Lu Chen's expression was bitter, his eyes hidden with sarcasm.
But that touch of irony was mocking himself.
"Reply, Master Chen has always understood the rules. Don't you know that when the master of the house asks questions, he must answer honestly?"
Shengge pinched his chin and looked at him with strong beautiful eyes.
Lu Chen didn't speak, but his thoughts recalled Anne of Windsor's last whispered words before she left.
She said, "I'm going to speak for you today. I'm afraid Lu Shengge won't let you go. Are you really not considering standing on a united front with me?"
Before Anne of Windsor came, she should have expected Shengge to come, so she deliberately said those words and deliberately intensified the already fragile and dangerous relationship between their brother and sister.
Thinking sadly, there was a dull pain between his eyebrows, but he remained silent.
"Good job. There is no truth. It seems you chose to help her?"
Anger rose in Shengge's chest. He took a deep breath, straightened his waist, and loosened the shackles on his chin.
With her cold and arrogant red lips, she smiled contemptuously, "You are really her good brother. Whenever something happens to her, you will protect her to the end."
"Lu Chen, if one day, Lu Yage and I were pointed at our heads with guns at the same time, and you also had a gun in your hand, but only one bullet, and could only save one person, would you save her or me?"
Lu Chen's eyes were red, seeing the chilling expression on her face, he reached out to grab her hand, "Girl..."
When the hand was halfway up, Shengge took a step back.
The small coffee table between the two of them is like the barrier between them, which is insurmountable.
"I will definitely investigate and verify the identity of Anne of Windsor. If you stop me, don't blame me for ignoring the last trace of family ties and taking care of you too."
After saying the harsh words, Shengge turned around and left.
"Girl... Shengge, listen to me."
Lu Chen held his knees and tried to get up to stop her. His legs hurt so much that he waited for a long time.
The hoarse voice and the pained and pitiful expression resembled the helplessness after being abused and distrusted.
He is no longer the arrogant and high-spirited first captain Chen before.
Shengge was vaguely touched in her heart, stopped and turned back to stare at him coldly, "I will only listen to your explanation this time."
Given the opportunity, it's up to him whether he can grasp it.
Lu Chen stared at her beautiful but indifferent face from a distance, carefully helping her analyze the pros and cons.
"My father and I used to be Lu Yage's backstage. Now that my father has passed away, I am suspended from work and idle at home. She has no backer and can be at your mercy."
"But Anne of Windsor is different. Hall Paul is Earl Ona after all, and behind him is the entire aristocracy. If you take the identity of Anne of Windsor too seriously, Hall Paul will care about it, and the Lu family will not get any advantage. I don't want to see you fighting for it."
An investigation without evidence will offend the other side."
He was just afraid that Shengge would get into trouble and be in danger; he was worried about her.
Shengge raised her chin proudly, her eyes disdainful.
"What I, Lu Shengge, are not afraid of most is offending people. In the past few years, I did my own thing in a disciplined manner, but there were still people who wanted to kill me over and over again. Even my biological brother helped hide the truth. What else do I have?
So scared?”
Only when you become stronger can you really control those evil people who secretly cause trouble. Others are unreliable, even close relatives.
When their eyes met, her eyes were sarcastic.
Lu Chen's expression became whiter inch by inch, and even his back became stiff.
There was a bitterness in his throat, but he couldn't explain it. He could only hang his head in defeat and listen to the music to settle old scores.
"I, the eldest young master of the Lu family, if you sincerely repent and apologize, you should be calmer, help me answer my confusion, and confirm the true identity of Anne of Windsor as soon as possible instead of persuading me to let her go. You know my temper, and I want to do it."
What, I won’t give up until I get the answer.”
After saying the last words to express her position, she turned around and left the ancestral hall without looking back.
Uncle Lin took two bodyguards and stood guard outside to prevent anyone from quietly coming over and eavesdropping.
