Lu Si’s cold eyes glanced over.
Jiang He immediately shivered, quickly stepped aside, and stood at attention.
After seeing the gentle interaction between Master Si and Miss Mei for a long time, he almost forgot about his master’s temper.
There was no one who could interfere with what he wanted to do.
In the front hall.
Shen Yuan finally stopped crying, drinking the tea that Lu Ting had specially ordered to be brewed again, and happily chatted with Lu Ting.
If someone unaware saw this scene, they might mistakenly think that they were a very close grandparent and grandchild.
When Lu Si entered, he only glanced in Shen Yuan’s direction and then withdrew his gaze, walking straight to the other side of the sofa and sitting down. “Grandpa, you called me?”
Lu Ting deliberately put on a stern face. “Do you still know that I am your grandfather? You’ve been in confinement for so many days. Have you figured out when you want to publicly announce the engagement with Yuanyuan?”
At these words, Shen Yuan suddenly became nervous, sitting up straight. Her pair of affectionate eyes glanced timidly towards the opposite side but lowered shyly when Lu Si looked over.
“I’ve figured it out,” Lu Si answered in a gentle tone.
“What did you say?”
Now, Shen Yuan couldn’t pretend anymore.
She didn’t expect Lu Si to be so easily swayed by her.
“I said, I have already let Jiang Hai pick a good day. I will publicly announce the engagement with you on that day,” Lu Si looked at her fixedly and said.
There was an undercurrent in those eyes, but there was no love that she yearned for the most.
Before she could examine the emotions inside his eyes, Lu Si had already looked away. “Grandpa, 1 have decided to marry Shen Yuan according to your wishes. Can 1 go out now?”
Lu Ting smiled meaningfully. “How do I know if you’re not deliberately saying this to appease me?”
He pointed at Shen Yuan. His tone wasn’t overly indulgent, but it could still be considered kind, “This girl just told me everything. During the time you were confined, that girl called Mei Shu, whom both you and Ah Yan liked, was quite busy. There was a girl being bullied in No.i High School, and she even wanted to blame it on Yuanyuan! Moreover, during this time, she went to see Kangwei and the Chen family, intentionally taking away two business deals from Yuanyuan.”
Lu Si couldn’t help but curl up the corners of his lips, but considering the presence of the old master, he reluctantly suppressed it. “Chen family and Kangwei used to be business partners with the Shen family, right?”
“Now, only the Yu family is left,” Lu Ting suddenly became stern, “Since you said you’ve figured it out, why not take this opportunity to express your position in front of your fiancee? Let me see your determination.”
“I understand.” Lu Si said, “Jiang Hai, inform the Yu family. If they dare to sign a contract with the Mei family, it means they are against the entire Lu family.”
“Yes.” Jiang Hai received the order and immediately went to carry it out.
Jiang He, on the side, looked dumbfounded.
When Lu Si initially agreed to marry Shen Yuan, he firmly believed that this was a delaying tactic by Young Master Si. But now, Young Master Si had gone to such lengths to help Shen Yuan deal with Mei Shu!
Could it be that Young Master Si really intended to fulfill the old master’s wishes and marry Shen Yuan as the future Mrs. Lu?
But how was this woman deserving of it!
Even if he was ignorant of what happened outside, just listening to the old master’s words, he could guess that during this time, the one who had been scheming and manipulating things outside was Shen Yuan!
She obviously couldn’t compete with Miss Mei and could only come to the old master for help when she was desperate!
Truly despicable!
Jiang He was so angry that he ignored Lu Si’s glare and quietly circled behind Shen Yuan and, taking advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention, discreetly put something from his pocket into her clothes.
At first, Shen Yuan was still talking to Grandpa Shen when she suddenly felt something crawling on her back.
This realization immediately made her hair stand on end, and her face turned visibly pale.
“Miss Shen, are you suddenly feeling unwell?” Jiang He asked with feigned concern, diverting everyone’s attention to her.
Sweat stood out all over Shen Yuan’s body. As soon as she came into contact with the concerned gaze of the old master, she was scared to the point that her scalp tingled. “No, I’m fine. I’ll go to the restroom for a moment.”
“Wait a moment.” Lu Si, having seen Jiang He’s actions just now, wouldn’t let her run away easily. “You haven’t told me why the police would investigate you for what happened to a classmate in Mei Shu’s school.”
Shen Yuan maintained a polite smile on her face, but inside, she was seething with anger.
“How would I know? It’s precisely because it has nothing to do with me that 1 feel wronged today. Mei Shu has treated me as an enemy because of you. Before that, we were still good friends.”
She spoke with a sense of regret, as if she truly treasured the friendship with Mei Shu.
The old master was about to console her with compassion, but unexpectedly, Lu Si persisted in his questioning.
“I think the police wouldn’t randomly suspect you just based on Mei Shu’s words. When the police come to the Lu family later for questioning, I hope you can answer their questions honestly.”
“Ah!” Shen Yuan screamed as soon as Lu Si finished speaking, standing up from the sofa..
