Because of this suspicion, Lu Shen developed a sense of distrust.
With doubts in his mind, he called Jian Ruoxi and tentatively asked, "Did we really have sex that night?"
Jian Ruoxi, already disheartened, became even more enraged after receiving Lu Shen's interrogation. She hadn't expected that after being framed by Li Anran, Lu Shen would now turn around and question her again.
"What do you mean?" Jian Ruoxi asked him, annoyed.
Lu Shen didn't tell her about having someone investigate, but simply avoided the topic, saying, "It's nothing, Li Anran had a miscarriage."
“Her miscarriage wasn’t caused by me. She pushed me first, and her fall wasn’t because of me either,” Jian Ruoxi said angrily.
She was taken aback by Lu Shen's unexpected attitude. "Are you now doubting that I'm lying to you? You think I'm not carrying your child, right?"
Jian Ruoxi asked him a pointed question.
Lu Shen neither answered yes nor no, simply replying with a perfunctory "It's nothing, I need to take care of Li Anran's matter, I'll hang up now."
This caused a rift between the two.
Lu Shen felt increasingly guilty towards Li Anran, and he personally went to the hospital to find a 24-hour caregiver.
He sat by the hospital bed, constantly comforting Li Anran: "Don't be sad, we still have time, and I have already arranged for you to see a top-notch gynecologist."
Li Anran hugged Lu Shen, tears soaking his shirt: "Brother Lu, sob~"
Lu Shen stroked her head tenderly.
After hanging up the phone, Jian Ruoxi tossed it aside, her mood shifting from aggrieved to one of disappointment, and she lost all interest in working.
Xiaoli overheard her conversation with Lu Shen and pretended to comfort her, saying, "Sister Jian, aren't you and Brother Lu trying to draw out the real power behind Li Anran?"
Xiaoli carefully observed Jian Ruoxi's expression as she spoke, and only continued speaking when she saw that the other's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
"I feel that Brother Lu did this in order to dispel Li Anran's suspicions."
Hearing him say that comforted her somewhat, and she replied to Xiaoli, "I understand."
However, because she deliberately framed Jian Ruoxi, Xiaoli felt very uneasy. In the coffee shop, she knew clearly that it was Wang Dawei who tripped Li Anran.
However, Jian Ruoxi was unaware of this because it was in a blind spot.
After finishing work, Xiaoli returned to Lu Jianming's side. Seeing that Xiaoli still looked uneasy, Lu Jianming comforted her, "Don't worry, this matter has little to do with you."
"Next, you just need to do as I say."
Xiaoli nodded.
Lu Jianming then turned to Bai Chongran, a subordinate who was familiar with fraud schemes.
Bai Chongran went to the neighborhood where Jian Ruoxi's parents lived and gave a lecture for the elderly. Everyone who attended could receive a pound of eggs after the lecture.
Jian Ruoxi's father, Jian Feng, also attended the lecture. After it ended, Bai Chongran specifically asked for Jian Feng's contact information, as well as that of several other people.
He sent a message to Jian Feng: "Sir, our company is now preparing to switch to foreign trade. We have some experience in this area. A few years ago, due to special reasons, we had to stop foreign trade, but we are planning to start it again recently."
Jian Feng was initially very wary and ignored the other party.
It wasn't until he went to the market to buy vegetables that he overheard the market owner talking to a man.
The man said, "I added the contact information of the boss who gave the lecture and invested 800,000 yuan with him. I didn't expect that I would make a profit of 50,000 yuan in just two days, which has been deposited into my account."
The market vendor looked surprised: "Really?"
"Of course it's true! That Bai Chongran, if it weren't for our friendship, why would I tell you?" After saying that, the man mysteriously took the dishes and disappeared.
Jian Feng immediately contacted Bai Chongran upon returning home, but received no reply for a long time.
The next morning, Bai Chongran replied, "I'm sorry, I've been very busy lately. If you're willing, we can talk in person."
After meeting, Jian Feng couldn't wait to ask Bai Chongran, "When will our company be recruiting investors again? I was busy with something recently, so I didn't reply to your message."
Bai Chongran said, "Mr. Jian, we are currently out of openings. If you are truly interested in joining our company, you can pay 10,000 yuan upfront as a purchase of equipment."
"Whatever amount you sell after that, I'll give you a 15% commission, how about that?"
Jian Feng couldn't wait: "Sure."
Within three days, Jian Feng received a rebate of three thousand yuan.
This thrilled him, and he chased after Bai Chongran, asking, "Manager Bai, I'd like to buy another 50,000 yuan worth of equipment."
This time, after about a week, Bai Chongran returned five thousand yuan to him and said, "The hospitals in downtown Thailand are just reaching saturation, and we are expanding to the surrounding areas. Don't worry, our boss just said there is another investment opportunity."
Jian Feng agreed without hesitation.
“Mr. Jian, our company’s investment is based on a minimum of one million. Is this convenient for you? If so, I’ll come to you with the contract now,” Bai Chongran coaxed him.
Jian Feng naturally couldn't come up with that much money.
"If you have any difficulties, I can help you get a loan, using the house as collateral, and the money will be returned to your account very quickly," Bai Chongran suggested from the side.
Jian Feng successfully borrowed one million yuan and transferred the money to Bai Chongran while he was at home daydreaming.
His current wife, Jian Mengyu, rushed back, hitting him while yelling, "You idiot! That Bai Chongran is a liar! He runs a shell company, swindled a lot of people's money, and ran away abroad!"
It was all just a pipe dream.
The house was mortgaged, leaving Jian Feng's family homeless. They had no choice but to swallow their pride and go to Jian Ruoxi's house to borrow money.
When Jian Ruoxi heard that they had been scammed, she immediately turned them away, saying, "We have no money."
Seeing that his daughter didn't care about him, Jian Feng, along with his wife Jian Mengyu and daughter Wang Juyue, went to the Lu family's old house to cause trouble.
He cried out at the gate of the Lu family's house, "My poor daughter is pregnant with your Lu family's child, but your Lu family doesn't care about her at all."
Grandma Lu pointed at them angrily: "If you don't leave, I'll call the police and report you for disturbing the peace."
"You sue me for disturbing the peace, I'll sue your son for rape! My daughter is pregnant now, and you won't even pay child support. You're shameless!" Jian Feng cursed shamelessly.
During the exchange of insults, Wang Juyue also stepped forward and shoved the old lady.
The old lady lost her footing and fell on her bottom, almost having a seizure. Lu Shen rushed to help her up.
Jian Ruoxi also heard that Jian Feng had come to the Lu family's old house to cause trouble, so she rushed over and just happened to see Wang Juyue pushing the old lady.
Lu Shen was furious and pointed at Jian Ruoxi, yelling, "What exactly do you all mean?"
