Lu Wanwan and Lin Xu arranged a time and a place to meet.
Before she left the house, Lu Wanwanâs mother even asked very strangely, âWhere are you going?â
Lu Wanwan said evasively, âIâm going to meet a friend, it wonât take long.â
There was no need to extend her stay during the first day of the New Year, thus Lu Wanwanâs mother didnât make things difficult for her, she didnât ask anything more, she just waved her hand and told her to go.
Lu Wanwan changed into her new high heels. Suddenly, she turned around and asked, âMom, when did Shen Yi leave?â
âAround seven oâclock in the morning, after he came back with the breakfast he bought, he went out again, it looked like he was busy with something.â
She didnât ask either, she wasnât really concerned about where this son-in-law was going.
Lu Wanwan nodded, âOkay, I got it.â
Lu Wanwan originally intended to drive Lu Zhouzhiâs new sport car, but after thinking about it, she thought it better to take a taxi.
Many stores on the streets werenât opened yet, but the largest mall in the middle of the city was still opened for business as usual.
Lu Wanwan dressed herself up beautifully and arrived at the meeting place an hour early on purpose.
During that time her phone never stopped ringing with New Year greetings, it was Lu Zhouzhiâs little girlfriend who texted her, wishing her a happy new year.
Her senseless little brother was still in high school this year. All year round, he was causing trouble at school, moreover, he was good-looking and was liked by many girls.
Lu Wanwan once met once Lu Zhouzhiâs little girlfriend, she was a very fair and very thin young girl. She happened to hear that her family didnât seem to be well-off and thus was often being bullied by people.
Lu Wanwan replied with blessings for the New Year and sent her a red envelope with an appropriate amount of money, not too much and not too little.
About half an hour later, Lin Xu called her to say that he had arrived. Lu Wanwan looked around the entrance of the mall for a short while before seeing the man walking towards her direction.
Lin Xu was dressed very well and he seemed to have specially groomed his hair. When he smiled, he gave the feeling of still being a teenager, as if he was still experiencing first love.
He smiled at Lu Wanwan, âHave you been waiting for a long time?â
âNot really.â
âLetâs go sit down in a coffee shop to have a talk, okay?â
Lu Wanwan clutched the strap of her bag, pretending to be nervous, she timidly nodded her head. She looked like a delicate little white flower, swinging against the wind, âOkay.â
As the two people were walking towards the entrance of the mall, suddenly, a gentle and elegant voice resounded, coming from Lu Wanwanâs side, the man asked, âLady, sorry to disturb you, would you happen to know whereâs the underground parking ?â
As she raised her eyes, Lu Wanwan saw the man standing in front of her. He was dressed formally, his skin was very fair, his demeanor elegant, but he emitted an inherent oppressive aura.
She pointed out the direction and replied, âOnce youâre past that passageway on the right, you just have to go straight down and youâll find the place.â
The manâs eyes swept over Lin Xu at her side before withdrawing his gaze and smiling at her, âThank you.â
âYouâre welcome.â
Lu Wanwan didnât put any importance on this small episode, she didnât even recognize this man, who was Shen Yiâs older brother, Shen Shi.
But that wasnât her fault, in three lifetimes, this was the first time she saw Shen Yiâs rumored politician elder brother.
Before, she used to be locked up and couldnât go anywhere, and naturally she couldnât see anyone
She only knew a few Shen familyâs relatives and that was it.
Shen Shi turned at a corner, and went up to the second floor of the mall where he walked inside a low-profile store. Through the glass windows, one was able to see the situation underneath.
These two people were talking and laughing as they entered a coffee shop.
Shen Shi sternly eyed his brother sitting across from him, poured him a cup of tea and let out a laugh, âWhat a coincidence.â
He originally asked Shen Yi to meet in order to talk about the matter of him moving back home. After all, whether Shen Yi was willing to go back home to the Shen family or not, he was now the rightful and official second son of the Shen family.
It was okay if he wanted to vent his anger, but he couldnât vent his anger for a lifetime.
Shen Shi never expected he would run into his sister-in-law and her â¦â¦ good friend.
Shen Shi wasnât under the impression that Shen Yi liked Lu Wanwan, so he never paid attention to this woman and also didnât bother to have anyone investigate her.
If it wasnât for lawyer Feng, who last time took the initiative to mention it, he would never have known that his sister-in-law was originally so bold and ambitious.
But her little fusses, in Shen Shiâs eyes, werenât worth taking seriously. He just felt more and more that Lu Wanwan, who came from a small family, was likewise petty and that her intentions werenât proper.
Such a woman wasnât worthy of entering Shen familyâs big door.
To put it bluntly, the haughty and arrogant son of heaven, Shen Shi, looked down on Lu Wanwan from the bottom of his heart.
Shen Yi lowered his eyes, his dark pupils staring at the direction they both walked towards for a long, long time. The corners of his mouth curved downward as he clenched his fingers. One could see his mood was really not good at all.
