The meaning behind her words was cleur—Lu Nanze was in a bad mood, so don’t come over.
Dad Qiao understood and said, “Well then, we’ll see tomorrow. And, Yiyi, you have to give Mr. Lu a child as soon as possible. Only with a child will you be able to strengthen your position. You have to know that you have nothing! If it weren’t for the fact that the media announced you were going to marry Qiao Yiyi, you would have never had such good luck. To Mr. Lu, you are nothing at all. You have to understand this and know what to do at the right time, do you get it?”
She rolled her eyes.
Then she said, “I know, Dad. I will take good care of Mr. Lu and won’t even dream of being ambitious.”
Dad Qiao: …
Dad Qiao coughed softly and said, “I don’t mean that. I mean that you have to be smart about it and plan. You have to understand that only if your family grows strong, he’ll treat you with respect. If our family seems too poor…. No, you have to think for our family, understand?”
Qiao Yiyi protested, “But Dad, Mr. Lu has a bad temper, I wouldn’t dare—”
“You- you coward! Really, forget it, I can’t knock sense into you. I’m hanging up!”
After he hung up, Qiao Yiyi stared at her cell phone and twitched her mouth.
Then she tossed the phone aside.
Indeed.
She was just a replacement.
When Lu Nanze’s father was alive, they had announced a wedding between Lu Nanze and Qiao Yiyi. But that Qiao Yiyi had been given a life sentence for homicide, so she was in jail.
Left in a difficult position, Lu Nanze thought of a solution—he would marry someone with the same name and put a stop to all the rumors.
Hence, that became her opportunity.
At this thought, Qiao Yiyi gave a frosty laugh.
She cast this matter aside and went to take a shower. When she returned, she climbed back into bed and fell asleep.
–
When she woke up, the sun was high in the sky.
Qiao Yiyi… No, actually, it was that Qiao Yiyi [1.In Chinese, these names are pronounced the same, but the writing is different]. She stretched her body and went to the bathroom to wash up before heading downstairs.
She made a beeline for the kitchen and found some food. She took it to the dining room.
She pretended not to notice the looks of disdain that the housekeepers threw at her.
After having breakfast, she looked up and stretched again. Suddenly, she noticed Lu Nanze sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Qiao Yiyi: …!
Recently, Lu Nanze had not been home and she had gotten used to it. How could she have forgotten that he had come home yesterday?!
Immediately, she withdrew her arms and looked at him timidly.
Lu Nanze, on the other hand, had not even raised his eyes to look at her. He was staring ahead, deep in thought.
He had been trying to hunt down Traceless all night without any hint of success at all.
Was Traceless really this amazing?
As he contemplated this, the butler walked in. “Sir.”
Lu Nanze lifted his gaze and saw that the butler was staring at him. He then did the same in Qiao Yiyi’s direction.
Qiao Yiyi had no idea what that look was about, so she stood there, saying nothing.
The butler cleared his throat and spoke, “Erm, Madam’s family is here to visit. They say Madam has invited them.”
Qiao Yiyi: …!
