The Lu Mansion was ablaze with lights. Even the main entrance was brightly lit.
Before her car had even pulled into the Lu Mansion, Shen Jianyi saw a row of people standing at the entrance, seemingly waiting for her on purpose.
This is way too exaggerated.
As soon as Shen Jianyi's car stopped at the entrance, the doorman of the Lu Mansion trotted over to open the car door for her.
"Madam, let me park your car in the backyard for you."
No wonder the head of the richest family in China has servants dressed in suits. Shen Jianyi silently handed over the car keys.
"Madam, this way please. The young master is waiting for you inside."
"Okay."
Following the servant, Shen Jianyi finally had a good look at the Lu Mansion.
It was said that this was a luxury villa dating back to the last century. After the Lu family bought it, they spent years renovating it, decorating it into the current low - key yet luxurious style.
"Madam, the villa you and the young master live in is right in front. The main building in the middle is where the old master and some of the family elders live. Usually, the young master rarely goes to the main building, and the old master rarely comes to the villa. There are many servants in the family. Just let us know if you need anything."
"How should I address you?"
The middle - aged man leading her was a bit gray - haired, but he was full of energy. The years had left on his face not vicissitudes but a sense of maturity and stability. He clearly wasn't an ordinary servant.
"My name is Li Xin'an. I'm the young master's butler. I've been taking care of him since he was a child. You can't imagine how happy I am to know that he's finally married. Hehe..."
As they talked, they soon arrived at the door of the villa. Uncle Li respectfully opened the door for Shen Jianyi.
As she walked into the room, Shen Jianyi was immediately attracted by the unique decoration style.
The first floor was very spacious. There were several masterpieces by minimalist painters hanging on the walls. There weren't many gaudy decorations in the room, but it had a fresh and refined atmosphere, which was surprisingly similar to Lu Jinsheng's temperament.
"This way, please."
Uncle Li led Shen Jianyi towards the living room. As soon as she walked in, Shen Jianyi saw the people on the sofa.
The atmosphere in the whole room suddenly became less fresh and refined.
Sitting upright in the living room were Lu Ziqian, the head of the Lu family, and several other elders.
Wasn't it said that the old master of the Lu family rarely came to the villa?
Shen Jianyi looked at Uncle Li behind her with some confusion. Uncle Li was also a bit surprised. It was probably that the old master had been keeping an eye on her. As soon as Shen Jianyi entered the Lu Mansion, they rushed over.
"You're here."
Lu Jinsheng, holding a red wine glass, suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He gave Shen Jianyi a gentle smile and walked straight towards her across the living room.
"Uncle Li, ask Sister Gu to tidy up the room and prepare the bathroom. Yiyi and I want to go to bed early tonight."
"Yes."
Shen Jianyi couldn't help but be shocked. How could he say such disgusting words so seriously?
"Jinsheng, don't you think you should give the family an explanation?"
A deep voice came from the center of the living room. Lu Ziqian's eyes were lowered, as if he was about to fly into a rage the next second.
"Come."
Lu Jinsheng's tone was gentle but had an irresistible force.
Looking at the hand he stretched out, Shen Jianyi hesitated for a moment and then placed her hand on his arm, following him towards the center of the living room.
"Since you've invited all the family elders here, I won't beat around the bush. Yiyi and I have already gotten our marriage certificate, and we'll hold our wedding soon. I hope all the elders will come then."
"Do you know how much of an impact this will have on our Lu family?"
The person who spoke had a square face and a serious expression, looking rather upright.
He was a bit older than Lu Ziqian. Shen Jianyi had read his information. He was Lu Jinsheng's uncle, Lu Ziqian's elder brother, Lu Suowei.
It was said that he had almost become the head of the Lu family back then, but at the critical moment, Lu Jinsheng's grandfather still left the Lu family to Lu Ziqian. The exact reason was unclear.
"Uncle, you didn't want to marry the wife arranged by grandfather back then either. Why are you still against me now?"
Lu Suowei's face instantly darkened, but he didn't refute.
In contrast, Lu Ziqian's reaction was more intense. He rushed in front of Lu Jinsheng aggressively.
"Shut up! How dare you talk nonsense to the family elders?"
Lu Jinsheng wasn't intimidated by his imposing manner at all. He still looked calm and naturally took Shen Jianyi's hand.
"We've already gotten the marriage certificate. From now on, the young mistress of the Lu family is Shen Jianyi. If you still want me to marry the daughter of the Lin family, I don't mind letting the whole world know about my marriage to Yiyi."
"You!"
Looking at the tense situation between the father and son, Shen Jianyi couldn't help but wonder what deep - seated hatred Lu Jinsheng had with his father that he had to go against him like this.
Could there be some hidden story that she hadn't discovered?
"Ziqian, there's no need to get angry with the child," Lu Suowei stepped forward to smooth things over. "Since things have come to this, let's just accept it. We'll talk to the Lin family nicely."
"Let's go!"
Lu Ziqian was extremely angry. He led a group of people out of the villa in a grand manner. As he passed by Shen Jianyi, Shen Jianyi clearly heard his warning in her ear.
"You'd better behave yourself."
This old man has quite a temper.
Shen Jianyi let out a slight sigh of relief. If it weren't for Lu Jinsheng, she wouldn't have stayed here to endure the disdain of these people.
"Young master, young mistress, the bathroom is ready. You can take a bath now."
Sister Gu in the family came out after hearing the commotion. Her joy was palpable.
Shen Jianyi gave an embarrassed smile. "No, thanks. I've already taken a shower at the hotel."
"You go take a bath. Ask Sister Gu to give you a massage to relax. Her skills are second to none in our family."
After Lu Jinsheng said that, he walked over to the sofa and sat down to drink wine, looking very comfortable.
"Come on, young mistress."
Facing Sister Gu's bright smile, it was hard for Shen Jianyi to say no.
Forget it. Since she was here, she might as well make the best of it. Anyway, Lu Jinsheng was going to use her, so she might as well use him in return.
"This is so comfortable..."
Lying in the comfortable bathtub and enjoying Sister Gu's top - level massage, Shen Jianyi finally understood why so many people were eager to marry into a wealthy family...
"Buzz—buzz—"
The vibration of the phone interrupted Shen Jianyi's daydreaming.
"Hello."
"Hello. This is the police station in Shencheng. Is this Miss Shen?"
Shen Jianyi sat up straight immediately. Why would the police be looking for her?
"This is Shen Jianyi."
"Miss Shen, do you have time tomorrow? We'd like to invite you to the police station."
"What's the matter?"
The hand holding the phone couldn't help but tremble. How she hoped it was news about her sister...
