Lu Zhu never imagined Song Yu would show up here. He felt pleased by her understanding nature, yet his heart twisted in pain upon noticing the heavy dark circles under her eyes.

“Yu’er?”

“Brother and Sister, I’m really fine.” With those words, Song Yu rose to her feet and headed to the door. She pulled it open, checked the hallway, saw no one around, shut it securely, and returned to Lu Zhu and Qiao Nian.

Qiao Nian eyed Song Yu with doubt, her gaze brimming with bewilderment. Still, she sensed Song Yu's weakened condition. Before she could offer to heal her, Song Yu murmured softly, “Brother, Sister, I realized that there’s something wrong with that person. She… she’s not right.”

Song Yu nearly called her a “spy” outright, but considering her doubts about Auntie Cao, she rephrased it.

Qiao Nian gazed at Song Yu with curiosity and quickly pressed, “What’s wrong?”

The words “something wrong” instantly brought Uncle Zhao to Qiao Nian’s mind. Had he not purposefully shared the information with those individuals back then, they never would have learned Qi Qi’s schedule.

“Brother and Sister.” Song Yu glanced at the pair before her, dropping her eyes a bit as she whispered, “This matter is very complicated. I want to start from the beginning.”

Qiao Nian had rushed to get back to Madam President’s residence. But Song Yu’s statement erased her urgency. Her grandfather’s acupuncture session was set for tomorrow, so returning in the morning would suffice.

Song Yu fished a sheet of paper from her pocket and passed it to Lu Zhu. “Brother, prior to Qi Qi’s incident, a woman named Song Xue approached me, claiming I was her real sister. She demanded I keep tabs on everything happening in our family.”

Lu Zhu peered down at the document in his grasp. It turned out to be the DNA test results for Song Yu and Song Xue. He extended it to Qiao Nian standing nearby.

Qiao Nian scanned the paper briefly, then turned to Song Yu. Astonished by her disclosure, she declared, “Brother, bring in the other three brothers. Whatever Yu’er has to share must be extremely vital.”

Shortly after, Lu Nian and Lu Jiang arrived—everyone except Lu Rao, who remained safeguarding Madam President. Qiao Nian and Song Yu occupied one sofa, while the three Lu brothers claimed the opposite couch.

Guards continued watching the entrance.

Lu Nian studied the report clutched in his hand, which confirmed Song Yu and Song Xue as blood relatives. His eyes tightened as he regarded Song Yu with a tangled look.

On any other occasion, Song Yu would have rejoiced at Second Brother’s attention, but at this moment, her focus stayed fixed on the teacup before her.

“Previously, Song Xue pressed me to track the Lu family’s every action. She claimed Song Man was my true sister and urged me to seek revenge for her. Of course, I refused. Afterward, she issued several threats. She warned that unless I obeyed, she’d expose how I’d reunited with my family yet lingered in the Lu household, refusing to depart.”

Song Yu’s brows creased faintly, her voice carrying a hint of sorrow. “I-I still turned her down. I planned to inform everyone, but then Qi Qi’s mishap occurred, and Sister traveled to Europe. With all the concern over Sister, I held my tongue.”

Upon hearing Song Yu’s account, Qiao Nian grasped her reasoning. She’d have done the same, biding time until stability returned. “Yu’er, I understand. You didn’t wish to burden anyone with more worries.”

“I planned to hold off until Madam President departed before mentioning this, but lately, I’ve noticed odd behavior from Auntie Cao. She repeatedly told me I didn’t belong in the Lu family. She even tried stirring trouble between Sister and me.”

While speaking, Song Yu’s eyes shifted to the magnolia-bark resting on the nearby table. “Auntie Cao has provoked me on numerous occasions. Today, she claimed Big Brother procured magnolia-bark to cure my insomnia, yet also insisted Big Brother favored Sister and intended it for her.”

Qiao Nian clasped Song Yu’s hand, ready to clarify, when Song Yu added, “But I’m no fool. I overheard everything clearly from the doorway moments ago. This magnolia-bark is meant for Madam President of Europe.

It’s also to help remind Madam President of the events from over twenty years past and uncover the wicked soul who’s tormented our Lu family!”
