Spring Branches

In the car on the way to Lu’s house.

Tang Asi was still in shock, and the bloody severed finger was all he could think of, and he couldn't get rid of it.

The car stopped at a traffic light, and Lu Yichuang gave a bottle of mineral water from the storage rack to Tang Asi who was sitting in the passenger seat.

"Drink some water and stop thinking about it."

Tang Asi sighed: "Mrs. Chen... is too angry with me."

Lu Yichuan said: "Slowly, after getting to know you, she will change her mind about you."

Tang Asi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "No, she said that she will never forgive me in her life."

Lu Yichuan touched Tang Asi's head for the second time, "It's okay if you don't forgive me, as long as you have a clear conscience."

The green light came on and the car continued to move.

Tang Asi leaned his head against the car window and closed his eyes gently.

I will have to face a bunch of people who don't like me, and I feel tired just thinking about it. But there is nothing I can do about it.

Lu Yichuan's eyes were fixed on the road ahead and the red gift box in the rearview mirror, switching back and forth.

If he guessed correctly, the broken finger belonged to Chen Yao, and it was on her ring finger. Because there was a mark on the broken finger from the ring. It was a ring passed down from the Lu family, and it was just right for her late mother, but it was a little small for Chen Yao's finger.

What reason would he give to return the things to their original owner later?

In other words, it was a case of giving someone a taste of their own medicine, which also scared Chen Yao.

Just as Lu Yichuang was thinking about those horrible ways of torturing people, Tang Asi's voice broke Lu Yichuang's thoughts.

She looked at him and asked, "Will my grandparents come?"

Lu Yichuan shook his head: "Lu Qianyuan didn't say anything, so he probably won't."

Tang Asi said "Oh" and continued to close his eyes and rest.

The car quickly drove into the old house.

There was no one at the door.

Before he confirmed his marriage with Lu Qianyuan, whenever he returned home, the housekeeper and servants would be waiting at the door, but this time there was no one.

It is clear.

This was a warning from Lu Qianyuan.

Tang Asi and Lu Yichuan entered the villa carrying the things they bought.

I opened the door and there was no one in the living room.

"..."

This immediately made Tang Asi extremely embarrassed.

Lu Yichuang also had a gloomy face and was obviously unhappy.

The two men put the things on the coffee table. Lu Yichuan asked Tang Asi to sit down, and he went into the kitchen to pour Tang Asi a glass of water.

"You sit down first, I'll go up and see what's going on."

"...I'll go with you."

"Are you afraid?"

Tang Asi nodded without hesitation: "Yeah, a little scared."

"Okay, hold my arm."

Tang Asi hesitated for 2 seconds and finally took Lu Yichuang's arm.

The first place they went to was Mr. Lu and his wife's room, which was on the first floor.

Knock on the door, "Grandpa and grandma."

No one inside responded.

So Lu Yichuan knocked twice again. When no one answered, he pushed the door open, but there was no one inside.

They went to Lu Qianyuan's room on the second floor.

Standing at the door, Tang Asi was very nervous.

When she met Lu Qianyuan yesterday, his expression was very cold. She asked him questions, but he did not answer even in front of the media.

Tang Asi knew that their relationship would not be so easy to ease.

"Dad." Lu Yichuan called.

After calling out, no one responded, so Lu Yichuang pushed open the bedroom door, but there was still no one inside.

So where did they all go?

The two returned to the first floor.

Tang Asi felt numb and a little scared: "Why is there no one here?"

"I don't know." Lu Yichuan said.

Tang Asi grabbed Lu Yichuan's arm and said, "If there's no one here, let's go back first..."

There was no one in the huge villa, which made it seem eerie and strange.

"How about we wait and see, and if no one shows up after 5 minutes, we can go back?"

"Alright."

The two sat on the sofa and waited.

Originally, Lu Yichuang wanted to go to the kitchen to cut some fruit for Tang Asi, but she was timid and couldn't leave home without someone by her side, so Lu Yichuang had to give up.

He smiled at her lovingly: "You are so timid, what are you going to do in the future?"

Tang Asi lowered his head and clasped his fingers, "...I think being timid depends on the situation."

Before he showed up, she could do everything on her own.

Lu Yichuan touched Tang Asi's head for the third time, "If you continue like this, I won't be able to let you go after two years."

"..."

For some reason, Tang Asi felt a little depressed when hearing Lu Yichuang's joke.

So she lowered her head even lower.

In order to prevent Lu Yichuang from seeing the expression on his face.

As soon as the 5 minutes were up, Tang Asi stood up.

"No one shows up, let's go."

"it is good."

As the two were walking towards the door, the housekeeper suddenly appeared at the corner.

He looked surprised and said, "Young Master, Young Madam, when did you come? I just saw you."

Lu Yichuan stared at the housekeeper and said coldly: "Where are grandpa and grandma?"

"The old man and the old lady are in the back garden admiring the flowers." The housekeeper said, "I will take you there."

Lu Yichuang didn't give the housekeeper a good look. He took Tang Asi's hand and walked out of the back door on his own.

The butler behind him looked disdainful.

He whispered, "Little bastard."

Tang Asi looked back at the housekeeper and was frightened by the cold smile on his face. He quickly retracted his gaze and whispered, "When I came to Lu's house before, I saw the housekeeper beat a little female attendant to death. The little girl was only about 15 years old."

Lu Yichuan nodded: "Yeah, he can be quite cruel sometimes."

"Then why do you keep such a person in the house?"

"Keeping him here will certainly be of great use." Lu Yichuan answered mysteriously.

Tang Asi was completely confused.

If she were the owner of the house, she would definitely break the legs of this old bad guy and throw him on the street to beg.

Keeping him in the world is a violation of morals.

"Don't think about him. He's just a lackey and trash. There's no need to waste your energy on him."

"it is good."

Before I reached the back garden, I heard sounds of laughter coming from there.

Looks like they're having a pleasant chat!

"Don't be afraid later." Lu Yichuan consoled him, "Just follow me when I call for help. Don't say anything else."

"it is good."

When he came to the back garden and saw a group of men, women, old and young sitting on the lounge chairs, especially the girl standing in the flowers telling jokes to a few elderly people, Lu Yichuang sighed unconsciously.

In addition to the Lu family, the old lady and old man of the Tang family were also there.

There is also Fan Xixi.

"Grandpa and grandma." Tang Asi followed Lu Yichuan and shouted.

As they walked over, the group of people's faces instantly darkened.

No one gave me a good look.

Tang Asi was very embarrassed.

It was Fan Xixi who finally broke the silence.
