Xu Liunian's body was still weak. When she walked out, she staggered a little and tried to grab onto Xiao Ting's hand to prevent herself from falling to the ground.
In this farce, only she was the final victim. She was completely in the dark, and she didn't know anything. The person who wanted to harm her must have had a plan already.
Even though she was under such pressure, she already had a choice in mind.
On the surface, it looked as if he was deeply moved by her actions, but in reality, he was trying to emphasize in front of everyone that she was a drinking partner of Muse, a sparrow that wanted to climb high branches.
Furthermore, from what she knew, Liang Peiqing had already asked for someone to harm her more than once. This kind of woman with the heart of a beast with a human face, being alive was a disaster!
Behind her was the luxury and liveliness of the upper class. She was just a woman at the bottom of society who sold her looks to support her livelihood. She was despised and despised by others.
This wasn't what she wanted. She also wanted to be born with a golden spoon. She also wanted to have her parents and sister by her side. She also wanted someone who loved her to accompany her throughout her life.
But why was it like this now? Once that short time beautiful is gone forever, why does God want to be so unfair? Why did she have to endure this?
She still remembered hearing a saying a long time ago, life was like two cups of water, one of them was sweet, one of them was bitter, one of them was bitter, one of them lived a lifetime, one must drink it, if you drink the bitter first, then it would be sweet later on.
She had always believed that saying. Was a beautiful life waiting for her at the end? But now that the days had passed and she could no longer see any hope, how could she have the courage to try the future?
Those beautiful things would never belong to him.
She could feel how heavy her steps were. Even though the ground was made of marble, she still felt as if she had landed heavily on the ground, one step at a time.
The sky had already turned completely dark, but the courtyard of Lu Family was still brightly lit. She wanted to find a dark corner to hide in.
But why was the courtyard so big? No matter how he looked at it, he could not find his way to the end.
She staggered and her body felt weak. She didn't even know how she managed to walk out of the Lu Family.
Xiao Ting was very patient, she patiently supported her at the side. No matter how slow she walked, Xiao Ting would walk as if she was not impatient at all.
A girl like Xiao Ting probably hadn't studied either, which was why she came to other people's houses to be a servant.
Thinking about that, Xu Liunian laughed, she could not even protect herself, how could she still be worried about others?
When they arrived at the entrance of the Lu Family, what they saw was a field of dazzling beauty behind them, and a field of pitch-black darkness in front of them. It was just like the separation of a single door, and it was as if they were separated by two worlds.
It could even be said that she was incompatible with the entire world.
She pulled out the hand Xiao Ting was holding her with, and raised her head to look at Xiao Ting's somewhat worried eyes. She squeezed out a small smile with great effort, and said, "Xiao Ting, thank you."
She couldn't see how ugly her expression was at all. Even though every single one of her facial features was painful, she still had to put on a smiling expression. It was as awkward as it could get.
Xiao Ting was definitely worried. Simply saying that he had taken care of her for such a long time, and Xiao Ting was not a snobbish person to begin with. Although no one could explain the things that had happened today, she was still able to see things more objectively.
"Miss Xu, don't be too sad. When the gathering is over, have a good exchange with Mr. Lu. The misunderstanding will be solved."
"En, thank you. I'll be going now."
Xu Liunian nodded, then turned and walked into the darkness.
Although she had agreed, how would she have the chance to step half a step into the Lu Family? There was no need to explain. After all, so many people had already seen it. Was he going to hold a press conference just to prove his innocence?
That would be too laughable. A girl with wine wanted to prove her innocence? Shameless!
Inside the Lu Family Hall, everyone was feeling disgusted with Xu Liunian for leaving in such a miserable manner, as they were all discussing amongst themselves.
Although the farce just now had proven that it was not because of Old Master Lu's methods, it would still affect the Lu Family slightly.
Old Master Lu cleared his throat and casually announced.
"Fellow directors, I am truly sorry. A woman who wanted to climb onto our Lu Family and ruin your mood, I am truly sorry. Everyone, please continue!"
With that said, he raised the wine cup in his hand. Who among the people present would not give face to Old Master Lu!
Therefore, everyone selectively forgot about the farce from before and raised their glasses in agreement.
The banquet continued, while Lu Jianqing stared at the door without moving.
Old Master Lu walked to his side using a walking stick, and urged him in a secretive manner.
"Jian Qing, stop thinking about that woman. Do you not think that it is shameful enough? Peiqing is even waiting for you to dance with her! "
Lu Jianqing's hand that was in his pocket slowly clenched. No one noticed his actions, and no one knew how much rage he was hiding. However, those deep eyes seemed to be lit with fire, causing those who wanted to come over to toast him not to dare to come close.
"Dad, you really don't know?"
Lu Jianqing asked coldly, and when the Old Master Lu heard this, he tilted his head and shouted angrily, "Jian Qing, you don't even trust me? "I haven't gone upstairs ever since I came back, and you actually doubted your own father because of a woman?!"
Old Master Lu was not lightly angered by his words, his body slightly trembled, Liang Peiqing quickly rushed over to support him, "Uncle, you already chased her away, don't be angry!"
Lu Jianqing glanced at Liang Peiqing. His cold eyes pierced her thoughts like knives, causing Liang Peiqing to quickly move his eyes away.
Liang Peiqing was a woman, he wanted to leave her some face. If it wasn't for her, Xu Liunian wouldn't have been scolded so badly just now.
"I just want to know the truth."
With that, Lu Jianqing walked out. Old Master Lu chased after him for two steps, but could not catch up, and cursed: "Unfilial son!"
Due to the fact that there were still so many guests around, if they all left, it would mean that someone would gossip about them.
Liang Peiqing, who was supporting the old man, looked at Lu Jianqing's leaving figure in anger. However, she could do nothing about it, she had never really caught Lu Jianqing before.
Even when that woman's reputation was in ruins, she still wanted to chase after her?
