105 Bygones

Everyone stared at Luo Ying. They wanted to see what evidence she could come up with.

“I have a camera here that Lu Yao had planned to use to frame me just now. There should be a recording in it. I’ll play it for everyone to hear,” Luo Ying said.

Lu Yao’s eyes widened when she heard what Luo Ying said. Was Luo Ying going to play everything? That would also implicate Su Ran…

Lu He patted her daughter’s back. “Go ahead. I’m not worried.”

Lu He wasn’t worried that her daughter would do anything. After all, she had watched her daughter grow up. Moreover, this was the Lu Family. Even if this woman wanted to stir up any trouble, she did not have much power over the other people.

Luo Ying pressed the play button.

The conversation between Lu Yao and the driver played on.

“Why didn’t Luo Ying fall for it? Why hasn’t she gotten changed? Did she notice something?”

“Hey, driver. What’s your name again? Chen? Can you go beat up Lu Yao? Just knock her unconscious.”

“Madam, isn’t this a little inappropriate? After all, Luo Ying is Master Lu Zhao’s wife. If we do anything to her, we may both lose our lives.”

“What are you afraid of? If something happens, I’ll help you. Besides, Grandpa will protect me. I’ll protect you.”

Everyone in the room was shocked when they heard that.

Lu Yao had actually schemed against his own sister-in-law so brazenly. She had even invoked her grandfather’s name.

“How dare you! Anyone can use text-to-speech these days. Luo Ying, you’re shameless!” Lu Yao shouted.

However, her words no longer sounded convincing. After all, how could Luo Ying have synthesized her voice in such a short time?

Luo Ying looked at Lu Yao and laughed coldly. “You’re only going against me because of Su Ran, aren’t you? Put away your pitiful sense of loyalty. Do you think you’re the only one capable of such schemes? Wait for the day when someone tries it on you.”

Luo Ying sized Lu Yao up. “Wait, do you actually believe that Su Ran would protect you from the aftermath? She has to, right? You took such a big risk for her.”

Lu Yao shuddered violently. Luo Ying had hit the mark.

“Luo Ying, what are you doing? Why are you humiliating your in-laws?” Lu He asked.

Luo Ying laughed. Why was she getting the blame again?

“Looks like we’re at an impasse. Why don’t we leave this to the law, Aunt?” Luo Ying suggested.

While everyone fell silent, an old man’s voice was heard. “What are you guys doing here?”

Everyone made way for an elderly man to be wheeled into the room by a servant. This man was none other than Old Master Lu.

Behind him was Lu Zhao. Lu Zhao quickly walked to Luo Ying’s side and reached out to pull her into his arms.

Old Master Lu’s eyes scanned Luo Ying from head to toe. Then, he looked at the driver and Lu Yao on the bed.

“Get that man out of my sight. He no longer works for us,” he said.

His eyes stopped on Lu Yao. “Lu Yao, what’s wrong with you? Are you not satisfied with the marriage I arranged for you? Every time you start a fuss, I learn that you’re either trying to get into the pants of some small-time actor or a servant.”

“Grandfather, no, I…” Lu Yao stammered. “Luo Ying did this.”

Old Master Lu looked at Lu Zhao. “What’s up with your wife? Why is she preying on my granddaughter?”

Lu Yao was overjoyed. It seemed like her grandfather was taking her side. Her eyes lit up. “Luo Ying wanted to harm my best friend, Su Ran. I stood up for her, so this happened.”

“Is that so? Ms. Lu, why don’t we ask everyone who just heard the recording if they think so, or should I play the recording for your grandfather?” Luo Ying said with a cold smile.

Lu Yao shivered and lowered her head.

Lu He spoke up. “Lu Zhao, whoever the culprit is, I won’t hold it against you anymore. Please calm your wife down too. Today is the Old Master’s birthday banquet. We can’t disrespect him by squabbling on such a day, right?”

Lu Zhao’s gaze was cold and sharp as he looked at Lu He. “I don’t understand what you’re saying, Aunt. Why are you letting her off so easily now? Did she not just try to ruin your daughter’s life? Shouldn’t you investigate this matter thoroughly?”
