"Student Shen Jianyi..." Shen Jiayu hesitated for a moment but still followed up. His handsome face was full of uneasiness.
He didn't dare to get too close, fearing that Shen Jianyi would get angry.
She was always so cold to him. However, despite this, he knew that she was actually a warm - hearted person with a cold exterior. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come to his rescue on the basketball court back then.
"Hmm?" Shen Jianyi stopped reluctantly, raising her eyebrows. "Just say what you want."
She really didn't like Shen Jiayu's hesitant personality. It seemed necessary for her to remind Qin Yue to help cultivate his character.
With such a personality, even if he entered the entertainment industry, he was likely to be bullied.
Shen Jiayu's face flushed red. He took out an envelope from his bag.
"Next Monday, we have a play. This is my first performance, so I'd like to invite you to come and watch."
He knew she would come to school today, so he had been waiting at the school gate for a long time.
Shen Jianyi lowered her eyes, glanced at the envelope in his hand, pursed her lips, and finally took it.
"Got it."
"Um—" Shen Jiayu hadn't finished his words.
"Yiyi."
Not far away, the door of the black luxury car opened, and a tall man stepped out. His handsome face was like that of a god.
Lu Jinsheng looked at the two people in the distance with a gloomy expression. He walked over quickly, directly ignoring Shen Jiayu. He took the schoolbag on Shen Jianyi's back and also took the envelope in her hand.
"Why did you come out so late? Tired?"
He affectionately ruffled Shen Jianyi's hair as if there was no one else around.
"Oh, it was the rehearsal for the school anniversary." Shen Jianyi said calmly, allowing him to show their intimacy openly.
Shen Jiayu felt ignored. He nervously rubbed the corner of his clothes, forcing a smile on his face. "Then I'll leave first, Mr. Lu, Jianyi. I'm leaving."
Shen Jianyi nodded slightly and naturally took Lu Jinsheng's hand, leading the way.
After getting into the car, Lu Jinsheng's face visibly darkened. He looked at the red gilded envelope in his hand, his thin lips tightly pressed.
Mo Yun in the front seat also noticed Lu Jinsheng's strange mood and didn't say a word. He skillfully started the car and drove away from Tsinghua University.
On the way back, Lu Jinsheng didn't say a word. Shen Jianyi propped her chin with her hand. At first, she pretended not to notice, but when Lu Jinsheng's face turned so dark that it seemed to drip ink, she couldn't help laughing.
"Lu Jinsheng, why are you jealous?"
She took the envelope, took out a ticket from it.
"It's his play performance. What did you think it was? A love letter?"
Lu Jinsheng arrogantly lifted his chin. "Who knows what it is?"
Although he said so, his complexion had improved a lot.
"That brat likes you."
He said sullenly, with a bit of gritted - teeth anger.
"I'm his half - boss."
Although Shen Jiayu had signed a contract with Lu Weiran's company and became an artist under him, his contract with Olin was still valid.
"Does anyone stipulate that a subordinate can't like their boss?"
Lu Jinsheng was being a bit stubborn.
God knows when he saw that brat following Yiyi in the car, he really wanted to send Mo Yun to grab him and throw him into the sea.
Shen Jianyi turned her head, looking at Lu Jinsheng with her bright eyes. After a long while, she burst out laughing.
"What are you doing? You're so childish."
She reached out and rubbed Lu Jinsheng's face.
Such a Lu Jinsheng seemed quite cute.
When they got back to the Lu family, Lu Jinsheng's face was still not looking good. Shen Jianyi just let him throw his tantrum, but by night, Lu Jinsheng couldn't maintain it anymore.
After all, who could resist a little vixen wearing a spaghetti - strap nightgown and riding on his waist?
He even thought that maybe it wasn't so bad to be jealous once in a while?
...
In the following days, every time school was over, Shen Jianyi was pulled by Lu Yuan for training. Besides the training, she also had to contact Lynn Jin. She was extremely busy.
As for Lu Jinsheng, he also seemed very busy. He always came back late at night.
Finally, the weekend came, and she didn't have to go to school. Shen Jianyi secretly contacted Xia Liang and made an appointment to meet at a coffee shop.
At 3 p.m., Shen Jianyi dressed up in disguise, pulled her black baseball cap low, and went to the coffee shop as promised.
Xia Liang was already waiting there.
Having not seen her for a few days, Xia Liang had obviously lost a lot of weight. Her originally chubby face had become thinner, making her eyes look even bigger.
"Master."
As soon as she saw Shen Jianyi, Xia Liang was full of grievances. "Where have you been these days? Look at me, I'm almost going gray with worry."
Xia Liang ruffled her hair and seriously showed it to Shen Jianyi.
In front of Shen Jianyi, she was still that little girl who wanted to vent her grievances, even though she was now the president of the Xia family worth billions.
"What, not used to being too rich?"
Shen Jianyi lazily sat on the sofa, her tone teasing.
"Come on."
Xia Liang pouted. "You don't know how many things there are to do in such a big company. I'm so busy every day that my feet don't touch the ground. I don't know about my dad—"
Saying this, Xia Liang suddenly closed her mouth, a trace of loneliness flashing in her eyes.
Shen Jianyi was also silent.
After that incident, Old Master Xia voluntarily went to a private nursing home and moved out of the Xia family. Xia's father and mother still had a bit of conscience. They didn't object to Old Master Xia handing over the Xia family to Xia Liang, but they also didn't have the face to face Xia Liang. So the two of them went abroad for a trip.
The originally harmonious family now only had Xia Liang left, managing the huge family fortune alone.
"By the way, Master, there's a very important thing I need to tell you."
Xia Liang returned to normal. She seriously took out a USB drive from her bag and handed it to Shen Jianyi.
"Before you disappeared, you asked me to keep an eye on the recent developments in Shanghai. Recently, more and more companies have been using chips, but we still can't find the person behind it. However, I've found out something very important."
Now, except for a few large - scale companies, almost all other small enterprises are involved in this aspect.
Xia Liang took out a laptop, plugged in the USB drive, and quickly retrieved some data. She pointed it out to Shen Jianyi.
"After the orders are completed, those chips are mailed to each buyer. I traced those mailing clues and found that they led to an underground factory. The boss of the factory..." Xia Liang paused, as if hesitating whether to say it or not.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Jianyi keenly noticed her abnormality.
Xia Liang pursed her red lips and finally told the investigated information.
"The boss of the factory is related to the Lu family. His name seems to be Lu Ming."
Lu Ming?!
Shen Jianyi was slightly stunned.
The face of that somewhat introverted and gloomy man emerged in her mind.
He was the son of Lu Suowei!
She was sure that Xia Liang wouldn't joke about this!
Shen Jianyi took the laptop and quickly flipped through the data in it.
