501: Time Has Not Told You (1)

Time Has Not Told You (1)

When Shi Guang heard Shen Lingshuang relate about these past memories, she truly felt pained in her heart. At the same time, she was even more convinced that this Su Liping was a two-faced woman.1

Thankfully her mother-in-law did not bring it up back then. Otherwise, she might have fallen into her trap and be left without a husband now.

After chatting a little with Lu Yanchen, Shi Guang went to look for Shen Lingshuang.

As for Lu Yanchen, he seconded the fact as well that even though this wife of his was rather silly, she still had some brains and wasn't that easily tricked by others compared to that naïve and innocent mother of his.

Shi Guang felt that each time Lu Yanchen mentioned that his mother was innocent and naïve, he was actually insinuating that she was stupid. However, he did not dare to be that straightforward, because she was his mother after all.

But in reality, Shi Guang did not think that Shen Lingshuang was stupid—she was just someone who was kind and led a simple life, without having to scheme against others. Moreover, there were 5 men in the Lu Family who would defend her against everything in life… there was no need for her to worry that much, and she just had to lead life happily.

The reason why Shen Lingshuang had gone looking for Shi Guang in such a huff without even remembering to knock the door was because Su Liping had asked Chief Lu out, claiming that she had things to talk to him about.

But, what did she have to say that she couldn't speak of in the house, and had to go out to do so?

Shen Lingshuang felt that something was definitely fishy. However, she did not know what to do about it, and hence she went to look for Shi Guang.

Tugging Shen Lingshuang with her, Shi Guang headed out. "Where were they headed for?"

"That way… But, is it alright for us to follow them like this?" Shen Lingshuang was a little worried. If Chief Lu were to find out that she did not trust him and had tailed them secretly as such, he would definitely get angry.

It was a charming night, with moonlight encompassing the world beautifully accompanied by a gentle breeze. Taking a stroll in the yard with this mood was going to be meaningful.

Shi Guang and Lu Yanchen walked along the parasol trees forward, but they did not catch sight of Chief Lu and Su Liping at all.

On the other hand, they caught sight of the 3rd Young Master Lu, Lu Huainan.

This was a Lu Huainan unlike the one that Shi Guang had usually seen. Compared to his usual cold demeanor, this was a man that was exuding forth with a calm elegance, bringing a smiling intent even through his gaze as he seemingly melded into the moonlight.

Looking at the girl opposite him, his lips were curled into a wistful smile as he listened to her talk silently.

The girl looked to be really young, with cute and petite features. She had a fair complexion and a body that seemed so frail that it could topple over with the winds.

Her sparkling bright eyes were fixated on Lu Huainan, smiling with an impossible sweetness. "It's said in the Annals of Master Yan that oranges that are planted in Huainan City are termed as oranges, while oranges planted in Huaibei City are termed mandarins. Different circumstances lead to different results. I don't want to be a mandarin."

Looking at them, Shen Lingshuang muttered under her breath, "Third's here to visit Ju again."

Sensing that there were others present and hearing a familiar voice, Lu Huainan and the girl both turned around to look at Shen Lingshuang.

"Mother."

"Grandma Lu!"

Bringing Shi Guang to them, Shen Lingshuang did the introductions. "You know Ye Chongjun, right? This is his cousin's daughter, Ye Ju[1]. Ju's body hasn't been in the finest state, and there was a period when Third was staying in the compound as well. Coincidentally, they were neighbors, and ended up being good friends. The time he spends visiting her is even more than in visiting me."

Her tone at the back brought with it a sour tinge of jealousy. Immediately, Ye Ju hugged her like a spoilt child. "I love Grandma Lu the most!"

Shen Lingshuang fondled her head fondly before introducing Shi Guang to her. Immediately, the cute lass smiled sweetly and greeted Shi Guang.

Her short hair were at her cheek's level, and she had a sharp jaw. However, her lips were pale pink, and a single look was enough to tell of her body's weak constitution.

Those dark eyes of her seemed as though they were concealing something that shouldn't belong to a girl of her age.

[1] Ju is the same word for Orange in the raws, hence the reference she made earlier that she did not want to be a mandarin
