At Modu University, beneath the girls' dormitory building.
A pink Lamborghini, like a proud princess, was parked by the roadside.
Inside the car, Lu Xuan was idly tapping the steering wheel with her slender, fair fingers.
On her delicate and lovely face, there was a hint of contemplation and shrewdness that was highly unsuited to her age.
In her mind, the scene that had unfolded in the school exhibition hall a few days prior was replaying repeatedly.
Brother... he had completely subdued that seemingly arrogant fellow with just a single glance!
That nonchalant, crushing demeanor!
That absolute dominance that controlled everything!
It was... incredibly handsome, making her little heart, already full of admiration and attachment for her brother, almost melt on the spot!
However... after the initial excitement and adoration, a hint of something amiss was keenly detected in Lu Xuan's calculating little mind.
"That's not right..."
She stopped swinging her little legs, and a sharp glint flashed in her beautiful eyes!
"With Brother's current strength and domineering personality, wouldn't it be simpler to just slap that ignorant fellow to death?
"Why bother playing such a boring cat-and-mouse game with him?"
"And even deliberately snatch that shabby, black piece of wood right in front of him?"
"There's definitely something fishy going on here!"
The more Lu Xuan thought about it, the more she felt that this matter was full of peculiarities.
Her little heart, which was intensely curious and possessive about anything concerning her brother, was completely ignited at this moment!
"No! I must find out!"
"Any factor that could pose a threat to Brother!"
"Must be completely, thoroughly, nipped in the bud by me!"
"Any new toy Brother is interested in must also undergo strict scrutiny from me, his good sister!"
Thinking this, Lu Xuan no longer hesitated in the slightest!
She immediately mobilized the vast intelligence network of the Lu Family and began a thorough investigation into Ling Tian, this seemingly unremarkable university student!
The efficiency and power of the Lu Family's intelligence network far exceeded ordinary people's imagination.
Especially when it was an order given by Lu Xuan herself!
Soon, a detailed report on all of Ling Tian's recent whereabouts and encounters was silently sent to Lu Xuan's phone.
And the information within it did not disappoint her.
Looking at the report's description of Ling Tian actively seeking out the Shen Family, being intercepted by Brother, even being treated as a charlatan, and finally being swept out by the Shen Family.
A look of "just as I thought" appeared on her cute little face.
"Sure enough, Brother made his move again!"
"I knew Brother is the most, most amazing!"
"But..."
Lu Xuan's gaze fell on the page about "Shen Ning霜" in the report.
Especially when she saw that it was her own Brother who, acting as a "savior," had cured the "incurable illness" of the Shen Family's eldest Young Lady.
And even conveniently resolved all of the Shen Family's crises... a flash of understanding instantly appeared in her beautiful eyes!
"Hmph! I knew it! It's that old 'hero saves the beauty' cliché again!"
"Hmph hmph! Shen Family? Shen Ning霜?"
"Another candidate for sister-in-law chosen by Brother?"
"No! I have to go meet her myself!"
"To get a good look at what she's truly made of, and if she's worthy of my brilliant and perfect Brother!"
...After making up her mind, Lu Xuan immediately began to plan her "First Meeting with the New Sister-in-Law" drama.
However, she had a change of heart.
If she just rushed over by herself, it would be too deliberate.
What if she didn't get any information about the other party and instead was manipulated by Shen Ning霜?
No, no!
She had to find a "wingman"!
And as for the candidate for this "best wingman"... a perfect choice immediately popped into Lu Xuan's mind: someone as simple as a blank sheet of paper, as easy to trick as a little white rabbit!
A sweet, devilish smile appeared on her face!
She took out her phone and, knowing the number by heart, dialed Xia Qinghe's number.
On the other end of the line, Xia Qinghe's soft voice, tinged with a hint of flattery, immediately came through.
"Hello? Is that Xuan'er? Is something wrong?"
Lu Xuan immediately adopted an innocent tone, her voice as sweet as honey!
"Oh my! Senior Sister Qing He! It's me!"
"It's like this, my Brother went to treat a sick older sister a few days ago."
"I wanted to represent Brother and visit that older sister again, to follow up! And also to send some tonics on behalf of Brother, to express the sincerity of our Lu Family."
"Senior Sister, are you free now? Can you accompany me? Please, please?"
She said all this so logically and reasonably!
She perfectly, thoroughly, portrayed the image of an "understanding good sister" who wanted to share her Brother's burdens!
Xia Qinghe on the other end of the phone was no match for a little devil of Lu Xuan's caliber!
After hearing Lu Xuan's "sincere" request, she agreed almost without thinking!
"Okay, Xuan'er!"
"I'll go with you!"
In her opinion, this was not only an opportunity to help Xuan'er, but also an excellent chance to share the burdens of Brother Lu Cheng!
How could she possibly refuse?
...Meanwhile, at the Gu Family's residence.
Ye Shuying was sitting beside Gu Qingcheng, elegantly brewing a cup of red date tea to nourish blood and calm the spirit.
As Lu Cheng's most capable and trusted private assistant, her conduct had long been imprinted with Lu Cheng's style.
Efficient, precise, and absolutely loyal to Lu Cheng himself without reservation.
Of course, her deep friendship with Gu Qingcheng had also been perfectly preserved.
At this moment, looking at Gu Qingcheng's face, which appeared even more languid due to pregnancy, yet still couldn't hide her stunning beauty.
A complex emotion, mixed with loyalty and concern, flashed in her clear eyes.
After some seemingly casual small talk, Ye Shuying still, as if unintentionally, revealed a piece of news to her good friend that she deemed "necessary" for her to know in advance:
"Oh, by the way, Qingcheng."
"Speaking of which, it's really strange."
"Young Master Lu seems to be particularly interested in that Shen Corporation recently."
She paused, then added a sentence, highlighting the key information.
"I heard from my subordinates... it seems Young Master Lu has also sent people multiple times to visit the Shen Family's Young Lady, Shen Ning霜."
"I wonder... what for."
