Shen Hai Xiao Ye

Chapter 358 The Yu Family Owes Lu Wanqing Money

"What does your plant research have to do with us? Don't you know that Shushu and I hate you?" Lu Wanqing directly mocked.

"Don't forget, last time all the plants in Shushu's glass greenhouse were destroyed by you. Shushu's place will not welcome you in the future," Lu Wanqing said.

"Right!" Xiao Yu Shu quickly nodded, her voice crisp and clear as she echoed her mother's words.

"Lu Wanqing! Don't talk nonsense. Don't forget, this is the Yu family!!!" At this moment, Madam Yu suddenly pulled a long face and reprimanded coldly.

Upon hearing Madam Yu's sharp words, Lu Wanqing's suspended breath actually relaxed. The matter hadn't been investigated clearly yet, and she couldn't let An Zhizhi detect anything unusual at this time. Otherwise, if she thought about it later, what if she discovered the surveillance robot hidden in their house?

Lu Wanqing also noticed the subtle change in An Zhizhi's eyes when she heard Madam Yu's stern scolding. She relaxed.

An Zhizhi probably hadn't noticed the problem yet.

Lu Wanqing looked at Yu Nong and said, "Nong'er, let's go."

"Nong'er, you stay too," Madam Yu suddenly said.

Lu Wanqing's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Madam Yu.

Madam Yu's eyes were cold as she looked at Lu Wanqing and Yu Nong.

Lu Wanqing quickly recovered. Yes, according to the personality Madam Yu had previously displayed, she would "favor" An Zhizhi even more and would indeed order Yu Nong to stay.

Lu Wanqing understood her thoughts but couldn't relax. Could Yu Nong's personality handle this act?

"...Alright." Yu Nong finally nodded sullenly after a long pause.

Lu Wanqing, with Shushu, watched as Madam Yu and An Zhizhi led Yu Nong into the living room.

At this moment, Lu Wanqing suddenly regretted her thought of sending Yu Nong away. If she hadn't suggested going to the glass greenhouse, perhaps she could have stayed and gone to the living room with them?

No, she and Shushu had a strained relationship with An Zhizhi before, and they rarely stayed in the same place. Suddenly following them now would only arouse suspicion. It was better to leave normally.

It's just…

She hoped Yu Nong would step up and not expose them.

"Let's go to the glass greenhouse," Lu Wanqing said softly, stroking Xiao Yu Shu's head.

Xiao Yu Shu was worried, but when she looked up and met her mother's gaze, she sensibly nodded. "Okay."

Lu Wanqing took Shushu to the glass greenhouse.

Xiao Yu Shu couldn't help but worry, "Mommy, Daddy and Grandma..."

"Shush!" Lu Wanqing quickly crouched down, stopping her child from speaking.

Xiao Yu Shu blinked, suddenly understanding her mother's meaning. She nodded, closed her mouth, and stopped mentioning the matter.

"Shall we look at your plants?" Lu Wanqing suggested.

Although An Zhizhi had destroyed many plants last time, not all of them were gone. There were still some plants inside that Yu Nong had been taking care of when Shushu wasn't around, and they were growing well.

Lu Wanqing and Shushu lingered in the glass greenhouse for a long time before An Zhizhi finished her business and left.

Yu Nong returned to the glass greenhouse.

Xiao Yu Shu immediately stood up and ran towards her father, "Daddy!"

Yu Nong ruffled his child's head.

Lu Wanqing looked at Yu Nong and quietly asked, "Is everything okay?"

Yu Nong nodded. "Mhm."

"Let's go back inside," Yu Nong said.

Lu Wanqing took Shushu back to the living room. Madam Yu was still in the living room. Madam Yu, who had been stern-faced earlier, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Lu Wanqing enter, but she also had some worries.

"Wanqing, there was a surveillance video in the living room just now. Do you want to watch it?" Madam Yu suddenly said.

Lu Wanqing froze and looked up at Madam Yu in surprise.

Madam Yu frowned and said, "We tried very hard to control our emotions just now, but... I don't know if we acted well. I don't know if An Zhizhi will notice anything."

Lu Wanqing understood. She found it amusing, but since Madam Yu had said so, it was good to watch.

To be honest, the Yu family was too simple. She really wasn't at ease with them facing An Zhizhi alone.

Seeing Lu Wanqing agree, Madam Yu was also very happy and quickly sent the video from the living room to Lu Wanqing.

Wanqing was so smart. If they had performed poorly earlier, or if An Zhizhi had done something, Wanqing would surely discover it, right?

Lu Wanqing didn't know that at this moment, she had become the backbone of Madam Yu's heart. After receiving the video, she began to examine it carefully.

Lu Wanqing and Madam Yu reviewed it several times together and finally confirmed that their performance was very good, and An Zhizhi should not have noticed anything. Everyone finally relaxed.

However, An Zhizhi's appearance did remind them of one thing: Lu Wanqing and Shushu could not stay at the Yu family's home for the time being, otherwise An Zhizhi might suspect something.

After Lu Wanqing discussed it with Madam Yu, everyone agreed. Finally, Yu Nong escorted Lu Wanqing and Shushu back to Lu Wanqing's courtyard, while Madam Yu stayed at home alone.

Investigating evidence was indeed quite difficult. This situation continued for another month. Through the robot's surveillance, they were 100% certain that the An family had problems and that the incident ten years ago had issues.

But where was the evidence?

They searched for a long time but found no concrete proof that An Xian had intentionally caused harm back then.

The Yu family fell into anxiety again, especially Madam Yu. She was very worried that if this continued, just like before, even if they waited ten years, they wouldn't find the real evidence.

After considering it, Lu Wanqing decided to go directly to Wei Xingzhou. She remembered that when she and Xiao Yi had an accident last time, those space pirates had mentioned that the Wei family had hired mercenaries to rescue them.

If the surveillance robots couldn't find evidence, then by hiring special individuals through the black market to help them investigate and collect evidence, that should be possible.

When Wei Xingzhou received the communication, he learned that Lu Wanqing wanted to help the Yu family investigate the incident ten years ago. Without hesitation, he helped her connect with a very reliable private investigator.

It was at this time that Lu Wanqing realized that Wei Xingzhou, as a famous celebrity in the interstellar era, might also be hounded and followed by paparazzi and fans like in the ancient Earth era.

It didn't seem strange that someone with his special identity knew those detectives.

Lu Wanqing trusted the person Wei Xingzhou introduced. After negotiating the terms with him, she paid the money.

Indeed, because the people and matters being investigated were so unusual, and it had been ten years, the price was not low, but Lu Wanqing could still afford it.

Yu Nong knew that Lu Wanqing had spent so much money and insisted on writing Lu Wanqing an IOU, saying that he would definitely repay her in the future.

Lu Wanqing found it amusing. When she first came to the Yu family, they seemed quite wealthy. In less than a year, they were already in debt.

However, as long as the matter could be resolved, their whole family was happy. Even if they became poor, they were still happy!
