My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 467: Aren’t You Afraid He’ll Come Looking for You?

Chapter 467: Chapter 467: Aren’t You Afraid He’ll Come Looking for You?

Lu Youxi laughed without saying a word, her face bearing an expression that read, "Do you think I believe you?"

Old Master Lu fumed, "I’m telling the truth!"

What an expression Lu Youxi had!

"Alright," Lu Youxi nodded.

Old Master Lu was infuriated because he felt Lu Youxi’s nod wasn’t sincere in the slightest.

Lu Youxi purposely irritated Old Master Lu just a bit.

She could understand Old Master Lu’s actions, but that didn’t mean she was willing to be investigated by him.

It was offensive to her for anyone to be investigating her behind her back.

"In fact, if you want to know anything, you’re welcome to ask me directly," Lu Youxi said, suggesting there was no need to investigate her.

"I’m always honest with you, as you know."

Old Master Lu: "..."

He knew all too well how straightforward Lu Youxi could be—he didn’t even know how to respond.

Old Master Lu found himself quite deflated by Lu Youxi’s remarks.

It made him feel like he was being petty.

After moping for a while, Old Master Lu finally said, "I heard your grandparents were not nice to you growing up?"

This was common knowledge at their school.

So there was no need to agonize over whether Old Master Lu had heard it through the grapevine or uncovered it through investigation.

Lu Youxi admitted frankly, "Yes, my grandparents favored boys over girls, especially my cousin Lu Youbang over me."

"But because they liked my uncle, Lu Zhenjia, more and thought my father was too honest and as the eldest son in the family, no matter how poorly they treated him, he was obligated to support them. My father is poor at speaking and not as good at sweet-talking as my uncle."

"As a result, they also favored Lu Youbang more, and even in his presence, despite their preference for boys, my brother had to stand back."

"Even as the less favored girl, my cousin Lu Youzhen was favored a bit more than I was," Lu Youxi stated truthfully.

"Why don’t you share what you know, and I’ll fill in the blanks?" Lu Youxi suggested.

Otherwise, explaining everything would be too much of a hassle.

Old Master Lu: "..."

You don’t seem to mind me poking around at all.

"Actually, there wasn’t anything in particular I needed to ask," Old Master Lu said.

It wasn’t difficult to look into Lu Youxi’s affairs; nothing was deeply hidden.

"I also heard that you made your first pot of gold through the stock market," Old Master Lu said with keen eyes. "How were you so sure the stock you bought would make that much?"

"Based on the returns of that stock at the time, your capital must have been all the money you had. The living allowance provided by your family, plus the scholarship money," Old Master Lu observed Lu Youxi as if no one could lie under his gaze.

"Weren’t you afraid of losing all your capital?" Old Master Lu looked intently at Lu Youxi.

Lu Youxi nodded, "I was afraid."

"Then why did you dare to do it?" Old Master Lu raised an eyebrow.

"I’m bold," Lu Youxi declared.

Of course, she wouldn’t mention she had memories from a past life and knew what to buy would surely make money.

"I can’t claim to have deep research on the stock market," Lu Youxi modestly stated for once.

Old Master Lu didn’t buy her modesty, snorting coldly, "There’s no need for modesty. I know you’ve led classmates in stock trading and helped them make money. Your analysis published on the stock forums was also quite insightful."

"Even Shen Changze refers to you as ’dad,’" Old Master Lu said, his lips twitching slightly.

Lu Youxi hadn’t expected Old Master Lu to know even this. "And you said you looked into me just a little, yet you know even about this."

Old Master Lu truly had his patience tested by Lu Youxi that evening.

Just look at that expression on Lu Youxi’s face!

Written all over it was "he’s lying to her."

Ever since Zhou Shuyan grew up, he never felt annoyed by a mischievous child again.

Back when Zhou Shuyan was little, he was such a child himself.

He was not just lifting tiles off rooftops but also was very good at arguing in a way that was irrefutable and easily riled others.

He never imagined he would experience this again with Lu Youxi.

Old Master Lu truly never foresaw he would feel this way after so many years.

Yet, Old Master Lu couldn’t find it in him to get angry at Lu Youxi.

Perhaps it was because Lu Youxi reminded him of Zhou Shuyan’s childhood, reviving that familiar feeling.

Or perhaps it was because Lu Youxi’s mischief wasn’t the repulsive kind.

It left you speechless at the moment, but you couldn’t help finding it amusing afterward.

"This information is common knowledge that doesn’t require investigation; even Shen Changze’s father knows it!" Old Master Lu said irritably.

Lu Youxi’s eyes lit up, eagerly gossiping as though she couldn’t resist a good spectacle, "So did Shen Changze get a beating?"

Old Master Lu laughed coldly, "You even realize that if Shen Changze’s father found out, he’d get a beating?" freēwēbnovel.com

Lu Youxi smiled embarrassingly, "I could guess that for someone of Shen Changze father’s age and authority as head of a family, even if he isn’t excessively conservative, he likely wouldn’t approve of his son casually acknowledging someone else as ’father,’ especially not a young girl like me, who’s even younger than Shen Changze—it’s absurd."

"So you did it anyway?" Old Master Lu thought to himself that Lu Youxi understood all this.

"It was because Shen Changze had annoyed me at the start, and we made a bet. I won in the end, and I said it in passing. I didn’t expect him to actually keep his promise. He’s a good kid," Lu Youxi explained.

Old Master Lu’s lips twitched.

So now you really think of yourself as Shen Changze’s father.

And "a good kid"?

"However, while I suspected Shen Changze’s father would not be happy upon finding out, I thought Shen Changze wouldn’t let his father know," Lu Youxi added, "Initially, we were just anonymous on the stock forum, and only a few of us were privy to this. And I’m certain none of us would spill the beans."

"After all, it’s just a joke between friends, you can’t seriously let a friend lose face in front of others," Lu Youxi said, "So, how exactly did Shen Changze’s father find out?"

Old Master Lu’s lips twitched again as he spoke, "Shen Changze was on the stock forum in his company’s office; he left for a bit without closing the browser, and it just so happened his father stepped into his office at that time, and it just so happened he saw the browser open to the forum where he’s calling you ’dad.’"

Lu Youxi: "..."

That Shen Changze really isn’t careful.

"So, he did get a beating?" Lu Youxi asked.

Old Master Lu: "..."

I advise you to be kind.

"He did get a beating," Old Master Lu said, "But it seems like you’re missing the point."

"Shen Changze’s actual father now knows he’s acknowledged another father, and now he also knows this ’father’ is Zhou Shuyan’s wife. Aren’t you afraid he’ll come for you?"

"This is nothing," Lu Youxi perked up upon hearing this, evidently not the least bit worried.

Old Master Lu: "..."
