Chapter 232: A Clue Emerges

Wang Lide had been arguing with Liu Tianjing just now and didn't pay much special attention to these trivial things.

"You make a good point. I'll contact Police Officer Xiao He right away and ask her to conduct an investigation."

While Father Lu was out participating in a Taobao competition, the stepmother secretly found Li Guanghua, the person in charge of legal affairs of the Lu Group.

Li Guanghua was a good friend of Father Lu. He had worked with Father Lu since he was young. He was dressed in a black windbreaker, wearing glasses, and there was a polite smile on his face.

The stepmother pushed the information about Lu Fenglin to him. "Lawyer Li, I know you're undefeated in court. Can you find a way to get Lu Fenglin out?"

"He was just temporarily confused!"

Unexpectedly, Li Guanghua didn't even look at the documents she pushed over. He looked at the stepmother with a half - smile.

"Mrs. Lu, I'm very sorry. Master Lu told me that no matter who comes to me, I'm not allowed to defend the second young master in court."

"But Master agreed, that's why I'm here!" The stepmother started to lie in order to save her son.

Facing Li Guanghua's skeptical look, the stepmother showed the imposing manner of the mistress of the Lu family and slapped the table. "Lawyer Li, are you doubting me?"

"No."

Li Guanghua didn't want to provoke the stepmother. He said with a smile, "Madam, I haven't received any information from the old master asking me to help the second young master. If he really wants me to do this, please ask him to call me."

The stepmother was so angry that her face and neck turned red. She stared at Li Guanghua gloomily. "Are you going to help or not?"

"No." There was still a smile on Li Guanghua's face, but his tone was very firm.

Hypocrite!

The stepmother cursed Li Guanghua in her heart. "Be careful that the master will fire you as the legal affairs manager after he knows about this!"

Li Guanghua had seen all kinds of big scenes. He had worked with Father Lu for so many years and knew quite well about the temperament and background of Father Lu's wife.

Father Lu didn't really care about the stepmother at all.

Li Guanghua didn't even blink an eye. "Okay, I'll wait."

"You..."

The stepmother left angrily. She searched the whole Lu Group but couldn't find anyone who dared to help Lu Fenglin.

In despair, the anger in the stepmother's heart burned even more vigorously.

Damn Father Lu! She didn't expect him to be so ruthless!

He didn't save his own son and didn't allow others to do so either!

If only she had a well - connected natal family. Then she could find a backer for her son at this time.

The stepmother sighed deeply and pinned her last hope on Sun Jingjing, the young lady of the Sun family.

Didn't Sun Jingjing say last time that she had a good impression of Lu Fenglin? If she went to ask for help, she would surely agree!

The stepmother immediately rushed to the Sun family's residence. Sun Jingjing was lying on the sofa at home, watching a romantic TV drama.

Sun Jingjing was crying so hard while stuffing the potato chips in her hand into her mouth frantically.

Ding - dong! Ding - dong!

The stepmother outside the door rang the doorbell twice.

"Who is it?"

Sun Jingjing wiped her tears and went to open the door while crying.

As soon as the door opened, the stepmother was a little surprised to see a girl with single - eyelid, a flat nose bridge, a big round face, and messy hair coiled on top of her head.

This girl looked very much like Sun Jingjing, but she was a bit fatter and not made up.

Could she be Sun Jingjing's elder sister?

"Hello, I'm looking for Jingjing..."

The stepmother asked politely.

"Aunt Lu, I'm Jingjing." Sun Jingjing sniffed and casually ruffled her hair.

"I just didn't put on makeup. It's not that different. You can't recognize me, can you?"

"Oh, so you didn't put on makeup..."

The stepmother was quick - witted and immediately made up an excuse. "I thought you were Jingjing's younger sister. Without makeup, you look like an 18 - year - old girl."

"Come on, I'm not that young..." Sun Jingjing was overjoyed by the compliment and stepped aside to let the stepmother in.

"Aunt, what do you want from me?"

"Jingjing, something has happened to Lu Fenglin in our family. I want to ask you for help..."

Mentioning Lu Fenglin, Sun Jingjing remembered that in the police station that day, Lu Fenglin ignored her but flirted with a woman named Xu Qingqing.

"Oh."

Suddenly, Sun Jingjing's face darkened and her tone became much colder.

Sun Jingjing plopped down on the sofa and started watching TV again.

"Aunt Lu, why do you come to me when something happens to Lu Fenglin?"

Although Sun Jingjing didn't ask the stepmother to sit down, the stepmother still sat down beside Sun Jingjing brazenly and began to cry.

"Fenglin was completely framed, but his father thinks it's his fault and insists on letting Fenglin suffer. I have no other way. I hope you can help Fenglin."

"I went to see Fenglin today, and he even asked about you."

"Humph! What he asked about wasn't me. It was that woman named Xu Qingqing!"

Sun Jingjing snorted and turned the TV volume down a bit.

The stepmother was shocked when she heard this. How did Sun Jingjing know about Xu Qingqing?

Sun Jingjing saw what was on the stepmother's mind. "I've been to the police station. Fenglin refused to see me but saw Xu Qingqing."

"Aunt Lu, what's their relationship?"

"They are... Xu Qingqing is Fenglin's sister - in - law!"

The stepmother quickly explained, "Fenglin saw Xu Qingqing because she is engaged in archaeology and he wanted his sister - in - law to help him."

"Is she really his sister - in - law? I've never heard that Lu Chuanbai is married." Sun Jingjing squinted suspiciously.

"Look."

The stepmother took out the screenshot she had saved last time, which showed the information about Lu Chuanbai and Xu Qingqing participating in a variety show together.

"See, Xu Qingqing and Lu Chuanbai participated in a variety show together."

"Jingjing, you misunderstood Lu Fenglin."

"Really?" Sun Jingjing blinked and paused the TV drama.

It seemed that she really hadn't heard anything that could prove the relationship between Lu Fenglin and Xu Qingqing that day.

"Jingjing, now only you can save Fenglin. Please. If you can get Fenglin out, you can do whatever you want!

"I'll be your servant!" The stepmother got up and knelt on the ground, with a pleading look on her face.

There really wasn't any more time!

What if Father Lu announced that the inheritance right would go to Lu Chuanbai while Lu Fenglin was still in prison?

"Okay then. I only have one condition." Sun Jingjing wriggled her body and sat beside the stepmother. A glint of light flashed in her eyes.

"I want to marry Lu Fenglin!"

"Marriage... Of course it's okay. You two are a perfect match!"

It was exactly what the stepmother wanted for Lu Fenglin to marry Sun Jingjing.
