And he had always disdained using these methods, so he could not locate the antidote for the time being.
This storm lasted until midnight and only ended when the effects of the medicine wore off.
When Ruan Yu came back to her senses and saw Lu Li standing in front of the bed with a cold expression, she was so frightened that she couldn’t even care less about the soreness in her body. She hurriedly threw herself into Lu Li’s arms and complained to him pitifully, “Brother Lu Li, you have to avenge me. It’s all that b*tch Shi Man’s fault!”
She cried pitifully, and the hearts of the Ruan family members ached.
However, what she wanted the most at this moment was Lu Li’s comfort. The others did not seem to be that important to her.
Yet she did not receive a reply from the person in front of her after waiting. She could only let go of her arm weakly and look up, thinking that she would see a pair of gentle and heartbroken eyes. Unexpectedly, she met Lu Li’s gloomy eyes.
Her heart skipped a beat and she shrank her neck guiltily. “Brother Lu Li, what… what’s wrong?”
Lu Li took advantage of her relaxed arm and took a step back quietly. He moved his body away from her arm and said coldly, “Why do you say that?”
“You don’t believe me?” Tears quickly gathered in Ruan Yu’s eyes. Her red eyes were like those of a bullied rabbit, making her look pitiful.
“Brother Lu Li, I know that Shi Man is your grandfather’s intended student, so if there’s no conclusive evidence, I definitely won’t slander her. She was really responsible for what happened today. I swear to God!”
Ruan Yu raised her fingers to her ear, looking especially pious.
Mother Ruan’s heart ached terribly. She hurriedly hugged her daughter and asked carefully, “Xiao Yu, what exactly happened? Tell me properly. I will definitely avenge you!”
When she said this, she subconsciously glanced in Lu Li’s direction, but a moment later, she became confident.
She was his future mother-in-law. Would he dare to fall out with her for an outsider?
Ruan Yu cried and burped, looking even more pitiful. “Mom, Sister Chu Yue and I went to the washroom together. Unexpectedly, we smelled a strange smell as soon as we entered. Right on the heels of that, Shi Man and the other two walked out and even humiliated the two of us. Sister Chu Yue wanted to fight them, but at this moment, our medicine suddenly took effect!”
As she spoke, she covered her face and cried again. She asked Mrs. Ruan to comfort her before saying intermittently, “Then, the two of us became like that just now. Shi Man even took the opportunity to force me to kneel down to her. Mom, I’ve never suffered such grievances in my life!”
After Ruan Yu added fuel to the fire, Mr. and Mrs. Ruan were furious.
Mr. Ruan turned around and pointed at his nose, ignoring the fact that Lu Li was Chief Lu’s grandson. “Xiao Li, you grew up with my daughter. She suffered so much today. Are you still going to protect that outsider?”
Mrs. Ruan hugged Ruan Yu unhappily and turned to complain to him. “Xiao Li, you and Xiao Yu are about to get engaged. If you don’t stand up for her at this time, what will the people outside say about Xiao Yu?”
If Lu Li did not stand on their side, their daughter would definitely be mocked by those batches outside!
They had doted on Ruan Yu since she was young. They could not even bear to touch her, let alone allow her to be be forced to kneel by outsiders.
Even if they had to fight to the death, they would definitely not let Shi Man have an easy time!
Unexpectedly, Lu Li stood silently at the side. It was not until Ruan Yu’s father urged him again that he replied in a lukewarm voice, “Uncle, Auntie, this is just her side of the story. You can’t come to a conclusion without understanding everything.”
“Are you determined to protect that woman?” Mrs. Ruan stood up angrily, her entire body trembling uncontrollably. “Alright, very good. Lu Li, if you want to help others, then don’t even think about your marriage with Ruan Yu! I definitely won’t let Xiao Yu marry a man like you!”
Mrs. Ruan was really thinking for her daughter.
However, when Ruan Yu heard that her mother did not agree to her marriage with Lu Li, her eyes turned red. She hurriedly reached out to pull her mother. Unfortunately, her body, which had just recovered, was still sore. She did not sit properly for a moment and fell from the bed to the ground.
Mrs. Ruan hurriedly carried her daughter up. She was weak, so it was a little difficult for her to help Ruan Yu up. Fortunately, Mr. Ruan was still around. The couple carried Ruan Yu back to the bed and carefully covered her with the blanket. Only then did they look at Lu Li angrily.
Mr. Ruan couldn’t help but reach out and criticize, “Didn’t you see Xiao Yu fall off the bed just now? How could you just stand at the side and watch?”
At this moment, Ruan Yu was already in tears. Her voice was as weak as a mosquito. “Dad, don’t blame Brother Lu Li. He’s just doing this for Grandpa Lu. He doesn’t really want to side with outsiders.”
With that, she looked at Lu Li hopefully, trying to exchange her tears for his soft heart.. “Brother Lu Li, you feel troubled because of Grandpa, not because of Shi Man, right?”
