Lu Xueyao, Sister Lu

Xu Mu stepped forward, picked up his phone, and answered, "What's up?"

"Ye Yu just messaged me. She said she's coming home today and will be going to the Xu Family Manor tonight. I was thinking of taking her along," Ye Tong said on the other end.

"Alright, do you want me to pick her up after work?" Xu Mu asked.

"No need. I plan to head out shortly to buy her an electric scooter. I'll pick her up myself; it's not like I have much else to do," Ye Tong replied with a smile.

"Alright then," Xu Mu agreed with a nod.

After work, Xu Mu drove straight home.

Today, he didn't invite Meng Wanyue. He couldn't keep pushing too hard every day.

Besides, today's matter was crucial for the Xu family's future. Meng Wanyue was someone connected to the Dragon King.

The Dragon King had returned, and his primary goal was to seize control of the Xu family.

Naturally, Xu Mu couldn't let her tag along.

...

Ye Tong bought an electric scooter worth over two thousand yuan and headed to Jiangshi High School.

She parked the scooter near the school gate and waited quietly.

Since getting her marriage certificate with Xu Mu, she hadn't seen Xu Shou again.

All the grievances she had endured before were swallowed down without complaint. She felt she owed the Xu family too much.

This time, she even considered buying gifts but decided to go home and ask Xu Mu for advice first.

"Whoa! Hey, gorgeous, can I add you on WeChat?"

At that moment, two blonde-haired guys passed by and were instantly captivated by Ye Tong.

Because she was riding an electric scooter, Ye Tong had opted for jeans today.

The jeans perfectly showcased her long, straight legs—truly top-tier. She could easily pass for a supermodel.

And Ye Tong wasn't just about her legs; her overall beauty was undeniable.

Among the two blondes, one of them was Liu Tu, the same guy Lu Xueyao had approached previously.

After being warned by Xu Mu last time, Liu Tu had refrained from bothering Lu Xueyao.

But he knew Xu Mu's warning was nothing more than an attempt to charm her and gain her favor.

It had been a few days now, and Liu Tu figured that someone like Xu Mu, who had money, would have already gotten bored.

Today, Liu Tu had come to the school specifically to find Lu Xueyao.

Unexpectedly, he stumbled upon another stunning beauty.

"Sorry, I'm married," Ye Tong replied coolly.

Women like her were often approached by strangers, and she had long grown accustomed to it.

"What a shame! You're missing out on a great guy like me," Liu Tu said, noticing that Ye Tong was riding an electric scooter. He assumed she wasn't from a wealthy family and decided not to give up.

Someone like him, with his looks—if he didn't dare to approach women, was he supposed to wait for them to come to him?

"Come on, gorgeous, just add me. My buddy's here, don't make me lose face," Liu Tu said with a grin.

Just as Ye Tong was about to refuse, she noticed that the students had started to leave school.

Ye Yu was one of the first to run out the gate.

Not far behind her was Lu Xueyao.

Lu Xueyao was following Ye Yu, not for any particular reason, but simply because she hoped to see Xu Mu, thinking he might come to pick Ye Yu up.

She wanted a chance to speak with Xu Mu.

"Big Sis!" Ye Yu called out with a bright smile, quickly running over to Ye Tong.

"Holy crap!" Liu Tu exclaimed when he saw Ye Yu. His eyes widened in astonishment.

These two—were they sisters?

"Gorgeous, add me, won't you? If you won't, then how about your little sister adds me instead?" Liu Tu said with a grin.

Ye Tong ignored them entirely. She had encountered plenty of men like this before. In broad daylight, they wouldn't dare do anything more than spout nonsense.

"Let's go."

Ye Tong let Ye Yu sit in the back seat, ready to leave.

"Hey, beautiful..."

"She doesn't want to add you, don't you understand?"

Just then, a woman's voice came from behind.

Liu Tu turned around, his eyes lighting up instantly. "Whoa! Are you Lu Xueyao?"

The last time Lu Xueyao reached out to him, she had dyed her hair blonde and wore heavy makeup.

Women with heavy makeup, as long as their figure and face shape are decent, are rarely unattractive.

But Liu Tu didn't expect that in reality, Lu Xueyao would be so stunning.

"That's right, don't you recognize me?"

Lu Xueyao, wearing a baseball cap and holding a backpack, said calmly.

Her eyes occasionally glanced at Ye Tong; she had overheard earlier.

Ye Yu called her sister, so unsurprisingly, this woman must be Xu Mu's wife.

She had to admit, she was very beautiful.

Especially that elegant aura she carried, something Lu Xueyao felt she could never learn in this lifetime.

"Lu Xueyao, what the hell is with your attitude? How are you talking to me?"

Liu Tu frowned and shouted coldly.

It had only been a day or two since they last met, but it seemed Lu Xueyao had changed drastically.

She used to be so timid when speaking to him, but now she dared to show such an expression.

Lu Xueyao didn't even look at Liu Tu; she was contemplating whether to greet Ye Tong.

"I'm talking to you! Are you deaf?"

Liu Tu furrowed his brow and strode toward Lu Xueyao.

Did she really think that sleeping with a rich guy would elevate her status?

Seeing this, Lu Xueyao calmly opened her backpack.

Liu Tu was already close, reaching out to grab her clothes.

Lu Xueyao immediately took out a pepper spray from her bag and sprayed it into Liu Tu's eyes.

Hiss...

"Ah! My eyes! Damn it!"

Liu Tu hadn't noticed; he never expected the timid Lu Xueyao to dare to fight back.

He rubbed his eyes with one hand and clenched his fist with the other, swinging wildly at Lu Xueyao.

Lu Xueyao kicked him, sending Liu Tu sprawling to the ground.

Growth is not always gradual.

Sometimes, after experiencing a certain event, one's mindset changes instantly in a short period.

This was the case for Lu Xueyao now.

"What are you standing there for? Grab that woman!"

Liu Tu yelled angrily, rubbing his eyes.

A chubby guy with dyed yellow hair hesitated for a moment but then started walking toward Lu Xueyao.

"What are you doing? I've called the police!"

Ye Tong took out her phone, her expression cold.

After all, this woman had just helped them out of a tight spot.

Lu Xueyao decided not to greet them today; she turned to leave.

But she saw a bald man leading two others from a distance.

That bald man was none other than Zhao Yan from before.

Lu Xueyao's eyes were wary; she wasn't sure if Zhao Yan was here for revenge.

"Damn it! You're not getting away!"

Liu Tu's eyes were bloodshot, but he could barely make out the scene before him.

He rushed toward Lu Xueyao but collided with a tall, imposing figure.

"Are you blind... Zhao, Brother Zhao, I'm sorry."

Originally, Liu Tu had a fierce look on his face, but upon seeing Zhao Yan, he wilted completely.

This guy was well-known in the underworld.

His boss used to be on par with the local Brother Hu.

However, two years ago, his boss was arrested and sentenced to at least ten years in prison.

Zhao Yan, the second-in-command, took over his boss's position, though he's not as formidable as Brother Hu now.

But he still runs a few businesses and commands a hundred or so men.

"You don't want to survive in this world, do you? You dare to provoke Sister Lu?"

Zhao Yan slapped Liu Tu across the face.

Liu Tu was stunned. Sister Lu?

What's going on?

Someone like Zhao Yan actually calling Lu Xueyao Sister Lu?

Not only Liu Tu, but Lu Xueyao was also taken aback.

But she quickly realized it must be because of Xu Mu.

"Sister Lu, how should we deal with him? Just say the word."

Zhao Yan flashed a flattering smile at Lu Xueyao.

What a joke, Huang Hu is still lying in the hospital.

Word is, his arm was reattached, but he won't be able to do heavy work in the future.

Last time, Xu Mu spared him by merely glancing at him before leaving.

If Xu Mu found out that he stood by and watched Lu Xueyao being bullied without stepping in, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

Lu Xueyao approached Liu Tu with an expressionless face.

Liu Tu kept his head down, not daring to meet Lu Xueyao's eyes.

Inside, Lu Xueyao could only lament that all of this was thanks to Brother Xu Mu.

Forget about being a fifth or sixth, she'd gladly be a seventh or eighth!
