Just as Lu Jinsheng was about to leave the villa, he saw Lin Zhirou coming from the direction of the main building.
"What are you doing here?"
Lu Jinsheng didn't look happy at all. His face was so gloomy that it seemed ink would drip from it.
Lin Zhirou didn't mind. She curled her lips into a smile. The gorgeous red dress covered the terrifying scars on her legs.
"I'm here to make a deal with you."
Hearing this, Lu Jinsheng glanced at her indifferently.
"Speak straight."
Lin Zhirou looked around and suddenly let out a sneer. "You're not going to talk to me here, are you? Lu Jinsheng, are you sure?"
Lu Jinsheng didn't know what tricks Lin Zhirou was up to, but judging from her manner, it seemed she had something important to talk to him about.
Suddenly, he remembered what Shen Jianyi had said to him, and a strong sense of hostility appeared in his eyes.
Lin Zhirou saw the strange look in his eyes.
But it didn't matter to her. She didn't care anymore.
Ever since Lu Jinsheng ruined her legs and her mother's dignity, she had thrown everything behind her.
Now she had only one goal, which was to ruin Lu Jinsheng and Shen Jianyi.
She followed Lu Jinsheng into the study. It was quiet, as if hiding countless dangers.
"Speak."
Lu Jinsheng pulled out the office chair and sat down.
Lin Zhirou didn't respond to his words. She just stood in front of the desk, staring directly at the man in front of her with extremely venomous eyes.
This was the man she had dreamed of getting since childhood.
She had always constrained herself with the goal of becoming the future young mistress of the Lu family so that she could be worthy of Lu Jinsheng.
But what about this man?
He trampled on her self - esteem, ruined her life, and played the entire Lin family in the palm of his hand. Even when her mother knelt on the ground and begged him, this man remained unmoved.
"Lu Jinsheng, I know you hate me very much."
She sneered and said indifferently.
Lu Jinsheng frowned, finding her words funny.
"Don't your actions towards Yiyi deserve my hatred?"
It was already his mercy that he didn't make the entire Lin family disappear in China.
"Just because of Shen Jianyi, do you have to force our Lin family to this extent?"
Lin Zhirou asked hoarsely.
But before Lu Jinsheng could answer, she burst out laughing. The laughter echoed in the entire study, looking eerie and terrifying.
"But it doesn't matter."
She said to herself, took out a stack of photos from her bag, and threw them in front of Lu Jinsheng.
They were clearly photos of Shen Jianyi and a strange man in a hotel.
"Your Shen Jianyi is having a tryst with another man in a hotel. Lu Jinsheng, how does it feel to wear a cuckold?"
Lu Jinsheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the hideous - faced Lin Zhirou. "So it was you who sent the photos to Lu Ziqian?"
"Yes, I washed them out one by one and sent them to Lu Ziqian's hands, forcing you two to separate. Lu Jinsheng, I want you to marry me. Otherwise, I'll send these photos to major media. Just think about how many people will scold Shen Jianyi then?"
The most direct way she could think of was to occupy the position of the young mistress of the Lu family. Even if Lu Jinsheng didn't love her, she would firmly occupy this position and entangle with Lu Jinsheng for a lifetime.
"You can't get rid of me. Lu Jinsheng, I will never let you and Shen Jianyi be together in this lifetime."
Lu Jinsheng raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Lin Zhirou with a strange look.
This woman was extremely stupid.
If it weren't for the fear that she might still have the negatives of those photos, he thought he would have snapped her neck without hesitation.
"Is it worth sacrificing your whole life just to take revenge on Yiyi and me?"
He didn't quite understand her train of thought.
"Definitely."
Lin Zhirou sneered. "I'm going to marry into your Lu family and make all those who laughed at our Lin family regret it. I'm going to make you and Shen Jianyi regret it. Lu Jinsheng, all this is what you and Shen Jianyi owe me."
"Let me think about it."
There was no expression on Lu Jinsheng's face.
Now that he knew who the mastermind was, this matter would be much simpler.
To avoid arousing Lin Zhirou's suspicion, Lu Jinsheng didn't show that he was too relaxed.
"If you don't announce this before the end of the banquet tonight, the photos in my hand will be directly sent to major media. You know I mean what I say."
After saying this, Lin Zhirou turned around and left.
Lu Jinsheng sneered, took out his phone, and made a call.
"Help me check the Lin family to see if you can find the negatives of those photos."
Mo Yun on the other end of the phone didn't dare to be negligent and immediately took the order to do it.
After a while, Lu Jinsheng left the study.
As soon as he arrived at the banquet hall of the main building, Lu Yuan walked over with a glass of red wine.
"Brother, everyone is waiting for you."
She handed the red wine in her hand to Lu Jinsheng.
Many people on the scene were paying attention to them. After thinking for a while, Lu Jinsheng finally couldn't bear to disappoint his younger sister. He took the wine and took a sip.
He looked around the venue. He didn't see Shen Jianyi's figure, but he saw Xia Liang.
He walked over quickly.
"Where's Yiyi?"
Xia Liang grumbled angrily, "Aren't you looking for a wife? Why are you looking for Yiyi?"
Hearing the resentment in her words and considering her close relationship with Shen Jianyi, Lu Jinsheng could only answer helplessly, "I have something to talk to her about."
He called Shen Jianyi, but no one answered.
Xia Liang shook her head. "She just said she had something to do, so she left early."
The two talked for a few words, but in the eyes of others, it was interpreted differently.
"Is the Lu family going to form an alliance with the Xia family through marriage?"
"The young lady of the Xia family and Lu Jinsheng seem quite well - matched. They're really a good match in terms of family background."
"Yeah, but I still think the Lin family is more likely..."
Xia Liang heard those discussions keenly.
She panicked and subconsciously distanced herself from Lu Jinsheng. Then she turned around and left.
Unexpectedly, someone walked over from behind. She bumped into that person with a "pop".
All the champagne in her hand spilled on that person's clothes.
"Why don't you watch where you're going?"
An impatient voice sounded.
Jian Xiao helplessly patted the water stains on his clothes and glared at the little girl in front of him, who only reached his chest, slightly annoyed.
She was wearing a strapless evening dress. Her pink and carved face was puffed up, as if she was angry, just like a little puffer fish.
"I'm the one who watched the road! You bumped into me too!"
Xia Liang was also angry and retorted directly.
She stared fiercely at the boy in front of her, who looked like a minor, and waved her fist. "Get out of my way quickly. My fist is not a joke."
Jian Xiao stared blankly at her, as if in a trance, and stood stupidly in front of Xia Liang.
It wasn't until Xia Liang made an impatient "tsk" sound that he came back to his senses.
"Sorry, I didn't do it on purpose."
Changing his previous annoyance, Jian Xiao scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.
Xia Liang was really annoyed by him. She directly reached out and pushed him aside. "If you're sorry, then get out of the way. Don't block my path."
She had to stay far away from Lu Jinsheng. Otherwise, if it got to her master's ears, it would be embarrassing.
