The driver continued, "How did Mr. Ji know there was medicine in that glass of wine? Mr. Ji's assistant came up and exposed the Second Miss Lu."

Every word the driver said pieced together in her mind.

Lu Tang's heart trembled, and she looked up at the office on the top floor which was still lit.

So from the moment she was spilled wine by the waiter, it was all arranged by Ji Shengzhou?

Is it so that she can avoid Lu Xiaoxiao and avoid being set up?

But why did Ji Shengzhou do this?

Lu Tang couldn't understand.

Staring at the chat box on her phone, she hesitated for a moment and sent a message.

【Lu Tang: Why are you helping me? 】

Ji Shengzhou replied immediately.

Ji Shengzhou: You figured it out? Miss Lu is smarter than I thought.

Ji Shengzhou: I told you the answer that day, Miss Lu. Come with me and try it.

There it is again.

Lu Tang took a deep breath and felt a little touched in his heart.

Today was the first time she had felt this way since she turned three.

For the first time, someone protected her.

She looked out the window, where the lights were bright and neon-lit, but there was no light that belonged to her.

Everyone she loved betrayed her.

The only person who loved her was lost when she was three years old.

Lu Tang admitted that she lacked love, which was her most fatal weakness.

In the subject of love, when someone throws out three cards, she can't wait to show off her trump card.

Lu Tang's finger fell on the phone screen and typed a line of words.

She replied: "Mr. Ji, I'm sorry, I already have a husband."

She pressed the "send" button and clasped her hands together.

After passing the annual meeting, Lu Tang became a formal employee of MJ.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she received the official employment report.

Before Lu Tang could breathe a sigh of relief, his cell phone rang.

It was Ji Xuan calling.

Lu Tang frowned slightly and hung up the phone.

The next second, another call came in.

"Lu Tang, come to the old house right now." Ji Xuan lowered his voice significantly.

Lu Tang realized something was wrong: "What happened?"

The one who answered her was not Ji Xuan, but Grandpa Ji's voice.

Grandpa Ji roared, "You have brought shame upon the Ji family!"

"What use do I have for you!"

Through the phone, she could even hear the sound of something being smashed.

Lu Tang's heart seemed to skip a beat. This was the first time she saw Grandpa Ji lose control of his emotions like this.

Even when Ji Xuan embezzled public funds and it was exposed at night, Grandpa Ji didn't get angry at all.

So what happened to the old house? !

In the afternoon, she left with her bag without waiting for the end of get off work.

Lu Tang drove straight to the Ji family's old house.

Before entering the house, Grandpa Ji's angry voice came from inside the house.

Lu Tang trotted to the lobby, only to find the door was closed.

And Grandpa Ji’s scolding continued.

"Ji Xuan! What else do you want!"

"If you go find that woman again, you won't get a penny of the Ji family's money!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a few muffled sounds were heard, which were obviously the sound of being hit with a cane.

After the beating, Grandpa Ji beat him again and yelled, "Get out of here!"

Hearing the footsteps, the door of the lobby was opened and Ji Xuan walked out.

"Close the door tightly!" Grandpa Ji roared.

Lu Tang was standing behind the door, and Grandpa Ji didn't see her.

Ji Xuan closed the door, turned around, and met her eyes.

Seeing Ji Xuan's face swollen like a pig's head after being beaten, Lu Tang just wanted to laugh.

"Why did you call me here? To laugh at you?" Lu Tang said jokingly.

Ji Xuan raised his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "Why don't you come in? If you go in, I won't have to take a beating!"

After hearing this, Lu Tang realized that Ji Xuan wanted to bring her in as a reinforcement.

Before she could finish her mocking words, the sound of something being smashed came from inside the house.

Grandpa Ji's furious voice came from inside the house: "What do you mean? Are you really going to be happy only when you piss off this old man of mine to death?"

"Ji Shengzhou, have I spoiled you too much?"

Hearing this familiar name, a hint of seriousness flashed in Lu Tang's eyes.

There is also...Ji Shengzhou in the room?

Lu Tang turned around and was about to ask Ji Xuan what was going on when he left.

Then, there were several more muffled sounds.

Could it be because she and Ji Shengzhou were discovered in the lounge yesterday?

Lu Tang's heart felt like it was being pulled apart, and panic swept through her mind.

She looked through the crack in the door and could only see Ji Shengzhou's back kneeling on the ground and the broken glass fragments on the ground.

"Ji Shengzhou, if you had any sense of responsibility, you wouldn't have caused me what happened last night!"

"You are responsible for the entire Ji family. Whether it's marriage or work, it's not up to you!"

Grandpa Ji coughed in anger: "Who was that woman last night?"

Lu Tang, who was standing outside the door, took a deep breath and his palms were full of sweat.

"Dad, you hit me." Ji Shengzhou said in a calm tone.

"Don't tell me, right?"

"Hand me the crutches!"

As the words fell, there were several more heavy sounds.

Every voice fell on Lu Tang's heart. She stood outside the door, unable to breathe.

She didn't know how long she stood outside the door. The muffled noise in the house gradually disappeared and turned into footsteps.

Grandpa Ji was exhausted from speaking: "Come here! Help me go back! Let this rebellious son kneel here!"

Lu Tang was so absorbed that the lobby door was opened before she came to her senses.

It was Grandpa Ji who interrupted her: "Xiaotang girl, why are you here?"

Grandpa Ji’s voice became hoarse.

Lu Tang's body trembled with fear: "I...I came to see you."

Grandpa Ji smiled: "It's Xiaotang who makes me worry less. Every one of them makes me worry less!"

"Let's go have some tea with grandpa."

Lu Tang was pulled to the study by Grandpa Ji.

Although he was sitting there, Lu Tang's heart was still outside the lobby.

Grandpa Ji was very nice to her just now, so it was obvious that she didn't reveal the truth last night.

Why is that?

Grandpa Ji took Lu Tang to the study.

The two of them sat facing each other, and the tea on the table was steaming hot.

An inexplicable sense of guilt surged up in Lu Tang, and he didn't dare to look directly at Grandpa Ji.

Grandpa Ji spoke first: "Xiaotang, why did you come here suddenly?"

How to answer this question?

Lu Tang was a little stunned. She couldn't say that Ji Xuan had called her to mediate.

Of course, she didn't say it, but Grandpa Ji guessed it: "Did that kid Ji Xuan call you?"

As he spoke, Grandpa Ji became angry again: "What a prodigal son! It's a shame for our Ji family to raise such a rebellious son!"

"Every one of them makes me worry!"

Lu Tang picked up the tea, took a sip, and asked tentatively, "Grandpa, did Ji Shengzhou... make you angry too?"

Grandpa Ji sighed, and his eyes dimmed.
