"incest?"

These two words stunned the five people on the opposite side. Lu Yunfan's face flushed red: "Shen Lan, did you learn Chinese from the physical education teacher? This is a metaphor, a metaphor. You and I are not related by blood!"

"That's a good thing, otherwise I would be sick to death if I had the same blood as you."

With just one sentence, he scolded all four members of the Lu family.

Lu Yunqing was the first to lose her temper, her pretty face showing a bit of ferocity: "Shen Lan, what do you mean by that!"

"Isn't it what I mean? Don't you understand? I told you to study hard, but you're still illiterate even after graduating."

Shen Lan's voice was cold and his words were clear, completely different from his usual dull and rigid appearance.

Lu Chuan narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully: "Shen Lan, why does Uncle Lu feel that you seem to have changed?"

"Of course I have to change. I was so sincere to Lu Yunfan, but he treated me like a donkey's liver and lungs, and he only cared about protecting Zhou Xinran, which almost made me..."

Shen Lan bit her lip and didn't say anything else: "Swearing a few oaths can erase the mistakes, how can there be such a good thing in the world? I stabbed him, then cried and apologized, do you think he will forgive me?"

Tao Lan was furious. She sneered and said sarcastically, "It's different now that you've climbed up the social ladder. You're so confident when you speak. You've only been living in the Xiao family for a day and you already don't take our Lu family seriously."

Shen Lan looked at her and curled his lips: "Yes, then I have to thank you. It was you who pushed me to climb this high branch."

Tao Lan's expression froze, and she turned to Lu Chuan and yelled, "Look at her. She usually pretends to be so honest, but now her fox tail is exposed. She dares to talk to me like this before even entering the door. If Yun Fan marries her in the future, she will definitely make trouble!"

"Hubby, if she wants to break off the engagement, she can just do it..."

"Shut up!" Lu Chuan shouted.

Lu Yunfan also frowned and said, "Mom, please stop talking."

Seeing them all siding with Shen Lan, Tao Lan was so angry that her chest felt tight. "Okay, you all protect her, do you still have eyes for me? I, I don't care!"

After saying that, she ran into the house angrily. Zhou Xinran hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly trotted after her.

Lu Chuan frowned, looking embarrassed: "Shen Lan, I've already whipped him, are you still not satisfied? Otherwise, I'll whip him a few more times until you calm down."

As he was about to go back and get the whip, Lu Yunqing hurriedly stopped him: "Dad, my brother is not in good health and had a fever last night. You can't do it again."

As she spoke, she turned her head and glared at Shen Lan fiercely: "My brother has already broken up with Sister Xinran. He has knelt and been whipped. That's enough. Don't be shameless."

Shen Lan watched the father and daughter arguing with an expressionless face. Lu Chuan looked like he was going to take out the whip, but in fact his feet didn't move at all. He was just acting in front of her.

"Uncle Lu, let's not do that. If Lu Yunfan is beaten to death, you will all blame it on me, and that would be so unfair to me."

Lu Chuan didn't expect her to be so cruel that she didn't care about Lu Yunfan's life or death. Things became a little tricky.

"Are you sure you want to cancel the engagement?"

"Sure." Shen Lan nodded firmly. "My parents arranged this marriage for me because they wanted me to marry someone they knew well, so that I could live a better life in the future."

"But Lu Yunfan doesn't like me, and my aunt and Lu Yunqing also have a problem with me. If they force us to be together, we're destined to become a couple with grudges. This is a bond of love, not a bond of resentment."

Lu Chuan didn't say anything, and Lu Yunfan and his sister just stared at her blankly.

This was not what they expected.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere and people passing by the door from time to time, Lu Chuan, who was good at saving his face, asked Lu Yunfan to stand up and said to Shen Lan, "Come with me to the study. Let's talk about this matter properly."

Shen Lan nodded, a dark light flashing in his eyes: "That's right, I have something to ask you too."

She followed Lu Chuan into the house.

Lu Yunfan, supported by his sister, staggered to his feet and looked at Shen Lan's back with a dazed look on his face: "Yunqing, this is different from what Mom said."

After Shen Lan came, he didn't even look at him.

Lu Yunqing was also a little panicked: "Maybe, but what new tricks are she using? I don't believe she will give up on you. How can someone who has loved you for so long just let go? There must be a conspiracy."

Shen Lan didn't bother to care what the brother and sister said about her behind her back. She followed Lu Chuan to the study.

After the door closed, Lu Chuan spoke first: "What do you want to ask me?"

Shen Lan pursed her lips and organized her words in her mind. "Uncle Lu, you and my dad had a good relationship. When my dad was still alive, you would get together every few days. I want to ask, was there anything unusual before my parents passed away? Or, did they see anyone?"

When she said this, her eyes were fixed on Lu Chuan, not missing a single expression.
