"Li Anran, don't go too far. Su Ziyu is just my friend. If you keep talking nonsense, I will sue you for defamation."
Jian Ruoxi finally couldn't hold back anymore; she couldn't let Li Anran talk about her friend like that.
In the past, she had always tolerated this woman's attempts to smear her, but this woman's slander of her friend was simply too much.
Seeing Jian Ruoxi's agitation, Li Anran burst into laughter: "Jian Ruoxi, you finally couldn't hold back anymore, huh? You're going to speak up for your sweetheart. I bet there's some unspeakable secret between you two, otherwise why are you so nervous?"
After saying this, she excitedly ran up to Old Madam Lu and said as if she wanted to take credit, "Grandma, look at this woman now she dares to bring men home openly. Who knows, it might not be impossible for her to spend the night with them. If you ask me, this woman is really wicked."
Madam Lu frowned and looked at Jian Ruoxi, saying, "Are you and Mr. Su just friends?"
Jian Ruoxi nodded. She was really angry at Li Anran: "If we really had some shady relationship, why would I bring him home?"
Old Madam Lu was speechless after being rebuked by Jian Ruoxi's words. She frowned and looked at Jian Ruoxi, saying, "This is the Lu family home. Outsiders should be notified in advance before they arrive."
"This was my oversight, please don't be angry, Madam." Su Ziyu quickly stepped forward to protect Jian Ruoxi. He could tell that this so-called Old Madam Lu was not someone to be trifled with, and he didn't want Jian Ruoxi to be angered because of him.
"Oh, so you're protecting each other again. You two really have a good relationship. One minute you're protecting me, the next minute I'm protecting you." Li Anran seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold, continuing to fan the flames from the sidelines, as if she couldn't wait for the two of them to confirm their relationship so they could both get out of the Lu family.
"Li Anran, I've put up with you for too long." Jian Ruoxi finally couldn't hold back any longer and stood up: "What does it have to do with you that my friend is picking me up for work? Or rather, what does the Lu family have to do with you?"
"How can it have nothing to do with me? What you did was disrespectful to the Lu family and my brother Lu Shen. Of course I have to say something. Jian Ruoxi, if you are really innocent, why are you so angry?" Li Anran calmed down at this moment and pretended to look pitiful as she shrank behind Old Madam Lu and Lu Shen.
“Grandma, Brother Shen, look, Jian Ruoxi must be furious to throw such a tantrum. She wouldn’t do that if she didn’t have something to hide.” Li Anran even started to shed tears of grievance: “She only said that because she couldn’t stand others tarnishing the Lu family’s reputation. I was only doing it for the good of the Lu family.”
"If you really care about the Lu family, then shut up and stop talking." Su Ziyu rolled his eyes. Even with his good temper, he couldn't help but retort when he saw such a green tea b*tch.
"I must say that Ms. Li Anran's acting skills are indeed quite good. Why not consider entering the entertainment industry? I guarantee that if you perform normally, you will definitely become a big star."
Su Ziyu's words made Li Anran grit her teeth in anger, but she still put on a pitiful look: "Mr. Su, I really don't understand what you're saying at all. Weren't you pretending to be innocent in the Lu family? Why do you say I'm a good actor?"
Then Li Anran turned around and walked to Lu Shen's side, grabbed his arm and shook it: "Brother Shen, look at them, the two of them are bullying me, it's really too much. You can't let your ex-wife slap the Lu family in the face."
Lu Shen glanced at Li Anran gripping his arm and frowned in disgust. He had already explained to him why Su Ziyu had come, but Li Anran's words were like a spark, making him wonder if the two of them were secretly having an affair behind his back.
After all, he spends more time at the company on weekdays. What were those two doing behind his back?
He dared not think about it; jealousy and anger were driving him to the brink of madness. Looking at the two people standing together so perfectly matched, Lu Shen's eyes were practically spitting fire with rage.
“We are already divorced. If she has a new relationship, that’s her own business. What does it have to do with the Lu family?” Lu Shen’s words exploded like a bomb throughout the hall.
Madam Lu looked at her grandson in disbelief. Had this boy lost his mind from anger? He was so desperate to remarry Jian Ruoxi a while ago, but now he's saying these things because he's given up?
Li Anran looked at Lu Shen with excitement. A burning flame was rekindled in her heart. Did what Brother Shen said mean that he would never have any contact with Jian Ruoxi again?
Upon hearing Lu Shen's words, Jian Ruoxi's face turned deathly pale, and she took a step back. She looked at Lu Shen in disbelief: "What do you mean by that?"
"Miss Jian, didn't you understand what I meant? We are already divorced. You have absolutely no connection with the Lu family. If you want to meet with this Mr. Su in front of you, please go somewhere else. This is the Lu family's private place, not a place for your illicit affair."
Lu Shen was blinded by jealousy and anger. He was stunned when he said those words. He looked at Jian Ruoxi and saw large tears falling from her eyes. He felt heartbroken and couldn't breathe. He suddenly regretted that he shouldn't have said those words.
But he couldn't control himself at all. Even just seeing them standing together made him feel terrible, especially the thought of them working together and having physical contact made him feel like he was going crazy.
Jian Ruoxi wiped away the tears on her cheeks, her eyes filled with disappointment for Lu Shen: "You don't believe me? You know the reason perfectly well."
“Miss Jian, please be mindful of your status. What difference does it make whether Brother Shen believes you or not? You two have already caught each other in the act, aren’t you standing right in front of us? Do we need to say anything more?” Li Anran laughed blatantly: “Now, please take your lover and leave the Lu family to go somewhere else to fool around. Don’t taint our Lu family’s place.”
After saying this, Li Anran deliberately stepped forward and gave Jian Ruoxi a push, her face full of arrogance, like a rooster that had won a fight.
Su Ziyu quickly helped Jian Ruoxi, who was about to fall, while Lu Shen just watched the two of them, feeling bitter and frustrated, but he didn't say a word, letting himself torment himself.
