Lu Sheng coughed lightly and asked, “Since the lord still has some matters to attend to, I shall not stay any longer. Can I take these away?”
She was having a scrumptious meal here but her siblings were having plain porridge. She felt bad.
“Chu Yun, go downstairs and get the kitchen to prepare another portion for the takeout.”
“Lord, you don’t have to spend more. These are enough!”
She had not touched any of the dishes yet. What a waste it would be if they were just thrown away.
Chu Yun glanced at Chu Sihan. When he saw Chu Sihan nod his head, he said, “Miss Lu, please take a seat. I’ll go downstairs and get the takeout boxes from the counter.”
“Thank you!”
Seeing that she finally smiled, Chu Sihan heaved a sigh of relief.
“Was Chu Silin the one who tried to kill you at the mountain back then?”
Lu Sheng pretended to ask casually.
Chu Sihan looked at her in surprise. “You know Chu Silin?”
“Didn’t Chu Yun say his name just now?”
After saying this, Lu Sheng’s expression suddenly changed.
After a while, she covered her face and stopped speaking.
Sigh. She had accidentally betrayed herself.
Chu Sihan raised his eyebrow. It was rare for him to say with ridicule, “Miss Lu is really good at hearing.”
“So it’s my fault?” She snorted coldly.
Chu Sihan smiled lightly and shook his head. “It’s not your fault.”
He just did not expect her to have such good hearing besides knowing the Skill of Puppetry and being good at qinggong.
If he was sitting opposite instead, it would be hard for him to hear Chu Yun’s speech.
He was really curious. What other shocking specialities did this lady possess?
“Since your name is so similar to his, are the two of you biological brothers?” Lu Sheng asked curiously.
“He’s my cousin.”
“Cousin?”
Lu Sheng frowned. “Then why did he kill you?”
Chu Sihan smiled lightly. His gaze became slightly fixated and he said in a slightly cold voice, “Because I hold a high position and my father is the person-in-charge of the Chu family. We are in his way.”
When Lu Sheng heard that, she could not help but complain. “You rich people do have a lot of messy affairs.”
They either schemed against each other or fought till their deaths. It was really meaningless.
Chu Sihan smiled and nodded in agreement. “I think so too.”
However, there was no choice. Who asked him to be born in the Chu family?
The Chu family was still alright. There was only the clown, Chu Silin.
His mother’s family was in a mess. The situation there was much worse than the Chu family’s.
Chu Yun brought two takeout boxes up, and Chu Sihan thoughtfully helped to place the untouched dishes into the boxes.
“I’ll leave the day after tomorrow. I wonder when we’ll meet again.”
After placing the food in the boxes well, he looked up at Lu Sheng and said, “As for hiding my identity from Miss Lu, I really had no choice. I was also afraid that Miss Lu would have other thoughts after knowing my identity, so I had no choice but to hide it. Please forgive me!”
After all, they were not close back then.
“What thoughts could I have?” Lu Sheng smiled lightly and placed the last dish into the last box. She smiled and said, “If I had known your identity earlier, I would not have been so unbridled and unreasonable.”
“Sorry!”
He said sincerely.
Lu Sheng shook her head. She pursed her lips and smiled. “Then, I’ll see you next time. Have a safe trip, Lord!”
As the saying goes, gifts blind the eyes. Furthermore, she ate and took away food.
Blaming him would only make her more unreasonable.
Chu Sihan sent her downstairs. He wanted to send her back to the village personally, but she rejected him.
When she thought of the rumors in the village, Lu Sheng felt helpless.
If she allowed him to send her off again, she would have no choice but to ask him to take responsibility for the rest of her life.
However, he was from a wealthy family and was an official. How would he be interested in her, who came from a small family?
Lu Sheng laughed at herself. She waved the food boxes at him and left without turning back.
