Rebirth: A Super Foodie and Her Cat Demon Husband

Lu Mingzhi continued speaking unmoved.

"Fourth question. Were the blueprints for the Dream of Love project the ones you asked her to get?"

"No, I just asked her to help me pick up the earrings that fell there." This time Lu Meichen answered quickly without hesitation.

However, Lu Mingzhi didn't seem to care about the answer.

"Fifth question. So all of this was fabricated by you, Lu Meichen? The design drawings had already been 'stolen' by someone else before this. You want to shift the blame to Lu Yuanyuan?"

Lu Meichen fell silent again at this last question. The silence grew longer, so long that Lu Yuanyuan thought she had already left, leaving only her phone behind.

But they all knew that Lu Meichen was still on the other end of the phone and had not hung up.

Perhaps it was fear, or perhaps it was struggle, that's why Lu Meichen didn't respond for a long time.

I don’t know how long the phone was silent, but finally, Lu Meichen’s choked voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Third brother, please give me another chance. I know Yuanyuan's death has caused you great pain, but I really didn't expect it to end like this. I really know I was wrong. Third brother, please help me, tell you the truth, and please let me go."

"So Lu Meichen is admitting that she was passing the blame to Lu Yuanyuan, right?" Lu Mingzhi's tone instantly turned cold.

This cold tone made Lu Meichen realize that Lu Mingzhi had made up his mind. No matter how much she begged, he would never give up the recording and seek the truth.

Maybe if I tell the truth, the final result will be better than if Lu Mingzhi investigates everything clearly.

After all, there are still many things that Lu Mingzhi cannot reveal.

Once it is found out, you may not even know how you died.

Lu Meichen stopped begging and said weakly, "That's right, but you only guessed part of it right. Let me tell you the truth.

If you want to record it, go ahead. It has already happened anyway and all the clues are in your hands. It makes no difference whether I tell you or not.

It's just that you may not have the most crucial evidence. Because I don't have that evidence myself.

At first, the drawings were not lost, I just hid them. I thought that I would take them out as a backup after two days, so that it would appear that I was foresighted.

Even if I don't take it out, I can open a studio myself and make this set of jewelry.

But I never imagined that the person I was working with was actually a corporate spy for my rival. He not only stole my drawings, but also took away all my backups.

I had no choice but to put the blame on Yuanyuan. I was thinking that after all, she had not participated in the project, she was not the heir to the family, and had no connection with the company.

She took the blame for me temporarily, as it had no impact on her future. After the incident was over, I would find a reason to help her get rid of the blame. But who could have thought that because of this little thing, she would be so upset that she jumped off the building and committed suicide.

She's almost 30 years old, and she can't even handle this."

Lu Meichen's words made the veins in Lu Mingzhi's hand holding the phone bulge, but he still gritted his teeth and tried hard to control his emotions.

"So, Lu Meichen, you admit that you want to shift the responsibility for the lost drawings to Lu Yuanyuan, right?"

Anyway, everything that had been said before had already been said, so Lu Meichen admitted directly: "Yes, that's right. But I didn't expect there would be such serious consequences. Third brother, please, I'm begging you. I know I was wrong. Can you help me find evidence to prove that I was also deceived?"

Lu Mingzhi didn't answer Lu Meichen immediately. Instead, after a moment of silence, he said, "Since you also know how uncomfortable it is to be framed, why didn't you consider Yuanyuan's feelings when you framed her?"

After saying this, Lu Mingzhi hung up the phone without giving Lu Meichen a chance to speak.

Lu Yuanyuan floated in the air, staring at her third brother in a daze.

An incredible feeling passed through my heart.

So it's that simple to clear your name?

This makes his suicide seem like a joke.

And tears just flowed down Lu Yuanyuan's face.

After Lu Mingzhi hung up the phone, he took a deep breath, clicked on the recording file to play, and threw the phone on the desk.

Then he pulled out a bottle of medicine from the drawer and played with it in his hands.

With tears in her eyes, Lu Yuanyuan found the medicine bottle to be unusually familiar.

She quickly wiped her tears and floated to her third brother's side.

Lu Yuanyuan took a closer look and found that it was exactly the same medicine she was taking.

This is fluoxetine hydrochloride for treating depression. She has been taking this medicine for a long time, but recently there have been signs of improvement, so she has stopped taking it for a while.

But why did the always cheerful Third Brother have this medicine? Could it be that Third Brother also had depression? This realization made her anxiously spin around.

After playing with the medicine for a while, Lu Mingzhi sighed deeply, his face full of helplessness and heartache, and muttered to himself: "Silly girl, don't you still have me and grandpa?" After that, he put the medicine bottle back in the drawer.

Seeing that Lu Mingzhi did not take the medicine, Lu Yuanyuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Before she could completely relax, she felt a slight chill on her forehead.

Perhaps because of the two previous experiences, Lu Yuanyuan was no longer dazed when she woke up again.

As soon as she opened her eyes she sat up immediately.

But this time, when she stood up, she saw a room full of people.

This scared her.

But when she saw everyone in the room clearly, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then she was overwhelmed with sadness.

The people in the room were none other than the Lu family and the Liu couple.

Among this group of people was the old man of the Lu family, who was wearing an oxygen tank.

What was special was that Lu Meichen was being held by two bodyguards, with several rounds of tape on her mouth. There was probably something stuffed in her mouth, so she couldn't speak and kept whimpering.

The old man's eyes were red as he said, "Third brother, tell me everything you've investigated. No one believes Xiao Yuanyuan, and no one will make the decision for her. I'll make the decision."

Lu Mingzhi looked a bit dejected and haggard. But without hesitation, he pulled out a thick file from a seemingly thick document bag. Inside were piles of written materials and numerous photographs.

After taking these things out and putting them on the table, Lu Mingzhi took out a recorder, pressed the play button, and placed it on the table in front of him.

Not only the Lu family was shocked by the content that came out, but even Lu Yuanyuan herself was shocked.

It contained not only the recording of Lu Meichen admitting to putting the blame on herself, but also many recordings of conversations with people related to Lu Meichen.

Many of them were people I knew, and most importantly, two of them were my ex-boyfriends.

At this moment, Lu Yuanyuan realized that her unfortunate life was all caused by Lu Meichen.

This realization reignited Lu Yuanyuan's anger and hatred, which had subsided.

Her sanity began to crumble, and anger and hatred began to gradually invade her consciousness.
