Shen Nanzhi had been with Lu Yanzhou for seven years, yet she couldn't compare to the excitement and novelty others brought him. She prided herself on being an emotional repair specialist, safe...
Chapter 406 You Have Changed, and I Have Changed Too
From the moment he came in, Lu Yanzhou's attention has always been on Shen Nanzhi.
But Shen Nanzhi did not show any surprise at his arrival, as if she had expected it.
This discovery gave Lu Yanzhou a momentary sense of foreboding.
But no matter what, today is the last chance.
If this fails, there will be no chance.
"Zhizhi——"
"Lu Yanzhou, we're not that familiar with each other, are we? Please call me Miss Shen," after a pause, Shen Nanzhi continued, "If you want to call me aunt, that's fine."
The teasing and mocking tone stirred up waves in Lu Yanzhou's calm mood.
After a moment, Lu Yanzhou said, "Let's have a good chat."
Shen Nanzhi heard this sentence no less than three times.
Although he was ridiculed by her every time, Lu Yanzhou obviously would not give up easily.
Shen Nanzhi paused tapping the rim of the cup and nodded slightly, "What do you want to talk about?"
Is this a disguised consent?
Realizing this, Lu Yanzhou's eyes flashed with joy for a moment, but eventually fell silent.
Ji Yunshu didn't dare to breathe.
Trying hard to play the role of a transparent person.
But in her heart, she hoped that Shen Nanzhi could reconcile with Lu Yanzhou.
There are two reasons.
First of all, she will live a rich life for the rest of her life, without having to worry about food and clothing, and she can even find a rich and honest man to marry.
Secondly, Ana Shen recycled the men she had used.
How can this not be considered a win?
Although she and Lu Yanzhou did not have any substantial relationship, most people believed that she had dated Lu Yanzhou.
We are all adults. Even if you deny or clarify, how many people will really believe it?
Anyway, it's fine as long as Shen Nanzhi can be really disgusted.
Ji Yunshu thought darkly and truthfully.
Lu Yanzhou said: "Zhizhi, there is a misunderstanding between us. Ji Yunshu and I have nothing to do with each other. You——"
"Lu Yanzhou, if you keep on yelling nonsense, then we have nothing to talk about."
After saying this, Shen Nanzhi made a gesture to stand up.
Lu Yanzhou quickly changed his words: “Miss Shen.”
Only then did Shen Nanzhi continue to sit down with satisfaction.
Lu Yanzhou suppressed the anger surging in his heart, but his face remained expressionless, and his fingers were clenched so hard that the knuckles turned slightly white.
He said, "I have never betrayed you."
Shen Nanzhi smiled again.
She laughed more tonight than she had ever laughed in the past.
Lu Yanzhou and Ji Yunshu are really two funny guys. They can say funny things and still be serious.
They both deserve an award.
Unfortunately, Shen Nanzhi is not idle.
Shen Nanzhi said: "You didn't betray me? Lu Yanzhou, listen to it yourself, isn't it ridiculous? Not all betrayals require a relationship. As long as you start to lean towards another person, the relationship has come to an end."
Originally, Shen Nanzhi wanted to list in detail the things that Lu Yanzhou did with his double standards.
But if you think about it, it has no meaning other than wasting your breath and time.
Maybe Lu Yanzhou would mistakenly think that she had not let him go and feel resentful about it.
That would be a waste of time.
If Shen Nanzhi didn't want to catch An Rou, he wouldn't have gotten involved.
Thinking of this, Shen Nanzhi lowered his head and sent a message to Shen Yao: [Go out and take a look to see if An Rou is there.]
Lu Yanzhou came in by himself.
There was no sign of An Rou around.
If An Rou was brought with her, she would definitely be hiding in some corner waiting for orders.
If she wasn't there, then Ana Shen just wanted to leave quickly.
However, based on her understanding of Lu Yanzhou, when there is only one last chance left, he will definitely be 100% prepared.
Therefore, there is an eighty percent probability that Lu Yanzhou brought An Rou with him.
So that no more accidents would happen.
After receiving the message, Chen Yao immediately left his phone there and left the cafe with a spare phone.
Fortunately, neither Lu Yanzhou nor Ji Yunshu paid attention to him.
Their attention was all on Shen Nanzhi.
Shen Nanzhi's words just now made Lu Yanzhou immediately think of a reason to refute. He said with a serious look: "I just feel sorry for Ji Yunshu. I have never been moved by her. I swear."
Not a single word of a man's oath can be trusted.
Shen Nanzhi knows this very well.
Therefore, she treated every word and every sentence Lu Yanzhou said as fart.
There is no need to listen at all.
All that is meaningless nonsense.
Ji Yunshu quickly chimed in, "Miss Shen, what Mr. Lu said is true. I couldn't even eat at the beginning, and it was Mr. Lu who gave me money out of pity for me."
Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but laughed out loud.
Her eyebrows curved, which reduced a bit of the coldness. After a moment, she raised an eyebrow and said, "Do you know what you look like now?"
Like what?
Lu Yanzhou and Ji Yunshu's hearts tightened at the same time.
"Like a husband singing and a wife following."
…
*
Chen Yao pushed open the door of the cafe, and the cold wind outside blew in his face.
He was so cold that he couldn't help shivering.
Going out on a winter night is really a torture.
But since Shen Nanzhi asked him to find An Rou, he must not let Sister Nanzhi down!
There were bright street lights on both sides of the asphalt road, and the exhaled breath seemed to turn into white mist immediately.
Chen Yao tried his best to find a place to hide, and soon his eyes were fixed on the entrance of the alley opposite.
If I hadn't been dazzled, it would have seemed like a figure flashed by.
Shen Yao lowered his head and sent a message to Shen Nanzhi, without saying in a certain tone that it was An Rou.
But Shen Nanzhi already had a clue in his mind.
Let Chen Yao in.
Chen Yao went back again this time.
While paying attention to what was happening on Shen Nanzhi's side, he was also brushing his own comment section.
They were all shouting at him to start a live broadcast.
But can this live broadcast be carried out?
If it were only Ji Yunshu and Shen Nanzhi, Shen Yao might not have hesitated.
But Lu Yanzhou is here!
If Lu’s stock price falls because of his live broadcast, he will become a sinner!
By then he will definitely be scolded to death by his family.
Therefore, Chen Yao directly replied with three words: [Inconvenient.]
Although he also wanted someone to eat melons with him, but when it came down to choosing between his life and eating melons, his life was more important.
After all, the Shen and Lu families appear to be quite harmonious, and my mother and Lu Yanzhou's mother are good friends, so this is even more unacceptable.
On this point, Chen Yao still has some brains.
[If it’s inconvenient, you can just not film people and let us hear the sound! ]
"Could it be that it's some kind of taboo scene that's why it's inconvenient? So, brother, how about you tell us the address and we can do it ourselves?"
"We've all met Ji Yunshu and Shen Nanzhi. How could it be inconvenient? Brother, please explain clearly!"
[Could it be that a fight has started? From what I understand, only live-streaming a fight will result in a ban.]
[Fighting is even more exciting! I want to see it! Since you're not live streaming, can you record some videos? I can pay to watch it later and post it separately!]
[Shen Nanzhi definitely has the upper hand. Ji Yunshu is in such a state that she can't win at all.]
[Maybe the news will show Ji Yunshu being admitted to the hospital soon.]
"Brother, you always hide things like this. If you really don't want us to see it, then don't tell us! If you leave things unsaid, you'll be punished by heaven! I curse you to eat instant noodles without the seasoning packet!"
[Well, although I understand your current mood, I want to say that rich people don't eat instant noodles, so the question of whether there is a seasoning packet does not exist.]
[What a heartbreaking statement... Instant noodles are reserved for the poor.]
What's wrong with instant noodles? Instant noodles are better than anything else! It's their loss if they don't eat them!
Who says rich people don't like instant noodles? There's a little princess in our dorm whose monthly living expenses are over ten thousand yuan. It seems her family owns some kind of company. Last time, I was eating instant noodles in the dorm, and she came over curiously and asked me what they were. I told her they were instant noodles, and she said she'd never had them before and wanted to try them. So I gave her a bite, and that's when she started eating instant noodles for the next week! She tries a different flavor every day!
[Eating instant noodles for a week...won't you throw up?]
[Perhaps because she's never had it before, she can't stop eating it. It turns out instant noodles are delicious to everyone!]
[Then I curse my brother to never be liked by Shen Nanzhi! ]
[Sister, your curse is too poisonous. Everyone knows that my brother is my sister's treasure boy. If Shen Nanzhi doesn't like him anymore, wouldn't the sky fall? ]
[Humph! Who told him to keep us in suspense?]
[Is there a possibility that Chen Yao didn't say anything and netizens guessed it? ]
[These netizens are always right in their guesses, and since Chen Yao didn't refute it, they took it seriously.]
[Chen Yao: Sure enough, there are still some wise people in this world! I'm being wronged! I really didn't say anything! I was just asking a question!]
[My younger brother is miserable, but he doesn't deserve my sympathy. He's eating melons behind our backs. No laughing.]
What on earth did Ji Yunshu do to make her brother, who was so good-tempered, feel the urge to hit someone?
[I have sent a private message to Ji Yunshu, asking where she is.]
Ji Yunshu probably doesn't read private messages or comments, after all, most of them are insulting her, so out of sight, out of mind.
[People with a lot of fans and big reputations usually don't read private messages, so your private messages are useless!]
[It seems so, but I really want to eat the melons there! ]
[Brother, you're being so secretive. I suspect there aren't just Ji Yunshu and Shen Nanzhi here. There must be someone else, and that person is someone that Brother is very wary of.]
[Fear...it can't be Mr. Fu, right?]
[That shouldn't be possible. If Mr. Fu were still around, what would be the use for my younger brother?]
【What about Lu Yanzhou? 】
[Lu Yanzhou...it's not impossible. After all, Lu Yanzhou and Ji Yunshu are a couple now, so there's no problem in going to Ji Yunshu.]
[Did you go and show off your affection in front of Teacher Shen? Could you please stop being so disgusting?]
Lu Yanzhou is truly hopeless. We thought we could scold him and wake him up! But he remains loyal to Ji Yunshu. What a loser!
[How can a cheating man still be so devoted? Why does it feel like there's something fishy going on? Is there a possibility that Lu Yanzhou deliberately went to find Shen Nanzhi under the guise of Ji Yunshu?]
[Hey, don't tell me, your guess is a little close to the truth.]
[Actually, if you look closely, in the videos Ji Yunshu posted, there's no actual intimate contact between her and Lu Yanzhou. Most of them are just borrowed shots, a bit like the acting in a TV drama, just to achieve a certain goal.]
[Right, right, right! Do you remember the photo that was once leaked online? It was taken by Lu Yanzhou and Ji Yunshu. At that time, Ji Yunshu looked very similar to Shen Nanzhi. That was the only photo of them with any physical contact.]
[You look just like me...hiss, the rich are really frivolous, I can't even imagine it.]
[Wait, so Lu Yanzhou has always liked Shen Nanzhi? But this doesn't make sense. If he liked Shen Nanzhi, why would Lu Yanzhou cheat?]
[If you like someone, you won't do anything to let your partner down, so your guess is not valid.]
How could there be no speculation? Couldn't it be that they fell in love first, then slowly stopped loving over time? Then another woman happened to appear, and the novelty of the new woman made it understandable that they acted impulsively.
[Understand infidelity? Your values are hopeless! I think you're a habitual cheater in real life, right? If you want something new, you'll just be repeating the same cycle of breakups and falling in love for the rest of your life!]
This generation of netizens is full of talent. Some sympathize with mistresses, while others understand infidelity. Are you crazy, or are you just crazy? Didn't your parents teach you the right values?
[This kind of person is just a waste of air. It makes me so angry! ]
Is Lu Yanzhou your father or your mother? You understand him so well? This is hilarious. I hope that if your wife cheats on you in the future, you'll understand that it's all involuntary!
[Brother, are you really not considering starting a livestream? I'm going to give my Carnival to someone else!]
[Where's the guy who just mentioned locating the location? It's been ten minutes, have you found it yet?]
I sent him a private message, but he read it but didn't reply. I guess he was just trying to attract attention. I said there was no media, so how could he possibly find it?
[It was a waste of joy. I curse him for eating instant noodles without a seasoning packet or a fork!]
"Brother, there's actually another solution. Since it's inconvenient for you to live stream, how about just relaying it in text? We've already humbled ourselves to this point, so please have some mercy on us, the spectators!"
[Second! As long as you relay this in text, you will be my god from now on!]
[Brother: Please stop making things difficult for me! It's really inconvenient!]
Let's break up. Since my brother doesn't want to, we shouldn't force him. Maybe it's really inconvenient for him.
[I won't disband! I need a reasonable explanation today, or I'll stop being a fan!]
"No, you take yourself too seriously, don't you? Your brother is the son of a wealthy family, well-fed and well-clothed, so why would he care about your attention? Have you seen him accept any ads? He's completely treating this as his social circle!"
[Then, from now on, we will collectively isolate you! No matter what you post, we won't comment or like it!]
[…Brilliant! You’re still the best! You even came up with this trick.]
[That makes sense, isolate your younger brother! ]
Guess why my brother posts on Weibo as if it were his Moments? It must be because no one on Moments is paying attention to him!
【……】
The more Chen Yao looked back, the more his heart ached.
No one understands his suffering.
In fact, he also wanted to bring everyone to eat melon together, but it was really inconvenient.
With Lu Yanzhou sitting here, who knows what shocking things he might do? And An Rou is still sneaking around outside, maybe she'll mention that poisonous insect!
Chen Yao had seen it several times.
Tiny, sticky, and disgusting.
If it is true, with hundreds of thousands of people in the live broadcast room, you can imagine how fast the spread will be.
Chen Yao didn't want to cause such a big mess.
The scene returns to Shen Nanzhi's side.
After hearing Shen Nanzhi's words "husband sings and wife follows", Ji Yunshu's expression stiffened, and she felt the gloomy aura emanating from Lu Yanzhou.
Just shut up.
If she had known that she would be humiliated like this by Ana Shen, she shouldn’t have spoken just now!
Now that's better.
All the words that Lu Yanzhou was asked to explain became nonsense.
Shen Nanzhi still didn't want to believe that they had no relationship.
"Ms. Zhi, Ms. Chen," Lu Yanzhou's stern face was covered with a layer of haze, "Are you so convinced that I cheated?"
Shen Nanzhi said innocently: “It’s not that I firmly believe it, it’s obvious to everyone. Even if you ask the school forum now, everyone will say that you cheated on Ji Yunshu.”
Everyone has sharp eyes.
They all saw how Lu Yanzhou treated Ji Yunshu.
Although she didn't say it on the surface, she labeled him as a cheater in her heart.
Lu Yanzhou choked, still unyielding, "That's because they don't understand me. You and I grew up together, childhood sweethearts. Don't you know who I am?"
His friendship with Shen Nanzhi lasted longer than others imagined.
When they first met, he was four years old and Shen Nanzhi was also four years old.
Among all the chubby little kids in the kindergarten, Shen Nanzhi really stands out. She is so small and cute standing in the corner.
Lu Yanzhou remembered it very clearly.
He imitated what was shown in the TV series. Although he liked Shen Nanzhi, he insisted on doing some annoying things to attract her attention.
For example, dirtying her little skirt or pulling her hair.
Unlike other children, Shen Nanzhi did not cry, but said righteously that she did not like this.
This was also the beginning of their fate.
Lu Yanzhou had even thought of the name of their future child, but who could have expected that they would break up?
Shen Nanzhi restrained the smile on her lips, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes were emotionless.
It was more like a mockery and ridicule as if hearing some joke.
"Lu Yanzhou, haven't you heard a saying? People change."
"You've changed, and I've changed too."
Even if I loved you in the past, that was in the past.
Just like a broken mirror, it is impossible for there to be no cracks at all.
Some things are missed and can never be returned.
The atmosphere became tense.
It was a rare moment of silence.
At this time, the waiter in the store brought three cups of warm water. He kept his head down the whole time, not daring to look around. "Please enjoy your meal, sir."
The water in the cup was so calm that there was not a single ripple.
Shen Nanzhi seemed to be thinking about something.
Ji Yunshu smiled awkwardly, "We've been talking for so long, drink some water, everyone."
After saying that, he took the first big sip.
The dry throat was moistened and felt much more comfortable.
Lu Yanzhou didn't drink, still staring at Shen Nanzhi, "We haven't changed, there are just misunderstandings. It's okay once the misunderstanding is resolved."
"Lu Yanzhou, you are so naive. Do you really think this is a misunderstanding? Are you stupid or am I?"
Ana Shen sneered, her hand touched the wall of the cup, and she lowered her eyes, "I am your aunt now, and there is no possibility of reconciliation between you and me, so don't waste your time. If you have this free time, you might as well think about how to carry forward the Lu family and not let your family feel disappointed with you."
She has only a vague understanding of business.
But he also knew how much damage Lu Yanzhou's willfulness would cause to the company.
The last time Lu Yanzhou and Fu Qingyan had a fight and were sent to the hospital, those standing outside were all members of the Lu family's side branches. The ambitions in their eyes were undoubtedly exposed. If Fu Jing hadn't been so determined to stand up to them, the Lu family would have been divided up and nothing would have been left.
But Lu Yanzhou seemed not to realize the seriousness of the matter.
I still do what I want.
If this was her son, Shen Nanzhi would definitely slap him to death and pretend that she had never given birth to such a son!
It's simply disgraceful.
Lu Yanzhou: "Miss Shen, you don't think Fu Qingyan is a good match, do you?"
When mentioning Fu Qingyan, the disgust in Lu Yanzhou's eyes was so strong that it was about to overflow.
He sneered through gritted teeth. "He didn't explain much to you about the photo last time, did he? You don't even know the identity of that woman, do you?"
Shen Nanzhi half-closed his eyes. How did Lu Yanzhou know so clearly?
Perhaps guessing what Shen Nanzhi was thinking, Lu Yanzhou continued: "If he had no guilty conscience and hadn't done anything to offend you, he could have explained it to you openly, but Fu Qingyan didn't. What do you think he's guilty about?"
Fu Qingyan is also a man.
Men understand men best.
A person who dares not make himself known to the public must have some shady relationship behind him.
Shen Nanzhi could actually accept this, but why was she unwilling to forgive him?
How can I compare with an old man who is almost 30 years old?
The more I think about it, the more intense the flames of jealousy burn in my heart.
I wish I could beat Fu Qingyan up right now.
Shen Nanzhi: "As a junior, what right do you have to talk about your elders? Lu Yanzhou, are you so rebellious?"
Shen Nanzhi did not fall into the trap set by Lu Yanzhou.
But change the subject.
Lu Yanzhou noticed this and clenched his hands into fists again after finally loosening them.
Under his cold gaze, Shen Nanzhi picked up the water glass and took a sip.
Ji Yunshu was overjoyed.
Drink it!
Lu Yanzhou: "Miss Shen, why do you have to deceive yourself? You know whether what I said is true or not."
What kind of magic potion did Fu Qingyan give Shen Nanzhi?
It was possible for Shen Nanzhi to believe it to such an extent!
But the most important thing at the moment is not to clarify things with Shen Nanzhi.
Just now, Shen Nanzhi had already drunk the water.
Now we should think about how to get rid of this annoying guy Chen Yao.
Chen Yao is a sister complex.
Without Shen Nanzhi's order, he would never leave easily.
Maybe... he also informed Fu Qingyan.
Lu Yanzhou's eyes darkened again. It was time for Ji Yunshu to make a contribution.
She pretended to look sneaky and stammered that she needed to go to the bathroom.
Such a poor performance made Shen Nanzhi utter a 'tsk' sound.
Just in case, she sent a message to Chen Yao, asking him to go over and see what Ji Yunshu was up to.
Soon, the two figures disappeared in the corridor.
The waiter didn't know where he had gone. At this moment, only Shen Nanzhi and Lu Yanzhou were left in the entire hall.
Shen Nanzhi vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Lu Yanzhou took this opportunity to send a message to An Rou, asking her to come in.
