The old lady couldn't figure it out, and looked at the evidence in her hands with her eyes.
"I've been so good to her, how could she do something so harmful to Jinzhou? How could she..."
"mom!"
Perhaps it was because she had experienced too much shock and was old, Mrs. Lu could not accept it for a while and fainted.
Fortunately, Lu Xingzhou was at the scene and after a checkup, it was found that there was nothing serious, just high blood pressure.
After Lu Jinzhou and the old lady woke up, they returned to Lanting Yaju.
Shen Nianchu was watering the white roses on the balcony. Lu Jinzhou stepped forward and took the watering can from her hand. "Your wrist isn't healed yet, how are you going to lift something heavy?"
"My right hand is fine."
"Go to your room and rest. You haven't recovered yet. From now on, let the servants do these things."
Shen Nianchu's expression was indifferent, "I planted it, so naturally I have to pay more attention to it."
Lu Jinzhou pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, and said softly, "I'm sorry."
Shen Nianchu naturally knew what he was talking about, “What do you have to be sorry about? It’s not your fault.”
Lu Jinzhou felt a lump in his throat. He would rather Shen Nianchu take his anger out on him instead of being so reasonable and sensible to the point of making people feel distressed, and being lifeless and depressed all day long.
He looks calm on the surface, but he has suffered from insomnia almost every night since he was discharged from the hospital.
He always knew that she was pretending to be asleep, but he was afraid to upset her by pointing it out.
"By the way, one of my subordinates said he ran into William in South Africa and said he wanted to come back to see you. He'll be in Beijing tomorrow. Do you want to meet up with an old friend and chat?"
"Yeah, okay."
Shen Nianchu has always known that Lu Jinzhou sent many people to find William, and she really needs William now, but she just didn't point out that she has depression.
Recently, everyone has been cautious in front of her, especially Lu Jinzhou. When she pretends to be asleep at night, Lu Jinzhou is always awake.
…
late at night.
Lu Jinzhou was called back to the old house by another phone call.
The old lady was too stimulated, had a fever and vomited, was listless, leaned against the headboard and beat her chest, and looked regretful.
"How dare she do that? I've watched her grow up. Have I ever been bad to her? She actually joked about Jinzhou's life. If she likes Jinzhou, why doesn't she say it directly?"
Jiang Shuyin now hates Xue Shuyi with a vengeance. "I've never had a daughter, and I've treated her like my own for so long, and now she's acting like the farmer and the snake."
Madam Lu: "If she likes Jinzhou, she can just say it directly. Even if she has always denied that she is interested in Jinzhou, I have been trying to bring them together. She..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Jinzhou walked in and asked, "What's going on?"
Lu Xingzhou raised his chin and said, "I can't persuade her. Grandma wants to see Xue Shuyi."
I thought Lu Jinzhou would not agree, but I didn't expect him to take the old lady with him directly.
Xue Shuyi was imprisoned in a warehouse owned by Lu Corporation in the suburbs.
There was a faint light in the room, and a man was sitting huddled in the corner in a miserable state.
I heard the sound of a lock being unlocked at the door, which gave me hope. But when I saw the person who appeared at the door, I felt really ashamed for a moment.
Madam Lu looked around the room. It was quite well-equipped with a bed, a table, and chairs. After all, she was still dizzy, so Jiang Shuyin helped her to sit on a chair. "Didn't you say you liked me before? Why don't you even ask about me when you see me now?"
Two bodyguards stepped forward and forced Xue Shuyi to sit opposite.
"Shuyi, did you really do those things?"
At this point, Xue Shuyi had nothing to argue about. She lowered her eyes and said, "Yes."
"Why are you doing this? Don't I feel pain normally? Does the Lu family owe you anything? Are you trying to kill Jin Zhou?"
As Mrs. Lu spoke, she angrily slammed the table and coughed in anger.
This made Xue Shuyi anxious. When she looked up, her face was already covered with tears. "No, grandma, I never meant to hurt him. I confirmed again and again that no one's life would be endangered. I didn't expect the truck to be out of control. I just..."
"You just what?! Jinzhou has been in a coma in the hospital for so many days, what was your intention in drugging him?"
Xue Shuyi also regretted, "I was really confused for a moment, I will never do it again."
Mrs. Lu's eyes were filled with disappointment. "Since you like Jinzhou, why do you keep denying it every time I try to bring you together? If you just tell me straight out, won't I help you? You really disappoint me..."
Xue Shuyi bit her lower lip tightly, refusing to say anything.
Old Mrs. Lu couldn't understand why she did this and wanted to ask her the reason, but now it seemed that she couldn't get any information, and this place was extremely cold, so she got up and left.
Xue Shuyi called Lu Jinzhou, "Jinzhou, I have something to tell you. Just give me ten minutes."
"I have nothing to talk to you about."
"It'll only take five minutes."
Seeing Lu Jinzhou stop, Xue Shuyi looked up at him and slowly said, "Jinzhou, I like you. I have liked you since I was a child. I like you no less than Shen Nianchu does for you."
Lu Jinzhou frowned fiercely, but said nothing.
"I know you've always treated me as a friend, but maybe it's because I've never had any other thoughts that I'm allowed to be by your side. I've thought of this a long time ago, so I never dared to tell you."
Lu Jinzhou opened his eyes, his sharp eyes filled with ice. "What does this have to do with you meticulously planning the car accident and drugging me?"
Xue Shuyi: "I just want to stay by your side, even if it's just for a few days. I never thought of really disregarding your safety. Now that you know everything, you should also know that the drug will only make you unconscious for a few days and will not have any effect on your body."
Lu Jinzhou's eyes lit up, "He was only in a coma for a few days?"
It was during the few days when he was in a coma that Shen Nianchu went through such a dark time. If it weren't for the car accident, he would have found Shen Nianchu earlier and she would not have been so desperate that she committed suicide.
Xue Shuyi asked with a hint of anticipation, "After all these years, have you really never had any interest in me? Even when Grandma Lu tried so hard to bring us together, you didn't even like me a little bit?"
Lu Jinzhou said firmly: "No, in the past, it was only because Cheng Che liked you that he allowed you to appear in our circle."
"Then have you never thought that we might get married one day?"
"The Lu family doesn't need a marriage alliance. Even if the Lu family needs one, I won't."
"That's right." Xue Shuyi laughed self-deprecatingly. "I know it's useless for me to say anything now. It doesn't matter. I'm just expressing the thoughts that have been buried in my heart for more than ten years. Whatever you want, it's up to you."
Lu Jinzhou didn't say anything else and walked straight out of the factory.
