Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 456: Retribution without fail

Fu Jingtian slightly smiled and didn’t say much more to Guo Kun.

Guo Kun’s expression remained unchanged, but after silently drinking a cup of tea, he quietly left the Fu Family’s banquet.

With such events happening tonight, everyone present, wanting to please the Fu Family and the Lu Family, would likely deliberately keep their distance from him.

There was no point in him staying any longer. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Guo Kun’s silent departure wouldn’t affect the others’ enthusiasm for attending the banquet.

In front of super-rich families like the Fu Family and the Lu Family, a newly risen upstart like the Guo Family was insignificant.

After dealing with Han Xi, Xia Mian’s face did not show the slightest hint of pride.

She merely sighed, stating that karma had come full circle, and retribution was unavoidable.

Originally, if Han Xi had lived low-key, avoiding her sight, Xia Mian wouldn’t have gone to great lengths to drag Han Xi out.

Unfortunately, Han Xi was not honest and insisted on bringing her bad luck.

"Miss Xia, long time no see." Fu Jingtian smiled at Xia Mian, "Care to sit upstairs?"

Since Xia Mian’s issues had been resolved, Fu Jingtian once again issued an invitation to Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan.

Xia Mian nodded and went upstairs to the second floor of the Fu Family villa with Lu Zechuan in hand.

Initially, the crowd in the hall had some apprehensions towards Xia Mian, but upon seeing the Fu Family’s attitude, they began recalculating in their minds.

Even the formidable Fu Family showed such respect towards Xia Mian, not daring to show the slightest neglect. The smaller families dared not show any disrespect towards Xia Mian, lest they be soon blacklisted by the two families.

Everyone had their calculations, and after seeing how the Fu Family and the Lu Family treated Xia Mian, they secretly resolved to clear those previously heard rumors and gossip from their minds.

Xia Mian could not be offended, even saying something bad about her behind her back might bring her to the doorstep!

In the second-floor study of the Fu Family, Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan sat on a comfortable leather sofa with premium white tea placed before them.

"Miss Xia, the rumors started with Han Xi, but if no one had fueled them, they wouldn’t have evolved into what they are now." Fu Jingtian spoke with a grave expression, "You’re not just being targeted by Han Xi alone."

Xia Mian reached for the teacup in front of her and took a gentle sip, "We’ll slowly uncover those fueling the fire."

She mainly wanted to teach Han Xi a lesson upon hearing her name.

Back then, Han Xi sneakily hid away, but Han Xi didn’t have much sense, thinking she could turn the situation around by associating with some nouveau riche and jumping out to provoke her?

Xia Mian’s eyes lightly lowered; now that she’s jumped out, perhaps she shouldn’t continue jumping anymore.

Xia Mian’s fingers lightly tapped the tea table, the deep tapping sound was particularly clear in the quiet study.

Fu Jingtian glanced at Lu Zechuan and saw he was also leisurely drinking tea, amiably commenting, "Good tea!"

Fu Jingtian was somewhat puzzled by the two of them.

They had made such a fuss to take down that woman, yet now, when he voiced his opinion, they seemed disinclined to pursue those who fueled the fire?

"The law doesn’t blame the masses. Besides, I’m not the law." Xia Mian said calmly, "Moreover, the slanderers will receive their due punishment. Deterring one as a warning to others, those who fueled the fire shouldn’t dare cause trouble again."

Fu Jingtian nodded in agreement.

Xia Mian was capable, yet she didn’t rely on her abilities to act recklessly.

"There are many envious of our business." Fu Jingtian said in a low voice, "Recently, many have approached me, wanting a share."

Xia Mian faintly smiled, "Our business, besides the four families, will not admit anyone else."

Envious? Envy is useless.

Fu Jingtian nodded, "I will handle it well."

Xia Mian stood up, "Since there’s envy, someone might have thoughts they shouldn’t. Ji Chenggong already had an incident once, you should also be careful."

Fu Jingtian nodded.

Ji Chenggong’s disappearance, later being found by Xia Mian, remaining unconscious... he had heard Ji Hua mention it once or twice.

At the time, he didn’t think much, assuming Ji Chenggong had encountered something sinister.

Now it seems, it wasn’t something sinister, but there were too many envious people.

"It’s getting late, Lu Zechuan and I won’t disturb you further." Xia Mian smiled slightly, "Goodbye."

Fu Jingtian sent Lu Zechuan and Xia Mian downstairs and personally saw them into the car before returning to the banquet.

Upon returning to the banquet, Fu Jingtian merely exchanged a few words with the guests before leaving the scene again.

Some perceptive ones quickly realized that the Fu Family’s banquet was not just a simple party but more like an event set up in support of Xia Mian.

...

After Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan left the Fu Family, their car traveled a distance before Lu Zechuan received a call from the hospital’s bodyguard.

Lu Zeming had woken up.

Lu Zechuan acknowledged with a sound and hung up the phone.

"I’m going to the hospital." Lu Zechuan said softly.

"Okay." Xia Mian replied.

"I’ll take you back first." Lu Zechuan continued in his magnetic voice.

Xia Mian responded once more.

As for how Lu Zechuan handled matters concerning Lu Zhenhua’s family, she didn’t want to get involved.

Lu Zechuan took Xia Mian back to the Lu Family, then headed to the hospital.

Meanwhile, Guo Kun, after leaving the Fu Family, immediately sent someone to investigate Han Xi’s background.

After probing, he uncovered all of Han Xi’s unsavory past!

Originally, Guo Kun thought he had found his sweetheart, but unexpectedly, he had picked up a scandalous woman!

Guo Kun’s face darkened as he recalled Xia Mian’s words at the Fu Family banquet: "The child isn’t yours..."

The child isn’t his...

Guo Kun squinted his eyes, thinking back to his experiences with Han Xi.

It seemed that within a week of being with him, Han Xi exhibited signs of pregnancy.

But, if it were his child, Han Xi wouldn’t show pregnancy symptoms until a month after they’d been intimate.

At the time, overwhelmed by the joy of becoming a father, he didn’t contemplate these details.

Now it seemed, Han Xi had indeed made a fool of him, taking him as an unwitting victim!

Guo Kun originally harbored some affection towards Han Xi, but after piecing together these details, he no longer felt the slightest attachment.

Even though she had a face identical to his first love, Han Xi was not his first love after all.

His feelings for Han Xi were merely seeking a substitute.

Now, with this substitute being so disgraceful, tainting the image of his beloved in his mind, his disgust towards Han Xi skyrocketed.

Just then, Guo Kun’s phone rang, and upon looking down, he saw it was Han Xi calling.

Without needing to answer, Guo Kun knew what Han Xi was calling about.

Almost without thinking, Guo Kun hung up Han Xi’s call.
