Chapter 161 - 158: Origins 2
Su Mo listened to her statement and couldn’t help but think she had guessed correctly, but there was one thing she was puzzled about, "Why did Lu Chen grow up in the Jiang Residence?"
"Power. The family is too large, and my son is too young to withstand it."
"So you accepted Lu Youwei’s suggestion to send your son away and marry him to gain a position? He does have a wife already..." Su Mo furrowed her brows but then thought that everything seemed too logical after all.
"The Lu Family cannot be without a master; this is the best way."
Fang Ya nodded, with tears splashing onto the back of her hand, which pained her heart.
"Haven’t you ever thought that all this might be a calculated plan?" Su Mo found it somewhat amusing. Given Lu Chen’s intelligence, he should have known that there was something fishy about it, and she didn’t believe he would hate someone so innocently and intensely.
Fang Ya’s expression froze. It wasn’t that she hadn’t thought of it; it was just that Lu Youwei had been too kind to her, so much so that she willingly entered his embrace.
Su Mo shook her head with a sigh of pity, standing up and saying, "Why don’t you carefully consider who exactly threw you into the abyss? According to what you said, everyone was shot to pieces, so how come only Lu Youwei returned unharmed?"
Perhaps it wasn’t that she didn’t want to think about it but rather that she was unwilling to face it. Su Mo opened the door and left alone.
As soon as she stepped out, she ran into Lu Jin, who was going upstairs with a whip in his hand. Su Mo acted as if she didn’t see it and politely nodded to him, stepping aside to let him pass by as she went downstairs.
