Chapter 96 This is completely disregarding his life!
Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shu both looked towards the doorway, where they saw Jiang Mubai leaning casually against the doorframe with his arms crossed, a playful smile on his lips.
Lu Shiyuan ignored him and simply rolled his eyes at him.
Lin Shu, on the other hand, quickly bandaged Lu Shiyuan's wounds and glared at Jiang Mubai, who had caused the trouble, saying, "Finish eating? If you're done eating, hurry up and leave."
"I don't want to. I've come all this way with great difficulty," Jiang Mubai said, and walked into the courtyard without looking back.
Lin Shu was left speechless; this guy really has a thick skin.
Thinking of his willful and disregard for others' lives, Lin Shu rarely spoke up and offered an explanation, "Don't pay attention to him, he's just like that, never serious."
Lin Shu's explanation was better off not being given; it was like a steel knife piercing Lu Shiyuan's heart.
They are husband and wife, family, yet Lin Shu is explaining things to him for the sake of an outsider.
This is completely disregarding his life!
Lu Shiyuan's face gradually darkened, and a hint of disappointment and jealousy flashed in his eyes.
She asked in a sarcastic tone, "Is he your friend?"
"No," Lin Shu said without hesitation.
Lu Shiyuan was overjoyed, but before his joy could spread, he heard Lin Shu's voice, filled with gritted teeth, come again: "He is my creditor."
Damn it, ever since she agreed to marry Mu Bai, she has painfully experienced the exploitation of capitalists.
Lu Shiyuan, who had been full of hope, felt even more complicated after hearing Lin Shu's answer.
Especially after Lin Shu left without looking back after saying those words.
He couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh, "Sigh..."
"Don't sigh, your daughter-in-law cares about you. She knows you can't eat spicy food because you're injured, so she specially made some non-spicy food for you," Ji Shi said, arriving at his door with a bowl.
Upon hearing this, hope rekindled in Lu Shiyuan's eyes once again.
Like starlight in the night, it shines brightly.
After everyone had eaten at Lin Shu's house, they all got up to say goodbye.
After watching everyone leave, Jiang Mubai quietly pulled Lin Shu aside and said, "I've found that brat's whereabouts."
Lin Shu looked at him in surprise.
A smug glint flashed in Jiang Mubai's eyes. "Do you remember the woman we saw at the Shiweitian Restaurant before? She's the one who kidnapped your son."
Although she already knew the answer, she was still quite impressed that Jiang Mubai was able to find it out.
But the next second, Jiang Mubai almost became depressed.
Especially with that knowing look on his opponent Lin Shu's face, he said bitterly, "You knew all along."
"It wasn't very early, but I just felt that if someone in the town wanted to get back at me, it would definitely be her," Lin Shu said truthfully.
Since she came into this world, she has basically not offended anyone except Ren Bilian and Ming Boyang.
As for those two, they obviously didn't have the ability to make Ah Heng disappear overnight.
After hearing Lin Shu's analysis, Jiang Mubai quickly felt better.
It's not that he's less intelligent than Lin Shu, it's just that he doesn't think as much as Lin Shu does.
After deceiving himself, his cynical smile returned to his face.
"You knew this before I did, but there's one thing you definitely didn't know before me."
Lin Shu was slightly taken aback, her bright eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at him with a curious gaze.
"tell me the story."
"Do you remember Qin Zixuan, whom you saved before? He's trying to find out about you," Jiang Mubai said, looking at her with a smug expression.
“I received information that he is not only inquiring about your background, but also knows the woman who appeared at my clinic before.”
"If we follow this line of reasoning, he and you might have some kind of ambiguous relationship."
Jiang Mubai's words made Lin Shu want to slap him to death: "If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all."
Although his words were unreliable, the truth was just as Lin Shu thought.
Qin Zixuan knew that woman, and that woman knew her before she lost her memory.
The matter has become inexplicably complicated.
Lin Shu frowned, looking troubled. "By the way, what about Qian Lifeng, who was captured earlier? Has he been released?"
Jiang Mubai glanced at her. "What do you think?"
This was something Lin Shu hadn't expected. Although Qian Lifeng was cowardly and not a good person, he was still just an ordinary person.
Qin Zixuan didn't need to bother arguing with him.
But he hasn't been released yet, which means the complexity of the matter far exceeds her understanding.
Seeing that she looked thoughtful, Jiang Mubai lost interest in playing guessing games with her.
He gave the answer directly: "Actually, they should have been released a long time ago, but I heard that Qin Zixuan found out they were involved in a human trafficking case, so they were forcibly detained."
"I reckon Qian Lifeng is unlikely to come back alive. After all, there's a legend that anyone who falls into the hands of the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review never manages to escape unscathed."
"The reason I'm telling you this is because of this. Although I don't know what your relationship with him is, I'm giving you a piece of advice: be careful of him. His identity is not just that of the Junior Minister of Marble in Xia Kingdom."
He had said everything he needed to say; the rest was up to Lin Shu to figure out.
Lin Shu is a smart man and should know the seriousness of the matter.
"Thank you," Lin Shu said sincerely.
Jiang Mubai, however, was unmoved. "If you feel indebted to me, go visit Renyi Hall more often. There are many people waiting for you there."
"Never mind what I said," Lin Shu glared at him fiercely, thinking he was really taking advantage of her.
Jiang Mubai smiled awkwardly, "No, I heard you."
"Whether you want to go or not, you should take a look at that kid first. I think he has a good chance."
After speaking, the two of them subconsciously looked at Bai Qi'an, who was not far away.
The two felt sorry for Bai Qi'an; he was so optimistic despite having such a serious illness.
This kid is good.
"I know, don't worry, I won't easily agree to anything," Lin Shu said, then got up and walked towards Bai Qi'an.
When Bai Qi'an saw Lin Shu walking towards him, he quickly put down Tian Tian in his arms and said, "Aunt Lu."
“Master Jiang asked me to take a look at your health,” Lin Shu said casually.
Bai Qi'an listened with a clear conscience, "At least he has a conscience."
...Jiang Mubai, is he repaying them with chaff instead of rice he owed them?!
Everyone treats him like this.
Annoyed, he quickly walked up behind Sweetie and yanked her up from the ground.
Although Tian Tian didn't like them as much as she liked Lu Zijing, she didn't dislike them either.
Lu Zijing sat quietly on Tiger Mom's lap, silently observing them.
He had maintained this posture ever since Jiang Mubai pulled Lin Shu aside to talk.
It seems that using Tian Tian to distract Jiang Mubai is not working. He needs to have a serious discussion with his father about how to completely sever Jiang Mubai's connection with his mother.
Lin Shu settled Bai Qi'an down in the waiting room before reaching out to examine Bai Qi'an's wrist.
The last time they checked on Bai Qi'an, he was at his weakest. This time, his condition is better than before.
Seeing this, Bai Qi'an looked at Lin Shu cautiously.
