As soon as Shen Jianyi entered the study, she was like a discoverer of a new continent. She wandered around, craning her neck to look everywhere.
She sat down on a chair and found that it wouldn't budge. On the table was also a photo of Lu Suowei and Lin Enjin.
"Jinsheng, look at this," she said, getting up and handing the photo frame over. Lu Jinsheng was momentarily stunned when he took it, looking extremely dejected.
"It seems Lu Suowei was right. He really did imprison the people I care about. That lecher!"
Hearing this, Shen Jianyi just sat back on the chair and swayed back and forth. She found that no matter how vigorously she moved, she couldn't change the direction of the chair.
If it was just because the chair was old and didn't work well at first, but now that she was being so deliberate, why still didn't it work?
So, Shen Jianyi looked in the direction of the chair. There was a painting there.
It was a painting by Gustav Klimt, *Francesca and Paolo*.
Shen Jianyi thought it was a bit strange to hang this painting here. Her eyebrows knitted slightly. "Jinsheng, look at this painting."
Although she didn't study paintings much on a daily basis, she could still tell the meaning behind this painting.
"If I remember correctly, this is a painting about the forbidden love between a sister - in - law and her brother - in - law. Why did he buy a replica and put it here?"
Shen Jianyi thought that he might be trying to highlight the forbidden love. After all, Lu Suowei was in love with Lin Enjin. How could such love not be considered forbidden?
Lu Jinsheng also noticed something strange. Just as he was about to reach out and touch the painting, the maid quickly interrupted him. "Young master, there's someone outside."
He retracted his hand, turned to look at the maid, and then asked, "Who is it?"
"Xu Yao."
It had to be said that Xu Yao came at just the right time. Lu Jinsheng showed his authority as the head of the family, looking extremely imposing.
"Let her come to the study."
The maid originally wanted to refuse, but for some reason, at that moment, she didn't have the courage.
So, in the end, she led Xu Yao into the study.
Xu Yao was extremely surprised when she came in and saw the two of them. She even turned around and was about to leave.
"Miss Xu, where are you going?" Lu Jinsheng was standing behind her and wouldn't let her leave so easily.
She swallowed hard. "Why are you here, Mr. Lu?"
"This is also my home, after all. We both have the surname Lu. Is it so strange for me to be here?"
Xu Yao naturally wouldn't say much. After all, it had nothing to do with her.
"Of course not. I'm just surprised to meet you here." She gave a faint smile. "If you have nothing else to do, Mr. Lu, I'll take my leave."
After saying that, Xu Yao was about to open the door, but the next second, Shen Jianyi grabbed her hand.
"I have something to ask you. You can't leave."
Xu Yao knew what they wanted from her. She shivered, and it was obvious how scared she was.
"You don't need to be so nervous. We won't hurt you. We just simply want to know where Lin Enjin is."
Xu Yao still refused to admit it. "I don't know the Lin Enjin you're talking about. Let me go."
"Are you still not willing to admit it?" Lu Jinsheng was trying hard to control his temper at this moment. "I know you were threatened by Lu Suowei, but I can assure you completely that he won't do anything to you or your family anymore."
Xu Yao definitely wouldn't believe it. How could she risk her family's lives?
While Lu Jinsheng was asking questions, Shen Jianyi was constantly examining the painting.
From time to time, Shen Jianyi would turn to look at Xu Yao, and the two would look into each other's eyes for a few seconds.
Shen Jianyi could tell from Xu Yao's eyes that she was very worried, which meant that this painting must be useful.
But she wasn't sure exactly what it was for. Frowning, she reached out and touched it.
On the other side.
Lu Jinsheng was gradually losing his patience. "I'll tell you the truth. Lu Suowei has already jumped into the sea and committed suicide. Now, there's no real power in his family. What are you still afraid of?"
Xu Yao was stunned. "He really... committed suicide?"
"Yes, right in front of me. Otherwise, how could I have known my mother was here?"
It seemed that everything made sense after this explanation. Xu Yao lowered her head, still thinking about it.
Just then.
Shen Jianyi suddenly felt a small protrusion on the painting. She pressed it hard, and only to hear a sound coming from the bookshelf against the wall.
She walked over and pulled hard. All the books on the bookshelf fell to the ground, and the bookshelf was pulled open. A secret room appeared in front of everyone.
Lu Ming fell out of it. Tears were streaming down his cheeks. His sister was there too, and the two of them were crying uncontrollably.
They had heard everything that had been said just now. They also knew that Lu Suowei was really gone.
They were already two children without a mother. Now, in the blink of an eye, their father was gone too.
But Lu Jinsheng didn't have time to take care of them. He walked straight in. Xu Yao looked a bit worried.
Shen Jianyi patted her on the shoulder and comforted her. "Don't worry. We're telling the truth!"
After saying that, she just followed him in.
Now, in front of the two of them was Lin Enjin. She was sitting in a wheelchair, looking up at them.
Since she was locked in this small dark room last time, she had been constantly recalling the past, and now her memory had almost recovered.
The moment she saw Lu Jinsheng, Lin Enjin began to tremble.
"Jin... Jinsheng, my... my child..." She finally couldn't hold back her tears, which fell onto her legs.
Seeing this, Shen Jianyi turned around. She knew that Lu Jinsheng was very vulnerable at this moment, and he definitely didn't want her to see this side of him.
She stood outside the small dark room waiting, while the two people inside were still chatting non - stop.
Lin Enjin looked at him. He had grown up so much. She still remembered that Lu Jinsheng was just a primary school student when she left.
"Jinsheng, all these years... have you been okay? How's your father?"
Lu Jinsheng nodded. His voice was a bit choked. "Yes... everything is fine. I've married a very beautiful wife, and my father has never forgotten you. He misses you very much too."
He knew that although it sounded a bit absurd for him to say this, and he couldn't guarantee that Lin Enjin would forgive Lu Ziqian, but now his father had changed. He was no longer the bad guy he used to be.
Lin Enjin sniffed. "That's good. Mother has an unseemly request... Jinsheng, can you help me?"
"Mother, just tell me."
"I want to see your father. I want to ask him in person what he was thinking back then."
