Chapter 455: Keeping One’s Pants On
Every word she said was accompanied by a smile, and she spoke casually.
Su Yi was so scared that her hair stood on end. She had not expected such a vicious woman to exist in the world. Was she not afraid of retribution? She had killed too many people.
Ling Sheng knew that she had said these things deliberately for her to hear. Nun Jingxin was really the person Yan Yuanfei liked.
Her face was a little pale as she retracted her hand firmly. She then thought of the man in the wheelchair she had seen in the afternoon.
Yan Yuanfei.
That man had been Yan Yuanfei!
In that case… If he was not dead, why did everyone think he was dead?
Dongfang Meng had taken in all her reactions. She sincerely wanted to work with her, so she naturally had to give her some benefits and reveal some things to show her that she actually had a lot of trump cards.
Nangong Lengyu and Wen Ruoshui had betrayed their sister back then and forced her to a dead end together. The two of them wanted to live a peaceful life now, but not unless she approved of it!
Ling Sheng went to the hospital and took a look at Lu Xianzhi. He was already out of danger, but Lu Yubai was still watching him.
“Fifth Uncle, who’s Lu Xianzhi?” Ling Sheng asked when they reached a quiet place.
“He’s a member of the Lu Family. He’s my third brother’s illegitimate son.” Lu Yubai did not hide anything.
Third Brother could be considered the person who had treated him the best in the Lu Family. However, he was weak and incapable. Back then, he had not even been able to protect the person he’d liked and had married someone else under the pressure of the old man at home.
He had not expected his third brother to have an illegitimate child with his first love. Ten years after his third brother’s death, the illegitimate child had come knocking on his door. However, the existence of an illegitimate child was a shameful thing to the old folks at home. Naturally, they would not publicly acknowledge him.
In fact…
The expression in his eyes flickered. He had only found out later that the Lu Family had sent him over to please Zhao Hong.
He had looked for him once in the past. If he’d been willing, he would have asked Zhao Hong to let him go. After all, Zhao Hong had to give him face.
At the time, no one had known what he was thinking, but he had rejected his suggestion and chosen to stay by Zhao Hong’s side.
Only now did he know that this brat had unknowingly joined forces with that sc.u.mbag Third Master Jun to kill Zhao Hong in one fell swoop and had stayed by her side to collect evidence.
As a result of collecting evidence, he had nearly lost his life.
Ling Sheng had long thought that Lu Xianzhi’s surname was Lu, so he had to be a member of the Lu Family. On the way there, she had let her imagination run wild. She had even thought of him as Fifth Uncle’s son.
Lu Yubai looked at her eyes and frowned. “Don’t tell me you thought he’s my son. How old am I? How can I have such an old son?”
Ling Sheng was very serious. “My father is not that old either!”
“Can he compare to me? I keep my trousers on!” Lu Yubai let out a snort and asked her, “Have you prayed and gotten a divination lot for me?”
“Sister Su Yi got it for you. Here’s the lot’s text.” Ling Sheng pushed the lot into his hands and took out a red string. On the red string was a pomegranate. “Also, Sister Su Yi asked the abbot for a blessing. She said it can bring you romantic luck.”
Lu Yubai suddenly thought of the girl he had seen during the day. He thought to himself that she was quite considerate. “Why did she do everything?”
Ling Sheng tried to please him. “Does it make a difference? Sister Su Yi and I don’t make distinctions between us.”
Lu Yubai usually did not take a liking to such things. However, since this was a sincere request and she had even sought the blessing of the abbot, he felt that it was not bad after wearing it.
