Shen Jianyi dragged her aching body and barely stood beside the bed. She reached out and took out her phone from the drawer to check the messages.
On the screen, it showed that one person had quit the mission to assassinate Gun. She clicked in and found it was Tiger, who had provoked her yesterday.
So the guy ranked seventh only had such a gut. He had turned into a coward even before the operation started.
A mocking smile curved on her lips. Then she saw that another person had joined the mission -
Hongxiu, ranked third.
Unexpectedly, Hongxiu was also eyeing Gun covetously. She helplessly put the phone back into the drawer. It seemed that it would really take a lot of effort to protect Gun this time.
Just as she was about to leave the room, the phone vibrated again.
She frowned and turned on the screen.
The message was from Hongxiu. Shen Jianyi clicked on the chat page.
Hongxiu: [Red Fox, do you have time to talk about the mission? Just you and me.]
"..."
It seemed that everyone was eyeing this money closely. Shen Jianyi gently touched the screen with her fingertip and quickly typed a few words.
[3 p.m., Chaoyang Street Coffee Shop]
Originally, Shen Jianyi wanted to meet Hongxiu in a bar. After all, that was the most suitable place to gather and chat. But thinking of what happened last night, Shen Jianyi involuntarily touched her waist. It really hurt like hell.
The sound of someone turning the doorknob came from the bedroom door. She neatly put away the phone, took a quick step and got back into the quilt, pretending to have just woken up.
It was Lu Jinsheng who opened the door and came in. He was dressed in a suit and wearing a pair of gold - rimmed glasses.
Under the glasses, his phoenix eyes had upturned tails. When he saw the woman in the bed, he showed a smug smile: "Yiyi, were you satisfied last night?"
Shen Jianyi blushed with shame and threw the back pillow at him. He casually caught it.
"Do you still have the nerve to mention last night?"
Lu Jinsheng knelt on the bed on one knee, stared at her sleepy face and teased: "Does your waist hurt?"
"Stop it!"
"Or shall we try again?"
"..."
"Okay, if you're really not up for it, I'll give you the initiative this time!"
"..." Lu Jinsheng!
He made the woman blush to the extreme. She got into the quilt and curled up into a small ball.
"You're going too far."
When Lu Jinsheng left the bed, the bed surface obviously rose a bit. He straightened his tie and said gently: "Yiyi, don't go to school today. Just stay at home and have a good rest. I'll pick you up and take you somewhere tonight."
Shen Jianyi then poked her head out, her eyes shining with anticipation: "Where are we going?"
"It's a secret."
Shen Jianyi: "..."
This dog man was getting better and better at whetting her appetite. He was really a pain!
"I'm leaving first." Lu Jinsheng pushed the door and was about to go out. "Sister Gu has prepared breakfast. Go downstairs and eat it. You must drink that glass of milk."
Shen Jianyi sat up, pouting: "Why are you acting like an old woman? Do all the people in your company know about this?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the man turned back and gently kissed her on the lips, scoffing: "If you want them to know, you can come to the company with me."
Hearing this, Shen Jianyi's furry head shook back and forth like a rattle. "Forget it then."
Lu Jinsheng left the villa.
She didn't get up immediately but stayed in bed for a long time. Finally, she got up reluctantly after hearing Sister Gu calling her.
Shen Jianyi sat at the dining table in a daze. She took a couple of bites casually and then lost her appetite.
Sister Gu seemed to be tidying up something beside her. When she passed by, she smiled at Shen Jianyi and said: "Young Mistress, have you made up with the Young Master?"
"Yeah, we've made up."
Sister Gu let out a sigh of relief: "That's good. I saw the Young Master and the Young Lady go out together this morning."
Shen Jianyi, who was drinking milk, immediately became agitated when she heard this. She put the cup on the table, suddenly raised her head, stared at Sister Gu and questioned: "What did you say?"
Sister Gu was startled and repeated it again.
"Is he crazy!"
So while she was lying in the bedroom this morning, Lu Yuan was still waiting for Lu Jinsheng in the living room. These two were really something.
Shen Jianyi got extremely angry and got up to go outside. Sister Gu scratched the back of her head and looked at Uncle Li beside her in confusion. "Did I say something wrong?"
Uncle Li said helplessly: "When will you ever be able to control your mouth? The Young Lady and the Young Master are not blood - related. Can't you figure out why the Young Mistress is in such a hurry to go out?"
"Ouch!" Sister Gu slapped her hands. "Look at my brain. How could I forget about this?"
"Hey, Young Mistress..."
By the time Sister Gu chased out, Shen Jianyi had already driven away.
...
In the Lu's conference room.
Rows of senior executives had already taken their seats, waiting for Lu Jinsheng's arrival. Even the chairman, Lu Ziqian, had already arrived.
Lu Jinsheng then slowly opened the door and walked in. Looking at everyone, he sat down expressionlessly in his own seat.
From beginning to end, Lu Ziqian's expression when looking at him was extremely unpleasant, as if he was holding back a bellyful of anger.
Before Lu Ziqian could speak, Lu Suowei looked concerned. "Jinsheng, have you encountered something? Why did you come so late?"
He raised his head and chuckled: "Oh, it's okay. I just got up late."
Lu Ziqian couldn't hold back his anger and shouted at the top of his voice: "Lu Jinsheng, can you act like a decent person?"
"If you weren't here, I wouldn't be like this either."
Early in the morning, someone from the main building had come to ask him to come to the group for a meeting. Didn't he know what Lu Ziqian was up to? On the surface, he had accepted Shen Jianyi, but in fact, he had his own plans.
Lu Jinsheng was also in a bad mood now and didn't even want to look at him directly.
Lu Ziqian frowned. "I've discussed with your uncle. We plan to let you take a good rest at home for a while. Your work will be temporarily taken over by your sister."
Hearing this, Lu Jinsheng slapped the table and stood up. "What did you say? Are you crazy?"
Was he really brainless or had he been brainwashed? Handing over his work to someone who had no blood relation with the Lu family at all. Wouldn't this just fall into Lu Suowei's trap?
They had been eyeing the company's shares covetously and must have already made up their minds.
Now they were instigating Lu Ziqian to let him go home and rest. Leaving aside Lu Yuan's relationship with the Lu family, as a girl, it would be a piece of cake for Lu Suowei to control her.
Lu Ziqian was being used by others and still speaking for them.
"Jinsheng, I just want to prove to you that Shen Jianyi is just a woman who is purely coveting your wealth. As long as you have no money, she will immediately break her promise and stay far away from you."
Lu Jinsheng snorted: "Don't waste your effort. Yiyi is definitely not such a person."
Shen Jianyi didn't lack money at all. How could she be like what Lu Ziqian had said.
Just as they were arguing, He Yu knocked on the door and came in. His gaze fell on Lu Suowei, paused for a few seconds and then slowly said: "Young Master Lu, your wife is waiting for you in your office. She asked me to convey that if she doesn't see you within two minutes, she'll never have anything to do with you again."
