Chapter 483 - 481 I think it would be more appropriate for you to ask him
"Jinyang, are you serious about what you said? We’re not joking around."
Lu Jinyang, with a cold face, "Mom, I never joke around."
Ye Han suddenly felt uneasy.
She had thought her daughter-in-law was an orphan, and she never minded her daughter-in-law’s background; as long as her son liked her and they got along, that was enough.
However, now someone was telling her that her daughter-in-law had yet another, closer relationship with the Lu Family, and Ye Han was almost overjoyed to madness.
But Lu Zhiyuan thought of another problem. It was him who had begged the Xiao Family to save Xiao Qing five years ago, they had the same blood type... why didn’t he think about that aspect at that time?
However...
"Jinyang, I have a question for you. You’re saying that five years ago, the Xiao Family quietly took the person away and then told us that Shuqing had passed away?"
Ye Han was stunned and also looked towards Lu Jinyang, waiting for his reply.
Yet Lu Jinyang shook his head, "Xiao Yijian probably doesn’t know the specifics."
"What do you mean?" Lu Zhiyuan frowned.
Lu Jinyang, however, looked towards the corridor not far off, at the figure approaching from afar, "I think it would be more appropriate for you to ask him." With that, a hint of coldness curled at the corner of his mouth.
As a member of the Lu Family, he had turned his back on them, colluding with outsiders to keep them in the dark for five years; who knows how he could live with himself.
Li Yan, seeing the two elders of the Lu Family, quickened his steps and approached, greeting them with a smile: "Elder Lu, Madam Lu."
Lu Zhiyuan scanned him with a cold gaze, "Li Yan, I hear you’ve grown capable these past years."
Hearing this, Li Yan immediately broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said, "Not at all, not at all, Elder Lu, you’ll scare me by saying that."
"Oh? Five years and you haven’t run into any issues, which shows your mental fortitude is solid; my words certainly wouldn’t scare you."
Li Yan was confused, unable to grasp Lu Zhiyuan’s intentions in time, so he turned to Lu Jinyang for help with a pleading look, only to see the man gazing distantly, not even sparing him a glance.
His heart was bitter, but all he could do was say, "Elder Lu, please just speak directly, I’m a straight thinker and I might misunderstand."
Lu Zhiyuan was about to speak when a voice beat him to it.
"Li Yan, tell me, five years ago, wasn’t it you who told us that Shuqing was going overseas for treatment?" Ye Han was impatient, unable to stand Lu Zhiyuan’s slow questioning, and got straight to the point.
Her directness caught Li Yan off guard and he found himself inadvertently nodding.
"Okay, another question for you: weren’t you saying that once she went overseas she would definitely be cured? How did she end up dead after that? And why is Shuqing now standing in front of us as Xiao Qing, alive and well?"
Asking three questions in quick succession, Li Yan’s head was in knots.
These three questions seemed like one, yet they also seemed like different questions. How was he supposed to answer them?
Seeing him silent and dumbstruck, Lu Zhiyuan became frustrated and simply stepped forward, slapping his shoulder. Once Li Yan reacted, Lu Zhiyuan said, "Answer!"
"I..."
Li Yan was speechless, thinking to himself that it was over.
The secret he had kept for five years was finally about to be revealed...
Five years ago, he was indeed threatened by Xiao Anze and lied for him. He thought, since it was all for Zhuang Shuqing’s benefit, he let his brother take her away.
Who would have known that Xiao Anze, that crafty old scoundrel, would take advantage of him and after taking her away, never contacted him again. He went to the Xiao Family in the south to find them, only to be told that the entire Xiao Family had moved overseas.
