"It's nothing. I'm just a bit curious," Mo Yun said. After saying this, he looked at the girl beside him guiltily. He saw her smile gradually fade, and her eyes become colder than usual. The whole person exuded an air of arrogance from head to toe.
When she spoke, her expression remained unchanged. In particular, she didn't even glance at him. "One should have less curiosity."
Mo Yun: "..."
He always felt that what the young lady said was rather puzzling. Moreover, he also felt that the person in front of him had rapid mood swings. Perhaps, she was a wolf in sheep's clothing.
The more he thought about it, the scarier it became. Mo Yun didn't dare to look at her directly anymore. Fortunately, the plane arrived at the private airport in time, and he finally separated from the girl.
...
The First Central Hospital of Shencheng.
The light in the emergency room was still on. Shen Jianyi, whose wound had already been bandaged, passed by there. Her heart ached. More or less, she felt that he shouldn't have taken that knife for her.
"Idiot," the woman said coldly.
Just as she was in a daze, a tall and slender figure appeared behind her. They were both looking in the same direction, but she didn't notice.
"Pei Xiuyuan asked for it. From the moment he kidnapped you, he should have thought that this might happen in the future," a deep and hoarse voice pulled her back to reality. Shen Jianyi turned around and saw the man fiddling with his fingers.
She lowered her eyelashes and sighed silently. "Forget it. Whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with me."
"It should be so."
The two just stood in the corridor. A nurse came from somewhere. She politely walked up to them.
"Excuse me. Are you Mr. Lu?"
This was addressed to Lu Jinsheng. Hearing this, he just nodded but didn't say a word. Instead, he waited for the other person to continue.
"Second Master Lu is looking for you. He hopes you can go to his ward."
After saying this, the nurse turned around and left.
He didn't hesitate. Just as he was about to move forward, he saw the woman still standing there. Lu Jinsheng's lips curled into an almost imperceptible smile. "Come with me. He won't do anything to you."
After all, it was a narrow escape. If Lu Ziqian took this opportunity to humiliate Shen Jianyi, he would never agree.
So, the two went to the old master's ward together.
The ward door opened. Lu Jinsheng walked in front. Originally, Lu Ziqian's expression was one of excitement and surprise, with a bit of worry in his eyes.
Anyway, he had just run out of the hospital without a word and couldn't be contacted. This was something no one could accept, especially for a father who loved his son deeply. The moment he saw his son return, the world seemed to brighten up a lot.
But then, the person following behind the man made all the emotions in his eyes come to a sudden halt. Besides being cold, there was also a hint of annoyance in his eyes.
"Why are you here too?" Lu Ziqian's tone was quite bad. One could feel that he didn't want to see the woman.
Hearing this, Shen Jianyi didn't say a word. She didn't care what he said. Anyway, it didn't hurt her. Moreover, she didn't want to argue with him because of his illness.
She didn't want to anger the old man and then be blamed for everything. So, why bother?
Lu Ziqian sat up on the bed. He covered his mouth and coughed twice. "Shen Jianyi, you'd better leave my son."
"..."
After such a long time, the old man was still stubborn about this.
She could feel that Lu Jinsheng's body had trembled twice just now. It seemed that he was about to stand up and refute at any time. But he was worried about Lu Ziqian's physical condition and had to find the most appropriate words to refute him.
Seeing that neither of them said a word, Lu Ziqian became even more insistent. "You know your family background and origin clearly. It's just wishful thinking for you to climb up to our family. I advise you to leave as soon as possible."
"Father, you—"
Just as Lu Jinsheng was about to speak, he was directly stopped by Shen Jianyi. She showed no sign of panic. Instead, she was calm and composed. "Really? Should I leave as soon as possible so that you can let Lin Zhirou marry him? A woman who has already been in prison."
Lu Ziqian widened his eyes. He had heard about this matter but didn't know all the details. He really didn't expect that Lin Zhirou had been jailed.
However, the Lin family would surely take some actions. It was still unclear what would happen to Lin Zhirou.
But in Shen Jianyi's eyes, he was just a stubborn old man who didn't distinguish right from wrong. No one could change his mind.
She endured her last bit of patience and explained. "She planned the car accident, bribed your younger brother's good son, Lu Weiran, and colluded with others to kidnap me and hurt Jinsheng. If after doing all this, she can still become your ideal daughter-in-law—"
Seeing Lu Ziqian's face getting uglier and uglier, she didn't intend to stop at all. Instead, she squinted slightly and sized up the other person.
The woman's lips curled into a contemptuous arc. "Then I really should advise you to go and see an ophthalmologist."
"You!" Lu Ziqian gasped for breath in anger. He looked like he was about to suffocate at any moment.
"I usually don't bother to talk nonsense with you. I advise you to undo two buttons on your collar. Don't blame me for making you angry if you feel stuffy later."
Every word she said now hit Lu Ziqian right in the heart. He had never noticed before that the woman in front of him was so eloquent.
Lu Ziqian trembled with anger and slowly pointed at her. "What good will it do you if you anger me to death?"
But the woman didn't say a word anymore.
She happily hid behind Lu Jinsheng, as if she was taking a break after a big battle.
Lu Jinsheng was also a bit surprised. No wonder she had stopped him from speaking just now. It seemed that she didn't need his help at all.
Perhaps Shen Jianyi had accumulated all her grievances during this period and finally vented them all at this moment. If the other person wasn't Lu Ziqian, it was really uncertain what she would do.
"Father, I've already made up my mind about her. No matter how much you object, it will only be her."
Lu Ziqian was extremely angry. He really couldn't understand why his son didn't understand this truth.
If Shen Jianyi hadn't been involved, how could Lin Zhirou have done these things? And how could he have gotten hurt?
After all that had happened during this period, he also deeply felt that the woman in front of him was a bad omen who would sooner or later bring bad luck to the whole family.
Since Lu Jinsheng was so stubborn, he had no choice but to hold on. As for what would happen in the future, it was hard to say.
Just then, a news segment appeared on the TV.
The scene behind the female host was the villa where they had narrowly escaped death. Now it was surrounded by the police. The news host was also explaining the process of the case and some strange things.
