Chapter 748: A Feeling of Being One of Our Own
"What's up with him?"
Chu Xin's gaze lingered on Pei Zhengyang for a while. Yang Zheng and Ge Shaoting didn't believe she had taken a liking to him; the most likely explanation was that the man had something that caught Chu Xin's attention.
"How should I put it, it feels like we're kindred spirits."
Chu Xin's words were ambiguous, and Yang Zheng and Ge Shaoting exchanged glances, neither of them understanding what she meant by "the same kind of people".
Chu Xin didn't intend to explain in detail to them, and waved her hand to indicate that she didn't want to talk about it. Just as she was about to climb onto the small table to take a nap, she looked down and saw Pei Zhengyang's luggage bag.
Ugh, so annoying!
She muttered to herself, then rested her face on her arm, turned towards the window, and closed her eyes.
Kyoto.
When Lu Jianshe's bodyguard saw his leader again, his expression was complicated, and he seemed to want to say something but couldn't...sympathy.
His attitude reminded Lu Jianshe of some unpleasant experiences. Suppressing his sudden panic, he spoke directly, "Tell me, how's the investigation going?"
"Sir, I can only find out who Comrade Lu Shujing met and what she said. I don't know anything about that. Please don't get upset. What if it's not what you think?"
The guard was essentially giving Lu Jianshe a heads-up, telling him that this was a bit hard to accept.
Then, without Lu Jianshe needing to urge him further, he shared the investigation results.
"Comrade Lu Shujing left your in-laws' house secretly. She went directly to your younger brother Lu Zhaolin's house. He wasn't there at the time. Lu Shengying received Comrade Lu Shujing. I don't know what the two of them talked about. When Comrade Lu Shujing came out, she went straight to the Chu family's place."
This corresponds to her claim of being bullied the day before yesterday, because they were in a somewhat remote area at the time, and the specifics of what happened are unknown.
Lu Jianshe remained silent for a long time after listening. He knew that his younger brother had selfish motives, but now it seemed that these motives were far more alarming than he had imagined.
My nephew must have similar thoughts.
Thinking of this, his wife's words rang in his mind at just the right moment.
"Your younger brother has quite the ambition; you'd better watch out."
Don't you think he's being too fake?
"Why does he insist on having Lu Shengying in our lives? His son is filial enough; we don't need him!"
"Old Lu, this family is becoming more and more unfamiliar because of them, father and son."
"Old Lu, why do you think our son is so close to Lu Zhaolin, his uncle?"
"Old Lu..."
"Old Lu..."
……
One sentence after another echoed in Lu Jianshe's mind.
Could it all be a coincidence?
Lu Jianshe asked himself these questions.
The answer is no answer.
I don't know if he genuinely didn't expect it, or if he did expect it but didn't want to admit it.
After letting out a deep sigh, Lu Jianshe slowly opened his eyes. "I understand. You can go back now."
Seeing that his leader had aged considerably recently, the bodyguard didn't know what to say to comfort him, so he could only salute and leave.
The room was quiet. Lu Jianshe lay on the bed, looking out the window.
Do desire and ambition really make people disregard blood ties and family ties? Is it necessary to resort to any means to get what you want?
He was ruthless and resourceful, but he only ever targeted outsiders. However, when he discovered that the people he had always loved and treated as family had turned their knives on him, Lu Jianshe was suddenly at a loss.
Did his son know that the uncle he had always respected and repeatedly asked him to take care of him might be a person with malicious intentions?
