The content on the screen caught everyone's attention. Almost all their gazes were fixed on those photos.
Many of the photos were public pictures of Lu Jinsheng, while some were secretly taken by Lan Xi. Along with the music, came Lan Xi's voice confessing her love to Lu Jinsheng.
Those cheesy words made one's scalp tingle and sent shivers down the spine, but to Lu Jinsheng, they meant nothing.
He continued to stand there, his expression remaining unchanged from beginning to end, until the music stopped and the last photo had been shown.
Lan Xi had gone to the backstage to control the show, so she had no idea that Shen Jianyi had already arrived. At this moment, holding a cake in her hands and wearing a beautiful evening dress, she was walking towards Lu Jinsheng step by step.
It was not until she stood in front of the man and was about to blurt out her innermost feelings that she turned her head and saw the beautiful woman standing beside him.
At this moment, Shen Jianyi was smiling meaningfully at her with a hooked lip and couldn't help but clap her hands. "This is really interesting. I didn't expect Miss Lan to like a married man so much?"
Almost everyone in the circle knew that Lu Jinsheng was married. But they also knew that Second Master Lu didn't like Shen Jianyi, and many people wanted them to separate. Therefore, such events were often organized, and everyone was quite used to this kind of scene.
The Lu family's relationships were originally complex. Even so, many aristocratic families were eager to marry into it.
Everyone seemed to be hostile towards Shen Jianyi, a woman with no background, and looked down on her. But unfortunately, Shen Jianyi simply didn't care. She had come today just to watch the fun.
Lan Xi was startled. Her trembling body staggered backward, and the cake slipped from her hands and fell to the ground. Her dilated pupils stared at the woman in front of her in disbelief.
"You... How did you come here?" Lan Xi pointed at her. At this moment, she didn't care about her upbringing anymore. "I'm sure I didn't invite you."
Just then, Xia Liang, who had just found a parking space, rushed over in a hurry. She gasped for breath and smiled innocently with her curved eyebrows. "I brought her here. You sent me an invitation."
Lan Xi was stunned.
She kept backing away until her back hit the table. "You... Are you playing tricks on me?"
Facing her panic, Xia Liang stuck out her tongue at her. "No, no one is playing tricks on you!" Her tone was playful. "It's just that what you've done is despicable. Mr. Lu is a married man. It's not appropriate for you to confess your love in public, is it?"
After this incident, the Lan family members rushed to control the situation and wanted the aristocratic guests to leave quickly.
But once Lan Xi's surprise began, it couldn't be stopped. The emcee she had specially hired was holding a tray with a small and delicate box on it. He walked up to Lu Jinsheng.
Everyone was curious about what was inside the box. Some even thought it was a proposal ring, feeling that the eldest daughter of the Lan family was really capable of anything.
These people didn't recognize the emcee, but Shen Jianyi saw clearly that it was Xu Wenji who had appeared here.
Her eyes froze for a moment. Her thick and curly eyelashes fluttered like two small brushes. Shen Jianyi tried her best to suppress the restlessness in her heart. Her first reaction was to block Xia Liang to prevent Xu Wenji from noticing.
"Go quickly. He hasn't seen you yet." Shen Jianyi lowered her voice. She was speaking to the girl behind her.
Xia Liang didn't hesitate either. Instead of worrying about Shen Jianyi's safety here, she might as well think about herself. She was quite capable, and few people could hurt her. Moreover, there was Lu Jinsheng to protect Shen Jianyi, so she didn't need to think too much.
Without saying a word, she bent down and left the hall.
From beginning to end, Xu Wenji didn't look at what was happening over there. He raised his eyebrows, and a mocking arc appeared on his lips, as if he was declaring war on Shen Jianyi.
Shen Jianyi quickly calmed down. She was already thinking about how to deal with this matter.
He brought the tray in front of Lu Jinsheng, but was blocked aside by Shen Jianyi. She glanced at it with a cold look in her eyes. "Take this thing away. We don't need it."
Xu Wenji deliberately lowered his voice. "Are you sure you don't want to open it and take a look?"
"I'm not opening it!"
Xu Wenji said softly, "Then you'll regret it."
"..."
Although she didn't know what was inside, opening it here was definitely not the best choice.
Then, Xu Wenji seemed to have gone crazy. He turned around and stood on the highest point of the platform. He threw the tray in his hand on the ground, held the delicate small box, and showed the contents inside to everyone.
Inside the delicate box, it wasn't a proposal ring, nor was it something to witness the love between two people. Instead, it was a chip shining with white light.
At that moment, Shen Jianyi's eyes trembled slightly. It was an expression change that others couldn't notice, but soon she returned to her original state, because - this chip was fake.
Shen Jianyi dared to bet that Xu Wenji didn't have the courage to put the real chip in here and give it to Lu Jinsheng.
Xu Wenji was really like a shadow that haunted her. His presence could be felt everywhere.
It seemed that Lan Xi didn't know about this either. She turned around with wide - open eyes, and even her voice was a bit unsteady. "What is this? Where's the ring I gave you?"
It seemed that everyone had guessed right. What Lan Xi had originally prepared was indeed a ring.
Shen Jianyi wasn't interested in these things. No matter what actions Xu Wenji took later, for her, it was an active provocation. Since it was an active one, he couldn't possibly take out the real thing.
Xu Wenji pretended to be innocent. "I don't know either. But when someone gave it to me, they said that the chip inside was very useful. If you got it... your status could soar by eight figures!"
"Nonsense!" Lan Xi was so angry about everything that happened today. "It's just a useless chip."
But Xu Wenji simply ignored Lan Xi and shouted loudly, "Well, Mrs. Lu, do you want to know about it?"
The hand that was holding Shen Jianyi's tightened more and more. Presumably, the other person was afraid that she would be too sensitive to this chip and thus lose her judgment.
But at this moment, Shen Jianyi really showed no emotional fluctuations. She turned her head in confusion. "What does this have to do with me? Miss Lan, whether you're looking for a boyfriend or hiring someone in the future, you'd better keep your eyes open."
Just as she finished speaking.
The last part of Lan Xi's plan was that all the neon lights would shine on the center of the hall, which happened to be where Shen Jianyi was.
Before making these preparations, she had calculated everything. She would lead Lu Jinsheng here and complete the final ceremony. But unexpectedly, everything was ruined.
The moment the lights shone on the woman, the gemstone necklace on her chest sparkled brightly, astonishing everyone.
"This is... This is actually the Heart of the Ocean?!"
