Chapter 283: Chapter 283: Losing Instead of Gaining

The inspection team arrived quickly, blocking both the front and back doors, with a third team charging inside directly.

Inside, there were sounds both loud and quiet.

When the door of the east and west rooms was kicked open, the people inside sobered up. Song Wanlin saw the person on top of her and, for a moment, thought she was having a nightmare.

Lu Jiabai stepped back in shock, pulled up his pants, and pointed a finger at the intruders, “Get out, do you know who I am?”

On the other side, Liao Yongqiang hurriedly pulled over a quilt to cover the young girl.

Lu Nianying was in disbelief. Grasping the quilt, she stared at the ceiling, unable to comprehend how things had escalated to this point. A moment ago, she was still calling this person uncle, and now she was doing such things with him.

She only wanted to return to the city, why had she fallen into hell?

She was clearly innocent, so why did she have to suffer such retribution?

Shouldn’t it have been Xu Qinghuan with Lu Jiabai? Why was it her instead?

In fact, Xu Qinghuan was also considering their welfare. Even though there were generational differences, ultimately, there was no actual connection between the two pairs.

When singled out, they were people who couldn’t be associated with each other at all.

It’s unknown how Liao Yongqiang and Lu Jiabai negotiated with the inspection team, but these people soon left.

Xu Qinghuan naturally hadn’t planned on using this incident to have them convicted, otherwise, the Lu Family wouldn’t have remained the Lu Family.

But in life’s journey, the toughest hurdle is always one’s own heart.

Just look at the mindset of Lu Nianying and Lu Jiabai.

The inspection team discussed among themselves as they left.

“Damn, you could hear the noise from far away. It was so intense, I wondered what was going on, turns out it was an old and a young pairing up.”

“Really, tell us what you saw. Let the brothers get excited too.”

“Excited? I’m still rock hard. Damn, this is what you call a thrill.”

“What a shame, if we could have caught them and interrogated them, that would have been a treat for us.”

There is a book that once described capturing people and having them divulge how they were messing around. Those details, if organized linguistically, would be no less explicit than an erotic novel.

It can be considered a form of highly anticipated entertainment.

So, these people felt it was a pity.

All four of them came out with their clothes on, no one spoke. Lu Jiabai was furious, a typical case of trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used to bait it. Though he had his fun, it was with Song Wanlin, an old woman, who in the eyes of the Lu family’s eldest branch was nothing but trash.

Of course, Lu Jiabai wasn’t happy.

He didn’t even think highly of Xu Qinghuan, if it weren’t for the family being in a critical crisis right now, and the head of the family promising that once the matter was past, he could divorce Xu Qinghuan and marry someone from a reputable family.

This was all for the sake of rising up, especially with his second uncle in the family, all resources were tilted towards the second uncle, he practically received nothing.

His mother had very high expectations for him, especially managing affairs between men and women strictly.

This time, it was his mother who persuaded him to agree.

His first time was given away like this, Lu Jiabai could almost kill Song Wanlin.

Liao Yongqiang felt very conflicted, he had always had peculiar thoughts towards Song Wanlin, also knowing he was not worthy of her, willing to act as her pawn. He had been through women over the years, but had never married.

To say he was infatuated isn’t accurate, mainly he hadn’t found the right person.

He had unexpectedly done it with Lu Nianying.

“I’ll take responsibility for you,” Liao Qiang thought, given the circumstances, as he promised in front of Song Wanlin. He could only try to minimize the impact of this matter.

Fortunately, he hadn’t married, and the responsibility he should bear was something he could shoulder.

Lu Nianying suddenly burst into tears, covering her face as she rushed out.

How could she possibly marry Liao Yongqiang, who was her father’s age, a lackey of the Lu family? How could she marry him?

Yet, her body was already defiled, what would she do in the future?

“It’s all that bitch Xu Qinghuan’s fault!” Song Wanlin said through clenched teeth, “How dare she drug us.”

The key question was, how had she administered the drug?

“Wasn’t that cup of tea supposed to make you… didn’t you?” Song Wanlin asked Liao Yongqiang.

Liao Yongqiang personally bought the medicine, it was reliable, and he personally administered the drug, what could have gone wrong?

“She must have been skilled in pharmacology, which is why we fell into her trap.” Liao Yongqiang thought clearly.

Lu Jiabai tugged at his collar, still feeling a lingering heat that hadn’t dissipated. He didn’t want to look at the two, “I hope today’s matter stays buried inside you all and is never spoken of.”

Song Wanlin didn’t want to speak, her emotions were complex, yet she could only say one thing, youth is wonderful.

Much stronger than Lu Ranglian.

Her body felt burning pain.

Liao Yongqiang laughed self-mockingly, “Don’t worry, I wish I could forget it now.”

Lu Jiabai packed up his things and left.

Song Wanlin freshened up and was about to go out.

Liao Yongqiang grabbed her arm, “Where are you going?”

Song Wanlin said angrily, “You think where I’m going? That little bitch dares to use tricks on me, I want to ask her if she has any ounce of morality left. Even if she doesn’t admit it, I’m still her biological mother.”

Liao Yongqiang threw her to the ground, “Go, go now!”

Song Wanlin was infuriated, “What’s the meaning of this? After sleeping with my adopted daughter, is this how you treat me?”

Liao Yongqiang was almost losing his mind, “Reaching this point, was it my own will? Don’t forget, Jin He and Da Shan, those five people haven’t been found yet, neither alive nor dead.”

Once or twice she’s fallen into her hands, do you still think your daughter is someone you can easily manipulate?”

Song Wanlin was utterly terrified, “Who’s helping her?”

“I don’t know, but for now, don’t go looking for trouble with her,” Liao Yongqiang advised, “At least not until today’s mess is cleaned up.”

Song Wanlin was trembling all over, if the matter between her and Lu Jiabai reached the Lu family, she would face utter ruin.

Meanwhile, Xu Qinghuan had already sent photos to the photo studio for urgent processing.

Once the photos were ready, Xu Qinghuan sent both pictures directly to the Lu family’s old lady.

The two went to a state-run restaurant to buy some buns, picked up the package at the Xinhua Bookstore, and headed to the bus station.

At the bus station entrance, they encountered Ma Zilan who was waiting there like a rabbit waiting for food. Seeing the two of them, she looked as if she saw a piece of meat after being starved for so long, her eyes lighting up.

Jiang Xingye didn’t even glance at her, directly carrying the package onto the bus, buying tickets from the conductor, securing two seats.

“Xingye, your mom has words for you.” Ma Zilan hadn’t bought a ticket and the conductor wouldn’t let her board.

“I have nothing to say to you.” Jiang Xingye turned his head and wouldn’t look at her.

“Xingye, now that you have a wife, you can’t abandon your mother.” Ma Zilan said, her eyes filling with tears.

Noticing the people on the bus and the conductor looking their way, Jiang Xingye had no choice but to get off the bus and walk towards a more secluded area.

“Xingye…”

Before Ma Zilan could speak again, Jiang Xingye directly said, “I’ve been really busy lately. If it weren’t for seeing Li Ninghua today, I would’ve forgotten you even existed.”

Ma Zilan was stunned.

“I used to hate you, even thought of killing Li Ninghua!”

Ma Zilan’s face turned pale with fright, “Xingye, I didn’t mean it. Ninghua has health issues, I heard your wife is skilled in medicine, I just want your wife to help treat him.”
