Chapter 345: 097: Bet, Superiority Complex_4

This sponsorship has lasted for decades.

As soon as one batch of students graduated, they’d start with the next.

The support was almost unending.

But even so, fate still didn’t favor them.

Upon hearing this, Grandma Lu also felt distressed, followed by a sigh, and then instructed, "When Aunt Fang comes over this time, try not to mention anything about Qiushui."

"Mm," Bai Lu nodded slightly, "I know."

After finishing her sentence, Bai Lu continued, "By the way, Mom, is Hongyu coming over with her this time?"

Since Grandma Lu and Fang Youling had a good relationship, Bai Lu also had an okay relationship with Fang Hongyu.

Grandma Lu shook her head, "She didn’t come."

"Just Aunt Fang by herself?"

"Mm."

Bai Lu narrowed her eyes, "After all these years, is Hongyu still avoiding suspicion?" Although Fang Hongyu was nominally Fang Youling’s niece, in reality, she was almost like the adopted daughter of the Tang Family. The biggest difference between her and an adopted daughter was that an adopted daughter would call Fang Youling "Mom," while she called her Aunt.

If she, being an adopted daughter, were to get involved in Tang Qiushui’s affairs, it would inevitably raise suspicions of underhanded dealings.

So.

Over the years, Fang Hongyu never got involved in this matter.

Bai Lu didn’t expect that now, even with Shaowei’s health issues, Hongyu still hadn’t intervened.

Speaking of Fang Hongyu, a hint of displeasure passed through Grandma Lu’s eyes, "It’s better for her to avoid creating suspicion a little."

For some reason, Grandma Lu just couldn’t bring herself to like Fang Hongyu.

From the very first day Fang Youling brought her from the Fang Family, she found Fang Hongyu to be an eyesore.

But after all, Fang Hongyu was Fang Youling’s biological niece, and the girl had no parents. If Aunt Fang didn’t take care of her, then she would have to enter an orphanage!

As an outsider, Grandma Lu couldn’t suggest that Fang Youling neglect Fang Hongyu.

Bai Lu caught the underlying meaning in Grandma Lu’s words and narrowed her eyes, "Mom, you can’t possibly suspect that Hongyu has something to do with... "

At this point, Bai Lu hesitated, then said, "has a connection, right?"

Grandma Lu didn’t answer.

Bai Lu continued, "To be honest, Hongyu doesn’t seem like that kind of person."

During her interaction with Fang Hongyu, Bai Lu found that Hongyu was a very emotional person.

Kind-hearted and with proper values.

She even couldn’t bear to step on an ant on the road—how could such a kind person do something as heinous as carelessly losing her own cousin?

Bai Lu didn’t know why her mother-in-law thought so poorly of Fang Hongyu.

Upon hearing this, Grandma Lu slightly frowned, "If she doesn’t seem like that kind of person, what sort of person does she seem like? I guess Qiushui was most likely lost by her!"

Of course.

The last sentence was spoken in anger.

After all, she had no evidence, and moreover, there were surveillance cameras that could prove that on the day of Qiushui’s incident, Fang Hongyu didn’t leave the school at all.

Grandma Lu just couldn’t stand seeing Bai Lu speaking up for Fang Hongyu.

Her daughter-in-law,

was simply too naïvely sweet.

Luckily, the Lu Family had good family values, and her son had lived chastely all these years; otherwise, Bai Lu wouldn’t even know how the various mistresses and lovers would have played her for a fool.

"Mom, how can you casually suspect people like this? It’s so impolite!" said Bai Lu helplessly.

Grandma Lu snorted and continued to look at Bai Lu, "And you casually doubting Xiao Wu is polite?"

Do not do unto others what you do not want done unto yourself?

Bai Lu pursed her lips, "Mom, that’s a different matter."

"What different matter?" Grandma Lu looked at Bai Lu, "You’ve been saying Xiao Wu has ulterior motives for treating me well, but now I’m just an old lady with nothing! Could it be that Xiao Wu is after my age? Or maybe she’s after having a hypocritical daughter-in-law with double standards?"

Bai Lu: "..." Grandma Lu’s sharp tongue was unbeatable; she simply couldn’t win the argument.

After a moment, Bai Lu followed up, "Mom, don’t get so agitated, I’m just analyzing based on the actual situation. You might not have interacted with Hongyu, so you don’t know her character. You tell me, could someone who wouldn’t even dare to step on an ant be so malicious as to lose her own cousin?"

"Oh," Grandma Lu turned her head to look at Bai Lu, "have you installed surveillance on Fang Hongyu?"

Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "No, I haven’t."

"If that’s the case, how do you know she wouldn’t dare to step on an ant?" Grandma Lu asked in return.

Bai Lu was dumbfounded.

All these years she had been married into the Lu Family, how had she not realized her mother-in-law was such a nitpicker?

And a nitpicker of the highest degree, at that!

Bai Lu continued, "I just feel like she’s not that kind of person..."

Your feelings count for what? If your feelings were right, what need would there be for a police department? You might as well be hired to solve cases!" retorted Grandma Lu.
