Jiang Chu Nian was speechless.
She had just woken up and hadn't even had dinner yet, yet he caught her and told her something. How could he do that?
Even Huang Shiren wasn't as exaggerated as him.
Jiang Chu Nian refused rudely: "Sorry, we don't talk about business during dinner time."
Jiang Chunian turned around and left after saying this.
No matter how powerful the Lin family is, Jiang Chunian will not let Lin Siyu's affairs get to the point where they are urgent.
"Miss Jiang," Lin Sixian called her, "Please stay."
Jiang Chunian turned around, his expression already very bad: "Boss Lin, you'd better have a very good reason."
Lin Sixian smiled faintly: "Jiang Chunian, I have asked someone to prepare the meal. Please."
Jiang Chunian's expression finally softened: "Very good, that's a good reason."
Jiang Chunian followed Lin Sixian to his suite, and sure enough, the restaurant had already prepared the meal.
Lin Sixian pulled out a chair and asked Jiang Chunian to sit down.
Jiang Chunian asked curiously, "How do you know when I wake up?"
Lin Sixian sat down across from Jiang Chunian and replied, "I don't know. I'm just preparing."
I change the food when it gets cold and I can always wait until she wakes up.
Jiang Chu Nian: "You are thoughtful."
Lin Sixian: "Please eat, otherwise the food will get cold."
Jiang Chunian was really hungry, so he didn't bother to be polite with him.
After dinner, the two moved to the living room. Soon someone came in and cleaned up the restaurant, leaving only two people in the suite.
There was a set of Kung Fu tea sets on the coffee table. Lin Sixian looked at Jiang Chunian and asked, "Would you like some tea?"
"Anything is fine." Jiang Chunian answered casually.
Lin Sixian began to boil water and prepare tea, while talking about business: "When I sent you here before, I mentioned the matter of the eight characters. The blood jade bracelet was given to Zhou Jianhong by the old lady of the Lu family. Later, Zhou Jianhong gave it to Siyu as a token of inheritance for the daughter-in-law of the Lu family. Therefore, Zhou Jianhong must have known about this matter and was even the mastermind."
Jiang Chunian, now well fed and well rested, was thinking much faster than before. Upon hearing this, he asked, "Did Zhou Jianhong wear this blood jade bracelet every day? Is it possible that Zhou Jianhong rarely wears it, and someone knew she was going to give it to Miss Lin at the engagement party, so they took advantage of Zhou Jianhong's inattention and secretly tampered with it?"
"I've considered this possibility, but I asked my mother, and she said that Zhou Jianhong did wear the blood jade bracelet every day for decades." Lin Sixian took over Jiang Chunian's words.
Jiang Chunian raised an eyebrow. "Really? I thought noble ladies like these would have more than one piece of jewelry. It's impossible for them to wear the same piece of jewelry for decades. I didn't expect her to be so nostalgic."
"You can't say it's out of nostalgia," Lin Sixian explained. "Zhou Jianhong always wore this blood jade bracelet before. Firstly, it was passed down to her by the old lady of the Lu family as a family heirloom, a recognition of her status as the wife of the Lu family. The blood jade bracelet itself is also of top quality. Even if she wears it every day, it won't lose its class.
Secondly, her relationship with her husband, Lu Jianjun, was not as loving as rumored. While Lu Jianjun appeared to be a decent person, he secretly had numerous mistresses and paternal children. It was said that in the first few years of their marriage, a mistress would arrogantly approach her, trying to force her to divorce Lu Jianjun so she could take over.
Lu Jianjun was also ridiculous at that time. He even allowed the mistress to provoke Zhou Jianhong. Zhou Jianhong was harassed so badly at that time that she was ridiculed when she went out for social events. So she wore the blood jade bracelet every day to comfort herself that she was the young lady recognized by the Lu family. No matter how violent Lu Jianjun was outside, she was still the young lady of the Lu family. Not just any Tom, Dick or Harry could replace her. It also served to intimidate outsiders.
Later, the mistress made such an outrageous move that she became a laughing stock in the circle. The old man of the Lu family was furious and beat Lu Jianjun severely. Lu Jianjun stayed in the hospital for three months, and the mistress was sent away. Although she still flirted with other women frequently, she was not as arrogant as before, and her behavior became known to everyone. His mistresses never came to Zhou Jianhong again.
Perhaps because of this, Zhou Jianhong felt that this blood jade bracelet was her lucky bracelet, and she wore it every day for decades afterwards.
Jiang Chunian was curious: "Generally speaking, the character of father and son is inherited from the same lineage. Lu Jianjun is such a playboy, why are you willing to marry your daughter to Lu Jiaming? Aren't you afraid that after Lu Jiaming marries Miss Lin, he will play with other women like Lu Jianjun did, have an illegitimate child, and cause trouble for Miss Lin, and slap you, the Lin family, in the face? I believe the Lu family is not the only option for the Lin family, right?"
Lin Sixian didn't expect Jiang Chunian to ask this question. To be honest, it was a bit offensive.
But he still answered: "Although Lu Jianjun is absurd, the old man of the Lu family is a man of integrity. It's just that when he was young, he focused on starting a business and neglected to discipline his son, so Lu Jianjun's temper was cultivated. Later, after the accident, Old Man Lu knew that his son didn't have much future, so he took Lu Jiaming to his side to educate him. Therefore, Lu Jiaming was raised by Old Man Lu himself, and his character is indeed good. That's why my parents agreed to betroth Siyu to him."
"So what you're saying is that Zhou Jianhong was the one who did the blood jade bracelet thing. Because both Mr. Lu and Lu Jiaming are upright people, they wouldn't ask or allow Zhou Jianhong to do anything to Miss Lin. Lu Jianjun's infidelity has caused her so much trouble, and she wouldn't listen to Lu Jianjun and do anything to Miss Lin. So, excluding the three Lu family members, this is Zhou Jianhong doing it all herself, hiding it from everyone in the Lu family?"
Jiang Chunian analyzed, "Then what is her motive? Lu Jiaming is her eldest son and her support in the Lu family. Only when Lu Jiaming is well will she be well. And there is no doubt that Lu Jiaming marrying Miss Lin is in the best interests of both Lu Jiaming and her. But she gave up this interest and insisted on harming Miss Lin. Who is she doing this for? Is it herself or someone you don't know yet? It can't be that she has an illegitimate child with another man outside, right?"
Lin Sixian shook her head: "She doesn't have any illegitimate children, but she does have a son."
Jiang Chunian was surprised: "Lu Jiaming has a younger brother?"
"Yes." Lin Sixian nodded. "Lu Jiaming's younger brother, Lu Jiayu, is 18 years old this year. He has lived abroad with the Zhou family's grandfather and grandmother since he was a child."
"Most mothers rely on their eldest son and dote on their youngest. If the youngest son is in danger, she might actually disregard the interests of her eldest son for the sake of the younger one."
Jiang Chunian asked, "Your people should have checked on this youngest son, right? Is there anything wrong with him? Did he return to China when Miss Lin was engaged to Lu Jiaming?"
