Chapter 334: You Can’t Blame Me For What Happened Back Then (2)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“I’m serious.”

Shen Man had a serious expression on her face without the slightest hint of joking.

Jiang Yining felt a little shy. She scratched her head uncomfortably to ease the awkwardness.

She was usually fearless, so radiant that people forgot that she was a young lady. Now, her shy appearance revealed the attitude of a young girl.

Shen Man’s heart was about to melt. She couldn’t help but pat her head.

Jiang Yining was stunned for a moment, then she looked at her with a smile.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Then, Father Lu’s voice sounded again.

“All Man, it’s me. Open the door.”

Shen Man frowned slightly.

Their marital relationship had long been broken, and they even lived separately.

Lu Tanshu had moved out many years ago and lived with his lover. He rarely returned to the Lu family’s old residence.

Every time he came home, he wouldn’t talk to her and treat her like air.

Why did he suddenly come over tonight?

Jiang Yining also recognized that the voice belonged to her father-in-law. However, Father Lu rarely appeared in the Lu family’s old mansion, let alone interact with her.

Therefore, she was very unfamiliar with Lu Tanshu.

“Mom, I’ll leave first,” Jiang Yining said tactfully.

What was the point of her getting involved in the conversation between the husband and wife?

Naturally, it was better to leave earlier.

Shen Man lowered her eyes and said, “Alright. Be careful on your way home with Ah Zhi.”

“Sure.”

Jiang Yining nodded.

The two of them walked to the door and opened it.

They saw Lu Tanshu leaning on the door frame drunkenly, almost unable to stand.

“All Man, you’re finally willing to open the door for me.”

Lu Tanshu almost didn’t look at Jiang Yining in the eye, as if she didn’t exist.

Shen Man sighed slightly.

As expected, he was drunk. Only at this time would he come to look for her.

Jiang Yining asked in a low voice, “Mom, should we call the servants over?”

“No need.”

Shen Man stepped forward and supported Lu Tanshu.

She skillfully helped him to the table.

She poured him a glass of water and fed it to him.

Jiang Yining saw that there was nothing else she could do for her, so she closed the door and left.

After Jiang Yining left.

Lu Tanshu stood up and continued to follow Shen Man, saying, “Honey, are you still blaming me?”

He was so close that Shen Man could almost smell the alcohol coming out of his mouth. She frowned and pushed him away in disgust. She said, “I don’t blame you. Everyone has their own choices. It’s just that I can’t accept your cheating.”

“You are blaming me.” Lu Tanshu said faintly, “Shen Man, you can’t blame me for what happened back then. 1 thought that you were entangled with that fellow, that’s why 1 made that kind of mistake… 1 regret it now… 1 wish I could kill myself…”

Shen Man looked at the regretful Lu Tanshu, and tears gradually gathered in her eyes.

What was the use of regret?

She regretted it more than he did.

She was born into a prestigious family, she gave up everything in Sweden just to be with him.

She abandoned everything in Sweden and followed him to A-City without hesitation.

But in the end, what she got was his mistrust and infidelity.

If it weren’t for Ah Zhi and Beicheng…

She would have returned to Sweden long ago.

Why would she still bear the reputation of cheating in the Lu family and be pointed at by others?

“All Man, can you forgive me? Let’s live a good life together.”

Lu Tanshu staggered and hugged her, begging her in a low voice.

“Forgive you? How can I forgive you? Because of you, my poor All Zhi was taken away by Old Madam at such a young age. Because of you, Beicheng’s whereabouts are unknown. Lu Tanshu, my two children are unfortunate because of you. What are you doing? You’re flirting with your little lover. If 1 forgive you, will 1 be able to face me and my two children?”

Shen Man’s vision was blurred by her tears and she couldn’t see clearly what was in front of her.

She clenched her fists tightly to resist the urge to cry.

“Lu Tanshu, don’t force me to tell Ah Zhi what happened back then. I’ve already preserved your face for so many years.”

Shen Man gritted her teeth as she spoke. She pointed at the door and said, “You should leave. Don’t disturb me again.”

Lu Tanshu stood rooted to the ground, silent.

How could he be truly drunk?

It was just that he could only gather the courage to see her with the help of alcohol.

“Get lost!”

Shen Man waited for a moment and saw that he wasn’t leaving.

She shouted again.

Lu Tanshu turned around with difficulty and walked towards the door.

At the same time.

In the study.

After Old Master Lu finished talking to Lu Zhi, he said, “Send more people to protect Yining. Don’t let her be targeted by anyone.”

To be able to synthesize a sky-high price of Curium materials, many people would probably want to snatch this treasure bowl.

With the Lu family’s strength, they could intimidate most people.

However, he was afraid that those desperate fanatics would make a move on Yining.

After all, Beicheng had disappeared just like that.

“Yes, Grandpa, I know.”

Lu Zhi nodded.

Old Master Lu paused for a moment before he stammered, “Ah Zhi, if you have time, you should visit your mother more often. After all, she is your mother.”

Lu Zhi’s face turned cold. “Grandpa, my attitude is the same as before. You should know that.”

“We’re all family. Why do we have to be so stiff? Look at Yining…”

Old Master Lu still wanted to persuade him.

However, Lu Zhi interrupted him before he could finish his sentence.

“I let Yining get along with her because I didn’t want to make things difficult for Yining. But if you want me to reconcile with her, don’t even think about it.”

When Old Master Lu heard this, he sighed heavily.

“You’re such a stubborn child.”

Lu Zhi remained silent.

Just as the atmosphere in the room was awkward, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door.

“Grandpa, are you still not done talking to Ah Zhi?”

“We’re done. Yining, come in.”

Old Master Lu said.

Jiang Yining pushed the door open and entered. Her gaze swept across Lu Zhi’s face and she could sense his displeasure. She asked softly, “What’s wrong? Are you upset?”

“No.”

Lu Zhi denied it in a low voice.

Old Master Lu continued, “He was reprimanded by me, so he’s unhappy. Yining, ignore him and tell Grandpa how you synthesized Curium.”

Jiang Yining was speechless.

It turned out that Lu Zhi didn’t tell Old Master the truth even after talking for so long.

How could she synthesize Curium?

But now, Lu Zhi refuses to reveal the truth.

She could only make something up on the spot.

Jiang Yining randomly made up a set of synthesis procedures based on the formulas she found in Lu Beicheng’s room.

Old Master Lu didn’t notice any flaws in her words and was amazed. “Yining, you’re amazing. When Curium materials can be mass-produced, it will definitely change the energy structure of the entire world. At that time, your name might even be written into the textbooks.”

Jiang Yining’s face was as red as a monkey’s butt.

She couldn’t live up to this reputation.

She felt really guilty….
