Gong Yu's expression remained confused.
Jiang Li had already stated the reason, and in front of Gong Yu, she boldly gestured for Lu Jiming to step aside.
Lu Jiming: "???"
We don't play the self-destruct trick anymore.
Do you think that doing this will make my master believe you?
No……
This will only make him work harder to find any clues about my uncle's whereabouts here!
Lu Jiming was extremely anxious, but Jiang Li remained as calm as a rock, showing no sign of her previous panic.
"I told you to move aside, why didn't you react at all?" Jiang Li said to Lu Jiming with disdain, then stepped forward and pulled Lu Jiming aside.
Lu Shiyan's shoes were thus exposed to Gong Yu's eyes.
Before the two could speak, Jiang Li stepped forward and opened the shoe cabinet...
Inside the shoe cabinet...
There are at least three pairs of shoes belonging to Lu Shiyan.
After showing this to Gong Yu, Jiang Li continued to puff out her chest and say, "Third Senior Brother, these were all sent over by A Yan before. He was worried that I would be targeted by some people with ulterior motives if I lived alone, so he asked me to put some of his clothes in various places in the room. Don't you remember this, or did you not pay attention?"
Gong Yu's gaze deepened even further.
He knew about this...
but……
Jiang Li hadn't displayed Lu Shiyan's clothes and shoes before.
so……
Was this a deliberate act, or an attempt to muddy the waters?
The outcome is still open to discussion.
“Jiang Li…” Gong Yu gave Jiang Li a deep look, his tone full of helplessness, “You have the freedom to make friends, and you also have the right to let people stay overnight. If you choose to let people stay, even if they do stay, you don’t need to hide it from your third senior brother.”
Jiang Li: "..."
That sounds nice...
If I were to tell you everything, you wouldn't say it that way!
How long have I known my third senior brother?
How much of what he says can be believed? Jiang Li knows better than anyone else.
So Jiang Li forced a smile and said, "What are you saying, Third Senior Brother? How could I possibly hide anything from you? Besides, I haven't done anything shameful, so there's even less reason for me to hide anything from you, don't you think?"
Jiang Li's words were fine, but Gong Yu just felt that something was wrong.
Um……
Yes……
Jiang Li seems to be a little too well-behaved today.
In the past, if she encountered something like this, she would have exploded immediately, regardless of whether he believed her or not, and would have kicked him out.
But today...
She seems a little too...
Have we compromised and yielded?
With a thought in mind, Gong Yu said, "Perfect timing. Let me see what style of clothes Lu Shiyan likes to wear. Give me some advice, and I'll save myself the trouble of asking him."
Jiang Li: "???"
"No..." Jiang Li looked shocked. "Third Senior Brother, why do you care about Ayan's taste in clothes? Or... do you have some... ulterior motives towards him?"
Normally, a man would pay attention to another man's clothing style...
Whatever the reason, the purpose is always somewhat impure.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Gong Yu tapped Jiang Li on the head in an annoyed tone. "What secret thoughts could I possibly have about him? Have you forgotten that we're going to pay respects to our ancestral master in a while?"
"I haven't forgotten." Jiang Li looked at Gong Yu with a confused expression. "Worshipping the ancestral master is our business. What does this have to do with Ayan?"
"Don't think I don't know. That man Lu Shiyan has something to do with you. Are you waiting for the Ancestral Master to be angry if you don't bring him back this time?" Gong Yu was telling the truth. The Ancestral Master knew about their affair. If they didn't bring him back...
The patriarch might really get angry.
"I haven't even held a grudge against the patriarch for kicking me off the mountain, why would I be afraid of his anger?" Jiang Li straightened her back instantly at this thought. "It was because of him that I got involved with Ayan. Maybe it was all a scheme he planned on purpose!"
Upon hearing this, Gong Yu instantly sensed something different.
He looked at Jiang Li with a blank expression, "The patriarch kicked you down the mountain? What happened?"
"Don't you know?"
Should I know?
Jiang Li: "..."
It's truly a sad story.
Jiang Li simplified the matter, resolving the issue in two sentences: "Back then, the Jiang family wanted to take me back, but I didn't want to go. It was the ancestral master who kicked me down the mountain, which happened to smash Ayan's car..."
Gong Yu's lips twitched involuntarily.
It turns out that the patriarch was also involved in the affair between these two people?
For a time...
Gong Yu's feelings were somewhat complicated.
Originally, I thought that sending Lu Shiyan over would make things difficult for the patriarch.
Given the current situation, it's very likely...
These two were brought together by the patriarch.
"What are you talking about..." Lu Jiming didn't react at first, but when he heard Jiang Li's words, he remembered, "Is it the first time Jiang Li and my uncle met? No wonder you fell from the sky back then, you don't know, it scared me to death."
"What's there to be so scared of?" Jiang Li couldn't help but roll her eyes. "You didn't break your hand..."
“But you smashed the car…” Lu Jiming couldn’t help but retort. “I was so scared at the time that I thought the car was going to be totaled at any moment. I was on edge the whole time, but thankfully, I managed to drive home safely in the end.”
Speaking of this, Jiang Li suddenly remembered a question she hadn't asked before, "Why did you go there back then? Was it to go to the Xuanmen?"
Could it be that because she fell from the sky and smashed their car, preventing them from getting their business done?
“No…no…” Lu Jiming shook his head, his expression suddenly becoming a bit strange. “What exactly it is…I don’t think you really want to know.”
"I'm really curious..." Gong Yu said coolly, a look of anticipation in his eyes, "Tell me about it."
"Ahem... well... because my uncle is a workaholic..." Lu Jiming explained the situation rather tactfully, "and he's also quite ruthless towards women. My mother was worried that her youngest son would end up alone, so she's quite superstitious..."
"So...you went there...because..."
“My grandmother found a fortune teller to tell my uncle’s fortune…” Lu Jiming said, sighing slightly. “The fortune teller pointed out a road and gave a rough time, saying that my uncle would meet his destined person there…”
Seeing the thoughtful expressions on Jiang Li's and his master's faces, Lu Jiming continued, "My uncle certainly didn't want to go along with my old lady's nonsense, but he couldn't resist her crying, tantrums, and threats of suicide... so I acted as her driver, and was ordered by her to take my uncle to that place..."
And you know what...
That master really is effective...
This is why he, a good boy who believed in science, began to believe in the existence of metaphysics.
"So..." Jiang Li's eyes narrowed slowly, "your uncle is trying to get close to me because he believes that nonsense about me being his destined one?"
