Zhou Yun wore a long skirt, a large coat, a hat on the coat, and a mask, covering almost her whole body tightly.

If those eyes hadn't been staring at Lu Wansu, Lu Wansu would have almost thought that this person had gone to the wrong place.

"you……"

On Saturday night, when he was about to ask her why she was dressed like this, Zhou Yun suddenly lifted her hat and took off her mask...

A scarred face, exposed to the air.

Lu Wansu frowned, and Lan Jiangyue's scarred face suddenly flashed in his mind. Although Zhou Yun's injury was not as serious as Lan Jiangyue's, it was not too light. The eyes and corners of the mouth were swollen, bruises were everywhere, and the skin was broken in some places.

She thought of Liang Tao almost immediately.

Based on her understanding of Liang Tao, it's not unusual for him to do such a thing, but...

The way Lu Wansu looked at Zhou Yun was somewhat meaningful.

Zhou Yun met her gaze and quickly dodged it. The next second, she knelt down to Lu Wansu without hesitation.

"Miss Lu, I'm sorry for you!" Zhou Yun's voice was choked with sobs, as if she was hiding a lot of grievances.

Lu Wansu's hand paused as he tried to hold her up, and finally he just said in a calm tone: "Get up and talk."

Zhou Yun shook her head vigorously, deliberately raised her scarred face in front of Lu Wansu, and cried, "I didn't keep my promise and told Liang Tao about it. I'm sorry..."

She choked up and suddenly stretched out her hand to grab Lu Wansu's skirt. She suddenly became excited, and even her voice was trembling: "I know it's my fault. You can hit me or scold me, but I really have no choice, if I don’t say anything, Liang will always kill me!”

Lu Wansu studied her expression carefully. The fear in her eyes was not fake, but Lu Wansu was dubious about her words.

"You get up first." Lu Wansu's voice was deep, with an air of disdain.

Zhou Yun paused for a second, slowly let go of her skirt, and stood up from the ground.

Lu Wansu pointed to the seat opposite: "Sit down."

Zhou Yun bit her lip and sat down uneasily. Out of the corner of his eye, he was looking at Lu Wansu's expression.

She didn't know whether Lu Wansu believed what she just said...

Lu Wansu saw Zhou Yun's nervousness and became more suspicious. If it was really like what Zhou Yun said, why was she nervous?

unless……

Lu Wansu picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea and handed it over.

The moment Zhou Yun took it, she said quietly: "Thank you."

The corner of Lu Wansu's mouth curled up, and his tone was unclear: "You seem to be nervous?"

Zhou Yun's hand holding the tea cup shook, and the hot tea fell on the back of her hand, causing a red mark instantly. Zhou Yun shivered obviously because of the heat. She quickly put down the tea cup and touched her red hands.

With such a guilty conscience, it was difficult for Lu Wansu not to doubt the authenticity of Zhou Yun's words just now.

Zhou Yun saw Lu Wansu staring at her, her eyes averted for a moment, then she reached out and grabbed Lu Wansu's hand on the table. When she raised her head again, her eyes were full of innocence and pity.

"I know I use money to do things and I shouldn't betray you, but Miss Lu, you also know that I don't have any background in Jiang City. It would be easier for Mr. Liang to kill me than to crush an ant. But you are different. You Not only is she the eldest lady of the Lu family, she is also Mr. Fu’s wife. Even if Mr. Liang really knew about this, he would not dare to do anything to you."

As she spoke, tears burst out instantly. Zhou Yun took back her hand and rolled up her sleeves.

Lu Wansu saw the scar on her arm at a glance, and knew who it was from without even thinking about it. What Zhou Yun told her was nothing more than to gain sympathy and moral kidnapping so that she would not pursue the matter.

"Why did Liang Tao come to you?"

Seeing Lu Wansu's calm tone, Zhou Yun felt a little panicked for no reason. She calmed down her emotions, as if she had practiced at home, and replied: "I wanted to return the money to him and leave Hengle, but he doubted the origin of the money, so he ambushed me where I lived. place and dragged me into the house.”

"Then he started to beat me, question me, and humiliate me. I couldn't bear to tell him, but he threatened me and said that if I didn't tell him, he would kill me. I was so scared that I Only tell him if you have no other choice..."

Lu Wansu squinted his eyes, and his light-colored pupils reflected a cold light, as if it could penetrate people's hearts. Zhou Yun was on pins and needles when she saw him, and her voice behind him became weaker.

"Then how did Lan Jiangyue know about this?"

Lan Jiangyue? Zhou Yun was stunned for a moment, and began to suspect that the problem was not with Liang Tao, but with Lan Jiangyue...

She quickly considered in her mind whether to lie or not and blamed Liang Tao. But thinking of the scars on Lan Jiangyue's body, she still chose to tell the truth.

"She followed Liang Tao and heard the conversation between me and Liang Tao, and then..." Zhou Yun looked guilty and slowly lowered her head.

In her heart, she hoped that Lu Wansu would believe her words. Only in this way could she completely remove herself from this matter.

Then she can go to Mu Xingye, and Shengshiji will come forward to talk to Liang Tao about terminating the contract. She believes that Liang Tao will betray Shengshiji's face and let her go. By that time, she would be able to get rid of Liang Tao completely and start a new life.

Lu Wansu looked at her quietly and asked, "Then why didn't you tell me about this as soon as possible?"

Zhou Yun was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said: "Because I was seriously injured at the time... and then... and then I was very scared, so I just... forgot to tell you about it."

Zhou Yun said this intermittently, her eyes always staring at the table, not daring to look directly into Lu Wansu's eyes.

It wasn't until she finished speaking that she looked up into Lu Wansu's eyes and whispered: "I didn't mean it. I was really too scared, so I forgot..."

Lu Wansu crossed his arms and sat on the bamboo chair, his eyes a little cold: "Zhou Yun, I want to hear the truth."

Zhou Yun's face changed slightly and her whole body shook unnaturally. She forcefully forced out an ugly smile and pretended to be calm: "This is the truth."

"Do you think I will believe it?"

Zhou Yun bit her lip and remained silent. She didn't understand why Lu Wansu refused to believe what she said.

Lu Wansu didn't say anything, just stared at her coldly.

This high sense of oppression only lasted for less than half a minute before Zhou Yun couldn't help it anymore. As if she had made up her mind, she took a deep breath and looked up at Lu Wansu.

"You don't believe me, or are you unwilling to let me go?" Zhou Yun looked at Lu Wansu with a somewhat complaining expression: "To you, this is simply a trivial matter not worth mentioning, why do you have to force me? Does it mean that in the eyes of a rich man like you, my life is not life?"
