Lu Yanchen finished applying burn medicine. In the past, I wouldn't have dared to imagine such a thing.
It turns out my uncle isn't cold at all; he's very gentle.
"Thank you." I pulled my hand away, wanting to leave.
"Wait."
I stared at him, confused. "What's wrong?"
"Su Ning'an isn't a simple woman. You might seem to have won this time, but have you ever considered that she was doing it on purpose?"
Lu Yanchen stared into my eyes, telling me the truth word by word. I was incredulous. "What did you say..."
"If you were having an affair, would you choose such an obvious way?"
Lu Yanchen's words hit me like a stone. After a moment of daze, my mind gradually cleared.
Since that moment in the car, Su Ning'an had been deliberately seducing Lu Shiyan.
Although I knew it through my spiritual form, Jiang Wanwan was unaware of their affair.
"She did it on purpose for me to see!" I suddenly realized. Lu Yanchen had known about their relationship for a long time, and he chose to expose it to protect the Lu family's reputation. I was different.
I was just a simple, innocent girl, even younger than her.
"You've shown hostility toward her since the day you entered the Lu family. What would you have done if you had witnessed their affair?"
Lu Yanchen analyzed my words, word for word. "You've caught the old man's attention since your arrival, and you've sensed that our relationship isn't harmonious. Would you expose this to help you gain a firm foothold?"
"I..."
"You definitely would!"
Yes, I would, but I'm not doing it to gain a firm foothold; I'm doing it for revenge, and Lu Yanchen's analysis was correct.
"Even if it weren't for personal gain, you hate evil with all your heart. Upon learning that Su Wan had just passed away and her husband was having an affair with her own sister, you would have exposed it. No matter the reason, you would have fulfilled her wish. Su Ning'an was waiting for exposure!"
My back was already cold. Although I had felt that things were going too smoothly before, I was so consumed with revenge that I overlooked it. With Su Ning'an's cautious nature, how could she make such a foolish mistake?
I thought she was just having a love affair, but I hadn't realized I'd already fallen into her trap.
"She's waiting for me to expose her affair with Lu Shiyan while everyone from both the Su and Lu families are here."
"Have you figured it out?" Lu Yanchen looked at me indifferently. I felt a pang of fear. I had truly underestimated Su Ning'an!
"She wants to use me as a springboard, using the child as bait to get married with the baby!"
This was Su Ning'an's true goal, and I was just a pawn in her hands.
But the only surprise this time was Old Man Lu. She hadn't expected him to be so resolute, forcing her to have an abortion while she was pregnant, without even giving her a second thought. Lu Yanchen nodded. "She's not that foolish. Su Ning'an is a scheming person. You must be careful when dealing with her. You didn't lose this game, not because she's stupid, but because God was on your side. Grandpa didn't give her a chance. Instead, he made you Mrs. Lu, making her lose more than she gained."
"I understand. Dad actually saw it all a long time ago! He was afraid the Lu family would fight over Mrs. Lu, so he gave me that jewelry set in front of everyone. He was actually trying to put an end to the situation and calm Su Ning'an and Bai Lan down."
Grandpa Lu is truly amazing! He saw it all at a glance.
Lu Yanchen stared at me intently. "Do you think mother and daughter will calm down?"
"No, they'll definitely cause trouble at this dinner."
"Wanwan, tell me, what exactly do you want?"
Meeting Lu Yanchen's deep gaze, he was so powerful that I couldn't see through him at all. "I don't know. I just think Su Wan's death was tragic. Maybe it's because we look alike, I feel a connection with her death. I want to find out the truth for her. On her wedding day, her fiancé was hanging out with her sister. I suspect Su Ning'an is the murderer. She has a motive!"
"Do you have any evidence?"
"No."
Although I saw some things while I was with Lu Shiyan, Su Ning'an wasn't directly involved in my murder. She's completely cleared herself of all wrongdoing.
"But I have a clue..."
I originally wanted to investigate on my own. I underestimated Lu Yanchen. In just the short time we've been together, he's seen through me.
If he's an enemy, I'd be terrified.
"What clue?"
I squatted beside Lu Yanchen's wheelchair, staring intently into his eyes. "Mr. Lu, I want to find out the truth. What about you? Do you agree or oppose it?"
I wanted to force him to take sides. If he wanted to protect the Lu family's reputation, then even if the truth was revealed, he wouldn't reveal it. What would be the point of my rebirth then? "I'm only on the side of justice. No matter who the murderer is, they must be brought to justice." He expressed his resolve.
That put my mind at ease.
"You might find this a bit far-fetched, but after I fainted, I heard Miss Su's voice. She volunteered a clue. She said she'd seen her killer at the auto repair shop."
This was the only clue Huang Ying left me before she vanished. If I could see that person, even just a pair of eyes, I wouldn't be mistaken!
"Auto repair shop?" Lu Yanchen was bewildered.
"Yes, Mr. Lu, can you help me investigate all the employees and owners of auto repair shops? I want their photos."
Lu Yanchen glanced at me. I thought he'd dismiss my suggestion as nonsense, but he quickly agreed.
"Okay."
"Thank you."
"Stay away from Su Ning'an from now on," he added.
I could understand. After all, he was the one most suspicious of Su Ning'an, and despite all his efforts, he couldn't find a single flaw in her.
This woman was too secretive, and he didn't dare put me in danger. But my battle with Su Ning'an was destined to end in a bitter fight!
This lesson taught me a lesson: never underestimate her again.
There was a knock at the door. Shen Ji came in with a medical report. "Sir, these are Lu Shiyan's biopsy results."
By the way, he had a gastroscopy and biopsy earlier. I'm curious what the results were.
"What are they?"
Seeing he wasn't trying to avoid my question, Shen Ji spoke directly. "Gastric cancer, stage two, and renal failure."
