"What? He's Lu Zhengye?"

"Keep your voice down, the person in question is here."

...

Lin Yusheng then realized that she had put him in the center of public opinion.

At this moment, the Lu family's butler arrived with bodyguards.

"Second Young Master," the butler greeted Lu Zhengye respectfully.

Lu Zhengye gave a faint "hmm".

The butler then turned his gaze to Lin Yusheng and said apologetically, "Miss Lin, I'm so sorry, there were too many people here today. It was my oversight. I'll throw the troublemaker out right now."

After the butler finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed, becoming serious and cold. "Someone, throw her out. From now on, she will never be allowed to set foot in the Lu residence again."

The "she" in this context naturally refers to Deng Xingwen.

With Deng Rongfan gone, Deng Xingwen dared not resist any longer.

She was escorted out by the Lu family's bodyguards, and her resentment towards Lin Yusheng grew stronger.

Lu Zhengye's magnetic and pleasant voice rang out above Lin Yusheng's head, "You can come down now."

Lin Yusheng was still clinging to Lu Zhengye, her slender white hands already wrapped around his neck.

Upon hearing this, she said with a pitiful expression, "My feet hurt."

Their words, full of coquettishness, even made Butler Lu look up at the two of them.

After saying this, Lin Yusheng felt very uneasy because she was testing Lu Zhengye and exploring the possibility of winning him over.

She cautiously looked up, and Lu Zhengye, noticing her gaze, also lowered his head. Their eyes met, their gazes lingering.

In the end, Lin Yusheng was defeated. Looking into Lu Zhengye's deep eyes, she felt that he had seen through all her secret thoughts.

Lin Yusheng slowly moved off him. Just then, Jiang Yuanshuang, who had just gone out for some fresh air with her girlfriends, returned from outside.

Lin Jingyu was following behind her.

Upon seeing Lin Yusheng's appearance, the two rushed over anxiously.

Lin Jingyu was particularly fast. He frowned with worry and asked Lin Yusheng, "How did you get into such a mess?"

Lin Yusheng opened her mouth, about to speak, when the enthusiastic people around her rushed to explain the whole story.

Jiang Yuanshuang was trembling with anger. "How could Old Deng raise such an ill-mannered daughter?"

Lin Jingyu took off his suit jacket and draped it over Lin Yusheng. Jiang Yuanshuang hugged her with red eyes, her face full of heartache.

Just as Lin Yusheng was about to turn around to look for Lu Zhengye, she realized that he had already left sometime earlier.

Lin Jingyu: "Is Uncle Deng here? He should give us an explanation."

Lin Mu was still upstairs discussing matters. As the man of the family, Lin Jingyu felt that he should seek justice for his sister.

Lin Yusheng said, "After seeing me being pushed down by Deng Xingwen, Uncle Deng secretly left by himself."

Jiang Yuanshuang immediately guessed Deng Rongfan's thoughts. She snorted coldly and mocked, "A selfish and cowardly man."

Jiang Yuanshuang is gentle and rarely gets so angry and direct, which warms Lin Yusheng's heart.

She simply couldn't understand why her parents, who loved her so much, would commit suicide in their past life.

The butler then came out to appease them, saying, "I have already kicked Miss Deng out. I am truly sorry, it was our oversight. The Lu family has a family doctor. Please come with me to have your wounds treated."

"Okay, okay."

...

In fact, Lin Yusheng's wounds were not deep; it was just that her skin was delicate, so the wounds appeared terrifying.

After the wound was treated and she returned, Shen Yishu appeared.

"What happened, Sheng Sheng? I was only gone for a short while, how did you get so disheveled?"

Seeing her best friend's anxious look, Lin Yusheng was touched. She wiped the sweat from Shen Yishu's face and said, "It's nothing serious, don't worry."

Shen Yishu still blamed herself, "I told my mom I didn't want to get to know any young masters from the Chen or Li families, but she wouldn't listen, and now you're injured and I'm not even there for you."

Lin Yusheng gently flicked her forehead. "What nonsense are you talking about? My injury is my business, it has nothing to do with you, and it has even less to do with your aunt."

Seeing that the two girls got along so well, Jiang Yuanshuang was genuinely happy. She said, "Shushu, you've come at the right time. Why don't you go back with Shengsheng first?"

"Okay, Auntie. Sheng Sheng, let me help you."

Lin Yusheng glanced at her mother, and Jiang Yuanshuang smiled and said, "Go back first, your brother and I will wait for your father."

"good."

Lin Yusheng looked towards the second floor again, but still didn't see Lu Zhengye. She was a little disappointed.

She can't even meet him in person; it's going to be difficult for her to win him over.

After Shen Yishu and Lin Yusheng got into the car, she noticed that there was another sandalwood box in the car, which looked even more exquisite than the one she had just given to Master Lu.

"Sheng Sheng, how come there's one more?"

Lin Yusheng took it in her hand, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "This is what I originally planned to give to Lu Zhengye."

Shen Yishu's face was filled with disbelief, and she whispered, "Are you serious? You care about him so much."

"It's not really that. I just knew he liked incense, and since I'd already bought it, one more box wouldn't hurt."

Seeing the two ladies whispering to each other, the driver sensibly raised the partition.

Lin Yusheng no longer needed to hide the desolation in her eyes. She slumped in her chair and told Shen Yishu about how Lu Zhengye had appeared and rescued her that day.

Shen Yishu clicked her tongue in amazement, "I never thought such a novel-like plot would happen to you."

"What are you talking about? Isn't my life exactly like something out of a novel?"

Yes, yes, yes.

Just then, the car drove past the entrance of the Lu family's old house.

Because the banquet was not over yet, there was no one outside the door at the moment, which allowed Lin Yusheng to see Lu Zhengye immediately.

He stood by the roadside smoking, wearing only a white shirt; his black suit jacket had been taken off.

Lin Yusheng excitedly banged on the partition to get the driver to stop, and then got out herself.

"Lu Zhengye," Lin Yusheng called out, waving her hand.

Lu Zhengye saw Lin Yusheng, dressed in a red dress, limping towards him, her hands bandaged up like a rice dumpling, and holding a wooden box.

Lu Zhengye didn't care at all about Lin Yusheng's injured foot; he didn't move it at all.

Lin Yusheng gritted her teeth and silently made a mental note of it.

However, she still had a smile on her face, because Lu Zhengye's future power would be so great that it would overshadow his shortcomings.

When Lin Yusheng came to him, Lu Zhengye straightened up a bit and asked, "Is there something you need?"

"Hmm. This is for you."

Lin Yusheng handed the wooden box to Lu Zhengye.

"I don't need it."

"But I smelled incense on you before, so I thought you had that habit."

Lu Zhengye sneered and slowly asked, "Do you know what sandalwood had in ancient times?"
