Lin Xuezhi, whose scheme had been exposed, did not feel embarrassed. Instead, she admitted to it frankly. "We have indeed investigated you. After all, you're married to Shijin. We must have a certain understanding of his wife.""Ha." Lu Shijin snickered and looked at Lu Dingbang and Lin Xuezhi. his eyes full of scorn. "Don't tell me that by investigating my wife you are just concerned about me."Lu Dingbang stared fixedly at him, his face tense. He did not utter a word.However, Lin Xuezhi was still smiling. She explained. "Shijin, in a family like ours, so many women are trying to win your favor..."When he heard this, Lu Shijin immediately and rudely cut off her words. "Do you mean yourself, Auntie Lin?"Lin Xuezhi was startled and then understood what he meant. The smile on her face became somewhat forced. "Shijin, are you..."There was deeper scorn on Lu Shijin's lips. "Did I say something wrong? Did you not get close to my father and make my mother leave? Make yourself his l
In the confrontation between the father and son, neither party was willing to give in. The atmosphere became tense, almost as if they were ready to cross swords.In the end, Lu Shijin pulled Tang Ruochu away and left the house without the slightest hesitation. He showed Lu Dingbang his determined stance.Although he had long expected this outcome, Lu Dingbang was still enraged by Lu Shijin's insolence."Azhi, just look at him! Totally insolent and not respecting me at all as a father. How can I leave everything in his hands?"When she heard him say he intended to leave everything to Lu Shijin, a flicker of malice flashed across Lin Xuezhi's eyes. She quickly disguised it, then she reached out and gently patted Lu Dingbang's chest, consoling him tenderly. "You can't force a lad like Shijin. The more you do that, the more he will resist you. We must talk to him nicely.""How to talk to him nicely?" Lu Dingbang still sounded very harsh.Lin Xuezhi thought for a moment, then she said
"Huh?""You okay?"Lu Shijin turned his head sideways and curled up his lips. "I'm fine, don't worry.""Really?" Tang Ruochu did not quite believe him. She pursed her lips and asked, "Is it really okay for us to leave just like that?"When she thought of his father's words, Tang Ruochu became a little worried. She was really afraid that his father would do something to Shengyao. If that happened, would his father oppose Shengyao and Xiaoxiao's relationship, like he did hers?It had already happened to her. She did not want her best friend to suffer the same fate."If you're worried about Shengyao, you don't need to. As long as I'm around, my father won't dare to do anything to him."He sounded really resolute.Tang Ruochu could not help but find herself absurd. "Who is he? He's Lu Shijin. Even if he has no exceptional skills, he's good enough to protect his family and friends."Tang Ruochu beamed radiantly. "Okay, then I don't need to worry about him. I believe you.""Thank y
Other than admiring the maple trees, there were other attractions in the park, but since they had come late, it was already evening be the time they finished admiring the maple trees. Tang Ruochu could only leave, her yearnings not totally fulfilled.Lu Shijin drove the car out of the parking lot. He turned and saw Tang Ruochu staring out of the window, her eyes riveted. Her clear, yearning eyes made her seem reluctant to go.A faint smile appeared on the corners of his lips, and he said softly, "Let's come here another day.""Another day?"Tang Ruochu turned her head to look at him. They were both busy people, so how long would they need to visit this place again?She smiled a little. "Okay, let's come back some other day."After saying that, she turned her head back again and continued looking out of the window, entranced by the scenery which made her heart linger.When they came down the hill to the downtown district, the sky was already completely dark, the street lamps were
Lu Shijin was a member of this club and used to frequent it, so all the employees who had worked there for years recognized him. The moment he entered the clubhouse, someone came up to him and greeted him respectfully. "Good evening, CEO Lu.""Are Mr. Chu and the others here yet?" Lu Shijin asked."Yes. They're waiting for you in the usual private room."Tang Ruochu looked at the man who had come up to them and her eyes focused on the name tag pinned on his chest. She suddenly realized something. "So this man is the manager of the club."The manager swept a subtle glance at Tang Ruochu before smiling at Lu Shijin. "CEO Lu, this way please. I'll show you in."As a staff member of the club, the most important thing was not to intrude on the privacy of the guests.Even if the manager felt great curiosity about this woman with Lu Shijin, he would not dare to ask more.The manager took them to the private room on the 27th floor and turned to go.Just before leaving, he could not hel
Tang Ruochu asked what they each liked before making the orders.Chu Yuan could not help but sigh with emotion. "Sister-in-law is so considerate, she's taking care of all our tastebuds."Tang Ruochu looked up at him and said with a faint smile, "It's what I ought to do. You're all Shijin's best friends. If I ever fall out with him, I need you guys to be on my side."When he heard this, Shen Mu raised an eyebrow. "So you're trying to win us over, aren't you, Sister-in-law?""That's right," Tang Ruochu admitted frankly. Then, she turned her head and pretended to be vicious to Lu Shijin. "Shijin, don't make me angry, or they'll be nasty to you."Lu Shijin raised his slender brows slightly and there were amusement and tenderness in his eyes. He said softly, "Don't worry, my lady. Such a day will never come to pass."Tang Ruochu lightly bit her lip, a sweet smile spreading across her beautiful, small face.At this moment, there came a sudden cry from the side. "Oh no, I'm blind!"Ta
"Yes, yes, I am joking." Shen Mu agreed as he laughed even louder.The atmosphere within the private room was fantastic. Everyone was chatting casually and light-heartedly.Tang Ruochu was in a good mood, hence she drank more than she could handle. Being drunk, her head got dizzy as her face reddened. Under the bright lights, she seemed even more tantalizing."Come on, Sister-in-law, let's keep drinking."Ling Yao moved closer to Tang Ruochu with wine again. At this time, a cold tone rang out beside his ears. "Ah Yao, did your old habits return again?"When Ling Yao heard that, his heartbeat quickened in panic. He immediately turned to the man talking and smiled flatteringly. "Brother, I am too happy, so I lost control."Under his sharp gaze, he became softer and softer. In the end, he returned back to his seat and sat down.Seeing that, Shen Mu smiled and spoke up for Ling Yao. "Shijin, it's all right for Sister-in-law to drink a bit more. She can just sleep here tonight."Lu
Actually, Tang Ruochu wasn't very drunk. After drinking the honey water that Lu Shijin had ordered for her, she sobered up.She examined her room and realized that only one light was shining on the wall. Even though it was dim, she could still tell that the room was luxuriously decorated in an American style.She was alerted by the sound of water flowing and turned toward it.The bathroom was separated by translucent glass. Even though the room was dimly lit, the light from within the bathroom made her clearly see Shijin's tall and slender figure through the ground glass.Even though they had been married for a long time and were very intimate with each other, she withdrew her gaze from him and walked over to the French windows.She could see half of the Jing City through those French windows. The numerous lights that shone on the city were beautiful at night, showcasing the luxurious nature of Jing City.Lifting her hand, she placed it gently on the ice-cold glass, her eyes full
