The President Made Me Trend - Chapter 278 - Won't Be Bullied

“Alright, Qinghuan, don’t worry. I’ll definitely find someone to help investigate this matter.” The fact that the identity of the poisoner hadn’t been uncovered left Huo-Jie uneasy for a long time.

“Thank you, Huo-Jie.” She no longer wanted to sneak around every time she left the house and hoped to bring the guilty party to justice.

“We’re family, Qinghuan, no need to be so formal with me.” Huo-Jie sighed, then asked thoughtfully, “How’s Mr. Lu doing lately? I’ve seen the news. It’s clear that Old Master Lu is putting on a show for you, making such a big deal of promoting Lu Xuan. It’s rather heartless, considering they’re both his sons.”

“This is our family matter, Huo-Jie, you don’t need to worry about it. No matter what, I believe that truth will prevail. Those who do evil will eventually face retribution.”

Mo Qinghuan knew Huo-Jie was concerned for her, and she appreciated the sentiment. But she understood that no amount of concern from others would change the fact that Father Lu was determined to groom Lu Xuan. After all, Lu Group was Father Lu’s creation, and who would dare defy his decisions?

Hearing Mo Qinghuan’s words, Huo-Jie realized she might have overstepped and quickly apologized, “Sorry, Qinghuan, I shouldn’t have asked so much. Leave the private investigator matter to me. You and Mr. Lu should rest well for now. The company will activate the public relations department if necessary.”

“Alright.”

After hanging up with Huo-Jie, Mo Qinghuan had just relaxed when Lu Yucheng’s voice suddenly came from outside the door, “Are you planning to hire a private investigator to find the real culprit behind the poisoning?”

He knew very well that Lu Xuan was the most likely suspect, and it was because of this incident that Lu Yucheng had deliberately suppressed Lu Xuan’s company. But now, Lu Xuan had completely won Father Lu’s trust, making it extremely difficult to find any evidence against him. Lu Yucheng also feared that Mo Qinghuan’s actions might endanger her safety if they reached Lu Xuan’s ears.

So he advised, “Hasn’t the police already started investigating this case? Let’s wait patiently for a while. Maybe the police have already found a suspect and are investigating secretly.”

“It’s been over three months. If the police had any leads, they would have informed me by now. I’ve lost my patience.” Mo Qinghuan couldn’t understand why Lu Yucheng was opposing her plan. He had always supported her in everything she did.

Yet this time, Lu Yucheng’s reaction puzzled Mo Qinghuan. He continued to persuade, “Even if the police haven’t found anything, you can use this time to rest at home. Why rush to uncover the culprit’s identity?”

“Yucheng, what’s gotten into you today? Isn’t finding out the culprit’s identity what you want? I’m not someone who can be easily bullied. No matter what, I must find out who that person is and why they have such a grudge against me that they want me dead.”

For over three months, Mo Qinghuan had been living under constant surveillance, with bodyguards accompanying her whenever she went out and every dish in the Lu family home needing to be tested. She had had enough of this life, and the person responsible for her plight was the mastermind behind the poisoning. No matter what, Mo Qinghuan was determined to uncover the culprit and ensure they faced the full force of the law.

Seeing Mo Qinghuan’s resolve and her refusal to accept Lu Yucheng’s suggestion, Lu Yucheng, in a moment of urgency, blurted out, “Then let me handle the investigation. You’re a public figure, and if word gets out that you’ve hired a private detective, it could lead to all sorts of unfounded rumors. I’m your husband; it’s my duty to protect you. I’ll uncover the identity of the perpetrator, alright?”

“Yucheng, I know you’re worried about me, but with everything that’s been happening at home, it’s all weighing on your shoulders. I can’t let you worry about me any more.”

She cupped Lu Yucheng’s face, noticing how he had lost weight in just a few days. Despite his efforts to appear in good spirits to prevent Mo Qinghuan from worrying, she was aware of his sleepless nights spent in the study. She had noticed this small habit but chose not to reveal it, respecting his need to maintain his masculine pride. Whenever Lu Yucheng went to the study at night, she would sit by the bed, watching the sun slowly rise.

Mo Qinghuan wanted to help Lu Yucheng regain Father Lu’s trust, but first, she had to solve the challenges she faced. Only then could she move freely and find Lu Xuan’s weaknesses, bringing everything back to how it was.

With a sigh, Lu Yucheng looked at Mo Qinghuan, showing vulnerability for the first time, and asked, “Qinghuan, do you regret marrying me? On our wedding day, I promised in front of friends and family that I would ensure you live a life free of worries. But the current difficulties have blocked my path to fulfilling that promise. Do you regret it?”

“Silly, meeting you is the luckiest thing that’s ever happened to me. Why would I doubt my luck just because of a few small challenges?” Mo Qinghuan felt a deep compassion for Lu Yucheng. She had often wondered if he regretted marrying her.

Since she entered the Lu family, she hadn’t gained Father Lu’s approval. After Lu Xuan appeared, her presence led to a physical altercation between the two outside the Lu family home, causing Father Lu to lose patience with Lu Yucheng, which had led to the current situation.

Sensing Mo Qinghuan’s hesitation, Lu Yucheng embraced her and whispered in her ear, “You are the wife I’ve chosen, and no matter how harsh life’s tests may be, I will never let go of your hand. Qinghuan, I promise to make you happy. Give me some time to prove it, okay?”

“Okay.” She nodded, and they leaned on each other as the sunset slowly descended, but their love remained steadfast, unaffected by the trials they faced.

That evening, the family of three enjoyed a cheerful dinner together. Little Bun sang a song he had learned at kindergarten, oblivious to the adults’ worries. Seeing the little one so bright and adorable, Lu Yucheng’s troubles seemed to fade away.

Little did he know, Mo Qinghuan had orchestrated it all. After the bodyguards brought Little Bun home, Mo Qinghuan took him aside and whispered, “Little Bun, be good. Your brother’s been feeling down lately. Do you want to cheer him up?”

“I do.” The little one nodded vigorously, his demeanor like a little man, which filled Mo Qinghuan with pride.

Hugging him close, Mo Qinghuan smiled and continued, “Then sing the song you learned today for your brother, okay? He loves Little Bun, and seeing your wonderful performance will surely make him happy.”

“I’ll do whatever you say. Just tell me what to do.” The little one’s innocent face lit up with a mischievous grin.
