Chapter 122 Better to Die for Your Fellow Daoist Than for This One
Shen Li never expected that the inside story was like this.
No wonder Zheng Lixuan was so anxious on the phone, she was almost in tears.
That would be incredibly worrying!
"They've probably used up all their savings for their funerals," Shen Li said, suddenly feeling a bit better as she picked up a wife cake and started eating.
Thinking of what Lu Yanchuan had said earlier, it was for his wife to eat...
Shen Li gently pursed her lips.
Lu Yanchuan thought for a moment and said to her in a low voice, "Not yet, she's still holding the house and jewelry."
"Don't worry, the people Zhou Yan found are all professional teams from overseas. They are all very knowledgeable about psychology and are specifically designed to deal with people like her."
"We know exactly where her weaknesses and pain points are. We won't stop until we've squeezed every last drop out of her."
Lu Yanchuan originally thought that Shen Li might feel sorry for her, which was why she didn't tell her these details.
Because no matter how you look at it, Shen Li seems to be a person who is easily soft-hearted.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept up with him until now. Lu Yanchuan has been carefully reflecting on his past actions lately.
Looking back, it really was to the point where I would sit up in the middle of the night, slap myself, and say, "I deserve to die."
But Shen Li did not break with him, which shows that she is still soft-hearted.
But at this moment, Lu Yanchuan saw no emotion related to being soft-hearted on Shen Li's face.
Shen Li smiled and said, "This is the retribution she deserves."
Lu Yanchuan felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason. It seemed that Shen Li was not as easily softened as he had thought.
Being lenient with him might just be a matter of being more lenient with him than being lenient with him.
Shen Li was unaware of Lu Yanchuan's thoughts.
She continued, "She instigated Shen Wenzhong to orchestrate my mother's car accident. My mother died, and I almost died in that accident too."
“Now she’s instigated Shen Wenzhong to orchestrate your car accident…” Shen Li’s gaze turned slightly cold. “She’s had a taste of success before.”
"Not long after my mother died, Shen Wenzhong brought her into the house. She took many of my mother's things, keeping what she could and selling what she didn't like, replacing them with what she liked."
"Some of her antiques and jewelry may actually be things she took from my mother."
Lu Yanchuan looked at her with a spoon in his mouth, his gaze very serious.
Well, he actually quite liked seeing her like this... as if she was tattling on him.
This woman had never complained to him like this before.
Perhaps she knew that if she complained, he wouldn't side with her, wouldn't help her, and might even mock her.
So let's just not talk about it.
Lu Yanchuan sighed inwardly, "I deserve to die...!"
"It's okay, I'll get them all back for you." Lu Yanchuan gently patted her head.
Shen Li nodded, "Then I'll be going now, I still need to go to my master's house."
As she said this, Shen Li bit her lip, and Lu Yanchuan could see a hint of nervousness in her expression.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yanchuan asked.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Li told him, "I'm a little nervous. I haven't seen my master for several years."
Lu Yanchuan recalled how nervous she looked when she almost bumped into Old Zhong in front of his studio in that industrial park.
Lu Yanchuan glanced at the time on his watch. "I'll go with you."
Upon hearing this, Shen Li's eyes widened suddenly. "What?"
Lu Yanchuan took the last bite of yogurt and drank a cup of tea. "I'll give you a few instructions and we can leave. I'll go with you, so you don't need to be nervous."
Shen Li thought to herself, "Has he gone mad?" Her master must have hated him deeply. If it weren't for the fact that she had to work on a collaborative project between the two families to get married to him, she wouldn't have had to give up her pottery.
Lu Yanchuan said, "I'll go with you. Old Zhong is too busy bothering me to scold you. This is how you shift the blame. Be good, wait for me."
After saying that, he walked out of the office.
Shen Li stared at his straight back, blinked slowly, and thought to herself, although... but...
Lu Yanchuan's words seem to make some sense.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Li bit her lip and made up her mind to take him with her!
Better to die than to die myself; it's enough if my master scolds him.
Lu Yanchuan must have gone to the secretary's office to hand over some work, and soon returned to his office.
Shen Li looked at him, "Shall we leave now?"
Lu Yanchuan noticed a hint of excitement in her eyes.
He found it somewhat amusing that she had accepted being made to take the bullet for him so quickly.
"Um, I need to get something." Lu Yanchuan walked up to her and then knelt down on one knee.
Shen Li was taken aback by this posture, and her pupils suddenly contracted.
Lu Yanchuan knelt on one knee, opened the cabinet door under the desk, revealing a heavy and sturdy safe inside.
Ignoring the fact that Shen Li was watching nearby, he reached out and entered a few passwords, opened the door, and took out an exquisite box from inside.
"Take this as a gift for Elder Zhong. Maybe he'll scold me a little less harshly then?" Lu Yanchuan smiled.
Shen Li looked at the exquisitely hand-embroidered satin gift box, "This is..."
"A fine tea cake, a grade-grade tea I bought at the Yalide Auction House before." Lu Yanchuan casually stuffed the gift box into the bag containing Shen Li's gifts, and then helped her carry it.
"Let's go." Lu Yanchuan stood up, carrying the bag in one hand and smoothly putting his arm around her shoulder with the other.
Grade-marked tea?! Shen Li thought of those Grade-marked teas that could be auctioned, which would cost at least hundreds of thousands or millions of yuan.
And since his master was indeed very fond of tea, it has to be said that Lu Yanchuan's actions were truly catering to his tastes.
As Shen Li left the office, she was still a little embarrassed.
She didn't visit his company very often to begin with, and in the past, she had made some rather unpleasant comments.
Now, however, Lu Yanchuan is leading her away from the office early, with his arm around her shoulder...
"I... I'll walk by myself?" Shen Li said to Lu Yanchuan in a low voice, glancing sideways.
"That won't do." Lu Yanchuan wouldn't let go, he insisted on putting his arm around her shoulder until they left the Lu Group building and got into the car.
Somewhat helpless, after getting into the car, Shen Li made a phone call to Ji Linzhou and told him about her plan to see Elder Zhong.
Ask him where Zhong Lao is now.
Ji Linzhou pondered for a moment and said, "Then wait a moment, I'll ask for you."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
After ending the call, Ji Linzhou looked at the sprightly old man sitting upright on the sofa next to him, his eyes wide open.
"What do you mean?" Ji Linzhou asked him with a smile, "Do you want me to help you decline?"
Zhong Shaoyuan, sitting on the sofa next to him, glared at him and said, "Stop messing around!"
He raised his hand to straighten his clothes, then smoothed his hair, and turned to look at Ji Linzhou, "How do I look? Am I alright?"
Ji Linzhou couldn't help but chuckle. "Great, then I'll tell her you're here."
Zhong Shaoyuan nodded. "Tell her, and then leave quickly, so that Lili doesn't think you're in cahoots with me."
Ji Linzhou laughed and said, "Okay, okay."
