Lu Anyu was even more excited to recognize his mother. He climbed up from the sofa and ran into Lu Zhiwei's arms.

"Mommy, An'an missed you so much."

Lu Zhiwei deftly opened her arms and scooped the little one into her embrace. "Mommy missed you so much too. How have you been these past few days? Will you dare to skip class and run away again?"

The little boy, his eyes red and brimming with tears, shook his head desperately, saying, "I never want to be separated from Mommy again."

After calming Lu Anyu down, Lu Zhiwei sat down on the sofa opposite Shen Jinmo.

"Mr. Shen, thank you very much for taking care of my son."

Sitting upright, Shen Jinmo held a cup of coffee, took a small sip, and said, "It was nothing, and besides, he is my son."

One sentence made Lu Zhiwei's expression suddenly freeze.

Shen Jinmo stared at her with his dark eyes unblinkingly: "A son you acknowledge is still a son."

Lu Zhiwei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I've fixed the music box, I've bought you coffee, I'm taking my son and leaving now."

Lu Zhiwei was afraid that the woman in the mall who was pretending to be her wouldn't be able to fool Luo Xiu for long, so she had to take her son away as soon as possible.

Shen Jinmo spoke up to stop her: "Ms. Lu, I would like to hire you as the chief jewelry designer for the Shen Group. Would you be interested?"

"I'm not interested," Lu Zhiwei refused directly.

“My brother picked An’an up from the venue. You said he did you a favor, and you would do anything for him. He’s currently managing the Shen Group, and he and I have the same goal: to invite a talented designer like Miss Lu to lend her all his expertise.”

Shen Jinmo parted his thin lips slightly, speaking at a moderate pace, as if he had already planned to use this favor as leverage to force Lu Zhiwei to agree.

"Mommy, if you don't keep your word, you'll be struck by lightning!" Lu Anyu reminded Lu Zhiwei with his big, innocent, dark eyes.

Lu Zhiwei touched her forehead, wondering what kind of spell Shen Jinmo had cast on her son, that he had turned against him after only a short time together.

"If Miss Lu really doesn't want to, I won't force her."

I just got a rumor that TK Jewelry is about to launch a deep collaboration with Lotte, using monopolistic economic tactics in the global market to squeeze out other companies. The design industry should be a place where all kinds of talents flourish.

"If they do this, I'm afraid the entire design industry will become the domain of the Luo family..."

During the four years that Lu Zhiwei spent in the United States keeping a low profile, she kept track of all the movements of the Luo Group.

How could she not know Luo Xiu's ambition?

At that time, her artist alliance, and even the Lu Group in Yunzhou, will probably not be able to escape unscathed.

By helping the Shen Group expand its influence in the M country, it can be used to counterbalance the Luo family.

It would indeed be difficult for her to fight Luo Xiu on her own; cooperation is the only way to achieve a win-win situation.

“I can join, but I must bring my own design team. Also, I need all your designers to submit a design to me. I will help you get rid of those who try to take the money and don’t know how to innovate or make progress for ten years.”

Shen Jinmo readily agreed: "Okay, I'll do exactly as you say."

He then stood up and solemnly extended his hand to her: "It's a pleasure working with you."

Lu Zhiwei stared at the hand he offered, stunned for a second.

She casually placed her hand in his palm, and their hands gently clasped together: "It's a pleasure working with you."

Having reached a cooperation agreement with Shen Jinmo, Lu Zhiwei hurriedly left the coffee shop with Lu Anyu.

Lu Zhiwei and Lu Anyu had just left the coffee shop.

Luo Xiu and his men burst into the coffee shop right after.

He was still dealing with company affairs when the constant deduction notifications on his phone made him very suspicious.

At first, he thought Lu Zhiwei was angry with him and was deliberately swiping his card excessively.

He was also very happy.

It's a good thing that she's willing to spend his money.

It wasn't until the woman entered a mango dessert shop that the payment record popped up.

Luo Xiu then noticed something amiss.

Lu Zhiwei is allergic to mangoes, so how could she possibly eat mango-based desserts?

When he arrived at the mall, he dragged the woman out of the dessert shop.

He could tell at a glance that the person was fake.

The coffee shop was deserted; Lu Zhiwei was nowhere to be seen.

Shen Jinmo, on the other hand, remained seated, leisurely savoring his first cup of coffee of the morning.

Luo Xiu walked straight toward him, his body radiating a sinister and angry aura. He gripped the coffee table with both hands and forcefully overturned it.

Bang--

The coffee table, along with the coffee on it, was overturned and fell to the ground.

A few drops of splattered coffee landed on Shen Jinmo's expensive suit, and a few drops of brown liquid also stained his delicate profile, dripping down his superior jawline.

Shen Jinmo's cold features remained expressionless.

He calmly took out a handkerchief from his suit pocket and wiped his face clean.

"Where are they? Shen Jinmo, you dare to snatch people from under my nose? Believe me, I'll shoot you right now."

Enraged, Luo Xiu pulled out a pistol and aimed it at Shen Jinmo's forehead.

Not just now, but years ago, when he heard that Lu Zhiwei was going to marry him, he had already wanted to do the same.

Who is it?

"Stop playing dumb with me. The person who asked you to meet at the coffee shop was Lu Zhiwei. You dare say you didn't know that?"

“I have never seen Lu Zhiwei. You can check the surveillance footage at the scene and see if the person in the footage is Lu Zhiwei.”

Shen Jinmo shrugged and said calmly.

"She's wearing makeup, can't you recognize her?"

“I don’t have Mr. Luo’s discerning eye to recognize someone who has had makeup done at a glance. I just bought a music box and had this designer repair it for me. She came to deliver it.”
