88: Chapter 88 A Chaotic Situation
This sound made everyone present shudder involuntarily.
If not for Lin Xiao's prior warning, perhaps no one would have thought of anything.
But with that preconceived notion already in place, this sound seemed to confirm the suspicion.
"Principal Lu, actually you don't need to go through all that trouble... Hand over your phone." Lin Xiao reached out his hand.
At this moment, Principal Lu Guodong could no longer think calmly; under the barrage of bombshells, he subconsciously trusted Lin Xiao, the whistleblower.
After handing over the phone, he watched as Lin Xiao tapped on it repeatedly.
When it was returned, some unsightly images had already appeared on the screen.
That familiar voice also rang out right on cue.
In it, the voice was at times coquettish, at times pained, and at times blissful.
Even without looking at the screen, one could easily imagine those scenes playing out.
"A-Xiao, this..." Lin Wanwan seemed to have realized something, her cheeks flushing red with embarrassment.
Lin Xiao only then remembered that Lin Wanwan was still there, and quickly went over to cover her ears.
"Sister, don't listen to these messy things."
"..." Lin Wanwan didn't refuse, simply letting Lin Xiao cover them.
She had also guessed what it was, but she hadn't expected Lin Xiao to be so incredibly capable.
Principal Lu Guodong looked at the screen, his eyes growing redder and redder.
As if to verify something, he dialed his wife's number once again.
Sure enough, inside the video on the phone, his wife's ringtone began to play.
It wasn't a fake; it was all real!
"That 'Old Wang' next door to your house has long had his eye on your wife. He hacked into your home security camera and observed your wife's every move every day. However, he probably didn't expect that with his level of skill, while hacking others, he also exposed his own home network, making it very easy to counter-hack." Lin Xiao explained patiently.
Principal Lu Guodong smashed the phone onto the ground. "Outrageous, absolutely outrageous! I feed her and pamper her every day, and she treats me like this!"
"Dad, Dad, don't be impulsive. Mom, she should... she must have just been confused for a moment... Ah, no, it's all her fault, it's all her fault!"
Lu Fei still wanted to try and persuade him, but after seeing Principal Lu Guodong's angry gaze, she realized that some things could no longer be undone.
For the sake of her own future, she once again directly grabbed Principal Lu Guodong's leg. "Dad, this is all Mom's fault, I'm innocent! I've been with Dad since I was born, I didn't know anything at all! Dad, don't worry, no matter what happens, I will be filial to you and take care of you in your old age."
Regardless of the motive behind these words, at least for now, they were spoken from the heart.
She could not lose this father, could not lose her status as the eldest daughter of the Lu family, and even less could she lose the wealth and status that this identity brought her.
Principal Lu Guodong looked down at this daughter he had raised for twenty years, looking at that tear-stained face, and ultimately couldn't bring himself to be harsh.
He gently helped Lu Fei up and softly stroked Lu Fei's hair.
He thought to himself, since he couldn't have children of his own anyway, an adopted daughter was still a daughter, and that was fine too.
But Lin Xiao suddenly spoke up again.
"Principal Lu, don't be in such a rush. Do you really think things are that simple? Heh, they really aren't!"
Lin Xiao sat on the sofa, unhurriedly pouring himself a cup of tea.
He took a gentle sip, and then, like a storyteller striking a gavel, he placed the teacup heavily on the table.
Lu Fei trembled all over instantly. She had worked so hard to win back her father's heart; she couldn't let any more mishaps occur!
"Lin Xiao! What else do you want to do? Do you really have to watch our family fall apart to be satisfied?"
"Huh? You don't want to hear it?" Lin Xiao looked up at Principal Lu Guodong with feigned surprise. "That's true, Principal Lu is getting on in years after all; living a bit foolishly, just muddling through, isn't so bad."
Principal Lu Guodong clenched his fists. He was only in his forties, still in his prime. How was he "getting on in years"?
He knew that if he continued to pursue some things, perhaps he would be even more devastated than he was now.
But recalling the foolishness of the past twenty-plus years, and the massive "green hat" on his head, he did not regret learning about these things today.
Was he supposed to be a cuckold for his entire life for the sake of so-called family harmony, and be treated as a joke by others forever?
Furthermore, he had already endured the fact that his wife had cheated; what else could there be that he couldn't handle?
"Go ahead and say it, what else is there?" Principal Lu Guodong took a deep breath and asked calmly.
Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Don't you want to know who Lu Fei's biological parents are?"
"No!" Lu Fei did not hesitate for a moment, immediately screaming frantically, "I don't care who they are! It doesn't matter at all! I only have one dad!"
Principal Lu Guodong waved his hand at her, telling her to be quiet, then looked at Lin Xiao. "You even know about this kind of thing?"
"Hmm, actually, if you had just observed carefully, you should have been able to discover it long ago." Lin Xiao deliberately kept them in suspense.
Principal Lu Guodong had been able to climb all the way from an ordinary teacher to the position of university principal, so his mind was quite sharp.
The meaning of Lin Xiao's words was clearly that Lu Fei's biological parents should be right beside him.
After carefully recalling, a person really did appear in his mind.
"It wouldn't be... Old Zhou, would it..."
