<h4>Chapter 135: Why?</h4>

    At this moment, everyone was looking at her as if she was an idiot.


    Pei Anran sneered disdainfully.


    “Pei Qin, are you treating us like fools?”


    Lu Zhan asked, “Who’s behind all this?”


    Pei Qin didn’t have the brains to be so sharp as to fire the cleaner in such a short time and delete the surveince cameras.


    Pei Qin shook her head without speaking, still refusing to admit it.


    Lu Zhan could tell from her expression that this idiot might not even know who was helping her behind her back.


    Lu Zhan thought for a moment and said, “It should be Lin Qi.”


    Lin Qi. He could also be called Lu Qi. He was also the Old Master’s illegitimate son, but unlike other people who clung to the Lu family, his mother was deceived.


    Lu Zhan’s father, Lu Tianlin, was a hypocrite. Although he was a scumbag, he had a good appearance. As long as he wanted to, it wasn’t a problem for him to disguise himself as an elegant gentleman. Moreover, because he had a rich love history, it was easy for him to deceive young girls.


    Lin Qi’s mother was a beautiful university student who had just entered the workforce. It was not until she was pregnant and gave birth that she realized what a scumbag he was.


    Lin Qi’s mother was also dignified. She was unwilling to be a mistress, so she left Lu Tianlin with her son.


    However, Lu Tianlin felt that he had lost face. After that, he suppressed Lin Qi’s mother in every way possible, causing her to fall sick from exhaustion at a young age.


    She was weak and had a child with congenital deficiency. In the end, she had to escape overseas with Lin Qi to have a chance to catch a break.


    However, Lin Qi’s mother died in the year he turned 18 due to the deficiency and exhaustion of her body in her early years.


    Although Lin Qi was weak and even needed a wheelchair all year round, he had a smart brain.


    He was a genius hacker, and he’d made a name for himself in the circle when he was fifteen. He’d used this to earn money to treat his mother for two years.


    Lin Qi hated the Lu family and wanted to destroy them.


    He was far away overseas, but he could grasp all the situations of the Lu family in the country. He fooled the illegitimate children of the Lu family and even caused internal strife in the Lu family.


    He wasn’t targeting anyone. He just wanted to destroy everything Lu Tianlin had.


    The reason why he helped Pei Qin was probably to prevent Lu Zhan and his wife from finding the child so quickly. Then, he would expose what those illegitimate children of the Lu family had done in front of him, making him angry. He would use Lu Zhan as a knife to destroy Lu Tianlin and the Lu Corporation.


    However, the only thing that Lin Qi did not expect was that Lu Zhan was not to be trifled with either. After he epted the Lu Corporation, he uprooted everyone including Lu Tianlin, creating a new Lu Corporation from scratch.


    This Lu Corporation was Lu Zhan’s territory and had nothing to do with anyone else.


    As for whether Lin Qi had attacked again, they did not know, at least not at the moment.


    Nangong Yuxiu handed some surveince footage to Lu Zhan. “The surveince camera footage back then was very difficult to recover. They were destroyed after so many years. I found a friend to help repair them. It took a lot of time, but the results were good.”


    Pei Xue looked at all of this in confusion. So… her mother was also involved in Lu Xiaocha’s disappearance back then?


    So she had almost be a child of the Lu family.


    Pei Xue was anxious. Why… Why couldn’t her mother get pregnant with her earlier? If the n seeded, then everything Lu Xiaocha had would be hers now.


    Pei Xue and Pei Qin were of the same lineage. They only had their own interests in their eyes.


    “Pei Xue.”


    Lu Xiaocha held her chin and looked at her. “You’re an aplice in my kidnapping this time.”


    Pei Xue lowered her head guiltily and refused to admit it.


    “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”


    Lu Xiaocha looked at her with her dark eyes.


    “You know what? I found out a week ago that you were following me. I’m embarrassed to tell you you’re a lousy stalker.”


    As soon as she said this, Pei Xue’s face turned pale.


    “I’ve been wondering what you guys are up to. I deliberately created a lot of opportunities for you, but there was nothing. It was only yesterday when I was suddenly kidnapped on my way home that I discovered your motive. If you had said so earlier, I would have left earlier.”


    “Pft…”


    Nangong Yuxiuughed when she said the most infuriating words in a joking tone.


    He looked at his niece with eyes as cold as snow.


    Just based on Nangong Yuxiu’s protective attitude, Lu Xiaocha’s neat white teeth and cute dimples could easily make people like her.


    The smile in Nangong Yuxiu’s eyes deepened.


    Pei Xue’s eyes turned red with jealousy.


    “So what if I am!”


    After all, she was still young. She was already flustered previously, and now, she was so agitated that she did not care anymore.


    “Why is it that you were born high and mighty and can easily get anything you want? And when I tried so hard to get what I wanted, I could neverpare to you. I was the one who grew up with my cousins. I was so careful to please them, and they always treated me with disdain. And when you came back, you were a stranger, but they gave you all their love.”


    Pei Xue stared at Lu Xiaocha with hatred. “And Uncle, I tried so hard to get close to you, but you never looked at me. But you’re willing to protect Lu Xiaocha, whom you’ve never met before. What does what happened between you and Mom have anything to do with me? I’m just a child who doesn’t know anything. What did I do wrong!”


    Nangong Yuxiu looked at her indifferently. “So what?”


    “You know what? From the first moment I saw you, I knew you and your mother were the same. Selfish and stupid. You’re certainly a little smarter than your mother. At least you know how to use your strengths to show weakness and act pitiful.”


    “You said that you grew up with Beichen and the others, but you were actually able to approach them under your mother’s instructions. You even wanted to rece Xiaocha. There’s no such thing as true love when one’s motives aren’t pure. Pei Xue, don’t you think you’re too great?”


    Pei Xue’s eyes widened. “No, that’s not true.”


    She tried her best to convince herself. However, the truth was that Pei Qin had been reminding her ever since she became sensible. She wanted her to get close to the Lu family and try her best to gain Lu Zhan’s favor.


    Because her mom wanted to rece her sister.


    She’d heard enough of these things since she was a child to understand them.


    However, she did not reject it. Instead, she deliberately tried to curry favor with him. This was because the identity of the Lu family’s daughter was a huge temptation to her. She could not resist this temptation.


    When Lu Xiaocha returned, she had already thought about how to ostracize her. However, she did not expect her cousins to like someone who had just returned so much. All the schemes and schemes she had in mind were useless.


    Pei Anran looked at her in disgust.


    “Let me tell you why. Because Xiaocha is my daughter! She’s their biological sister. Who are you to fantasize!”
