Chapter 183: Conspiracy

The sky was getting dark, and the moon was bright and starry.

Bai Cen returned to Lu's house, and his mood was calm all the way.

She originally thought that she would be sad to see Zhan Zhaochen and Shen Yuehuan together, after all, Zhan Zhaochen was the person she used to like, and the first person she liked, but no.

She didn't know her heart, but for Zhan Zhaochen, she no longer had vain expectations.

The Lu family's garden is very elegantly pruned, especially with a few gardenias, which are in full bloom.

However, just a few steps into the garden, Bai Cen heard someone talking behind a poplar tree not far away, and the voice seemed to be familiar.

"Good boy, call your mother when you miss it, you know?"

"Oh, don't worry about your mother, it's okay for your mother to be here, you have to take care of yourself when you're alone abroad, live well, and tell your mother if you're short of money."

After listening to a few words, Bai Cen was stunned. It turned out to be Rocco?

It stands to reason that she is the mistress of this house, and there is no need to be sneaky on the phone, and she has to run to the garden.

And that gentle tone, Bai Cen heard it from Luo Ke's mouth for the first time, and he only felt goosebumps all over his body. Rocco, who has always had a cold face, has such a kind and kind time? This tone ...... It was as if she was talking to her child.

But Luo Ke would never have spoken to Lu Jingnian so kindly, especially not in front of Lu's family.

Could it be that Rocco still has a child?

Bai Cen has always been a man of action, and when he has doubts in his heart, he wants to figure it out, and the matter of the Lu family is still the most appropriate to ask Grandma Lu.

Listening to Rocco's side before he hung up the phone, Bai Cen got up, stood on tiptoe, and walked out of the garden from another path to the living room.

Grandma Lu wore a pair of reading glasses with gold wire frames, held a book in her hand, and flipped through it quietly, the warm yellow light shone on her elegant figure, and her silver-white hair shone brightly, looking so graceful and luxurious.

"Grandma." As soon as Bai Cen entered the door, he greeted Grandma Lu politely.

"Xiao Cen is back, sit down and talk to grandma for a while." Grandma Lu was still very satisfied with Bai Cen's granddaughter-in-law, and she was very happy when she saw her, showing a smile.

"Hey, grandma is reading?" Bai Cen sat next to Grandma Lu, leaning sideways to read the book in her hand.

"Well, it's just to pass the time." Grandma Lu's words were vaguely filled with the helplessness of being an old man.

"Grandma, I have a question for you." Bai Cen duly diverted the topic.

"Okay, you ask." Grandma Lu replied.

"Grandma, I want to ask, does Mom still have a child? I accidentally heard her on the phone, but why hadn't I heard anyone mention it before? Bai Cen asked softly, his clear and bright eyes hiding confusion.

Bai Cen didn't intend to hide the fact that she was eavesdropping, because she could see that Grandma Lu was a wise old lady.

Hearing Bai Cen's question, Grandma Lu was stunned for a moment, her hands trembled faintly, and the book in her hand almost slipped off her fingertips, but Bai Cen helped catch it.

Seeing Grandma Lu's slightly cold face, Bai Cen probably had the answer in his heart.

Bai Cen poured a cup of tea for Grandma Lu to soothe her emotions.

"Alas, before Luo Ke entered the Lu family, he had a child with his ex-husband, one year older than Jing Nian, but he is not in the country now." Grandma Lu frowned, as if she was worried about this matter, holding the teacup in her hand, but she was not in the mood to drink it.

"I see." Bai Cen bowed slightly.

It's right to think about it, how many people are eyeing such a big family business as the Lu family. Luo Ke's son is not surnamed Lu, if Luo Ke's mother and son covet the Lu family's property, Grandma Lu will naturally mind.

If this is the case, it makes even more sense why Luo Ke, the stepmother, is in a hurry to get rid of Lu Jingnian, of course, to pave the way for her child.

In the Lu family, Lu Jingnian is the rightful heir, so Luo Ke must regard him as a thorn in the flesh in secret, and he wants to get rid of him quickly.

Thinking of this, Bai Cen couldn't help but sweat for Lu Jingnian again.

"Grandma, it's getting late, I'll help you back to your room." Bai Cen said obediently, smiling with crooked eyes.

"Okay, our Xiao Cen is sensible." Grandma Lu looked at Bai Cen, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

Although accompanied by a maid, Grandma Lu still held Bai Cen's hand and smiled with her and returned to the room.

"Grandma, you can rest early, I'll go back to my room first." Bai Cen smiled and said softly.

"Okay, you've been busy all day, go back to sleep, young people should go to bed early to have energy." Grandma Lu said with a smile, with a kind smile.

"Well, I see, good night grandma."

After speaking, Bai Cen walked towards her room, still thinking about Luo Ke's assassination of Lu Jingnian.

Back in the room, Bai Cen lay down on the bed tired and rested for a while. Then he relied on his tenacious will to stand up and plan to take a bath, but before he could leave, he received a text message, which was sent by Zhan Zhaochen.

The text message said that he had found a driver who worked in the Lu family back then, named Zhang Feng, who had now returned to his hometown to work, and asked Bai Cen if he wanted to go with him to check.

Bai Cen didn't expect Zhan Zhaochen's efficiency to be quite high, and he didn't talk to him for long before he found out the information about the driver.

Even if there is only a little clue, Bai Cen still has to check it, not to mention that he now has the driver's address. So Bai Cen replied to Zhan Zhaochen, saying that she would go with him on the weekend.

Bai Cen got up and went to take a shower, thinking about how to extract useful information from the driver's mouth when the time came.

On the weekend, the sun was warm, and Bai Cen packed his luggage and went to the airport to meet Zhan Zhaochen.

Because he heard that he was going to a small town, Bai Cen wore an aqua blue pastoral floral skirt so as not to look too abrupt.

As soon as she arrived at the airport, Bai Cen saw Zhan Zhaochen waiting for her at the door from a distance.

Bai Cen waved his hand to Zhan Zhaochen, but he froze in place, his eyes were dull, and he didn't seem to react.

"What do you think?" Bai Cen walked quickly to Zhan Zhaochen's side and snapped his fingers in front of his eyes.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Zhan Zhaochen came to his senses and replied awkwardly.

Since Bai Cen appeared in Zhan Zhaochen's life again, it was the first time he saw her dressed like a little girl. In a trance, he seemed to see the little girl who always had a bright smile on her face and didn't eat the fireworks of the world, so he was stunned unconsciously.

"Then let's get going." Bai Cen said lightly.

"Okay, okay...... I'll help you with your luggage. Zhan Zhaochen reached out to take Bai Cen's suitcase.

"No need, I'll do it myself."

Yes, he forgot that Bai Cen was no longer the little girl who needed his care in every way, and now she had Lu Jingnian by her side.

He also knows that in the future, his identity is, and can only be, a friend......
