Chapter 133: Why bother in the first place
Su Jian felt a little thirsty, so she got up from the bed and wanted to drink water. Please()
Seeing that there was no water next to the bed, I had to open the door and go downstairs. However, before she reached the staircase, she heard Wang Xiaochen's pitiful cry downstairs, and the voice of Steward Wang's self-blame.
"Mr. Lu, I'm sorry for you. Xiaochen did something really wrong, so my father didn't have the face to intercede for her. I only ask you to spare her life, and I will not intercede for any other punishment. β
When Su Jian heard this, she couldn't help but speed up her pace and walked to the staircase, and saw Lu Sinian sitting on the sofa with a cold face, while Steward Wang dragged Wang Xiaochen to kneel in front of Lu Sinian.
Steward Wang is also an old man, and now he is affected by his own daughter, so Su Jian can't help but feel sympathy.
She walked down the stairs, and a servant saw her sharply, and hurriedly spoke, "Madam, you are awake." β
Lu Sinian immediately stood up, and sure enough, he saw Su Jian in a white nightdress walking downstairs, she even forgot to put on her slippers, and her little snow-white feet like lotus roots were stepping on the cold stairs.
Lu Sinian's handsome face suddenly became bad.
"What's going on downstairs? You have a high fever and you should lie in bed and get some rest. β
He walked to Su Jian's side and wanted to hug Su Jianlou.
Su Jian put his two hands on Lu Sinian's shoulders in a gesture of refusal, not letting him hold him.
"I just want to go downstairs and get some water." When Lu Sinian heard this, he immediately turned around and motioned to the servant to pour water for Su Jian, and then regardless of the eyes of the people around him, he couldn't help but carry Su Jian upstairs.
Wang Xiaochen looked at Lu Sinian holding Su Jian's back, and a sour pain appeared in his eyes. When Steward Wang next to him saw it, he immediately stretched out his hand in anger and patted Wang Xiaochen's shoulder vigorously, "What are you still unwilling to do?" How could Mr. Lu like you. β
"Dad, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I won't be resigned. β
Wang Xiaochen looked at his father as if he was twenty years old in an instant, his heart ached, and he lowered his head and stopped talking. In fact, now she has seen the reality clearly, and she also understands that it is impossible for her to replace Madame.
The reason why there is still nostalgia is just a secret love for many years, and it will not disappear so quickly.
"Why did you bring me here again, I still want to talk to Steward Wang." Su Jian was carried to the bed by Lu Sinian and said a little reluctantly.
Lu Sinian covered her with a quilt on her body, and touched her somewhat hot forehead and said unhappily: "What is there to say, he is no longer the housekeeper of the manor now, and his daughter has also harmed you." β
"But his daughter eventually saved me. You won't really punish Wang Xiaochen, will you? β
Su Jian obediently lay on the bed, looking at Lu Sinian with a pair of beautiful eyes like shearwater and asked.
"Doing something wrong deserves the punishment it deserves. I promised you not to let her die, but I didn't say she wouldn't be punished. You don't have to intercede for her in this matter, I will never compromise. β
Su Jian looked at Lu Sinian's expression and knew that there was no room for maneuver in the matter.
"Steward Wang is so pitiful, he has always been loyal to you."
"So I won't implicate him, and his later life won't be affected because of Wang Xiaochen." Lu Sinian's answer was like giving Su Jian a reassurance, which made her finally feel at ease.
After drinking the water, Lu Sinian called the private doctor over, and gave Su Jian a bottle of medicine, which contained calming ingredients, so Su Jian slept directly to the next day.
It wasn't until two days later, after her cold gradually improved, that Lu Sinian told her that Wang Xiaochen had been sent to the police station and that she would stay there for a few years.
Su Jian thought for a while and said to Lu Sinian, "Can I go and see her." β
Lu Sinian looked at her for a moment, and finally nodded.
Wang Xiaochen was very surprised that Su Jian would be the first person besides his father to come to the prison to see him, so when he met Su Jian, he didn't know what to say for a while.
Su Jian found that after only a few days of not seeing him, Wang Xiaochen had lost a lot of weight. Looking at Wang Xiaochen's thin face, Su Jian's mind suddenly made up many pictures of her being bullied in prison.
"No one bullied you, right?"
So, as soon as Su Jian opened his mouth, he asked this sentence. Wang Xiaochen was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly laughed.
"Madame, I'm fine. Although there will be some friction, my personality is not so weak, and others will not bully me. β
Su Jian sighed, and then didn't know what to say to Wang Xiaochen. Originally, she still had a lot of things she wanted to ask Wang Xiaochen, but now looking at Wang Xiaochen's appearance in prison clothes, she suddenly felt that the words in her heart, even if they were asked, had no meaning.
"I'll try to find a way to keep you here for a few less years, and you don't have to worry that Steward Wang won't be taken care of. Although Lu Sinian looks a little cold, he is actually very nostalgic. β
After being silent for a long time, Su Jian said to Wang Xiaochen.
"Ma'am, you don't have to find a way to reduce my sentence. In fact, I can feel more at ease this way, after all, I almost killed you in the first place. Mr. Lu asked me to stay here, and he was already very tolerant. β
Wang Xiaochen rejected Su Jian and expressed his sincere desire to repent in prison. Su Jian looked at the elite girl from the prestigious university in front of her, couldn't help but sigh, and after chatting with her for a few words, she left the visiting room with some heavy steps.
Leaving there, the warm sunlight outside made Su Jian's suffocating feeling disappear, and under a plane tree, a slender man in a suit was standing in the shadows. Su Jian suddenly felt that he was like that hundred-year-old sycamore, and his majestic posture made people feel dependent and safe.
Seeing Su Jian, the man's stunning and handsome face melted like an iceberg, the smile on the corner of his lips was as warm as the golden sun, and Su Jian's heart also became warmer.
"What did you talk about?"
After leaving the police station and getting into the car, Lu Sinian asked Su Jian in the car.
"Nothing, just a few casual words. Alas, if you know today, why bother in the first place? β
Su Jian leaned on Lu Sinian's arms and sighed heavily.
"People always take responsibility for what they have done. You don't have to pity her, such a result is already the greatest tolerance for her. β
Lu Sinian's face was expressionless.
"By the way, once because of me, it hurt Allen. Do you know his contact details? I want to see him, and I haven't thanked him yet. β
Su Jian suddenly remembered Allen, so she sat up straight, looked at Lu Sinian and asked.
"Don't worry, I've already thanked him." Lu Sinian stretched out his hand, held Su Jian's hand and said with a smile.
"But I haven't thanked him personally."
"Okay, I'll call him and ask him to come to the manor late, how about it?" Lu Sinian looked at Su Jian with doting eyes, and said in a magnetic voice.
"Okay, then I'll go back and let the kitchen prepare dinner."
Su Jian nodded contentedly and lay back in Lu Sinian's arms.
After receiving a call from Lu Sinian, Allen really agreed to come as a guest late. Su Jian started in the afternoon and let the chefs start to get busy. Seeing her so serious, Lu Sinian couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw her.
So he hugged her from behind Su Jian and encircled her in his arms, "Why have you never been so attentive to me?" β
"Whoever said no, I cooked for you myself. You're naΓ―ve or not, Alan is a distinguished guest, of course I have to value it. β
Su Jian was speechless, stretched out her hand and poked Lu Sinian's chest and glared at him. Lu Sinian smiled, kissed her on the cheek, and said no more.
When the servants saw the loving appearance of President Lu's wife, they couldn't help but show envious expressions. At the same time, I also felt that Wang Xiaochen was really unclear at the beginning, and he wanted to become Mr. Lu's woman. almost killed his wife, not to mention, even the conscientious housekeeper Wang was involved.
When it was evening, Alan arrived as promised. He wears a more casual casual outfit, and he doesn't hide his model-like figure at all. Those dark blue eyes, when looking at the maid, even if they didn't speak, the young maid's face couldn't help but turn red, revealing a shy look.
When Su Jian went out to greet him, he saw his overly beautiful face and felt that it was a pity for him to be an agent.
After all, with Allen's external conditions, he still has the potential to become a star.
"Su Jian, I am relieved to see that your complexion is better. I'm still wondering when I'm going to come and see you these days. When Alan saw Su Jian, he immediately showed a happy smile, as dazzling as the sun. However, after seeing Lu Sinian beside Su Jian, the light in his eyes was still imperceptibly dimmed.
"Thank you for your concern. I'm fine, but you, I'm not lightly affected. Su Jian smiled politely at him, with a look of gratitude in her eyes.
"Nothing, don't say we're friends anymore. No, I can't watch you being taken away. β
Alan said disapprovingly. When Su Jian heard him say that the two of them were friends, she was stunned for a moment, thinking that before she experienced being kidnapped, they were just a little familiar with strangers.
But thinking that the two of them have experienced such a dangerous thing together, I feel that Allen's words are not wrong.
Dinner was prepared sumptuously, and it was all meals, and Alan ate it with relish.
"Su Jian, these meals are really better than the dishes made in the restaurants I've been to. Did you prepare it all yourself? Alan asked as he looked at Su Jian while eating.
Su Jian shook his head, "It's made by my family's chef." The delicious food you eat is also the highest compliment to their cooking skills. β
This made Alan regret a little, he originally thought that Su Jian had prepared it himself.
"Alan, thank you for saving my lady. If you hadn't brought her out of the ice room in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable. β
Even though he had already thanked him once, Lu Sinian still raised the wine glass in his hand and thanked Alan solemnly again.
