Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Great War Is About to Begin
In the night, Nie Anxia's little hand holding the can trembled, and immediately wiped away a trace of peach on his face, and in the blink of an eye, he was dyed with a thick sense of remorse.
What was she just thinking?
Didn't you already know that Lu Shichen and himself were in a cooperative relationship? He used himself to achieve his goal, and he used him to get the Linglong Tower, how could she still have that kind of expectation that she shouldn't have?
No, Nie Anxia, you cheer me up!
No matter how good Lu Shichen is to you, it is all needed for cooperation, and it has nothing to do with feelings, so don't be mistaken!
Nie Anxia shook her head fiercely, and when she came back to her senses, a touch of pink on her face disappeared without a trace, and she was replaced with an indifferent expression.
"Anyway, thank you for worrying about me, Lu Shichen."
This feeling is actually quite subtle, from childhood to adulthood, everyone laughed at her for being a child without a mother. In addition to her father, there is only a teacher who loves her. I also have friends around me, but when I knew that she didn't have a mother since she was a child, I also chose to stay away from her.
Lu Shichen is like this, for Nie Anxia, it is really rare.
"Thank me for what? It was you who had the ability to come out of the old man's study. ”
In fact, since Lu Shichen left the study, he has not gone far, he watched Old Man Lu and Shen Shunan walk in, so he casually found a place to hide, and secretly observed the movement here.
He didn't know why, knowing that Nie Anxia was in danger, he could casually change another person to cooperate, or even change to a partner who had better conditions and a better family background than Nie Anxia, and it was easier for his grandfather to agree.
But he just couldn't rest assured, so much so that he kept waiting at the corner of the third floor with Nie Anxia's favorite coke.
"Probably. However, Grandpa Lu's suspicion of me has not been a day or two, and now that there is a matter of the library, I am afraid it is even more difficult to eliminate Grandpa Lu's wariness of me. ”
Who made Nie Anxia want to come in at the beginning, and now that this happens, he can't complain about others.
"I'm more worried about Anna's maid than that. I can't think of grandpa who can't imagine that if Anna tells me about the two of you entering the library passage, the consequences will be unimaginable! But Anna shouldn't have the courage to say this, after all, the crime of trespassing on the library is not small, if the old man knew that she knew about the existence of the library, the next thing doesn't need us to say, the old man himself will figure it out. ”
"You mean, Anna doesn't have to tell the truth?"
Originally, Nie Anxia was also worried about this matter, but now after listening to Lu Shichen's words, although he still didn't understand a little, he seemed to be reassured and stabilized a lot.
"Yes, what a mysterious place is the Lu family's library? Even I, the grandson of the Lu family, don't know, but Anna, as a maid, knows, isn't that the problem? ”
"I see! Anna knew about the library, either as told to her by someone who knew about it before, or because she had investigated it herself. Neither of these would do Anna any good. ”
Lu Shichen cast an approving glance at Nie Anxia, and the two looked at each other and smiled, and then went back to the room to rest.
For the two of them, a big war is coming.
In the early morning, the sun shone in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, as before, and shook Nie Anxia's eyes.
Nie Anxia stretched lazily in the quilt, yawned, and then slowly sat up.
"Lu Shichen, you didn't draw the curtains last night!"
Lu Shichen was also woken up by the sun, and before he could open his eyes, he saw a dark shadow coming towards him.
He couldn't dodge in a daze, and was hit by a soft thing, and when he grabbed it with his big hand, he realized that it was a pillow.
"Nie Anxia, can you not shout early in the morning, you woke up, and there are still people who haven't woken up!"
Lu Shichen was so sleepy that he lay down again, turned over, pulled up the quilt to cover the sun, and prepared to continue sleeping.
However, how could Nie Anxia let him get his wish?
"I haven't woken up yet! The sun is so big that you can still sleep? ”
She grabbed the corner of the quilt with a small hand, and slammed it hard, and Lu Shichen's face appeared in the sun again.
"You crazy woman, I'm fed up with you!" He said impatiently, but he didn't look at Nie Anxia, and walked directly towards the window, only to hear a bang, the heavy curtains were pulled shut, and the room was suddenly a lot darker. At least it's good for a lazy night's sleep.
"Isn't it just that the curtains are not drawn? Now I'll pull it on for you and go back to sleep. ”
By the time Lu Shichen had an intimate contact with the bed again, Nie Anxia had already fallen asleep.
The room suddenly became quiet, and the two people lying in the same bed also slept dimly.
At this point, the pot was already blowing up outside.
Zhuang Yuexian's personal maid was taken away by the old man, and Feng Jiaqi, who had originally taken over the task of cleaning the swimming pool, did not return overnight, and the whole person seemed to be missing.
The servants and bodyguards were immediately panicked, not knowing what their masters thought, their work was really not very easy.
For the missing Feng Jiaqi, the Lu family did not send anyone to look for it, which is even more incredible, I don't know if it was taken away by the old man, or disappeared completely.
When Lu Shangqi came out of the room, he saw this appearance, although everyone was doing what they were doing, they were all absent-minded, and occasionally they could hear their whispers, and they were all related to the two maids who disappeared.
Early in the morning, everyone's interest was obviously not high, and they were weak to work.
"The Lu family paid you to hire you, did they let you come here to chat?" Lu Shangqi said with anger in his endurance.
Zhuang Yuexian followed behind Lu Shangqi and walked over: "Shangqi, so many things have happened before, we should also understand, right?" I heard that I didn't know that Anna was taken away by the old man, and even Feng Jiaqi was gone. And no one knows what's going on. It's normal for them to panic. ”
"Really? When do I need a maid to take care of the affairs of my Lu family? Is it the loss of their money, or the loss of their lives? Lu Shangqi snorted coldly, and looked at the old man Lu's study upstairs, "Is there any movement over there?" ”
Speaking of Anna, Lu Shangqi's brows furrowed, and he was several years old in the blink of an eye.
"I didn't hear it. However, Nie Anxia was released by the old man. Should still be sleeping in the room. Let's hope this time will pass quickly. Although Zhuang Yuexian said this, she was very proud in her heart.
This matter is over quickly, and Nie Anxia's eye-catching woman can get out of the Lu family completely.
Without Nie Anxia, a guy who doesn't play cards according to common sense, even if Lu Shichen has a noble status, in the hands of his husband, he still can't turn over any flowers!
For so many years before, hasn't Lu Shichen been suppressed?
"I hope so."
In the room on the third floor, Anna cried out, she saw Nie Anxia in the warehouse, and pulled her out, and Anna didn't say a word about entering the passage of the library.
The fact that the two people who entered the library passage at the same time even denied this matter to the death seemed quite interesting.
Shen Shunan couldn't ask anything anymore, he asked two different people the same question, but the answer was the same, so does this prove that what he guessed before was wrong?
But the whole thing is well thought out, and he can't be wrong with his thoughts!
He looked at Old Man Lu who had never spoken with a pleading gaze.
Old Man Lu didn't change much, and some dim old eyes stared at Anna in front of him, falling into deep thought.
Anna's statement coincides with Nie Anxia's statement, even if it is a collusion, it may not be able to say this tightly.
This thing is stuck in an endless loop.
It was a lot quieter in the study, and at that moment, there was a sudden knock on the study door.
Shen Shun'an opened the door under the signal of Old Man Lu's eyes and let the people outside in.
The person who came in was the head of the Lu family's bodyguard, Chang Heng.
He looked hurried, walked in quickly, and bowed to Old Man Lu: "Old man, the maid Feng Jiaqi has something to say, saying that it has something to do with the library." ”
The library is now the top priority of the Lu family, Chang Heng naturally didn't dare to slack off, and quickly told the old man.
"Bring it here."
Ten minutes later, Chang Heng walked in with Feng Jiaqi, who had been locked up all night.
Shen Shunan didn't dare to delay any longer, and said directly: "If you have anything to say, just say it, since you took the initiative to say it, don't waste each other's time anymore." ”
Feng Jiaqi stood respectfully in front of Old Man Lu: "Master, after you left yesterday, I suddenly felt uneasy in my conscience, I think I should tell you the whole thing clearly, even if you really want me to leave the Lu family, I have no complaints." ”
The truth of these words was just right, and everyone present, including Chang Heng, who was a criminal investigator, felt that she was truly repentant.
"Say it." The old man sighed faintly and said in a deep voice.
"Actually, I ...... Miss Nie Anxia and I are in the same group. As soon as Feng Jiaqi said this, she heard an uproar from everyone present.
Shen Shunan was even more surprised and immediately asked. "What did you say?"
Feng Jiaqi saw that her words caused an uproar, and quickly changed her words.
"No, no, no, to be exact, I'm just a pawn under Miss Nie. It's for her to do things. ”
"Help her with things? What to do? ”
Feng Jiaqi glanced at Old Man Lu cautiously, and heard Shen Shun'an's question: "You should hurry up!" ”
That's when she told me everything......
Inside the room, the curtains blocked most of the sunlight, and Nie Anxia and Lu Shichen slept dimly.
Lu Shichen, who was never late for work in the past, coincidentally overslept today, starting his first journey of skipping work.
The two men were woken up by a knock on the door.
Nie Anxia was still sitting eating cake and drinking Coke, when there was a noise in her ears, and when she woke up suddenly, she found that it was the door of the room ringing.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
Nie Anxia looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table, nine o'clock!
It's past breakfast time, so it's no wonder someone came to wake them up.
She first pushed Lu Shichen, who rarely slept for a day, and then quickly got up to open the door.
"I know I'm up late, and you wouldn't knock so loudly on the door." She complained dissatisfied, opened the door, but saw a familiar face: "Uncle Chang Heng, why are you here?" ”
