Rumor has it that the young master has a hidden illness

Upon seeing the mask, something flashed quickly in Jing Sichen's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and looked around at the group of people.

Their gazes were focused on Lin Ao'ao.

At this moment, Lin Ao'ao's face turned pale with fright.

What should I do?

What should she do now that her scheme has been exposed?

She quickly looked at Zhuang Su and whispered for help, "What should we do? He won't let us go!"

Zhuang Su did not reply; her aloof demeanor made it seem as if she had never known her.

Lin Aoao tried hard to remind herself not to panic, but her legs were trembling so badly that she couldn't even stand up with the help of her crutches.

"Looks like I really underestimated you." Jing Sichen glared at Lin Ao'ao, a smileless curve forming at the corner of his mouth. "You're already getting restless again, with the cast still on your leg?"

"Young Master Jing! It wasn't me! I can't even walk properly now, I..." Before she could finish her excuse, Lin Ao'ao was terrified by Jing Sichen's decisive and ruthless demeanor and burst into tears.

He didn't say a word, but she could feel his arrogant aura, as if he were warning her: If you confess honestly, I might give you a way out.

Waaaaah—

How can there be such an amazing man in the world?

He makes people fall for everything about him.

He almost became her man.

Lin Ao'ao was filled with regret and pain, but at the same time, she made up her mind: after this matter was over, she would definitely take Jing Sichen away!

"Grandma ordered me to do it!" Lin Ao'ao immediately retorted, tears streaming down her face as she looked pitifully at Jing Sichen, saying sadly, "Actually, after seeing my brother-in-law protect my sister several times, I let go. But, due to Grandma's threats, if I don't do as she says, I'll have a very difficult life. Brother-in-law, please forgive me, okay?"

In the past, as long as Lin Aoao put on this pitiful and coquettish look, no one would bear to punish her even if she made a huge mistake.

But Jing Sichen just watched coldly.

His expression was as if he were watching a movie where everyone was awkwardly acting, and he was so bored he got angry.

"Lin Ao'ao!" Zhuang Su said coldly, "To protect yourself, you've started biting people indiscriminately? Why would I order you to do such a thing?"

"You still won't admit it in front of your brother-in-law?" A dark glint flashed in Lin Ao'ao's eyes. "This scheme was clearly your idea, and it was the man you found! If you don't believe me, you can confront him! Didn't he just say that I was just a pawn?"

At this moment, Lin Ao'ao was not afraid at all.

Anyway, according to her plan, this time, even if Lin Lulu is not hurt, Zhuang Su will be hurt.

"Young Master Jing," Zhuang Sulian said without changing her expression, "it must be Lin Ao'ao who conspired with that man to harm Lulu, and then, failing that, tried to harm me. The things that man said on his deathbed were clearly to exonerate Lin Ao'ao; perhaps he even hoped she could save his life!"

"No, that's not true!" Lin Ao'ao knew Zhuang Su wasn't so easy to deal with. "Lin Lulu, believe me! It really was her who ordered it!"

"Lin Ao'ao, you really disappoint me." Zhuang Su sighed, then said, "If I wanted to harm Lulu, why would I have immediately told your grandfather and asked him to send people to rescue her when I received the news that something might happen to her? Lulu, I'm so worried about you."

"How...how is this possible?" Lin Aoao couldn't believe what she was hearing. "You..."

She quickly figured out what had happened.

It turns out that Zhuang Su had also prepared a backup plan.

And it's so watertight?

So, just when she thought she could manipulate Lin Lulu and Zhuang Su, she was the one who was manipulated by Zhuang Su.

"Yes, Si Chen," Lin Hongjiang chimed in. "If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance footage. After Su Su told me about this, I immediately sent people to look for Lu Lu. The video can't be faked."

Watching them bite each other, Lin Lulu's gaze fell on Zhuang Su, finding the woman truly terrifying.

Between Zhuang Su and Lin Ao'ao, Lin Lulu is more willing to believe Lin Ao'ao.

After all, Lin Ao'ao was arrogant and straightforward, never hiding anything, and even the schemes she used were not particularly intricate.

But Zhuang Su is different; he is far too cunning.

It seems that Lin Ao'ao has been tricked by Zhuang Su this time.

Although she had long known that the Lin family could abandon anyone for the sake of profit.

But when Lin Ao'ao, such a beloved child, was truly abandoned by them, Lin Lulu still found it somewhat unbelievable.

Although Lin Ao'ao didn't have any great abilities and had been causing trouble since childhood, her face alone gave her a head start in life.

That's why Lin Hongjiang chose to protect Lin Ao'ao and prevent her from marrying Jing Sichen.

Now, it's being discarded so easily?

Thinking about it this way, Lin Lulu suddenly felt that it was actually a lucky thing that she had never been liked by the Lin family since she was a child.

After all, they don't have to suffer the blow of "useful pieces, useless pieces to be discarded"!

Thinking about it, I feel that Lin Aoao is really quite pitiful.

With a sigh, her gaze suddenly met Jing Sichen's. When she saw his undisguised majesty, her heart tightened for no reason. She wondered how he would punish Lin Ao'ao.

He simply parted his lips and said calmly, "Why would it need to involve investigating surveillance footage? He's just a piece of trash looking for revenge. Do you think I'd believe a word he says?"

"That's good!" Lin Hongjiang breathed a sigh of relief. "Sichen, I knew you were the most understanding! Our Jing and Lin families are meant to be friends for generations to come!"

Hearing Lin Hongjiang's eloquent words, Jing Sichen smiled.

"A long-standing friendship?" The tone was full of sarcasm.

Changing the subject, he continued, "Just because I said I wouldn't listen to him, does that mean your Lin family can absolve themselves of any responsibility?"

His scarlet eyes glared over, and the powerful anger he exuded seemed to carry a chilling wind, sending shivers down one's spine.

"Young Master Jing." Lin Hongjiang's face stiffened.

Jing Sichen was trying to embarrass him in front of everyone.

What's wrong?

Does he really have to compensate Lin Ao'ao?

However, he was clearly in the wrong, so he could only suppress his anger and force a smile, saying, "We're all family. Lulu is my granddaughter, after all. It hurts me to see her wronged. Lulu, you haven't forgotten what Grandpa told you, have you? We're the closest of friends. Please talk to Sichen. I'll give you an explanation for this, so let's not dwell on it, okay?"

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone turned to look at Lin Lulu, and the scrutinizing gazes made her tremble slightly.

So, is he threatening her?

If she doesn't listen to him, he's prepared to expose the masked woman and spread rumors that this isn't the first time she's sold her body.
