Chapter 2189: Lu Meng (1)
But now, everyone else is alive and well, yet Lu Xian is dead. Ruan Jiaojiao really couldn’t imagine the Lu Family’s reaction when they heard the news.
"And, Brother Xi, I remember you said before that because it’s a reversal, many uncontrollable factors would appear. Could what happened to Brother Xian be..." Ruan Jiaojiao couldn’t continue. Anyway, she just felt that all of this was due to her.
Duan Xi remained silent, because what Ruan Jiaojiao said might indeed be a possibility.
But right now, he was more concerned about another presence, Lu Meng.
Lu Xian was dead. When a person dies, there’s nothing left, the human body’s mechanisms also cease all activities. But Lu Xian, despite this, could still walk around with a body that’s already dead. Other than the marks he saw last time, there were almost no other noticeable issues. It was all too strange.
This wasn’t something an ordinary person could do.
Ruan Jiaojiao was now mired in sorrow and forgotten this fact, but he hadn’t.
He suspected that Lu Xian might have made a deal with something.
Lu Xian’s death was a significant blow to Ruan Jiaojiao. Although Duan Xi stayed with her that night, she slept fitfully, and the next day her spirits were clearly not good.
While the Ruanlin Family was comforting Ruan Jiaojiao, Ruan Hao took the opportunity to call him alone to the study.
For the currently unrivaled Ruan Hao in every aspect, Duan Xi still held great respect. Coupled with the uncontrollable factor of Lu Xian, he couldn’t feel at ease and thus didn’t hide Lu Xian’s death.
"What did you say? Lu Xian is dead?" Ruan Hao looked at Duan Xi in shock upon hearing the news.
Duan Xi nodded and briefly recounted what Lu Xian had said last night, finishing with, "Under normal circumstances, when a person dies, the body stops all functions. For Lu Xian to return with this body, he must have made a deal with something."
Duan Xi was absolutely certain on this point, because Lu Xian was just an ordinary human and couldn’t possibly continue using a body that showed no signs of life.
"Check out that Lu Meng, Lu Xian mentioned that his heart is with him," Duan Xi added.
Speaking of this Lu Meng, he was quite strange too. Previously, he simply thought that Lu Meng was purely infatuated with Ruan Jiaojiao and bore no malice towards her. Most importantly, he didn’t see any problem with him, so he didn’t pay much attention.
But now, it seemed that all of Lu Xian’s abnormalities could be traced back to him.
Upon hearing this, Ruan Hao nodded and turned to him, "Make a copy of the information your father showed you before for me."
"Okay." Duan Xi agreed and then turned to call Duan Qianyang. This kind of information shouldn’t be casually shared, but since it concerned the safety of his son and future daughter-in-law, Duan Qianyang acted through the backdoor.
When Duan Xi and Ruan Hao came out of the study, Ruan Jiaojiao was lying in the Ruanlin Family’s arms.
Over the years, there had been an overwhelming number of laundry brands, each with their own scents, but the Ruanlin Family always carried a faint soapy fragrance. Ruan Jiaojiao loved smelling it, especially as a child. Whenever she had nightmares, she would nestle in the Ruanlin Family’s embrace, breathing in that scent to fall asleep, feeling particularly secure.
"Don’t worry, sweetheart, no matter what happens, Grandma is always by your side." The Ruanlin Family gently caressed Ruan Jiaojiao’s head as they spoke.
