Chapter 160: I’ll Forgive You (1/2)

When all the Lu family members suddenly heard Cheng Xi call out from below, they all felt their scalps go numb. Lu Chenming was the first to regain his senses, and he drew back the curtains and yelled out, “What else do you have to say? I even gave you my blessings, but why did you have to go for my brother? You’re too loathsome!”

As soon as he yelled this out, he started to cry. As he wiped his tears away, he shut the curtains again, ran into his bed, and buried himself in his blankets.

Cheng Xi was speechless. “……”

She swore, she really didn’t do anything!

She earnestly looked up at the window. This time, Lu Chenzhou appeared in front of the window. He looked at her and coolly said, “Come up.”

And so, Cheng Xi went upstairs with the cat still in her hands. The housekeeper had clearly heard Lu Cheming’s yell just now, and when she saw Cheng Xi move to go back into the house, she quickly stretched out her hands and said, “Why don’t you give Daggry to me.”

Even she was looking at Cheng Xi with a funny expression.

Cheng Xi didn’t have the luxury to care about what the housekeeper was thinking, so she handed the cat over, brushed some remnant cat hairs off of her body, and headed upstairs.

She had to say, the Lu household really was quite large. When she had been walking around slowly just now, she hadn’t realized its full extent, but when she was actively trying to rush back indoors, she felt like she had to walk a very long way.

However, Cheng Xi wasn’t in that much of a hurry. It was just a troublesome issue to clarify; she was certain that she and Lu Chenming hadn’t had any sort of excessive contact, and the only reason why he would think that she had seduced him was that he had some sort of mental conditions brought on by unrequited love. She had seen this sort of patient before; one of the most common symptoms was that the patient would stubbornly stalk the other party, and even extrapolate from any brief encounters with the other party that the two of them were in a relationship. Afterwards, when the patient found out that the other party had a boyfriend or husband, they would feel as if they’d been betrayed, and, in the most severe cases, might even lead the patient to commit murder.

Such patients tended to be antisocial, gloomy, and find holding conversations with other people difficult. As a result, they would push all of their emotion baggage onto their unrequited lover, and Lu Chenming’s personality did indeed seem to match that of such patients…… In the blink of an eye, Cheng Xi had already thought up a few treatment plans. However, she never expected that, when she finally entered Lu Chenming’s room, he really did have evidence of the two’s “romance.”

There were rows upon rows of chat logs, all of them kept encrypted within his phone as if they were treasures. There were even some photographs of Cheng Xi, and the backdrop of each photograph was always Cheng Xi’s mother’s house or even Cheng Xi’s own house. There was even one of her in a doctor’s lab coat in the hospital!

Cheng Xi rarely ever posted pictures of herself on social media, so these could only have been sent over privately.

At this point, she really wanted to yell out, When on earth did this happen? Why didn’t I know about this at all?

She glanced at Lu Chenming, who had given her his phone and then retreated back inside his blankets like a turtle, and then asked, “Can I see these chat logs?”

She didn’t get a response.

When Lu Chenzhou’s grandparents saw these things being pulled out, they instantly became mentally and physically weary. Unable to bear it any longer, they stood to the side and didn’t say anything.

Lu Chenzhou walked toward the side of the bed, leaned over, and roughly prodded the blanket. “Come out and unlock your phone. If it’s true, then I’ll return her to you.”

Lu Chenzhou’s harsh words rendered Cheng Xi speechless.

Even though she knew that Lu Chenzhou wasn’t an ordinary person, her heart still went cold whenever she heard him say things like this. She took a deep breath, only able to mask her discomfort.

Lu Chenming hesitated for a moment before actually coming out. He first looked at her with eyes as red as a rabbit’s before lowering his head and taking his phone back from Cheng Xi’s hands. He slowly unencrypted the files and then returned the phone to her even as he stole another glance before retreating back into his blankets like a frightened rabbit.

Lu Chenming’s actions also rendered Cheng Xi speechless.
