Chapter 210: Chapter 210 Innocent People

"Mr. Lu? Mr. Lu?"

Lu Yanchuan’s figure disappeared into the back garden, Lin Ke quickly followed, but after just two turns, Lu Yanchuan was nowhere to be seen.

After a few days, Lin Ke had gotten familiar with the layout of the Lu Mansion, and after several rounds in the back garden, she still couldn’t find Lu Yanchuan.

Thinking she might have seen wrong, Lin Ke turned to go back, but just as she was about to return to the house, she saw Lu Yanchuan standing alone by the flower bed.

Seeing no one around, Lin Ke steeled her heart, grabbed her collar, undid two buttons at her chest, and ran over, intending to throw herself at Lu Yanchuan.

Unfortunately, the sound of her running was rather loud, Lu Yanchuan knew someone was running towards him without even turning around.

Lin Ke’s attempt fell flat, and she nearly crashed into the flower bed.

"Mr. Lu... I fell and it hurts so much..."

Lin Ke looked pitifully at Lu Yanchuan, intentionally leaning forward, her innocent face paired with a devilish figure, if it were Lu Ming, he would have pounced on her without hesitation.

But she had encountered Lu Yanchuan, a cold and emotionless man.

Lu Yanchuan acted as if he hadn’t seen Lin Ke’s seduction, his gaze shifted beyond the flower bed, and even a smile appeared on his face.

Following Lu Yanchuan’s gaze, Lin Ke turned her head only to receive two harsh slaps on her face.

"How dare you, shameless wench, come to my house to seduce my man! Who gave you the audacity!"

Qiao Yi was furious; she knew something was odd about Lin Ke lately, turns out she was tired of Lu Ming and now set her sights on Lu Yanchuan as her new prize!

Thinking this, Qiao Yi resentfully rolled her eyes at Lu Yanchuan.

Without a doubt, this man must have known about Lin Ke’s intentions all along but never told her, just waiting for her to find out by herself!

Unable to contain her anger, Qiao Yi slapped Lin Ke two more times, dragging her towards the house.

Lin Ke couldn’t even fight Qiao Xin, let alone Qiao Yi, and was dragged along helplessly like a little chick.

Lu Yanchuan leisurely followed behind, looking utterly detached, as if today’s drama had nothing to do with him!

Thinking of how Lu Yanchuan kept her in the dark, Qiao Yi was determined to settle scores with him later, but the priority now was to drive this shameless woman out.

Qiao Yi initially planned to laugh at Qiao Xin’s misfortune, but now she felt humiliated to find herself in such a predicament, making her pull on Lin Ke even harder.

Lin Ke was dragged along, screaming, and the commotion caught the attention of the people inside the house; everyone was surprised when they saw the disheveled Lin Ke being brought in by Qiao Yi.

"What happened here? Why did it come to blows all of a sudden?"

Old Mr. Lu liked this sweet and sharp girl quite a bit, so seeing Qiao Yi treat her so roughly, he intervened to mediate.

"Dad, this trashy woman was just trying to seduce Yanchuan in the garden. If I hadn’t found out in time, you might have had a new daughter-in-law in a few days!"

As Qiao Yi spoke, she glared at Lu Yanchuan.

If it wasn’t for him indulging Lin Ke, how could she be so bold as to tear off her clothes and throw herself at Lu Yanchuan right in the garden!

Lin Ke is indeed hateful, but Lu Yanchuan is not without blame!

Old Mr. Lu had no idea such a thing had happened and his face immediately darkened.

"Speak, what exactly happened!"

"It’s unjust, I’m wronged! I was just in the garden when I saw Third Young Master by the flower bed and was about to ask what he would like for breakfast tomorrow, who would have thought it was too dark and I tripped, I didn’t even know what happened, Third Madam came over and hit me! I, I didn’t do anything!"

Lin Ke looked aggrieved and stubborn, and with those two slap marks on her face, she truly seemed pitiable.

Hearing Lin Ke say this, Old Mr. Lu’s suspicious gaze turned towards Qiao Yi.

"Yiyi, could it be that you saw wrong?"

The garden lights are generally not turned on unless necessary, so it’s not impossible that Qiao Yi saw something amiss because it was too dark.

Qiao Yi looked at Lin Ke and felt that it was really a pity she wasn’t acting.

"You said you just tripped, then why is your dress torn open? You tripped yourself, why didn’t you just stand up properly, why did you rush towards Yanchuan so determinedly? Also, you’re a maid, why do you need to ask Yanchuan what he wants to eat tomorrow?"

With a series of three questions, Lin Ke was left speechless, biting her lip with a stubborn expression of innocence, but she simply wouldn’t answer Qiao Yi’s questions.

Anyone with clear eyes could see what was really going on, Old Mr. Lu sighed. If today’s incident wasn’t a misunderstanding, then it could only be said that Lin Ke has disguised herself too well; even he has never suspected Lin Ke of harboring any ulterior motives.

Lin Ke’s demeanor might move Lu Ming, but to the weather-beaten Old Mr. Lu, it was just a very poor performance.

"If you have nothing to say then get out, the Lu family has no place for such shameless beings."

Qiao Yi snorted and sat down next to Old Mr. Lu, and he patted her hand twice, indicating her not to be angry for such a person.

To speak of anger, Qiao Yi wasn’t really that angry, but she never thought Lin Ke would target Lu Yanchuan.

Even though she knew Lin Ke seducing Lu Yanchuan would lead nowhere, Qiao Yi still didn’t like other women coveting her man.

Especially someone with Lin Ke’s status!

Lin Ke had already stopped talking, persistently sobbing as if she had been greatly wronged by Qiao Yi.

The other people in the room all understood the situation clearly, only Lu Ming, seeing Lin Ke sitting on the ground in a mess, couldn’t help but feel sore for her.

Lu Ming walked over to help Lin Ke up and even put his jacket on her, then turned back with a displeased look towards Qiao Yi.

"Keke is not that kind of person, she has suffered since childhood, always enduring and gentle in nature, how could she do such a thing, moreover caring about the younger uncle is just her being diligent and responsible, if even this becomes a reason for suspicion, then who would dare to get close to the younger uncle in the future!"

"So what? Does a bad background necessarily mean good character? Does caring for Yanchuan have to involve recklessly running into his arms? Ask her whether she truly tripped, or fell because Yanchuan dodged her embrace!"

Qiao Yi was almost amused by anger, does Lu Ming really not have a brain? Lin Ke casually sheds a few tears, and he believes her nonsense?

Lu Ming really did believe Lin Ke’s nonsense, even automatically making excuses for her.

"Qiao Yi, I think you are just scared the younger uncle will change his heart and not want you! Why tarnish an innocent person here!"
