The bald man's words don't count.
After thinking about it for a long time, she decided to keep her meeting with the bald man a secret and wait until she had investigated the matter thoroughly before making a decision.
However, Jian Ruoxi knew in her heart that although the bald man's words might not be entirely true, the woman in the photo had indeed known Old Master Lu since childhood, and their relationship seemed to be very deep.
The relationship between Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu has always been one of mutual respect and courtesy.
During the years she was married to Lu Shen, she was always puzzled by the way the two got along.
Although Old Master Lu was very kind, he never smiled at Old Madam Lu.
The two communicated politely, as if they were business partners.
She could actually guess that their marriage was related to their families.
Grandma Lu must have loved Grandpa Lu, otherwise she wouldn't still have such a deep prejudice against the actor.
Her pride wouldn't allow her to bow her head, so the two of them have lived a life of outward harmony but inner discord for years.
Lu Shen thought that Jian Ruoxi asked this question because she was worried about her future.
"You don't need to worry about Grandma's attitude. Just do what you like."
He comforted her and gave her the utmost respect.
What are your plans regarding Li Anran?
She decided to resolve their relationship as soon as possible.
“I will talk to her about it, but before that I need to find out what’s going on with her child.”
They all fell silent at this point.
Li Anran is an obstacle they cannot overcome.
She was always among them.
Throughout their three-year marriage, she was omnipresent.
Even when she was abroad, Lu Shen would still have her interspersed in various details of their lives.
Lu Shen fell silent. He couldn't understand why he, who had loved her so much back then, no longer felt the same excitement when he saw her again.
"Do you have any suspicions about her child?"
Seeing Lu Shen's expression, Jian Ruoxi tentatively spoke.
“That day when I came to find you, Li Anran said that she went out to find me and encountered bad people. She said that she was robbed and beaten up, and when she came back, she was covered in injuries. After she came back, she became a little mentally unstable, which is why I promised to pick you up from the film set but ended up breaking my promise.”
Lu Shen's words filled Jian Ruoxi with guilt.
If Li Anran encountered the thugs because she was entangled with Lu Shen, then...
What if the perpetrators weren't just robbing money, but...?
The child Li Anran is carrying now is the one left behind from that accident.
In order to keep Lu Shen, she chose to conceal all the humiliation and keep the child.
However, Lu Shen and he themselves did not notice her abnormality and continued to hurt her.
That's probably why she took the risk when she found out she was pregnant.
"Lu Shen, you should leave. We can't be so selfish."
She pushed him away with a heavy heart; she couldn't rub salt into Li Anran's wounds.
“You have to go back immediately, she needs you. If it’s really as we suspect, she needs help and emotional support.”
She is also a mother, pregnant with her lover's child, but she struggled and suffered for a long time when faced with relationship problems.
How can you calmly accept the child of your enemy if you are pregnant with their child?
At this moment, Li Anran's gentle and virtuous face must have been riddled with wounds.
"You want to kick me out?"
Lu Shen's words turned cold instantly.
"Yes, you need to take responsibility. If you were responsible for the relationship three years ago, you should have told me the truth about your thoughts, and I wouldn't have married you without hesitation. If you were responsible for the relationship three years later, you should have completely cut off contact with me when you asked Li Anran to return to China. Now, we are both very vulnerable because of your hurt. I'm okay, I have a child, Lu Jin to help me, and my own career. I can take care of my future. But she has lost everything, and all she has left is you."
She took out the ring that Lu Shen had bought for her when they got married and returned it.
"Let's end it completely, stop torturing each other. Lu Shen, I love you. But I'm so tired."
She gently kissed his lips, put down the ring, and walked out.
Lu Shen held her hand tightly, refusing to let go.
She turned around and, under his wounded gaze, removed her clothes one by one.
He held her down and spoke with difficulty.
Am I really that worthless in your eyes?
She took off her clothes expressionlessly.
"That's enough! You can leave now."
He stopped her, helped her put on her clothes one by one, and silently opened the door.
"I'll go find her and sort everything out. Wait for me."
Lu Shen said to her as she walked out the door.
Jian Ruoxi found it funny; the bald man said she was replicating her mother's path.
His mother and Grandpa Lu must have had many unavoidable circumstances when they separated. Even though they loved each other, they couldn't overcome the barriers between them.
Jian Ruoxi laughed self-deprecatingly, realizing that she was destined to be a single mother.
Fortunately, people's mindsets have changed and they are more tolerant now, so she can give her child a better future.
Lu Shen drove back to the Lu family home.
As soon as she entered the door, Old Mrs. Lu snorted coldly.
"Didn't you say you were going to sever ties with the Lu family? Why are you back so soon?"
Lu Shen didn't say anything, but pulled Li Anran into his room.
Grandma Lu stared in astonishment at the two people who entered the room.
You little brat! So impatient? Jian Ruoxi didn't satisfy him?
Regardless of what the old lady thought, Lu Shen closed the door and looked at Li Anran.
Her heart was racing, and her face was flushed as she prepared to serve Lu Shen.
"Whose child is it?"
Lu Shen's question made Li Anran turn pale.
"What are you talking about? Of course it's yours. Did Jian Ruoxi tell you some nonsense? How can you doubt me?"
Li Anran's tears suddenly burst forth.
“Then I can wait until the child is born to do a paternity test.”
He stood firm, staring intently at Li Anran.
She seemed flustered, and Lu Shen understood what she meant just by looking at her expression.
"I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were hurt so badly that night."
Lu Shen's sudden apology made Li Anran look up abruptly, tears streaming down her face.
"You... don't blame me?"
Her voice trembled as she gripped Lu Shen tightly.
He gently stroked her head reassuringly.
"Don't be afraid, tell me what happened. We'll face it together, I'll help you."
She shook her head in horror; she couldn't say it.
"I don't remember, it was too dark, too dark."
Seeing how frightened she was, he didn't know what to do.
"Child, do you want to keep it?"
Lu Shen didn't want her to make the wrong decision again.
"The child, the child is ours, ours! No, no, no, don't touch me! No one is allowed to abort this child. He is our child, Lu Shen, you promised to marry me, you can't do this!"
She screamed and ran out, her frantic behavior startling everyone.
Grandma Lu glared at her grandson, Li Anran, who had run away.
She's pregnant and still playing so recklessly, scaring everyone away and not caring about An Ran's unborn child...
