Lu Jinghuai glanced at Shen Wenran.

However, the woman stopped muttering to herself and instead looked at him.

"Honey, the housekeeper says we have guests."

Lu Jinghuai simply said, "I understand. Push me over there."

He knew very well that Shen Wenran really did come from the outside world.

And since the world he inhabits is a book, this woman will know the entire ending of the book.

This also includes what will happen to him in the future.

Soon, the two arrived at the living room.

Lu Shen saw the two people from afar and took the initiative to come over to greet them.

"Brother, sister-in-law. Brother, I was away on a business trip when you woke up. I just got back today. I'm relieved to see you're alright now."

As Lu Shen spoke, he looked heartbroken.

Shen Wenran remained silent throughout, instead displaying an attitude of dislike towards him.

— Ha, what a piece of trash. He's putting on this act of brotherly love right now, but who knows what he's cursing Lu Jinghuai behind his back.

— He said he was back from a business trip, but he just went on vacation to the Maldives and was surrounded by women.

—Wait, if I remember correctly, Lu Shen embezzled a lot of Lu's money. If we get it back, will I get a bigger share in the divorce settlement?

corruption?

Lu Jinghuai glanced at Shen Wenran again.

Then she turned her gaze to Lu Shen, took out her phone, and sent a message.

[Immediately check Lu Shen's accounting records at the company.]

Lu Shen exchanged a few more pleasantries, but Shen Wenran remained indifferent throughout.

However, Lu Shen didn't take it seriously. After all, this "sister-in-law" had been treating him coldly for quite some time.

He knew that this so-called 'sister-in-law' would be kicked out sooner or later.

Before leaving, Lu Shen finally revealed his true purpose.

He walked over to Lu Jinghuai and coughed lightly: "Brother, Nanxing will be attending a jewelry design appreciation conference tomorrow, and she hopes you can attend as well."

After Lu Shen finished speaking, he took out an invitation from his pocket and stuffed it into Lu Jinghuai's hand.

"I've delivered the items. Whether you go or not, you can tell Miss Ye yourself later."

After saying this, Lu Shen left without looking back, as if afraid that Lu Jinghuai would change his mind.

Shen Wenran then understood the purpose of Lu Shen's appearance at this time.

It turns out that everything was done to advance the relationship between the male and female leads.

She walked up to Lu Jinghuai, her face contorted with grief, and said, "Honey, you're going to Ye Nanxing's jewelry appraisal event tomorrow, right?"

"Honey, please don't go."

—Quickly tell me that you forbid me from saying bad things about Ye Nanxing, and tell me not to use such filthy thoughts to tarnish your goddess!

Lu Jinghuai looked at the woman.

If that hadn't happened back then, he really would have thought that way.

But now...

Does this woman think he's blind?

—Hurry up, tell me! Forget about that night, anyway, you're blind in the book.

Lu Jinghuai: I'm very angry.

Just as Lu Jinghuai was saying he didn't want to go, the voice of a servant came from the doorway.

"Madam is back."

Bai Xiangyi responded lightly and took off the coat she was wearing.

The maid skillfully took it and handed her a glass of lemonade.

After drinking the lemonade, Bai Xiangyi said, "Jinghuai, you're here. I was just about to come find you."

"What does Mom want with me?"

Bai Xiangyi glanced at Shen Wenran and said calmly, "Miss Ye has a jewelry appreciation event tomorrow and invited me to go with her. I thought you had only recently woken up and had been busy managing the company, so you didn't have time to go out. Therefore, I planned to bring you along."

After she finished speaking, her gaze fell on the invitation in Lu Jinghuai's hand.

"Look how confused I am. You and Miss Ye grew up together. If she gave me an invitation, how could she not give you one? Perfect timing, let's go together tomorrow, it's settled then."

Lu Jinghuai: "..."

Shen Wenran was already overjoyed.

— Hahaha, no wonder they're the official couple, it's all preordained.

—Hey kid, even if you refuse your mother, the author will definitely arrange other unexpected events to force you to go.

She was gloating when she felt two unfriendly gazes directed at her.

So she quickly said, "I have a very important audition tomorrow, so I won't go. How about this, Mom, you and Jinghuai can go."

Bai Xiangyi said meaningfully, "Since Wen Ran isn't going, then it's just the two of us. Besides, even if she went, it would be a waste of her time."

—Tch, if you don't want me to go, just say so. Saying that I'd waste my time if I went is just a veiled way of implying that I don't understand art.

—You guys don't understand art. You're just two-dimensional characters brainwashed by the author. In reality, you're both childish and low-class!

—For example, the pink diamond crown that appears tomorrow is full of idiotic aura.

—What are you glaring at me for, you scoundrel? If you don't like me, just get a divorce already.

Shen Wenran was furious at the gazes directed at him by the mother and son, but he still had to put on a fawning smile.

"Mom is right."

After saying that, she immediately took out her phone and put it to her ear, pretending to answer a call.

"Oh, now? Okay, okay, I'll pack up and head out now. See you later."

She pretended to hang up the phone, then held the phone tightly in her hand and said to Bai Xiangyi and Lu Jinghuai, "Husband, Mom..."

"Go."

Bai Xiangyi waved her hand; she didn't want to see this daughter-in-law for even a moment longer.
