Suddenly she recalled the matter regarding Li Mengyao and looked at Lu Yanzhi. “Li Mengyao dropped by just this afternoon. Isn’t she the one who had posted the pictures?”
Lu Yanzhi ate his food with a stoic expression. “Those posted pictures were not her doing. We haven’t seen anything, but we can surely confirm that the IP address belongs to her house.”
“Then she was just acting today?” Li Mengyao’s acting skills were really good. Even she could not make out if Li Mengyao was telling the truth or not. If it was fake, then who uploaded those photos and what was their aim?
Su Qianxun asked again, “Also, what happened to her face? Did you do it?”
Lu Yanzhi reversed the question. “Do you think that I did it?”
Su Qianxun thought that it might not be him. Lu Yanzhi may look cold and be extremely defensive, but his moral values were solid. Even if he was steely in his bones at the sight of someone he disliked or maybe wanted to give someone a hard time, he would never resort to drugging someone.
He would straightforwardly give the opposing side a swift blow. That was his personality—direct and efficient.
Su Qianxun was curious. Since it was not Lu Yanzhi, who could it be?
She frowned as she entered into deep thought.

At night, Su Qianxun was preparing to help Xiao Bai bathe when a sudden call from Su Qiudao’s wife rang.
Su Qiudao’s wife’s tone seemed frantic as she mentioned that something big happened at home, and such urgency needed Qianxun to hurry back.
After Qianxun left Xiao Bai in Lu Yanzhi’s care, she put on her coat and left.
She drove the car as fast as she could and returned to the Su family. Su Qiudao’s wife stood outside and when she saw Su Qianxun, she rushed towards her. “Qianxun, you’ve finally come.”
Su Qianxun worriedly asked, “Sister-in-law, what happened to Shi Guang and second uncle? You did not clearly state what had happened over the phone either.”
Su Qiudao’s wife sighed. “I don’t know what exactly happened, too. Today, your second brother came home with a terrible expression etched on his face. Then, he called Shi Guang to come back home. The Old Man was not feeling well so the moment they met, they proceeded to the study room. I overheard their conversation from outside and they seem to be arguing with each other. I think it’s because of the project.”
“Sister-in-law, don’t worry. I will go and take a look.”
Su Qianxun comforted her and patted her hand before proceeding upstairs. The soundproof effect of the study room was working well, thus, she could only make out vague shouts from outside the door.
“Second uncle, please believe me. I really didn’t tell anyone, even Lu Yanchen! Moreover, I really didn’t see the reservation price. I only saw the title so how could I tell my cousin the reservation price?” Shi Guang tried to explain.
“If you didn’t tell your cousin then how could your cousin’s company take the project with exactly one hundred thousand dollars more than us? From what I know, your cousin even recently got promoted.” Second Uncle’s voice was filled with anger.
Su Qianxun knocked on the door. There was no reaction from the people inside so she just pushed the door open and entered. “Shi Guang, second brother, what’s happening? Why are both of you arguing?”
Shi Guang immediately walked forwards and gripped Su Qianxun’s hands. She said, “That time when we came home to eat, I went upstairs to tell second Uncle to come downstairs and dine with us. I accidentally saw one of second uncle’s bidding documents, but I never really saw the price at that time. However, second uncle refuses to believe me and thinks that I revealed the reservation price to my cousin.”
Su Qianxun believed Shi Guang unconditionally and looked towards second uncle Su. “Second Brother, could there be any misunderstanding between both of you?”
