Chapter 68: I Wish He Would Look for Me Outside?
"What does Mrs. Lu mean by this?"
Jiang Li's wrist hurt from his grip, so she pulled it out and continued to put the things in the suitcase.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this.
"I prepared it so that Mr. Lu wouldn't forget to use it in a hurry."
Lu Yan stared at the small boxes in Jiang Li's hand, wishing that fire would come out and burn them.
"Mrs. Lu brought me dozens of small umbrellas, are you eager for me to find them outside?"
"I just reminded Mr. Lu to take measures, and it's also to protect myself, isn't it?"
Although she still rejected having a relationship with him from the bottom of her heart, Jiang Li knew that since she chose to come back and be a good Mrs. Lu, she had to fulfill the obligations of Mrs. Lu.
Lu Yan would not let her go as generously as he did last night, so it was only a matter of time for Jiang Li to solve his physiological needs for him.
We are all adult men and women. Jiang Li used to deceive herself and pretend to be confused.
Now that she has come to her senses, she has naturally repositioned herself.
She can not care and not ask about Lu Yan's private life, but she must also avoid him bringing back anything unclean that would affect her health.
Once upon a time, Lu Yan received a call late at night and left. She was annoyed to see this little face aggrieved and begging him not to leave.
Now he stared at her and said such words calmly, his handsome face changing with unpredictable emotions.
"Then I really can't let Mrs. Lu down."
Lu Yan said as he put away the suitcase in front of him, and packed up the boxes of small umbrellas that Jiang Li had repacked.
The cloakroom was quiet.
Jiang Li slowly stood up and groped for the wall of the cabinet to walk out.
Why should she be unhappy? Lu Yan used someone else and saved her, didn't he?
But when she thought of him being away on business for a few days, busy with some woman, and coming back to lie in the same bed with her, she felt sick.
Jiang Li told herself that this was what Mrs. Lu deserved.
She needed Lu Yan's money and needed to use his power to save her brother and father.
Nothing else mattered.
Jiang Li washed and packed up and received a message from Xiao Yan.
Everyone in the piano store discussed and raised some money to hire a lawyer for Fan Peng.
Jiang Li transferred the 10,000 yuan salary that Fan Peng had paid her in advance to the store manager, and told Xiao Yan to tell her in time if there was any new progress in the case.
The servants in the villa were all replaced with a new batch of new ones.
Hearing that Lu Yan had left, he knocked on the door outside and asked her if she wanted to get up for breakfast.
Jiang Li recognized that it was Aunt Wang who had boiled Chinese medicine for her before, got up, opened the door, and followed her downstairs.
"The husband is really good to his wife. He got up early in the morning and asked the kitchen to make the vermicelli crab soup that his wife likes, as well as shrimp dumplings and pickled side dishes sent by the old lady from the old house, saying that your wife likes it. The husband himself didn't even have breakfast and hurriedly asked Jin Biao to drive him away. Secretary Shen called home several times to urge him to hurry up, and he waited until his wife woke up before leaving."
Secretary Shen urged her home, and Lu Yan still told her that he was not in a hurry?
Jiang Li had nothing to think about, sitting at the dining table, eating shrimp dumplings and drinking crab soup slowly.
Actually, if you think about it, there is nothing wrong with being Mrs. Lu.
She is rich, powerful and has free time. Even if she has to endure Lu Yan's uncleanness and serve him occasionally, she can change her mindset and be a free male model. The male model even pays her money.
With an open mind, life doesn't seem so hard.
In the evening, Xiao Yan called her.
The lawyer went to see Fan Peng, and his case was much better than expected.
Those who do second-hand recycling never ask the seller where the things come from.
But Fan Peng is a cautious person. Before he bought it, he asked the seller to provide the certificate of conformity and the source channel of the piano, and kept it on file.
So the other party smuggled and counterfeited, and he was at most deceived and oversaw.
The millions of dollars for the purchase of the piano could not be recovered for a while because the seller could not be found.
But he was not involved in the case, so he just spent money to avoid disaster.
"Tomorrow we agreed to go pick up Mr. Fan for a wedding. Sister Li, do you want to come with us?"
Lv Yan was not at home, so Jiang Li had some free time, so she agreed.
Mainly, she had another question that she wanted to ask Fan Peng in person after meeting him.
Early the next morning, Jiang Li took a taxi to the police station where Fan Peng was detained.
Everyone arrived one after another and gathered together to wait for people.
Fan Peng came out and saw that everyone in the piano store was there. He was a rough man with a face full of stubble and tears in his eyes.
He was bankrupt at once. He could not get back the millions of yuan in payment for the goods, and the piano was confiscated. The second-hand buyer was quite righteous and did not ask him to pay the penalty for breach of contract.
After everyone briefly reminisced about the past, Fan Peng proposed to have a final meal together. I'm afraid they will go their separate ways in the future.
Because Fan Peng was not married, the police station notified his family of the case and detention.
Fan Peng called his parents immediately, and his parents were waiting for him in his hometown in the mountains.
Everyone suggested that they accompany Fan Peng back to his hometown in the mountains, and take advantage of the last bit of green in late autumn to travel and collect folk customs.
Everyone drove here together, and the store manager also drove Fan Peng's old pickup truck.
Others got on the previous cars one after another according to when they came.
The store manager also ran to squeeze into other cars, and a group of people left a message saying "see you in the mountains" and drove away.
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but in the end, there was only the two-seater old pickup truck left at the door of the police station, and Fan Peng and Jiang Li looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Get in the car, I just have something to ask you."
Jiang Li spoke generously. Fan Peng, a grown man, seemed awkward if he hesitated.
He reached out and held the cane in Jiang Li's hand, pulling her towards the pickup truck.
"The road is uneven. I'll take you to the pickup truck."
Jiang Li could actually do it herself, but thinking that she couldn't see the pickup truck, she simply followed him.
When they reached the passenger seat of the pickup truck, Fan Peng glanced at Jiang Li's thin waist that was as thick as his arm. He didn't dare to reach out. After opening the passenger door, he stepped forward and offered half of his shoulder, "That... is a bit high. You hold my shoulder to get in."
Jiang Li didn't say anything. She held the handle in the door with one hand and put the other hand on his broad shoulder to help him get in.
Fan Peng rubbed the shoulder that she had held with his thick palm, and smiled foolishly on his honest face, then he felt restrained and walked around the front of the car to the driver's seat.
While starting the car, he said, "If you have any questions, just ask."
"Actually, I came here to apologize to you..."
Jiang Li told him about how Lu Yan investigated and reported Fan Peng because of her.
Fan Peng felt embarrassed.
"I had some selfish motives and didn't dare to tell you. The people from Shengshi Group found a lawyer and provided key evidence. I only took a look at the goods channel bill provided by the second-hand seller at the time, and didn't keep it on file. I was able to get out so quickly because Mr. Lu's people found this bill from somewhere. Speaking of which, if this matter is exposed in the future, I'm afraid it won't just be bankruptcy. My parents are old, and I can get out safely and go home to accompany them. I have to thank Mr. Lu for not caring..."
