Lu Xiaoran was devastated. How could his elder brother have such feelings for Lu Wantang, who was once his biological sister? He felt like his worldview was about to be shattered.
Wang Yan's curiosity was instantly ignited. He had just been wondering if the marks on Lu Wantang's body were caused by Shen Zhou. After all, the Lu and Shen families had been discussing a marriage for a long time, and everyone in the circle knew about it. But now it seemed that the marks might not have been caused by Shen Zhou, but could have been caused by Lu Zifeng. Once the gossip was out, Wang Yan forgot even his fear, and even more so, he forgot that Lu Wantang's condition was entirely her own fault.
Shen Zhou was furious. He had noticed the marks on Lu Wantang's body the moment he approached her. Without carefully examining the severity of the marks, he had assumed they were Wang Yan's. While Lu Wantang was holding him, he had been trying to resist his instinctive reaction by thinking of 180 ways to kill Wang Yan. Su Yu had clearly revealed Lu Zifeng's feelings for her, and he began to recall the marks on Lu Wantang's body and the details of their past interactions.
He had always known that Lu Zifeng was hostile to him, and had previously assumed that Lu Zifeng cared about his sister and didn't want the cabbage he had worked so hard to raise to be taken away by others. Therefore, he was rude to anyone of the opposite sex who approached Lu Wantang, including himself. Although Shen Zhou minded, he didn't take it to heart. There weren't many brothers-in-law in the world who liked their brother-in-law.
But from the scene, it seemed that Lu Zifeng was hostile to her. It wasn't because he was worried about her brother-in-law bullying her, but because they were rivals in love and felt particularly embarrassed when they met. Judging from his possessiveness towards Lu Wantang, the marks on Lu Wantang's body were most likely caused by him.
Thinking of the intimate scene between the two, Shen Zhou's face darkened. But he couldn't turn against Lu Zifeng yet, so he pointed his spearhead at Su Yu, staring at Su Yu with eyes that were about to spit fire, "What's going on?"
Su Yu wasn't afraid of him at all, and the friendliness she'd pretended to have disappeared. "How would I know? I was just checking the surveillance footage with a friend, and I saw Lu Wantang and Wang Yan enter the lounge one after another. It's just that Lu Wantang seemed a little off, so we came over to check and prevent anything from happening."
"Are you so kind?" Shen Zhou had considered whether to calm Su Yu down first. After all, the person Mr. Shen wanted to marry was a member of the Lu family. But too many things had happened today, and he was a little irritable, so his tone was not very good.
Su Yu rolled her eyes at him. "I'm not doing this for her, I'm doing this for the Lu family. A man and a woman alone in a room, who knows what they're doing? If something shameful happens and outsiders find out, it will be the Lu family that's embarrassed. Even though my parents haven't been very kind to me, my grandfather has been very good to me. And today is my family reunion banquet, I don't want anything to go wrong at this banquet, bringing shame to the Lu family and causing trouble for the old man."
"Tell me what's going on." After contacting his family doctor, Lu Zifeng also joined the crusade.
Su Yu continued to roll her eyes. "I'm not sure what I'm saying. My friend disappeared after he came to the banquet hall. I couldn't get through on the phone. I wasn't sure if he left, or if he was lost in the crowd, or if he had an accident. So I told the housekeeper and checked the surveillance. In the end, I didn't find him, but I did see Lu Wantang. I was worried that something might have happened, so I asked Xiaoran to come find you. I came to take a look myself. That's what happened. Believe it or not."
Shen Zhou and Lu Zifeng looked at each other, and both of their dark faces looked at Lu Xiaoran.
Lu Xiaoran choked when he was looked at. Su Yu was really good at passing the buck, but now he was happy to take the blame, "Don't look at me like that. I was indeed with Sister Xiaoyu at the time, and it was her instruction to come to you. As for why you said that, haha. Every time Lu Wantang and Sister Xiaoyu confronted each other, no matter what happened, Sister Xiaoyu was always wrong. I told you that it was Sister Xiaoyu who discovered something was wrong and asked you to go, do you believe it? Just now, Wang Yan looked at Sister Xiaoyu, and you thought she did it. You have no evidence and you questioned her right away."
Looking at Lu Xiaoran's sarcastic expression, Lu Zifeng and Shen Zhou both looked unhappy.
Finally, it was Lu Zifeng who spoke first, "Then why does Tangtang know Chinese medicine?" He glanced at everyone's faces.
Li Xi and the others looked frank. They hadn't done it in the first place. Even if they had seen what happened, it had nothing to do with them. Who said that just because they participated in the subsequent drama, they must have seen the drugging process? It doesn't make sense, does it?
Wang Yan was enjoying his melon so much that he had forgotten about having someone drug him. He did not feel guilty at all, but rather a little excited.
For a moment, Lu Zifeng couldn't tell from the faces of the few people, and temporarily put aside his suspicions. He still had to investigate, but there was no rush. But wait, surveillance?
"You just mentioned surveillance? When did we install surveillance at home? How come I didn't know about it?"
Not to mention Su Yu, Lu Xiaoran wanted to roll his eyes at him, "It's been installed for a while, and it's such a big commotion, and you didn't even know about it?" Lu Xiaoran asked this question sincerely. Lu Zifeng is now half the person in charge of the Lu family. How could he not know about such a big thing as the Lu family installing surveillance?
Lu Zifeng choked when asked, "No one told me."
"I called Dad before I pretended, and he agreed. I thought that if Dad knew about it, the whole family should know about it. How come you didn't know?" Lu Xiaoran asked another soul-searching question.
"I don't know." Lu Zifeng said embarrassedly, wondering how come he knew nothing.
While they were chatting, the family doctor came over.
The Lu family's family doctor lives in the Lu residence all year round, but in a different building. Today, a banquet was held in the main building. In order to deal with the emergency, the family doctor was also in the main building, but in another lounge. He rushed over immediately after receiving Lu Zifeng's call.
After learning about Lu Wantang's condition, he prescribed medicine and gave her an injection. After giving her a few instructions, he left.
Lu Wantang's condition is actually very common in the wealthy circle, so family doctors usually have some relief medications available, and the symptoms can be cured after a good night's sleep.
After Li Xi and the others had had enough of the show, they said goodbye and left, leaving Shen Zhou and Lu Zifeng alone by Lu Wantang's bedside, staring at each other, unable to drive the other away.
Li Xi and the others had no idea what would happen at the patient's bedside. After leaving the lounge, the four of them returned to the banquet hall and continued their normal routine of eating, drinking, and gossiping with the three sisters in front, followed by a little tail.
As for Wang Yan, he'd already fled. As for whether Lu Zifeng and Shen Zhou would retaliate against him later? That was a certainty. But Li Xi didn't bother to worry about it. She'd just have Mian Lao Si keep a close eye on it. Once there were any results, she'd just post a post on the rich family gossip forum.
The real-life version of Tianliang Wangpo is so exciting for the netizens!
However, the most important thing now is the banquet. In order to prevent something like what happened in the original novel from happening again, Li Xi decided to cling to Mr. Lu's thigh in advance.
