Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 856 - 853: She Is My Daughter, My Biological Daughter

"The Emperor you see now hardly resembles its former self, but that doesn’t mean nobody managed this aspect; Old Master Xiao has always overseen it, never through anyone else’s hands."

Hearing this, Lu Jinyang seemed to anticipate what he was about to say next. He beckoned Peng Yi, instructing him to take the people away. Peng Yi quickly glanced at Xiao Yiting, nodded, and led the people out, shutting the door behind them.

"Xiao Yiting, let’s lay it all out. I’m asking you directly: what exactly has Old Master Xiao been up to over the years? Why are there so many videos?"

Xiao Yiting paused at Lu Jinyang’s words, then nodded appreciatively, "Not bad, you truly are the Xiao Family’s son-in-law. You must have gotten your hands on that USB drive, right?"

Lu Jinyang’s gaze scanned him coldly, "If it weren’t for Xiao Qing, I’d really prefer not to have anything to do with your Xiao Family. Since you know about the USB drive, then you should also know what’s common within it?"

He didn’t believe Xiao Yiting would know about the USB drive but not its contents. If he knew everything, he would certainly know about the image editing. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Looking into those cold, deep eyes, Xiao Yiting suddenly laughed, "Lu Jinyang, if it weren’t for our identities getting in the way, I think we could have been friends across generations."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jinyang didn’t even spare him a glance.

"The USB drive was originally intended for Old Master Xiao. I tampered with every video, but before I could hand it to him, Fan Min accidentally took it, and somehow it ended up with Xiao Sewei."

"I got it from Tan Biyang."

Xiao Yiting lowered his head, paused in silence, and then continued, "After Xiao Sewei watched the contents, she stored the USB drive with Tan Biyang, likely in search of an alliance like Fan Min did. However, she didn’t realize that Tan Biyang didn’t watch the videos and later became her opponent."

Alliance?

Lu Jinyang’s brows furrowed tightly.

Oh right, he recalled that the videos featured Fan Min, Xiao Sewei, Xiao Qing, Tan Biyang among others. If they didn’t recognize the image editing, they would mistake themselves as the focal point, wrongly believing they were coerced into making these videos.

But this wasn’t the answer he wanted; he simply wanted to know why he took Xiao Qing away—or rather, Xiao Anze. He voiced the doubts in his mind. Yet, what Xiao Yiting said next stunned him. Because he said:

"I deliberately took Xiao Qing away."

"You...!"

"Lu Jinyang, listen to me. Given Old Master Xiao’s behavior, do you think Xiao Qing would fare better after leaving? At least when she’s with you, she’s still an innocent child."

Lu Jinyang’s eyes shimmered with a cold light, "What do you mean?"

Perhaps Xiao Yiting was feeling a bit weary from sitting. He leaned back against the wall, sighing once more. "Sewei was already drugged and filmed by Old Master Xiao’s people while unaware; she didn’t even know she’d been filmed until she dated her first boyfriend..."

Before Xiao Yiting could finish, Lu Jinyang interrupted him, "Xiao Yiting, aside from matters concerning Xiao Qing, I don’t want to hear anything else."

"But these matters..."

"Peng Yi!"

With that command, the door opened, and Peng Yi walked in.
