Chapter 34

"Fortunately, I have a set of clothes that I bought for my brother. He thought they were too young for him and didn't want them, so I was planning to return them. I'll give them to you instead!" Shen Yafang said as she went upstairs to the changing room and brought down a set of clothes.

The set included a shirt, a suit, dress pants, and a tie. The shirt was blue-purple, and the suit was a slim fit, giving an overall youthful appearance. Shen Yafang's second brother, Shen Yazhou, who was the vice mayor of Jiangzhou City and over forty years old, indeed found such clothes unsuitable for him.

Lu Xin glanced at the brand of the suit, which turned out to be Armani. This set of clothes must have cost at least ten to twenty thousand yuan, or even more. He quickly waved his hands, "This is too valuable; I really can't accept it!"

"You saved Luo Luo's life, and indirectly saved mine as well. The favor of saving a life is invaluable and weightier than Mount Tai. The set of clothes I'm giving you is worth fifty thousand yuan, which is far from enough to express our gratitude. Please accept it!" Shen Yafang smiled sweetly. As the sister of the vice mayor and the head of the publicity department of a group company, her political skills were indeed strong, and she quickly turned the previous unpleasantness into a pleasant situation.

"I am Luo Luo's tutor, and saving her is my duty. You really don't need to be so polite," Lu Xin hoped that Shen Yafang would speak up for him in the future to make Li Qiming back off, and he didn't want to leave her with the impression that he was greedy.

Shen Yafang chuckled, "Lu Xin, you're not good at playing word games. When you saved Luo Luo, you didn't know she was your student. You could have stood by like other men, but you stepped forward, which is truly commendable and touching. We feel really bad if we don't properly thank you!"

Lu Xin really didn't want to accept the gift because he had never worn such good clothes and rarely wore suits. Wearing them would definitely feel awkward. Moreover, accepting the gift would weaken Shen Yafang's gratitude towards him, so he continued to refuse, "I have the skills of a golden bell and iron shirt. Saving Luo Luo was just a small effort for me, so you don't need to be so polite!"

Shen Yifei, standing nearby, laughed, "Lu Xin, you are a college student and have surely studied the basics of law. You should know that when you saved Luo Luo and injured those three hooligans, and taught Luo Luo how to defend herself, which further injured those hooligans, you committed the crime of excessive self-defense. This is not something you can avoid just because you have the skills of a golden bell and iron shirt. So, saving Luo Luo was not just a small effort but a violation of the law. You took such a big risk to save Luo Luo, and my aunt is just giving you a set of clothes that my uncle didn't want. I think my aunt is a bit too stingy!"

"Yifei is right; I am a bit stingy. However, my gratitude towards Lu Xin will be shown in the future," Shen Yafang's face turned red as she saw Lu Xin's insistence, and she said crisply, "Lu Xin, will you accept this gift? If you don't, I'll throw it in the trash!"

With such a decisive statement from Shen Yafang, Lu Xin had no choice but to nod helplessly, "Alright, it would be a waste to throw it away. I'll take it!"

Li Luo, who was very smart, heard Lu Xin say, "I'll take it," and giggled, "Brother Sanjin, what do you mean? You're planning to take it now and return it later? That won't do! My mom never takes back anything she gives! Brother Sanjin, you can take a shower and change clothes at our place today!"

Saying this, Li Luo took the set of clothes and pushed Lu Xin towards the bathroom, handing him her towel, shower gel, and shampoo, "Brother Sanjin, use mine!"

Looking at Li Luo's sweet smile, Lu Xin couldn't refuse her enthusiasm and took the set of clothes.

When he entered the bathroom, Lu Xin's blood boiled. Hanging by the window were over a dozen bras in various colors and styles—black, pink, white, and purple, mostly lace. However, by size, they could be divided into two categories: one large and one small. The larger ones, estimated to be 36F, were probably worn by Shen Yafang, and the smaller ones, estimated to be 34C, were probably worn by Li Luo.

Lu Xin took off his dirty work clothes, then his even dirtier pants, and finally his underwear, just as he was about to stand under the shower, the bathroom door, which was closed, was suddenly opened, and a figure rushed in hurriedly, quickly collecting the dozen bras into a basket.

It was Li Luo's mother, Shen Yafang. She collected the bras into the basket and turned to see Lu Xin, who was naked. Seeing his strong and muscular body and the bulge in his crotch, her face turned red, and she said softly, "Why did you undress so quickly! Well, rinse yourself off, and you can use our bathtub to relax!"

A woman in her thirties, the mother of a fifteen-year-old daughter, blushing, made Lu Xin feel that she was a bit cute. He shook his head lightly, "I'll just use the shower."

Lu Xin guessed that this woman had a bit of a cleanliness obsession and didn't want to use her things to avoid making them dirty and causing her to be upset.

Shen Yafang hurriedly left the bathroom, put the basket in the adjacent storage room, and when she returned to the living room, her face was still flushed, as if she had drunk alcohol.

Li Luo, who had sharp eyes, noticed her mother's unusual complexion and giggled, "Mom, why is your face so red?"

Song Chunyu had already guessed why Shen Yafang's face was red and gave Li Luo a look, "Go help your mom wash the vegetables."

Shen Yifei originally wanted to stay for dinner at her aunt's house, but her phone rang. Seeing it was from the police, she quickly answered, "Oh, those three hooligans have other criminal records, and their leader is the son of Deputy District Chief Zhou. Alright, I'll go back immediately and gather all the evidence to make the case solid."

She turned to Shen Yafang and smiled, "Aunt, the leader of those three hooligans is Deputy District Chief Zhou Yuanfu of Sanjiang District. I'm worried that Zhou Yuanfu will put pressure on our district, so I need to go back and make the case ironclad. Also, Aunt, you need to call Uncle and tell him about this situation so he can put pressure on Zhou Yuanfu!"

Shen Yafang narrowed her eyes, her gaze cold, and she huffed, "I said, where did those three hooligans get the nerve? It turns out they had the backing of a deputy district chief. Poor parenting, it looks like his career as a deputy district chief is coming to an end!"

"Sister Fang, I'm worried that this will become a big issue and damage Luo Luo's reputation," Song Chunyu said with concern.

After the conflict with Lu Xin, Shen Yafang's attitude had improved, and she could listen to different opinions. She lowered her head, frowned, and thought carefully, "I'll call my second brother and ask for his opinion."
