When they arrived at the destination, it was already past 1:40. As soon as they arrived, it started to drizzle. Lu Yining was grateful that he was not too lazy. At least he brought an umbrella with him when he went out.
"Hello, are you Miss Lu?" As soon as she got out of the car and opened her umbrella, a man came up to her and spoke. From his attire, it was clear that he was the housekeeper.
Lu Yining smiled and politely replied, "Yes."
"Ms. Lu, get in the car first. I'll take you to Building 1. It would be bad if your clothes got wet while walking on a rainy day."
Hearing this, Lu Yining did not refuse, "Then I'll trouble you."
Ten minutes later, Lu Yining finally arrived at his destination. The three words "Building No. 1" stood out prominently. Building No. 1 was five stories high, and each floor occupied a large area. After getting off the car, Lu Yining walked inside under the guidance of the housekeeper.
"Madam, Miss Lu is here." The butler placed his hands on his abdomen and said respectfully in the direction of a blonde woman.
Hearing this, the woman smiled: "Miss Lu is here? Come over here quickly."
"Okay, beautiful~"
While answering, Lu Yining walked towards the blonde beauty: "I haven't seen you for a few days, you seem to be a little worried."
The blonde beauty turned her head towards the direction where Lu Yining was standing. Although her eyes were blind, they seemed to be looking at her. Lu Yining could feel that almost at the moment she opened her mouth to speak, a sharp light suddenly burst out from her blind eyes.
In just a moment, that sharp edge disappeared again, and the golden-haired beauty said calmly: "Butler, please go and do something else first. I'll prepare some seafood later. Miss Lu should like it very much."
This time Lu Yining was really surprised. After the housekeeper left, she asked curiously: "How do you know I like seafood?"
"Miss Lu smells faintly of seafood. She must have had lobster for lunch, right?"
I knock!
Can you smell this?
I changed my clothes before going out! You can smell this? Your nose is... a dog's nose, right?
"Beauty, your nose is really sharp~"
The blond woman smiled, but it was a faint, almost imperceptible smile. After a long pause, she finally spoke, "Did you understand anything from what Miss Lu said when she came in? Or perhaps... did you know something?"
"You must be annoyed with your husband's sister recently, right?"
Lu Yining didn't mind pointing it out directly. No matter whether he was eating melons passively or actively, as long as he could eat the melons and earn points for eating the melons, it meant that he was not wasting his time.
"But what has anyone told you?"
"No." Lu Yining shook his head: "It's just that I have great magical powers and know a little bit of information."
After these words, the golden-haired woman, also known as Jin Bi, remained silent. Her eyes were slightly lowered, her expression tense, and she remained silent for a long, long time...
Lu Yining was obviously not someone who could not sit still. When the other party was silent, she did not say anything either, letting the silence continue.
Finally, it was Jinbi who spoke and broke the silence.
"I've been having some troubles lately, and if you don't mind, I'd like to talk to you about it."
"Sure." Lu Yining said straightforwardly: "Of course I have to listen to the beauty's heartfelt wishes."
[I couldn't ask for more! Give me some melon-eating points!]
Lu Yining's brisk voice came into her ears on the wind. Jin Bi felt that Lu Yining had no intention of resisting and was really willing to chat with her. Only then did Jin Bi open her mouth and slowly tell the story.
"My husband and I got married when I was 19, and we have been married for seven years now."
"Over the years, we rarely argue. Basically, my husband will satisfy whatever I want. In front of him, I can be myself freely and unrestrainedly. But there is one person I cannot talk about in front of him. Every time I bring it up, he looks either indifferent or impatient, and directly forbids me to continue."
"His sister." Lu Yining spoke at the right time.
"Right." Perhaps because she'd hit the point, or something else, Jin Bi's expression was noticeably more agitated than before. "I don't understand. Aren't they siblings? Why haven't they met in all these years? Why is he so resistant when I simply mention the word 'sister' in front of him?"
At this point, Jin Bi took a deep breath, as if trying to calm herself down: "Once he was drunk and kept holding me tightly, but he didn't call out my name, but his sister's name!"
Seeing her like this, Lu Yining sighed.
Love, when good, benefits both parties. But when bad, it becomes both a bondage and a prison, always driving one party to madness.
"I know the truth, but do you want to know it?" Lu Yining said in a flat voice. "If you had been willing to investigate, you would have known the truth long ago. But for so many years, you chose to turn a blind eye. Now, are you going to change your mind?"
After a pause, Lu Yining continued, "If you insist on knowing the truth, then I can tell you now. But I need to explain to you that sometimes some truths are enough to overturn a relationship. Think about it first, and then tell me."
Hearing this, Jin Bi stopped talking. She fell silent, her expression changing constantly. Lu Yining didn't rush her, giving her enough time to think.
She was so bored that she would scroll through her phone and occasionally reach out to the fruit plate to pick up some fruit to eat.
"Tell me the answer." Jin Bi seemed to have made up her mind: "I can't escape anymore."
"The answer is, his sister isn't his biological sister. She was picked up by his parents when they were out playing when he was five. They've always liked each other, but they both know they're brother and sister now, and their parents wouldn't allow them to be together because it would bring shame to their family."
"But how can two people in love living under the same roof control their behavior? When you were seventeen, your husband got drunk and, emboldened by his drunkenness, had an affair with his sister... well, we all know what happened."
"But because of their parents, after that night, the two of them continued to do what they had to do, and no one ever mentioned what happened that night. Later, his sister couldn't stand it anymore and moved out alone."
"When he was eighteen, he met you and thought you looked like his sister. Coincidentally, you also had a crush on him, so he married you."
"You already know what happened later, so I won't go on."
After Lu Yining finished a long speech, he picked up another grape and put it into his mouth.
