"Oh, the house is so lively today?" Just as the three of them were locked in a stalemate in the living room, a sharp, sarcastic voice came from upstairs. It was Li Anran and the old lady coming down.
Old Madam Lu looked at the three people downstairs and her face darkened without saying a word. Li Anran then helped her downstairs with great enthusiasm.
Li Anran saw a strange smile on Su Ziyu's face. She looked him up and down and then looked at Jian Ruoxi, saying, "Miss Jian, you really have some tricks up your sleeve. Using the excuse of recuperating at the Lu family's house to bring men home is really shameless. What do you think this place is?"
"Li Anran, what nonsense are you spouting?" Jian Ruoxi was furious when she heard Li Anran smear her. She glared at the woman in front of her, her chest heaving with anger.
Li Anran covered her mouth and laughed, taking a step forward and circling around Jian Ruoxi: "Don't you know what I'm saying? You did it all yourself, and you're standing right here now, don't you? Do I need to explain it to you again?"
"I have to say you're more impressive. You can still live in the Lu family after the divorce, and now you're openly bringing outside men in. Only Miss Jian could do something like this."
Jian Ruoxi's face turned red with anger at Li Anran's remarks. This woman was clearly talking nonsense. She wanted to step forward to explain, but Su Ziyu grabbed her arm.
"This must be Ms. Li Anran, the rumored white moonlight of President Lu, right?" Su Ziyu stood in front of Jian Ruoxi, his handsome peach blossom eyes fixed on Li Anran. Even Li Anran, who was used to seeing handsome men, felt her heart skip a beat. Fortunately, she recovered quickly and stared at Su Ziyu warily, wanting to see what he had to say.
Su Ziyu chuckled: "When it comes to seducing men, Jian Ruoxi is no match for you. I heard you only had a past relationship with President Lu, right? You managed to force a couple who had been married for many years to divorce just because of a past relationship. If it weren't for the fact that you're more skilled, you would be considered a top-notch mistress in the industry."
Su Ziyu's words were extremely offensive, causing Li Anran's face to turn red and white in turns. She never expected that this man would dare to call her a mistress in front of everyone, even though she had the support of Old Madam Lu.
"Hmph, Mr. Su, that's not right. They divorced because of incompatibility. Some people occupy a position they don't deserve, and when the time comes, they have to step down, just like Cinderella had to go back to cleaning the boiler room at midnight."
Li Anran tilted her chin up and continued, "As for Lu Shen and me, our relationship has been tested by time and the wrong people. When the wrong people leave, the right people are bound to come."
"It's ridiculous that some shameless people keep causing trouble here. They really treat this place like a brothel, bringing one back today and bringing another in tomorrow. It's ruining the reputation of the Lu family."
Upon hearing Li Anran's words, everyone present looked displeased, especially Old Madam Lu, whose expression was even more unpleasant. She hadn't expected that Li Anran, who was usually so well-behaved and adorable, would say such offensive things in public, which was quite an eye-opener for her.
Li Anran naturally noticed Madam Lu's expression. She felt a little smug. Putting everything else aside, Madam Lu was a person who cared most about face. If she knew that the woman she had taken in was doing such disgraceful things, she would definitely kick Jian Ruoxi out. Thinking of this, she became even more excited.
"Mr. Su is a well-known figure in the entertainment industry. There are so many good women in this world, why do you have to chase after a divorced woman like a lapdog? I don't know if you're blind or brainless."
Upon hearing this, Jian Ruoxi finally lost her temper. She angrily rushed forward and glared at Li Anran: "Li Anran, that's enough! Su Ziyu and I are just good friends. We work in the same company and studied under the same teacher. He just came to pick me up to go to the company today. If you keep talking nonsense like this, don't blame me for being impolite."
"You're welcome? How rude can you be to me?" Li Anran became even more excited when she saw Jian Ruoxi was angry: "You eat and live in the Lu family's house, how rude can a dependent like you be to me?"
At this point, Jian Ruoxi almost laughed: "You say I'm living under someone else's roof, but what about you? You're practically begging to be offered up, and nobody wants you?"
Li Anran was furious. Jian Ruoxi was right. She had been living in the Lu family for some time, but Lu Shen never even glanced at her. Even though she had tried to seduce him many times before, he just coldly told her to get dressed and leave.
"Jian Ruoxi, you're talking nonsense. Lu Shencai and I aren't as dirty as you think. I think it's your own corrupt behavior that makes you think so badly of everyone else." Li Anran said, then suddenly seemed to remember something and continued, "Everyone says that many people in the entertainment industry rise to the top by sleeping their way up. How many directors did you sleep with to gain your current reputation?"
“Li Anran!” Jian Ruoxi could accept Li Anran mocking her for the lack of affection between her and Lu Shen, but she absolutely could not tolerate Li Anran slandering her innocence here.
Jian Ruoxi's tone carried a warning. This woman was simply outrageous, spouting nonsense with just her mouth. Especially when she saw Lu Shen and Old Madam Lu's expressions growing increasingly unpleasant, she felt a little uncomfortable as well.
Madam Lu felt that Li Anran was someone she had never seen before. She wanted to scold her several times but didn't say anything. However, her opinion of Li Anran kept dropping.
Jian Ruoxi is a good actress, but she had done thorough research. She admitted that she had never really liked Jian Ruoxi before, but after seeing how hard this girl studied to become a qualified actress, Old Madam Lu's opinion of her had changed a lot.
So she knew that what Li Anran was saying was just trying to smear an innocent girl, while Lu Shen watched all this coldly, without intending to stop Li Anran from continuing to talk nonsense.
"Su Ziyu, did you also have something going on with Jian Ruoxi? Otherwise, why are you protecting her like this?" Li Anran didn't sense that something was wrong with the atmosphere. Instead, she became even more excited and pressed Su Ziyu for answers.
Her eyes gleamed with malice, as if she wanted to confirm the affair between the two men in front of her, disregarding even her image.
