"Ding──"
Her phone vibrated again. She lowered her head and took a glance. The message was still from Xia Liang.
[There's another person you should pay more attention to, Shu Qing. I always feel that this person's background seems rather special.]
When Shen Jianyi saw these two characters, she obviously paused for a moment. Of course, she knew who this person was.
But for now, she didn't plan to tell Lu Jinsheng. It would be better to talk about it when they met.
Presumably, Lu Jinsheng noticed that something was off about her. He asked curiously, "Yiyi, what are you thinking about?"
"Nothing."
At this moment.
Lin Zhirou, who was being driven back by the chauffeur, didn't go straight home. Instead, she went to the main building of the Lu family.
In the hall.
Lu Ziqian was playing chess with Lu Yuan when they saw the maid hurriedly bring over an invitation.
"Miss, this invitation is from TG Jewelry. It seems to be an invitation for you to attend a banquet."
Lu Yuan took the invitation and scanned it. She didn't have much of a reaction and maintained her original attitude.
Just as Lu Ziqian was about to speak, there came a series of hasty doorbells from outside.
The maid went to open the door.
The moment the door opened, the woman standing outside rushed in like a wild horse off the reins. She cried in front of him regardless.
"Second Master, Jinsheng refuses to let me go to the banquet with him no matter what. What should I do?"
Hearing this, Lu Ziqian remained expressionless. He was already fed up with Lin Zhirou. This woman was a typical example of being more of a hindrance than a help. She couldn't do anything right and always made him clean up her mess.
Just as he was about to refuse, Lu Yuan said casually, "The invitation says that I can bring a companion. If you want to go, I can take you with me."
When Lin Zhirou saw the invitation in Lu Yuan's hand, her face changed instantly. She really didn't expect that even an adopted daughter like her could receive an invitation, while she, a star in the entertainment circle, couldn't.
She was extremely dissatisfied in her heart, but she couldn't say anything because this person was helping her get into the banquet. She definitely couldn't say anything excessive.
Lu Ziqian didn't intend to stop them either. He just let the two of them make their own decisions.
"Miss Lin, do you want to go?" Lu Yuan asked directly. Her question might have made the other person feel unhappy, as if she was being looked down upon.
Lin Zhirou clenched her fists. She felt that everyone in the Lu family was mocking her and that no one really took her to heart.
But now it seemed that there was no other way. Besides going in with Lu Yuan, it would be extremely difficult for her to get an invitation from TG.
So, she nodded and agreed.
Since she could attend the banquet, her next move was to compete for the dress brought back from the fashion capital. She wanted to be the most dazzling presence at the entire banquet.
Don't think that people in the entertainment circle look down on her now, but she would surely climb up step by step and become a top - tier star and a megastar.
By that time, she would surely know many powerful people. Why should she be afraid of not being able to deal with Shen Jianyi?
A gentleman takes revenge, not forgetting for ten years. Lin Zhirou squeezed her fists. She would endure for now, but when it came time for revenge, she would make Shen Jianyi pay ten times over.
...
Shen Jianyi arrived at the store of Lisa in the mall. Before she even reached the door, she could hear the chattering and quarreling inside.
"Are they arguing?" Lu Jinsheng raised the corner of his lips, looking as if he was eager to watch the show.
Shen Jianyi turned to glance at him. "When did you become so interested in watching dramas? You used to not meddle in other people's business."
"I still won't meddle now, but I just want to take a look."
She didn't want to pay any more attention to this man. It would be okay if it was just a fight in someone else's store, but since the person involved was Lisa, she definitely had to go and see what was going on.
When the two of them went in, they saw Lisa refusing to let go of the dress in her hand no matter what.
The woman was struggling to grab it. Her back looked a bit familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before, but she just couldn't remember for a moment.
"Miss Lin, this dress really can't be sold to you. Please let go." Lisa thought her attitude was very polite.
But this woman was just being ungrateful. Not only did she grab the dress, but she also wanted to pack it up and take it away directly. Her actions were so rough. She really wasn't afraid of tearing the dress.
But Lin Zhirou just wouldn't let go. She snorted, "You've already taken it out and hung it up. Are you not going to sell this dress to me?"
"Really can't sell it to you. This dress has already been booked. If I sell it to you, what will they do?"
Lin Zhirou was just being completely unreasonable. "I don't care what they do. I saw it first and paid first. It's mine."
As soon as she finished speaking, she took advantage of Lisa's inattention and snatched the dress from her hand.
"Rip──"
A distinct sound rang in the ears of several people. The dress they had just been struggling over now had a big hole torn by Lin Zhirou, and it was very obvious.
Lisa's originally polite expression changed instantly. She tightened her face and looked very intimidating.
"What do you mean?" Lisa snatched it back and looked at the design on the chest, which was almost in a sorry state. "Do you know that I booked this dress for a long time before I got it? It's extremely valuable. Can you afford to compensate for it?"
Hearing this, Lin Zhirou still pretended to be calm: "Why can't I afford it? Isn't it just a dress?"
"Just a dress?" Lisa was just about to explain it to the other person when she turned her head and saw the two people standing at the door. "Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, you're here."
Lin Zhirou thought the other person was just scaring her and obviously didn't believe it. She looked at Lisa smugly, "Don't think you can use anyone to suppress me. I'll compensate you for the price of this dress."
The two people behind walked over and wanted to see how much Lisa would ask for.
Lin Zhirou turned her head and saw this couple standing behind her. It seemed that the woman hadn't lied just now. These two really were standing here.
"Miss Lin really has the leisure and elegance."
Shen Jianyi smiled faintly, but her eyes were full of provocation and ridicule.
The other person clenched her fists. She originally wanted to buy this dress so that Shen Jianyi would have no dress to choose from, but unexpectedly, she accidentally damaged the dress.
She looked at the people in front of her looking down on her high - handedly. That feeling was really unpleasant.
At this time.
Lisa also stated the price. She held up two fingers and there was a meaningful smile on the corner of her lips, which made people a bit confused.
