The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind-Chapter 231: Liang Ciqiu Released Without Charges?

Lin Yueyue’s face was ashen.

If this news reached Father Lu’s ears, she would be killed.

Before she could beg for mercy, she saw Yang Jiashu looking surprised behind her. "Brother Yan, you’re here, oh dear, my big mouth, I just blurted out the truth. Your dad won’t blame me, right?"

Lin Yueyue turned her head in shock. The son of the involved party was present; she wasn’t given any chance to turn things around!

[Wow, how did this scandal get out so quickly and why is Lu Qingyan’s father also your Golden Master? Are you an octopus, grabbing so much?]

Jiang Nanshu was shocked.

Eating this kind of big news not found in the plot was truly thrilling!

Jiang Yunchuan couldn’t help but roll his eyes. Indeed, an octopus, not knowing how many boats one can step on.

Where she found the courage to deceive so many Golden Masters was beyond him.

Thinking this, he felt fortunate that he had listened to his sister’s heart, rescuing his fate.

He looked towards Jiang Nanshu and saw that she didn’t even glance his way. She was all interested in watching Lin Yueyue, which left him feeling slightly disappointed.

What was so good about Lin Yueyue? She wasn’t even worth watching compared to him!

Once his company made big money, he could spend it on her.

Thinking so, he was filled with drive.

Some damages are hard to fix, so he had to treat her really well materially.

Lin Yueyue immediately knelt in front of Lu Qingyan, kowtowing, "Young Master Lu, you are a good person, please have mercy, let me go, please. I promise to stay far away from your father; I won’t appear before your family again, please forgive me."

Her makeup was smeared by her tears, her eyes full of pleading.

This was what extreme fear looked like in a person.

Lu Qingyan wasn’t angry, and even looked gentle. "I forgive you."

A spark of hope lit in Lin Yueyue’s eyes.

His tone still gentle, "But Lin Yueyue, you’re asking the wrong person. It was my father you slept with, and maybe due to your deception, he has contracted a disease. You should be asking for his forgiveness. I expect someone from the Lu family will take you to him soon."

"No... I don’t want to." Lin Yueyue’s pupils dilated with fear, tears brimming in her eyes, and she ran off to one side.

Without Lu Qingyan having to say anything, a pair of well-trained bodyguards subdued her and took her to the car.

The lead bodyguard respectfully said, "Big young master, Old Sir Lu invites you and Miss Nanshu to the villa."

[Grandpa Lu is really nice, always including me whenever there’s drama or fun to be had.]

Lu Qingyan nodded, "Let’s go."

Yang Jiashu walked up to Jiang Yunchuan, patted his shoulder sympathetically, and joked, "You’re really lucky, suddenly not blind anymore. If you hadn’t dumped Lin Yueyue, this green hat paired with AIDS would increase your happiness twofold."

Jiang Yunchuan felt a chill down his spine.

In Jiang Nanshu’s imagination, his fate was to die from AIDS.

He frowned gloomily, "Stop talking, I’m going to throw up." Then, somewhat anxiously, "Why did the Lu family’s affair involve my sister too? There won’t be any trouble, right?"

"Ah," Yang Jiashu single-handedly placed his hand on his hip, grinning, "What trouble could there be? Old Sir Lu has liked Nanshu from the start, you all know that."

Jiang Yunchuan felt somewhat uneasy.

He initially thought that Old Sir Lu had decided on Nanshu as his grandson’s bride because some high monk from an unknown temple predicted that Nanshu’s destiny was favorable, preserving his grandson’s life, that’s why the engagement was settled.

But the reality is.

No one knows which temple it was; everything was directed by Old Sir Lu. Well-respected, his word was law, and nobody dared to challenge him.

He wanted Jiang Nanshu to be his granddaughter-in-law, and from the beginning, he didn’t look down on her rural background.

Instead, he treated her very well. When everyone strongly opposed the marriage, he persisted stubbornly, insisting on no one but Jiang Nanshu. No one knew why.

"Forget it, it’s better this way. In the Lu Family, Nannan will never be at a disadvantage." Jiang Yunchuan sighed with relief, "Now that I’ve gotten rid of the cancer that Lin Yueyue is, I feel so much lighter. I won’t think about dating until the company is on a steady growth path. When my net worth reaches hundreds of millions and I have the strength, then I’ll consider marriage."

Yang Jiashu looked at him incredulously, "Are you serious? Can you really stay idle and not date?"

Jiang Yunchuan didn’t want to either.

But Jiang Nanshu had warned him that he would face crises in the future, and he felt that a lot of these crises would stem from women.

From this moment on, he decided to sever all romantic ties.

Without these external factors, he refused to believe that fate couldn’t be changed!

At this time, the car slowly drove into Half Mountain Villa.

There were a total of two cars.

One was for Lu Qingyan and Jiang Nanshu, and one for holding Lin Yueyue.

On the road, Jiang Nanshu learned some shocking news.

"What? Liang Ciqiu has been released?! Didn’t he commit murder? How can he be let out?"

Lu Qingyan, lowering his gaze, caressed Jiang Nanshu’s soft and delicate hands, like flawless white jade that one couldn’t let go of.

He spoke softly with a smile, "The Cheng family decided not to pursue Liang Ciqiu’s accountability, and the police had no choice but to release him."

Jiang Nanshu was at a loss for words.

[The plot is indeed powerful; Liang Ciqiu truly is one of the final villains. He always manages to be saved before his end, right?]

Indeed, he was fated.

Lu Qingyan coldly snickered in his heart.

Father Lu would rather give up two percent of the Lu’s shares to the Cheng family to get Liang Ciqiu out.

Two percent.

That amounted to several billion in dividends from the Lu family in one year.

Old Sir Lu almost had a heart attack when he found out.

When Father Lu was young, he was also a ruthless business tyrant. Under his management, the Lu family went through a period of decline, which only recovered after a marital alliance with the Shang Family, gradually bringing them to their current position, but perhaps the older he got, the more muddled he became.

He always liked to compete with Lu Mother, doing whatever would distress and upset her.

His main tactic was to anger her, but she wouldn’t dare divorce him, jumping back and forth in this vicious cycle.

And Lu Mother indeed didn’t dare to leave.

After all, it wasn’t just about her; behind her stood the entire Shang Family relying on her.

Even if she was tormented and disheartened, losing all affection for the entire Lu family, she was willing.

Because as long as she stayed at the Lu family, the Shang Family also benefitted.

Her own family, using the Lu family as a cover, committed numerous dirty deeds, and Old Sir Lu just turned a blind eye, letting them be as long as they didn’t cross the line.

But Lu Qingyan felt that, if his mother could be tougher and divorce, maybe the one regretting and looking back would be Father Lu, instead of them now loathing each other yet still entangled together.

The bodyguard pressed ahead with the ashen-faced Lin Yueyue, while Lu Qingyan walked leisurely at the back with Jiang Nanshu.

[To think I have to know all these dirty family secrets, Grandpa Lu really doesn’t see me as an outsider...]
