Chapter 1281 - You Think Something’s Going to Happen to Lu Jinbei?

It was so that he would strive to live a long life for the sake of his grandchild!

Cai Jingyao was a clever person, so she didn’t say anything false. It was just that she didn’t reveal the whole story, merely extracting those bits that led one’s thoughts to run wild and piecing them together. Even if she were exposed later, one couldn’t refute her claims.

Unable to tell if Lu Jinnan felt jealousy under his calm appearance, Cai Jingyao continued to stir things up…

“We all know about Bai Xiaonian’s background. She’s actually a girl who lacks love deep inside. I was really scared Xiaonian would be hurt after she gave herself to Lu Jinbei. But she wouldn’t heed my words. Lin Nuan and Song Yao weren’t of help either. Especially Song Yao… she said she wanted to give herself to Su Huan long ago, but Su Huan had insisted on doing it on the night of their marriage. She envied Bai Xiaonian very much! I even quarreled with Song Yao over this matter! I begged Lin Nuan to help me talk Bai Xiaonian out of it, but Lin Nuan said that Bai Xiaonian was a grown adult, and, as friends, we shouldn’t interfere in the way our friends live. Instead, we should give her our unconditional support!”

Cai Jingyao sounded terribly aggrieved at this point.

“I’m the only one who knew what Lu Jinbei was like. Brother Jinnan, can you understand how I felt at the time? No one believed that Lu Jinbei would cheat with other girls behind Bai Xiaonian’s back. Seeing as Bai Xiaonian was about to give herself to Lu Jinbei, I… I could only seek evidence myself. That night, I called Xiaonian to get her to come to the hotel, but she came too late. When she arrived, Lu Jinbei had already raped me!”

Cai Jingyao then whipped out her phone from her pocket and placed it on the countertop…

“Back then, I installed a spy cam in my bag in order to let Bai Xiaonian believe Lu Jinbei was unfaithful to her. There’s a video of the things Lu Jinbei did to me before Bai Xiaonian and the others came. Brother Jinnan… you can take a look at it yourself!

“You can see if I shamelessly pestered my good friend’s boyfriend or whether it was your brother Lu Jinbei who asked me to go to the hotel. I put up a fierce struggle and told him my plans to expose his true self in front of Bai Xiaonian, but Lu Jinbei didn’t let me off!”

“I was the victim in that incident back then… yet I was forced to leave the school, and Bai Xiaonian refused to listen to my explanation!” Cai Jingyao’s eyes reddened. “Now, I just want Xiaonian to know what really happened back then so that she will stop misunderstanding me!”

“So… you got together with my younger brother in order to make use of him?” Lu Jinnan looked over coldly at Cai Jingyao, making a chill run down her back.

Cai Jingyao’s throat got stuck. She perhaps hadn’t expected Lu Jinnan to say something like this…

“No…” Cai Jingyao subconsciously denied it.

“You’re getting married to a man who raped you and pleasing my father just so you can explain things to my wife? Doesn’t that sound forced to you? Including what happened in the past, in order to prevent my wife from getting upset, you forced her boyfriend. Don’t tell me the pain of the double betrayal by her boyfriend and her friend wasn’t greater than the pain of being cheated on by her boyfriend with a random girl.” Lu Jinnan had a maybe-smiling-maybe-not expression on his face. “Miss Cai, can you please use your brain when fabricating this pitiful sob story? Else, it will seem so laughable that it’s like watching a clown perform!”

“My getting married to Lu Jinbei… He was the one who proposed it. I was merely playing along!” Cai Jingyao pushed the phone she placed on the countertop. “Brother Jinnan… look at the video, and you’ll understand!”

“Excuse me!” Lu Jinnan reached out to grab a condiment, but Cai Jingyao was standing in his way.

Cai Jingyao retreated a step. Lu Jinnan picked up the condiment and scattered a little into the wok. When he placed the condiment back, he accidentally knocked into Cai Jingyao’s phone, causing it to drop into the basin full of water…

Cai Jingyao widened her eyes.

“Ah, apologies… I’ll compensate you later!” Lu Jinnan apologized without a hint of sincerity. It was obvious that he did it on purpose.

Cai Jingyao was such a clever woman, so how could she not tell that Lu Jinnan did so deliberately?

She said to Lu Jinnan with a frown, “Brother Jinnan… I have backup copies of this video. I’m not planning to use this video to do anything. If I really wanted to, Lu Jinbei would be in jail now! I merely want you to know the truth behind what happened back then!”

“What the truth is…” Lu Jinnan spoke calmly. “What has that got to do with me? Are you counting on me to repair the relationship between you and Bai Xiaonian? Do I look that free to you?”

Cai Jingyao bit her lower lip. “Brother Jinnan, you’re planning to shield your younger brother, so you don’t care about the damage to my reputation?”

“We’re not familiar with each other, Miss Cai. There’s no need for me to do anything for you…” Lu Jinnan turned and looked at Cai Jingyao. “I’m known for being protective of my loved ones, especially towards my younger brother.”

“You’re not afraid that I’ll blow up the matter with the video and send Lu Jinbei to prison?” Cai Jingyao said with reddened eyes, looking as if she was being forced to the edge.

Lu Jinnan set down the spatula and looked at Cai Jingyao as if she was a piece of garbage as he spoke. “Back then, I murdered someone. Am I not standing here unscathed now? What are you suing Lu Jinbei for… Rape? You think something’s going to happen to Lu Jinbei?”

Cai Jingyao didn’t utter a word, looking like she had suffered a huge grievance as tears slipped down her cheeks relentlessly.

“Word of advice, leave the Lu family now, and never appear before us again. The Lu family isn’t as easy to trifle with as you imagined. Careful, or you’ll die without knowing the cause, understand?”

Based on Lu Jinnan’s understanding of his own brother, Lu Jinbei probably chose to turn back and marry this Cai Jingyao woman because he saw the video and hence wanted to shoulder the responsibility.

If Cai Jingyao dared to show him the video, that meant the video was real…

But Lu Jinnan would rather die than believe Lu Jinbei would take the initiative to rape Cai Jingyao!

Lu Jinnan had played with those filthy methods humans used against each other more than Cai Jingyao. He knew more about those despicable means than her!

Even if Lu Jinbei appeared to be raping her in the video, who could guarantee it wasn’t under the influence of drugs?

Especially since the matter happened so many years ago…

Back then, if Cai Jingyao had dared to show this video, Lu Jinbei would simply have had to undergo a blood test to find out if he was drugged. But since so many years had passed, who could guarantee that Lu Jinbei wasn’t drugged back then!

If Lu Jinnan couldn’t even see through such lowly methods, he would have lived in vain.

Moreover, although Lu Jinnan’s biased opinion of women had become less severe after Bai Xiaonian entered his life, it didn’t mean that Lu Jinnan would treat women other than Bai Xiaonian with gentleness.

Cai Jingyao clenched her teeth and walked towards the bathroom with reddened eyes.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Lu Jinbei, who was talking with his father, asked when he saw Cai Jingyao leave the kitchen with reddened eyes, removing the lollipop from his mouth.

“I’m fine. The onions stung my eyes!” Cai Jingyao smiled stiffly, then went to the bathroom.

After closing the door, Cai Jingyao washed her hands and looked up… but the aggrieved expression had vanished from her face.
