Ding Wen glanced at Shu Yu and then at the three furious people.
He lowered his voice and asked, “Brother Zhang, the family with the surname Lu you mentioned just now is… Miss Lu and her family?”
“Yes.”
Ding Wen wanted to laugh in his heart. He had been quite annoyed just now.
He felt that the three of them had come to make a joke out of themselves. Each of them was a young master who couldn’t even touch the property at home, but they came to him and asked him to do this.
They wanted to investigate the uncles and nephews of the Lu family and teach them a lesson. They also wanted him to help them find the missing jade plate that would allow them to enter the black market.
Who do they think they are? The person who came to the Ding family to talk to him should be at least their father or an elder brother who already had the power to control the family property, right?
The few of them knew how to eat, drink, and play. It was not easy to get an opportunity to work in Jiangyuan County, but they could still make a fuss about losing the jade plate. How dare they come to the Ding residence to make such a request.
If it weren’t for the fact that they had some business dealings, Ding Wen would have turned them down decisively.
He had already wanted to find an excuse to send the few of them away. Who knew that Yuehua and the others would appear and interrupt the conversation, helping him?
He patted Young Master Zhang’s shoulder and said, “Alright, I know what happened. Wait for me.” Ding Wen walked toward Shu Yu and greeted her. “Miss Lu.”
“Young Master Ding.”
“Brother Zhang said a jade plate disappeared yesterday in the peach blossom forest. He claimed you stole it.”
Ding Yuehua immediately said, “Big Brother, Shu Yu…”
Ding Wen raised her hand and told her not to say anything.
Shu Yu shook her head. “I have never seen any jade plates, let alone steal them. I did see Young Master Zhang and the other two yesterday, but we were quite a distance away from each other. Moreover, the officer was at the scene. I’m a weak woman. How could I steal in front of the officer? It’s not like I’m tired of living.”
“Hmm.” Ding Wen nodded, then turned to Young Master Zhang and said, “Miss Lu said she didn’t steal it.”
Young Master Zhang looked at him in disbelief. “If she says she didn’t steal it, then she didn’t? You don’t believe us, but you believe her?”
“Brother Zhang, please calm down.” Ding Wen clasped hands and said to Ding
Yuehua, “Alright, leave this to me. Take Miss Lu back to your courtyard to rest.”
As he spoke, his warning gaze fell on Ding Yuerong. “You go back too!”
Ding Yuerong shrank her neck in fright and dared not do anything anymore.
Ding Yuehua immediately held Shu Yu’s hand and quickly left the living room.
Young Master Zhang and the other two glared at them. When they saw they had left, they immediately rushed to Ding Wen in dissatisfaction. “Brother Ding, what do you mean? She is your sister’s friend, and you’re standing on her side, not caring about the relationship between our families at all?”
“Brother Zhang, you’ve misunderstood me.” Ding Wen pulled him aside and sat him down. “Come on, let me tell you guys. You are not from Jiangyuan County, so there are some things you don’t understand.”
“What is it?”
Ding Wen lowered his voice. “Miss Lu is not just my sister’s friend. Don’t judge her by her inconspicuous clothes and lack of fame in Jiangyuan County.. She seems to be from a small family, but she has a backer and a backer that we can’t afford to offend!”
