The moment this question was asked, the atmosphere inside the car instantly changed.
The air pressure seemed to drop significantly.
Shen Jianyi didn't answer. Her heart trembled slightly, but mostly she remained unfazed.
Perhaps Lu Yuan sensed that no one was responding to her, so she wasn't so tactless as to continue asking.
In this cramped environment, the people inside were almost out of breath. Fortunately, they returned to the main building of the Lu family in time.
In the hall.
Lu Ziqian was chatting and laughing with Lin Zhirou. The two had been talking non - stop.
Actually, this scene really puzzled Shen Jianyi. Clearly, this woman had acted so insanely, yet why was Lu Ziqian still smiling at her so cheerfully?
Perhaps he just wanted to show her that a woman who had been criticized across the internet and almost imprisoned was more qualified to be the young mistress of the Lu family than her.
However, these things didn't have much of an impact on Shen Jianyi. She didn't really care.
Moreover, since they entered the door, Lu Jinsheng had been holding her hand and never let go.
Seeing this, Lu Ziqian frowned tightly. "Jinsheng, Zhirou has finally escaped from the bitter sea. I called you all here today to welcome her back."
Hearing this, Lu Jinsheng sat down on the sofa expressionlessly, looking very casual.
He said coldly, "Lin Zhirou hurt me and Yiyi. And we're supposed to welcome her back? Father, are you really stupid or just pretending?"
"What are you talking nonsense about?" Lu Ziqian questioned and explained to them, "I only understood this matter after hearing from Zhirou. It was all Pei Xiuyuan's doing. She was just being used."
As soon as he finished speaking, the woman couldn't help but let out a sneering laugh. "Father is right. We all know very well who used whom. Let's not make it explicit."
Shen Jianyi mocked in a sarcastic tone, "Could it be that the person being used ended up in the police station while the mastermind was in the hospital?"
These words left Lu Ziqian completely speechless. This woman was simply too sharp - tongued. He couldn't argue with her.
"Shen Jianyi, shut up!"
She sat there nonchalantly, looking very casual and showing an extremely lazy attitude.
After a while, the group sat down at the dining table. As soon as Lu Ziqian sat down, he received a call from an unknown number. He left his seat to answer the call nearby.
At this time, the remaining people weren't really focused on this meal. Each of them had their own things on their minds.
Just then, Lin Zhirou picked up Lu Ziqian's plate and wiped it clean with a tissue. This seemed perfectly normal to others.
However, this action made Shen Jianyi suspicious. The napkins on the table were relatively soft, but the tissue she had just used was of a completely different quality.
If she guessed correctly, Lin Zhirou must have wiped poison on the plate. As long as Lu Ziqian ate with this set of tableware, he would drop dead on the spot.
...
At this time, the person involved was still on the phone.
The call was from the police station. The police officer's tone was serious. "Mr. Lu, your nephew Lu Weiran came to the police station to turn himself in yesterday. He said that he was involved in Lu Jinsheng's car accident case."
"What did you say?" Lu Ziqian coughed twice, hardly believing it.
The other person's tone remained calm. "He has taken all the blame for his crimes. Also, he asked us to contact you to handle this."
Hearing this, Lu Ziqian refused without hesitation. "Sorry, I'm not his father. If you really need to find someone, please go to my elder brother, Lu Suowei."
After saying this, he immediately hung up the phone.
For Lu Ziqian, the only use of Lu Weiran was to help him drive Shen Jianyi away. Now that he was in trouble, he definitely had to distance himself from the matter. He couldn't let the fire burn himself.
After hanging up the phone, he returned to the dining table.
"Let's start eating."
He picked up the chopsticks on the table first, picked up some vegetables and put them on his plate. Judging from his actions, he was about to eat them.
Shen Jianyi, who had witnessed everything just now, was now lost in thought. She was just waiting for the right moment.
Seeing that Lu Ziqian was about to put the vegetables into his mouth, Lin Zhirou's expression beside him began to turn arrogant. Her smile was simply impossible to hide.
However, the other three people looked solemn. Even Lu Yuan was clenching her fists tightly, as if she had sensed something.
At this critical moment, Shen Jianyi suddenly threw the chopsticks on the table forcefully and then stood up, slamming the table.
"Don't eat!"
The woman's voice was cold and gloomy. Lu Ziqian admitted that he was startled. Shen Jianyi, who had been silent just now, suddenly became so serious. Moreover... she actually wanted to stop him. It was really ridiculous.
Lu Ziqian's face turned green and then red. It looked extremely ugly.
He didn't understand what Shen Jianyi was up to now. Could it be that she was just deliberately trying to oppose him?
"Shen Jianyi, watch your mouth. This is the main building of the Lu family, not your place!" Lu Ziqian said seriously, "Do you know what you just said?"
He thought that by saying this, the other person would understand, but unexpectedly, the situation started to develop in an abnormal direction.
Shen Jianyi wasn't intimidated by his words. Instead, she was extremely calm. With a smile on her lips, she said, "I think Lin Zhirou should know very well why I don't let father eat?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Ziqian looked at her in confusion. He saw that the woman's eyes were filled with hostility, and it was very obvious.
At this moment, Lu Ziqian felt that something was wrong. But then he thought that Lin Zhirou still wanted to rely on him to climb up. How could she do anything to him?
This could only prove one thing, that is, the woman in front of him was just causing trouble for no reason. And Lin Zhirou's strange look was also directed at Shen Jianyi.
"Nonsense!" He said with a straight face, "What are you talking nonsense about here? I called you all here today to welcome Miss Lin back. But look at you guys? Hm?"
"Welcome her back?" Shen Jianyi stood up slowly. She reached out to hold the back of the seat and walked over. Finally, she stopped behind the woman. "Is that really all?"
Obviously, Lin Zhirou was intimidated. Her body was very stiff, and it was obvious that she was extremely nervous.
But Shen Jianyi didn't intend to give her any chance to relax. She turned around, folded her arms across her chest, and said in a contemptuous tone, "If you eat those green vegetables today, we'll have to attend your funeral tomorrow."
Lu Ziqian had always thought that she came from a humble background. Now that she had said such things, his expression immediately changed. It became extremely ugly.
His temple throbbed. He always felt that Shen Jianyi was just deliberately causing trouble.
On the contrary, Shen Jianyi calmly picked up the plate and put it in front of Lin Zhirou. With a smile on her lips, she said, "Miss Lin, why don't you prove to us that what I said is false?"
