"Madam Lu, I am just asking. Of course, as Xiao Lan's mother, you must be worried about her. Why do you think that I said you are the culprit?" Si Li's words were loud and clear as if he had pointed at her.
Madam Lu was dumbfounded.
Although Elder Lu understood who was the culprit behind Lu Lan's attack, he wanted to wait for the evidence first. Even others had understood that Madam Lu had tried to replace Lu Lan so that Lu Xuelon would be able to marry Si Li.
"Fine, the culprit will definitely be punished. Lu Yaohua, let's start the cake cutting ceremony. We don't have to waste the time of our guests because of our personal matter." Elder Lu was now reluctant to continue with the party but still, he had to show some face to the guests.
Lu Yaohua was the name of Master Lu.
-------------------
Soon cake cutting ceremony started and at that time a waiter came towards Lu Xuelon with a note "Miss Lu, Mr Si has given me this note for you."
Lu Xuelon was miserable with the situation because all the attention which she was getting till now was away from her by Lu Lan. But seeing the note which Si Li had sent to her, a ray of hope shone in her eyes.
Note:
'Meet me at the backyard now.
Don't tell anyone'.
Lu Xuelon thought Si Li wanted to clarify, so she immediately rushed to meet him. As, the cake cutting ceremony had started, everyone was in the hall, no one was in the backyard.
"Bro Li…" The lights were dim in the backyard. Lu Xuelon saw no one was here. After searching for a while, she saw one man standing near the tree and had his back towards Lu Xuelon.
She went towards him "Bro Li…"
Lu Xuelon stretched her hand and about to touch his back when suddenly someone came behind her and held a handkerchief on her nose. Lu Xuelon started struggling but in few seconds, she lost her consciousness.
--------------------
After the cake cutting, soon guests started to give their gifts to Elder Lu except for Si Li and Lu Lan. They wondered what Si Li wanted to do, but no one dared to question him.
At the end, of course, the best gift was given by Elder Si. A statue of their teacher, which Elder Si had purchased it in an auction. Indeed Elder Lu also wanted it for a long time but Elder Si always rejected him.
Time was slowly passing by and although Madam Lu was physically present at the party, her mind was wondering how would she handle the situation?
Now she understood why her factory was ablaze and her men suddenly disappeared somewhere. It was all done by Si Li.
At that time, Assistant Mu Che came to the party and gave an envelope to Si Li. Everyone's attention was on that envelope.
"Si Li give that envelope to me." Elder Lu commanded.
"Sure…Elder Lu, but first I would like to request all the guests that since this party has already come to the end, please make yourself way". Indeed Si Li did not want to embarrass Elder Lu.
Although all the guests wanted to see what was in the envelope, no one dared to go against Si Li. After all the guests left for their home only Si and Lu family was present.
"Mr Si, please." Assistant Long went towards Si Li to collect the envelope.
Si Li passed the envelope to him and then Elder Lu took the envelope from Assistant Long and took out the photos from the envelope. When he saw the photos, his expression changed.
