Chapter 85 Don't be angry
Qu Xiang didn't press further, and pointed to the cake in her hand.
"Go inside and cut the cake. I want to see how the cake that Mr. Lu bought tastes."
Ten minutes later, the answer was available.
"Report food." Qu Xiang said with a look of disgust.
Xin Youran thought it was alright, "I think it's pretty good, it has a very expensive taste."
“That’s just your imagination,” Qu Xiang said. “If I covered up the cake box, you wouldn’t think that way.”
Xin Youran chuckled, biting her spoon; she had no idea what had just happened outside.
So, while taking small bites of cake, she blinked and asked Shen Li, "Sister Li, are you and President Lu alright now?"
Xin Youran is somewhat different from Qu Xiang and Shen Li. Qu Xiang is the strong woman type, and she is more rational by nature.
As for Shen Li, she had become quite adept at handling her illnesses over time. After experiencing so much in her five-year marriage, she had finally calmed down, no matter how difficult it was.
Xin Youran is younger than them and has not yet experienced the harshness of relationships.
It's inevitable to have a romanticized view of such pairings, where the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, and the couple is talented and attractive.
In addition, there have been dramatic incidents involving mistresses causing trouble.
I feel even more strongly that now that things have come to this point, it should be a happy reunion where everyone is happy and making dumplings together.
Xin Youran took out her phone and waved it, "After President Lu made his statement on social media earlier, LK Greater China's official account has just come out to explain."
Shen Li was taken aback, then picked up her phone to check, as she didn't often use these social media platforms.
At least Lu Yanchuan had an account, which was verified with his real name, because the company's public relations department had spoken to him about it.
Shen Li's account name was simply a jumble of random characters in its initial state.
But a quick search will soon reveal the post that Lu Yanchuan made earlier.
I also saw the explanation posted by LK's official account just now—
[It has been confirmed that this ring is indeed a genuine piece from our company's high-end bespoke Centennial Collection, with the serial number V00999. Thank you for your continued support and trust in LK, and thank you for protecting LK's design copyrights. LK will continue to strive to live up to your expectations.]
In addition to posting this, the official LK account also liked Lu Yanchuan's previous post, "I bought it."
Some netizens left sour comments below.
[The big boss is different; even the LK official has to come and fawn over him.]
However, there are more clear-headed netizens.
[What's there to be so sour about? You don't have to be a big boss. If you bought a high-end couture collection with a leopard number and were accused of being a fake, LK would be there to give you a thumbs up if you spoke up.]
Shen Li paused for a moment, then clicked on Lu Yanchuan's account page.
There isn't much content on the homepage. The most recent post is just those three words I posted not long ago: "I bought it."
Further down the list, it's all just meaningless reposts, mostly just reposts of content published by Lu's Group's official account.
There is almost no personal content.
Shen Li casually scrolled back and found that most of the content was forwarded from corporate accounts.
Just as Shen Li was about to close the software, she suddenly saw a photo.
It has been a year and a half since then.
The photo shows a clump of green plants with small purple flowers in a rustic earthenware pot.
The accompanying text was just a few simple words: "The weeds she planted."
Shen Li: "..."
When Shen Li saw this, she didn't know what to say.
The 'she' in the text is her.
That flowerpot was indeed hers, and she had made it herself; it was placed in the courtyard of the villa.
The plants in the pot were indeed weeds, but she hadn't planted them. After filling the pot with soil, Shen Li hadn't even decided what plants to plant in it yet.
After a rain, these green plants sprouted on their own, grew very well, filled a pot to the brim, and even bloomed.
Since Shen Li hadn't figured out what to plant, she simply didn't pull out the weeds.
And so, this pot full of flowering oxalis, also known as sour oxalis, appeared in Mr. Lu's camera lens and was posted on Mr. Lu's social media.
Lu Yanchuan isn't someone who likes to post on platforms, so while he has followers, his content is surprisingly engaging, almost like a zombie coming back to life.
There aren't many comments either, only a few hundred.
Some of the highly-rated comments—
[Mr. Lu's wife is so simple and unpretentious; she even grows weeds in a mud pot.]
[Was I scammed by the seed seller? I was scammed before! They said it was some kind of flower, but it just turned out to be sour!]
[A boss like Mr. Lu, he's bound to get scammed anyway, it's hilarious]
Shen Li looked at these comments and gave a slight smile.
Just then, a message popped up on my phone.
Upon seeing the sender's name, Shen Li was taken aback and felt inexplicably guilty, as if she had been caught spying on someone's social media.
The message was sent by Lu Yanchuan.
The message caused Shen Li's mood, which had improved after seeing the photo of the sour fruit, to immediately plummet.
Lu Yanchuan's message was simple, direct, and shocking.
I'll have someone investigate your mother's case from back then.
Shen Li felt that this message was incredibly heavy!
No, it might be heavier than a thousand pounds!
So much so that she didn't even know how to reply.
Lu Yanchuan didn't seem to need her reply; before she could respond, he sent another message.
Don't be angry.
As Shen Li looked at these four words, her pale pink lips tightened, turning a bloodless white.
"What's wrong?" Qu Xiang asked, noticing the change in her expression.
Shen Li shook her head. "It's nothing."
She knew that Qu Xiang cared about her and didn't mind helping her with her troubles.
But what happened to my mother back then was just too heavy and too tragic.
Shen Li really didn't want Qu Xiang to know.
Just then, Ji Linzhou came out of the house next door.
He had a work call to take, so he went to the next room to make the call.
They only came out now.
"You're back?" Ji Linzhou smiled at Shen Li.
Then she saw the cake on the table and asked, somewhat puzzled, "Where did this cake come from?"
Shen Li's expression was quite calm, as was her voice, "Lu Yanchuan bought it, President Ji, why don't you have some too?"
Ji Linzhou's expression paused slightly, but not for long before he smiled again and nodded, "Okay, then I'll try a little."
After everyone had eaten the cake, Qu Xiang and Xin Youran prepared to leave.
Shen Li looked at Ji Linzhou with a smile on her face, "Mr. Ji, aren't you leaving?"
