"Grandpa Shen is someone who values relationships. What he promised will definitely be fulfilled. Hence, I don't think he did anything wrong."Hearing that, Ying Xiaoxiao became unhappy. "Song Anyi, he used his money to insult you. Why are you still speaking for him?""Actually..." Song Anyi thought for a while. "I believe that Xu Wenjing's actions might not have been instructed by Grandpa Shen.""Not instructed by him? Do you mean that the woman acted on her own?"Song Anyi spread her hands. "Possibly."Such an uncertain answer made Ying Xiaoxiao roll her eyes. "Song Anyi, please don't be so naive next time. Regardless of whether it was the woman's idea or Old Man Shen's idea, you must remember that you have not been accepted by the Shen family."Xiaoxiao wasn't wrong. She had indeed not been accepted by the Shen family and nobody knew what would happen in the future.Xu Wenjing warned her that if she didn't take the cheque and leave Mofei, something would happen to her parents
"So, y'all tore the cheque?" Lu Shengyao placed his mug back on the table as he stared at Ying Xiaoxiao opposite him with astonishment.Ying Xiaoxiao nodded. "Of course. Why would I keep it?"Lu Shengyao touched his nose. "What a pity. That's a million dollars.""Pity?"Ying Xiaoxiao raised her brows and asked, "Lu Shengyao, why is it pitiful to lose those one million dollars?""Since she is willing to give money to you, you shouldn't reject it. How can we reject free money?" Lu Shengyao believed that taking the cheque wouldn't mean leaving Mofei. After all, how could anyone reject such a huge sum of money?"Lu Shengyao!" Ying Xiaoxiao threw the bolster at him and complained, "Anyi is a woman of principles."Lu Shengyao hugged the bolster easily and smiled. "I am only joking. There is no need to be agitated."Ying Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and squinted her eyes. "Lu Shengyao, if my dad asked you to leave me with a million dollars, you wouldn't give in to the temptation, right
Lu Shengyao was helpless. The great atmosphere just now had been destroyed by her. He was truly impressed by her thought process.Ying Xiaoxiao knew that she was being ridiculous. However, the indignant her could never admit to that. She had to force herself to come up with a reason. "Why did you suddenly compliment me? Didn't you always insult me in the past?"He had called her a witch in the past.Lu Shengyao was extremely helpless but he still explained patiently, "Look, were you my girlfriend then? No. It's normal to banter since we have nothing to talk about anyways. You are my girlfriend now and it's normal for me to compliment my own girlfriend."Looking at his sincere face, Ying Xiaoxiao felt that she was being outrageous. The corner of her mouth twitched with embarrassment as she replied, "So that's why. It seems like I misunderstood you.""Is that all you are going to say?" Lu Shengyao raised his brows as he looked at her with a slight grin."What else?" "Does he want m
"Sister Xiaoxiao," Xu Xinlei called softly.Ying Xiaoxiao smirked, "Turns out you still think of me as your sister."Hearing the mockery in her voice, Xu Xinlei's face turned pale. She lowered her head and apologized, "I am sorry, Sister Xiaoxiao.""There is no need to apologize. Just stay away from Shengyao in the future."As for Ying Xiaoxiao, she didn't care that Xu Xinlei had sent those photos before. She only cared that she had approached Shengyao with impure intentions.As a potential enemy, she must destroy her completely even when a trivial sign appeared, showing no mercy.Hence, she rushed over to grab onto Lu Shengyao's arm, a tinge of warning in her soft voice. "I am Shengyao's girlfriend and hence I don't appreciate any other woman being around him. Xinlei, I believe that you should understand what I mean."Xu Xinlei had her hands grasped tightly as she lowered her head to reply, "I understand.""I shall not invite you inside then."Hearing that, Xu Xinlei retreate
Tang Ruochu was a little astonished upon receiving the call. She hadn't expected her opponent to have her number. However, she remembered that the Lu family had investigated her before and would definitely know how to contact her.Once she received the call, Lin Xuezhi's voice came from the other end. With a calm and peaceful voice, she said, "Miss Tang, I am Shijin's mother."After her self-introduction, Tang Ruochu's brows were raised as she asked politely, "Auntie, why did you call me?""Are you free, Miss. Tang? I want to chat with you.""Chat? I don't think it would be convenient.""How could we chat since she is at Jing city while I am at Beining?""I am in Beining."Tang Ruochu was speechless.She had originally thought that she could escape this. However, it seemed to be impossible now.Since the trouble had come, she had to deal with it.After confirming the time and location with Lin Xuezhi, Tang Ruochu took leave from Li Na before driving to the location.Once she
"As long as you agree, you can be together with Shijin, with nobody able to separate you and him, not even Shijin's father. Furthermore, Shengyao will not be controlled by his father either. Isn't such a situation great?"Lin Xuezhi added before looking at Tang Ruochu with confidence written in her eyes.It seemed that she was certain that Tang Ruochu would agree to this suggestion. However, Tang Ruochu's mouth curled into a smile as she replied, "Apologies, Auntie, but I can't agree."Lin Xuezhi's expression froze on her face as she asked anxiously, "Why? Do you want to be apart from Shijin and see Shijin's father deal with Shengyao?"Tang Ruochu chuckled. "Don't worry, Auntie. I will not be separated from Shijin, and neither will Shijin allow Shengyao to be injured."Staring at the girl smiling in front of her, the confidence in her expression made Lin Xuezhi flustered. She took a deep breath and asked once more, "Are you really unwilling?"If she was really unwilling to listen
Jing city, at the Lu family:After returning from his business trip, Lu Chendong heard from his butler that Lu Shijin had returned with his wife the day before.He was astonished. Lu Shijin hadn't returned to the Lu family for a long time. The only logical reason for him to bring his wife back this time was to challenge the authority of his father."However, when did Lu Shijin get married?"He remembered the woman who had come to find Lu Shijin during the charity dinner in Beining. The woman whom he could not forget.After enquiring about the appearance of Lu Shijin's wife, he confirmed that he had seen Lu Shijin's wife that day."Turns out they're married."At the thought of the gentle, pure and pretty woman being Lu Shijin's wife, he inevitably felt jealous that Lu Shijin had obtained such a perfect woman."Chendong."While he was deep in thought, a deep voice rang in his ears.He turned around immediately and saw that his father, Lu Dingbang, was descending the stairs with
Uncle Zhao woke up.Upon hearing the news, Tang Ruochu rushed to the hospital.When Uncle Zhao saw her, tears flowed out of his eyes. "Miss..."Seeing his apparently aged face, Tang Ruochu felt a trace of bitterness in her heart as she rushed forward to hold his hand. "Uncle Zhao."She called out softly as the corners of her eyes turned wet.Uncle Zhao was like a little kid, holding her hand tight and crying unrestrainedly. Beside him, Zhao Qiyan was wiping the tears off his father's face as he said helplessly, "Dad, stop crying. Don't you want to talk to Miss Tang?"Tang Ruochu smiled gently. "It's alright, let Uncle Zhao cry. He will feel better after he cries."However, they hadn't expected Uncle Zhao to faint due to his emotional outburst. Immediately, they called the doctor out of fear.The doctor said that Uncle Zhao was still weak as he had just woken up. He was too agitated and hence had fainted. However, he would wake up soon.Tang Ruochu heaved a sigh of relief after
