Chapter 700: The Banquet Ends

she opened her eyes."Oh, YaoYao is awake," a gentle female voice sounded.Fu Xiao Yao subconsciously looked towards her. After seeing her face, she was astonished, "Mom"It was the mother speaking.Shi M...Fú Xiǎoyáo frowned, "Is this Ms. Lin"

Lin Mu-xi nodded, "Yes."

"You've already bowed your head in deference. Why do you have to say it again" Fu Xiaoyao raised her arms, looking at her with a half-smile.

Lin Mu Xi raised her head to glance at Lu Han Chuan beside her, then lowered her head, biting her lip and replying: "Because I feel like my apology just now wasn't sincere, so..."

“It’s fine, whether your apology is sincere or not doesn’t matter. I can’t just let you off the hook just because you apologized. I won’t let you get away with ruining my dress. Sure, it wasn’t expensive, but it still cost money! It’s not fair to waste it like this, don't you think” Fu Xiaoyao lifted her skirt slightly.

Lin Mu Xi clasped her hands together, "Ms. Shi..."

"Call me Mrs. Lu," Fu Xiaoyao corrected her lips.

Lu Hanchuan heard this, his thin lips curled slightly, clearly in a good mood.

Lin Mu Xi's face was pale, as if she had suffered some grievance. She looked accusingly at Fu Xiao Yao and said, "Yes, Mrs. Lu!"

She pronounced the three words "Mrs. Lu" with particular emphasis.

Fu Xiaoyao could tell she wasn't saying it willingly, but she didn't mind. She tossed her hair and asked, "What were you about to say"

Lin Muxi took a deep breath, “Mrs. Lu, the price of this dress is really too high for me. I only got your dress slightly wet, could you possibly charge me less...”

"No!" Fu Xiaoyao interrupted her, "I've already made it very clear. I'm not a philanthropist, so I won't show mercy. Besides, Ms. Lin came to tonight's banquet, and she obviously has a high net worth. She shouldn't be unable to afford the loss, right"

Of course not...

"If not, then that's it." Fu Xiaoyao shrugged.

Lin Mu Xi's body trembled slightly, her eyes red as she looked at Lu Han Chuan, as if she had something to say to him.

Fu Xiaoyao's eyes turned cold, "Miss Lin, why are you looking at my husband like that"

Lin Mu Xi's eyes flashed, she quickly withdrew her gaze and shook her head. "No, I was just thinking, my parents are both abroad, I'm the only one who came here, and I only brought over a million or so. After losing to Mrs. Lu, I have no more money. So, Mrs. Lu, can I work for you to pay off the debt"

As long as she could get close to this man, she was willing to do anything.

Once she makes this man fall in love with her, she will definitely get rid of that wicked woman.

This woman is so vicious, she only got it slightly wet and still wants others to compensate her. Just wash it, wouldn't that be enough What does she mean washing it afterward makes it unwearable This skirt was disposable anyway, why be so dramatic

Fu Xiaoyao didn't know what Lin Muhxi was thinking, but when she heard that she was going to work at home, she was both shocked and amused.

"Honey, this young lady said she wants to work at home. What do you think" Fu Xiaoyao looked at Lu Hanchuan, a hint of coldness in her eyes.

Lin Mu Xi also looked at Lu Han Chuan, her eyes full of hope.

She hoped he would agree.

Then Lu Hanchuan didn't even glance at her, his eyes gently focused on Fu Xiaoyao, and he patted her hair, "There are already enough servants at home, there's no need to hire anyone else."

Fu Xiaoyao retracted the coldness in her eyes and looked at Lin Mu'xi, "Miss Lin, did you hear that My husband said he doesn't need anyone, so I'm sorry about the job. As for your money, it's no problem. I give you three months. During this time, whether you go to work elsewhere or call your parents, it should be enough for you to repay the debt."

"But..." Lin Muhi still wanted to say something.

Fu Xiaoyao narrowed her eyes, "Miss Lin had better not say anything about it being impossible or that there's not enough time to call and make excuses for the debt. Otherwise, I'll call the police."

After saying that, she bent her arm and left with Lu Hanchuan.

Lin Mu Xi stood still, biting her lips, eyes red as she watched the two figures leave. Her heart was filled with unwillingness.

Why, why are you pushing her so hard!

She got her skirt dirty, but she didn't mean to. What's with the aggression

Fu Xiaoyao didn't care what that woman would think after she left.

She was now in the car on her way back with Lu Hanchuan.

Lu Hanchuan put his coat on her, then asked, "What happened How did your skirt get splashed"

"That's what happened." Fu Xiaoyao recounted the events at that time, without adding any embellishment.

Lu Hanchuan nodded after hearing this, indicating that he understood.

Fu Xiaoyao propped her hands on her knees, looking at him and asking, "Husband, do you think I'm being too harsh by making that woman pay"

"No." Lu Hanzhan shook his head. "She stained her clothes, compensation is only right and proper."

"Well, but she doesn't seem to think so. She thinks I made her lose her clothes and acted like I committed a terrible sin. Look at how wronged she looked then, she was about to cry." Fu Xiaoyao said, couldn't help but scoff.

She could tell from the beginning that woman had no intention of paying her or apologizing sincerely.

I keep apologizing repeatedly, but it's just to get closer to Lu Hanchuan. After all, the way that woman looked at him with a pitiful expression back then was so obvious.

"What's wrong" Lu Hanchuan raised an eyebrow slightly when he saw Fu Xiaoyao staring at him.

Fu Xiaoyao smirked, "It's nothing, I just think my husband has a lot of good fortune with women."

Lü Hánchuan thought she was talking about Jiang Nanna and pulled her hand to kiss it, "Don't worry, I will always be yours, and I will only love you."

Fu Xiaoyao could tell he was serious. She smiled and leaned her head against his shoulder, "I know, me too. As long as you don't betray me, I won't betray you either."

Lu Hanchuan tilted her face, "There will never be such a day."

Fu Xiaoyao smiled and said nothing.

I hope that day never comes.

After going through so much, she was no longer the naive woman who only believed in promises.

So for Lu Hanchuan's words, she wouldn't believe everything, she would only believe half, and leave the other half to time, using time to prove whether his promise was credible or not.

Lu Hanchuan saw through Fu Xiaoyao's thoughts and secretly sighed.

Although he was somewhat disappointed that she didn't trust him wholeheartedly, he didn't say anything. He just patted her head and said, "Are you tired"

"A little bit." Fu Xiaoyao nodded.

"Then go to sleep, I'll call you when it's my turn." Lü Hánchuan smoothed the coat over her shoulders.

Fu Xiaoyao hummed softly, rubbed her head against his shoulder, then closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Soon, the old house arrived.

Lu Hánchuan, however, didn't wake up Fù Xiǎoyáo as he said he would. Instead, he directly carried her out of the car and into the old house's gate.

"Mr. Lu, you're back, Madam..." Seeing Lu Hanchuan holding Fu Xiaoyao back, and Fu Xiaoyao was still lying in his arms, Song Yi couldn't help but be startled.

Lu Hanchuan walked back while replying, "It's nothing, she just fell asleep."

"Oh my, you scared me!" Aunt Song patted her chest.

Lu Hánchuan continued walking forward, "Xiao Bao is asleep"

"He's asleep, at Second Young Master's place." Song Auntie replied from behind him.

Lu Hanchuan's footsteps faltered, "At Han Ling's side"

“Yes, Second Master said he missed Xiaobao, so he took Xiaobao to sleep with him.” Auntie Song smiled and covered her mouth.

Lu Hanchuan continued his stride, "No wonder he didn't attend the banquet tonight."

"The second young master said he didn't know the Ginger family and it didn't matter whether he went or not, since the master was going anyway. He might as well stay behind."

"He's just making excuses for his laziness." Lu Hanchuan pursed his lips and snorted coldly. better. "Also, there is one more thing you need to investigate." 。"Director, please speak. " Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!。Lisa listened attentively, her eyes fix...
