Chapter 869: Husband And Wife Falling Out (1)
Li Yan looked at Lu Shu’s smiling face and recalled the confessions he had heard at the police station. His expression became even more unsightly. “You know very well what you’ve done. Let me ask you, did you send people to gun down Ms. Zhao?”
Lu Shu drew in a cold breath and glared at Li Yan. “Brother Yan, why would you think so? Why would I try to hurt Ms. Zhao? Did you hear some gossip outside? Brother Yan, you and I are husband and wife. Don’t you know who I am? How can you listen to people who are trying to frame me?”
Li Yan reached out and pulled off Lu Shu’s hand that was gripping his arm. He smiled wryly. “It’s because I do know you and what kind of person you are. It’s because of that, I know it’s possible for you to do something like this. Tell me honestly, did you do this?”
“I…” Lu Shu wanted to retort and defend herself, but when she met Li Yan’s eyes, she could not help but cower. She did not dare to look into his eyes, much less look at his face, that was filled with disappointment and pain.
Seeing that Lu Shu could not speak, Li Yan’s heart instantly turned cold. He was even more certain that what those people said was true. Lu Shu arranged everything. She wanted to harm Ms. Zhao, and she wanted to kill her!
Realizing this, Li Yan suddenly shook off Lu Shu’s hand and bent down to flip over the table in front of the two of them as if he was venting.
With a loud bang, Lu Shu was shocked. She wanted to go forward and grab Li Yan, but he pushed her away.
“Brother Yan…” Lu Shu’s eyes widened as she called out with a mournful expression.
“Don’t touch me.” Li Yan was unmoved. He gave her a cold glance and turned to leave.
Lu Shu stared blankly at her hand, that had been cruelly pushed away. It took her a long time to react. Seeing that Li Yan was about to walk out of the house and might not return, Lu Shu finally couldn’t care less. She shouted loudly, “Brother Yan!”
When Li Yan heard Lu Shu’s shrill cry, he quickened his pace.
Lu Shu took a deep breath and forcefully held back the tears in her eyes. After thinking for a moment, she made up her mind. She walked to the other side and took out an envelope from the cabinet. She flung it forcefully and threw it directly in front of Li Yan.
The envelope had already been opened. With Lu Shu’s forceful throw, all the photos inside fell out. Some of them even slid to Li Yan’s feet.
Li Yan was stunned for a moment. He lowered his head and looked at the photos. When he saw what was in the photos, his eyes flew wide open.
“You had someone to follow me!” This was the first thing that came to Li Yan’s mind as he looked at the photos.
Lu Shu smiled coldly. “Follow you? No, why can’t I do that? If I had not asked someone to follow you, how long more would I have been kept in the dark?”
Li Yan’s expression changed slightly. “What do you mean? Lu Shu, did you misunderstand something? Ms. Zhao and I are not…”
“Not what? You dare to say that you have no affair with her at all?”
“I… Of course, I have no affair with her. She’s a married woman.”
“Do you mean that if she’s not a married woman, that’s fine?”
Li Yan was stunned, and his face flushed red. “You… you’re completely twisting the facts!”
“I’m twisting the facts? Am I twisting the facts? Or are you acting guilty and not daring to say it?” Lu Shu stared at Li Yan’s face. She felt that all her rationality was about to be completely driven out of control by the photos on the ground and Li Yan’s attitude towards Zhao Youlin.
“I… What are you even saying? Ms. Zhao and I aren’t what you think at all. I’ve only met her a few times, and most of it was because of work. There’s nothing between us, to begin with. Everything is just your own wild imagination. And just because of your imagination, you tried to get someone killed. You’re simply unreasonable.”
“I’m unreasonable? My Imagination is wild? Li Yan, do you dare to pat your chest and tell me that you’re not thinking about Zhao Youlin right now? It’s not the eldest lady of the Zhao family, it’s the Zhao Youlin from the police station. Do you dare to say that you don’t have a different feeling towards the eldest lady of the Zhao family just because the two women have the same name and surname? Do you dare to claim that you’re not even trying to find a trace of Zhao Youlin in that woman? Do you dare to say it? Do you dare to say it?”
Li Yan was stunned. He did not dare to say it, and he really could not say it because Lu Shu was right. He had indeed thought of looking for the person who had left the world forever in the body of that Ms. Youlin, the figure of the person who had left him forever, and he seemed to have really found her, but…
Lu Shu saw that Li Yan did not speak. The anger in her heart burned even more fiercely. “That’s right. I admit that I was the one who sent people to harm that woman. I went to great lengths to get rid of that woman, but who was I doing all of this for? It was all because of you! Brother Yan, don’t forget that you’re my husband, and I’m your wife. I’m the one who’s legally supposed to be by your side, but you’re secretly flirting with another woman behind my back. Brother Yan, I’m also a woman. I can be jealous, and I’ll be jealous too. I can’t stand that my husband is cheating on me with another woman. The reason I did that was all because of you, all of you!”
Li Yan looked at Lu Shu’s extremely twisted face, which was filled with jealousy. For a moment, he did not know what to say. There was some guilt, some surprise, but more disappointment.
Not long after they got married, he realized that Lu Shu was only pretending to be gentle and considerate in front of him. This woman had a terrifying sense of possessiveness toward him, to the point that she would do anything to possess him.
He was uncomfortable with Lu Shu’s almost perverted possessiveness, but he did not think of resisting. After all, no matter what the reason was in the beginning, they were now husband and wife, and there was no doubt about it.
Therefore, he had always tolerated her and even kept a distance from the people around him because of this, so as not to agitate the person in front of him, or at least to keep their marriage harmonious and perfect on the surface.
However, he still underestimated Lu Shu’s desire to control him. No matter what the reason was, Lu Shu still crossed the line. She killed someone out of jealousy and crossed Li Yan’s bottom line. It also made Li Yan understand clearly once again the gap between the two of them that was called a concept gap.
