Chapter 146: Can’t Stay There
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The conversation that followed confused Su Yan. She felt that Lu Juan was pulling her along and saying something, but there was no specific content. Su Yan even felt that Lu Juan was leading her by the nose.
After two hours of chatting, Su Yan’s emotions fluctuated. In the end, she left Lu Juan’s room with Assistant Liu’s help.
“Come again next time.” When she heard Lu Juan’s invitation before she left, Su Yan felt her legs go soft.
Standing at the door of the room, Lu Juan looked at the backs of Su Yan and Assistant Liu as they left. She smiled lightly, and her face had the shyness of a young girl. After a moment, she retracted her smile and sighed. “You’ve grown up.”
She had grown up. In the blink of an eye, the baby who was crying for food had grown up to this size.
Su Yan and Assistant Liu disappeared for a long time before Lu Juan finally regained her senses. She sighed and returned to her room.
After locking the door, Lu Juan took out her laptop from under the bed. Her fingers flew around as she quickly typed out lines of code on the computer. Soon, two video chat boxes appeared on the computer.
On one side was Lu Juan, and on the other was the elegant man.
Her beautiful eyes stared at the man for a long time before she blinked. “I haven’t seen you in a long time.”
“Yes, I thought you would never want to contact me again in this lifetime.” The man said with a faint smile. Then, he rummaged through the pile of documents beside him and found a folder. He held it in front of the camera. “Do you still need to look at the medical records I disguised for you back then? Otherwise, I’m afraid you… won’t be able to pretend.”
Lu Juan made a “tsk” sound, looking very much like a young girl, as if the years hadn’t left any marks on her body.
“I know, I know. You should keep this for yourself. I don’t need it.” Seeing that her daughter was still fine, Lu Juan felt slightly comforted. “Yun Yi, what exactly happened back then?”
The elegant man opposite the computer was Su Yan’s deceased father!
Hearing Lu Juan’s words, Yun Yi changed his posture and placed his hands on his long legs. “Actually, it’s nothing much. It’s just that those people were too fast and I almost couldn’t react in time. In order not to implicate Xiao Xi, I could only find a family to entrust her to.”
After that, Yun Yi had been hiding in the dark and dealing with those people. He had also neglected Su Yan, which resulted in Su Yan being treated like that by those two scums.
“This is not the reason why you didn’t care about Xiao Xi for more than ten years!” Lu Juan slammed the table hard, and the computer on the table trembled. “Do you know what Xiao Xi’s life has been like for the past ten years? That family used your money to live a life of high status, but in the end, they criticized your daughter. You…”
Yun Yi wasn’t angry at Lu Juan’s accusation. He just smiled and said gently, “So after Xiao Xi returned, I killed them.”
Perhaps it was due to the light and shadow effect, or perhaps it was due to the angle. In Lu Juan’s eyes, Yun Yi’s smile was simply evil. He looked like a criminal.
Yun Yi’s smile disappeared in a flash. After a moment, he said, “All these years, it’s all thanks to your skills that we were able to destroy so many of those human traffickers’ nests. However, these guys are like smelly bugs in the sewers. We can’t clean them up no matter what.”
Lu Juan pouted and said, “You might as well take good care of Xiao Xi if you want to thank me.”
The two of them fell silent again.
What happened back then was quite simple. Yun Yi had destroyed many of the human traffickers’ strongholds and destroyed many of their operations. Hence, in order to take revenge on Yun Yi, the human traffickers’ organization started taking revenge on Su Yan when she was young. Many times, they almost kidnapped Su Yan.
And with Lu Juan’s cooperation, Yun Yi successfully made these human traffickers fail to do so. After some discussion, Yun Yi and Lu Juan decided to let Lu Juan hide in the dark. Not only would it protect Lu Juan, but she could also cooperate with Yun Yi in the dark.
The obsessive-compulsive disorder incident that followed was also a show directed and acted out by Lu Juan and Yun Yi. Their purpose was to make Lu Juan disappear from everyone’s sight before attracting everyone’s attention.
“You can’t stay in this sanatorium anymore. I’ll arrange for you to go somewhere else.” Yun Yi’s tone was very cold. “If they want to cause a rift between Xiao Xi and the Yun family, you are a very good tool to drive a wedge between them.”
Lu Juan didn’t really care where she lived. She shrugged and said, “You have the final say. It’s just that after living here for so many years, I can’t bear to leave suddenly.”
But in reality, Lu Juan was also clear that even if she couldn’t bear to, she had to give up. From the time she knew about Yun Yi’s background and still insisted on marrying him, she had no other choice.
“Alright then. Pack your things now. My men are already outside..” Yun Yi ended the video call and leaned against the chair with a sigh.
