Every word he said was like the sound of a drum that reverberated through the clouds. When they entered her ears, his words made her eardrums buzz.
Even her heart was beating strangely.
Jiang Yining looked at his cold and handsome face, and her eyes flickered slightly.
She then slowly raised her phone.
“These are the photos I’ve taken.”
Lu Zhi paused for a full two seconds before shifting his gaze from her face to her phone.
Jiang Yining secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
She quietly broke free from his arms and scrolled through the photos on her phone.
“The marks left by someone lunging into the vase are completely different from when someone pushed her into the vase. Any experienced detective can tell the difference. Lu Zhi, I didn’t hurt Chen Kexin.”
“Yes, I know.” Lu Zhi took her phone.
“Aren’t you going to confirm it with a detective?”
“No need, 1 can tell.”
Jiang Yining looked at him in surprise.
Lu Zhi lowered his head slightly and said calmly, “Do you think you’re the only one with hidden skills?”
11 IT
Alright, it seemed that she had underestimated him.
“Why didn’t you give them these at the police station?” Lu Zhi had read the detailed case report from the police station.
“I don’t trust them.”
After Chen Kexin’s “accident”, the servants at the old Lu residence had held her down until the old madam asked someone to send her to the police station, saying that they would accuse her of assault and let her spend the rest of her life in prison.
At that time, whether human or physical evidence, everything was stacked against her.
She couldn’t rule out the possibility that the old madam had planted someone in the police station.
Therefore, before Lu Zhi arrived, she wouldn’t hand over any evidence that could prove her innocence.
Lu Zhi guessed her logic and smiled. “So, you trust me?1’
“Yes, of course.”
Jiang Yining nodded without hesitation.
The annoyance Lu Zhi felt earlier had mostly dissipated, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
“Since you trust me, 1 won’t let you down either. I will dear your name in this matter.”
“Alright,” Jiang Yining answered simply.
Lu Zhi looked at the driver’s seat and said, “Qi Feng, lot’s go home first,”
Jiang Yining must be tired after all this running around.
He would send her home first to rest before he settled the matter at the old residence.
When the car arrived at their villa, it was already past 10 p.m,
Lu Zhi turned his head to look at the person beside him and realized that she had fallen asleep.
Qi Feng stopped the car and turned his head.
“Sh.” Lu Zhi interjected softly.
Qi Feng shut up right away.
Then, he got out of the car and opened the door for Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi went around to the other side of the car and carried Jiang Yining down.
Jiang Yining noticed the movement and frowned slightly.
She seemed to be waking up.
Lu Zhi stopped moving.
After a while, she calmed down and he started walking.
Qi Feng, who was standing at the side in silence, was once again forced to watch their lovey-dovey.
In the bedroom upstairs, Lu Zhi carefully put Jiang Yining on her bed, took off her shoes gently and covered her with the blanket.
He looked at her tranquil smile.
His heart fluttered.
He stood there for a long time before he slowly lowered his head and leaned closer to her rosy cheeks.
Just as he was about to kiss her, the phone in his pocket suddenly buzzed.
Lu Zhi furrowed his brows slightly, got up, and walked outside.
“What’s the matter?” he asked as he picked up the call.
“Ah Zhi, Kexin has woken up. She… She asked to see you.” Chen Qinglian said over the phone.
“Sure, I want to see her too.”
Lu Zhi’s expression was cold, his tone icy.
Chen Qinglian wanted to say something, but Lu Zhi didn’t give her the chance and hung up the phone.
At the hospital, when Chen Qinglian heard the dial tone on her phone, her heart sank.
Ah Zhi had been ignoring her since the last incident.
She knew that he was still angry at her.
Therefore, she held back any actions that could be seen as going overboard.
But she didn’t expect Kexin to blatantly go after Jiang Yining today!
She wondered how much Ah Zhi had found out.
The more Chen Qinglian thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.
When she returned to the ward worriedly, she saw Old Madam Lu holding Kexin’s hand and crying. “You’ve been practicing the piano for so long. How heartbroken you must be now that your hand is crippled. How could that b*tch Jiang Yining be so…”
Chen Qinglian walked up and interrupted, “Old Madam, if she can’t play the piano anymore, she can stop. As long as she’s alive…”
Her words sounded comforting, but she was, in fact, accusing Jiang Yining of cruelty and for bullying her daughter and her.
“No, we can’t just take this lying down. Not only am 1 going to kick Jiang Yining out of the Lu family, but I’m also going to send her to jail!” Old Madam Lu said angrily.
Chen Kexin shook her head. “Grandma, it’s my fault. It’s really not Yining who pushed me…”
“You’re still protecting her now? Kexin, you’re too kind, that’s why you’re bullied.”
“Grandma…”
Chen Kexin was so excited that she wanted to sit up, but she pulled her wound and the pain caused cold sweat to flow down her forehead.
Old Madam Lu hurriedly stood up and pushed her back into bed. “Have a good rest. Don’t anyhow move. The doctor said that if this wound doesn’t heal, your left hand will be crippled!”
Chen Kexin cried silently as she heard this.
Chen Qinglian’s heart ached for her daughter.
It wasn’t worth it at all to frame Jiang Yining like that.
If she had been there, she would have stopped her daughter.
Just as she was thinking, the door to the ward was pushed open.
All three people in the ward looked at the door in unison.
Lu Zhi walked into the ward and his gaze landed on Chen Kexin in the hospital bed.
She had just come out of surgery and her face was pale and devoid of blood.
She looked ill…
“What did the doctor say?” Lu Zhi asked.
“A shard cut into a vein in her left wrist. She has lost a lot of blood and would need to rest for three months, or her hand will be crippled.” Chen Qinglian continued, “There are nearly a hundred more wounds on her body.”
“Brother Ah Zhi, I’m not in pain at all. You don’t have to worry about me.” Chen Kexin stared at Lu Zhi affectionately with her innocent eyes.
He finally cared about her.
Ever since Jiang Yining married into the Lu family, he never looked her in the eye again.
Chen Kexin felt that the pain on her body was nothing as long as Lu Zhi kept his eyes on her, even if she had to die.
She would happily accept that.
“Why would he worry about you? He only has that vixen Jiang Yining in his heart.” Old Madam Lu sneered and looked at Lu Zhi from the corner of her eyes.
“Why did you come back? Weren’t you going to accompany your little vixen? She should be shivering in the police station right now. I’m telling you, 1 won’t let her off.. She had deliberately hurt Kexin this time, so she must be prepared to pay the price! Hmph, I want her to spend the rest of her life in prison!”
