The old lady was stabbed. It was a life after all, so her face looked unnatural.
"How could I have imagined that she would commit suicide? She agreed to leave on her own. If she had already left, why would she go looking for Jin Zhou? If Jin Zhou hadn't been anxious to find her, how could she have had a car accident?"
"If you hadn't asked her to leave, would I have had a car accident because I was anxious to return home?"
Lu Jinzhou's cold voice sounded, and he walked in slowly with a murderous aura all over his body.
Mrs. Lu patted the armrest of the Chinese-style sofa and said, "You've really grown up and become capable. You can talk to grandma like this."
"What do you want me to say?" Lu Jinzhou stood in front of the coffee table. "If I had been a step later, Nian Nian would not have been saved!"
"Did I make her commit suicide? I locked her up there for you. You've always been the best, but why did she have to suffer so much criticism because of that woman? If it was before, it would have been fine, but now she has no mother and no home, and that father is not a good guy either. No one can predict genes. She looks decent now, but who knows what she will be like in the future..."
"Bang..."
Before Mrs. Lu could finish her words, she was startled by the sound of a teacup falling to the ground.
Mr. Lu had used that teacup for some time, and even others did not expect that the old man would be so angry.
"Everyone in this family really indulges you too much. Do you want to listen to what you're saying?! Can a child choose their family of origin? Nianchu has already lost so many family members, she's pitiful enough, and you're forcing her to leave Jinzhou and locking her up. Do you think this is a TV show? When did you learn these tricks?"
Mrs. Lu had been spoiled by the old man all her life. When had she ever been treated so harshly? "Lu Tingxiao, you yelled at me?!"
"Are you two here to start a war to accuse me? It's fine, but who am I doing this for? I'm doing this for Jinzhou to find a good marriage. You all know what's been said in the capital recently, all the gossip. Why should Jinzhou be treated as inferior because of that woman in this important matter of marriage?"
"You are confused!" Mr. Lu was so angry that his face turned red and he coughed a few times.
"Marriage is ultimately about the child. Who he'll be with in the future depends on his own wishes. These days, I've been thinking that you should repent a little bit because of Nianchu's suicide, so I pretended not to know and asked you to reflect on yourself. I didn't expect you to have no intention of repenting at all."
"What do I have to regret? Did I put a knife to her neck and force her to cut her wrists? She's already mentally ill. Who knows how much trouble Jinzhou will have in the future because of her constant gloom."
"Mom!" Jiang Shuyin came back with Lu Jinzhou.
"You weren't like this before. Anyway, this is all your fault. Since you knew she was in a bad mood, why did you lock her up like that? Even a mentally healthy person would become ill if locked up like that."
"You're talking back to me too?" The old lady looked at her daughter-in-law, who had been gentle and virtuous for half her life, in disbelief.
"I did keep her locked up, but did I deprive her of food and drink? Three meals a day were delivered to her. If she didn't want to eat, could she blame me?"
Lu Zhiyuan felt that the mother in front of him was very unfamiliar. "Mom, how could you become like this? Do you think it's right to lock her up?"
Mrs. Lu nodded. "What did I do wrong? I just wanted to help Jinzhou find a good marriage, and wanted to support Shen Nianchu to create more opportunities for Jinzhou and Shuyi. How could I have imagined that she would be so fragile?!"
Jiang Shuyin: "But Jinzhou doesn't like Shuyi at all!"
"But Shuyi is simply better than Chen Nianchu! A thousand times better! Whether it's family background, education, or any other aspect, Shuyi is the best choice!"
Then he turned his gaze back to Lu Jinzhou, "The Xue family called just now. Why did you lock up Shuyi? Just because I locked up Shen Nianchu, do you want to lock her up too? Revenge, huh? Why don't you lock me up?"
"Heh," Lu Jinzhou, who had been silent for a while, sneered and pulled out a stack of documents from the file bag in his hand.
"Take a closer look, and then ask me why I locked her up?!"
Mrs. Lu took it, confused. Before she could figure out what was going on, she heard Lu Jinzhou continue, "Xue Shuyi is so kind, right? So kind that she orchestrated a car accident for me?"
Everyone was shocked. Lu Zhiyuan took the pile of information and flipped through it, frowning deeply.
The above evidence is crystal clear. It was someone bribed by Xue Shuyi who deliberately disabled the brakes of the truck brought over nearby, which caused the driver to have a car accident.
Mr. Lu frowned, "Is your information authentic?"
Lu Xingzhou watched for a long time, his mind nonchalant. "It's more than just a guarantee. During the days that Big Brother was hospitalized in Country A, he didn't wake up because someone drugged him. It wasn't harmful, but a drug that was added to his daily IV bottle, so he couldn't wake up."
Mrs. Lu was skeptical. "Don't talk nonsense without evidence. Shuyi is not that kind of child."
Lu Xingzhou slowly pulled out a USB drive from his pocket. "This matter has been under investigation for some time. All the evidence is clear. The evidence is right here. I detected this component in Big Brother's blood at the time, but because I didn't fully understand it, I didn't tell anyone."
"Xue Shuyi was trading with the black market in G City. The trader was her driver, and...she had ulterior motives towards Big Brother. I went to the ward before Big Brother woke up, and she even tried to kiss him."
As soon as he finished speaking, he received incredulous looks from the whole family, as well as Lu Jinzhou's... indescribable look.
Seeing his expression, Lu Xingzhou thought it was just like he had eaten shit, so he quickly said,
"No, no, no. I'm a die-hard fan of you and Shen Nianchu's CP. How could I let someone else dirty you? I saw her mouth was about to touch, so I pushed the door open to stop her. After that, I didn't go out until you woke up."
Even though Lu Xingzhou explained it clearly, Lu Jinzhou still felt extremely embarrassed.
Previously, Chen Nianchu said that Xue Shuyi had impure intentions, and he had solemnly clarified it at that time.
Jiang Shuyin asked suspiciously, "But over the years, Mom has asked her many times, and she always said she's not interested in Jinzhou."
Lu Zhiyuan: "Is this the key point now? I really didn't expect Shuyi to be so thoughtful. Pei An suffered a broken bone. If it was more serious, the lives of several people in the car would be in danger. How dare she do that?!"
Jiang Shuyin really didn't dare to think about what the consequences would be if it got any worse. She looked at the old lady who was completely stunned.
"Mom, do you see what kind of child Shuyi is now? I used to think she was a thoughtful child, but I didn't expect her to do such a dangerous thing. Our family has always been so good to her, and you have always loved her so much. Isn't she afraid that this matter will get out of her control and something unexpected will happen to Jinzhou?"
