Fifth Master Lu left in a huff, concealing his achievements and fame. Siyu was pulled away from the Ji family by him. Although she didn't see the situation with her own eyes, she could imagine that the Ji couple would inevitably have a big fight. After all, Siyu saw clearly just now that Ji Wenhan looked at the Duan Rulan with a gaze that was like a knife, as if he wanted to tear off a layer of her skin.
Siyu didn't care about the grudges between the couple. She was just a little worried about Ji Lin. No matter what the two of them did, they were still Ji Lin's biological parents. Ji Lin definitely wouldn't feel good being caught in the middle.
Thinking of this, Siyu was actually a little glad that Fifth Master Lu had the foresight to drug Ji Lin so that he didn't have to see his parents lose face.
That silly child should still be sleeping soundly. Nothing will happen, right …?
The more Siyu thought about it, the more worried she became. If she had known earlier, she would have asked someone to carry Ji Lin away with them when she left!
As if sensing her distraction, Fifth Master Lu, who was originally playing with her slender fingers with great interest, glanced at her slightly and asked, "Are you still not feeling well?"
Siyu hadn't stopped coughing up blood just now. It was only when Fifth Master Lu took out a pill from somewhere and forced it into her mouth that she stopped coughing. At this moment, in Fifth Master Lu's eyes, this little girl's small face was deathly pale, as if her vitality had been greatly damaged.
"It's okay …" Siyu subconsciously replied. Then, she came back to her senses and secretly glanced at Fifth Master Lu's expression. She asked, "I'm worried about A Lin. How about we turn around and go back to pick him up?"
If it was in the past, Siyu definitely wouldn't dare to make such a request to Fifth Master Lu so directly. She was afraid that this lunatic would use this as a pretext to make a fuss and make random requests. But now, even Siyu herself didn't realize that she could already say such words very naturally.
Fifth Master Lu was keenly aware of this, but he didn't intend to tell this slow-witted girl. He only curled his lips and said, "There's no need. The Ji family is in a mess now. They can't even take care of themselves. How can they be in the mood to care about others?"
At this point, Siyu looked him up and down for a few seconds. She finally asked the question that had been buried deep in her heart from the beginning. "Fifth Lord, you're not here … to support me, are you?"
Her subconscious told her that this idea was right. Fifth Master Lu had no interaction with the Ji family at all. He only rushed over when he heard that she was here. If he wasn't here for her, then what else could it be? But logic told Siyu that she shouldn't think too highly of herself. If Fifth Master Lu was just helping her vent her anger, then so be it. But the problem was that it was obvious that he wanted to destroy the Ji Group. She shouldn't be able to do it alone, right?
Fifth Master Lu calmly asked, "Otherwise?"
Siyu actually wanted to ask him what he meant by "this is my person", but when she saw that Fifth Master Lu didn't care at all, she was terrified. She softly said "oh" and didn't say anything else. She was like a little ostrich carefully poking her head out, only to find that the other side was ignoring her, so she resentfully buried her head back.
Fifth Master Lu: "…" It seemed that he couldn't wait for this cowardly rabbit to take the initiative to ask.
Fifth Master Lu was decisive in killing people in his life. He had never been sloppy. At this moment, he hesitated for a few seconds before using his fingers to roll up Siyu's drooping hair. He twirled it between his fingers, just like how he usually played with the string of Buddha beads. Then he said in a low voice, "What I said at the Ji family isn't a secret. It will probably spread to the ears of all the aristocratic families soon. These people never look at the process, only the results, understand?"
Siyu blankly shook her head, indicating that she didn't quite understand.
Fifth Master Lu paused, then simply hugged her and placed her on his lap. From behind, he firmly held the little girl and whispered in her ear, "In other words, by tomorrow at the latest, these people will learn a lesson from the Ji family and know that you are the person I am protecting."
In the past, whether it was sending people to protect Siyu or plundering precious medicinal ingredients to deliver to Siyu every day, it was all done in secret. He never made it public. Things that he didn't want others to spy on naturally couldn't be found out. However, the matter with the Ji couple suddenly made Fifth Master Lu realize how annoying these buzzing flies were.
Moreover, these flies didn't dare to bother him. Instead, they gathered around Siyu and shamelessly refused to leave … Looking at them really made him sick.
Since people like the Ji couple were so unscrupulous because they didn't know that Siyu was under his protection, then he would personally support this little girl. Let's see who else would dare to!
Siyu originally felt that this position was a little awkward. Her body was too petite compared to Fifth Master Lu's, as if he was holding a child. However, before she could break free, Fifth Master Lu's words came crashing down on her, scaring Siyu into a daze.
Lu Xingzhou was driving the car in front. As the CEO of a company, he was happy to be caught as a chauffeur. He even secretly pricked up his ears to listen to what was going on in the backseat. Seeing that Fifth Master Lu was too straightforward and scared the little girl, Lu Xingzhou couldn't help but speak up for him. "Siyu, actually, Fifth Master Lu is afraid that you will be bullied outside. You don't know, but Fifth Master Lu has always been paying attention to you. He usually doesn't watch variety shows. It's because of you that he found that whatever challenge —"
Fifth Master Lu casually removed a sandalwood bead from his Buddhist prayer beads. With a light flick of his finger, he accurately smashed the bead into the back of Lu Xingzhou's head, causing him to cry out in pain.
"Xingzhou, you are getting bolder and bolder." Fifth Master Lu's tone was gentle. "You don't want that piece of land anymore because you think it's too much, right?"
"I was just spouting nonsense just now!" As soon as Lu Xingzhou heard that the fat duck in his hand was about to fly away, he couldn't help but wail. He hurriedly looked at Siyu through the rearview mirror. "You mustn't believe it. That's not true!"
However, Siyu didn't receive Lu Xingzhou's hint at all. Instead, she asked Fifth Master Lu curiously, "You watched my show? Did I do okay? "
Lu Xingzhou screamed in his heart, his face full of despair. Fifth Master Lu really touched a sore spot. At that time, after watching the show, he ordered him to investigate Wen Yuan thoroughly. After that, he couldn't find anything, and he didn't find any private dealings between Wen Yuan and Siyu that were beyond the normal scope. Only then did Fifth Master Lu let it go.
This living ancestor was so torturous just because he was jealous. Siyu still brought this up. Wasn't she just adding to the trouble?!
Sure enough, Fifth Master Lu still had a kind expression and said in a patient tone, "Did you have a good time?"
Siyu thought about it. It was mainly because she was in charge of tricking people, and Ji Lin fell for it every time, so overall, it was quite interesting. "I had a good time."
Lu Xingzhou pricked up his ears and tried his best to shrink his neck and reduce his presence.
Fifth Master Lu rubbed Siyu's hair and said very gently, "I saw that you ate Wen Yuan's dishes very happily. I wasted an entire day because of you, so you can personally cook a meal as a thank you gift."
Fifth Master Lu's words jumped without any logic. Siyu was stunned. Then, she realized that the car had turned around and was driving towards her house. In less than ten minutes, it stopped outside her house.
Lu Xingzhou was afraid that if he said too much, he would make more mistakes. If he stayed any longer, Fifth Master Lu would strip him of his land. Therefore, after sending her there, he didn't dare to stay any longer and immediately slipped away. Siyu was left behind and asked with wide eyes, "You want to come to my house?"
Fifth Master Lu didn't answer and directly pulled her upstairs. Siyu was led into the kitchen by Fifth Master Lu in a daze. Only then did she realize that this person was serious.
Alright, since he helped her vent her anger in front of the Duan Rulan today …
Siyu helplessly pulled up her hair and put on her apron. She looked through the food reserves at home and found that there was only a bundle of noodles and a few eggs left. She thought carefully for a moment. Eggs and noodles shouldn't be on Fifth Master Lu's blacklist, right?
It couldn't be helped. This master was too picky, causing Siyu to involuntarily analyze the ingredients when she saw them.
Egg noodles, then. Although it was a little simple, it was impossible to immediately go out to buy groceries in the middle of the night. Siyu dug out a few handfuls of green onions and was about to cut some green onions to enhance the flavor when Fifth Master Lu stood behind her and looked at her. He suddenly frowned and said, "Don't put green onions."
Siyu: "…" Alright, you're a guest. I'll listen to you.
She put the onions back in place, thinking that she would cut some green onions and garlic and mix it with the sauce to make a sauce. However, just as she was about to reach out, Fifth Master Lu said, "Don't want any of them."
Siyu: "…" Alright, she wasn't the one eating anyway.
Finally, the noodles were boiled. Siyu fried two golden poached eggs. Just as she was about to put some salt in the noodles, Fifth Master Lu was picky again. "Too much, put less."
Siyu: "…" She was wrong. She should have boiled the noodles with water and not put anything else!
…
At that moment, the Ji family was still gloomy and gloomy. Ji Wenhan's face had several bloody scratches from the Duan Rulan. The two of them fought and quarreled for half a day until someone at the company couldn't help but call. Perhaps they would continue to pester them.
Ji Wenhan's assistant was very anxious. "CEO Ji, hurry up and think of something! What's going on with that piece of land in the western suburbs? Why was it suddenly bought? I can't hold on any longer. Hurry back to the company and take charge of the situation. "
Take charge of the situation? What situation was there to speak of? Ji Wenhan's face was green and white. He also wanted to turn the tide, but this time, the Lu family and Fifth Master Lu were the ones making a move. Who would help him? It was already good enough that they didn't hit him when he was down!
After dealing with the assistant, Ji Wenhan was no longer in the mood to quarrel. He paced back and forth like an ant on a hot pan. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something. He coldly asked the Duan Rulan, "Tell me honestly. What's going on with that Zhou Siyu? Why are you targeting her?"
The Duan Rulan's hair and makeup were all scattered. She was covering her face and sobbing. When she heard the question, her sobs suddenly stopped for a few seconds. "She is, she is …"
Seeing the Duan Rulan stuttering, Ji Wenhan was even more certain that she was targeting Siyu for more than just Ji Lin. His face darkened as he asked, "Now that things have come to this, do you still have to hide it? Now that you've offended someone, Fifth Master Lu has caused my assets to shrink. What's next? Is he going to destroy the entire Ji family next? Do you have a brain? Or are you tired of the luxurious life now and don't want to live anymore? "
"No, Wenhan, I really didn't know beforehand …" This threat was very effective on the Duan Rulan. She immediately put down her hands and explained in a panic, "That girl is my child from before …"
"Your child?" Ji Wenhan was stunned for a moment before he reacted. His eyes were filled with shock. "Didn't you say that your child was sick and couldn't live to adulthood?"
"I didn't know either!" The Duan Rulan cried. "All the doctors said so. I didn't expect her to appear again. She's just a poor girl. How could she have anything to do with the Lu family?"
"Is there any point in pursuing this now?" Ji Wenhan was really defeated by this woman's stupidity and shortsightedness. The most important thing now was to start with Siyu. They had to apologize to her and try to get Fifth Master Lu to let the Ji family go. Ji Wenhan rubbed the space between his eyebrows and ordered, "You're Zhou Siyu's biological mother. No matter what, you're related by blood. She can't refuse to acknowledge you. Tomorrow, immediately bring something good to her and apologize to her. Explain the misunderstanding from before. If you can reconcile with her, that's even better. If not, it doesn't matter.
Do you understand? "The Duan Rulan was stunned by the series of unforeseen events. She was now at a loss. Hearing her husband's orders, she didn't think about how feasible it was. She quickly nodded and agreed." Yes, yes. I'll go tomorrow. I'll go immediately! "
At the same time, she secretly hated Zhou Siyu in her heart. That wretched girl flew to the top and didn't tell her at all. Did she still have her mother in her eyes?
The two of them discussed the follow-up steps to remedy the situation. They didn't notice that Ji Lin was standing on the stairs listening quietly with a strange expression.
