Ahem, that just might be a coincidence. What are the odds off Lu BoYang tried to reassure himself.

Granted, recalling his previous encounter with Su Ran and the Su Ran that he saw in the program this last few times, had he not known of her past, Lu BoYang, too, would think that she was a very nice woman.

Nevertheless, not only did he know of her past, the two of them even had a lot of unpleasant histories with each other.

Besides, Lu BoYang till had a hard time picturing his Third Uncle with Su Ran. Particularly after his Third Uncle had learned of Su Rans past.

How much would a man have to love a woman to be able to accept everything about her that way?

Lu BoYang did not see that happening.

Then there was Su Han.

How could one explain the existence of Su Han?

Zhou Fu mentioned last time that Xiao Qi was 13 years old. Doing the math, Su Ran was not even 18 years old yet 14 years ago.

An even more horrifying thought seemed to have crossed Lu BoYangs mind but was quickly suppressed by him.

No way!

Lu BoYang hung onto his two last factors as though they were his last straws. He forced himself into not accepting this fact.

***

The very next morning, a news drowned out the last spark of hope in Lu BoYangs mind.

A message had been posted by the patriarch of the Lu family and displayed on the Lu Corporations official website.

Lu (verified): Ive known Xiao Ran for years. I wasnt aware of when all the stories about the boss lady of the Lu family had taken place.

The message exploded the internet.

What was going on?

Yesterday it was the boss lady of the Song Corporation. And the patriarch of the Lu Corporation joined in today in person??

What the patriarch of the Lu family was saying was: Su Rans real identity is his wife? The matriarch of the Lu family? And the two might have been married for years? And that everything online were just crazy, baseless talks?

If Su Ran was truly Madam Lu, then all the rumors about her being in the red-light district were but jokes.

And, as such, all the other rumors would be questionable.

Had anyone other than Lu Shao had said what he said, others would feel that it was merely an effort to cleanse Su Rans reputation.

But who was this Lu Shao?

The patriarch of the Lu family!

There was never a lot of news or information on the Lu family; but that was because they were low key.

The Lu family, in and of itself, however, was a huge existence.

As such, why would the patriarch of the Lu family lie about his own marital status for just a random someone?

Who would believe that?

As such, as soon as the Weibo was released, the thought in everyones mind was: The table had been turned.

The Lu family released two more announcements afterward and had completely removed every last shred of doubts.

The first release was about Su Ran. Some of the personal information had been removed but it detailed a very long time of Su Rans life, from her birth till she had graduated senior high school.

From the document, Su Rans parents were just regular business people and had passed away when Su Ran was just 15 years old.

At the very minimum, she had nothing to do with a wealthy rich girl.

The previous rumor was debunked.

Lu Shao wasnt even the one who created the document.

He had the Su family to thank for that.

Back then, the Su family wanted to draw the line between themselves with Su Ran and, at the same time, cover up that her parents death was an accident at work, they had created a whole new set of identities for Su Ran and her parents.

And this identity had nothing to do with the Su family.

Following that, Lu Shao, using his status as the patriarch of the Lu family, released a second news through the Lu Corporation: All of the competitions between the Lu family and Song Corporation are limited only to business. Please do not think there were any reasons beyond that.
