Chapter 41: Ripping Apart the White Lotus

That night, Lu Beixun played chess with Cen Father until midnight. As soon as midnight struck, the police stormed in. Cen Xiu realized something was wrong, but it was too late. He was already under police control, his hands cuffed.

Cen Mother choked back tears, her body going limp. Cen Luo supported her, looking confused, completely unaware of what was happening.

Later, thinking about what Cen Wan had told her, she had a faint suspicion.

Cen Wan looked at Cen Father and Cen Mother with worry. Cen Father’s eyes were red. He nodded at her. Cen Wan handed the evidence to the police.

Cen Xiu struggled for a few moments, looking at Cen Father and Cen Mother: “Dad, Mom, what’s going on?”

Cen Wan walked in front of Cen Xiu. The coldness in her eyes couldn’t hide her hatred: “Stop pretending. Uncle Jing, Jiang Yu, you killed them both.”

Jing Ran was about the same age as her father, a kind and amiable uncle. He had visited their home a few times, and each time he brought gifts for Cen Luo and her.

“You’re insane.” Cen Wan coldly spat out those words, then didn’t look at him again. She walked to Lu Beixun’s side.

Cen Wan had made it so clear. Cen Xiu was a smart man, and he knew that everything he had done had been exposed.

At this time, Cen Father walked in front of him, his eyes red. He reached out and patted his shoulder: “Son, be a good person in your next life.”

He had already known about Cen Xiu’s actions a few days ago. He had been investigating.

A tear rolled down Cen Father’s cheek. He turned around and discreetly wiped it away. Cen Xiu froze, staring at Cen Father.

At this moment, Cen Wan could see a hint of regret in his expression. But what good was regret now? If he had known this would happen, why did he do it in the first place? She had no sympathy for Cen Xiu. It was all his own doing, he deserved it.

Cen Xiu’s voice trembled: “Dad, Mom, I’m sorry. Thank you.”

Cen Father nodded, closed his eyes, and waved his hand at the police. Cen Xiu was taken away by the police.

Cen Wan felt that Cen Xiu’s last words were truly ironic. If he hadn’t been arrested by the police today, he wouldn’t have spared the Cen family on that day next year.

He only thought of regret at the last moment.

Cen Father walked in front of Cen Mother and put his arm around her, wiping away the tears on her cheek. Cen Wan felt uncomfortable. She walked in front of Cen Father and Cen Mother: “Dad, Mom, don’t be too sad.”

This kind of person really didn’t deserve anyone to be sad for him.

Cen Wan didn’t know how to comfort Cen Father and Cen Mother. When she learned about Cen Xiu’s actions in the previous life, she was no less sad than Cen Father and Cen Mother. She knew that feeling.

If Cen Father and Cen Mother knew that Cen Xiu would one day set fire to their home, they would be even sadder than they are now.

They probably needed some quiet time. Cen Wan looked at Cen Luo: “Luo Luo, go back to your room first.”

Cen Luo looked at Cen Mother with worry, then turned and left. Lu Beixun stepped forward: “Wan Wan, let your parents have some peace.”

Cen Wan nodded, sent Cen Father and Cen Mother back to their room, and finally took a deep look before closing the bedroom door.

Cen Wan was worried about her parents, and it was very late, so she stayed.

Cen Wan didn’t sleep a wink all night. Lu Beixun stayed with her. Revenge had been taken, but she couldn’t be happy seeing her parents like that.

She still owed Lu Beixun a life. She held Lu Beixun’s hand, hesitated for a long time, and finally swallowed her words. She quietly nestled in his arms.

The next day, when Cen Wan went downstairs after washing up, Cen Mother had already prepared breakfast. Cen Mother always cooked herself, rarely letting the servants into the kitchen.

Seeing Cen Wan and Lu Beixun, Cen Mother smiled and urged: “Go wash your hands and eat breakfast.”

Cen Wan saw that Cen Mother was no different from usual, but she knew that she was sad. Her forced smile was just to avoid worrying her husband and daughters.

Cen Wan responded: “Okay, I’ll go call Luo Luo.”

After breakfast, Cen Father said that they were fine and insisted that Cen Wan and Lu Beixun go back.

Although Cen Wan was reluctant, she had to listen to Cen Father.

Time flew by in a blink of an eye. Half a month passed. Cen Xiu was executed. Such a big thing happened to the Cen family. Lu Father and Lu Mother often called to express their condolences. Lu Beixun accompanied Cen Wan home whenever he had time.

Cen Father and Cen Mother gradually recovered from this incident. They would still feel sad when they mentioned it, so they took the initiative not to bring it up.

Cen Luo also learned the truth. She was completely incredulous. She never imagined that Cen Xiu would do such a thing.

One day, Cen Wan was working on her report when Chang Ning walked over and said in a voice that only they could hear, “I just saw a woman go into your husband’s office.”

“Who?”

Chang Ning said, “I don’t know her. She’s not from our company. She’s super beautiful.”

The first person that came to Cen Wan’s mind was Shen Jianyu. She took her hand off the mouse, her eyes narrowed: “Did she bring any documents to the office?”

Chang Ning thought for a moment: “There was one.”

She handed the document to Cen Wan. Cen Wan took the document and stood up from her seat. Chang Ning asked, “Where are you going?”

“To rip apart the white lotus.”

Chang Ning clenched her fists and said to her, “Go for it, you’ll win.”

Cen Wan raised her head and chest, walked towards the office in her high heels. Her aura was definitely not going to lose. Chang Ning stared at her, her aura was top-notch.

She had to put on a show at the company. Cen Wan knocked on the door. When she heard someone answer from inside, she pushed the door open.

She walked in with the document. Lu Beixun looked at her. The darkness in his eyes held a hint of amusement.

Cen Wan scanned the woman sitting on the sofa. A woman’s sixth sense was so accurate. It was indeed Shen Jianyu. She stared at her for a few seconds.

Shen Jianyu looked up at her, then continued playing with her phone, completely ignoring her, the original wife. Cen Wan was so angry that she was about to vomit blood.

Lu Beixun’s gaze remained on Cen Wan. He chuckled softly at her angry look.

Hearing Lu Beixun’s chuckle, Cen Wan glared at him angrily.

Lu Beixun said faintly: “Shen Jianyu, stop teasing her.”

Shen Jianyu shrugged innocently: “I’m so wronged. I didn’t say a word.”

Cen Wan snorted coldly: “White lotus, don’t try to seduce my husband.”

Shen Jianyu stopped teasing her: “The white lotus’s target isn’t your husband.”

Cen Wan blinked and looked at her. Shen Jianyu pointed at the desserts on the table: “Want some?”

“No!”

“Then I’ll eat it myself.” Shen Jianyu had bought two, one of which was for Cen Wan. She opened one and ate it by herself.

Seeing her eat so deliciously, Cen Wan was a little hungry. She swallowed her saliva and looked at Lu Beixun.

Lu Beixun walked in front of her, rubbed her head, and led her over. He pushed the dessert in front of her: “Eat.”

Cen Wan stubbornly said: “For the sake of my husband giving it to me, I’ll reluctantly give you some face.”

Shen Jianyu looked at her: “Then thank you.”

Cen Wan was halfway through her dessert when Shen Jianyu opened her QR code and put her phone in front of her: “Add me as a friend.”

Cen Wan looked at it: “Why?”

“Afraid to add me?”

Cen Wan was very susceptible to Shen Jianyu’s provocation: “Add you, who’s afraid of you?”

She took out her phone, scanned her QR code, and clicked add.
