Lin Zhirou's body trembled involuntarily. She lunged at Shen Jianyi's phone like a madwoman.
How could Shen Jianyi let her succeed? She leaned back slightly, dodging Lin Zhirou's outstretched hand.
But Lin Zhirou refused to give up. She pounced on Shen Jianyi frantically.
Until warm blood dripped down her face drop by drop.
"Shen Jianyi!"
Lin Zhirou roared.
In the night, a deep gash was cut across her face by a dagger, and blood kept gushing out of the wound.
When Mother Lin rushed over upon hearing the commotion, Shen Jianyi was already gone from the room.
"Rourou!"
She exclaimed in horror and roared at the rushing servants, "Hurry up and prepare the car to go to the hospital!"
"Mom, it was Shen Jianyi who disfigured my face. It was her!"
Lin Zhirou cried her heart out and was almost on the verge of fainting.
"Rourou, don't be afraid. Let Mom take a look."
Mother Lin gently hugged her and removed her hand. The next second, upon seeing the wound on Lin Zhirou's face, she managed to suppress her shock.
She hugged Lin Zhirou into her arms. "Rourou, don't be afraid. Mom will find someone to treat you. It'll be okay."
She didn't dare let Lin Zhirou see her panic.
The wound was extremely deep. Even if they found the best plastic surgeon, there was a high chance of leaving a scar.
...
Shen Jianyi returned to the Lu family mansion.
Lu Jinsheng was still asleep. She picked up a cloth and slowly wiped the blood off the dagger.
The blood had already cooled down, leaving mottled marks on the blade.
There was a knock on the door.
Sister Gu stood at the door nervously. "Madam, the master has sent people here many times. He wants you to go there immediately."
"Got it."
Shen Jianyi replied indifferently.
It was destined to be a sleepless night. She already had an idea of what that old man Lu Ziqian would say to her.
She changed her clothes, took a look at Lu Jinsheng who was still sleeping soundly, and then left the villa.
In the living room, unexpectedly, only Lu Ziqian was there.
As soon as he saw Shen Jianyi, Lu Ziqian grabbed the teacup beside him and threw it at her fiercely.
With a "bang", the teacup shattered into pieces.
Shen Jianyi didn't even lift her eyelids.
"Shen Jianyi, do you want to make our Lu family the laughingstock of the whole Huaguo?"
Lu Ziqian roared.
Shen Jianyi lifted her eyelids and looked at Lu Ziqian with a cold and expressionless gaze.
She didn't answer his question. Instead, she coldly asked, "Did you drug Lu Jinsheng?"
Lu Ziqian knew he couldn't hide it.
"Yes, I didn't want him to have anything to do with you. But you! Shen Jianyi! Do you have to pester Lu Jinsheng? You did such a shameless thing and still want to enter our Lu family. Don't even think about it!"
He must have been crazy to have agreed to Shen Jianyi and Lu Jinsheng's wedding back then.
"I'm telling you, even if you're the adopted daughter of the Williams couple, our Lu family will never accept a woman like you who is so dirty."
"Watch your mouth."
Shen Jianyi replied indifferently. A faint killing intent flashed in her eyes. "I'm being polite to you now because of Lu Jinsheng. If you continue to slander me without any basis, Lu Ziqian, do you think I'm easy to bully?"
"What did you say?!"
Lu Ziqian stared at her in shock.
Looking into those extremely cold eyes, a chill ran down his back.
"The matter has already reached this point. I'll just tell you straight. Lu Jinsheng is my man. Whether I did those dirty things or not, he knows better than anyone else. If you continue to pester me like this and keep sending people to cause trouble for me, don't blame me for really making your Lu family restless."
She was really fed up.
There was Lin Zhirou outside who clung to her tightly, and then there was Lu Ziqian who was at odds with her.
She still had a bunch of her own problems to deal with. Did she really have to spare time to deal with these little nobodies?
It was really troublesome.
After leaving these words, Shen Jianyi turned around and left.
Rather than wasting more words here, it was better to go back and catch some sleep.
On the way back to the villa, Shen Jianyi saw the girl standing by the long corridor.
She was still wearing a pure white gauze dress like the moon, with a sweet and serene smile on her face.
Shen Jianyi glanced at her and then ignored her directly.
Just as they passed by each other, Lu Yuan's voice rang in her ear.
"Sister-in-law."
Lu Yuan called out obediently. "You had another fight with Dad."
Shen Jianyi stopped in her tracks.
She turned around and looked at Lu Yuan.
"Was it you who put the drug in Lu Jinsheng's wine?"
Lu Yuan tilted her head, blinked her innocent eyes, and said blankly, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? I don't quite understand."
"Whether you understand or not, Lu Yuan, don't get involved in this mess."
For some reason, looking into those clear eyes, Shen Jianyi just couldn't get angry.
She seemed to have no anger towards this girl who looked as pure as a piece of paper.
"Sister-in-law seems to be very special to me?"
Lu Yuan also noticed her strangeness and smiled.
"Aren't you afraid that Dad will make me continue to be against you?"
Shen Jianyi was silent for a moment.
After a while, she said, "I can only forgive you this once."
Lu Yuan lowered her eyelids.
After a moment, she raised her eyes and said with a half-smile, "Then I'll thank sister-in-law."
After saying that, she walked past Shen Jianyi and went straight back to the main building.
Shen Jianyi sighed.
Her hand involuntarily touched her heart.
Had she been away for too long?
How could she be soft-hearted towards a woman of unknown origin now?
This wasn't her style.
...
The next day.
Accompanied by a severe headache, Lu Jinsheng reached out to cover his forehead and groaned in pain.
A hand covered the back of his hand and forcefully pried his hand away. Then a cool sensation came.
"You have a fever."
A familiar voice rang in his ear.
Lu Jinsheng suddenly opened his bloodshot eyes and looked at the extremely beautiful face in front of him in disbelief.
"Yiyi."
"The matter has been resolved. Just lie down and rest."
Shen Jianyi placed the cold towel on his forehead.
"It's nothing serious. Just have a good rest."
There was still the aftereffect of the drug in his body, and coupled with last night's... excessive exercise, he actually had a fever.
"What did I do last night?"
Lu Jinsheng touched his forehead. He couldn't quite remember what had happened yesterday.
Until he saw the bluish-purple marks on Shen Jianyi's neck.
Some ambiguous images flashed through his mind one after another.
"I last night..."
"Yes, someone devoured me last night. Lu Jinsheng, you're quite capable."
Shen Jianyi pushed him angrily.
Thanks to her strong body, otherwise, they might not be able to get out of bed today.
"I'm going out later. I've already told Sister Gu to boil the medicine for you."
