Female lead’s Delusion of Starting Over - Chapter 95

Chapter 95: A Frightening Confrontation?

“Darling, could you pass me the phone?” Lu Li asked with a gentle smile, gazing at Cao Yingying whose cheeks were still flushed with color. “What’s wrong? Show that same energy you had when you barged into my room last night! You’ve got to stand up for yourself!”

“Don’t say that, don’t you dare!” Cao Yingying, blushing with embarrassment and annoyance, glared at Lu Li, her eyes shimmering with modest shyness.

“Hahahaha, what’s there to be shy about? Grandfather even encouraged us to work hard to give him a great-grandchild soon!” The elder was indeed too cheerful, like a child at heart. His words made everyone feel at ease, though sometimes they were embarrassingly frank. But it was all good-natured; if anyone else had said those words, they wouldn’t have gotten away with it around Lu Li.

“Um… go and answer your phone!” Cao Yingying, pulling the phone from Lu Li’s pocket, connected the call and placed it to his ear while turning her head away.

“Lu Brother, you’re out flirting again!!!” Before Lu Li could respond, an exasperated and slightly aggrieved voice came through the phone. It was Chen Xiaoyi’s voice. Lu Li, with a knowing smile, glanced at Cao Yingying, who was eavesdropping, and replied: “Absolutely! Your Yingying is right here beside me. But is Yingying a flower or a weed?”

He misunderstood Chen Xiaoyi’s words, thinking she was just feeling jealous because he had spent some extra time with Mr. Cao today.

Cao Yingying, holding the phone to Lu Li’s ear and catching his gaze, gave him an annoyed look.

“It’s not about Sister Yingying…” Chen Xiaoyi’s voice was laced with jealousy, which Lu Li could sense even through the phone.

“Hmm?”

“A woman came to our house claiming to be your woman and wanted to come in. The security has just informed me.” Chen Xiaoyi responded, with You Meng’s precedent in mind; she wouldn’t let anyone in without Lu Li’s approval. Last time, You Meng was sent by that scoundrel Ye Chen and turned traitor, which put her in danger. Learning from that, Chen Xiaoyi was being cautious and needed to confirm with Lu Li first.

“She said she’s my woman? What’s her name?” Lu Li frowned, certain that his women were only Chen Xiaoyi and Cao Yingying.

Chen Xiaoyi was calling him, and Cao Yingying was holding his phone, so there couldn’t be any confusion there.

“She didn’t give her name!” Chen Xiaoyi’s tone became serious after detecting Lu Li’s unusual demeanor.

“Tell the security… no, have You Meng detain that woman; lock her up until I return. I don’t have any other women!” Lu Li was sure; he never had a habit that could lead to such a mistake. Now, a woman was claiming to be his at his doorstep.

“Master brother, don’t worry, I’ll capture that woman immediately.” You Meng’s voice came through the phone, indicating she was right beside Chen Xiaoyi.

“Alright, I’m coming back now!”

Lu Li’s expression turned serious as he sped up the car.

“What’s the matter?” Cao Yingying, seeing Lu Li’s changed expression and after hanging up, asked worriedly.

“Did something happen?”

“A woman claiming to be mine has shown up at our house.” Lu Li’s face was grim: “Don’t ask; I’m certain, besides you, I have no other women. This person is likely sent by someone to cause trouble.”

“…” Cao Yingying didn’t even ask. She knew her man well; if he were to stray, he’d be straightforward about it. A sharp look flashed in her eyes; it might indeed be Ye Chen’s doing, sending someone to disrupt their relationship.

Placing her hands over Lu Li’s on the steering wheel, Cao Yingying looked at him with firm, soft eyes.

Lu Li’s heart skipped a beat, touched by her unconditional trust. He wouldn’t get upset even if doubted. The worst Cao Yingying might do, like Chen Xiaoyi, was to pout and playfully scold him for being a flirt, having accepted so much already. But he hadn’t expected such unwavering faith from her.

Truly, the favor of a beautiful woman was a heavy burden.

Returning the firm grip, he nodded solemnly at her.

They rushed back to the Lu family estate, attracting the watchful eyes of the security guards as they entered.

The guards marveled. The young master, accompanied by Mrs. Lu, had left earlier, a common occurrence. However, shortly after, a beautiful woman, though slightly older than the young master, arrived claiming to be the young master’s woman. This could be a classic case of a love triangle.

Before long, You Meng, in her combat gear, stepped out, exuding a fierce aura. She quickly subdued the suspected mistress and tied her up. Was this the feared confrontation everyone talked about? The guards were terrified!

They knew You Meng was formidable, but they hadn’t expected her to be this powerful. She dislocated the woman’s arm in a few swift moves.

The entire operation unfolded so quickly, the guards could barely keep up. The young master truly lived up to his title as the heir of the Lu family. Such formidable women were at his beck and call, handling conflicts directly.

Chen Ya, enduring the pain in her arm, stared blankly at the two women before her.

One was Chen Xiaoyi, who had managed to stay by Lu Li’s side in this lifetime and gained his deep trust. The other, surprisingly, was You Meng! In her previous life, You Meng was still working for that scoundrel nephew of hers! It wasn’t until after Lu Li’s death by Ye Chen’s hands that she realized Lu Li was the man she had been searching for.

If it hadn’t been for You Meng’s surprise attack on Ye Chen, their final showdown wouldn’t have been so easy.

But why, in this life, had she found Lu Li so early?

Could this also be a result of the butterfly effect?

“Chen Ya, the young mistress of the Chen family from Modu, the future head of the family, Ye Chen’s aunt, if I’m not mistaken!” You Meng stood coldly in front of Chen Ya, her tone icy.

Though she appeared vulnerable to Lu Li, Cao Yingying, and Chen Xiaoyi, one shouldn’t forget she was the second-best assassin in the Celestial Dragon organization after Ye Chen!

She could afford to be soft and gentle to earn her redemption in Lu Li’s eyes, but that didn’t mean she’d treat Lu Li’s enemies the same.

Any threat to Lu Li, she would eliminate.
