"Oh, you two didn't have a fight, did you?"
Lu Jinzhou was confused: "What are you arguing about?"
Although Shen Nianchu was angry and emotional because he had concealed Yu Wanhua's illness, she didn't mention it again when she came back just now. At most, she just didn't want to pay attention to him.
"It's about the trending search. My sister-in-law asked me where I'd been when she came to the company this afternoon. She was a little tentative. I guess she saw the trending search. Otherwise, why would she ask me where I'd been for no reason? She was just checking up on me."
Almost instantly, Lu Jinzhou panicked, "Why are you saying this now?"
"I was busy doing a paternity test, and I just remembered."
Lu Jinzhou: “…”
After hanging up the phone, he walked quickly to the bedroom, opened the bedroom door, and saw Shen Nianchu standing motionless in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, wearing a white silk pajamas, wondering what she was thinking.
Surprisingly calm, Lu Jinzhou couldn't help but slow down his pace, "Trending search... did you see it?"
Facing Chen Nianchu's calm eyes, Lu Jinzhou took the lead in explaining,
"I went to the hospital to look for Xingzhou. I ran into Xue Shuyi in his office. She had dysmenorrhea and went to get checked out herself. She was planning to talk to Xingzhou about something, but since her condition was too serious to drive, I dropped her off. The photo that went viral was of her not standing firmly, so I had someone take care of it right away. Other than that, I have nothing to do with her."
"I believe you," Shen Nianchu looked out the window.
"Because I trust you, I didn't question you even after seeing the trending search. You must have your reasons for not saying anything. I've been so busy lately, I don't want to argue with you over such a small matter."
Shen Nianchu was surprisingly calm, and his sobriety made Lu Jinzhou feel distressed. "You don't have to be so sensible..."
"I haven't finished yet," Shen Nianchu interrupted him.
"Because I trust you, I believed your promise and left my mother in your care. I believed everything you said without a doubt. But my trust is not the basis for you to lie to me again and again. I hate being lied to. After so many times, the sense of security I gave myself was no longer enough to support this trust."
She thought about it carefully and realized that there was no point in pursuing the matter further since Lu Jinzhou had concealed the fact that Yu Wanhua was ill from her.
She was very grateful to Lu Jinzhou. After all, it was Lu Jinzhou who took care of her mother wholeheartedly during the last period of her mother's life. Yu Wanhua probably didn't want her to blame him.
But this is different from repeatedly hiding things from her and deceiving her.
If this happens too many times, the trust will be greatly reduced.
Lu Jinzhou's heart trembled violently. Shen Nianchu had never said these things to him so seriously with such a cold face. It was like a final ultimatum. Even he was a little frightened.
His original intention was not to let Shen Nianchu worry, and he wanted to help her solve all the troubles, but sometimes being too cautious would accidentally hurt her.
Lu Jinzhou grabbed her shoulders and asked her to face him, looking serious.
"I don't want to bother you with some fabricated things at this time. The reason I didn't tell you is because some things haven't been investigated yet. I wanted to tell you after everything is clear. The photo that's trending has a tricky angle, and I'm afraid you'll see it and think too much."
Chen Nianchu took a deep breath. "Ever since you made it clear last time, I never thought that there would be anything between you and Xue Shuyi. With your personality, you would have been together a long time ago. What I care about is that I don't want you to lie to me when I trust you without reservation. No matter what it is, or for any reason, don't lie to me."
"Also, if one day you get tired of me, you can tell me directly and I won't bother you. I don't want to be kept in the dark like a fool and be kicked out without dignity in the end."
Lu Jinzhou frowned slightly and took the person into his arms.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Why would you think that? I really just don't want to make you sad and worried. I won't do that anymore. No matter what happens, I will tell you everything in detail."
Shen Nianchu's phone rang. It was Ye Huan calling. She left Lu Jinzhou's arms and answered the phone. "What's wrong?"
"Nianbao, um... there are some rumors online about you and Mr. Lu breaking up. The company just asked me to check on the situation. After discussion, we decided it's best not to respond. I'm going on a business trip, so please stay away from the internet for the next two days."
"Um."
Although the trending searches for Lu Jinzhou and Xue Shuyi have been removed, this kind of gossip will spread from one person to ten and from ten to a hundred as long as one person knows about it.
Fans were busy promoting the new drama in the entertainment industry, and now her name has been put on the hot search again. Those who understand will understand, and those who don’t understand will ask sincere questions with confused faces, but the fans won’t say anything.
Lu Jinzhou roughly looked up the situation online and called someone to deal with it. He was busy until Lu Xingzhou came to the door.
Seeing the results of the paternity test report, Shen Nianchu smiled, and there was a sarcasm on her delicate and pale face.
But as she laughed, tears rolled down her cheeks. There was not a trace of sadness in her eyes, but rather a sense of relief.
Lu Xingzhou swallowed hard, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that Shen Nianchu’s current state was not right.
Lu Jinzhou wanted to wipe her tears, but was avoided. "It's okay, I'm happy."
Lu Xingzhou took out the information from his bag. "This is the evidence we found that Zhu Man and Wang Defa had an affair. We also confirmed that it was Wang Defa who helped Zhu Man bribe the nurses at the hospital to add poison to my aunt's IV bottle."
"What?" Shen Nianchu looked at the two in disbelief.
Lu Jinzhou moved his jaw and said softly, "Xue Shuyi went to the hospital to tell Lu Xingzhou about this. That day at the funeral, I ran into Zhu Man who was on the phone with someone, and she was thanking the person on the other end of the phone for helping her get rid of it... This news was very important, and I wanted to thank her, so I thought of sending her home."
Lu Xingzhou: “…”
His desire to survive is really strong. It seems that he has not been coaxed yet. He really wants to explain at every opportunity.
But where is Shen Nianchu playing now and why does he care about why Lu Jinzhou sent Xue Shuyi home.
Holding the stack of information in his hand, his breathing became irregular as he flipped through the pages one by one in a daze. The more he read, the more he couldn't stop shaking.
She thought Yu Wanhua's condition was just getting worse...
Zhu Man, how dare she do that?
Lu Jinzhou hadn't read the information yet, so he followed along.
After a long while, seeing that neither of them spoke, Lu Xingzhou, unable to bear the solemn atmosphere, spoke up, "The dose Zhu Man gave is enough to kill a very healthy person. This is undoubtedly intentional homicide..."
It was not known whether his words stimulated Shen Nianchu, or whether she had just recovered from her disbelief, but she suddenly stood up, grabbed the pile of information on the table and was about to run out.
Lu Jinzhou was the first to react, and he caught up and stopped the man, "What are you doing?"
