President, the deceased lady has three more children

Chapter 478 Fu Yunchuan warns Lu Mingzhu not to provoke Nan Xing

Lu Mingzhu's fingers clenched nervously, and her body swayed slightly. She had to brace herself against the chair cushion with one hand to steady herself.

"So, Brother Yun Chuan, haven't you really noticed? You're becoming less and less trusting of me? Less and less caring about me?"

“It’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s that what you did went too far. Lu Mingzhu, Bugui did nothing wrong to you, so why did you slander her? She never bothered me; it was I who kept asking her to treat your illness. In other words, it was me who was bothering her.”

Fu Yunchuan's voice was cold; he still had no intention of telling Lu Mingzhu about Nanxing's identity.

Because there are too many lurking ghosts around Lu Mingzhu.

When Lu Mingzhu saw Fu Yunchuan say that she was the one who was harassing Nanxing, she was deeply hurt. Her eyes were red and her expression was distorted without her having to pretend.

"But what I said wasn't wrong! Although it was a bit irrational of me to go to Lin Ke, wasn't what I said correct? You have indeed been treating her very differently."

“I know you miss Nanxing and are worried about her, but she’s not Nanxing after all. Can’t you be a little more rational and clear-headed? Besides, that Bugui does have a close relationship with the Yun family. She even moved into the Yun family’s residence. Doesn’t she have some kind of ambiguous relationship with the Yun family?”

"Shut up! Watch your words!"

Fu Yunchuan suddenly glanced at her, and Lu Mingzhu's face turned pale with fright. This was not an act; she was genuinely frightened.

Fu Yunchuan's gaze just now was the kind that seemed to want to kill her immediately. She even suspected that if she hadn't had so many years of relationship with Fu Yunchuan, she would have been killed by him by now.

"I... Brother Yun Chuan, why are you being so mean to me for someone I have no relation to?"

"Who said she has no connection?" Fu Yunchuan's voice turned even colder. He couldn't stand hearing anyone say that he had no connection with Nanxing.

His reaction made Lu Mingzhu's heart sink, and a thought she didn't want to guess popped into her head.

"Brother Yun Chuan, what do you mean by this? What's your relationship with her? What kind of relationship do you have?"

She really wanted to know Nanxing's identity from Fu Yunchuan; she couldn't accept that Fu Yunchuan had kept it from her all this time for Nanxing's sake.

Fu Yunchuan calmed down; he couldn't reveal Nanxing's identity yet.

"We're just friends."

"Friends?" Lu Mingzhu found it laughable, and could only maintain a sad expression on her face.

"Okay, we're just friends. But now you're treating me like this for the sake of a so-called friend? Don't you feel guilty at all? Our relationship should be the best one."

Fu Yunchuan did not answer her questions. He would not treat Lu Mingzhu this way for the sake of a so-called friend.

But Nanxing wasn't his friend; she was his wife, his wife for life.

"Mingzhu, don't let me find out about something like you going to see Lin Ke again."

Fu Yunchuan's tone was full of warning, and Lu Mingzhu's heart sank again.

"Also, her affairs with the Yun family have nothing to do with you. You'd better pretend you don't know anything about them. Otherwise, if the Yun family comes after you, I won't be able to protect you. Yun Shen is not as simple as he seems on the surface."

"Is it that you can't protect it or that you don't want to?" Lu Mingzhu asked unwillingly.

If Fu Yunchuan really wanted to protect her, how could he not? Even if Yun Shen isn't as simple as she seems on the surface, so what? Could she be more complex than Fu Yunchuan? Obviously not.

So Fu Yunchuan is just trying to scare her away from going to Nanxing.

"What do you think?" Fu Yunchuan threw the question back at her, the coldness in his eyes sending a chill down Lu Mingzhu's spine.

She moved her lips slightly, looking at Fu Yunchuan with extremely hurt eyes, and asked, "So it wasn't Bu Gui who asked you to come here about these things, but Lin Ke who asked you to tell you, right?"

At first, she suspected that Lin Ke had told Nan Xing, and Nan Xing then asked Lin Ke to tell Fu Yunchuan. However, judging from Fu Yunchuan's words, it was not Lin Ke who told Fu Yunchuan, but Nan Xing who personally approached Fu Yunchuan.

So how many times did Fu Yunchuan and Nanxing meet in places she didn't know, and what did Nanxing say to Fu Yunchuan that made him treat her this way?

She gripped the sofa cushion tightly, trying her best to hide the burning jealousy raging inside her.

Fu Yunchuan frowned slightly, but did not answer Lu Mingzhu's question. Instead, he asked about Lu Mingzhu's examination at the hospital.

How did today's checkup go?

How could Lu Mingzhu not see through his obvious attempt to shift the blame?

Similarly, shifting the question is a sign of insecurity, which is essentially a default answer.

"All the tests ordered by Vice President Li have been completed."

Lu Mingzhu was unwilling, but she could only continue speaking in accordance with these words, because Fu Yunchuan's warning was already very clear. If she did not obey, she didn't know how much Fu Yunchuan would warn her.

Fu Yunchuan gave a faint "hmm" and said, "If there's nothing else, you can go back now. Remember what I just said, don't pay too much attention to the matter of Bu Gui, or you'll have to bear the consequences."

Lu Mingzhu felt a sharp pang of sadness in her heart again.

Fu Yunchuan's words were clearly meant to protect Nanxing. Nanxing's identity hadn't even been revealed yet, and this was already the case. If it were revealed, wouldn't he be even more direct and frank?

What kind of joke would she become then? She didn't even dare to imagine it.

"I...I don't usually pay much attention to her, but this time I'm really furious and heartbroken. Brother Yun Chuan, if you slept with a stranger for a night, wouldn't you be angry?"

"You didn't pay much attention to her? The fact that Bu Gui lives in the Yun family is kept very secret by the Yun family. If you hadn't paid special attention, you would never have known that she was living in the Yun family."

Fu Yunchuan directly exposed her words. What he hadn't said was that he was also secretly keeping Nanxing's stay at the Yun family's house a secret. Otherwise, how could there have been no leaks at all?

Lu Mingzhu's expression changed. Knowing that she couldn't hide it any longer, she could only grit her teeth and admit it.

"Yes, I couldn't help but check on it for a moment, but I had no choice. I accepted that you couldn't let go of Nanxing before, even though you betrayed our promise first."

"But why should you notice someone who's completely unrelated to me? Isn't it normal for me to pay attention to her out of jealousy and envy? I'm only doing this once, it's not like I pay attention to her every time."

She knew that for Fu Yunchuan, it was far better for her to harbor such thoughts about other women out of jealousy than for her to target Nan Xing knowing that the other woman was Nan Xing.

At this moment, she couldn't even say whether she should be glad that Fu Yunchuan hadn't told her Nanxing's true identity, otherwise how would she have covered up all those lies?

Fu Yunchuan's face darkened, but he still went to refute Lu Mingzhu's words.

"I don't want to hear about this again. It's getting late, you should go home."

Hearing Fu Yunchuan's cold and harsh tone telling her to leave, Lu Mingzhu was both angry and upset, but she didn't dare to argue back. She could only leave with a wronged and hurt expression.

Based on her understanding of Fu Yunchuan, the words he said to her were extremely serious and showed he was very angry, no less than if someone had offended him and he had made it impossible for them to ever appear in front of her again.

As Lu Mingzhu reached the office door, she turned back one last time, hoping that Fu Yunchuan would say something to her or try to persuade her to stay. Unfortunately, Fu Yunchuan just kept his head down, looking at the computer, and said nothing.

Fu Yunchuan was also eager for her to leave as soon as possible.

Lu Mingzhu could only leave unwillingly.

Fu Yunchuan looked up at the doorway, his brows furrowed. What he had just said was clear enough that Lu Mingzhu would not do anything more to Nanxing.

Fortunately, Lu Mingzhu doesn't know Nanxing's identity yet, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble it would cause, which would be more harmful than beneficial to Nanxing.

The things he said to Nanxing in the park this morning made him even more anxious.

The events of six years ago were truly bizarre. He had been investigating in secret but couldn't find anything, and Han Feng couldn't find a single trace either. No wonder his mother said he had become useless.

He turned on his computer, went to the forum, found a chat dialog box, and sent a message.

Ze Bao and Mu Bao were in their room, each using their computers to browse the internet. Suddenly, a message popped up on Mu Bao's computer.

"Brother, look at this! Fu Yunchuan actually came looking for us!"

They've started giving Fu Yunchuan the silent treatment these past few days, mainly because they don't want their mother to worry about them.

That day, the eldest uncle had a serious talk with them for a long time, saying that he understood their desire to seek justice for their mother, but the two of them were still children, and if they were tricked by Fu Yunchuan and really separated from their mother, it would be a loss for them.

The eldest uncle also said he would seek justice for Mommy, so they should stop contacting Fu Yunchuan and could do whatever they wanted.

After their uncle's analysis, they agreed. So, they didn't go to see Fu Yunchuan specifically these past few days, but they were still secretly observing him. After all, they knew some different information through these channels, so it was a way to have a backup plan.

Because of this, their uncle even got them two sets of super-good computer equipment, which let them have a great time.

Unexpectedly, instead of them seeking out Fu Yunchuan, Fu Yunchuan took the initiative to reach out to them.

Zebao leaned over to look at the computer.

[Want to cooperate? Let's investigate the car accident involving Bu Gui, also known as Nan Xing, from back then. It's too obvious that someone is covering it up. I won't let you down if you find anything through our cooperation.]

Ze Bao stared at the words without saying a word, while Mu Bao stroked her chin in confusion.

"Brother, what do you think Fu Yunchuan means by this? Why did he suddenly send us this message? Is he going to cooperate with us? This sounds too strange. Do you think it might be a trap?"

"There definitely will be."

"What should we do then? Continue ignoring him? Continue giving him the silent treatment?"

Zebao nodded with a serious little face.

"Then let's ignore him. We'll listen to our uncle. We'll investigate what happened six years ago slowly. There's no need to cooperate with him."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say!" Mu Bao swung her legs and just as she agreed, she saw another message appear on the computer screen.

It must be that Fu Yunchuan on the other end was getting anxious because they hadn't replied to their messages for so long and were afraid they wouldn't agree.

[Don't you really want to know what happened back then? You've been investigating for so long and haven't found out, not even Fu Yunchuan himself. Aren't you curious? I won't tell anyone you're working with me.]

Upon seeing this information, Ze Bao and Mu Bao were indeed a little itchy and quite tempted.

The people on the other side really knew their curiosity and were clearly trying to lure them in.

That's just how human psychology works; even if they know the other person is doing it on purpose, they still can't help but take the bait.

The two little ones exchanged a glance, and a tacit understanding was formed at that moment.

"Brother, how about..." Mu Bao tentatively began.

"You should reply to him," Ze Bao said before Mu Bao could finish speaking.

"Okay!" Mu Bao's eyes lit up, and she typed quickly.

Seeing Mu Bao's excited expression, Ze Bao gave him a serious instruction, saying:

"However, we must be extremely careful about this matter. We should not tell our uncles or Fu Yunchuan for the time being, and we should not meet with Fu Yunchuan either. We should share information with him for the time being and see what he can find out and what he can say."

"Don't worry, brother, I'll listen to you." Mu Bao said confidently, patting her chest loudly.

"But brother, what do you think Fu Yunchuan means by this? Does it mean that what happened back then really had nothing to do with him?"

"I don't know, let's observe first."

Now that things have come to this, they still don't know what Fu Yunchuan is going to do. In any case, it is a fact that Fu Yunchuan hurt their mother, and their attitude towards Fu Yunchuan will not change.

"Ok."

Fu Yunchuan narrowed his eyes upon seeing the reply from the other side; the person on the other side was as cautious as ever.

[What makes you think we'd agree to that? And what benefits would we gain from cooperating with you?]

[If you don't agree, I won't reply to your messages. You've investigated for so long and haven't found a single clue. That's the benefit of cooperating with me.]

[We can put other things aside for now and focus on figuring out this matter first.]

Fu Yunchuan lit another cigarette; at this moment, he really needed a cigarette to calm his emotions.

He knew his action was impulsive, but it was also a pretty good solution.

He desperately wanted to know what had happened back then; he couldn't wait any longer. Nanxing's words about dying together this morning had terrified him.

Only if he can figure out what happened back then will his relationship with Nanxing be able to turn around, instead of remaining as strained as it is now.

Mu Bao curled his lip at Fu Yunchuan's self-righteous information. Although he said that, he was still a little annoyed by Fu Yunchuan's completely confident attitude.

"Don't waste time talking to him or try to get information out of him. Just tell him to share information and let us know if there are any problems," Ze Bao said expressionlessly.

Mu Bao responded with an "ok" and then started typing.

[Information sharing; please let us know if you have any questions.]

After sending the message, Mu Bao immediately went offline.

At this point, they need to act aloof to avoid being guessed and schemed against by Fu Yunchuan.
