Chapter 506: What she wants more is a “reduction in sentence”.
Just when Wen Jiu was lamenting that his brain was really not enough, Lu Yulan continued: "If you hadn't come, I might have done something even more excessive when I saw my wallet getting fatter and fatter. I..." She felt embarrassed when she said this, "Thank you so much."
???
Thank her?
Where did you say that?
Wen Jiu was a little confused. Why did Lu Yulan still thank him even though he had exposed her?
"When my father was alive, he often told me that one must have a conscience. If you hadn't found me, I don't know how long I would have been wrong."
"My aunt was trying to help me. She told me several times that I should do it myself to get through the current difficulties. I was disobedient and was blinded by the benefits. Please don't blame her and don't tell anyone about this. My uncle is the most face-conscious and fair. He originally disliked my aunt for being uneducated. If he knew about this, he would definitely make my aunt angry. As long as you don't cause trouble to my aunt and don't tell anyone, I am willing to accept any way you want to deal with this matter."
Lu Yulan's words were harsh, but Wen Jiu only found her calm expression funny.
"You are quite sincere in what you said, but didn't you know your uncle before? And didn't you think that there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and I will know about this sooner or later? When you did it, did you think about what would happen to your aunt if I found out and told others about it? Is she really as important to you as you say?"
"Can you check your conscience?"
"You are quite smart, your mind works quickly, and you are also very eloquent."
"But just—"
The corners of her mouth were curled with a playful smile, and her bright eyes were as sharp as a blade in the hands of a judge, leaving no place for escape. In Lu Meimei's frightened eyes, she continued, "You didn't use your little smartness in the right way."
He first threatened her with her words, and then after confirming her identity, he quickly admitted his mistake and said he was willing to bear all the consequences. He had a very good attitude and took the initiative to compare himself with other people, appearing very sincere. Finally, he brought up his father and aunt Chen Mei and took the opportunity to play the emotional card with her.
If she hadn't seen that Lu Yulan was too calm, she would have been fooled by Lu Yulan's words.
If Chen Mei was really that important to her, she would not have done this in the first place. Even if she had done it, she would have stopped as soon as the situation in the store improved. How could she continue to do it when the situation in the store was bad, and put new clothes in advance even though the wine had not been warmed yet, increasing the possibility of being discovered and implicating Chen Mei?
It would be a lie to say that Lu Yulan had no regrets, but her only regret was that she was greedy and did not stop early and was discovered. If she really regretted doing this, she would not say this so brazenly now.
Willingness to admit mistakes is just a pretense.
What she wanted more was a sentence reduction.
When Lu Yulan heard Wenjiu's words, her eyes were full of disbelief. She thought Wenjiu knew that she had to do this and was still so filial and admitted her mistakes. Even if he didn't forgive her, he wouldn't do too much. She never thought that her thoughts would be seen through by Wenjiu.
"How...how did you know that?" she asked involuntarily.
Wen Jiu replied: "Is that the attitude you have when a normal person asks for help?"
"Your face doesn't turn red, and your heart doesn't beat fast?"
"Still not humble or overbearing?"
"You're getting too carried away, sister!"
You have to play the whole game, right? It's a bit too hasty to predict the outcome before the matter is over.
After hearing this, Lu Yulan bit her lips tightly, her face turning red and white. She felt extremely ashamed, as if she was stripped naked and left under the sun in front of everyone. Her eyes wandered around but she didn't dare look into Wenjiu's eyes.
After a long while, he said, "How about this? I'll close the shop and return all the money I made from your designs to you in exchange for you not telling anyone about this, okay?"
Chen Mei is her only relative left, and the only person who treats her well. She now just wants to do her best to save her and not implicate Chen Mei.
As for this store...
Lu Yulan turned around and looked at the decoration she had carefully made in the store. It was originally thanks to the wine-warming design that the store was able to survive for a while longer. Otherwise, it would have been unable to pay the rent and closed down long ago. Closing it down now is just a way to get back on track.
Wen Jiu didn't refuse, "Okay."
There is always a price to pay for doing wrong things, she is not the Virgin Mary who can forgive everything.
If Lu Yulan had not been so clever as to try to get away with it but had apologized sincerely, she would not have done this.
After all, Chen Mei was good to her, and she would consider it for Chen Mei's sake.
This is what happens when cleverness backfires!
After leaving Lu Yulan's shop, Chen Can sighed: "You will suffer for your own mistakes. It is better to be down-to-earth."
If Lu Yulan hadn't done all these weird things, how would she have ended up like this?
Wen Jiu smiled and said, "Yes, if you don't do bad things, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door."
She thought it was a pity.
If such a smart and eloquent person could focus on the right path, the inability to pay the rent would definitely be only temporary. I hope Lu Yulan can learn from her lesson and start over!
When she returned home at night, Wenjiu still felt heavy-hearted, because this matter involved Sister-in-law Chen Mei. Although Sister-in-law Chen Mei did not rely on her to make money, she also took good care of her. She didn't know whether she should tell Sister-in-law Chen Mei, and how to tell her.
Seeing Wen Jiu looking worried, Lu Beiye poured a glass of water and placed it on the table for her to cool. He sat on the sofa, pulled her into his arms, kissed her face and asked softly, "Why are you unhappy?"
Wenjiu wailed, lifted his clothes and dug in like a woodchuck, howling as she dug, "I'm so upset, husband, what do you think I should do?"
“Ahhhhh, I’m so annoyed! I’m so annoyed!”
Lu Beiye looked at the big bulge on his chest and secretly felt amused. How come he had developed a bad habit of sniffing into other people's clothes after not seeing her for just one day? He reached out and gently patted Wenjiu's back to soothe her mood.
"Don't worry, tell me what it is and I'll give you some advice, okay?"
Wen Jiu lay on Lu Beiye's chest, his clothes wrapped her tightly, and the scent of his lips, teeth and nose made her feel at ease. Her irritable mood soon calmed down.
"That's what I told you yesterday! I found out my manuscript was leaked. Someone was wearing it before I even started selling it. Today I took Chen Can to settle the score with her..."
Before she could finish her words, she heard the sound of Lu Beiye taking a breath above her head, and then he pulled her out of her clothes.
"What are you doing?"
Wenjiu was particularly dissatisfied. Why did they suddenly pull her out of the situation?
She is lying there comfortably!
Lu Beiye lowered his head to look at the warm wine. At this moment, her face was flushed red, and she was staring at him with dissatisfaction with her pouting lips and raised her head. Her eyes were not intimidating at all but very cute, which made him feel even more angry.
"What do you mean?"
"Where did you touch your mouth just now?"
"How can I not get you out?" If he doesn't get her out, he will be scolded again!
