丝袜人妻影音先锋中文字幕

Lu Miao felt speechless. She seriously started to suspect that she had become a character with a knack for running into familiar faces wherever she went, just like Conan who encountered death wherever he went.

It seemed that from now on, she needed to consult a fortune teller before leaving the house to avoid encountering people she shouldn’t.

She turned her head to the other side and increased her pace, intending to walk straight past them.

However, Gu Jinxi had sharp eyes and immediately spotted her. He ran up to her with excitement. “Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?”

Lu Miao rubbed her forehead and casually replied, “I was bored at home on the weekend, so I came out for a stroll.”

“Oh.” Gu Jinxi nodded. It wasn’t strange for someone to visit the City God Temple, the only tourist attraction in the center of Luo City.

Noticing the bag in her hand, he curiously leaned down. “What are you doing with these yellow papers?

“It’s nothing. I donated some money to the temple and the Taoist priest gave me these papers as a random gesture. I happened to need some rough draft paper at home, so I took them back.”

Lu Miao switched the bag to her other hand to prevent him from seeing what was inside. “You can take your time with your prayers. I still have several exam papers to grade, so I’ll head back first.”

With that, she walked straight towards the exit, completely ignoring the person beside Gu Jinxi.

“Hold on.”

Grandma Gu’s expression turned complex, and she finally spoke up.

Gu Jinxi quickly took a step forward, positioning himself in front of Lu Miao. With a vigilant look, he stared at the old lady. “Grandma, what do you want from Sister-in-law?”

After the incident at the Gu family’s house, he knew that his grandmother didn’t like Lu Miao.

But as long as he was there, he would never allow his grandmother to harm Lu Miao.

The old lady, rare for her, didn’t argue about being called “Sister-in-law.” She simply looked at Lu Miao. “I have something to ask you.”

“Grandma, you’re not blaming Sister-in-law for Second Brother not coming home these past two days, are you?” Gu Jinxi interjected. “It was our own decision to stay at Lingyue Manor with Sister-in-law. Sister-in-law actually prefers us not to go to her place. So, it’s impossible for her to incite Second

Brother not to come home.”

Lu Miao raised an eyebrow. At least he knew his own position.

“Who said I wanted to ask about that?” Grandma Gu glared at him irritably. “Do you think I would eat her?”

“You never know. You’re not an ordinary old lady.” Gu Jinxi muttered under his breath.

His grandmother came from a privileged background, and she had a fiery temper when she was young. She didn’t indulge anyone.

When his grandfather first started his business, someone deliberately got him drunk at a banquet, and his grandmother was there with him. She flipped the table on the spot, shocking everyone present.

Could an ordinary old lady do that?

“In your eyes, do you think your grandmother is so unreasonable?” Grandma Gu smacked him on the head in annoyance.

Grandma Gu felt a sting of guilt. She had indeed been somewhat unreasonable in Lu Miao’s case.

“Rest assured, I just want to have a few words with her.”

Then she turned to Lu Miao. “Are you afraid that I will harm you?”

Gu Jinxi was about to say something, but Lu Miao patted his shoulder and pulled him aside.

“Sister-in-law.” Gu Jinxi clearly didn’t trust his grandmother.

“It’s fine.”

Lu Miao turned her head to look around, then pointed to a tree not far away.

“Shall we talk over there?”

Grandma Gu nodded and went over.

Gu Jinxi held onto Lu Miao and whispered in her ear, “Sister-in-law, if

Grandma gives you a hard time, just call me, and I’ll come right away! ”

Lu Miao playfully swiped his head with her hand and smiled. “Got it.”

Gu Jinxi was like a loyal and clingy puppy, always by her side and very considerate in critical moments.

They walked directly to the tree, where the old lady wasted no time and went straight to the point.

“What made you save me that day, after the way I treated you? Why did you help me outside the City God Temple?”

Lu Miao didn’t expect the old lady to know that it was her who saved her that day. She casually replied, “There’s no particular reason. I just don’t like to stand by and watch someone die without trying to save them. It’s about respect for life. Whether it was you or any other stranger I had never met before, even a stray cat or dog on the street, I would save them. It has nothing to do with who you are or what kind of person you are.”

“You should know that Shiyan and the others have been looking for the person who saved me these past few days. Why didn’t you tell them? You saved me, you’re my lifesaver. As long as you speak up, you can win my favor and return to the Gu family, or you can gain any benefits you want from me,” the old lady straightforwardly stated.

On that day, she went out alone and didn’t tell anyone about it.

Although she had lost consciousness at the time, she had always had a sense of her surroundings and faintly heard discussions happening around her.

If it weren’t for Lu Miao stepping in, she might have actually died there.

“Why should I tell them? When I saved you, I simply wanted to save a life. Besides, I have no interest in gaining your favor or returning to the Gu family. Agreeing to marry into the Gu family in the first place was only a legitimate excuse for me to leave the Lu family. Even if you didn’t drive me away, when the time is right, I would have terminated the engagement and left on my own. So, whether you like me or dislike me, drive me away or let me stay, it doesn’t matter to me. As for benefits, are you talking about money or fame? I have enough money and capability to fulfill any of my own needs. Gu family may not have that ability to fulfil my needs,” Lu Miao declared boldly.

“My goals are not centered around the Gu family. I have many things to accomplish in the future, and the Gu family has never been within my scope of objectives.”

Grandma Gu looked at Lu Miao, who exuded an air of confidence and pride. She sighed deeply.

“I’m old, and I was wrong.”

Ever since she was saved, she had been prepared for Lu Miao to come and negotiate with her.

She had even anticipated all the conditions that Lu Miao might propose.

But unexpectedly, after Lu Miao paid her hospitalisation fees, she simply left the hospital without a word.

And in the days that followed, she never mentioned the incident again, not even when she encountered Gu Ziheng at the hospital. It was as if she didn’t know anything related to her. She didn’t seem interested in gaining anything from her.

Moreover, Lu Miao’s words just now made her realize how narrow-minded she had been compared to Lu Miao.

She had always known that what Gu Xingyu said was nonsense, and she had never believed it. She just didn’t like how Lu Miao had such a significant impact on Gu Shiyan and the rest of the brothers in the Gu family as soon as she entered. She even directly led them to leave the Gu family and establish their own foothold, causing unrest in the entire Gu family..
