Chapter 983 Be honest
"This is too dangerous." Yan Shan frowned.
No wonder Grandma Shen asked them to keep it a secret.
The old lady didn't even plan to have much contact with them after tonight.
If he were a person, he wouldn't be afraid of death.
But now that he has a wife and daughter, he doesn't dare to take the risk.
He was destined not to be of much help to Shen Lu.
Yan Shan felt somewhat guilty: "Didn't you call the police?"
After asking the question, he felt that he had asked something unnecessary.
How could such a serious case not have been reported to the police?
They just hadn't heard about it, which shows that Shen Lu's kidnapping was handled discreetly.
It's unclear whether this was a request from the family or if there were other plans from higher-ups.
"It's very dangerous, so I'm actually hesitant about whether I should have dinner with you guys tonight."
Grandma Shen could understand Yan Shan's concerns.
"However, Lulu is now a sitting duck. With her drawing the enemy's attention, you, a friend of many years, shouldn't be targeted by anyone."
Although it was a bit harsh, Yan Shan had to admit that what the old lady said was true.
Compared to Shen Lu, her biological daughter, what value does an old friend she hasn't contacted for many years have?
Are you related by blood?
"Auntie, I understand. I will be careful. However, Rui Rui can still associate with Lu Lu."
"They're young, so it's easy for them to make friends."
Madam Yan glanced at her husband.
Although she also liked Shen Lu very much, and agreed with her husband taking care of his former friend's daughter.
However, Madam Yan would not agree to this if it involved her own daughter.
Shen Lu could not possibly have missed Madam Yan's gaze, but she had no intention of involving the Yan family.
The Yan family is good, so let them continue to live a peaceful life.
Her bloodshed has nothing to do with anyone else, so why should she get involved?
"There's no need for me to have much contact with Sister Yan Rui. Just being normal is fine, like how we met at the food court."
"Oh, no, we met last night."
Yan Rui clapped her hands: "That's right, and the reason I know Lu Lu is because I've taken a liking to her man!"
Shen Lu glanced at her silently: You can't just say things like that.
Everyone at the table was looking at Yan Rui.
Yan Rui realized too late that she had blurted out the truth.
"Well, didn't we not know that President Lu had a fiancée back then?"
Yan Shan said sternly, "Yan Rui, you'd better tell the truth!"
Facing her stern father, Yan Rui explained with an embarrassed smile, "Isn't it because I don't want to be with that Chen Yan?"
"I just want to find someone I like."
"President Lu is an outsider; not only is he outstanding, but he's also not subject to Chen's control..."
Yes, it's my father's boss.
Therefore, President Lu meets all the requirements and is a good person to be taken advantage of.
If we can really use Lu Xingye to get rid of Chen Yan, that would be perfect.
But plans can't keep up with changes; Lu Xingye was already taken.
Now that he's his brother-in-law, the plan has naturally been shelved.
Madam Yan gave her daughter a reproachful look and apologized on behalf of her daughter and Shen Lu: "Lu Lu, don't be angry with your sister. She's just too unreliable."
“Auntie, as you can see, Rui Rui is actually much more mischievous than Lu Lu, and she doesn’t think before she acts.”
"Unlike Lulu, I really admire you for your ability to raise children."
Praising someone is always a good idea; it avoids awkwardness and can quickly cover up Yan Rui's mistake.
Madam Yan also scolded her daughter for speaking too quickly, saying, "It's fine if you have this thought in your heart, but don't shout it out in public."
What a silly girl! Won't people feel uncomfortable hearing that?
This Mr. Lu looks exceptionally outstanding. The Shen family must be very satisfied to have such a son-in-law.
You've already taken a liking to someone since you opened your mouth?
Yan Rui, however, was remarkably candid at this moment: "Oh, Mom, I didn't think too much about it, and besides, I no longer have any improper thoughts about President Lu, do I?"
"Although I'm not bad looking, how can I possibly win against Little Deer?"
"Little Deer was the top scorer in last year's college entrance examination!"
Madam Yan: "...You're quite self-aware!"
Yan Rui chuckled: "Besides, I liked Little Deer Sister the first time I met her, and I always felt that she should be my sister."
"I never imagined that our two families had such a connection."
Yan Rui's words were very pleasing.
No one cared that she had taken a liking to Lu Xingye.
Yan Shan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his daughter being so honest.
He was genuinely worried that his daughter might fall for Shen Shuqiu's daughter's fiancé.
This relationship is far too complicated.
Fortunately, his daughter was self-aware and knew she couldn't win, so she decisively gave up.
"Little Deer Sister, you don't mind if I briefly coveted your fiancé, do you?"
Shen Lu smiled and said, "You should ask Lu Xingye if he minds. There are too many people who covet him."
"However, Sister Yan Rui said she wanted to use him to get rid of Chen Yan. Is this Chen Yan your boyfriend?"
There's so much to say about Chen Yan.
"He's just an unlikable blind date." Meeting her father's gaze, Yan Rui's desire to complain faded.
That's true. Chen Yan is a relative of Deputy Secretary Chen, so telling Xiao Lu and the others wouldn't have made any difference.
Could it be that Little Deer Sister would lend Lu Xingye to her?
This Mr. Lu doesn't seem like he'd agree.
The meal ended quite late, and Shen Lu didn't plan to ask Yan Rui out afterwards, because she was worried about causing any unforeseen complications.
After all, she is still in danger.
The fact that those who are watching her haven't made a move yet doesn't mean they won't later.
After all, the platform had posted bounties, and Shen Lu was the boss they were supposed to be farming for.
There are many benefits to killing her.
Now, be careful when driving home.
Fortunately, there are only so many people in Youranju, so it's not easy for them to be targeted. Shen Lu and the old lady are relatively safe living here.
They returned to Shenjia Village a day later than planned.
Everything in the village was arranged. This full moon celebration was not actually for the child to be one month old, but for two months.
It's summer, and although the village is cooler than the city, it's not much cooler.
Therefore, the village did not plan to hold a grand celebration for the full moon.
Even the dishes on the table were reduced.
In particular, the portion sizes of each dish have been reduced by one-third compared to other seasons.
Moreover, most of the dishes are cold.
However, during this season, mushrooms will appear on the mountain after it rains.
Therefore, wild mushrooms will also be served at tomorrow's banquet, which Shen Lu is very much looking forward to.
Yan Rui was quite envious when she heard that they were going back to their hometown for a feast.
Upon hearing that there were wild mushrooms, they became even more eager to visit Shenjia Village for inspiration.
Unfortunately, even by highway, it takes at least three hours to get to Shenjia Village, making it unsuitable for working professionals.
If it were closer to the city, I could drive directly to the village on a Friday or Saturday.
Find a place to stay on Friday night, and you can set off early in the morning to pick mushrooms in the mountains.
Shenjia Village clearly does not have such conditions, and the villagers are not very welcoming to tourists.
