Fearing that Li Anran might be unhappy, the old lady was still trying to make amends for her grandson.

"Don't misunderstand Ah Shen. He's just trying to help you. He thinks the room is too small to live in."

Although Li Anran cursed Lu Shen's entire family in her heart, she still maintained her gentle demeanor on the surface.

"Grandma, I'm fine. How could I misunderstand Ah Shen?"

The old lady of the Lu family liked her personality just the way she was. "Ah, that's right, that's my good granddaughter-in-law."

The old lady, recalling Li Anran's earlier act of smashing her phone, casually reminded her of something.

"Anran, you don't need to pay attention to what's being said online."

"The online buzz will come and go in a few days, so don't get angry at those who write nonsense. Also, to avoid unnecessary trouble, you'd better stay home these next few days."

Right now, there are probably countless reporters waiting to interview Li Anran outside the Lu family's residence.

Their family already lost face enough yesterday; they really can't afford to lose face a second time.

"Yes, Grandma, Anran understands."

Li Anran then realized that what the eldest brother had said about the Lu family was absolutely true.

The Lu family is indeed a heartless bunch, only concerned with their own interests.

Since returning from the variety show, Jian Ruoxi slept until the afternoon of the next day, and didn't even hear Lu Jin's phone call.

Fearing that she might come to the house again out of concern, Jian Ruoxi quickly called the young lady back.

The call was answered almost instantly, and Lu Jin immediately launched into a tirade against Jian Ruoxi.

"Jian Ruoxi, are you fast asleep? Look how many times I've called you."

Even pigs can sleep as long as you!

Lu Jin's voice was so loud that Jian Ruoxi had to cover her ears to save her life.

Is this still the same Lu Jin, the eldest daughter of the Lu family?

In the years since I became a director, besides my improved filmmaking skills, my voice has also gotten louder and louder.

"Hey Miss, can't you show me some respect?"

"I recorded a variety show all day yesterday, and I almost fell off the log bridge. I'm exhausted."

Lu Jin then learned that an accident had occurred during the recording of the variety show yesterday.

"What happened? Are you alright?" Lu Jin's tone immediately became tense.

If Jian Ruoxi were really in trouble, she could bring a knife and storm into Ran Jie's house.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. The last person caught me."

Lu Jin breathed a sigh of relief, "It's alright."

Interrupted like this, Jian Ruoxi still didn't know what Lu Jin wanted to say by calling her so urgently.

"Miss, is there anything else? If not, I'll go back to sleep."

Lu Jin quickly called out to Jian Ruoxi.

"Don't sleep, there's a good show to watch. Look at today's trending topics, and you'll understand everything."

She only gave Jian Ruoxi this one reminder; as for how far this former sister-in-law could go, that was beyond her control.

Xi opened his phone with some skepticism and saw that there were many news articles about the Lu family's engagement yesterday.

"Lu Shen is missing? He won't be back until tonight."

"Li Anran waited all day, and the ceremony was rushed through."

When Jian Ruoxi saw these news reports, a bold idea popped into her head.

Was the little black dog that caught her that day really Lu Shen?

She calculated the time when the recording ended, which was about the same time as when Lu Shen returned to the Lu family.

The timing matched, and the feeling was similar, but she still dared not be sure.

Unless, of course, she can hear Lu Shen say it to her in person.

Jian Ruoxi left her home and unconsciously arrived near Lu's Company, waiting for Lu Shen to appear in the same place.

When they first got married, she would secretly hide here so that she could see Lu Shen a little more each day, and sometimes he would find her.

"Didn't I tell you not to come to the company to find me? Don't you understand?"

At that time, Jian Ruoxi still had feelings for Lu Shen and handed him the lunchbox.

"This is lunch I made for you myself. Remember to have someone heat it up for you before you eat it at noon."

Lu Shen didn't even glance at her as he walked past her.

In the end, Ah-Jie took the lunchbox.

"You don't need to do these useless things anymore. Anyway, when the time comes, you will leave the Lu family."

Jian Ruoxi's action of leaning on the tree trunk overlapped with her own back then, and when she looked towards Lu's Company again, her eyes were already slightly red.

"Yes, didn't you already predict the outcome for me back then?"

"We will eventually have to part ways."

Perhaps, that person really wasn't Lu Shen.

She's probably just overthinking it.

Just as I was about to leave, I caught a glimpse of a familiar car approaching.

“That’s Lu Shen’s car.”

I almost forgot, the time she came out was exactly when Lu Shen appeared.

She used to keep it in mind all the time, and even if she doesn't deliberately bring it up now, her actions still unconsciously bring her closer to that version of herself from back then.

Ah Jie got out of the front seat and went to the back to open the car door for Lu Shen.

Upon seeing this, Jian Ruoxi quickly hid behind a tree, afraid of being discovered by him.

But she still underestimated Lu Shen's keen insight.

They discovered her almost the instant she hid.

"Three years have passed, and you still prefer to hide in the same place. Do you really think I've never noticed you?"

Lu Shen thought of the figure he used to see carefully hiding behind him every day on his way to work, and a handsome smile appeared on his lips.

"Young Master, what did you see that makes you so happy?"

Ah Jie vividly remembers how terribly gloomy the young master's face was when they first left the Lu family.

"It's nothing, the weather is nice today, and the trees are growing well."

Lu Shen walked into the company with a smile. Seeing Jian Ruoxi again today put him in a great mood, and his coldness lessened.

Every female employee who saw him was unable to resist the charm of Young Master Lu.

It's like a block of ice that's been frozen for millennia suddenly melting, revealing its most dazzling part.

Ah Jie scratched the back of his head in confusion, "What's wrong with Young Master today? Did Li Anran anger you? Why are you talking so nonsensically?"

"The sun wasn't shining brightly today, and the trees have been here for several years without any difference."

He found himself increasingly unable to understand his young master's thoughts.

The young master has been unpredictable lately, so it's best to avoid provoking him.

Only after Lu Shen and A Jie had walked away did Jian Ruoxi emerge from behind the tree.

He patted his chest in lingering fear, "Forget it, I'd better come to this place less often in the future, in case Lu Shen finds out I'm still secretly watching him."

"How smug he must be!"

The ex-wife felt incredibly ashamed, especially considering she was in a position to stand up for herself; at least she didn't dare mention what happened today to Lu Jin and the others.

If Lu Jin finds out, he'll just laugh at her for being spineless today, not even daring to show herself openly.

As for Ran Jie? They might criticize her for acting without authorization, after all, Lu Shen and Li Anran's engagement caused quite a stir yesterday.
