As she spoke, she gently waved her hand, trying to dispel Wei Che's suspicion, and the innocent expression on her face remained unchanged.

Wei Che was unmoved by this. He frowned slightly, a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

He picked up the teacup again, but did not drink it. He just turned the teacup gently in his hand, his eyes never leaving Lu Jin.

"Ms. Lu, at this point, do you think you can get away with just a few excuses?"

His voice remained steady, but with a hint of pressure. "Coincidence? One time might be a coincidence, but repeated coincidences make one suspicious."

As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes scrutinizing, as if waiting for Lu Jin's next reaction.

Wei Che ignored her sophistry and took out a contract from his arms. This contract was the contract signed between the Wei family and the Lu family, with one copy each for Lu Jin and Su Huaiyue.

Wei Che sat up straighter, his eyes instantly sharp as an eagle, staring straight at Lu Jin, and said bluntly: "I've inquired about your situation. Although the Lu family is in business, they are not willing to limit themselves to this."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes revealing the confidence of seeing through everything. "From a long time ago, a teacher frequently came to the Lu family to teach calligraphy and painting to the Lu family's daughter."

At this point, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a hint of sarcasm. "For someone who has learned calligraphy since childhood, it's not difficult to imitate another person's handwriting. You don't want to say that those records in the account book that are exactly the same as the Wei family's handwriting are also coincidences, right?"

He tilted his head slightly, his eyes scrutinizing, as if he wanted to see through Lu Jin.

The smile on Lu Jin's face, which was originally trying to remain calm, froze in an instant.

Her eyes gradually turned cold, and her originally lively eyes were now as cold as a frozen pond, without a trace of warmth.

She pursed her lips tightly, and the muscles on her face twitched slightly, obviously being hit hard by Wei Che's words.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, then slowly put away the account book in her hand. Her movements seemed calm, but in fact her fingers were slightly white due to the force.

She gently put the account book aside, raised her head, and her tone became cold: "If the Wei family has a clear conscience and has not behaved improperly, I cannot frame you. So, if you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for being restless."

As she said this, she raised her chin slightly, with a hint of unwillingness and stubbornness in her eyes.

Wei Che looked at Lu Jin with a serious expression and said with a firm gaze: "I am not here today to ask for punishment, but I hope that the Lu family can cooperate seriously with Meiyan Pavilion from now on."

He leaned forward slightly, his hands on his knees, his eyes fixed on Lu Jin, as if conveying his unquestionable determination to her, "If something happens to Meiyan Pavilion, my sister-in-law and I will destroy the Meiyan Pavilion's formula immediately."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes, "When that happens, everything you have worked so hard to get will be in vain, and you will get nothing."

He leaned back in his chair slightly, crossed his arms over his chest, and waited quietly for Lu Jin's response.

Lu Jin gritted her teeth, and her lips turned slightly white from biting them.

A trace of anger and annoyance flashed in her eyes, and her hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

She secretly cursed Wei Che's cunning in her heart, as all her careful plans were easily exposed.

But she also knew that it was pointless to pretend any longer, so she could only reluctantly agree: "Okay, I understand. I won't do anything detrimental to the Wei family again."

She turned her head away, unwilling to look at Wei Che's calm and confident appearance. Her tone was full of helplessness and unwillingness, but she was secretly thinking about her future plans in her heart.

After Wei Che got Lu Jin's promise, he left the Lu family.

He did not feel relieved because he knew that although the Lu family's problem was temporarily solved, the Wei family's crisis might not be completely resolved.

For the next period of time, Meiyan Pavilion was very stable and no abnormal situations occurred.

At dusk, the sunset glow in the sky was like a gorgeous painting, dyeing the Wei family's courtyard into warm orange.

Su Huaiyue had just returned from the Beauty Pavilion, holding a newly developed beauty jar in her hand, which contained the beauty cream that she had spent several days painstakingly preparing.

When she passed by the corridor of the courtyard, she happened to see Wei Che standing by the railing, quietly looking at the sunset in the sky.

Su Huaiyue was slightly startled and stopped subconsciously.

She hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked forward.

The tranquility of Meiyan Pavilion during this period made her feel uneasy, and the doubts and worries in her heart became stronger and stronger. Wei Che's calm personality and keen insight made her unconsciously want to seek his opinion.

"It's been too quiet lately," Su Huaiyue stood a few steps away from Wei Che, slightly sideways to look at him, and said softly, with a hint of worry in her tone, "I always feel like it's the calm before the storm."

Her gaze lingered on Wei Che's face for a moment, then quickly moved away, fearing that her eyes would reveal too much emotion.

Wei Che turned his head and his eyes fell on Su Huaiyue.

His eyes were deep and steady, and they sparkled with a soft light under the reflection of the sunset.

"Sister-in-law, there will be no more frame-ups." His voice was low and firm, as if he was completely sure of what he said.

Su Huaiyue's doubts grew even stronger. She frowned slightly and looked at Wei Che with a questioning look in her eyes: "Why are you so sure?"

She bit her lip slightly, trying to make her tone sound calmer, but she couldn't suppress her curiosity.

Wei Che curled the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile.

He knew that Su Huaiyue would not let this question go easily, but there were some things he didn't want her to know too early, so he could only pretend to be mysterious.

"It's a secret." He turned his head slightly, avoiding Su Huaiyue's gaze, and spoke softly with a hint of ridicule in his tone.

Su Huaiyue felt a little annoyed when she saw that Wei Che refused to speak.

She subconsciously clenched the beauty jar in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help pretending to be angry.

She quickly took a few steps forward and stopped when she was two steps away from Wei Che. She reached out and scooped out a lump of cream from the beauty jar, gently stood on tiptoe, and quickly applied it on Wei Che's head.

"You are the only one who is mysterious!" She muttered softly, with a hint of anger in her voice. Then she immediately turned around and hurried towards her room, fearing that if she stayed for another second, her heartbeat would reveal more secrets.

Wei Che was startled by this sudden movement, his body trembled slightly, and he subconsciously took a small step back.

He looked at Su Huaiyue's departing back and was stunned for a moment.

It was not until Su Huaiyue's figure disappeared around the corner of the corridor that he slowly came to his senses.
