Some people never learn from their mistakes. What if her hand gets itchy again now?
I should have brought Ali with me this time, to see if Li Anran would still have the guts to cause trouble.
“An Ran’s words make sense.”
“Since Jian Ruoxi is no longer a member of our Lu family, she doesn’t need to sit or live here anymore.”
Although she realized today that Jian Ruoxi had been framed.
An Ran was at most someone who was fooled by Jian Mengyu and made a mistake because she was momentarily blinded by greed.
But she won't change her opinion of Jian Ruoxi because of what happened today.
I still hate it.
Li Tianlei, who was standing next to Lu Jin, couldn't help but laugh out loud in a sarcastic tone.
"It seems the old lady hasn't figured something out yet."
"If I remember correctly, this is Young Master Lu's private residence, and it does not belong to the Lu family."
"It seems that you shouldn't be the one giving orders here."
Only then did the old lady notice the man behind Lu Jin.
The person's face was completely covered, and she couldn't see their face at all.
But at first glance, she felt displeasure.
Who is this person?
Doesn't he know his own identity?
That's not right. He's already calling me "Old Madam," so he obviously knows.
How can they have no respect for themselves at all?
Jian Ruoxi also sensed something was wrong and began to speculate.
"Why does Stone seem somewhat hostile towards the old lady?"
"Or is it that my perception is wrong?"
The old lady turned around, faced him, and sternly demanded, "Yes?"
"Who are you?"
Li Tianlei sneered inwardly.
If he remembered correctly, a few years ago, the old lady asked him the same question as her first words to him.
At that time, the old lady even thought he was a spy sent by a rival company to set a trap for Xiao Jin.
Why is the old lady so nervous?
"I'm just a nobody."
"I have no identity, no status, and I just post short stories online when I have nothing to do."
"Fortunately, my story was appreciated by someone, and the young lady saw it, which is why she asked me to be her screenwriter."
Hearing what the people around her said, Lu Jin lowered her eyes, and no one could see what her expression was at that moment.
The old lady's questioning gaze lingered on the person opposite her.
Is it really as simple as he says?
Why did she feel like there was something hidden in what this person was saying?
Or is this just her imagination?
"Madam, aren't we supposed to be talking about Jian Ruoxi right now?"
It's true that as people get older, their minds don't work as well.
Why is this old woman paying attention to Lu Jin's screenwriter?
If you can't see a face clearly, that guy might just be a different ugly monster.
"Oh, I almost forgot about me."
She didn't know why, but her attention was drawn to Xiao Jin's screenwriting.
I almost forgot about the important matter.
“Jian Ruoxi, given your status, it’s inappropriate for you to continue living here.”
"Did you understand what I said?"
She turned her gaze back to Jian Ruoxi.
If Ah Shen continues to stay with Jian Ruoxi, he will only be held back by her.
Just like his grandfather did back then.
Therefore, she was determined not to let Jian Ruoxi continue to stay by A Shen's side.
"Madam, my current status is that of a tenant here. My relationship with Lu Shen is simply that of landlord and tenant."
"The rent hasn't expired yet, so I can leave whenever I want."
Jian Ruoxi stepped forward, straightened her chest, and said.
She had already been kicked out by the Lu family once.
Her current pride would not allow the Lu family to oust her a second time.
She did consider leaving, but you only did so when you actively requested to leave.
It was definitely not because I was kicked out.
"You!" Old Madam Lu exclaimed in shock.
Is this person Jian Ruoxi?
How come you've become so talkative and bold after not seeing me for a while?
In her memory, the old Jian Ruoxi would never have dared to speak to her like that.
A satisfied smile appeared on Lu Shen's face.
He was really worried that she would agree to his grandmother's offer to send Jian Ruoxi away.
Unexpectedly, she gave me such a big surprise.
It turns out that Ruoxi has always had her own sharp edge.
She had been worn down by life and his deliberate indifference, but now she has finally revealed her claws.
Seizing the opportunity, Li Anran went to the old lady's side and helped her up.
"Ruoxi, no matter what, you can't talk to Grandma like that."
Turning her head, she pretended to be concerned for Jian Ruoxi and spoke up for Jian Ruoxi in front of the old lady.
"Grandma, don't be angry. I believe Ruoxi didn't mean what she said just now."
"She must still have feelings for Ah Shen and is reluctant to leave."
Lu Shen narrowed his eyes and glanced casually at Li Anran.
Throughout the entire night, this was the only sentence she said that was somewhat to his liking.
If Ruoxi really stayed here because of him.
He'd probably laugh himself awake in his dreams.
As soon as Li Anran finished speaking, the old lady's anger did not subside; instead, she became even angrier.
His hand was trembling as he pointed at Jian Ruoxi.
“Madam, I advise you to listen less to Li Anran’s words. I am speaking the truth, while hers are just random guesses and should not be taken seriously.”
If this continued, she was genuinely worried that the old lady would faint.
That would be a serious matter, and Li Anran would definitely not miss this opportunity to kick someone when they're down.
Who knows, the next day's newspaper headlines might read: "Popular actress makes the Lu family's matriarch faint from anger."
She'll have to put in a lot of effort to explain later.
Seeing that his grandmother still wanted to say bad things about Ruoxi, Lu Jin was about to step forward.
Suddenly, the person behind her grabbed her arm.
"Xiao Jin, if you go there now, wouldn't you be leaving no chance for your older brother?"
"Do you still want your older brother and Ruoxi to reconcile?"
She thought about it carefully and it seemed to make sense.
If I do everything myself, what's the point of having an older brother?
The older brother has to take the lead in winning back his wife.
"I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it."
She suddenly turned her head and looked up into the eyes of the man opposite her.
"So, is that what you think too?"
Li Tianlei involuntarily took a step back, feeling somewhat guilty under Xiao Jin's probing gaze.
"Wh-what?"
Lu Jin smiled knowingly.
"That's what you just said."
"You have to do the pursuing of your wife yourself."
"So, I'm quite curious, if you were in the same situation as my older brother, would you do the same?"
Faced with Xiao Jin's persistent questioning, he swallowed hard.
The person he had longed for for years was right in front of him, but he didn't even have the courage to admit who it was.
"Yes, if it were me, I would do the same."
"If you lose your loved one halfway through your journey, you will do everything in your power to win her back."
That's exactly what he's doing now.
"I know that your answer is the same as what I guessed."
