Chapter 149 "You're so stupid, what could you possibly think of?"
Yan Zhao received a call from Lu Jinghuai after escaping Wen Chao's hospital room.
Where are you now?
His voice was cold, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.
Yan Zhao's eyes welled up with tears when she heard his cold voice.
"I just finished watching Ah Xu."
"I'll give you an address, come over right now!"
Lu Jinghuai's words were not a suggestion, but more like an order.
After saying that, he hung up the phone without giving Yan Zhao any time to react.
Yan Zhao felt like crying instantly.
Lu Jinghuai became increasingly indifferent to her.
I don't even want to say another word to her now.
Ah Xu is her younger brother. He was inexplicably beaten and hospitalized, and Lu Jinghuai didn't even ask him a single question.
No matter what, they are still husband and wife.
Although she felt wronged, Yan Zhao quickly composed herself.
As soon as Yan Zhao arrived at the address given by Lu Jinghuai, she was led to a private room.
Lu Jinghuai sat upright with a blank expression, his gaze towards her icy cold.
Yan Zhao asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
After asking that question, Yan Zhao realized that the clubhouse looked somewhat familiar.
She used to often meet up with her friends here.
A familiar voice suddenly came from the next private room.
"Sister Linlin, you're closest to Yan Zhao... Is that story true or false?"
Sister Linlin: "Of course it's true, Zhaozhao told me herself!"
"On the first day of the Lunar New Year, she witnessed the ambiguous relationship between the Wen siblings at the Wen family home."
"You know, the merchant was there that day too. The two of them didn't try to hide it at all; they were really impatient."
"But thinking about it, it makes sense, after all, it's been a 'brother-sister relationship' for many years."
When the topic of 'sibling relationship' came up, his tone became sarcastic and unpleasant.
The people around them started laughing.
Yan Zhao's face turned ashen, and he stood frozen in place as if struck by lightning.
What is Linlin saying? I can't understand her!
Yan Zhao subconsciously looked at Lu Jinghuai and said helplessly, "I didn't!"
"I never said that!"
At that moment, she experienced the feeling of being unable to defend herself.
There was even a strange sense of panic and unease.
Why did Linlin slander her?
Lu Jinghuai's cold face remained expressionless as he slowly stood up.
The laughter continued in the next room.
"What's so special about this? In the Zhao family of Lincheng, the mother-in-law and son-in-law had a child, but it's still registered under their daughter's name."
"At least Wenzhou and Wenxi aren't blood siblings..."
"Who are you?!"
Screams rang out.
Someone suddenly barged in and forcibly took Linlin away.
Yan Zhao recognized the leader as Lu Jinghuai's secretary.
As if finally regaining consciousness, she took two steps forward and tried to grab Lu Jinghuai's sleeve.
"I really didn't say those things. Linlin is talking nonsense. I don't know why she's framing me!"
"Jinghuai, you have to believe me!"
Lu Jinghuai looked down at her, his cold gaze carrying complex emotions that Yan Zhao couldn't understand.
"You went to see the Wen family's illegitimate daughter in private?"
Yan Zhao's eyelids twitched, and she subconsciously denied it.
"No!"
The matter of being wronged by Sister Linlin hasn't been clarified yet. If she admits to having met Wen Chao, Lu Jinghuai will definitely dislike her even more.
"No?"
Lu Jinghuai's calm voice rose slightly, carrying a hint of sarcasm.
He took out a voice recorder, turned on the recording, and played it for Yan Zhao.
Yan Zhao: [And she's a lawyer, doesn't she know that assault is illegal?]
Wen Chao: [These two siblings disregard laws and ethics, and have done even more despicable things. What's wrong with them hitting me?]
Yan Zhao: [You can't beat them anyway, why bother?]
Wen Chao: [It's not that I want to fight them, it's that I know their dirty secrets, and they can't tolerate me. Even if you're Wen Zhou's own sister, isn't it the same?]
Yan Zhao: [Yes, he did go a bit too far.]
Yan Zhao's expression went from bewilderment to shock.
She wanted to explain and clarify, but she didn't know where to begin.
"I have met Wen Chao, but that's not what I talked about with her!"
She was so anxious that she broke out in a sweat.
"Some of what I said here was indeed mine, but the original conversation and meaning were not like this..."
"I didn't say that..."
Yan Zhao hated himself for being so tongue-tied; he had been framed but couldn't even offer a proper explanation.
Lu Jinghuai stared at her coolly, not questioning her about the recording, but only asking in a calm voice, "Do you still remember what you promised me?"
"Behave yourself, do nothing, say nothing?"
"You agree verbally, but then you completely forget what you said."
"You've done things you shouldn't have done, and you've said things you shouldn't have said."
Yan Zhao cried, "That recording is fake! It was maliciously edited! Someone is trying to harm me!"
Lu Jinghuai looked down at him and said, "Of course I know the recording has been edited."
Yan Zhao was stunned and stared blankly at Lu Jinghuai.
"But if you hadn't gone to see Wen Chao on your own, how would she have had the opportunity to fabricate a fake recording?"
Yan Zhao: "I...I didn't expect her to do this."
Lu Jinghuai rarely showed a hint of disgust, "You're so stupid, what could you possibly think of?"
Yan Zhao looked completely bewildered.
She never expected that the man she had liked for so many years would call her stupid to her face.
This sense of humiliation was stronger than it had been at any other moment in her life.
Yan Zhao was still unable to explain: "I saw that Wen Zhou punished her by making her kneel in the snow, which was too harsh, so I wanted to go see her and apologize on Wen Zhou's behalf... I didn't expect that she would secretly record the conversation and tamper with it."
"I know I was wrong, I'm going to find her..."
Lu Jinghuai stared coldly at Yan Zhao, his expression so indifferent it was almost eerie.
"Shang Chen knows you're stupid, so he came here specifically to remind me to keep an eye on you."
“I know you’re stupid, so I warned you early on.”
"No matter how much we tried to prevent it, you were still incredibly stupid and ran right up to the Wen family's illegitimate daughter, eagerly letting yourself be schemed against."
At this point, Lu Jinghuai had become numb.
He couldn't possibly send someone to follow Yan Zhao around every step of the way.
