"Nobody taught me to be polite," Lu Zhiwei said, feigning distress as a strategic retreat.

Lu Jingyao pretended not to understand, "Little sister, you've probably never seen such a beautiful ruby ​​before, have you?"

"Then what?"

“You’ve suffered a lot while you were away from home all these years. This level of gemstone doesn’t suit you. I’ll give you a prettier one.” She regretted it. She decided to exchange it for a fake one. After all, she was just a little beggar who had returned from abroad and didn’t know anything about gems.

"No need, this is already very beautiful." Lu Zhiwei smiled and tossed the jewelry box into the drawer, locking it in front of her.

Lu Jingyao watched helplessly as the jewelry box was locked away, cursing it under her breath.

——

Night falls.

Shen Jinmo sat in a booth at the Enchanting Night Bar, holding a glass of very strong whiskey in his hand.

Qi Mingli, a best friend who grew up with Qi Mingli, walked into the bar and threw an invitation on the table: "I have to go to a banquet, I don't have time to drink with you."

Shen Jinmo glanced at the cover of the invitation, which featured the exclusive logo of the Lu Group.

"Didn't you receive an invitation?" Qi Mingli asked.

"..." Shen Jinmo glared at him.

“That’s right. The Shen family and the Lu family have always been mortal enemies in the business world. Uncle Shen’s death back then was also related to the Lu family. Even if the Lu family dared to invite you, you wouldn’t go.”

What kind of banquet is the Lu family hosting?

"The Lu family's daughter has been living abroad for many years. Now that she has been found, Lu Yunsheng is going to throw a lavish banquet for her that will attract worldwide attention."

"Oh." Shen Jinmo replied with little interest.

He never cared about the Lu family's affairs, and in fact, he would feel particularly resistant if he heard about them.

"However, speaking of which, the Lu family's daughter's name seems to be Lu Zhiwei, which is the same as your wife's name."

Qi Mingli said something casually.

"What did you say?" His words stirred up a huge controversy.
