A girl suddenly came looking for her outside?
Hearing the words of the servant outside the room, Lu Sheng was stunned.
First, she glanced at the clock, and the time displayed was already past two in the morning.
Then she looked at the sky outside the window. Although the thunder and lightning had stopped, the storm was still very fierce.
Which girl would brave such a violent storm to come to the Lu Family at such a late hour to find her?
"I see. I’ll go out right now."
Lu Sheng’s first thought was Gu Siyu, but it seemed unlikely. She put on the sleep jacket she had just taken off and opened the door to the entrance.
However, when she saw the drenched girl standing outside, shivering and hugging her arms, through the entrance’s security monitor, she couldn’t help but gasp.
Lu Sheng didn’t think twice and immediately opened the door.
The girl looked utterly distressed and helpless.
The moment she saw Lu Sheng, Juanjuan, shivering from the cold and hugging her arms outside, burst into tears, her eyes red and her voice hoarse, she called out: "Sis, sister..."
"I’m here."
Lu Sheng was truly frightened by Juanjuan and immediately pulled her into the house, "Don’t talk for now, come inside quickly."
At the same time, she turned to the servant and said, "Aunt Li, could you please boil some brown sugar ginger tea and bring it to my room later."
"Alright, Miss, I’ll go right away," Aunt Li responded immediately.
In fact, Aunt Li, who had come with Lu Sheng, was also very surprised.
Firstly, because this girl looked younger than their young miss, it was a wonder why she would run over in such a storm at this time, and she seemed to be scared.
Secondly, this girl was so beautiful—even though her long golden hair was soaked from the rain, and she was dripping wet, it couldn’t hide or cover up her delicate features.
She looked like a mixed-race princess.
Juanjuan was completely soaked, her clothes still dripping with water. As she walked into the entrance, she hesitated, her upbringing making her worry that her wet self would dirty someone else’s house even in this situation.
Lu Sheng noticed her concern right away and immediately said, "Don’t worry, Aunt Li will clean up. Just come back to my room with me first to take a shower; whatever happened or whatever you want to say, let’s talk after you have a shower and change your clothes."
After seeing Lu Sheng, Juanjuan seemed a bit calmer, took a deep breath, and nodded, "...Okay."
Everybody else in the house was already asleep, so Lu Sheng didn’t say anything more and directly took Juanjuan back to her room.
She adjusted the shower temperature in the bathroom, found a clean set of pajamas for her, and let Juanjuan take a hot shower.
When Juanjuan came out of the bathroom, the room’s heating was on at full blast, and there was also a steaming cup of brown sugar ginger tea on the coffee table.
Faced with Juanjuan clean from the shower, Lu Sheng let her drink the ginger tea first. But Juanjuan, glancing at the ginger tea, suddenly burst into tears.
Like a panicked traveler drowning who finally grasped a life-saving log, she went straight into Lu Sheng’s embrace and cried, "Sister, sob sob..."
Lu Sheng had no idea what had happened to Juanjuan; all she could do was pat her back to comfort her, "Don’t rush, Juanjuan. Tell sister what happened. What’s wrong with you?"
"Sister..."
Juanjuan lifted her head, her eyes red, and the first words she said were, "Sister, you mustn’t believe brother. Everything he says is a lie. Brother, he... is so frightening."
