When Han Mingyi saw the huge sum of money arrive in her account, she sent photos of it to Li Anran.
She was furious when she saw the photo.
They were secretly dating behind my back.
Li Anran glanced at Old Mrs. Lu, who was drinking tea downstairs, and an idea came to her.
She walked downstairs sobbing, picked up her luggage, and prepared to leave.
Upon seeing this, Old Mrs. Lu quickly had the housekeeper stop them, and then stepped forward to ask if they were willing.
She pretended to casually let Grandma Lu see the photos she had been trying so hard to hide.
Upon seeing the photo, Mrs. Lu immediately called Lu Shen.
"You wretched child, get back here right now!"
Lu Shen, who was drowning his sorrows in alcohol, heard his grandmother's angry words and staggered as he asked the driver to take him home.
As soon as the drunken Lu Shen entered the door, his grandmother struck him with her cane.
"Tell me! Why are you hanging out with that whore again? Did she seduce you with her seductive tricks again? You good-for-nothing!"
His grandmother's words brought him to his senses.
"You sent people to follow me?"
He was astonished and looked incredulously at the sobbing Li Anran and the angry grandmother.
"If you're upright, you have nothing to fear. If you haven't done such a despicable thing, why would you be afraid of being followed?"
When Grandma Lu saw her grandson like this, she became even angrier.
"I won't allow you to slander Jian Ruoxi like that! Why did Grandpa have an affair back then? Was it that actress's fault? She didn't even know Grandpa had a family. You pushed him too far; he couldn't breathe!"
Lu Shen had barely finished speaking when he received a solid slap across the face.
He walked towards Li Anran, and couldn't help but feel annoyed by her sobbing.
"Why are you crying? You'll be the young mistress of the Lu family soon. I'm just going to say goodbye, do you have to make such a scene?"
Upon hearing this, Li Anran stopped sobbing, momentarily at a loss for what to do.
"Why are you yelling at An Ran? She's carrying your child! You bastard, you'll never change your philandering ways."
When Grandma Lu saw him talking about Li Anran, she rushed over to defend her again.
"I don't understand why you dislike Jian Ruoxi so much. You make things difficult for her at every turn and mock her with every word. If it weren't for your constant interference in my love life, it wouldn't be like this now! I'm not going to this engagement. Anyway, it was you who announced the engagement to the media, and I wasn't there at the time."
Lu Shen turned to leave, but then he heard the old woman's wailing behind him.
He turned around with a headache, only to find another scene of chaos and disarray.
"Ah Shen, Grandma has fainted. Quickly help her upstairs."
Li Anran stroked her belly, deliberately reminding herself of the fact that she was pregnant.
Lu Shen looked at the collapsed Old Madam Lu and instantly sobered up halfway.
He felt he shouldn't have spoken so harshly; his grandfather's affairs were a sensitive topic for his grandmother.
He felt somewhat remorseful for reopening his grandmother's wounds today.
Looking at the culprit, Li Anran, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
That very night, she became pregnant.
He tried hard to take responsibility for her, but he always felt powerless to do so.
Lu Jin also learned that the old lady of the Lu family had fainted and rushed back to the Lu family.
She heard about the incident caused by Lu Shen's visit to the film set and wondered who took the photos.
But the chaos in the Lu family left her no time to think.
She had someone help her older brother back to his room to sober up, and comforted Li Anran, who was still sobbing.
She originally wanted to call the family doctor, but then she felt that the old lady's condition was constantly relapsing, so she called a doctor she knew.
When the elderly woman regained consciousness and saw that the doctor had changed, she became extremely uncooperative and refused to cooperate with any examination.
"I just don't want strangers near me. Where's my old family doctor? I want my old doctor to come see me!"
"It turns out the doctor's skills are limited. Why don't you let him examine you first?"
The examination was only completed under Lu Jin's insistence.
"Dr. Zhang, how is my grandmother?"
Lu Jin felt a pang of anxiety when he saw the doctor's solemn expression after the examination.
"Miss Lu, may I speak to you in private?"
Dr. Zhang pulled Lu Jin aside to a secluded spot before hesitantly speaking:
“Miss Lu, I think you’ve come to the wrong person for the old lady’s illness.”
Lu Jin was puzzled.
"The old lady's illness is in her heart, not her body. She is in good health and has no problems."
Dr. Zhang's words were subtle, yet Lu Jin understood his true meaning.
Was Grandma's illness faked? Was it to keep my older brother from having time to go see Jian Ruoxi?
Lu Jin felt a chill run through her body, and a wave of sadness washed over her as she looked at her grandmother peeking out of the house.
Back then, I also watched him leave by plane because I was afraid of upsetting my grandmother.
Only now do I realize that this was just one of my grandmother's usual tricks.
She went downstairs, grabbed a glass of chilled juice, drank it, and suppressed her anger.
The next day, at the crack of dawn, Lu Shen knelt down in front of his grandmother's room.
He looked at his grandmother, who was breathing oxygen in the hospital bed, with a guilty conscience.
The way Li Anran served him made him feel even more guilty.
She was just a girl who hoped he would love her a little more.
Lu Jin originally intended to leave the Lu family and stay away from these struggles.
But I really couldn't stand my grandmother making fun of my older brother like this.
She stepped forward, took her older brother's hand, and led him out the door.
"Lu Jin, what are you doing?"
Lu Shen was a little angry; it was she who had asked him to go to the film set to see Jian Ruoxi.
The photos arrived at the Lu family's house that night. Was she taking revenge for Jian Ruoxi?
"Grandma's illness was faked. Dr. Zhang examined her yesterday. I asked you to go to the film set yesterday because I suspected Jian Ruoxi was pregnant. She was hospitalized for many days, around the same time you and Li Anran were together."
Lu Jin's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in Lu Shen's ears.
He went out like a madman, opened the car door, and sped off.
Jian Ruoxi was inexplicably pulled out by Lu Shen to see what he had to say.
Lu Shen opened his mouth, unsure of where to begin.
Asking her if she was pregnant with his child was just Lu Jin's guess.
If so, what will he do? Li Anran is also pregnant, and Jian Ruoxi will not accept him.
He just looked at her with concern.
"You haven't eaten yet, have you? Let's go eat first and talk while we eat."
He opened the car door.
"If we're mistaken, we told you on set that we have nothing to do with each other anymore. Are you trying to have your cake and eat it too, wavering between me and Li Anran?"
Jian Ruoxi shook her head in disappointment and turned back to the film crew.
Lu Shen stood aside, watching Jian Ruoxi's every move on the film set.
Since he had doubts, he wanted to verify them.
Su Ziyu looked at Jian Ruoxi and Lu Shen, knowing that he might be exposed.
He did his best to help Jian Ruoxi, not wanting Lu Shen to suspect anything.
Knowing that Jian Ruoxi would feel nauseous from eating the greasy boxed lunches from the film crew, he prepared light meals for her every day.
Looking at their interactions, Lu Shen felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Despite their excellent concealment, Lu Shen still discovered many suspicious points.
