“It’s a misunderstanding. It’s all a misunderstanding.” Qin Hai smiled awkwardly and apologized.

“Be more careful next time. Don’t slander others for no reason when you can’t even tell if it’s because of yourself or because someone else pushed you.” Madam Lu didn’t buy Qin Hai and Qin Youyou’s explanation at all. After she looked at Qin Youyou coldly, she smiled at Qin Miaomiao. “Miaomiao, you must have been frightened just now, right? Today’s memorial is over. I’ll get Lu Shiyan to send you back.”

Seeing Madam Lu’s expression, Qin Miaomiao was a little speechless. Wasn’t this person acting way too intimate with her? However, the memorial ceremony had indeed ended and she didn’t want to stay with the Qin family anymore.

“Okay.” Qin Miaomiao agreed readily and walked out of the cemetery under Qin Youyou’s jealous gaze.

After Lu Shiyan gave Qin Youyou a deep look, he followed Qin Miaomiao.

Outside the cemetery, Qin Miaomiao got into Lu Shiyan’s car. After Qin Xiaoshu saw this, he got into the front passenger seat first. He wanted to create a chance for his mother and father to be alone.

“Little Qin has caused trouble for you today. Qin Youyou wasn’t like this before…” Lu Shiyan broke the silence first. He was talking about that night five years ago. After that day, Qin Youyou seemed to have become a different person.

“This matter has nothing to do with Mr. Lu, so there’s no need for Mr. Lu to apologize.” Qin Miaomiao frowned. It seemed that Qin Youyou had deceived Lu Shiyan. However, she wasn’t a busybody who meddle in other people’s affairs. Perhaps Lu Shiyan liked people like Qin Youyou.

“And what happened that night…” Lu Shiyan paused for a moment before speaking again and he couldn’t help but turn to look at Qin Miaomiao.

“Mr. Lu, I’ve said it before. Let’s pretend that nothing happened that night.” As soon as Qin Miaomiao finished speaking, the chauffeur suddenly braked. Her body moved forward before slamming into the back seat.

“Be careful.” Lu Shiyan grabbed Qin Miaomiao’s slender waist and placed his other hand on her chest. Qin Miaomiao’s waist was so slender that it could be held with one hand. Because of this, the distance between the two of them lessened.

Qin Miaomiao was trapped in a corner by Lu Shiyan. When she looked up, she happened to see Lu Shiyan’s handsome face and was mesmerized for a moment. Their surroundings seemed to have quietened down and she could clearly hear the sound of heartbeats. She didn’t know if it was hers or his…

Lu Shiyan was also stunned and the crazy night five years ago flashed across his mind. This feeling…

“Mr. Lu, I’m sorry. Just now…” The chauffeur turned around and was about to apologize to Lu Shiyan when he saw the situation in the backseat and stopped.

“Mommy…” Qin Xiaoshu was also frightened. Just as he was about to turn around, the chauffeur covered his eyes.

Qin Xiaoshu was baffled.

Lu Shiyan snapped back to his senses. “Miss Qin, things happened so suddenly just now. Sorry for offending you.” If he had not made a move just now, Qin Miaomiao might have knocked her head.

She asked the driver in the front seat directly, “What happened just now?” Qin Miaomiao nodded and sat up straight.

“I don’t know. The car in front suddenly stopped. I was caught off guard and didn’t react in time,” the chauffeur said as he pointed at the car parked in front. It was Qin Miaomiao’s Ferrari.

Under Lu Shiyan’s instructions, the chauffeur got out of the car to inquire about the situation. After a while, the person in front said that the brakes had failed and couldn’t be driven anymore. When Qin Miaomiao heard this, she frowned. Her car had just been brought back, so it was impossible for the brakes to fail. If it did, there was only one reason. Someone had tampered with her car.

“Send the car for maintenance and inspection,” Lu Shiyan instructed.

Qin Miaomiao pushed the door open and got out of the car. Lu Shiyan’s car was driven by a bodyguard from the Lu family. The bodyguard reacted quickly and realized that the brakes were amiss in time. Hence, he used the roadblock to force the car to stop so that there wouldn’t be a traffic accident. However, the front of the car was still rammed.

“Get in the car. Someone will be in charge of checking the car.” Lu Shiyan walked to Qin Miaomiao’s side.

Just as Qin Miaomiao was about to nod, she suddenly turned around and looked at the alley not far away. She felt that there seemed to be someone hiding there, but before she could take a closer look, that person disappeared.

After getting into the car again, Lu Shiyan sent Qin Miaomiao to the entrance of the villa. The Lu family had already sent someone to wait at the entrance of the villa. Lu Shiyan got out of the car first and opened the car door for Qin Miaomiao.
