"Just get your hair done. What does it matter to me?"
Shen Jian didn't care at all. She even rolled her eyes at the other person.
Lu Jinsheng could obviously tell that the woman was jealous at the moment. It was as clear as day.
He smiled and leaned closer to Shen Jian. "Don't worry. I'm not interested in other women."
...
The two entered Tsinghua University together.
The guard looked at them and felt a bit puzzled at that time. This student, Shen Jian, was really a slacker. He didn't see her on campus very often.
Lu Jinsheng had to go to the principal's office first. The principal's office was in the building behind.
He put his arm around Shen Jian's waist. A smile appeared on his handsome face. "Come with me. I haven't been back to school for so long that I've forgotten the way."
It was obvious that Lu Jinsheng was just spouting nonsense. The last time he came to find her, he knew the way like the back of his hand.
Shen Jian had seen through his thoughts long ago, but she just didn't want to expose him.
The woman just couldn't stand his nagging, so she agreed. How come she never noticed before that Lu Jinsheng was so clingy to her?
When they passed by the area between the teaching building and the building where the principal's office was located, they heard some laughter.
"Keep laughing. Aren't you so capable?"
"Yeah. Why don't you ask your sister - in - law to come and save you? Look, it's been ages since your sister - in - law came to school. She must have forgotten about you."
"Don't think that just because your brother is Senior Lu, we won't dare to do anything to you."
Lan Xi crossed her arms and propped her bent leg against the wall. Looking down on the girl sitting on the ground, a wild smile played on her lips, but her eyes showed panic.
She looked as if she was being forced and didn't really want to bully the girl in front of her.
Lan Xi swallowed hard. Her voice was hoarse as she looked at the girl on the ground. "Don't let me see you on campus. Every time I do, I'll beat you up."
As soon as the words were out, she raised her arm, about to slap the girl.
"Stop!"
Before the slap could land, she heard a man's voice from the front. Lan Xi turned her head and saw Lu Jinsheng and Shen Jian standing there.
She looked extremely panicked, and her hands were trembling. It was obvious how scared Lan Xi was at the moment.
Just as she was about to pull back her arm, the girl sitting on the ground suddenly raised her head and made a soft sound from her throat. She murmured, "Slap me."
Lan Xi's pupils dilated. Her hand, frozen in mid - air, refused to come down. After hesitating for a long time, she still didn't have the guts.
But at this time, Lu Yuan threatened, "Remember what I told you. Why aren't you moving?"
Thinking that something might happen to her family, Lan Xi closed her eyes in fear and struck.
"Slap!"
A crisp sound of a slap echoed in the corner between the two buildings.
On normal days, Lu Jinsheng might have rushed up to check immediately, but this time was different. He thought that Shen Jian didn't like Lu Yuan, so this matter should be left to her to handle.
The woman turned to look at Lu Jinsheng. She seemed quite satisfied. With a tug at her lips, she walked over.
She stood directly in front of Lu Yuan and stared intently at Lan Xi. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly remembered something.
She still remembered the conversation between the two she heard in the room set up by Xu Wenji. One of them was Lan Xi. She had just agreed to some condition, and now she was bullying Lu Yuan. It was really abnormal.
Moreover, she had warned Lan Xi before. Even if Lan Xi had a million guts, she wouldn't dare to bully Lu Yuan again.
Lu Yuan was originally a daughter of the Lu family. Although she was an adopted daughter, it was the same. As long as she said something, she could definitely bankrupt the Lan family and make them never be able to raise their heads in the business circle again.
So only by associating Lu Yuan with that mysterious person she talked to could it make sense.
Shen Jian turned her head and looked at the woman covering her face and crying pitifully. Frowning, she said coldly, "Lu Yuan, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Lu Yuan shook her head. Her almond eyes were sparkling. "Thank you for your concern, sister - in - law."
Although she knew that this was a self - directed and self - acted play by Lu Yuan, for some reason, Shen Jian still felt very sad. It was as if Lu Yuan had really been bullied.
Shen Jian helped the girl up. Looking at the swollen face, she gently blew on it. "Let your brother take you to the school infirmary. Okay?"
Lu Yuan nodded in agreement.
Although Lu Jinsheng was very reluctant, he couldn't refuse Shen Jian's request. He still wore an icy face, put his hands in his pockets, and walked away. Lu Yuan followed closely behind.
Now only Lan Xi and the others, as well as Shen Jian, were left. Lan Xi was extremely scared at this moment. Her voice was trembling when she spoke.
"I didn't... I didn't mean to target her." Lan Xi was shaking violently. "I didn't expect... to hit so hard."
"Okay."
Shen Jian showed no emotion. She couldn't really wrong someone who had done nothing. She waved her hand. "I can pretend I didn't see this time. Don't let it happen again."
Hearing this, Lan Xi widened her eyes and looked at the woman in front of her in disbelief. She swallowed hard and even wondered if she was dreaming.
She pinched her thigh hard. Tears welled up in her eyes from the pain. Lan Xi sniffed and hurriedly fled with the girls behind her.
Looking at her like this, Shen Jian raised her eyebrows. What was wrong with this person? Lan Xi wasn't like this before.
What Shen Jian couldn't understand the most now was - why did Lu Yuan stage this self - directed play? Was it for her to see? Or for Lu Jinsheng?
She had to go to the school infirmary in person to find out. Only after seeing Lu Yuan's attitude towards Lu Jinsheng could she draw a conclusion.
Shen Jian patted the dust off her body and then turned to leave.
...
Inside the school infirmary.
Lu Jinsheng stood at the door and didn't even want to take a look inside.
The school doctor wrapped an ice pack with a thin towel and handed it to Lu Yuan. Her voice was very gentle. "Who hit you? Your face is so swollen."
Although it was very painful, Lu Yuan still managed to put on a smile. She looked innocent. "I accidentally bumped into something. Thank you for your concern."
"You're welcome. Just keep applying this here. You can go back after the swelling goes down."
Lu Yuan nodded obediently, looking like a model student. "Don't worry, Doctor Sister."
Not long after the school doctor left.
Lu Yuan got up from the sickbed and walked over. She approached Lu Jinsheng, who subconsciously took two steps back to keep a distance from her.
The girl's voice was cold. "Brother, where's sister - in - law?"
