The Crippled Boss Loves Me - Chapter 801

801 Did You Really Do it?

The summer sun shone on Shen Hanxing’s face, making her skin glow and her cheeks blush slightly. The breeze lifted the hem of her dress, but Shen Hanxing’s face was calm. She looked like a still oil painting, beautiful and dignified.

Lu Nuannuan raised her head and looked at Shen Hanxing in disbelief. Her eyes reddened even more. “Coming!”

Walking to a tree not far away, Shen Hanxing turned to look at Lu Nuannuan and asked calmly, “Why are you looking for me?”

“Madam Ji, I’m sorry to have disturbed you.” Lu Nuannuan’s politeness sounded weird. At this moment, she fully demonstrated her upbringing since she was young. Her every action and word was extremely polite. “My brother came home today and fought with the family. My father asked my brother to find a way to get investments, but he failed and even implicated my father…” Lu Nuannuan couldn’t help but shed a tear at the thought of the depressing atmosphere at home and her mother’s increasingly anxious look. As if she was afraid that Shen Hanxing would see it, she quickly wiped it away and said, “my brother even fought with my sister-in-law, Su Ling. Our family is a mess. We…”

!!
This day was a complete mess for Lu Nuannuan. She didn’t know when it started, but the house was no longer as warm as it used to be. Her parents, who used to be happy and loving, would complain and argue with each other. Her brother, who she admired, had gradually become a stranger to her. Even Su Ling, her best friend since she was young, had not been as close to her. Instead, she had become more distant and impatient with her. Lu Nuannuan didn’t know what had caused the house to become a mess. In the past, her mother had influenced her and would hate Shen Hanxing. She thought that the family wouldn’t have ended like this if Shen Hanxing hadn’t stolen Lu Shaoyang’s soul. But now, Lu Nuannuan was a little confused.

The last time she fell into the sea, the seawater seemed to have washed away Lu Nuannuan’s muddled brain, allowing her to learn how to observe with her own eyes finally. She also clearly realized that Shen Hanxing had not done anything. It was Lu Shaoyang and Su Ling who had caused trouble for Shen Hanxing time and time again. So this time, she could not even find someone to vent her grievances and resentment on. Lu Nuannuan was lost. She wanted to confide in someone, but there was no one.

“I’m not interested in your gossip.” Shen Hanxing raised her hand and interrupted Lu Nuannuan. “My family is still waiting for me. You can just get to the point.” The weather was so hot. If Ji Yan and Ji Qian kept waiting, she would feel sorry for them. Shen Hanxing’s tone was intimate and natural when she mentioned her family. She looked gentle and caring.

That made Lu Nuannuan heartache, and she even felt slightly disappointed. She couldn’t tell what she was sad about or jealous of. She could have had Shen Hanxing’s gentleness and tolerance, but she had lost it. Lu Nuannuan couldn’t help but laugh at herself. She used to think that Su Ling was the one who should marry Lu Shaoyang and that she was the most suitable sister-in-law candidate. That was why she had always been picky and mean towards Shen Hanxing. She looked down on Shen Hanxing from the bottom of her heart. But the truth was that Shen Hanxing had no interest in the Lu family.

Only now did Lu Nuannuan realize how arrogant she and her family had been. They had looked down on Shen Hanxing and had been extremely rude.

Lu Nuannuan sniffled and cleared her mind of all these thoughts. She said softly, “Mrs. Ji, I’m sorry. I didn’t have anyone to talk to during this time and couldn’t help but say too much nonsense to you.”

Shen Hanxing couldn’t help but take another look at Lu Nuannuan’s behavior. Her eyes were filled with emotion. Was this what growing up was? Lu Nuannuan had grown up under her parents and brother’s love and care. Her life had been smooth without obstacles, so she had been spoiled. However, the Lu Nuannuan now had reached the point of being cautious. In just a few short sentences, she had already apologized several times. She didn’t know if this change was good or bad.

Shen Hanxing pouted and did not say anything.

“Mrs. Ji, I came to ask you…” Lu Nuannuan seemed to have gathered all her courage, but she still lowered her head, not daring to look at Shen Hanxing. With her fingers clenched into her palms, she said, “Is it you? Did you cause our Lu family to become like this?” As her brother Lu Shaoyang had said, was it really that everything was Shen Hanxing’s revenge?
