Is the new member really Gun? What on earth is Gun's real identity? Does it have anything to do with Lu Jinsheng? She had suspected these things before.
That night, Lu Jinsheng got home very late. He had an argument with Lu Ziqian on the way. The other party made a big fuss for a long time. Dragging his exhausted body, he just collapsed on the bed without even taking a shower.
Shen Jianyi originally wanted to make a joke, but seeing his exhausted look, she swallowed all those words back into her throat.
The two didn't talk much about what had happened that day. For them, it was a day of both joy and sorrow. If they mentioned the happy things, it might also stir up the sad emotions.
It was very late. Shen Jianyi was about to fall asleep when the man beside her suddenly said, "Yiyi, accompany me to Xu Yao's place again tomorrow, okay?"
She paused. They had gotten nothing from Xu Yao last time. Why go there again now? Without any evidence, the other party would never reveal anything about Lin Enjin.
But she could also sense that Lu Jinsheng was rather vulnerable at the moment. What he needed more was care, not her interrogation.
Shen Jianyi nodded gently, her voice soft, "Okay."
The man suddenly sat up and pulled her into his arms. Maybe he had thought of something about Lin Enjin again that day, or perhaps... he had never forgotten and had been torturing himself with those memories every day.
Sometimes Shen Jianyi felt really sorry for him. Her own experience was actually quite similar to his, so she could empathize. For so many years, she didn't know where her younger sister was or whether she was still alive.
Shen Jianyi turned around and kissed him on the cheek when he wasn't paying attention.
This also aroused the man's desire. He rolled over and pinned her firmly under him, looking at Shen Jianyi's blushing face in his arms.
Outside, the wind mixed with raindrops hitting the French windows. The woman looked at the man in front of her with affection in her eyes.
It was destined to be a sleepless night.
...
In the early morning, the sky after the rain was always blue. The white clouds seemed within reach.
The woman turned over in bed and reached out to feel the empty space beside her. Only then did she open her sleepy eyes.
She wondered what Lu Jinsheng had gone to do so early in the morning. She casually took out her phone from under the pillow to check the messages.
There had been more than a dozen consecutive Weibo hot searches the previous night. Out of boredom, she clicked on them.
[#Shock! The eldest daughter of the Lan family actually publicly confessed her love to a married man!#]
[#Lan Xi; High - imitation Heart of the Ocean#]
[#With the purest appearance but doing the most "green - tea" things, the eldest daughter's character setting collapses#]
Almost all the Weibo hot searches were about Lan Xi. Her birthday banquet the previous day should have been a happy occasion, but she had ruined it with her own actions.
She couldn't blame anyone else. Lan Xi had been pushing others everywhere. Shen Jianyi had just defended her marriage and love in a just way.
She got up. Just then, the bedroom door was pushed open from the outside. Song Min'er poked her head in and asked with a smile, "Young mistress, breakfast is ready. Come down and have it quickly!"
Shen Jianyi shuffled into the bathroom in her slippers, washed up briefly, and then went downstairs for breakfast.
She was holding the handrail, still a bit sleepy. Shen Jianyi yawned, and her vision was blurry. When her vision cleared, she found a familiar girl sitting downstairs.
The girl looked up at her. After a few seconds of eye - contact, Lu Yuan waved at her and said, "Sister - in - law, are you awake?"
Shen Jianyi was a bit confused. It wasn't a special day, and the family hadn't arranged any activities. Why was Lu Yuan here?
She walked down expressionlessly, sat in the main seat at the table, propped her chin on her hand, and asked lazily, "Why are you here?"
But Lu Yuan was smiling, "I saw the Weibo hot searches today. I know what Lan Xi did last night, so I thought... I should come and say thank you to you."
"Thank you?" Shen Jianyi looked at her in confusion. "What did I do that deserves your thanks?"
"Because I also hate Lan Xi. Sister - in - law has helped me get rid of her, so now I can study in peace."
Shen Jianyi thought the other girl was being too naive. Was the only reason she hated Lan Xi that she had been bullied?
She clicked her tongue and said, "It's no use just relying on me. If there's one Lan Xi, there will be a second one."
Shen Jianyi had just said it casually without any other intention. She just wanted to remind Lu Yuan.
She thought Lu Yuan wouldn't take it to heart, but unexpectedly, she nodded obediently and said, "Sister - in - law is right."
Just a while ago, they had been like enemies when they met, but now the other girl was acting so close to her. Shen Jianyi didn't want to talk to Lu Yuan anymore, so she just quietly lowered her head to have breakfast.
Sister Gu walked over with an ironed shirt and asked carefully, "Young mistress, are you still going to school today?"
"No. I have other things to do today."
Maybe because she heard that Shen Jianyi wasn't going to school, Lu Yuan didn't stay here long and left.
Watching the girl's back, Shen Jianyi couldn't help but fall into deep thought, but her thoughts were soon interrupted by the sound of the man opening the door.
Lu Jinsheng had gone to the study early in the morning and hadn't even had breakfast. Shen Jianyi looked at him in confusion and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I've solved some problems in the company. Lu Ming has caused another mess for me."
Shen Jianyi put down her milk cup and stared at the man intently. The man also absent - mindedly mentioned, "He's so young, but he dared to secretly use the company's funds. He's really bold."
"A son is like his father." Shen Jianyi just said it casually without aiming at anyone.
But Lu Jinsheng always felt that he was being subtly criticized.
After breakfast that day, the two of them went to the place where Xu Yao was.
Her store wasn't open yet. Maybe they had come too early. They waited in the car for a while.
Lu Jinsheng was a bit drowsy. He hadn't rested much the previous night. After all that tossing, he was physically and mentally exhausted. The man closed his eyes to take a little rest.
Nearly half an hour passed.
Shen Jianyi yawned and then saw Xu Yao walking with a man. The man looked very familiar.
She immediately reached out and patted Lu Jinsheng. He opened his eyes and saw that Xu Yao had already opened the door of the store.
The man following behind her surprised both of them. Shen Jianyi frowned slightly as she looked at him and said, "Why is Lu Suowei here? Do he and... Xu Yao know each other?"
