Lu Shen's words seemed to directly flip a switch in Li Anran's mind.
Li Anran subconsciously searched for the old lady's figure in the crowd.
Once found, she immediately knelt down and began to cry and plead her case.
She used similar tactics to Jian Mengyu.
"Grandma, you know me best. How could I possibly want to harm anyone?"
Jian Mengyu looked at Li Anran kneeling on the ground with a cold gaze.
She really didn't expect that Li Anran could outmaneuver her.
She continued speaking.
"I always considered Mengyu my best friend, but I never imagined that she had such deep thoughts and wanted to use me to hurt Ruoxi."
To put it bluntly, the makeshift emergency room was actually just a place for the servants to live.
In order to be able to hear the master's instructions in time at night, the servants' living quarters were often not very soundproof.
With the doctor adding fuel to the fire, it would be difficult for her to miss a single word Jian Mengyu said.
I initially thought she had found herself a little follower.
Who would have thought that a poisonous snake was placed at your feet, ready to bite you out of the blue?
As soon as things changed, they immediately shifted all the blame onto her.
Li Anran couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
"Trying to frame me?"
"Jian Mengyu, don't you even use your brain to think about who brought you in here in the first place?"
"Since I was able to bring you in, I am naturally capable of kicking you out as well."
Noticing the resentment in Li Anran's eyes, Jian Mengyu immediately felt uneasy.
Now that even Li Anran is on the opposite side, it's indeed a bit difficult for him to extricate himself.
Li Anran continued to exert pressure on the old lady.
"Ah Shen is right. This kind of person doesn't deserve to continue attending our Lu family's banquets. We should kick her out as soon as possible."
Only then did the old lady understand what had happened.
His gaze toward Jian Mengyu across from him grew increasingly hostile.
He gestured for several servants to come over, and said, "Get this woman out of here right now."
"Remember, from now on, she must not be present at any banquet where members of the Lu family are present."
The old lady's words effectively blacklisted Jian Mengyu from the Lu family.
From then on, it became even more difficult for her to climb into high society.
Even if she did manage to hook up with some big boss, it would be difficult for others to risk offending the Lu family by insisting on taking her to a banquet.
She didn't want to give up her path to advancement.
Two servants helped her walk out of the hall, but the people around her looked at her without a trace of sympathy.
Unwilling to give up, she used all her strength to break free from the servant's restraint and knelt directly at Jian Ruoxi's feet.
"Sister, I was wrong. I was bewitched. I'm not human."
I shouldn't have had any intentions that could harm you.
With each sentence Jian Mengyu spoke, she slapped herself on the cheek with a crisp, loud sound.
Everyone present could tell that she showed no mercy whatsoever when she attacked.
The onlookers couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
"This Miss Jian is quite ruthless to herself. She apologized without hesitation. She really doesn't mince words."
"What do you know? That's called being smart. If you don't seek forgiveness now and try to buy yourself another chance, you'll have nothing left in the future."
Jian Mengyu was so angry she almost slapped her own face until it was swollen.
But he still hadn't heard Jian Ruoxi say a word of forgiveness.
This isn't like my older sister at all.
Isn't she usually the most soft-hearted? How come she's so ruthless this time?
Jian Ruoxi glanced indifferently at her younger sister, who was making a humble plea.
Standing out from the crowd may be important, but is what you gain from it really good?
"The order was given by the old lady of the Lu family. I'm not a member of the Lu family, so what's the use of begging me?"
She will never forgive this so-called sister.
Someone who conspired with others to kill her and her child.
She's not magnanimous enough to forgive.
But Jian Mengyu seemed to have set her sights on Jian Ruoxi.
She doesn't ask anyone else for anything, even though she knows the old lady who gave the order, but the person who wants her to leave is Young Master Lu.
As long as Jian Ruoxi is willing to plead for him, there is still a chance to salvage the situation.
"That's why Jian Mengyu is so smart; she knows who really has the most influence at a party."
"The apology was quite appropriate."
This put the Lu family's servants in a difficult position.
They weren't sure whether they should pull Jian Mengyu away from her kneeling position, so they asked Lu Jin for instructions.
"Young Miss, what do you think of this?"
Lu Jin immediately saw what they wanted to ask and casually waved his hand at them.
"It's alright, don't worry about it for now."
"I think some people are probably hoping that Ruoxi will forgive Jian Mengyu right now."
The stone beside him couldn't understand.
"What do you mean by that?"
He didn't think Jian Ruoxi would easily forgive someone who wanted to hurt her.
Lu Jin glanced at him, giving him a look of disdain as if he didn't even know this.
"Think about it, what if Ruoxi wanted to let Jian Mengyu off the hook a little?"
“She doesn’t get along well with my grandma, so she definitely won’t ask my grandma for help.”
"Guess who will be more effective for Ruoxi to ask at that time?"
After Lu Jin explained it to him, Shi Tou finally understood.
"You mean, Mr. Lu deliberately waited for Miss Jian to come and beg him?"
Lu Jin shrugged helplessly. There was nothing he could do; only his elder brother would do something so childish when facing Ruoxi.
"Although there's a high probability that Big Brother's fantasy will be shattered."
After all, Ruoxi's expression hasn't softened at all.
"Mengyu, you should go. This will be a good thing for you."
All Jian Mengyu sees now is money and power.
She was completely unaware of the darkness hidden beneath these two things, and was only focused on climbing upwards. She was sure she would fall hard in the future.
It's better to say goodbye to all of this and live a peaceful life.
This was her last piece of advice to Jian Mengyu, given that they shared the same surname, and that she still had a shred of compassion.
The prerequisite is that Jian Mengyu can listen to it.
"Sister, you can't just throw me out because you have Young Master Lu protecting you!"
"At least say a good word for me."
Hearing Jian Mengyu say that, Li Anran was not happy.
"Jian Mengyu, watch your voice. What do you mean by saying that our A-Shen is protecting Jian Ruoxi?"
"Ah Shen and Jian Ruoxi have been divorced for a long time, and they have no relationship anymore."
Jian Mengyu looked at this self-deceiving woman with pity, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips.
"Li Anran, you don't still think that Young Master Lu has feelings for you, do you?"
"Anyone with eyes can see that he clearly..."
Before Jian Mengyu could say the rest of the name, Lu Shen had already waved to the servants.
"Gag her and drag her out."
“If she keeps being so clever, Ah Jie, don’t worry about her being a woman, teach her a lesson.”
