How could there be a person like Lu Jinsheng in this world?
"Okay, I agree to your conditions."
"Alright."
Lu Jinsheng nodded slightly, concealing the smile in his eyes.
"Now can you tell me where you got the jade pendant?"
Receiving Lu Jinsheng's signal with his eyes, He Yu began to speak slowly, "I redeemed this jade pendant from a pawnshop. According to the pawnshop owner, it was Chen Liang who pawned it there back then. This is also the only clue we've found about Shen Weiting so far."
Hearing this, Shen Jianyi couldn't help but let her mind wander. That was the most precious thing for her and her younger sister, always worn close to the body. How could it...
"Miss Shen, President Lu has already dispatched more people to look for clues about Shen Weiting. Don't worry too much."
The cold voice sounded, pulling Shen Jianyi's thoughts back. She glanced at He Yu and then kept silent.
"You should fulfill your promise now."
"Okay." Shen Jianyi sat down boldly in front of Lu Jinsheng, poured herself a glass of water, and said, "I can marry you in name only, but we must set three rules."
"Oh? What are your three rules?"
Lu Jinsheng sat up straight and looked at the woman in front of him with great interest.
"First, you must help me find clues about my sister within three months. Otherwise, we'll get divorced. Second, we'll only have the name of husband and wife, but no real marital relationship. Third..."
"What's the third one?"
Seeing her hesitating, Lu Jinsheng deliberately asked curiously.
"I haven't thought of the third one yet. I'll tell you when I do. A promise without a written contract is no good. My requirements must be written down on paper, and both parties need to sign it."
Shen Jianyi hated herself for not being more prepared. Facing this old fox in front of her, she had to think everything through so as not to be taken advantage of by him.
"Miss Shen, the contract has already been prepared."
He Yu somehow took out a contract and handed it to Shen Jianyi properly.
"Add Miss Shen's requirements and draw up a new contract. I've already signed it. Just prepare it and let her sign."
The man on the opposite side curled the corner of his mouth slightly. Shen Jianyi felt like punching him in the face. This man always looked so self - assured, which really made her angry.
Twenty minutes later, He Yu brought the newly - drawn - up contract to Shen Jianyi.
Only after watching Shen Jianyi sign her name did Lu Jinsheng let her leave.
Watching Shen Jianyi's slender back disappear at the end of the garden corridor, Lu Jinsheng slowly withdrew his gaze.
"President Lu, we still haven't found out Miss Shen's background clearly. Are you really going to marry her?"
"No one is more suitable to marry than her."
"Don't tell anyone about this for now. I want to announce it after everything has settled down."
"Yes."
He Yu was secretly surprised. He originally thought Lu Jinsheng was just playing around. After all, having followed Lu Jinsheng for so many years, he had never seen any woman that Lu Jinsheng cared about so much.
It seemed that a storm was about to hit the Lu family.
After leaving the Lu family, Shen Jianyi changed into casual clothes and immediately set off.
The sky was getting dark, and there was still an important thing waiting for her to do.
In the evening, the small courtyard of Shen Suqing's house looked especially desolate.
After being frightened by Shen Jianyi, the couple became very cautious even when talking at home.
"Have you packed everything?"
"Packed. We have an eight - o'clock flight. It's just the right time to leave now."
The speakers were Shen Suqing and Yu Hang. Their living room was filled with luggage, and they were wrapped up tightly, looking out of place in this gradually hot season.
"We shouldn't delay. Let's go quickly."
Yu Hang was a bit impatient. After all, holding a check for 100 million, as long as they were not in Shencheng, they could live a carefree life anywhere.
However, their beautiful dream turned into bubbles the moment they opened the door. The person in front of them slowly took off the hood, revealing a stunning face.
"Shen, Shen Jianyi!"
The handbag in their hands fell to the ground. Shen Jianyi stepped forward and forced the two of them back into the house.
"What, are you in such a hurry to go somewhere?"
"Ah... haha, Jianyi, your sister and I want to visit some relatives..."
Yu Hang laughed awkwardly, secretly blaming Shen Suqing for not being able to book a flight out of the country yesterday. Otherwise, how could they have been blocked by Shen Jianyi?
"Visit relatives so late?" Shen Jianyi quietly locked the door from the inside and walked up to Shen Suqing. "Sister, how come I don't know we have any relatives?"
Shen Suqing lowered her head and picked at her palm. Beads of sweat were densely forming on her forehead. She whispered, "Jianyi, I'm still your older sister after all. We have the same father. Do you really have to be so heartless?"
"Humph!" Shen Jianyi snorted and sat down on the sofa. "Is there an older sister like you in this world? You personally sold your younger sister to human traffickers, occupied my house, and have never shown me a good face since I was a child. How dare you say we have the same father!"
"Jianyi!" Shen Suqing suddenly threw herself at Shen Jianyi's feet, looking extremely embarrassed with tears streaming down her face. "If it weren't for the lack of money at home, how could I have thought of selling you? It was all because of life. And... and you're living well now... Please forgive your sister..."
Looking at the tear - stained face of the woman at her feet, Shen Jianyi's heart twitched. It wasn't for Shen Suqing, but for the suffering that Weiting had endured. She only hated that she hadn't protected her well before.
She stood up and said coldly, "I'm here for only one thing today, the check."
"Ah?"
"We've spent the check."
Yu Hang lied without hesitation.
"Yu Hang, I advise you to hand over the check honestly. That's the check you got for selling me. It's only right to give it to me, isn't it?"
As she spoke, Shen Jianyi somehow had a knife at Shen Suqing's throat.
Shen Suqing stopped crying immediately and slumped at Shen Jianyi's feet, not daring to move.
"Jian, Jianyi, don't do anything stupid..."
"Sister, you know me. I never do anything without a reason."
As the blade got closer and closer to her throat, Shen Suqing felt like she was about to stop breathing. She shouted hoarsely, "Yu Hang, quickly give her the check!"
"No! I won't give it!"
Yu Hang hugged his backpack tightly. His eyes were bloodshot. He shuffled step by step towards the door.
That was 100 million! How could he give it to Shen Jianyi for nothing?!
"Yu Hang, what... what are you doing?"
Shen Suqing's vision suddenly blurred with tears. Since she married Yu Hang, she had never had a good day. Now he was even going to abandon her for money...
Looking at the man's greedy face, Shen Jianyi said calmly, "Brother - in - law, you'd better think it through."
