Lu Ziqian's wide - open eyes were filled with red bloodshot, showing just how angry the man in front of her was.
It wasn't that Lu Jinsheng didn't see it, but he was worried that Shen Jianyi would be bullied by the other party.
However, the woman had assured him to go out.
"Are you really okay?" Lu Jinsheng was truly worried and couldn't calm down.
She nodded. "Of course I am."
To deal with someone like Lu Ziqian, one really had to outwit him. There were no other effective methods.
Seeing that both of them wanted him to wait outside, Lu Jinsheng had no choice but to go out for a while.
Before leaving, Lu Jinsheng lowered his eyelashes, leaned close to the woman, and said, "I'll be right around. If there's any problem, just shout. I'll appear in front of you immediately."
Hearing this, Shen Jianyi's beautiful peach - blossom eyes trembled slightly. She curved her lips into a smile and agreed.
So, the two of them watched him walk out.
"Click ──"
The ward door closed, leaving only Shen Jianyi and Lu Ziqian in the room.
The atmosphere instantly became very strange.
Actually, Shen Jianyi didn't have much of an emotional reaction. She was never afraid of the man in front of her. Her mood was no different from usual.
"Father, if you have something to say ──"
"Shut up!" Lu Ziqian interrupted her directly. "You're not my daughter - in - law. There's no need to call me that."
Since that was the case, Shen Jianyi wouldn't be self - defeating. Doing so would only cut off all her own retreats.
She crossed her arms, walked over to the chair opposite the hospital bed, and sat down. Her eyes showed a cold and arrogant air.
"You asked me to stay alone. What's the matter?"
Lu Ziqian wasn't polite either. He took out a silver card from the drawer and handed it over.
He slapped it on the table unceremoniously and said seriously with full confidence, "The money in this silver card is enough for you to spend a lifetime. You won't even have to struggle for three generations. Take it and leave my son."
Hearing this, Shen Jianyi almost burst out laughing. What was wrong with this Lu Ziqian? Why did he think that a silver card could easily get rid of her?
This wasn't a TV drama, and she wasn't one of those vicious female supporting characters. She would never take the money and run away.
Shen Jianyi raised her chin and couldn't help but let out a snort of laughter. "I respect you as Lord Lu. Please stop making things difficult for me. Do you think I'm short of this little bit of money?"
For her, although the money in this silver card was a huge amount, she didn't care about it at all. After all, Aolin Company had made her extremely wealthy. Having a little more or a little less didn't matter.
Seeing that this couldn't tempt the person in front of him, Lu Ziqian really didn't know what else to offer to make her leave.
He spoke generously. "Then let's have a good talk. What kind of conditions do I need to offer for you to leave my son?"
Such a cliché thing actually happened to her. Shen Jianyi was full of helplessness in her heart, but on the surface, she could only pretend to be calm and try not to laugh.
She crossed her legs, sat up straight, and didn't speak for a long time.
Maybe it was because of this silence that made him extremely impatient. He tightly grasped his snake - headed walking stick with both hands, his eyes wide open, and the red bloodshot on his eyeballs was clearly visible.
It seemed that Lu Ziqian had really gone to great lengths to make her leave Lu Jinsheng. He had even lost his appetite.
"Speak!" he roared.
The woman wasn't intimidated at all. Instead, she calmly sat beside the bed, her hands on her knees, and looked at him casually with her head raised.
In this situation, one was almost jumping up and down in a hurry, while the other seemed as if nothing had happened.
It was understandable, though. After all, Shen Jianyi had seen all kinds of storms. For her, Lu Ziqian's threats were nothing.
After a moment of silence.
No matter how hard Lu Ziqian tried to persuade himself to calm down, he couldn't sit still any longer.
He gritted his teeth and reluctantly looked at the other person. His voice was much weaker than before. "Shen Jianyi, I know you're not a short - sighted person. You also know that to be the young mistress of our Lu family, one must have a powerful background. But you don't have one. If you're sensible, leave quickly."
Before the other person could speak, he continued, "Now I can still give you everything you want. But if you keep hesitating, you'll get nothing."
Seeing Lu Ziqian being so serious, almost stamping his feet in anxiety while still trying to hold it back.
Hearing this, Shen Jianyi finally opened her precious mouth and calmly asked a question, "Can you really give me what I want?"
"Of course!"
After seeing her take a step back, Lu Ziqian was very proud. Sure enough, there was no such thing as pure love in this world. Everyone approached others with benefits and purposes.
He originally thought that what he said wouldn't be able to make Shen Jianyi leave his son, but now it seemed that Shen Jianyi was just the same. She would eventually be blinded by the conditions.
At this moment.
The man standing outside the ward heard everything they said. He tightly clenched his fists, feeling extremely uneasy. He was really worried that Shen Jianyi would agree to Lu Ziqian and leave him.
The man's body trembled. The next second, a pair of warm and delicate hands landed on his. They gently stroked the back of his hand.
Lu Jinsheng's heart skipped a beat. He lowered his head and saw that the owner of the hands was Lu Yuan.
He couldn't figure out what the other person was doing, but instinctively, he quickly dodged, and the look of disgust in his eyes was hard to hide.
"What are you doing?" the man said coldly.
But in Lu Yuan's eyes, this was just normal. They were siblings. Her elder brother was in an unstable mood, and she was worried that the person in front of her would have another outburst of anger, so she wanted to try to comfort him. She had no other intentions.
Many times, Lu Yuan didn't know what was wrong with herself. She would never do such a thing in front of others, but every time she met Lu Jinsheng, she couldn't help it.
Thinking that the other person meant well, Lu Jinsheng didn't care too much. Instead, he moved his body to the side and continued to listen to the people inside.
Lu Yuan's eyes dimmed, and she didn't say anything else.
...
Inside the ward.
Shen Jianyi stretched out her crossed legs a little. She seemed to be stretching, but her tone was still casual and cold. She spoke expressionlessly.
"I want the largest share of the Lu Group. Can you give it to me?"
As soon as the words were out.
The anger that Lu Ziqian had been holding back instantly rushed to his head. He felt as if his whole body was on fire, especially his brain, which seemed to explode with a "buzz".
How dare she say such a thing? Didn't she even weigh her own worth? This woman, Shen Jianyi, really had a vicious mind.
