Chapter 2: Su Yun Jiao, You've Gone Too Far!

Seeing Su Yun Jiao want to break off the engagement, Lu Chi's face instantly darkened: "Su Yun Jiao, you've gone too far!"

The engagement was set since childhood; how could Su Yun Jiao just say she wants to break it off and it be done?

"If you don't want to help, forget it! There's no need to bring up the breakup; I know you're jealous of Qin Xue, but she and I are just ordinary friends. Don't be so unreasonable, okay?"

Lu Chi took Su Yun Jiao's statement about breaking off the engagement as just a tantrum.

He never even considered that Su Yun Jiao might seriously want to break off the engagement.

At that moment, a knocking sound suddenly came from outside the Police Station office.

"You two, stop chatting, Lu Chi, right? Your older brother has come to pick you up."

Older brother?

Is it Lu Jingqing?

Su Yun Jiao furrowed her brows at those words.

In her previous life, she took the blame for Qin Xue as Lu Chi said, and Lu Chi called Lu Mu.

The one who came should have been Lu Chi's mother.

How could it be Lu Jingqing?

But soon, Su Yun Jiao understood from Lu Chi's gaze.

Because she hadn't taken the blame for Qin Xue, Lu Chi didn't dare let his mother know he was going to a hotel with another woman.

So he had no choice but to call Lu Jingqing.

Thinking of this.

Su Yun Jiao increasingly felt like a joke.

It turned out Lu Chi also knew that his reason for going to a hotel with Qin Xue was improper.

She had thought Lu Chi didn't know.

Outside the Police Station, Lu Jingqing walked in.

He wore a suit and leather shoes, dressed exquisitely; his handsome, cold features showed no flaw; his narrow, deep eyes behind gold-rimmed glasses; his every move gentlemanly elegant, yet hinting at an aloofness that kept strangers at bay.

It was obvious Lu Jingqing had been summoned in the middle of attending a banquet, and hadn't even had time to change clothes.

"Please have a family member sign."

"Mm."

Lu Jingqing had already had the Secretary and the Police Station staff greet him, completed all procedures, and not a cent of the required fine was missing.

The bodyguards outside had already come in and directly took Lu Chi away.

And Lu Chi didn't even say thank you.

"Jiao Jiao?"

Lu Jingqing suddenly called her name.

That voice was as clear and cold as a mountain spring, yet also had a man's distinctive low tone.

Just calling her name made Su Yun Jiao's heart involuntarily tremble.

She had met Lu Jingqing only a few times.

But because her parents had died early, during holidays the Lu Family would invite her to their home for New Year's dinner in order to secure her as their future daughter-in-law.

Lu Jingqing would occasionally be there.

But the two had never spoken.

She even thought Lu Jingqing didn't remember her name at all.

"Lu..."

Su Yun Jiao was somewhat unsure how to address Lu Jingqing.

After all, Lu Jingqing is not old; he is only twenty-five this year.

He is only eight years older than she is now.

Call him older brother?

Isn't that a bit too strange?

Lu Jingqing seemed to see her embarrassment, so he said, "Just call me older brother."

"... Jingqing older brother."

Lu Jingqing casually picked up Su Yun Jiao's backpack from the chair and said, "I'll have the driver take you home."

Su Yun Jiao didn't refuse, but obediently nodded.

Su Yun Jiao felt no ill will toward Lu Jingqing.

Lu Jingqing's relationship with the Lu Family was actually not good.

Because Lu Jingqing was born of the deceased Lu patriarch and his original wife; later the Lu matriarch lost favor, the patriarch took Lu Chi's mother, a dancer, as his consort, and only then was Lu Chi born.

At that time, rumors spread that Lu Jingqing was the son of the Lu matriarch's affair with her first love, causing a great stir in Hai Cheng.

Although the patriarch suppressed the matter, Lu Jingqing was ultimately expelled from the Lu Family after the patriarch's death.

If it weren't for the fact that Lu Jingqing later founded L Group overseas and became the overseas Boss Lu.

The Lu Family would not fawn to let Lu Jingqing return to acknowledge his ancestors.

The so-called enemy's enemy is a friend.

Su Yun Jiao even really wanted to cling to Lu Jingqing's thigh.

After all, she is now alone and helpless, with no relatives in this world, yet behind her lies the vast fortune her parents left behind.

The Lu Family before her eyed her inheritance like wolves and tigers; if she let her guard down, the mother and son would consume it completely.

She would end up with the same fate as in her previous life.

Thinking of this, Su Yun Jiao's eyes sank.

Where is your home address?

Inside the car, Lu Jingqing suddenly spoke up to ask.

108 Anping Jie.

Su Yun Jiao almost blurted out the Lu Family's address.

But only after coming to her senses did she suddenly realize she was now the high-school-era Su Yun Jiao.

Sure enough, Lu Jingqing furrowed his brows: "Do they often let you stay at the Lu Family?"

... Hmm.

What Su Yun Jiao said wasn't a lie.

Lu Chi's mother often let Su Yun Jiao stay at the Lu Family, even preparing a room for her there.

Previously, Su Yun Jiao had thought that Lu Mu was genuinely kind to her.

But she didn't realize that this was merely Lu Mu's means of binding her.

Who would readily let go of a fat sheep within reach?

"Xiao Li, drive to the hotel near the school."

Lu Jingqing quickly understood Su Yun Jiao's current situation.

He calmly said: "You are now a high school student and still a minor; even if you have an engagement with Lu Chi, you shouldn't just let him run wild."

"What... run wild?"

Su Yun Jiao looked at Lu Jingqing in confusion.

"You've already opened a room, and that's not messing around?"

Lu Jingqing furrowed his brows.

He appeared just like an elder lecturing a junior.

Only then did Su Yun Jiao realize that Lu Jingqing had gotten the wrong idea.

"Brother Jingqing, it's not what you think; actually I..."

"No matter the reason, you should still mind your bounds." Lu Jingqing paused, then asked: "Did he touch you?"

Su Yun Jiao quickly shook her head.

"That's good."

Lu Jingqing nodded and said: "It's too late now; you still have class tomorrow, so just rest one night at the hotel and don't think about today's matters."

"Thank you, brother."

While apologizing, Su Yun Jiao couldn't help but observe Lu Jingqing before her.

That chiseled, perfect side profile bore a faint aloofness between the brows, and there seemed to be a hint of fatigue under the eyes.

She remembered that in her previous life, Lu Jingqing seemed to have gotten into a car accident during her senior year of high school.

The Lu Family members wanted to seize Lu Jingqing's property, but discovered that he had already made a will, bequeathing his assets to the state after his death.

The Lu Family ended up with not a single cent, and it was precisely because of this that they went bankrupt overnight.

Su Yun Jiao calculated the time.

If calculated according to the timeline of her previous life.

Then the time until Lu Jingqing's car accident... isn't it only half a year away?

"Get out of the car."

Lu Jingqing beside her spoke up.

The driver had already opened the car door on Su Yun Jiao's side.

Su Yun Jiao suddenly said: "Brother! I just realized I didn't bring my ID."

Su Yun Jiao instinctively blocked the school uniform pocket where her ID was kept.

Now that I think about it, the timing of the Lu Family's move against Lu Jingqing in my previous life was too coincidental.

Moreover, the means of the car accident were the same as the means used to kill her.

This is very likely deliberate on the part of the Lu Family.

Today should be their only encounter.

She doesn't recall meeting Lu Jingqing at all in the coming six months.

So she must seize this opportunity.

Otherwise... Lu Jingqing will end up killed by the Lu Family just like her.
