“What if they recognize my brother, too?” Li Jia was trying to hang on for dear life.
The Lu company’s heir was bound to take over the company the Lu owned in the future, and before Lu Yichen left the country two years ago, he was a famous, handsome nobleman with a lot of juicy scandals with women; changing girlfriends frequently, they could form a circle.
She had heard of him even though she didn’t pay much attention to entertainment news, so you could imagine how striking he was.
It was just that he had been laying low for the past two years, and most people thought he hadn’t returned to the country.
“It’s fine, it’s been two years.” Lu Yichen’s dark eyes were bottomless. “It won’t be easy for them to recognize me.”
Li Jia didn’t want to agree, and felt bad, but his eyes were scorching as he stared at her. “Hmmm.”
They went out together. Lu Yichen got into the driver’s seat before Li Jia sat in the back seat with confidence.
The few car rides she’d had with her brother had been too profound for her to be alone in a space with him now.
The roads were again jammed with traffic on the opening day of the major universities.
Lu Yichen looked at Jia jia through the rearview mirror as she leaned against the car window with her elbows propped up and her eyes looking out of the window.
Probably sensing his eyes, she looked up and saw Lu Yichen’s gaze reflected in the rearview mirror, and hastily avoided him.
The car was quiet, Lu Yichen was not in the habit of turning on music or the radio, and the atmosphere was somewhat dreary.
“Does Jia jia still like Qiao Nan?” Lu Yichen’s warm and elegant voice echoed in the car.
Li Jia was dismayed by his question, and subconsciously shook her head. “I have nothing to do with him.”
“You used to be boyfriend and girlfriend.” Lu Yichen’s voice dripped with a chill of gloom.
“How do you know that?” Li Jia frowned, he was investigating her? Or was he investigating Qiao Nan?
“Does Jia jia remember who told you to go to the alley two years ago?” Lu Yichen looked through the rearview mirror and saw Li Jia’s face, pale as snow.
She didn’t say a word, the corners of her lips pursed into straight lines, and her hands were squeezed into fists.
Lu Yichen added another bomb. “Brother found out that those thugs were deliberately arranged by someone to wait for Jia Jia there.”
“What?!!!”
Li Jia jerked to her feet, standing.
BANG!
Her head hit the roof of the car and she covered it, sucking in a cold breath of pain.
“Jia jia!” Lu Yichen was startled, not expecting her to react so badly. “Are you okay?”
“Don’t you move! I’m fine.” Li Jia grimaced and sucked in her breath, her heart in shock.
The car started to move slowly, so she could only suppress the tumbling waves in her heart for now and let Lu Yichen focus on driving first.
She resumed sitting, her fingers creaking.
Someone was deliberately trying to ruin her! Who was it?
Two years ago she was defenceless, molested by five street thugs who wanted to rape her!
If they had succeeded, she dared not imagine the consequences.
Who had hated her so much? Who hated her so much that they would use such a vicious tactic?
She used to keep a low profile, she never showed her face, and she had no grudges with her classmates, so how could she invite revenge?
“Who did it?” Li Jia’s face turned red with anger, but her voice calmed down instead.
“It’s best if Jia Jia doesn’t know.”
Arriving at the destination, Lu Yichen parked the car, removed his seat belt and turned his head to look at Li Jia in the back.
When Li Jia heard his meaningful reply, she bit her lip and did not say anything.
Thinking about it, she didn’t know who she had offended.
She had been in a bad mood for a while, Qiao Nan had left without saying goodbye, she hadn’t answered her phone, and then she had received a note from Qiao Nan inviting her to meet him at the alley.
Qiao Nan…
She shuddered violently, her pupils dilating in disbelief.
Impossible!
How could he have done this?
“Thinking of something, baby?” Lu Yichen opened the backseat at some point, and sat next to her. As she thought about things, he took advantage of it and leaned down to give her a kiss on the cheek. “I’ll help Jia jia punish the bad guys, okay?”
Li Jia looked up, her eyes flushed red. “It’s Qiao Nan’s mum!”
The other party still knew to use QiaoNan to lure her in. The most inexcusable thing was that she had asked Qiao Nan for help. But Qiao Nan had coldly rejected her, and told her to stop pestering him in the future!
Lu Yichen’s dark eyes were brimming with light, his fingertips hooked and tangled in her hair, and he was silent.
