Chapter 362: Chapter 362 Lu Zhanyu’s Defense_1

However, Lu Zhanyu looked at Chu Yanxi with a clear and cold gaze, showing none of the sympathy and concern she had hoped to see.

He said lightly, "As everyone has seen, Susu just threw you into the pool. You can tell your family whatever you like; I have no objections."

No matter how Chu Yanxi explained the situation to the Chu Family elders when she returned home, he had ways to ensure Susu’s safety without the Chu Family making an issue of it.

"Cousin?" Chu Yanxi could hardly believe her ears. Suppressing her shock, she asked with a face full of grievance, "Why? Why would Cousin say this about me? Wuu wuu wuu... She pushed me... You saw it, Cousin... wuu wuu wuu..."

"You should know very well why she pushed you. Susu is someone who dares to act and take responsibility. If she has done something, she won’t deny it. If she hasn’t done it and someone falsely accuses her, then she can only turn the accusation into fact," Lu Zhanyu explained on Susu’s behalf.

After speaking, Lu Zhanyu reached out and took Susu’s small hand: "Susu, let’s go back to the room."

"Okay!" Susu nodded.

"Aunt Susu, wait for me!" Qin Luoyun also tagged along eagerly.

Chu Yanxi watched Lu Zhanyu’s departing figure in disbelief.

Qin Susu had thrown her into the Lotus Pool in front of everyone, the evidence was incontrovertible—how could Brother Zhanyu give such a response?

She understood what Brother Zhanyu’s last words meant.

In her previous life at this time, she was utterly oblivious to adult matters and did not realize that the Chu Family was not as formidable as she had imagined.

Having experienced the downfall and bankruptcy of her family, left with no choice but to start over, she now clearly understood that during this period, the Chu Family was surviving by relying on the Lu Family.

Though they appeared bright and splendid on the surface, if the Lu Family stopped caring for them, the Chu Family would not be far from ruin.

And though Brother Zhanyu was young, he wielded considerable influence within the Lu Family.

So as long as Brother Zhanyu protected her, not even her father could do anything to Qin Susu.

It didn’t matter that Qin Susu had thrown her into the water today; even if she had beaten her half to death, she probably would have had to let it go.

A gust of cold wind blew by, causing Chu Yanxi to sneeze involuntarily.

Then she realized that everyone else had left, leaving her alone sitting on the grass by the Lotus Pool.

The people who had pulled her out of the water only cared that she did not drown, without any concern for whether she caught a chill or needed to change her clothes.

In that moment, Chu Yanxi felt not only cold in body but also in heart.

Finally reborn, heaven had given her a chance to change her fate, yet she inevitably still experienced the harshness of this world.

Power—it was what she desired most at this moment.

Only with power could she avoid facing such desolation again.

Thinking of Lu Zhanyu’s future status and authority, Chu Yanxi felt even more unwilling to accept her situation.

Chu Yanxi pondered for a long time, then gathered herself and stood up again.

She would not give up so easily; compared to the hardships she had suffered in her previous life, what she was facing now was nothing!

As long as she was alive, she would not give up without a fight!

Back in the house, from a distance, Chu Yanxi saw Lu Zhanyu helping Susu with her kindergarten craft homework.

That patient and gentle demeanor deeply wounded Chu Yanxi.

This was what she had longed for, yet Lu Zhanyu had given it all to Qin Susu, this interloper who had appeared out of nowhere!
