"Okay, I'll sign!"
So what if she rented a bigger house? What does she have to be afraid of?
Just like Lu Shen said, for 10,000 a month, she gets so much reliable service, so she's not losing out.
Jian Ruoxi angrily picked up the pen and signed her name with great force, almost as if she were signing a death warrant.
Lu Shen glanced at her as she signed the contract, a wicked smile creeping across his lips.
Ruoxi, you can't escape now.
"alright."
The contract was made in duplicate, and Jian Ruoxi handed Lu Shen his copy.
Lu Shen carefully folded the rental contract and put it into the inside pocket of his suit jacket, close to his chest.
Its presence proves that Ruoxi is by my side.
This is proof of his hard work, so naturally he should keep it safe.
Jian Ruoxi stared wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief.
She felt a wave of disdain for Lu Shen in her heart, thinking, "I won't pay less rent, so there's no need for him to constantly remind himself of the contract."
Did she end up with a troublesome and stingy landlord?
"The contract is all signed, how do you plan to pay the rent?"
Cash? Bank transfer or credit card?
Once the rent is paid, Ruoxi's stay here is a done deal.
"Transfer." She practically forced out those two words through gritted teeth.
In front of him, she transferred 40,000 yuan to Lu Shen in one go, her heart bleeding.
"I received the money. I hope you have a pleasant stay here."
Jian Ruoxi suddenly remembered that there were still two people staying at the Lu family's house who hadn't returned.
When will Lu Jin and Ali be back?
She was used to the three of them living together, so she was a little unaccustomed to being separated all of a sudden.
"You mean them? They're still living at the Lu family's house. They have no worries about food or drink, so you don't need to worry about them."
Let them come back? They're already in the way.
Let's just stay at the Lu family's place.
Lu Shen is already considering finding a new place for Lu Jin and the others to stay outside.
"No, I mean, I still hope they can live with me."
“Is that so? That works too.” Lu Shen suddenly smiled slyly.
"Your rent is 10,000 a month, and so are theirs."
Fearing that Jian Ruoxi wouldn't be able to react, he deliberately counted on his fingers for her.
"In that case, you'll need to pay me another 80,000."
He was well aware of the assets Ruoxi possessed.
Eighty thousand is certainly an amount I can come up with.
But if this continues for a long time, I'm afraid she won't be able to handle it.
"Lu Shen, you need to give money to your sister too."
If Lu Jin knew this, he would probably curse her endlessly in his heart.
"Even between siblings, accounts should be kept clear. So, are you still planning to let them come back?"
He was confident that Ruoxi wouldn't agree.
"Let's not use it for now."
Jian Ruoxi silently apologized to Lu Jin and Ali in her heart.
It wasn't that she was unwilling to generously pay the rent; it was just that the money had a more important purpose.
Having children, raising children, buying a house, and getting married will all require money in the future.
She, as a mother, has already started preparing.
Lu Shen knew this would be the outcome. "Very good, then everything is fine."
With his hands in his pockets, he strolled leisurely towards the rest area.
"Wait, what are you going up there for?" Jian Ruoxi suddenly called out to Lu Shen.
Could it be that he'll be living here from now on?
“Of course, it’s time to rest.” Lu Shen looked at Jian Ruoxi, who looked flustered, with amusement.
"But you've already rented this house to me, haven't you?"
Lu Shen is going to stay here too? How can that be allowed?
It would be so awkward if we saw each other all the time.
I've never heard of a couple who divorced and then lived together again.
Lu Shen raised an eyebrow. "This is my villa. I can stay here whenever I want."
"What, Miss Jian, do you have a problem with this?"
She had a lot of opinions.
She didn't care where Lu Shen lived, but she knew clearly that no matter what, the two of them couldn't stay in the same space.
"I……"
Before Jian Ruoxi could finish speaking, Lu Shen waved to her and turned to continue upstairs.
"I'll keep my opinions to myself. After a long day of work, I'm really tired."
Ignoring Ruoxi's outburst behind him, Lu Shen simply closed the door and chuckled to himself at the entrance.
Without even looking, you can tell that Ruoxi has gone completely mad by now.
"Lu Shen!"
Could he have done all this on purpose, luring me into his trap step by step?
But I stupidly followed along.
Now that the money has been paid and the contract signed, if she leaves now, she'll be a complete fool.
The head maid cautiously approached Jian Ruoxi. "Miss Jian, are you alright?"
Strange, didn't the young master tell them to take good care of Miss Jian?
Why did the young master make Miss Jian so angry?
What did they just say?
Jian Ruoxi took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down.
"When you're serving here, have you ever had a fleeting urge to strangle Lu Shen?"
Upon hearing this, the head maid turned pale, her hands waving frantically in front of her chest, and she staggered backward.
"We wouldn't dare think that way, Miss Jian, please stop talking."
The head maid even made a shushing gesture to Jian Ruoxi, afraid that Lu Shen upstairs would hear.
"Young Master can be a bit strict at times, but he's quite kind to the servants."
She felt that the young mistress might have misunderstood the young master somewhere.
“Once, a maid’s family member fell ill, and not only was the surgery incredibly expensive, but there was also no suitable kidney donor available.”
"After the young master found out, he didn't tell anyone. He paid the surgery fee directly and even ordered people to find a kidney donor."
He actually cares about other people?
I thought that Lu Shen's world used to revolve only around Li Anran.
Seeing that Jian Ruoxi had taken it to heart and her expression had softened, the head maid continued speaking.
"Later, when the maid found out, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the young master several times, saying that she would definitely repay the young master's money."
Jian Ruoxi fell into deep thought. Although she was working as a maid in the Lu family, her salary was already much higher than outside.
However, repaying the surgery fees is extremely difficult.
"What did Lu Shen say?"
She was quite curious about how Lu Shen would handle being repaid for a debt of gratitude.
"The young master said that the expenses would be deducted from the maid's salary slowly until the debt was paid off."
"Actually, we all know that even if the maid works her whole life, she still can't pay it back. The young master did this just to put her mind at ease."
"Miss Jian, actually the young master is a very nice person."
No one knew Lu Shen's good qualities better than she did.
If he were truly cold-hearted, he wouldn't have sent her flowers and offered words of comfort when he saw her crying so bitterly.
However, in the past few years, too many things have happened between the two of them.
She wished time could stand still at the moment she accepted the flowers, so that she could always remember her most beautiful memories of Lu Shen.
"I believe that the young master did not mean to upset you. Perhaps the young master also has his own troubles."
"He just won't say it."
