"She told me to come and keep an eye on you."
When Lu Jinsheng said this, his face was expressionless, and he seemed extremely reluctant to talk to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan seemed a bit disappointed.
This wasn't her original intention. At first, she just wanted to get closer to Shen Jianyi so that it would be easier for her to get near her elder brother. But later, for some unknown reason, she more and more hoped that Shen Jianyi would notice her.
The girl turned around and sat back on the hospital bed. She took out her phone from her pocket and was browsing today's study materials.
Just then.
Shen Jianyi strode over. From afar, she saw Lu Jinsheng standing at the door. When she got closer, she found that the two of them weren't talking at all. They were just doing their own things.
Could it be that she was overthinking? But what was the meaning of all that Lu Yuan had done?
Shen Jianyi often couldn't figure out Lu Yuan. She seemed to be a person with hidden depths, always keeping things to herself.
"Aren't you going to class?" Lu Jinsheng glanced at the time. The compulsory course was about to start.
"Yes, I am."
She had just taken two steps forward when she heard a rush of footsteps behind her.
Shen Jianyi turned around and saw Lu Yuan rushing up with an ice pack on her face. Her other hand naturally wrapped around Shen Jianyi's arm.
"Sister - in - law, let's go together."
This enthusiasm was really impossible for Shen Jianyi to refuse, so she had to agree.
Watching the backs of the two as they walked away, Lu Jinsheng showed no expression on his face. He just felt that something wasn't quite right.
...
The speech forum was scheduled to start at 1:00 p.m. on the dot.
The large conference hall was filled with senior students. Everyone was vying to sit in the front because only in this way could they catch Lu Jinsheng's attention.
Although everyone knew that Lu Jinsheng was already married, just being looked at by him could make them happy for a long time.
The men couldn't understand the thoughts of these women. Clearly, Lu Jinsheng was a married man, so why could he still attract so many young and beautiful female students?
The speech forum was about to begin.
Everyone was seated, and there were still a few empty seats on the side. Lu Jinsheng was standing backstage, looking at the speech draft in his hand.
At this moment, the school principal rushed over, followed by a woman.
The woman was wearing a light - blue long dress that sparkled under the light.
Lu Jinsheng sensed something was wrong. His eyebrows furrowed slightly. "Principal, what is she here for?"
The principal said cheerfully, "I thought it would be a bit monotonous for you to give a speech alone, so I've invited a female student from your same class. She used to study law and is now a well - known lawyer in the industry."
Hearing this, Lu Jinsheng immediately felt dissatisfied.
Because the principal hadn't mentioned any of this to him at first. It was too late to say it now, and it seemed a bit disrespectful.
Lu Jinsheng put the speech draft on the table, slumped onto the sofa with a lazy body, and looked at the other person indifferently. "Sure, then let her go up and give the speech."
It was easy to guess that the principal wanted this woman to ride on his popularity. Without even considering how capable this woman was, if she wasn't as professional as the principal had said, it would only bring negative publicity to him.
Seeing that he was so uncooperative, the female lawyer swallowed hard with difficulty and looked at him awkwardly.
The atmosphere was extremely tense at this moment.
After hesitating for a long time, the female lawyer picked up the speech draft on the table and handed it over. When she spoke, she lowered her voice slightly, making her seem very approachable.
"Mr. Lu, don't worry. I'm Zhou Qi, a gold - medal lawyer in the industry. You can check my identity. I definitely won't bring you the troubles you're worried about."
Hearing this, Lu Jinsheng looked up and stared into the woman's determined eyes. He had indeed heard of the name Zhou Qi, but he usually left the matter of hiring lawyers to his assistant, so he rarely got involved.
"Okay." Lu Jinsheng sat up from the chair. He reached out to take the speech draft. "I'm glad to cooperate with you."
As long as it wouldn't affect his reputation, Lu Jinsheng didn't really care that much.
Zhou Qi wore a smile on her face. When she smiled, two sweet dimples appeared on her face, which was quite different from when she didn't smile.
The woman's shoulder - length hair was casually scattered on her body. She turned her head. "Mr. Lu, I'm glad to meet you here today. I hope we can also become friends."
Hearing this, Lu Jinsheng didn't answer. Instead, he strode out of the backstage with his long legs.
At the same time, on the other side.
Shen Jianyi had just finished the compulsory course. She saw the students in the class rushing out in a hurry. Just as she stood up, she saw someone approaching from the side.
The female student whispered beside her, "Jianyi, your husband seems to be giving a speech in the large conference room. A lot of people have gone to watch. Aren't you in a hurry?"
She coughed lightly and looked at the other person expressionlessly.
The female student felt a bit embarrassed and twitched the corner of her mouth and asked, "I forgot. You can see each other every day. But I heard there's also a gold - medal lawyer."
"Gold - medal lawyer?" Shen Jianyi's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
The female student nodded. "Yes, don't you know? Senior Zhou Qi is also very amazing. She's not only beautiful but also has extremely strong professional abilities. I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going there first. Otherwise, there won't be good seats later."
Hearing these words, Shen Jianyi didn't feel any sense of crisis. She just stood there calmly.
Because she trusted Lu Jinsheng enough. Even if Zhou Qi was standing beside him, he could finish his speech calmly and then leave.
But... for some unknown reason, Shen Jianyi felt a bit sour in her heart at this moment, as if someone had squeezed her heart.
She moved forward two steps and planned to go and have a look too.
Just then, a shadow suddenly appeared behind her. She turned around and met Lu Yuan's beautiful almond eyes.
Lu Yuan smiled sweetly, looking very cute. "Sister - in - law, are you also going to the large conference room?"
"Yeah."
Shen Jianyi didn't want to say much. Without giving the person behind her a chance to continue talking, she turned around and was about to walk forward. Lu Yuan didn't ask any more questions and just followed behind her.
On the way to the large conference room, Lu Yuan was like a curious child, asking a lot of questions.
Shen Jianyi answered her sporadically. If it were someone else, she might have already blocked their mouth with something.
Just when Shen Jianyi was feeling annoyed, Lu Yuan suddenly asked, "Sister - in - law, do you know about the chip? It's been a hot topic in the business circle."
