Butler Yu seemed to have been struck by lightning, his entire body instantly frozen in place, his thoughts unable to process anything.

Yu Jinzhao's previous statement clearly implied that there was something going on between him and Lin Hui, but now he suddenly changed his tune and put on an innocent and bewildered expression, making his current excited attempt to prove his innocence seem like a case of protesting too much.

At that moment, I suddenly understood what it meant to confess without being asked, and to have a guilty conscience.

So this was Yu Jinzhao's real purpose.

Her way of doing things was surprisingly similar to her mother's.

Lin Hui's heart skipped a beat. She realized that Yu Jinzhao was setting a trap for her and the housekeeper, and she smiled gently as she tried to smooth things over.

"Chaochao, you're right. I've known the housekeeper for many years and we're indeed very good friends. The housekeeper was just a little flustered because he was afraid that Zongxian would misunderstand."

Yu Jinzhao raised an eyebrow slightly, looking as if she understood but didn't, and glanced at Lin Hui with an indifferent expression.

Lin Hui sat upright and gracefully, her expression virtuous and honest, showing no sign of panic.

It's clear that Jiang Xintong's mental fortitude, which is as thick as Mount Everest, is a perfect inheritance from her.

Lin Hui thought she knew everyone in the Yu family, but now, looking into Yu Jinzhao's clear and bright eyes, she felt inexplicably separated by a layer of winter haze, and in the blink of an eye, she saw an unfathomable and unfathomable depth, and she could not see through her at all.

Did that bastard actually discover her affair with Butler Yu, or was he just making baseless accusations?

Yu Jinzhao suddenly chuckled, still in her innocent and carefree tone.

"Ms. Lin and the housekeeper's relationship is indeed getting better and better. She even knows whether the housekeeper is panicking or not. I was also raised by the housekeeper and have known him for longer than you have, but I can't tell at all."

The last sentence was tinged with a thought-provoking sentiment.

The implication is that Lin Hui's feelings for Butler Yu have gone beyond what a close friend should have.

Lin Hui smiled and clenched her teeth tightly.

Looking at Yu Jinzhao again, her pretty rosy cheeks were full of innocence and purity, as if she had just said it casually.

But she could clearly catch a hint of sinister mockery in her eyes.

In the blink of an eye, it melted into the pupil and evaporated into the air.

It was like a silent provocation, as if she were watching the ants struggle and perform in front of her with a shrewd and calculating mind.

But this was clearly the same playful attitude she used to have when she manipulated everyone in the Yu family.

Butler Yu, whose composure was wavering, was about to retort upon hearing this, "Miss, you can't make such assumptions..."

"Shut up!" Yu Zongxian slammed his hand on the sofa armrest and said in a deep voice.

"Chaochao is still a child. She is just describing what she saw and her subconscious feelings. She doesn't understand anything, so what can she possibly guess?"

Lin Hui's breath hitched, and she nearly bit her teeth to pieces.

I just feel that Yu Zongxian truly deserves the title of doting father. Yu Jinzhao is already married, how could he not understand?

Yu Zongxian paused, his gaze sweeping over Lin Hui before landing on Butler Yu, his eyes growing colder as he questioned him.

"If you two are innocent and have good intentions, what are you panicking about here?"

His voice, each word precious and resonant, was like a meteorite falling into a barren desert, stirring up a fierce sandstorm.

Butler Yu felt as if an overwhelming sandstorm swept over him, engulfing him and swallowing up his five senses.

The feeling of fear made him breathe rapidly, and beads of sweat slid down his neck, soaking his back.

He was completely disoriented and didn't even have the courage to look up, so he could only lower his head.

Lin Hui felt a heavy weight sink into her heart when she saw the scrutiny in Yu Zongxian's eyes.

Whether Yu Jinzhao discovered her affair with Butler Yu or was merely testing the waters.

The current result is that Butler Yu has completely lost Yu Zongxian's trust, and she is no longer the gentle, virtuous, considerate, and flawless figure in Yu Zongxian's heart.

Yu Jinzhao has a brilliant plan!

By ruining her good impression on Yu Zongxian, she will lose her say in crucial moments. In the future, no matter what she says, Yu Zongxian will reserve his opinion and will not be influenced by her!

"Dad, your blood pressure is unstable, please don't get angry." Yu Jinzhao patted Yu Zongxian's back and said considerately.

"I think I might have seen wrong. The housekeeper didn't hold Ms. Lin's hand; he just gave her a helping hand."

Lin Hui's breath hitched, and she clenched her fingers again, feeling extremely resentful.

She has always been a master strategist, treating Yu Jinzhao as a plaything in the palm of her hand. Even now that Yu Jinzhao has grown claws and started to bite back, she remains indifferent, always calmly watching her plaything struggle.

But now, her composure has been shattered, as if she has been devoured by a toy, and she is experiencing tension for the first time.

If Yu Jinzhao insists that she saw Butler Yu holding her hand, she can turn the tables and accuse her of maliciously framing her.

After all, Butler Yu didn't defend her at the banquet last time, and given her spoiled personality, revenge was to be expected.

Just when she was about to retaliate, she stopped herself in time and said she had misread it.

She had a perfect grasp of people's hearts. Even if she was really wrong, there's no smoke without fire, which is tantamount to a complete conviction.

Sometimes, a statement that seems both true and false carries more weight than a definitive answer!

One can't help but wonder, did Yu Jinchao study psychology during his three years abroad?

Sure enough, Yu Zongxian's expression became even more gloomy, like the somber weather before a storm.

Seizing the last opportunity to deliver a finishing blow, Yu Jinzhao added with a smile, "After all, Ms. Lin loves my father so much, how could you possibly do anything to betray him?"

The final rhetorical question is a true test of the soul.

The implication is that while you may not be able to do it, others might not.

Butler Yu's body went limp, and he knelt down on the ground, raising his head in alarm and looking to Lin Hui for help.

Yu Zongxian exuded a chilling aura, which seemed to freeze even the wind blowing through the hall outside the door.
