Hear this life

"I have something to say to you." His tone was serious.

Wen Tingli sensed something and her tone became tense: "Wait, wait a minute!"

She took a few deep breaths and said, "I'm ready, you can talk now."

Lu Shicheng laughed.

Wen Tingli couldn't help but laugh too.

It was a smile that had no reason and could only be understood by the two of them. The roots of my teeth felt a little sore when I smiled, as if I had just eaten a big bowl of fresh bayberries.

At the end of the laugh, Wen Tingli covered her chest and said with a mixture of panting and laughter: "Stop for a moment, let's talk properly."

Lu Shicheng said to her directly: "Are you free tomorrow night? I want to see you."

Wen Tingli covered her mouth again. Although she had a premonition in her heart, she was not sure until this moment that he compromised for her.

It was obviously a happy thing, but for some reason, she felt a little pain in her heart.

"There is time! Of course there is time." She spoke incoherently.

"So where do we meet, or should I pick you up?"

There was no dragging of feet and no playing hard to get.

Wen Tingli felt her nose getting sourer and sourer: "I will probably finish my work at seven o'clock. Can you arrange a place and I will come to you at seven or eight o'clock?"

"Okay, then...see you tomorrow night."

Both of them fell silent at the same time.

He listened to her unsteady breathing, and felt sad and heartbroken, but also relieved. He couldn't wait to see her, so he hung up the phone after a long while. Wen Tingli didn't move until she couldn't hear any sound from the other end, and then she reluctantly put down the phone.

Then she uttered a short scream, and threw herself on the bed in ecstasy.

She was overwhelmed by the great joy, at this moment she was like a lively fish, and the quilt on the bed was the waves embracing her. She laughed and turned over and over in the waves, so happy that she didn't know what to do, and then she stopped and looked at the ceiling with red eyes.

This night must have been very difficult for Lu Shicheng. Even though he still had so many questions in his mind, he finally chose to be tolerant and give in.

Everything in the past will come to an end tonight.

Tomorrow will be a brand new beginning for both of them.

Wen Tingli buried her head deeply in the pillow with emotion. She had always known very well why she was attracted to Lu Shicheng, but after tonight, some new feelings were added to this liking. They were not light and airy, but carried a heavy weight, densely covering her heart.

Later, she fell asleep, but even in sleep, there was a smile on her lips.

She slept until after nine o'clock. After waking up, Wen Tingli hurriedly but happily washed up. When she went downstairs, she saw many gift boxes piled up in the living room and several gorgeous flower baskets with red silk inscriptions of "Good luck in moving to a new house".

"Miss Gao and Director Huang sent them here," Mrs. Zhou said with a smile, "The smaller one was sent by Miss Zhao and Miss Yan. There was also a gift box that was placed at the door early in the morning."

Wen Tingli walked over and picked up the gift box to take a closer look. She had only told a few trusted people about her move this time and guessed that it was a gift from a close friend. As soon as she saw the handwriting on the box, she knew it was from Li Chengying. The box contained a set of stationery for the study, which looked both decent and practical.

Wen Tingli smiled slightly. Li Chengying lived a simple life, but was always generous to his friends.

She hurriedly sat down to make a phone call. When she heard Li Chengying's voice, she said happily, "I saw the gift box you sent. How are you and Head Nurse Liu doing recently? Last time I got into trouble, you contributed both money and effort, and I haven't thanked you in person yet. This time again-"

Li Chengying just smiled: "Why are you so happy today?"

Wen Tingli paused. Li Chengying was a kind person, so she did not continue to ask questions. She just reminded him earnestly like an elder sister: "I heard that you often drive out by yourself recently. You must pay attention to safety on the road. There is no news about Qiu Dapeng in Beiping yet... Yes, be patient... Practice the fighting skills I taught you more when you have time."

She said something, and Wen Tingli just hummed. Finally, she asked, "Are you going out?"

Li Chengying said casually: "I have to go out of town today."

Wen Tingli was in awe, thinking that he must be on an important mission again, so she didn't ask any more questions. She had a big class at 2 a.m., so she went to school first, ate a bowl of eel noodles in the school cafeteria at noon, and then went to the company to discuss the start of filming of "The Fair Detective ".

In the company, the first thing colleagues said when they saw Wen Tingli was the same as Li Chengying: "Why is Miss Wen so happy today?!"

Wen Tingli just smiled. It turned out that when a person is happy from the bottom of his heart, he cannot hide it in his expression.

At the meeting, Liu Menglin officially announced that the second season of "Fair Detective" would start filming soon. The heroine "Fu Zhenzhen" would still be played by Wen Tingli, but unlike the filming of the first season, Wen Tingli's pay this time had increased to two thousand five hundred yuan.

People in the company were not surprised at this. "Fair Detective" is being screened in various theaters in full swing. In order to purchase the overseas screening rights of this film, the Nanyang film distributor offered a sky-high price of 15,000 oceans. Recently, so many companies have been looking for Wen Tingli to shoot commercials that she can't keep up. With her current momentum, it is not surprising that her pay is high.

When the meeting was over, Huang Yuanshan grabbed Wen Tingli and said, "Just now at the meeting, you said that the costumes in the play did not conform to the most popular styles among college students. How about we go to your school this afternoon?"

"Okay, but we have to go to the Gao family first. Gao Xiaowen said he wants to talk to me about something."

The two of them took Wen Tingli's car to Gao Mansion. Gao Xiaowen once again prepared to let Wen Tingli advertise her Aoshuang powder cream. Moreover, unlike the previous jokes, this time it was a very formal advertisement.

This was a good thing of helping each other, so Wen Tingli agreed without hesitation. The three of them chatted happily for a while, and then Wen Tingli said goodbye to Huang Yuanshan and met Meng Qiguang's car on the tree-lined avenue outside Gao Mansion.

"Qiguang." Huang Yuanshan took the initiative to lower the car window to greet him, and Wen Tingli had to stop.

Meng Qiguang also rolled down the window, and the two cars were parked side by side. From a distance, it looked like two people were kissing and talking secretly in each other's ears.

Meng Qiguang looked across and saw Wen Tingli's radiant face, illuminating his heart like a mirror.

"Why is Miss Wen so happy today?"

That’s it again!
This time, Wen Tingli responded bluntly: "I am of course happy that my wish has come true. But Mr. Meng, you are really a man of great achievements. You can still smile so happily even after losing the bet."

She was furious when she thought of Meng Qiguang's action of sending Miss Ge's phone number and address to provoke her the night before.

She looked at him provocatively, but she underestimated Meng Qiguang's cunning. Not only did he not show any displeasure on his face, but he shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you lose, you lose. I have to accept the loss. But then again, I had good intentions at the time."

"Good intentions?"

"I'm afraid you've been cheated. It's always good to clarify this matter. Anyway, congratulations to Miss Wen for getting her 'wish come true'. It's not in vain that I've been a villain for once."

Wen Tingli glared at him, started the car and drove away.

Huang Yuanshan was confused: "What on earth are you and Meng Qiguang talking about?"

Gao Tingxin watched this scene from a distance with a smile on his face: "Why are you here just now? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

The two entered the living room. Gao Tingxin was a rough-minded person and did not notice that Meng Qiguang looked a little unhappy. He asked someone to make him some tea while he sat down and made a phone call to book a restaurant for the evening. When he hung up the phone, Meng Qiguang seemed to come to his senses and asked, "There are no private rooms in Hongyuan?"

"Don't mention it. Hongyuan is not open to the public tonight. The whole building is reserved."

"You don't even give you face?" Meng Qiguang joked.

"I'm also very puzzled. Even if they don't want to be disturbed during the meal, they can just book a floor. Is it necessary to book the whole building? Hiss, do you think Lu Shicheng wants to invite people to dinner there? Only he has such a big face. After all, Hongyuan is the only restaurant of the Lu family in Shanghai."

Meng Qiguang's expression dimmed.

Now even Gao Tingxin noticed that something was wrong.

"What's wrong? Oh, by the way, what did you say to Wen Tingli in front of the door just now? She seemed very angry. Did you offend her?"

It happened that Gao Xiaowen came down from upstairs in a hurry.

"Wen Tingli is very happy right now. It won't matter who offends her today."

Gao Tingxin asked with a smile: "Oh? Miss Wen, do you have any happy events recently?"

Gao Xiaowen blinked and stopped talking cleverly: "Why else? It's because the box office of "Lady Detective" is better than "Beauty of the South". Brother Meng, please take a seat. I have to meet my business partner."

"Business partner?" Gao Tingxin always sneered at his sister's business. "Your little tricks can be called business."

"Let's wait and see!" Gao Xiaowen said and left.

Gao Ting turned to Meng Qiguang and said, "Speaking of movies, do you know Chen Maoqing? He is the manager of the movie queen Yu Peiling. He is now the head of Huamei Film Company. He asked someone to look for me several times a while ago, saying that he wanted to meet you."

"Him?" Meng Qiguang sneered, "Nowadays, any kind of person can make an appointment with me?"

"He does have a bad reputation. If you don't want to meet him, I'll send someone back to him."

After discussing the specific details of building the amusement park, seeing that it was getting late, Gao Tingxin wanted to take Meng Qiguang somewhere else to have fun, but Meng Qiguang just said he was too lazy to go.

After leaving Gao's house, Meng Qiguang asked his attendant to go to Miss Ge's residence to inquire. The attendant replied, "Miss Ge went to Hangzhou early in the morning and said she planned to play in Hangzhou for half a month before returning to Shanghai. As for Hongyuan, there is nothing to be learned for the time being. I only heard that someone is going to entertain guests there tonight."

Meng Qiguang was silent for a while, then drove back to Meng Mansion alone.

Passing by a cinema on the way, Meng Qiguang saw a movie poster of Wen Tingli's "Fair Detective" hanging at the entrance from afar. Looking at that energetic face, he slowed down unconsciously, not paying attention to another car driving out from the side intersection. It was already late, and Meng Qiguang was a little absent-minded. When he realized something was wrong, he quickly swerved the steering wheel to avoid the car on the side, but it was too late. With a "bang", the car crashed straight into the high wall in front of the left.

Meng Qiguang hit his head on the steering wheel and lost consciousness in an instant.

***
It was already six o'clock when Wen Tingli got home. As soon as she entered the house, she couldn't wait to ask Mrs. Zhou: "Did Mr. Lu call during the day?"

Mrs. Zhou handed Wen Tingli a letter that she had been holding for a long time, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu sent it in the evening. He heard that you didn't come back, so he refused to come in and sit for a while."

Wen Tingli pressed the letter against her heart, ran upstairs happily, opened the door, sat in front of the dressing table, and read his letter sweetly and slowly.

In fact, Lu Shicheng only told her in the letter that the meeting place was at a restaurant called "Hongyuan", and the content was only 20 words. But she always felt that there was a lot of content in the letter, and she read it over and over again several times and couldn't bear to put it down.

Her social circle is now quite wide, but she has never heard of the name "Hongyuan". She must be a private high-end club or something like that, where she can dine without worrying about being seen by fans.

It seemed that Lu Shicheng had considered all aspects, and she just needed to go to the appointment with peace of mind. Wen Tingli kissed the letter, and happily found a newly made silver cheongsam in the closet. She put on a top of the same color outside to prevent it from being cold at night, and tied the pink diamond necklace that Lu Shicheng gave her last year around her neck, and then went downstairs with a thump.

The place was on Baisaizhong Road. In order to get there as quickly as possible, Wen Tingli took shortcuts along the way. When she drove to Lafeide Road, her heart suddenly settled down because Baisaizhong Road was ahead.

She thought to herself that she had been driving so fast all the way and she didn't know if her hair was messed up by the wind. Seeing that there were few pedestrians on the road, she simply stopped the car on the side of the street, took out a mirror and checked her makeup under the street light.

Two very short and heart-shaking noises suddenly came from the alley on the left.

Wen Tingli was silent for a moment, and then her scalp went numb. Gunshots! She couldn't have heard it wrong.

She quickly threw away the mirror in her hand and started the car in a hurry. She had to get away from this dangerous place as soon as possible!
But before she could start, a person turned out from the intersection ahead and staggered towards her car.

Wen Tingli turned the steering wheel frantically to avoid the other person, but what a person fears most is often what comes true. The car inexplicably failed to start, and the man happened to fall on the hood of her car, blocking her way.

Wen Tingli took out the gun from her bag without thinking and pointed it at the front window. It was a middle-aged man.

There was another person in the alley chasing after us with a gun in hand. This person looked very familiar.

Sister Li.

Wen Tingli swiftly opened the door and went out.

Li Chengying seemed not to know her and didn't even look at her. He shot the man in the back of the head, grabbed his collar, and pulled him off the hood of Wen Tingli's car like a dead pig.

"Go!" But these words were said to Wen Tingli.

Wen Tingli was unable to move her feet because she found that Li Chengying's chest and abdomen were covered in blood.

"...You are hurt!" Her heart shrank into a ball.

Li Chengying pushed her away with his backhand: "I'm not injured, it's this man's blood that rubbed against me, be careful that it also rubbed against you, the police will be attracted by the gunshot soon, you should leave quickly!"

She looked normal and didn't look like she was hurt at all. After saying this, she pushed Wen Tingli back into the car without saying a word.

Wen Tingli stared at her worriedly, and Li Chengying scolded her sternly, "Be obedient!"

At this moment, the smartest thing to do was to follow the arrangements. Wen Tingli followed Li Chengying's instructions and drove out, but she didn't go far before she quickly turned back. If she was not mistaken, there was blood between Li Chengying's teeth.

An ominous premonition gripped her heart. She drove back to the spot in a hurry and took a look. Suddenly, she felt a basin of ice water pouring down from her head to her feet. Li Chengying fell on the side of the road.

problem occurs!
Wen Tingli pushed open the door with a pale face and ran towards Li Chengying. She couldn't ask anything at this time. There was only one word in her mind: Hurry!

She tried her best to drag Li Chengying up and push her into her car. This time, Li Chengying was powerless to stop her because large amounts of blood flowed from her mouth, chest and abdomen.

Wen Tingli felt cold all over. This was not the Li Chengying she knew. The Li sister she knew was always energetic and upright, but the body in front of her was rapidly withering as the blood was lost. She put Li Chengying in the back seat with great effort, took off her coat and covered her with it to keep her warm, then jumped to the front seat, wiped her tears, and sped away.

Her first reaction was to drive to Baisaizhong Road to ask Lu Shicheng for help, but Li Chengying would not let her do that easily. Sure enough, she heard a low moan from the back seat: "Don't let anyone know."

Wen Tingli glanced in the direction of Baisaizhong Road, and decisively turned the car around and drove back the way she came.

"Don't be afraid, Sister Li." She wiped the cold sweat from her face with her hands and comforted Li Chengying in a trembling voice, "I'm here, nothing will happen. We'll be at the Red Cross Hospital soon."

"We can't go to the hospital..." Li Chengying said weakly in the back seat, "Go find Liu Xiangzhi, she has medicine and surgical equipment..."

"Yes." Wen Tingli's throat choked and she nodded desperately.

At this moment, a police car suddenly drove up in front. Wen Tingli was immediately frightened like a dead person. Seeing that there was no way to retreat, she made up her mind and drove towards it boldly, humming a song leisurely as she drove. As expected, the policemen did not suspect anything and did not even glance into her car. They drove straight past her car.

Li Chengying smiled with satisfaction from behind: "Always so smart...smart and bold."

Wen Tingli wanted to smile back, but tears flowed down her face uncontrollably. She could tell that Li Chengying was in a very bad condition.

"The man in front... is a Japanese spy. We disrupted their operations in Shanghai last year. This time he came prepared. Fortunately... I dealt with him alone, without involving other companions... The fewer people involved in this matter, the better."

Li Chengying murmured thankfully in the back seat.

Wen Tingli nodded with tears in her eyes: "I understand, Sister Li, please don't say too much, close your eyes and rest your mind first."

Time passed so slowly and the road ahead seemed to have no end. Wen Tingli's tears kept flowing down her face. She drove mechanically, wishing she could go faster and faster, and she kept praying for Li Chengying in her heart.

I don’t know how long I walked, but I finally arrived in front of an abandoned factory. Someone came out quickly from the end of the road.

Wen Tingli had already loaded her pistol and stared straight ahead until she saw clearly that it was Head Nurse Liu, then she hurriedly pushed open the car door.

"Where is she?!" There were several people behind Head Nurse Liu, and each of them had a look of intense fear in their eyes.

"In the back seat! She lost a lot of blood..." Wen Tingli said quickly. She didn't realize that her hands were as cold as ice. As she spoke, she dragged Nurse Liu's hand towards the back of the car.

When Head Nurse Liu saw Li Chengying's appearance, her legs trembled, but she immediately perked up and said to her companion behind her, "Quickly notify Doctor Wang to get ready to go on stage."

What Li Chengying said was right. This abandoned factory building was simply a temporary medical station. There was an operating bed in the inner room and many medicines and some instruments were piled in the corner. They carefully placed Li Chengying on it and covered him with a sheet. Li Chengying's blood soaked a large area.

That piercing red!
Wen Tingli was trembling. No, not just her. She saw several people's hands were shaking. However, Head Nurse Liu was so calm and strong. Under her command, an intense and orderly rescue operation began.

Wen Tingli stayed in the outer room without moving a step.

Over the next few hours, footsteps were heard from inside from time to time, and there were occasional conversations, but no one came out to tell her about Sister Li's situation.

Every time there was a little noise in the house, Wen Tingli's heart skipped a beat. Never had waiting made her feel so distressed, and never had a night made her feel so cold.

Finally, she fell to the ground exhausted and leaned her head back against the wall.

When he moved, he found that there was light on his neck. He looked down and saw that it was the pink diamond necklace.

Lu Shicheng!
Wen Tingli got up in a panic, she forgot that he was still waiting for her in Hongyuan!
She was so anxious that she ran around the house looking for a phone, but found that there was no line at all. Just as she was about to open the door to go out, someone came out from the side room.

"Miss Wen, Sister Li wants to see you."

A glimmer of hope ignited in Wen Tingli's heart, and she hurriedly followed the man into the house. However, when she saw Li Chengying's face, her nose felt as if she had been punched hard.

There is no hope.

She had never seen such a gray look on a living person's face, and the breath of death was already approaching.

Someone was crying silently in the room. Wen Tingli's teeth were chattering as she walked towards Li Chengying tremblingly.

Li Chengying's neck was stiff as he faced the ceiling, his eyes were unfocused.

"Sister Li..." Wen Tingli leaned over and cried to Li Chengying, her tears dripping onto Li Chengying's face, making it look like Li Chengying was crying.

Wen Tingli instinctively felt that this was a blasphemy, and quickly reached out to wipe away the tear.

Li Chengying never sheds tears. She is so strong that the arrival of death does not make her timid.

Li Chengying's eyes seemed to have lost their sight, but she could still hear the noises around her, "...Thank you for bringing me... back."

Wen Tingli burst into tears: "No, I want to thank you. Without you and Dean Deng, I would have been killed by Qiu and this gun... You taught me so many things, Sister Li, please cheer up."

Li Chengying was barely breathing, but she was still stubbornly saying something.

Wen Tingli bent even lower.

"…save lives…save more…"

A long silence followed.

Wen Tingli stubbornly lay there motionless, listening, as if Li Chengying would keep talking as long as she didn't move.

Head Nurse Liu suddenly burst into tears.

Everyone in the room was crying, and their cries were filled with deep reluctance and unwillingness.

Wen Tingli stood there stubbornly until someone gently held her in his arms. Then all the grief in her heart burst out from her body in an instant. She cried so hard that she couldn't straighten her back and fell to her knees on the ground.

***
Wen Tingli washed her face with water in a daze. When she looked up, she accidentally saw her pale and swollen face in the mirror, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

This night was too torturous for each of them.

The people in the inner room were discussing Li Chengying's funeral in a low voice, during which time Head Nurse Liu kept urging Wen Tingli to leave.

Wen Tingli went into the room, took a last look at Li Chengying's remains, and walked out in despair.

It was already daybreak, and the morning sun shone on her face, but she only felt it was dazzling. Each of them had a new day, but the good friend who was like an older sister behind her would forever stay in the long, dark night.

She wiped away her tears silently on the spot, drove the car back to the city, and suddenly she shuddered all over and turned the car towards Baisaizhong Road.

She soon found the small white building called Hongyuan. She rang the doorbell in front of the iron gate and a man in a long gown came out.

"Excuse me, who are you looking for?" The man looked Wen Tingli up and down, and was suddenly stunned. "You are Miss Wen Tingli, right?"

Wen Tingli said anxiously, "Excuse me, is Mr. Lu still in there?"

The man led her silently to a room upstairs. The room was empty. There was a large bunch of bright red roses on the table, the petals of which had already wilted a little.

Under the flowers was a blue velvet jewelry box, and next to it was an empty cup. When I touched it, I could still feel the heat in the cup.

"Mr. Lu has been waiting for you here all night." The man said slowly behind her.

Wen Tingli's eyes were filled with tears and she was about to go downstairs in a hurry, but the manager caught up with her and handed her the velvet box.

"This is what Mr. Lu left here. Please bring it to him."

Wen Tingli opened the velvet jewelry box in the car, revealing a pair of exquisite butterfly diamond earrings. The butterfly's abdomen was made of a whole diamond, and its wings trembled, giving it a lifelike feel.

Wen Tingli felt a pang of sadness in her heart and couldn't help stroking the pair of butterfly wings.

She rushed to the Lu Mansion as fast as she could, but before she got out of the car, she saw many vehicles parked in front of the Lu family's gate, with the iron gate wide open. Manager Xu was hurriedly directing servants at the door, and she knew something had happened at a glance.

Wen Tingli got out of the car in panic and walked towards the door. Manager Xu was stunned and came up to her and said, "Miss Wen."

"I'll go in and look for Mr. Lu."

Manager Xu said awkwardly, "Why don't you come back another day? The mansion is in chaos right now, and Master Cheng may not be in the mood to entertain you."

Suddenly someone said on the other end: "Miss Wen! I was just about to look for you."

It was Kuang Zhilin. He came out of Lu Mansion by car. Wen Tingli immediately ran to the car: "Mr. Kuang."

As soon as she got in the car, she noticed that Kuang Zhilin looked very unhappy. She couldn't wait to ask, "What happened at home?"

"Old Master Lu had a sudden heart attack in the early morning." Kuang Zhilin wiped the sweat off his head with a handkerchief. "Because Young Master Cheng was not in the mansion at the time, the servants could not find anyone to ask for instructions, so they accidentally delayed the treatment time. Now Old Master Lu is still in the hospital for treatment. The Lu family members have heard the news and rushed here. It seems that they want to hold Young Master Cheng accountable."

At this point, Kuang Zhilin glanced at Wen Tingli with a knife-like gaze: "Excuse me, where did Miss Wen go last night? Master Cheng waited for you at Hongyuan all night. Later, he was afraid that something might happen to you, so he sent a few reliable people to look for you quietly, but they didn't find any news about you until dawn."

Wen Tingli closed her eyes sadly.

Before leaving, Head Nurse Liu repeatedly reminded her that Li Chengying's death must not be revealed to the outside world for the time being, as the Japanese were still searching for their companions in the concession. Once the news leaked out, it would likely lead to more assassinations and cause more casualties.

This is definitely not the situation that Sister Li wants to see.

Wen Tingli's rare silence aroused a trace of doubt in Kuang Zhilin's heart. Ever since he knew Wen Tingli, he had never seen her so depressed. That lifeless feeling made him unable to ask any more questions.

While hesitating, Kuang Zhilin recalled two pieces of news he had read in the newspaper that morning.

One is the morning paper, the other is yesterday's evening paper.

The headline of the news in the evening paper was [Newly popular female star suspected of having close contact with industrial tycoon].

There are two photos below, showing a young woman and a well-dressed young man standing in the corner of the garden and talking.

Another photo shows two cars parked side by side, with the two drivers looking at each other at a very short distance.

Kuang Zhilin recognized at a glance that it was Wen Tingli's car, and the man was also easy to identify. It was Meng Qiguang in both photos.

The article reads:

"A female star has been secretly in love with this industrial tycoon for a long time. On the one hand, she admires his shrewdness, strength, and suaveness. On the other hand, he once saved the female star from a dangerous situation. It is said that the female star still has his business card hidden in her wallet, which shows that he has a special position in her heart... The two of them often avoid the public eye and meet secretly, but because of the frequent meetings, they are often seen by people with ulterior motives..."

In today's morning paper, the most prominent page published the news that Meng Qiguang was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment after a car accident yesterday. The accident happened yesterday evening.

It is said that Meng Qiguang was rescued in Ci Xin Hospital for a whole night and is still in danger.

Thinking of this, and looking at Wen Tingli's swollen eyes, Kuang Zhilin felt suspicious. Then he thought that Master Cheng must have seen the two newspapers, so he suppressed his words and said, "Let's talk about it after we meet Master Cheng."

After entering the main building, Kuang Zhilin took Wen Tingli upstairs. Suddenly, he heard someone in the flower hall on the side say angrily, "I heard that you waited for a woman in Hongyuan all night yesterday, and went around looking for that woman in the morning. No wonder the subordinates couldn't find you when Dad got into trouble. In your heart, is your grandfather not as important as a woman outside? How could the Lu family produce an unfilial descendant like you! Dear cousins, you must judge for yourself. Is he worthy of being the head of the Lu family?!"

Kuang Zhilin's face suddenly became gloomy. Wen Tingli immediately recognized that it was the voice of Mr. Lu Sanye. This man came so quickly.

"Shicheng, your grandfather is old. As his eldest grandson, you should be careful in everything, not to mention the care of others. How can you be so negligent? I heard that after your grandfather got into trouble, it took the subordinates three hours to find you. You, you really disappoint us."

Lu Shicheng seemed to be used to facing such a hail of bullets, and said calmly: "So, did Third Uncle go to the hospital to visit Grandpa this morning?"

Lu Kejian choked and turned around to find Wen Tingli and Kuang Zhilin standing outside. He immediately turned his wheelchair to point the spearhead at Wen Tingli. He glanced at the necklace on Wen Tingli's neck and said coldly: "It's her, right? She is the female star? Who gave you the courage to find the Lu family?!"

Several sharp eyes shot towards Wen Tingli, and Lu Shicheng immediately ordered Kuang Zhilin: "Take the elders to the hospital first, I will come later."

"Don't try to play tricks on me." Lu Kejian said sternly, "If you don't give us an explanation for what happened last night, the elders in the clan will not let you go!"

But Kuang Zhilin had already led people towards his wheelchair, and pushed him out without giving him any explanation amidst the scolding of Mr. Lu San, and then came back to politely invite the elders of the Lu family. Several of the clan members did not want to get involved in the feud between the uncle and nephew, so when Kuang Zhilin came, they immediately went down the slope and left one by one.

In a blink of an eye, only Lu Shicheng and Wen Tingli were left in the hall.

Wen Tingli felt infinite guilt and grievance in her heart, and ran towards Lu Shicheng with her head down.

Lu Shicheng couldn't wait to stretch out his arms to hold her in his arms, lowered his head and looked at her carefully: "Where did you go last night?"

He didn't mean to blame anyone, and his tone was filled with concern.

"Something happened to a friend of mine last night. It was an urgent matter, so I didn't have a chance to call you. Then I realized that you had been waiting for me in Hongyuan all night." Wen Tingli said guiltily.

Lu Shicheng was secretly shocked. It was hard for him to imagine what she had experienced last night. Her complexion was so bad, her spirit was so depressed, and the grief in her eyes could not be hidden.
