Three days later.
Shen Jianyi turned on the TV, and the news about the Lu family immediately caught her eye.
"The CEO of China's richest family is suspected of falling ill at home. It's unclear who will take over the family's power!"
"According to reports, Lu Ziqian had already made a will, leaving all his family's heritage to..."
...
Shen Jianyi promptly turned off the TV. The media in Shencheng was still spouting nonsense as usual.
Seeing Shen Jianyi sitting on the sofa, a rare sight, Sister Gu quickly cut some fruits and brewed a cup of tea for her. "Young mistress," she said, "the young master called and said he had prepared a gift for you. It will be delivered soon."
What kind of gift?
Do I still need a gift from him?
Just as Sister Gu finished speaking, the doorbell rang.
Song Miner, another maid in the house, trotted to open the door and took the gift box from the person outside.
"Tell Assistant He that we've received it," Shen Jianyi said.
"Okay," the maid replied and then left immediately.
"Young mistress, this is the gift from the young master. Take a look quickly," Miner said, placing the heavy gift box in front of Shen Jianyi.
Feeling a bit embarrassed under their expectant gazes, Shen Jianyi said with a smile, "Isn't it just something his assistant bought? How can it be called a gift?"
"Young mistress, you're misunderstanding. Assistant He specifically told me that the young master personally selected each item one by one. He just didn't have the time to buy them himself, so Assistant He did the running errands," Sister Gu explained.
"Oh."
When Shen Jianyi opened the thick box, there was a silver silk slip dress inside. The hem of the dress was adorned with glittering diamond fragments. It was clearly a high - end custom - made outfit.
Under the dress, there were several other boxes.
"Let us take them out for you," the maids said.
"Okay."
Miner and Sister Gu were much more excited than Shen Jianyi. After all, their gossipy souls were burning brightly.
The gifts were taken out one by one and placed on the table. Shen Jianyi realized that Lu Jinsheng had created a complete look for her.
A dress that matched her temperament, elegant and tasteful high - heeled shoes, a diamond necklace worth millions, and a pair of matching earrings.
Wearing all these would probably tire her out just walking.
"Young mistress, go and try them on," the maids urged.
"Yes, yes. You'll look so beautiful in them, young mistress!"
Surrounded by the two maids, Shen Jianyi was pushed into the dressing room. After putting on the clothes, she looked extremely dazzling in the mirror.
"Oh my god, you're so beautiful," Miner exclaimed, her mouth hanging open when she saw the young mistress coming out of the dressing room.
She was attracted by the young mistress's unique temperament when she first met her, thinking that there couldn't be anyone more beautiful in the world. But seeing the young mistress dressed up today, Miner thought she was a celestial being, a beauty beyond compare.
"Put on the necklace quickly," Sister Gu said, carefully putting the necklace on Shen Jianyi. Then she stepped back a bit to admire this perfect woman.
"It looks great," a magnetic voice suddenly said. Shen Jianyi's heart skipped a beat. She stiffly looked up and saw Lu Jinsheng standing at the living - room door, looking at her playfully.
Damn it!
Why didn't he make any sound when walking?
In a panic, Shen Jianyi rushed into the dressing room.
She quickly closed the door and leaned against it, gasping for breath. She was so embarrassed. She had never been so ashamed in her life!
While Shen Jianyi was at a loss, she could faintly hear the chatting and laughter outside.
"Young master, your taste is really good," the maids said.
"The young mistress is just like a fairy!"
"Most importantly, the young mistress's temperament perfectly matches the clothes. If it were someone else, they couldn't wear the same kind of beauty as the young mistress..."
A faint smile appeared on Lu Jinsheng's usually cold face. It seemed that his taste was really good.
Shen Jianyi quickly took off the clothes. After giving herself ten minutes of mental preparation, she slowly opened the door of the dressing room.
Sister Gu and Miner were gone.
Great.
Just as Shen Jianyi was about to sneak into her room before anyone saw her, that man rudely appeared in front of her, blocking her way.
"Uncle is going to hold a family gathering on the cruise ship tomorrow. I need you to accompany me," he said.
"Okay," Shen Jianyi replied, lowering her head and walking past him. She still heard the man talking behind her.
"Remember to wear the gift I gave you. It looks very beautiful." His tone was clearly full of pleasure.
She didn't want to say another word to him. She rushed back to her room as if fleeing.
The next day, just as Shen Jianyi was ready, He Yu, whom Lu Jinsheng had sent to pick her up, arrived at the door.
"Where's Lu Jinsheng?" Shen Jianyi asked. As soon as the words left her mouth, she regretted it.
"Madam, Mr. Lu is waiting for you on the cruise ship," He Yu said, lowering his head and not daring to look at the woman in front of him.
No wonder Lu Jinsheng had never taken a fancy to any woman before. After meeting Shen Jianyi, he immediately wanted to marry her.
With such a figure and appearance, even the stars in the entertainment industry might not be able to compare, not to mention her eyes, which were very similar to Lu Jinsheng's mother's.
He Yu drove steadily, and they soon arrived at the dock.
As soon as she got out of the car, Shen Jianyi saw the huge cruise ship.
"Madam, you can go up by yourself. Mr. Lu is waiting for you on the second floor of the cruise ship. There will be someone to guide you when you go up," He Yu said.
"Aren't you going?" Shen Jianyi was a bit confused. He Yu was Lu Jinsheng's personal assistant. She had heard that Lu Jinsheng took him with him for both big and small matters.
"This is a family gathering of the Lu family. Mr. Lu specifically instructed that only family members are allowed to attend. So..."
"I see," Shen Jianyi said, nodding. Then she walked straight onto the cruise ship.
As soon as she stepped onto the cruise ship, the receptionist greeted her. The receptionist's eyes widened slightly when she saw Shen Jianyi.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Lu Jinsheng's wife."
"So you're Mrs. Lu. This way, please. Mr. Lu has been waiting for you on the upper deck for a long time," the receptionist said.
Shen Jianyi followed the receptionist up the stairs. Looking back, she saw the cruise ship setting sail with a whistle. The propellers of the ship churned up white waves on the sea, leaving behind white ripples.
"Mrs. Lu, please come in," the receptionist said.
"Okay."
A familiar figure appeared on the cruise ship. Lu Jinsheng spotted Shen Jianyi at a glance.
The silver body - hugging dress outlined her perfect figure. Her eyes were brighter than the diamonds on her fair neck. Her long black hair was curled into waves, adding a touch of charm to her.
As soon as this beauty appeared on the upper deck of the cruise ship, she immediately caught everyone's attention.
The gazes of the crowd were direct and intense. Seeing that she seemed a bit uneasy, Lu Jinsheng stood up and walked towards her.
"Young mistress, you're finally here," Lu Jinsheng said, wearing a white suit with a unique design and a perfect cut. It was clearly a couple's outfit with what she was wearing.
That man naturally placed her hand on his arm and led her forward under everyone's gazes.
Damn it, he really knew how to show off.
Forcing a smile, Shen Jianyi had to chat with the people on the cruise ship.
