Chapter 1335 Add a Flame
Lu Mingzhu stared intently at Song Mingyi: "Sister-in-law...really? You're not just trying to comfort me, are you?"
Song Mingyi laughed out loud: "Why would I lie to you? Just search it online, there are many cases like this, so don't feel guilty. If you feel guilty and don't dare to tell us, you'll fall for his trick."
Lu Mingzhu's heart finally calmed down.
"So what should we do about this now?" Lu Mingzhu asked again.
Lu Shenxing flipped through the documents in a few seconds and glanced at them briefly: "As long as there is enough evidence, we can turn back the clock on the matter of public opinion."
"But the problem is that we have no evidence of the process of Ming Jinyan's 'injury' at all. The garage surveillance footage is the same as the photos and videos they released, showing her getting into the car with an injury."
"If you really want to refute or explain, you must be clear, cautious and cooperative."
Yes, that's the hardest part.
This is also the most disgusting thing about Ming Jinyan.
He is a victim, and an absolutely innocent and vulnerable one at that, so only he himself can prove that he is alright.
Otherwise, no matter what the Lu Group says, in the eyes of outsiders, it will only make things worse.
There is no truth to it at all.
Lu Mingzhu's heart clenched again.
Although my sister-in-law said she didn't need to feel guilty, she really caused a lot of trouble for the family...
Ming Jinyan...isn't he just trying to make her bow down?
Song Mingyi comforted her, "It's alright, Mingzhu. We have other bargaining chips. We're not afraid that Ming Jinyan won't cooperate. We can handle this within two days. Try to calm yourself down."
Lu Mingzhu took a deep breath: "No, sister-in-law."
“I’ve said before that I want to rely on myself, but until now, I’ve been relying on you all.”
Lu Mingzhu: "Ming Jinyan just wants me to back down. I know what to do!"
Song Mingyi frowned: "Mingzhu, you should know that the last thing your brother and I want to see is you making yourself suffer."
Lu Mingzhu has suffered enough grievances over the years.
Lu Mingzhu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, brother, I know! I definitely won't hurt myself, don't worry. I already have a plan for this."
“You always protected me before, and now I want to do my part for the family as well as I can, so that I can protect you too…”
She caused this herself, so she has to deal with it.
She didn't want to be a burden on the Lu family forever.
Lu Shenxing looked at Lu Mingzhu's resolute eyebrows and eyes, which were beautiful yet carried a heroic spirit and tenacity.
Lu Shenxing: "Okay."
He said, "Remember, home is always your home. Nothing is more important than our family being healthy and together. These things don't matter, understand?"
Lu Mingzhu: "Mm!"
She really did know.
She'll deal with...Ming Jinyan properly!
……
Ming Jinyan took a long nap.
When I opened my eyes, there was still no news of Lu Mingzhu.
This made Ming Jinyan, who was always complacent, feel a little annoyed.
Ming Jinyan glared angrily at Ming Qi: "What is Lu Mingzhu doing?"
Mingqi immediately replied, "Master, Miss Mingzhu is on her way and should be here soon."
Ming Jinyan's eyes flashed with a sharp glint: "You're only coming now? Looks like you're not scared enough. Keep going, add fuel to the fire."
"Yes."
No sooner had he finished speaking than there was a knock on the door.
It was Lu Mingzhu's voice.
"Hello, is Mr. Ming here?"
Ming Jinyan's expression softened for a moment, and he calmly glanced at Ming Qi as if he were looking at a piece of useless trash.
"Have Mingzhu come to the back garden to find me."
Mingqi: "Yes."
Outside.
Lu Mingzhu's calm face showed no trace of the worry and trouble she had felt in Lu Shenxing's office earlier.
She was almost completely calm.
Mingqi opened the door, met Lu Mingzhu's gaze for a moment, and quickly lowered his head as if burned: "Please come in."
Every time Lu Mingzhu saw Mingqi, she felt something very strange.
They didn't know each other at all, but Mingqi's eyes seemed to have a thousand words he wanted to say to her.
Lu Mingzhu brushed past Ming Qi and entered, glancing up but not seeing Ming Jinyan.
Just as she was about to ask, Mingqi seemed to have known Lu Mingzhu's thoughts all along, and quickly closed the door, saying, "The master is resting in the back garden and does not like to be disturbed. Please come with me."
Lu Mingzhu nodded: "Thank you."
Mingqi took a step ahead of her, and just as he was about to take a step, Lu Mingzhu suddenly spoke up: "Wait."
Mingqi turned around, his eyes unable to resist searching for Lu Mingzhu's face.
He could hear his own heartbeat, which was racing uncontrollably.
Lu Mingzhu smiled, took out the handkerchief she had prepared that day, and gently handed it to Mingqi: "Thank you."
Even though she didn't know Mingqi's purpose, she could sense that Mingqi had no ill intentions.
Mingqi's eyes fell on the handkerchief, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
His breathing became a little erratic.
Her fingers were almost forced to remain calm, suppressing a slight tremor, before she feigned composure and accepted the gift: "So you still kept it... Thank you."
Lu Mingzhu smiled and said, "I should be thanking you. Please lead the way."
"okay."
The handkerchief still retained Lu Mingzhu's body temperature.
Mingqi's fingers were a little stiff, but he still managed to put them back in his pocket. The sweat and burning heat on his palms showed the excitement of his heart.
Mingqi walked ahead as if nothing had happened, but a subtle smile appeared on his lips.
Even just being this close to Lu Mingzhu made him very happy.
He didn't dare to hope for anything else.
People like him, living at the bottom of society, can only ever be Ming Jinyan's appendages for their entire lives. He is neither clean nor good enough.
He is not worthy of Mingzhu.
So... he will keep this love hidden in his heart, and it will never be revealed.
As long as Mingzhu is alive and well, that's enough. He won't reveal those so-called past events, the fact that he was once a part of "Hou Chen".
Ming Jinyan's worries were excessive.
How could he possibly bear to tell Mingzhu all this, only to cause her further harm?
He will strictly keep these secrets, without fail.
Mingqi's mood and pace became inexplicably lighter after seeing Lu Mingzhu.
This is a suite in a five-star hotel, connected to a section of the sky garden. Not only is the layout the same as the Chinese-style mansion outside, but it is also spacious and has a dedicated cleaning service.
Ming Jinyan sat on a wicker chair under the grape trellis. The temperature was just right today, and a gentle breeze was blowing.
He pretended to take a nap, his eyes closed, the wicker chair swaying gently, and a profound foreign philosophy book beside him.
Lu Mingzhu walked over quietly and saw the cover of the book, which was the one that "Hou Chen" had once shared with her.
At that time, she found these voluminous works daunting, yet she admired those who could devour them and felt a great deal of refinement in them, so she couldn't help but pay more attention to them.
Ming Jinyan did not move.
Lu Mingzhu called out softly, "Mr. Ming."
