Chapter 155: You are the Demon Palace!
As soon as these words came out, everyone present changed their expressions.
If you think about it more deeply, you will know that this matter cannot be simply covered up by a single word of poisoning.
Obviously, either someone has targeted the Chu family, or there is a traitor inside the Chu family.
Either possibility is chilling. Since the former was able to poison smoothly and escape unscathed, he must be very powerful. Being targeted by such a person is undoubtedly a time bomb that may explode at any time.
For so long, it seems that he only wants to kill Cheng Zhibo, and it is not clear whether there are other purposes.
But Old Cheng has done a favor to the Chu family, and he will not leave him alone no matter what.
The possibility of the latter is relatively greater. If it is just an internal traitor, I just hope that he can be eliminated as soon as possible before a big disaster occurs.
Chu Mian's gentle eyes were now a little solemn, and he said in
a deep voice: "Lin Er, go check!" Lin Er understood, replied "yes", and left.
Old Master Chu's wrinkled hands stroked the cane in his hand, and the emotions in his cloudy but shrewd eyes were hard to understand. After a moment, he stood up tremblingly and walked towards Lu Jingshu.
Seeing this, Sang Enying hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man's arm and said softly: "Grandpa, slow down."
She often came to the Chu residence since she was a child. It was the old man who raised her since she was a child. This affection is unmatched.
Old Master Chu looked at her with satisfaction, but did not say anything, which was regarded as tacit approval of her behavior.
Sang Enying curled her lips and glanced at Lu Jingshu seemingly casually, with a smug look in her eyes.
Lu Jingshu ignored her and saw the old man walking towards her. She still stood there without being humble or arrogant, with a kind of arrogance and wildness that comes with youth.
Old Master Chu didn't show it on his face, but he was looking at her calmly. He was very satisfied in his heart, but... why did he feel that this girl looked familiar?
"I don't know how Zhibo is doing now,"
Lu Jingshu said, "The situation is rather tricky. The last time he was poisoned by the Dark Si poison, he has not been completely eliminated, and his body was still in an extremely weak state when he was poisoned again. I'm afraid that this time he can't just take medicine."
Old Master Chu didn't look too good, and asked, "Then is there any other way?"
Lu Jingshu frowned and thought, "I don't know."
This answer was too ambiguous, and her attitude was a bit perfunctory. Obviously, someone had misinterpreted her meaning.
"Miss Jingshu," Sang Enying said with a hint of meaning, "Don't worry, as long as you can save Mr. Cheng, the Chu family will agree to any conditions you offer and will never treat you unfairly. Now can you tell us how to save Mr. Cheng?"
Her words were sincere, her voice was gentle, and there was just the right amount of urgency, which made Lu Jingshu seem a little too greedy for money.
Although people came to help, no matter what, there were benefits, but this condition could not come out of Lu Jingshu's mouth, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Others more or less looked down on Lu Jingshu.
Lu Jingshu's face obviously became colder. Before she said anything, Chu Mian spoke first: "Ms. Sang, you may not be qualified to be the head of the Chu family. My girlfriend hasn't even finished her words, and you are being a little disrespectful. Don't you take me seriously?" His
usually gentle voice was now cold. Although there was still a faint smile in his eyes, his gaze fell on Sang Enying, which made people feel oppressed for no reason.
These words were too heavy.
Sang Enying's face turned pale in an instant, and she explained with a forced smile: "Brother Mian, you know that's not what I meant." Her
fingers were tightly clenched in her palms, and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly. She looked at Chu Mian's eyes, which were faintly watery, affectionate, and frustrated.
But in her heart, she was thinking angrily, I just said something casually, but Chu Mian couldn't wait to protect her. Humph, it turns out that Lu Jingshu is just cold on the surface, but she is a bitch who seduces men in her bones!
Lu Jingshu's aura became stronger and colder, her lips were raised, but the smile did not reach her eyes, only the indifference that seemed to come out from the seams of her bones, and she said slowly: "I, Qingzhu, certainly don't need money. Since you all said so, I can't help you for nothing. I think this house is good, why don't you give it to me."
No one expected that she would ask for Chu's house right away, and it was no wonder that she asked for it like a lion.
Now even Mr. Chu's face became a little ugly.
"You are too arrogant," Chu Menghan had long disliked her and said angrily, "You think you want this house? You should be more sensible and make realistic demands. Don't push your luck."
"Hey, I was wondering why I heard a dog barking as soon as I came in. It turned out to be you!" Lu Siyin's voice came before she arrived.
Chu Menghan was so angry that her face flushed. No one had ever dared to talk to her like this before.
"What did you say?"
Lu Siyin suddenly thought this person was quite interesting, and he actually rushed forward to scold her: "It's normal that you don't understand. After all, I haven't learned to bark like a dog yet. It's a language barrier. I can understand."
"You..."
"Yes, I thought pigs lay in the pigsty, why did you run out?"
"I..."
"How come you agree with my idea?"
Chu Menghan couldn't argue with her, so she started to call for help. She wanted Sister Enying to help her, but she didn't expect that she was so angry here, and she was still looking at Chu Mian with affection and pitiful eyes, without even paying attention to her.
"..."
Then she took Chu Xiao's arm and cried out aggrievedly: "Dad!"
Chu Xiao certainly couldn't bear to see his precious daughter being wronged. He was about to scold Lu Siyin in a stern voice, and then he met Zhou Zipei's eyes.
The man looked at him with a smile and said nothing, but Chu Xiao's back stiffened.
This is a lunatic, you can't afford to provoke him!
Chu Xiao patted Chu Menghan's hand and shook his head at her as if warning her not to provoke Lu Siyin.
Chu Menghan naturally also saw Zhou Zipei standing behind Lu Siyin. No matter how much she hated her, she could only bite her lip and swallow her anger in the end.
Lu Siyin did not hold on to her anymore, and walked to Lu Jingshu's side, and said excitedly: "Sister, I just heard that this house is going to be given to us. There is such a good thing."
When Lu Jingshu saw her, her expression relaxed and she hummed calmly.
"Wow! The Chu family is so generous! Thank you!" Lu Siyin looked at everyone and said sincerely.
"..."
The two of them decided the ownership of the house after a few words, as if they had really agreed.
"Ahem," Old Master Chu coughed twice unnaturally and said, "Jingshu, this is our problem. I think too narrow-mindedly of you. I know that you can come here partly for Chu Mian's sake, not for money and profit. But this house may not be given to you, because I spent a lot of money to have others design the layout here. It is well-intentioned and has special meaning. You young people may not understand these things and always say that I am feudal and superstitious. In fact, sometimes you have to believe it..."
As soon as the old man said this, he began to talk non-stop, with an expression of "this place has a great background" on his face, as if he was going to introduce you to the exquisiteness of this design, and his words were filled with disdain of "you young people don't know anything."
No one knows Lu Jingshu better than her: "..."
"I know." Lu Jingshu interrupted the old man in time, her voice firm.
Chu Mian's body stiffened, and he looked at her absurdly, with an indescribable strange expression.
Old Master Chu was suddenly interrupted in the middle of his speech. He looked at Lu Jingshu with some displeasure and said: "What can you understand? You are not..."
At this point, he remembered something, looked at her with a look of surprise, and asked uncertainly: "You, are you the designer "Demon Palace" at that time?
" Lu Jingshu nodded calmly: "It's me."
Chu Mian and Lu Siyin looked at her at the same time, and they were silent together: "..."
