Chapter 179 I've Been Set Up

Luo Zhen only found out about this the next day. He hadn't planned to let him know, fearing that he would be too heartbroken to breathe after hearing the news.

But this matter caused quite a stir, and it soon reached his ears.

He was undergoing a check-up at home by his private doctor before hearing the news. His health had been deteriorating over the past two years, which is why he was in a hurry to make a will.

Upon hearing the news, his blood pressure spiked, and he only managed to bring it down after taking antihypertensive medication.

He had originally planned to go to the Lin family to find someone, but when he heard from Lin Yi that they had already arrived at the hospital, he came over as well, accompanied by two male assistants.

When he arrived at the hospital, Lin Yi and the others hadn't arrived yet. He first went to check on Yu Hua in her ward. There was a caregiver looking after her, and her condition had stabilized, so he felt relieved.

After giving her a few words of advice to take care of herself and not to get angry, he went to the next room to check on Luo Shu.

"Grandpa," Yu Zhan greeted him.

"Grandpa, what brings you here?" Luo Shu had just finished eating dessert and was lying in bed. Her body had basically recovered its original color, but the injury on her leg still stung faintly.

"If I hadn't come, you would have all thought I was dead. Such a big thing happened and no one even told me. I had to hear about it from someone else." Luo Zhen's cheeks were puffed up with anger.

Luo Shu looked at the angry old man and couldn't help but smile.

She had hardly ever received this kind of care from male elders throughout her life, so this sudden feeling warmed her heart.

“Grandpa is so young, I’m afraid a coffin won’t be able to hold you back.” Yu Zhan pulled out a chair and placed it behind him.

Luo Zhen glanced at Yu Zhan, then turned to nag him, "You're a grown man, why don't you bring one or two bodyguards with you when you go out with two women? What are you good for?"

Yu Zhan pursed his lips. "Grandpa is right. It was my fault."

"Besides being handsome and having some money, what good are you?"

"..." That's enough.

Yu Zhan brought over a glass of pear water from the side and handed it to Luo Zhen, saying, "Drink some pear water to soothe your throat."

Luo Zhen was furious.

"I heard that wicked creature is coming. What are you planning to do?" he asked.

He felt somewhat guilty. Luo Qiu and Luo Shu had only been back for a short time, and several unpleasant things had happened to them. His sense of guilt towards them grew even stronger.

Yu Zhan glanced at Luo Shu.

Luo Shu did not speak.

If Lin Xiao really did it, even if Luo Shu doesn't say anything, the Luo family and the Lin family can teach her a lesson. If she were to bring it up now, it would seem a bit excessive, but if she doesn't say anything, she would be letting down the suffering she has endured.

"Sigh..." Luo Zhen sighed. This matter was indeed difficult to handle.

Lin Xiao has really messed up this time.

Just as they were all struggling with their decision, Lin Yi arrived with Lin Xiao, followed by Grandpa Lin, who looked like he was bringing a child who had made a mistake to apologize.

Luo Yan and Lin Fan didn't come; they went to the company to handle some business.

Actually, they didn't want to see this scene, and they wanted to achieve something in the company's affairs to seek forgiveness, at least to get Lin Xiao punished less severely.

However, it wouldn't be good for them to show up at this time. With the people in charge of the household all there, their presence would seem like an act of protection and indulgence.

As soon as Lin Xiao entered the ward, she saw Luo Zhen tremble with fear.

Her legs were already weak, but now they were shaking even more violently. In addition, she had been in a state of mental collapse since last night, and her face was frighteningly pale.

She stood there, stunned, and forgot to even ask who it was.

Lin Yi nudged her from the side, showing no intention of protecting her.

Lin Xiao came to her senses and then greeted the people in the ward.

No one said a word or responded, waiting for her to continue.

Lin Xiao looked at Lin Yi, then at Old Master Lin.

Old Master Lin braced his cane against her back and pushed her forward without any politeness.

"Don't embarrass yourself here. Apologize if you should," Old Master Lin said irritably.

Lin Yi felt that his younger sister had a low IQ, probably because his parents had passed on all their intelligence to him when they gave birth to him. He didn't know how Lin Xiao got into university.

She's always been so reckless in her actions since she was little. She was taken advantage of by Su Ting just a couple of days ago, and now she's doing something like this.

Wait, Su Ting...

Lin Yi seemed to have thought of something, and her mind suddenly went blank.

Old Master Lin and Luo Zhen greeted each other politely.

Old Master Lin came with a purpose.

I left the ward half an hour later.

Lin Xiao was not sent abroad, but instead sent to a remote area to be in charge of that business. If the expected results were not achieved within six months, the shares would be forfeited.

If she can achieve something, she will still have a place in the Luo family.

Old Master Lin was using a strategy of advancing as a form of retreat, fearing that Luo Zhen would simply dump Lin Xiao, leaving her with no protection whatsoever.

Luo Shu didn't know what to say. He had already said so. This decision was neither a big deal nor a small one. It was more of an opportunity for her to learn and grow than a punishment, and also a way to stabilize the current situation and prevent the shares from growing too fast.

Yu Zhan felt that Old Master Lin was somewhat intelligent, but it was a pity that his son was useless and his granddaughter was just as bad. It was really hard on Lin Yi, and she was also dragging down her sister.

Lin Yi had just heard about the decision and couldn't help but think to himself, "Old foxes are shrewder."

Luo Zhen wanted to say something but couldn't utter a word; how could he not understand what it meant?

It seems like this matter just passed by in a blur?

He didn't say anything, which was taken as tacit agreement, but his gaze met Yu Zhan's without prior agreement.

After Lin Xiao and her group walked out, she turned back.

Lin Yi and Grandpa Lin did not follow her; they simply stood there and waited.

Luo Shu and Yu Zhan were somewhat shocked to see Lin Xiao return.

Lin Xiao's face was streaked with tears, probably from crying too much last night. Her eyes were red and swollen, and her eye bags were heavy. In a hoarse voice, she said humbly, "Brother Yu, I'm sorry."

She choked up, "I was wrong that night, but I really didn't do what my cousin and sister-in-law did. I swear to God, if I did it, then let me die in the countryside and never come back."

She practically cried as she finished speaking, and then she ran away.

Yu Zhan glanced at her retreating figure, his expression remaining largely unchanged.

Luo Shu was stunned for a moment, and for a moment she also doubted the authenticity of this matter.

But what happened that night?

She turned her gaze to Yu Zhan and asked, "Which night was that? What happened?"

They didn't tell many people about what happened that night, but the elders who needed to know knew.

She didn't say it out of consideration for her own pride.

Yu Zhan didn't hide anything. He poured her a glass of warm water and said, "She tried to climb into my bed, but she couldn't. She fell and her brother-in-law saw her."

He spoke in a cryptic way, but Luo Shu seemed to understand what he meant.

"Do you think Lin Xiao did this?" she asked.

"Even if Lin Xiao is stupid, she wouldn't attack you for several days in a row and expose such a big flaw. She must have been set up by someone."

"Who could it be..." Luo Shu pursed her lips.

Yu Zhan remained silent.

Even if Lin Xiao didn't do it, she deserved to be assigned to another region to be in charge of the project.

This matter won't just pass like this.

His eyes were icy cold.
