In the classroom, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Lu Jinsheng stared expressionlessly at the last row of the classroom.
Tu Nan sensed something was wrong. The man's overbearing and oppressing gaze made his scalp tingle.
However, due to the teenager's stubbornness and usual arrogance, he refused to show any sign of weakness.
Shen Jianyi didn't want Lu Jinsheng to interfere. She whispered, "Go back."
Lu Jinsheng didn't answer her. Instead, he put his arm around her shoulder and said in a cold voice, "I drove here to pick up my wife from school. Is there a problem?"
Wife?
WIFE!!!
Jian Xiao froze.
Tu Nan froze.
Even Shen Jianyi was stunned by Lu Jinsheng's words.
But after coming to her senses, a never - before - felt sense of being protected welled up in her heart.
"Lu Jinsheng, go back," Shen Jianyi pushed his arm gently and said softly.
Class was about to start. If Lu Jinsheng stayed here any longer, God knew what would happen.
Lu Jinsheng glanced at her and just responded with a grunt.
Then, he seemingly calmly glanced at Tu Nan, and Tu Nan's legs couldn't help but tremble.
He was doomed.
After Lu Jinsheng left, Shen Jianyi wiped the smile off her face.
Jian Xiao was still in a daze when Shen Jianyi walked up to him.
The girl was casually chewing gum. She looked over indifferently, her eyes filled with mockery and contempt.
Jian Xiao felt uncomfortable under her gaze and was about to explain.
But the girl had already spoken. She casually spat out two words. Her voice was soft, but it was loud enough for those nearby to hear.
"Idiot."
Jian Xiao was stunned.
By the time he came to his senses, Shen Jianyi had already turned around, returned to her seat, taken out her books, and was quietly reading as if nothing had happened.
If it weren't for the surprised looks from her classmates, Jian Xiao would have suspected that he had misheard.
Was he just insulted like this?
Without even a chance to retort?
Even Tu Nan, who was always loud - mouthed, heard it, but he was still shaken by Lu Jinsheng's warning and had no intention of speaking up for Jian Xiao.
"Yiyi," Li Qing walked over with her books in her arms, sat down next to Shen Jianyi, and asked curiously, "Is Lu Jinsheng really your husband?"
Shen Jianyi gave her a quick look and ignored her.
When she was being laughed at just now, Li Qing chose to remain silent and didn't help her.
Naturally, she had no reason to maintain a good relationship with her anymore.
...
After today's classes, Lu Jinsheng originally wanted to pick Shen Jianyi up and take her home. But Shen Jianyi received a call from Qin Yue saying that Tian Tian's vacation was over and she wanted to see her.
After thinking about it, she realized that it had been a long time since she last saw this little girl. So she simply told Lu Jinsheng that she was going to Aolin.
"Taking a taxi there by yourself?" Lu Jinsheng asked.
Shen Jianyi was already in the car. "Yes. Don't come to school for the next few days."
Lu Jinsheng looked puzzled.
"Huh?"
Shen Jianyi rolled her eyes helplessly.
This man clearly had no idea about his influence. Just because of his so - called "asserting sovereignty" act at the classroom door today, the whole school was in an uproar.
Her phone was still buzzing non - stop.
"Womanizer," Shen Jianyi dropped these four words, hung up the phone, and then opened the Tsinghua University forum on her phone.
She downloaded it on the first day she came to Tsinghua University as the counselor told her it could help her keep track of school news.
Well, now instead of school news, all she saw were news about Lu Jinsheng.
[I heard that Senior Lu is married. Is it true?]
[Shocking # Lu Jinsheng publicly admitted that he's married. Is the transfer student actually the wealthy tycoon's beloved wife?]
[Breaking news # The young and promising Lu Jinsheng and the petite and cute little loli.]
Seeing the words "little loli", Shen Jianyi's eyebrow twitched. She turned off her phone.
Twenty minutes later, the taxi stopped downstairs at Aolin.
As soon as Shen Jianyi got out of the car, a woman wearing sunglasses walked towards her.
She didn't pay much attention and was about to walk around the woman and enter the building when the woman grabbed her wrist.
"Shen Jianyi, stop right there!"
Only then did she recognize that the woman in front of her was Lin Zhirou.
Lin Zhirou wasn't wearing any makeup. Her usually delicate face was haggard. She took off her sunglasses, and her eyes were blood - red.
She stared daggers at Shen Jianyi. "Shen Jianyi, why do you always have to go against me?!"
Thinking about all the efforts she had made, even going so far as to harm her own body, but in the end, Director Li was sent to jail and would surely face decades in prison.
The second - female - lead role she had fought so hard for was also gone.
After she found out that Director Li had once had contact with Shen Jianyi, her first instinct was that Shen Jianyi and Lu Jinsheng were behind this.
Tracing the clues, she also found out that Shen Jianyi was actually the person in charge of Aolin, and the little model who had snatched the second - female - lead role from her was one of Shen Jianyi's subordinates.
If it weren't for Shen Jianyi deliberately targeting her, she really couldn't think of any other reason!
"Let go," Shen Jianyi said coldly.
Lin Zhirou was so angry that she refused to let go. "Why do you target me? Tell me!"
Shen Jianyi rolled her eyes. Looking at the irrational woman in front of her, she slightly parted her red lips. "Forgot about the time you kidnapped me? And now you're saying all this. Have you no shame?"
"... "
Lin Zhirou's face turned deathly pale with anger.
"However," Shen Jianyi sneered, "I don't have the time to target you. That scumbag Li deserved it. I've been keeping an eye on him for a long time."
Otherwise, why would she have asked Qin Yue to send Tian Tian to the casting for the drama?
"Blame yourself for having poor judgment in people."
Shen Jianyi never expected that a rich girl like Lin Zhirou would do such a ridiculous thing just for a second - female - lead role.
She shook off Lin Zhirou's hand and walked straight into the Aolin building.
Lin Zhirou stood there, her eyes filled with hatred.
...
She returned home in a daze.
When Mother Lin saw her daughter like this, not knowing about the ridiculous things her daughter had done, she thought she was just sad about losing the second - female - lead opportunity. Her heart ached for her.
"Rourou, if this drama doesn't work out, we'll find another one. Mom will find someone for you," Mother Lin coaxed softly.
The words "find someone" were like a landmine going off in Lin Zhirou's heart.
She angrily pushed her mother away and roared, "It's all ruined. You've ruined me. I hate you!"
Mother Lin was caught off guard by the push and didn't know what she had done wrong.
"Rourou, what's wrong with you?"
"It's all ruined! Shen Jianyi, Lu Jinsheng, I'm going to kill you!"
She roared maniacally and cried helplessly, hugging herself.
Mother Lin's eyes also welled up with tears. Ignoring the pain of being pushed away by her daughter, she hugged Lin Zhirou's trembling body.
"Rourou, tell Mom quickly. What on earth happened?"
Lin Zhirou sobbed.
"Mom, help me kill Shen Jianyi. Please help me kill her."
If only Shen Jianyi was dead, she would be happy!
