Chapter 1209: Chapter 1236: Exposing the True Colors (21)

Shi Nuan lowered her eyes, "But Nianyang, I owe him my life. If it weren’t for him, I would have died long ago. I know he’s not good, he’s very bad, but he really has been kind to me, he holds my lifeline."

Nianyang asked what she meant, and Shi Nuan said that Lu Xingshen had once saved her life when she was a child. "Nianyang, I owe him a lot. My promise to marry him wasn’t just to protect Chu Zhan, but more because I owe Lu Xingshen too much. If I were with Chu Zhan, he would target Chu Zhan in every way in the future.

And because I owe Lu Xingshen my life, I can’t help Chu Zhan deal with him. I would only become more and more miserable, and it would cause Chu Zhan to keep backing down for my sake, leading to resentment towards me.

Nianyang, say I’m selfish if you like, but I truly can’t do it. Someone like me doesn’t deserve Chu Zhan.

So to prevent those things from happening, for the sake of both our families’ well-being, and so Chu Zhan doesn’t have to suffer, I can only marry him. Do you understand me?"

Nianyang suddenly didn’t know what to say, and after a moment of silence,

"Even if he saved you, it can’t be the reason he manipulates you, keeping you from acknowledging your family, even less, imprisoning you by his side in the name of love. Nuannuan, do you really have to be a puppet?"

Shi Nuan couldn’t reply, and Nianyang didn’t push her. He handed her a phone, "Take this. Once I find out the truth, I’ll send you a message. I will uncover everything before the end of the month.

Nuannuan, if it turns out my suspicion is true, and Lu Xingshen is truly doing everything to prevent you from going home, please don’t marry him, okay?"

"Even if you don’t choose my brother, please don’t choose Lu Xingshen, okay?"

Shi Nuan’s gaze slowly solidified. She nodded and said, "Alright!"

Nianyang breathed a sigh of relief and said before leaving, "Nuannuan, if the DNA test proves you are indeed my family’s daughter, and Lu Xingshen has long known about your background, I think you should investigate if there’s any secret about you hidden in Lu Xingshen’s room."

After throwing out this statement that was enough to turn Shi Nuan’s world upside down, Nianyang quickly left Lu Xingshen’s villa.

She needed to get the DNA test done immediately since time was running out.

And shortly after Nianyang left, Shi Nuan remembered that when she came to look for the household register previously, she had discovered a password box.

At the time, Lu Xingshen was very nervous, saying it contained confidential documents.

Back then, Shi Nuan had been focused on the household register and overlooked many details.

Shi Nuan remembered clearly, Lu Xingshen was a very cautious person, and he kept personal and public matters separate.

If it were confidential documents from his official jurisdiction, he would keep them in the secret chamber there, not bring them home.

So that password box might contain a huge secret.

Thinking this, Shi Nuan’s heart raced. While Lu Xingshen wasn’t home, she quickly ran to Lu Xingshen’s room.

Since Shi Nuan had found this password box before, Lu Xingshen had moved it to his room.

Shi Nuan searched high and low, finally finding it under the bed.

But without the password, she couldn’t open it.

Sitting on the floor, she seriously contemplated Lu Xingshen’s habits and then input a few groups of numbers, first his birthday—no luck.

Next, the last few digits of his ID—still wrong.

After a few seconds’ pause, Shi Nuan suddenly entered her own birthday, guided by a strange impulse, but still, it was wrong.
