At 7 p.m. in the evening, at the Lu Family Mansion.
The huge villa was brightly lit, and the red carpet stretched from the door all the way into the house.
The parking lot outside the black carved iron gate was filled with luxury cars. Countless reporters surrounded the mansion, carrying cameras in their hands, and the sound of camera shutters kept buzzing.
Today was the day when the Lu family was hosting a banquet.
Not long ago, the head of the Lu family had just celebrated his 60th birthday. Now, just a few days later, they were holding another banquet.
The main purpose of this banquet was actually to select a future wife for that prodigy, Lu Jinsheng.
They all wanted to get the first - hand information, so they came early and staked out the place.
At this moment, Lu Jinsheng was sitting in his bedroom somewhat irritably.
He was wearing a well - tailored black suit, which made him look tall, straight and noble. However, his eyebrows were filled with impatience.
Even though the villa was located in the innermost part of the mansion, he could still hear the noisy sounds and laughter coming from outside.
Lu Jinsheng felt the veins on his forehead throbbing.
Until the phone on the desk started buzzing.
Seeing the caller ID, the frown on Lu Jinsheng's face gradually relaxed, and a smile appeared on his lips.
He answered the phone.
"Yiyi."
"Xia Liang and I are already on our way."
Shen Jianyi's cold voice came from the receiver.
"Okay."
Lu Jinsheng replied, "Are you sure she will act tonight?"
"Yes."
Shen Jianyi said coldly.
That person had directly sent the photos to Lu Ziqian, clearly targeting her, the young mistress of the Lu family.
If she couldn't hold the position of the young mistress of the Lu family, that person would surely be unable to hold back and would take the initiative to approach Lu Jinsheng, trying to replace her.
After the two of them exchanged a few simple greetings, Shen Jianyi was about to hang up the phone.
Lu Jinsheng said somewhat resentfully, "Why don't you say you miss me?"
"..."
Shen Jianyi's face suddenly turned red. She tugged at the skirt on her body uncomfortably, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Not getting a response, Lu Jinsheng was even more unhappy.
"I haven't slept well for several days."
He couldn't fall asleep without her by his side.
Shen Jianyi sighed inwardly.
If he couldn't sleep, how could she?
"We'll solve this matter tonight."
Unconsciously, she lowered her voice and said softly.
Only then did Lu Jinsheng curl his lips slightly: "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Jianyi touched the human - skin mask on her face and then looked at herself in the mirror.
Vivian's disguise technique was indeed second to none in the world.
Not only could others not recognize her, but even she herself was stunned when looking at herself.
In the mirror, her whole face was covered by the human - skin mask, and her original appearance could not be seen. Her nose was a bit flatter, and her lips were much thicker.
Her waist - length hair was also covered, and it had become ear - length short hair.
At first glance, she was the kind of person who would disappear into the crowd.
Not attracting attention was exactly the effect she wanted.
"Master, let's go."
Xia Liang said.
Shen Jianyi responded and pushed open the car door. By accident, she bumped into someone.
"Sorry."
She got out of the car and said to the man who had been hit by the car door.
The man lowered his head and tidied his clothes.
"It's okay."
Zhong Jin looked up and suddenly met a pair of cold and bright eyes.
Those eyes overlapped with the ones in his memory.
However, the appearance of the person in front of him was completely different from that person.
Zhong Jin stared blankly at her and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Shen Jianyi didn't expect to bump into Zhong Jin so coincidentally.
Seeing that he was always staring at her, Shen Jianyi shifted her gaze, bypassed his body, and pulled Xia Liang away directly.
"Zhong Jin, what are you looking at?"
Jian Xi chased after him from behind.
She was dressed very eye - catchingly today. She was wearing a bright red dress like fire, and her curly hair was draped over her chest. However, it was still hard to hide the scenery on her chest.
But she wasn't dressing up for Lu Jinsheng.
Looking at the outstanding man in front of her, Jian Xi wrapped her arm around his and followed his line of sight to the woman in the white dress in front. A hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.
Zhong Jin came back to his senses and shook his head with a wry smile: "It's nothing. I mistook her for someone else."
"Then let's go in quickly."
Jian Xi curled her lips, but the next second, the smile on her face froze.
Zhong Jin pulled his arm out of her hand. There was still a gentle smile on his face, but his words were merciless: "Jian Xi, others may misunderstand if you do this. It's not good for your reputation."
"Zhong Jin, don't you understand what I mean?"
Jian Xi forced a smile. Her charming eyes looked at the man in front of her. "Isn't what I've done obvious enough?"
"Jian Xi, I regard you as my younger sister."
Zhong Jin said gently, but his words were like ice stabbing into Jian Xi's heart.
"Sister?"
Jian Xi sneered. In a fit of pique, she couldn't help but question: "What about Shen Jianyi? What do you regard her as?"
Unexpectedly, Jian Xi would suddenly mention Shen Jianyi. The smile on Zhong Jin's face disappeared.
"I don't understand what you mean."
"Really?" Jian Xi snorted. "Last time in the suburban villa, I noticed something strange in your eyes when you looked at her. Zhong Jin, a woman like that is not worthy of Lu Jinsheng, let alone you. Don't be bewitched by her looks!"
"I'm not bewitched. Jian Xi, watch your words."
Zhong Jin said coldly.
At this moment, he had completely stopped smiling. His well - defined face was tense, and a cold aura was emanating from his body.
Jian Xi looked at him in surprise.
This was the first time she had seen Zhong Jin like this.
He had always been a gentle and jade - like man. Even when encountering the biggest of things, he had never lost his temper.
But this time, he actually said such words to her for the sake of Shen Jianyi?
"You're really hopeless."
Jian Xi was extremely heart - broken.
She left this sentence and turned around to leave.
As for Shen Jianyi, she didn't even know that because of Zhong Jin's one - sided love, she had caused herself a lot of trouble.
She and Xia Liang entered the Lu Family Mansion. They looked around the garden but didn't see Lu Jinsheng.
However... it wasn't a complete waste of time.
"Master, isn't that Lin Zhirou who caused trouble for you last time? How dare she show up?"
Xia Liang said angrily.
"The Lin family was the most likely to form a marriage alliance with the Lu family before. Now that I've been rejected, they definitely won't give up this opportunity."
Shen Jianyi replied indifferently.
She quietly sized up Lin Zhirou's side.
Lin Zhirou didn't even notice the disguised Shen Jianyi. She was dressed extremely pure today and was talking gracefully with the people around her.
Then, she glanced in the direction of the villa, and a glint of darkness flashed in her eyes.
Soon, she whispered a few words to the people around her. When no one was paying attention, she quickly ran towards the villa.
