"Who does Jian Ruoxi think she is? Does she really think she has a powerful backer just because she's hooked up with Young Master Lu!"

The thought of bleeding so badly, losing her future dowry money, and giving it all back to Jian Ruoxi made Jian Mengyu furious.

As soon as she got home, she started smashing whatever was within reach, which broke Wang Juyue's heart.

"Mengyu, calm down. Let's not fall, okay? This is all money."

If they all break, what will they use?

Wouldn't we have to spend money to buy it again?

"Money, money, money! All you care about is money!" Furious, she found fault with everything.

He wasn't very nice to his own mother either.

"Why didn't you hide the money more discreetly when you told me to? You let Young Master Lu's men find it!"

Wang Juyue was speechless after being confronted by her daughter; she didn't even understand what had happened.

Jian Feng, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore. Wasn't his second daughter always well-behaved, sensible, and lovable?

Why are you behaving like a shrew today?

"Mengyu, how dare you talk to your mother like that?"

“I haven’t even mentioned that you’ve been hiding money from others.”

Jian Mengyu was getting impatient and turned to go back to her room.

"You should talk to my mom about this. I'm tired today, so I'm going home to rest."

Lu Shen has already revealed all the facts, so what's there to explain?

She had something she wanted to ask another person first.

No matter how much Jian Feng roared outside, Jian Mengyu inside ignored him completely.

She dialed the number, and Han Mingyi, who had visited the Jian family last time, answered.

"So, Miss Jian has successfully moved into a big house?"

She assumed that Jian Mengyu was calling to deliver good news.

"Han Mingyi, I initially thought you and Jian Ruoxi were enemies, but I never expected you to actually be in cahoots with her."

Strange, why is Jian Mengyu so temperamental?

Did something else happen at Jian Ruoxi's house today?

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"You were encouraging us to cause trouble at Jian Ruoxi's house, while at the same time you notified Young Master Lu to come and teach us a lesson."

"As a result, not only did I not get to occupy the new house, but I also lost a lot of money. How do you think you should compensate me?"

Is Young Master Lu going to help Jian Ruoxi again? And he arrived just in time.

This was something she hadn't expected.

However, the Jian family's efficiency is really slow. Why didn't they deal with Jian Ruoxi before Young Master Lu arrived?

Han Mingyi's mind raced. She realized that Jian Mengyu might still be useful later, so she decided to keep her in check for now.

"I'm just an entertainer in the entertainment industry. How could I possibly have the connections to invite Young Master Lu?"

"I've only met Lu Shao a few times, let alone spoken to him."

Jian Mengyu was half-believing and half-doubting Han Mingyi's words, which didn't seem like a lie.

"It really wasn't you?"

But if it weren't for her, how could Young Master Lu have arrived so timely?

"Of course not. I'm only thinking of what's best for you, why would I ask someone to ruin your plans?"

"As for why Young Master Lu came in the end, I guess only Jian Ruoxi knows."

Jian Ruoxi!

From the moment she first entered the Jian family and saw her, Jian Mengyu knew that only one of them could exist between them.

"However, you don't need to be discouraged so soon. Jian Ruoxi may not be the one who has the last laugh," Han Mingyi said with a sneer.

Her move to put the Jian family here wasn't just to create a scene between them and Jian Ruoxi.

"You have a backup plan?"

She hadn't heard Han Mingyi say that beforehand.

"Just wait and see, the real show will begin tonight." Han Mingyi had already received the video from the paparazzi and was watching it with great interest in her room.

This time, she wanted to see how Jian Ruoxi could escape unscathed.

When Jian Ruoxi brought out the cooked food, she only saw Lu Shen in the dining room.

What's going on? Are you suggesting we let her face Lu Shen alone?

Did those two just run away?

They called themselves best friends, but faced with Lu Shen's imposing presence, they ran faster than rabbits.

Where did they go?

Lu Shen spread his hands innocently, "I don't know either. It seems that Xiao Jin was interested in a newly opened restaurant and didn't want to eat at home, so she took your little maid with her."

Jian Ruoxi mentally cursed them for being disloyal hundreds of times.

"It's alright if they're not here, you can eat these first."

She had cooked quite a few dishes, but now all the food went to Lu Shen.

Lu Shen didn't stand on ceremony with her and started eating with his chopsticks.

"They're all very good. Your cooking skills have improved a lot."

Upon hearing this, Jian Ruoxi's chopsticks, which were about to pick up food, froze in mid-air. "Really? Do you know what my original cooking skills were like?"

She thought Lu Shen had never cared.

"You forgot, the meals you cooked before, I ended up eating them all, so naturally I know more about them than anyone else."

That's true, but Jian Ruoxi vaguely remembered that he seemed to dislike it.

In those three years, I never once heard him praise his own cooking.

What's wrong now?

"Actually, you didn't have to eat it if you didn't want to."

She loved him deeply back then, and even though she never heard Lu Shen praise her cooking, she would still prepare it for him patiently.

Even just hearing one sentence would be enough.

Love is humble and cautious.

If Lu Shen were to hate her to the extreme and say he never wants to eat her cooking again, she wouldn't have to hold onto that little bit of hope every day.

"Who said I didn't want to at the time?" Lu Shen quickly explained to her, afraid that she would misunderstand.

"If I don't want to, who can force me to eat?"

"Besides, how can I eat the next meal you cook for me if I don't finish it all?"

He only realized this belatedly.

During the time Jian Ruoxi was away from home, he couldn't eat. Even a five-star Michelin chef couldn't make the kind of delicious food he wanted.

At first, he just thought his taste had become picky, but later he realized it was because he had long been used to Jian Ruoxi's cooking.

From habit to liking, and then to being inseparable from it.

As they were talking, Lu Shen had already devoured all the food on the table.

"Have you not eaten for days?"

Why does Lu Shen look like a starving ghost right now? Could it be that his real purpose today is to mooch a meal off her?

Jian Ruoxi was astonished by Lu Shen's appetite.

"There's been so much going on at the company these past few days that I haven't had a proper meal in a couple of days."

"Alright, go and rest. I'll take care of things here." Lu Shen shooed Jian Ruoxi back to her room.

"you?"

Lu Shen is going to do housework? This is something that would never happen in the Lu family.

After all, Lu Jiaguang had a large number of servants at his disposal, so the master didn't need to do anything.

Does he know how to wash the dishes?

Jian Ruoxi was not only worried about her own pots and pans, but also prayed that they would not suffer too much damage from Lu Shen.
