Seeing Tang Li, Chu Jingyi didn't seem surprised, she just looked him up and down.

"You're Jian Shen's girlfriend?" Chu Jingyi smiled and handed over the paper bag she was carrying. "These are freshly baked cookies."

"Thank you. Would you like to come in and sit down? He went to the company and isn't home."

I thought Chu Jingyi wouldn't come in, since Lu Jianshen wasn't there, but she did.

"Don't worry about it. The cookies are for you. He never eats anything I bake. I didn't come here for him. I just wanted to see you. I was a little curious."

Chu Jingyi smiled at Tang Li, appearing poised and generous, seemingly unconcerned about Lu Jianshen being with her.

Tang Li sat down opposite Chu Jingyi and poured her tea. "Miss Chu, are you curious about me?"

Chu Jingyi nodded, looked at Tang Li, and smiled again.

"It seems he got what he wanted."

This statement was so vague that Tang Li couldn't understand it.

Chu Jingyi had seen the portrait Lu Jianshen had drawn, and the person in the portrait was clearly the person in front of her. Wasn't this exactly what she had wanted?

"Since he hasn't told you explicitly, I won't say anything more. Miss Tang, you are indeed very beautiful." Chu Jingyi praised her without any reservation.

Tang Li was stunned. She had originally thought that when Chu Jingyi came to see her, she would probably glare at her coldly or hurl insults at her.

The result was that he calmly praised her beauty; the demeanor of Beijing's top socialite was truly extraordinary.

Chu Jingyi stayed for a while, then said she had a yoga class and left.

Before leaving, she said, "I heard you play the piano quite well. Can you teach me? I can pay you three thousand for one lesson."

"good."

Tang Li didn't hesitate; she was short of money.

“Miss Chu, my schedule is not flexible; I’m afraid I’ll only be available on weekends.”

Chu Jingyi replied, "My time is flexible; I can schedule it according to your schedule."

————

"Chu Jingyi asked you to give her piano lessons?" Lu Jianshen frowned.

Tang Li nodded and replied, "Yes, I agree."

She desperately needs to make money right now.

Lu Jianshen was surprised, and he also understood what the woman was planning.

However, Tang Li is now his woman, and he can't bear to let her go for even a moment.

“How about this, I’ll pay you double the tuition she paid you, and you teach me.” Lu Jianshen looked up at Tang Li.

Tang Li was taken aback. She had studied piano for ten years and was at a high level, but she was still no match for the piano prodigy Lu Jianshen.

"Are you kidding me? Aren't you even more powerful?"

Lu Jianshen also discovered the problem: his piano skills were indeed unmatched, and Chu Jingyi had made up an excuse to have him teach.

He resolutely refused, but now that woman is still persistent and has come looking for Tang Li again. She's really like a persistent ghost!

"You're starting work tomorrow."

Tang Li: "Miss Chu asked me to attend classes this weekend."

Lu Jianshen was exasperated. Did she really have to go see that annoying woman? Couldn't she spend more time with him? He could pay her ten times her salary!

Lu Jianshen patiently advised, "Lili, you should broaden your horizons and make big money, instead of pursuing this hourly wage, which has no future."

"A long-term vision?"

"Hmm." Lu Jianshen nodded seriously. "If you manage to trick me, half of my wealth, no, all of my wealth, will be yours."

"Hehe." Tang Li took it as a joke and gave an awkward laugh. "It's not funny at all."

She's really risking her life to swindle money from Lu Jianshen.

However, teaching piano does require careful consideration. She needs a long-term plan, otherwise, she can't possibly earn back a debt of 1 billion yuan through these scattered part-time jobs.

If she wants to pay off her debts in this lifetime, she can only seek fortune through risk.

That evening, Tang Li ran into Ding Weiwei when she went out to buy groceries. To be precise, Ding Weiwei had planned this all along and was waiting for her.

"Tang Li, why are you still staying in Beijing? You're divorced now, you should know better and get out of here!"

Ding Weiwei launched into a tirade of insults. She was in a difficult situation in the Lu family; if it weren't for the child in her womb, she would have been kicked out long ago.

Tang Li saw through it too, and sneered, "Seeing how angry and embarrassed you are, does that mean Lu Chengyi doesn't want you anymore?"

If her life were going well, she wouldn't look like this, with eyes bulging with fury.

Ding Weiwei stubbornly refused to admit it, "What are you being so arrogant about? Cheng Yi and I are doing great!"

Tang Li did not refute it.

"In that case, I wish you happiness. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Just as she was about to leave, Ding Weiwei grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

"Wait a minute, I'm pregnant!"

She thought this news would cause Tang Li great harm, but to her surprise, the other party just glanced at her coldly and nodded in agreement.

"I know."

Ding Weiwei stood there stubbornly, "Tang Li, I will definitely live a good life in the Lu family, at least happier than you!"

She will definitely live a good life, and no one should let her down, including God!

Tang Li left gracefully, it had nothing to do with her, she didn't care who it was!

Tang Li strolled around the supermarket, selecting meat and vegetables, as well as milk and bread. Inside the supermarket, you could push a shopping cart, but once you left, you had to carry it yourself, as it was a bit heavy.

While waiting for the cashier to process the payment, Tang Li was also wondering how to take the money home later.

Carrying those two large shopping bags was a bit of a struggle.

"Swipe my card."

Lu Jianshen appeared behind her without her noticing, wearing a long black trench coat, and took out a payment QR code.

The sales clerk scanned his QR code and stared at him adoringly for a long time until the next customer came.

"Why are you here?" Tang Li asked, somewhat surprised.

She thought Lu Jianshen wouldn't come to the supermarket to shop; even Lu Chengyi wouldn't go when Tang Li was dating.

When she left, Lu Jianshen was in his study having a video conference, completely absorbed.

Lu Jianshen said, "Next time you go grocery shopping, remember to call me beforehand. How are you going to carry all this stuff?"

Originally, Chen Lei was responsible for supplying the food in the refrigerator. However, in the past few days, Chen Lei had been visiting less often for fear of disturbing his boss's time with his wife, so he hadn't noticed that the refrigerator was empty.

Lu Jianshen thought that Chen Lei wouldn't need to prepare groceries anymore, and he could accompany Tang Li to the supermarket.

He carried over two large shopping bags with ease, while Tang Li walked beside him, her hands empty.

"How about you give me a bag?" Tang Li felt a little bad.

Lu Jianshen replied calmly, "How can you let a girl carry heavy things?"

Tang Li vaguely heard a woman next to her complaining to her husband, "Look at other people's husbands, they can lift such heavy things so easily, what use are you to me!"

The man was engrossed in playing games on his phone, seemingly oblivious to everything else, but he was quite talkative.

"My wife is amazing, everyone envies me. Look at you, carrying two shopping bags so easily, but my wife is even more amazing..."
