Chapter 14: Chapter 14 I’m Not Very Good at Lying

Chapter 14 -14 I’m Not Very Good at Lying

Lu Jingyan’s mind snapped back to the present as he looked at Lu Qianrou, who was in pain in his arms, “What’s wrong? Did you say your heart feels uncomfortable?”

“Yes…” Lu Qianrou clutched her chest and said with teary eyes, “Big brother, I think my illness is acting up, what should I do…”

Lu Jingyan took a deep breath, his focus completely shifting to Lu Qianrou.

Lu Qianrou contracted myocarditis following a high fever when she was eight.

This disease wasn’t particularly severe, but once it flared up, it could cause disordered heart rhythm and chest tightness at best, and life-threatening heart failure or shock at worst.

Over the years, the Lu family had a private doctor help manage Lu Qianrou’s condition, preventing any recurrence of the illness.

Unexpectedly, it relapsed just like that.

This was not a joking matter, and Lu Jingyan naturally became immediately serious.

“Alright, Qianrou, don’t move; let your big brother take you to the car to rest first. If it doesn’t get better, we’ll head straight home.”

Saying so, Lu Jingyan lifted Lu Qianrou in his arms and headed towards the back door of the venue.

However, Lu Qianrou wasn’t actually having a myocarditis recurrence at all.

She was just choked with anger by Lu Sheng, and not wanting her brother to focus on her, she thought of pretending to be ill.

The tactic was indeed quite effective.

Being held by Lu Jingyan, she saw the anxious look on his face which made her eyes redden even more: “Big brother, it hurts…”

She clung tightly around Lu Jingyan’s neck, her whole body almost sticking to him, making her appear even more fragile and pitiable.

Lu Sheng couldn’t be bothered to expose her.

If it were an actual heart attack, Lu Qianrou wouldn’t have this kind of reaction.

But since they had to play up the dramatic sisterly affection, she had to follow and pretend to show concern.

However, just as they reached the backyard, Jiang Ting, who had been chatting with other ladies, also suddenly followed.

“What happened? Qianrou, are you feeling unwell?” Jiang Ting pulled Lu Sheng back and stepped up to Lu Qianrou.

Lu Qianrou sniffled obediently, “Mom, I’m fine. My heart just feels a bit uncomfortable. Big brother is taking me to rest in the car.”

“Heart discomfort?” Jiang Ting immediately took a deep breath, “What’s going on? How can you suddenly fall ill like this?”

Before Lu Qianrou could respond, Jiang Ting fiercely turned her head and glared at Lu Sheng.

“Qianrou hasn’t been ill for so many years, and the moment you return, she falls ill. Did you upset her?!”

“And who allowed you to dress so flamboyantly for the banquet? Where is the dress I picked for you?”

“Also, going off on your own to tell the Fu family that you had prepared a piano performance, all this must have been your plan, right?”

“A daughter born from a bitch is also a bitch, so scheming at such a young age. You really need a lesson!”

—

When Jiang Ting spat out the first sentence, the man in the wheelchair not far behind them furrowed his brows, his gaze darker than ever.

Dressed in a suit, Chen An leaned over and whispered in Li Muchen’s ear.

“Boss, it appears as I investigated before, Mrs. Lu doesn’t actually welcome Miss Lu Sheng’s return.”

“I retrieved surveillance from the area you encountered Miss Lu Sheng last night and found a man dragged her into an alley.”

“Five minutes later, the man hurried out with a rope, but Miss Lu Sheng didn’t follow.”

“I suspect, someone from the Lu family probably wanted to do something to Miss Lu Sheng, but didn’t succeed. Miss Lu Sheng then met you after coming out.”
