On the stage, the distance between the two people seemed as vast as the Pacific Ocean. Shen Jianyi wished she could stand off the stage.
Firstly, she was worried that people might randomly pair her up with someone because of this. After all, Shen Jiayu was working in the entertainment industry. Secondly, she wanted to avoid being cursed by so many people.
She thought this whole thing was just boring.
It was obvious that the girls in the audience looked more and more unhappy, but she didn't really care. She continued to look straight ahead, not afraid at all.
The woman's eyes were cold. When playing such a sweet love song, there was no ripple in her heart.
While they were performing on the stage, people in the audience were complaining.
In the crowd, there was a figure that stood out.
The girl was wearing a light yellow dress and sitting in a middle - of - the - row seat. Her long black hair was tied up in a high ponytail, and her fair cheeks were a bit flushed from the sun.
Even so, her gaze remained firm and never left Shen Jianyi from beginning to end.
Lu Yuan didn't expect that they were actually alive and kicking. Shen Jianyi was really bold. Now the Lu family was looking for the two of them everywhere, yet she could appear here openly.
However, for Lu Yuan, this was also good news. As long as Shen Jianyi was okay, it meant that Lu Jinsheng was also safe.
Lu Yuan took out her phone, zoomed in the camera, took a photo of Shen Jianyi, and sent it to Lu Jinsheng using that unfamiliar number. Then she turned off the phone and continued to watch their performance.
...
At this moment.
Lu Jinsheng had arrived at the company. He went straight to the top floor. As soon as he got off the elevator, he saw Lu Suowei whispering something to his secretary beside him.
The secretary saw Lu Jinsheng first. He shivered, and then Lu Suowei's words seemed to fade away.
"What are you thinking about?" Lu Suowei frowned. He noticed the secretary's absent - mindedness and was a bit dissatisfied. "If you don't even want to listen to what I say, you don't need to work here anymore."
Just as the secretary was about to say something, the man behind took a few steps forward. He put his hands in his pockets, and there was a hint of hostility in his eyes. It was hard to tell his mood.
The man's dark eyes were as calm as a still pool in the abyss, showing no signs of emotion.
Lu Suowei was startled and took several steps back. His back hit the trash can. He stared wide - eyed, suspecting that he was seeing things.
After confirming that the person standing in front of him was indeed Lu Jinsheng, who had been pushed off a high - rise building some time ago, he swallowed hard and could hardly believe it. "Lu Jinsheng, you're still alive?"
As soon as the words came out, Lu Suowei realized that he had said something wrong. He quickly tried to fix it. "Jinsheng, since you're okay now, why didn't you come back earlier? Your father is still lying in the hospital."
But Lu Jinsheng didn't hear the second half of the sentence at all. He walked up to Lu Suowei. The two were very close. He bent down and said softly with his thin lips slightly parted, "Why, Uncle, do you really hope I'd fall and die?"
Lu Suowei forced a smile. His forehead was covered with sweat. He was very nervous, and even his movements became unnatural.
Facing Lu Jinsheng's powerful pressure, he actually felt threatened. The secretary beside him wanted to come up and help, but was stopped by a glance from Lu Jinsheng.
Although he had jumped off the building voluntarily, there might be a conspiracy behind it by Lu Suowei. Just like Xu Wenji, it was very likely that he was sent by Lu Suowei.
"Jinsheng, what are you talking about?" Lu Suowei tried his best to excuse himself. "Uncle of course hopes you're safe. Now that I see you standing here intact, Uncle is happy too."
If he was really happy, the sun would rise from the west. Before his appearance, the situation of the company might be exactly what Lu Suowei wanted.
Although Lu Yuan held the power to control the company, she was just a girl with no experience. She could be easily used by Lu Suowei.
Lu Ziqian was still in bed because of this incident. No one knew when he would be able to get out of the hospital. The whole company was handed over to Lu Suowei. His plan was really perfect.
It was a pity that Lu Jinsheng was still alive. He was probably going to be disappointed.
"Uncle, since I'm back, the Lu Group was originally under my father's control. Now it should be handed over to me. You don't have to worry about it."
Lu Suowei's expression was extremely ugly. He trembled a bit, coughed a few times, and pretended not to hear.
"Jinsheng, you should go to the hospital and see your father. If he knows you're still alive, he'll surely get better right away."
"Don't try to change the subject!" Lu Jinsheng didn't buy it at all. He cornered Lu Suowei. "You know exactly what I want."
Lu Suowei never thought that one day he would be threatened by Lu Jinsheng. He was really ruthless, completely inheriting Lu Ziqian's character.
Fighting against him head - on now would surely bring no good. If he wanted to truly take control of the Lu Group, he had to make Lu Ziqian completely disappear. By that time, Lu Jinsheng, a young man, would be much easier to deal with.
Under such coercion, he nodded and agreed. "Okay, I'll sort out the current projects and hand them over to you now. Wait for me in the office."
Only then did Lu Jinsheng let him go. Watching Lu Suowei's flustered back, a smug smile curved his thin lips. This Lu Suowei was ambitious but incompetent. That was his most fatal flaw.
"Ding──"
The phone rang. Lu Jinsheng took it out of his pocket and saw that it was the same unfamiliar number again. This time, it was a text message with a picture.
The picture showed a man and a woman. The man was tall and straight, wearing a black suit that made him look very formal. He was holding a microphone as if he was singing.
The woman in the picture was wearing a bright red long dress. The split fishtail design showed off her sexy and charming figure. Frowning, Lu Jinsheng tightened his grip on the phone when he saw this woman.
Wasn't Shen Jianyi supposed to go to the company? Why did she go to the school... and be with this man?
Lu Jinsheng, who had originally planned to go to the office, immediately changed his mind. If he had to choose between the company and Shen Jianyi, he would definitely choose Shen Jianyi without hesitation.
Lu Jinsheng turned around and left without even saying a word to Lu Suowei. The secretary beside him didn't even react. By the time he came to his senses, Lu Jinsheng had already got on the elevator.
The elevator door slowly closed. The secretary was so anxious that he pressed the button, but it was too late.
"Mr. Lu, where are you going? Don't you want to look at the documents?"
Lu Jinsheng was expressionless. His voice was cold and full of danger. "Leave them in the office. I'll look at them when I come back."
