After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 236

Chapter 236: Chapter 236 ... Catching Adultery in the Act?

Chen Shu’s expression was calm, but those few short sentences held too much information.

The first time Lu Sheng saw Juanjuan, she felt that the girl did not look like an ordinary person.

Whether it was her doll-like beautiful appearance, her fair and delicate skin that seemed easily breakable, or her thick, soft, blond hair that still shone despite being covered in dust.

The young girl looked like she had never been exposed to any challenges, like a rose that had grown up pampered in a greenhouse.

However, Juanjuan was not as fragile as Lu Sheng had imagined.

Or rather, her later behavior made Lu Sheng change this first impression.

Juanjuan was very well-behaved and sensible, and also very kind and adorable.

She would worry about causing trouble for others, always felt grateful for others’ kindness, and even took initiative to work part-time, not afraid of hardship at all.

So, Lu Sheng was surprised to find out that Juanjuan was the daughter of a First-class Duke Suli, which means she was just below the Royal Princess in status.

She had never expected that before Juanjuan ended up in Jiang City, she had gone through such a terrible ordeal at home.

Witnessing her ill mother kill her father? Almost being strangled to death by her own mother? Cutting her mother’s throat with a dagger in self-defense?

These few sentences created a vivid image.

On a stormy night with thunder and lightning, a bolt of lightning cast a white light inside the house, and the young girl, nearly suffocated and unconscious, instinctively used the dagger to cut her mother’s throat.

Warm blood uncontrollably spurted out, splashing all over the girl’s face and body. The girl opened her eyes to see her mother bleeding from the throat with eyes wide open, and the smell of blood was so pungent it was nauseating.

Just thinking about it sent chills down one’s spine.

"...You mean," Lu Sheng took a deep breath, looking at the man in front of her, "you mean after Juanjuan accidentally killed her mother, she disappeared the next day."

"Yes," Chen Shu’s expression remained calm, but his pale green eyes were slightly sad, "I think, she probably couldn’t face the fact that she had killed her own mother, so she subconsciously wanted to flee."

"Christine visited Jiang City in China once with my mother when she was young. That trip left a deep impression on her, and I guess that’s why she chose Jiang City as her destination."

Chen Shu’s words didn’t seem to have any issues.

Unable to face what had happened, so Juanjuan wanted to escape.

After arriving in Jiang City, unfamiliar with her surroundings, and then a car accident made her lose her memory, leading her to be abducted by human traffickers.

Although she can’t remember what specifically happened at home, her subconscious still feels fear, so she is afraid to return home.

Everything seemed reasonable.

But Lu Sheng still felt there was an odd sensation, yet she couldn’t quite pinpoint what was odd.

"I understand," Lu Sheng looked at Chen Shu and asked, "So, what does Mr. Chen plan to do?"

"I have taken care of everything, inherited my father’s title, and concealed the true cause of my parents’ death from the public. The truth will never be known to outsiders, so Christine doesn’t need to feel unable to face her past."

"I came to Jiang City this time to bring Christine back. But hearing from Miss Lu Sheng that Christine has not recovered her memory, I worry she won’t recognize me as her brother."

"This is where I need Miss Lu Sheng’s help," Chen Shu gazed at Lu Sheng, leaning closer with a very focused look, "Christine is the only family I have left...you will help me, won’t you?"

Chen Shu’s appearance was too superior, his features as finely chiseled as those of a Greek deity, profoundly striking.

When those gem-like, deeply sad light green eyes showed a hint of a plea, it was hard for anyone to say no.

Of course, Lu Sheng couldn’t refuse.
