Chapter 162 Denial



Jian Ruoxi originally thought that Lu Shen's office layout should be the best in the entire Lu Group.

The office occupies an entire floor, so why is everything piled up in one place?

Could this be a new type of home decoration design?

Jian Ruoxi was confused.

It was Lu Shen who spoke first, which brought Jian Ruoxi back to her senses.

"Did you need something?"

Just as they were about to begin their conversation, Ah Jie wisely withdrew.

Just before closing the door, she overheard her young master's question.

He couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle. "Isn't the young master asking a question he already knows the answer to? He's probably thinking that it would be best if the young mistress had something to do every day."

"That way he can see the young mistress every day."

Jian Ruoxi looked around and found that only the sofa next to Lu Shen was available for people to sit on.

The distance between them seems a bit too close.

Fine, I'll hold back for a bit. I'll ask all the questions I need to ask, and then I'll leave immediately.

Thinking of this, Jian Ruoxi sat on the sofa with a somewhat tragic air, as if a hero were lamenting his fate.

Seeing Jian Ruoxi like this, Lu Shen felt a sense of helplessness that he couldn't quite put into words.

Is it necessary to be so nervous when we're in the same space?

"I wanted to ask you, were you involved in removing those messages from the internet so quickly last night?"

Lu Shen knew that with her intelligence, no matter how perfectly he did it, she would still be able to find out the clues.

"Why do you think I did this?" Lu Shen looked at her with great interest, eagerly awaiting her answer.

"I think that no one else but you could handle things so cleanly and quickly."

Hearing Jian Ruoxi say this, Lu Shen was overjoyed.

Is Jian Ruoxi acknowledging his abilities and praising him?

While he was happy, Lu Shen did not intend to admit it.

"You're mistaken. I don't know anything about what happened last night, so what could I possibly do?"

He knew Jian Ruoxi's temper well; if he admitted it now, she would definitely think that he owed her a favor.

No matter what method she uses, she will definitely repay the debt in order to sever all ties with them.

But he would rather Ruoxi keep owing him.

"It really wasn't you?" Jian Ruoxi had already made up her mind.

If Lu Shen really helped with what happened yesterday, she would bear all the manpower and resources spent on it herself.

She's saved up some money from doing variety shows and filming recently, enough to cover her nightly fee.

Lu Shen claimed he was unaware of the situation, which puzzled Jian Ruoxi.

"If it wasn't him, then who would have helped me?"

Ali was asking Lu Jianming a similar question.

"Boss, did you send your men to delete the negative information about Miss Jian?"

The eldest brother seems to have special and complicated feelings for Miss Jian.

He had given orders long ago that no one was allowed to cause trouble for Jian Ruoxi.

But the eldest brother seemed to be especially looking forward to the day when the news of Miss Jian's pregnancy would break.

That's why Ali wasn't sure if the boss had intervened in what happened yesterday.

"It wasn't me who sent people to help, it was Lu Shen."

He had just received the message from his subordinates, and to his surprise, Lu Shen's protectiveness towards Jian Ruoxi was beyond his expectations.

He watched the video last night. It's neither solid evidence nor concrete proof. It will naturally dissipate after a few days of public discussion.

But Lu Shen couldn't wait any longer.

"Keep an eye on Jian Ruoxi's side. Report back as soon as anything happens, and don't miss any details."

Because he found that things seemed to be getting more and more interesting.

Whether it's Lu Shen or Jian Ruoxi, it seems they've taken completely different paths from the previous generation.

If faced with the same choice, would they repeat the same mistake?

"Yes, Ali understands."

At this moment, Jian Ruoxi, sitting in her office, stared blankly at Lu Shen's expression, trying to discern something, but ultimately failed.

I almost forgot that even experienced CEOs in the business world might not be able to see through Lu Shen's thoughts.

Let alone her?

"Since it's not Young Master Lu, then everything is much easier."

In this way, she no longer had to worry about how to repay him, and instead felt completely at ease.

"I have nothing to ask, please continue with your work."

Jian Ruoxi's tone was extremely distant, even colder than when she was talking to a stranger.

There was nothing she could do; the thought that the man opposite her might be after the child in her womb made it impossible for her to control her temper.

"I'll have Ah Jie take you."

Seeing that she was leaving so soon, Lu Shen felt a little reluctant.

"No need, I can take a taxi home anyway." Jian Ruoxi declined Lu Shen's offer.

Hearing that she had come by taxi, Lu Shen frowned slightly.

"Didn't I give you a lot of money back then? Why didn't you buy yourself a car?"

Ever since Lu Shen gave her the card, Jian Ruoxi has kept it in the deepest part of a drawer at home.

As for how much money was inside, she didn't even care to see it.

The thought that this was all she got in return for her three-year marriage made her heartbroken.

"I don't like cars. Does Mr. Lu have any other questions? If not, I'll be heading back now."

"There's still a lot of work waiting for me."

She couldn't bring herself to stay there calmly for even a moment longer.

Lu Shen sighed helplessly. Ruoxi wouldn't have been so aggressive just now. He really didn't know what he had said wrong again.

"Ah Jie!"

Lu Shen called out to the door, and A-Jie immediately pushed the door open and entered.

He stood guard at the door to prevent anyone from disturbing the young master and young mistress's reunion.

The young master called him in so quickly; isn't this reunion a little too short?

"Take her home."

If Ruoxi's resistance hadn't been so obvious, he would have wanted to personally escort her back.

Jian Ruoxi could easily reject Lu Shen, but she couldn't bring herself to say a harsh word to A Jie's playful demeanor.

"Thank you for your trouble, A-Jie."

A-Jie led Jian Ruoxi out of the Lu Group. Although they tried their best to avoid the finance department, they still couldn't help but hear people around them talking about it.

"Have you heard? The finance department has been quite the spectacle lately."

"The future young mistress was parachuted in as the finance director, and the employees below her were very resentful of her and were eager to go against her."

If you were to ask what spreads the fastest within the Lu Group, it would definitely be gossip.

Especially gossip about senior management.

"Li Anran joined the Lu Group?" Jian Ruoxi asked casually.

Ah Jie felt like dying right now. If he didn't have to take the young mistress home, he would definitely teach them a lesson.

Don't these people have their own jobs? Now that the young mistress has misunderstood, how is he going to explain this?

“Yes, she begged to come in a while ago, but our young master didn’t agree at first.” Ah Jie deliberately emphasized the word “begged” when he answered.
