Chapter 95 - Did Lu Jue recognize her or did he not? (2)

Ning Zhi’s sprained ankle was still swollen and she needed about a week’s rest. She was still hopping like a rabbit when she walked.

She saw Mother Lu working on flower arrangement when she got down to the first floor.

“Why didn’t you stay and rest in your room with your foot injury?” said Mother Lu when she saw Ning Zhi limping over. “You should ask someone for help so you won’t risk injuring yourself again.”

Ning Zhi limped over and sat down on the couch. “It’s alright. My foot is not really hurting anymore.”

Even just staying at home, Mother Lu was dressed in very dignified and delicate manner. Her extravagance that was built up over the years shown through every one of her motions.

Had Lu Jue not have autism or that his illness could improve or even be cured, Mother Lu’s life would be even happier.

Ning Zhi asked Mother Lu if they had found out more after the driver from yesterday had been arrested.

“Dong Zhou had someone looking into it already. So far we hadn’t found anything suspicious. The driver had a lot to drink and the incident was ruled a DUI preliminarily,” said Mother Lu to Ning Zhi. “To be thorough, Lu Shenyuan will continue to follow up on this.”

Ning Zhi was surprised. Lu Shenyuan would be the one following up on it?

Mother Lu said, “Shenyuan was the one who brought it up. He said this might not be a simple DUI.”

Ning Zhi frowned. She felt that there was more to it. Perhaps it was because she didn’t trust the front that Lu Shenyuan put up usually and that she didn’t trust him.

Ning Zhi asked tentatively, “Who will you side with if conflict ever happens between Lu Jue and Lu Shenyuan?”

Mother Lu smiled and said in an affirmative way, “That scenario you are describing will never happen.”

Under Ning Zhi’s questioning look, Mother Lu told her, “Shenyuan loves Xiao Jue. He would let Xiao Jue have what he wants and will not have conflicts with him.

“You have no idea. Shenyuan had saved Xiao Jue before in the past.”

Ning Zhi was shocked. Lu Shenyuan had saved Lu Jue?

She asked curious, “Mom, tell me the story.”

“Xiao Jue had fallen into a lake once and Shenyuan was the first one who discovered it and immediately jumped in to save him.” Mother Lu was going down the memory lane. “If he would risk his life for Xiao Jue, he would never have conflicts with Xiao Jue. He would only let Xiao Jue have what he wants.”

Ning Zhi’s brows furrowed. She felt that that couldn’t be the whole story.

After witnessing what Lu Shenyuan had done to Xiao Jue in private, she could be certain that Lu Shenyuan was not a fan of Lu Jue. As such, why would he risk his life for Lu Jue?

Mother Lu was not stupid. With Ning Zhi suddenly bringing up this subject, she sensed something. Perhaps Ning Zhi was worried that Shenyuan would fight over the inheritance with Xiao Jue?

She said to Ning Zhi subtly, “Shenyuan had always defended Xiao Jue since he was a child and he still does. He is working hard on learning to manage the Lu Corporation but the Lu Corporation belongs to Xiao Jue. With Shenyuan’s help, we will be able to keep the Lu Corporation within the family and he will be able to help out Xiao Jue.”

Ning Zhi knew fully well the reason behind Mother and Father Lu adopted a child since childhood. Partly it was to take care of their good friend’s child and partly so Lu Jue would have a brother to look over him after they had passed away.

Problem was that Lu Shenyuan was a vicious tiger. He would not take care of Lu Jue; he would only swallow Lu Jue.

Lu Shenyuan’s pretense was so good that nobody was suspicious of him. If she wanted to call him out on it, she would have to wait for him to slip somehow.
