Shen Ping had rushed over the moment Shen Lan was admitted to the hospital. But in his younger years, he had not been a good father. He was petrified that his daughter would be angry with him if she found out that he had secretly pushed Zhou Li away. He could only beckon Shen Xiu over.
Although Shen Xiu was Shen Ping’s younger brother, the age gap between the two brothers was even wider than that between Shen Ping and Shen Lan. As a result, Shen Lan was more comfortable around Shen Xiu.
“She just only went back to sleep. She’s disoriented, so she may babble some nonsense,” Shen Xiu said lightly.
A sigh of relief escaped Shen Ping’s lips, and the lines on his face softened slightly. “Good… I just hope she can give it some serious consideration.”
Despite his willingness to indulge his feisty daughter, Shen Ping could not stand the thought of her ruining her own life.
At a glance, a discerning person could tell what was going on with a man like Zhou Li. As long as they were just messing around, everything would have been fine. Shen Lan had fallen head over heels for the man. That just would not do.
“Who did she splash this afternoon? I’ll find a chance to apologize.” Shen Ping
inquired.
“It’s an actress, Lu Zhao’s…Ex-wife.” Shen Xiu’s tone was subtle.
“Luo Ying?” Shen Ping also had a strange expression.
Lu Zhao also got a report at the same time. It was the details of the afternoon farce that he had ordered Secretary Li to find out.
“Hmm? Why are you still looking into this?” They had just finished dinner. Luo Ying opened the email for Lu Zhao while he was peeling grapes. She read the names. “Shen Lan and Zhou Li…” Wasn’t Zhou Li a scumbag? He cheated on the poor girl and coldly dumped her.
The information provided by Secretary Li was comprehensive. The more Luo Ying read, the more interested she became in the subject.
“Why would Shen Lan hang out with someone like that? Her family background is clearly…Oh!” A pleasant taste flooded Luo Ying’s mouth as she spoke. Lu Zhao had stuffed a grape into her mouth.
Having eaten, Luo Ying looked at him as though it were nothing out of the ordinary. “Hmm? Secretary Li is simply incredible. He even looked into the Shens. Oh!” Lu Zhao interrupted her with another grape.
Luo Ying viciously bit Lu Zhao’s fingertip before he could pull back his hand. “Why didn’t you let me finish?!”
Lu Zhao’s eyes narrowed as he felt the dampness on his fingers. His fingers probed deeper.
“You’re not allowed to praise other men,” Lu Zhao said with a solemn expression.
Luo Ying was speechless and amused at the same time. “That’s just your secretary!”
She threw herself into the disgruntled man’s arms and kissed him.
The grapes’ sweetness radiated from Luo Ying’s tongue tip. Lu Zhao could not help but deepen the kiss.
More passionate kissing ensued as time went on. Luo Ying, sensing that something was about to happen, pushed him away hastily while gasping for air. “I want more grapes.”
She had not even reached the end of the email yet!
“Alright.” Lu Zhao was helpless. He worked hard to keep his breathing under control while peeling the grape skin for her.
“Why did you look into the Shens, exactly?” Luo Ying kept browsing the messages and noticed that many of them were updates on the Shen family.
Lu Zhao hesitated briefly when this was brought up. “Old Master Lu has excommunicated a family member from the Lu household. The Shen family eventually took them in as one of their own. Coincidentally, Shen Lan is a member of the Shen family, so I had her looked into as well.”
The enemies ot his enemy were his triends. It he could put them to use, he would have yet another weapon at his disposal.
“Eh? Have you met them before?” This was the first time Luo Ying had heard of it. However, she knew for a fact that anyone who could capture Lu Zhao’s attention would be anything but simple.
“I met him once when I first came to the Lu family.” It was the first time Lu Zhao mentioned the Lu family, with a subtle touch of tenderness. “He’s a wild one. I was on the way to yet another of the Lu family’s cumbersome education for their heirs when he chased the cat in through the window and destroyed the entire room.”
It was the first time Lu Zhao had ever seen anyone so animated in the Lu home. He did not belong in the dark, solemn mansion of the Lu family.
Unbelievable as it may seem, Old Master Lu’s rage that day only resulted in a relatively mild punishment of being grounded.
Despite Old Master Lu’s wrath, the person continued to play with the cat indifferently, imitating the cat’s meowing.
From his hiding place in a corner, little Lu Zhao had watched with interest.
The unfortunate individual was banished from the Lu family by Old Master Lu within a matter of days and was never seen or heard from again.
Luo Ying found this individual fascinating as well. It enraged Old Master Lu to the point of stomping his feet. How gratifying it sounded!
“Why couldn’t Old Master Lu do anything to him?” Luo Ying had a lot of questions. It was most odd..
