250 I am her backer


    “No, I didn’t mean it that way. Do you want to go grocery shopping with me?” Tong Lu was shocked.


    “Remember, you owe me a meal!” Leng Yejin red at her. “Go to the President’s House,” he ordered.


    Tong Lu pursed her lips.’How can I owe someone a death anniversary meal?’ This was something that had expired.


    He did not cook for them that night and instead had dinner at the presidential pce. Usually, there were only the two of them at the dining table. It was rare that there were so many people tonight. Madam president’s eyes were full of smiles. Xiaolu, eat more and don’t be so reserved. Although we are in the presidential pce, we are all family. Just treat it as if you are at home.


    “Yes.”


    However, she could not feel at ease eating at the same table as the president and his wife, unlike Leng Yejin, who was sitting next to her. He ate elegantly and casually, as if he was at home.


    Leng Yejin was cutting his steak. I went to visit the grave today. Tong Lu and Shanshan were sshed with sulfuric acid. Fortunately, I arrived in time. That’s how we managed to survive.


    The president and Madam President paused in their eating. Madam president’s expression was one of shock.”What’s going on?”


    Leng Yejin briefly exined what had happened today. Madam president’s face darkened.”How could he do such a thing? That child, Xu Ke, was carefully selected by the old man from all the girls in the Xu family. Her talent and appearance were excellent, but why was her character so inferior? Xiaolu, what conflict did you have with Xu Han?”


    Tong Lu pursed her lips, feeling a little guilty.


    Leng Yejin finished the ss of wine in his hand. He raised his eyebrows andughed sarcastically.”I’ve seen her character a long time ago. A few months ago, at a charity auction, she was drugged and came to me to save her. I checked and found out that she had found someone to drug her. With such a woman by my side, I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep well at night.”


    Tong Lu lowered her head. The charity auction a few months ago? That night, she also took the love drug by mistake. Could it be rted to Xu Ke?


    In his seat, the president’s face was cold and serious. “I will discuss this with my family. I don’t like this kind of character.”


    A dark glint shed across Leng Yejin’s eyes. He did not beat around the bush. As the head of a family, he knew how important his marriage was to the political alliance between the two families. This had never been his personal matter. It was a matter of the Alliance of interests between the two families. Between financial groups, and between politics, they could form a powerful alliance through marriage. However, after Xu Ke’s incident, it could at least be dyed for a while.


    After dinner, a fleet of cars slowly stopped in front of an apartment in a high-endmunity near the presidential pce.


    “I’ll carry it up myself?” Tong Lu got out of the car. She wanted to take Shanshan, who was already fast asleep, from Leng Yejin’s hands.


    The man strode forward with his long legs, carrying his daughter and walking straight into the apartment.


    In the elevator, Tong Lu was taking out her keys. She asked as she flipped through the briefcase, ” “Um, I heard you say that Xu Ke used aphrodisiacs. Was it the time when I was also drugged? Did she poison me?”


    “She wanted to drink it herself but took the wrong cup. You ate it by mistake.”


    The elevator door opened with a ding. Leng Yejin walked out first, and Tong Lu followed behind him to open the door. She did not expect that this was how she was drugged. Xu Ke had schemed so hard, but in the end, her youngest uncle became her antidote? Tong Lu pursed her lips. She did not know whether tough or cry.


    “Wait a minute, slippers.”


    Leng Yejin lowered his head. His expression suddenly turned stern, and his voice was terrifying.”Where did these men’s slipperse from?”


    Tong Lu looked embarrassed. when Shanshan and I were shopping at the supermarket, she insisted on buying a pair for men. She said that if you came to visit her at home, you’d have to be barefooted if you didn’t have slippers.
