Chapter 179 The Female Secretary?

Bai Mengfei pondered for a moment and felt that what Lü You said made sense, so she gently responded with an "Mm" and nodded slightly.

"Actually, it's common to argue and quarrel with family members. I've had my share of arguments with them in the past."

Unexpectedly, Lü You laughed and said, "But since we're fortunate enough to be family, we should be considerate of each other. If everyone takes a step back, there won't be any problems. By the way, come back with me first, and I'll have the butler take you home later so I can explain things to your family."

"No need." Bai Mengfei suddenly made a bold decision and said, "If it's convenient for you tonight, could I stay at your place for the night?"

Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's somewhat presumptuous request, Lü You frowned. He initially shook his head, but then made up his mind and said, "Alright, I have many rooms in my house. I usually live on the first floor. If you really have nowhere to go, you can stay on the second floor."

"Thank you," Bai Mengfei said.

Upon arriving at Lü You's home, Bai Mengfei couldn't help but sigh, "Lü You is indeed a truly wealthy man."

The house was spacious and grand, decorated in a gilded style, and had an elegant and gentlemanly butler.

If it were someone else, possessing such wealth at his age, they probably would have stopped striving and struggling long ago.

But he still devoted himself wholeheartedly to his work.

Bai Mengfei suddenly remembered the female victim's complaints that day, and asked him, "In your heart, is work more important than anything else?"

Lu You walked to the bar, poured himself a glass of wine, took a bottle of cola from the refrigerator and tossed it to Bai Mengfei, then answered while drinking his wine:

"That's not how it is. What do you think is the purpose of making money? Isn't it to make the lives of those around you better? I don't think anyone is born liking to work hard, and neither am I. I don't like living a nine-to-five life all the time."

"It's just that at our age, especially for men, we need to become more mature, rational, and stable."

"Women's thoughts are certainly important, and they are indeed very important, but sometimes, you're like children who haven't experienced certain things and can't really understand. To put it bluntly, I work hard for someone."

"Someone? Is it her?" Bai Mengfei took a step closer and asked.

Lu You downed the wine in his cup in one gulp, nodded, and said, "That's right, it's for her."

As he spoke, he opened another bottle of wine and poured it into his glass.

As he poured the wine, he continued, "To be honest, I've experienced a reaction like hers before. Besides her complaining about me many times, my ex-girlfriend also reacted the same way."

"What happened to your ex-girlfriend?" Bai Mengfei asked curiously.

“When my career was just starting out, I was considered a middle-class person with a few hundred thousand yuan in assets.”

Lu You drank more than half a glass of wine and slowly said, "Back then, she complained that I was only focused on working and making money and didn't have time for her. So I changed and spent more time with her. But after I squandered all my savings with her, she left."

Although Lü You spoke lightly, Bai Mengfei could fully imagine the feeling of losing both money and love.

"So, you were deceived by her, right?" Bai Mengfei asked.

"It's not a matter of deception or not; I can only blame myself for making the wrong choice in the first place."

Lu You said, "It's not that I met the wrong person, but that I wasn't mature and steady enough back then. So now, facing the same choice again, I chose to work, for fear of ending up with everyone leaving when the tree falls. But she is really important to me. It's just a pity that she never listened to what I said before she died."

He spoke calmly, as if these things had happened a long time ago and he had long since let them go.

"You can't entirely blame yourself," Bai Mengfei sighed with pity for him. "I think you've really been unlucky in love. Why are all the women you've met so immature? Or do you just like the kind of girls who are a bit willful and capricious?"

"No, at first they all acted like good wives and mothers, generous, gentle, understanding and humble."

He smiled wryly, took his wine glass, and walked around the bar: "It's just that his true colors gradually came out later. I've never been able to figure it out, but oh well. Maybe it's all fate, that I'm just not suited for dating."

After saying that, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Bai Mengfei frowned slightly. Seeing him approach, she was still somewhat wary and said, "The room you mentioned is on the second floor, right? I'm a little sleepy, I'll go upstairs to wash up and rest first."

"Yes, the room is at the end of the second floor." With that, he walked past Bai Mengfei and headed straight for the floor-to-ceiling window.

Bai Mengfei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Looking back, she realized she might have been overthinking things.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the beautiful night view outside. Tonight, the night sky is full of twinkling stars, which looks particularly enchanting.

Bai Mengfei glanced at it with her, then turned to go upstairs.

Before I even stepped onto the stairs, I bumped into a woman.

The woman was wearing a tight-fitting bodycon dress, with exquisite and glamorous makeup. Her golden-brown curly hair fell over one shoulder, and she wore a calm yet polite smile. She had an outstanding temperament.

Even Bai Mengfei couldn't help but be attracted by her temperament.

The woman walked into the living room, but did not approach Lü You, and said, "Boss, I have stabilized the situation with the board of directors for you, and there will be no ruling for the time being."

"Xiaoman, they all suspect I'm the murderer. What do you think?" Lü You asked without turning her head.

The woman named Xiaoman firmly said, "I absolutely believe that you, boss, would not kill anyone."

Lu You then took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

Seeing this, Bai Mengfei slowly walked upstairs. As she climbed the stairs, she was filled with doubt: "With such an outstanding goddess by his side, why would Lü You like such an ordinary woman and get involved in this case?"

As she pondered this, she remembered the information she had seen about the female victim at the police station.

The deceased woman had only a junior college diploma, was of average appearance, came from a rural area, and had previously worked as a waitress in a bar.

So she thought to herself, "Could it be that Lü You likes 'prince and Cinderella' type love stories? If so, he's quite romantic."

It's truly unbelievable that someone who yearns for fairytale romance would commit murder.

Upon arriving at the room at the far end of the second floor, Bai Mengfei recalled the "Xiao Man" from earlier.

Who exactly is she?

Judging from the situation, she should be Lü You's female secretary.

Bai Mengfei recalled the way she looked at Lü You; it was indeed somewhat peculiar.

Women understand women better, and Bai Mengfei could sense that.

Xiaoman harbors special feelings for Lü You.

So, is there some kind of connection between her and the deceased?

Because of her profession, Bai Mengfei couldn't help but start making connections again.
