"Young Master Lu really cares about his wife. You've remembered all that I said."
The doctor nodded approvingly.
He has worked in this field for many years and has seen many couples come together for prenatal checkups.
Some men either do things half-heartedly or only care about the result.
It's rare to see someone as dedicated as Young Master Lu.
"It's only right that I care about her affairs," Lu Shen replied matter-of-factly.
Is what he said true?
Jian Ruoxi was a little unsure.
After leaving the hospital, she was still somewhat dazed, feeling as if everything that had happened that day was a dream.
"What are you thinking about?" Knowing that Jian Ruoxi was alright, Lu Shen wasn't in a hurry to go back.
This is a good opportunity to talk to her for a while.
They haven't gone for a walk in a long time.
"Lu Shen, you went to the Jian family? And what about the insurance money? What's going on here?"
She was completely confused when she heard it at home just now.
Lu Shen knew she would ask, so he walked to the inpatient department at the back of the hospital, sat down on a bench, patted the seat next to him, and gestured for her to sit down as well.
Jian Ruoxi hesitated, but still chose to sit next to him.
"Do you remember that time you cried alone in the back garden, saying you had no home?"
Of course she remembered; it was that time that she received the first flower he ever gave her.
"Out of curiosity, I sent someone to investigate."
It turns out I was just curious.
Hearing his answer, Jian Ruoxi felt a little disappointed.
What am I expecting? Do I really expect to hear Lu Shen say the word "feel sorry"?
Lu Shen, unaware of Jian Ruoxi's inner turmoil, continued, "A-Jie and the others found out that after your mother passed away, they kicked you out of the Jian family."
"Their real purpose in driving you away was to seize the insurance money left by your mother."
He still remembers blaming Jian Ruoxi for being so weak when he heard the news.
Even with the old man's favor, have they not learned to bully others?
"Then why?" Jian Ruoxi couldn't bring herself to ask the rest of the question.
When asked why he stood up for him, he replied...
Or why should I help her?
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem to fit their current relationship.
Lu Shen immediately understood what she was thinking and told her what happened next.
"Later, I don't know where the Jian family heard about you. You were about to get married, and your father and stepmother started to covet your bride price."
Dowry? How could they even think of that?
They had already kicked her out of the house, so where would she get the dowry to give them?
Jian Ruoxi couldn't help but sneer. Some people's shamelessness was truly beyond imagination.
"Even if they find me, they won't get a single penny of the bride price."
She agreed to marry Lu Shen as per Old Master Lu's wishes, and the old man was planning to give her a generous dowry.
I heard it was a beautiful little island, but she rejected it outright.
"But trouble shouldn't befall the Lu family, so I'll take care of them for you."
She didn't hear wrong, did she?
Just now, Lu Shen admitted that she used to be a member of the Lu family?
And that was three years ago.
Even though Lu Shen didn't go into details, Jian Ruoxi could guess some of it from what she heard Jian Feng and the others say at home.
Lu Shen should first threaten them with force, and then use the insurance money to buy their peace of mind.
But the thought of her mother's money being squandered by such people made it impossible for her to swallow her anger.
"You want them to return the insurance?" Lu Shen saw through Jian Ruoxi's thoughts at a glance.
The reason he agreed to let the Jian family take the insurance money was simply to keep them away from Jian Ruoxi.
Since they are so disobedient, the money should certainly be returned.
"That was left to me by my mother."
Her mother left her very few things; they had thrown them all away before.
"Okay, I can help you."
He just wants money. He can send a few people to stand next to the Jian family and scare them half to death.
As she said this, Jian Ruoxi looked at him with disdain.
"Never mind, I'll do it myself."
Lu Shen was surprised to be looked down upon and asked in confusion, "What, you don't believe in my abilities?"
Jian Ruoxi shook her head. "I'm just worried you'll cause trouble."
"If you hadn't insisted on bringing me out for the inspection, I might have already swindled their money by now."
Just now at home, no matter how she tried to signal to Lu Shen, it didn't work.
It's better to rely on yourself.
"So that's what you meant." Lu Shen understood.
He slowly moved closer to Jian Ruoxi, staring into her eyes, and said earnestly.
"I just think that your safety is more important than teaching them a lesson."
After all, they had spent three years together, so it would be hard for him not to remember her habits and unconscious little gestures.
Although he knew she was trying to stage an accident to extort money, he didn't dare to take the risk.
What if she gets hurt? What if she doesn't receive timely treatment and something bad happens?
"Lu Shen, you..."
Does he mean to say that he is more important?
But was this his true feeling, or just something he said offhand?
Lu Shen reached out to gently stroke her cheek, but found that Jian Ruoxi leaned back slightly.
She still felt some resistance towards herself.
No rush. One day, I believe she will understand his true feelings.
I've always been on her side.
"Alright, didn't you want to get your insurance money back? Let's go back now."
"The Jian family hasn't left yet."
Go back and ask for the money now? How?
Lu Shen has ruined her plan to stage an accident.
Noticing the resentment in the eyes of the woman beside him, Lu Shen inexplicably felt quite pleased.
"Big star, the time to test your acting skills is coming soon."
At this moment, inside Jian Ruoxi's house, the Jian family members were still surrounded by bodyguards and had no chance to leave.
"Excuse me, bodyguards, can't I just go to the restroom?"
Jian Feng tried countless times to speak kindly to these men in black and make excuses, but so far these men in black have not given him a single word.
“Uncle Jian, you’re wasting your time. They only listen to my older brother; I can’t get them to do anything.”
The bodyguard in front couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard this.
Unable to be ordered around? What kind of joke is this young lady making?
The person who sent them abroad to find Li Tianlei a few years ago wasn't her.
The young master wants them to take the young lady back to the Lu family, but who is it that they can't budge no matter what they do?
"Miss, you're also a member of the Lu family. Don't you think the bodyguards will listen to you? Don't be ridiculous."
Lu Jin could scare Jian Feng, but it would be difficult for him to fool Jian Mengyu.
"Didn't you see? Me, the eldest daughter of the Lu family, living here means that I, like Ruoxi, have been kicked out of my family."
