Chapter 251: Chapter 251: Scheming Boy Third Brother Goes Online
Take her away? Where to? Suli?
Suddenly, Lu Sheng recalled the invitation from Chen Shu in the apartment earlier, saying he hoped she would accompany him and Juanjuan to Suli.
So, Chen Shu wasn’t here for Li Muchen, and even bringing Juanjuan home might just be an excuse to get close to her.
He was here for her.
But why?
Lu Sheng frowned—whether in her past life or now, she was certain she did not know Chen Shu before, and had never seen him.
And "change back," change back into what?
Could it be that Chen Shu is also from the Demon Hunter clan, knows she is a demon, and wants to take her and turn her back from human to demon?
Before knowing the true intentions of the opponent, rashly striking would only startle the snake, so Lu Sheng decided to hold her forces.
"I understand, thank you for telling me all this." Lu Sheng steadied her mind and spoke to Gu Siyu.
"I’ve already discussed the land purchase with Li Muchen, and Chen An will negotiate with you later. This multi-billion dollar deal can help you establish a foothold in the company."
"And, for safety, you should change to a different hotel before you leave Beijing."
Saying that, Lu Sheng handed over a business card for a hotel, and additionally, a VIP room card.
"This hotel is owned by my eldest brother, I’ve already booked a room for you, and you don’t need to pay anything."
"I’ve talked to my big brother already, he will arrange for several bodyguards to protect you twenty-four hours a day."
"Besides, if you detect any danger, you can also call me directly."
Gu Siyu did not expect the girl to be so thorough.
Even though she had harmed her before, not only did she hand over the information of those debt collectors to the police beforehand, but she also helped her continue the business deal, booked a hotel, and found bodyguards.
Even in Beijing, within the Gu Family, rarely did anyone care about her like this, so Gu Siyu couldn’t help but sniffle, slightly embarrassed, "Is, is this too much trouble..."
"Bothered by the trouble?" the girl’s voice was cool, lifting her eyes, "Then you should just come to my house, I’ll protect you."
"No, no, I, I..." Gu Siyu hurriedly waved her hands, her face turning red in an instant.
She... she’s really so cool.
Gu Siyu felt her heart racing as if it was about to jump out.
She didn’t know if it was because of shyness, or because her heart was moved, anyway, she couldn’t dare to look at Lu Sheng’s face anymore.
"Then just stay well at the hotel," saying this, Lu Sheng stood up.
As if suddenly recalling something, her gaze turned to Gu Siyu, "...I am also an illegitimate daughter, I know your situation in the Gu Family."
"Some people, if you can’t touch their hearts honestly, then use schemes. If you can’t make everyone like you, then make the most influential person in the family like you."
"Like your big brother, if he cares about you, then find a way to make him care more. When being targeted, harassed, and bullied, let your big brother know and see the protection, don’t secretly wipe away tears alone."
"Observe those people’s likes, characters, weaknesses, Achilles heels, then attack them one by one in the way most advantageous to yourself. Don’t be too naive and weak, or they will only push you further."
Gu Siyu did not expect Lu Sheng to share these with her.
"You mean, you’ve also experienced this before..."
"Maybe at the beginning."
Lu Sheng thought of her initial days arriving in Jiang City, "But later on, I didn’t need to use any schemes. Because my brothers really love me, and I truly love them too."
—
Although she still didn’t know the reason Chen Shu did all this, at least she knew he had ulterior motives for approaching her, and that he is not at all what he seems, which was a gain.
After parting with Gu Siyu, Lu Sheng returned to the Lu family. Upon entering, the housekeeper told her that tonight, only she herself was at home.
Jiang Ting had gone out to play cards with others, the eldest brother was working overtime at the company, the second brother was on shift at the hospital, the third brother hasn’t returned home in nearly half a month. Fourth Brother was called away by Han Jing for some reasons, and Fifth Brother went to the library.
The weather forecast mentioned there would be a storm tonight.
When Lu Sheng arrived, she saw the skies darkening as the dark clouds began to spread across the sky.
And after she took a bath and came out, even though it wasn’t dinner time yet, the sky was already completely covered by dark clouds.
Outside the window, it was pitch black, followed by the booming sound of thunder from afar, which then suddenly exploded in mid-air, releasing a deep and loud rumble from afar to near.
During the time Lu Sheng’s calf bone was fractured and she was recuperating at home, there was always someone by her side every day. Jiang Ting and her brothers took care of her during the day, and at night, the "hugging pillow" Li Muchen came to accompany her.
But today, there was no one at home, and the thunder outside was too loud, making the house seem even quieter.
So, the servant knocked on the door and asked Lu Sheng what she wanted to eat in the evening, to which Lu Sheng replied that she didn’t really want to eat and told them not to prepare anything.
Then, she picked up the remote and started choosing a movie on the TV.
On stormy days, one is most suited to watching horror movies alone.
So, Lu Sheng looked for a while and picked the horror movie that was claimed to be the scariest in the past decade, then got up to turn off the lights in the room.
She sat cross-legged on the carpet in front of the sofa, focused on the movie while eating popcorn, and didn’t check her phone at all.
Therefore, she completely missed the huge bunch of messages that had already been chatted in the "Happy and Fulfilling Family" seven-person group chat created by her eldest brother.
[Lu Jingyan: @Shengsheng, Shengsheng, Aunt Li said you don’t want to eat dinner? What’s the matter?]
[Lu Jingyan: Are you not hungry or have no appetite? Did you eat outside? Is it that you’re feeling unwell?]
[Lu Siyan: Shengsheng is feeling unwell?]
[Lu Siyan: I’ll ask a colleague to cover my shift, I’m coming home now.]
[Lu Jingyan: I should also go back and see, it’s been a minute and Shengsheng hasn’t responded, I’m a bit worried.]
[Lu Youye: !! Shengsheng is feeling unwell? ?? I am going to bike home immediately!!!]
[Lu Jingyan: ?]
[Lu Jingyan: Didn’t I confiscate your motorcycle? Where did you get a bike?]
[Lu Youye: Big brother... I meant the shared bicycles.]
[Lu Youye: (T_T) It’s already tough enough only riding shared bicycles when going out, can’t you have a little basic trust in me!!]
[Lu Youming: I’m on my way back.]
[Lu Youming: I brought her favorite spicy grilled pork kidneys, she would probably want to eat it.]
[Lu Siyan: Don’t give this to her yet, just in case she has an upset stomach, eating greasy and spicy barbeque will make it worse.]
[Lu Ziye: Isn’t it, the four of you are all not at home right now?]
[Lu Ziye: The weather forecast already said there would be a storm tonight, now it’s both windy and rainy and there’s thunder and lightning, and you left Shengsheng at home alone?]
[Lu Ziye: Is that how you are brothers? If I were Shengsheng, I’d be heartbroken.]
[Lu Jingyan: ... Ziye is right, it’s my fault for being caught up in work.]
[Lu Siyan: Was scheduled for an emergency shift, otherwise I’d be home tonight.]
[Lu Youming: Didn’t check the weather forecast.]
[Lu Youye: A true warrior never checks the weather forecast when going outside!]
[Lu Youye: Damn, this rain is so heavy!! My hat was blown away by the wind the moment I stepped outside!!]
[Lu Youye: Wait... that’s wrong, aren’t you not at home either, Third Bro, why are you scolding us?]
[Lu Ziye: Sorry, I thought of the storm tonight and requested leave from the crew yesterday, just got home.]
[Lu Ziye: I’m going to accompany Shengsheng, you guys take your time getting back.]
[Lu Ziye: If you can’t make it back, it’s fine, Shengsheng having me as a brother is enough ^_^]
[Lu Jingyan: ?]
[Lu Siyan: .]
[Lu Youming: ...]
[Lu Youye: ????!!!!????]
[Lu Youye: Seriously, Third Bro, why are you always so scheming!]
[Lu Youye: Ah ah ah ah Big Bro, can you kick Third Bro out of the group! Can you!]
