110 110 Imitation Repay
◎Explicitly stated. ◎
——What are you busy with? When you are done and come back, she will have become someone else's sister-in-law.
——How can you sleep so soundly? I can’t understand it.
——You said you would come to help me, but ended up dating Zhou Gong. I am very disappointed in you.
Lu Siyue looked at the first three messages and clenched her teeth on the spot. At that time, she was already on the way under urgency, but Lu Siyue's messages kept chasing her like a deadly combo knife.
It was not until the latest piece of news that he revealed his quite satisfied mood.
——Well done.
He had complained a lot about her before and wanted to diss her from every angle, but after she squeezed Yuen Long out, Lu Sinian was finally satisfied. However, he only said these four words to her and was quite stingy with praise.
She typed back: "Brother, look at these messages, you don't look like Mr. Lu at all, you're just a complaining husband. And when I didn't do well, you kept complaining, but when I did well, you only said four words. Will typing out these compliments rot your fingers? ! !
She vented her dissatisfaction and saw the dialog box display "the other party is typing", but after typing for a long time, not a single word came back, which obviously stumped him.
Lu Sinian: I’m not very good at praising people.
Finally, after a few minutes, the reply came over reluctantly, which obviously made him very embarrassed.
Lu Siyue didn't believe it and sprayed back again: I don't believe it, if you can't even praise people, then pack up and go back as soon as possible. You are chasing your wife now, if you can't praise people, can she be coaxed back by you? You are kidding!
Lu Sinian looked at the words of his sister's accusation on the screen and could not help but let out a long sigh. He fell into deep thought again, and after struggling for a moment, he finally told the truth.
——The words that praise her are not suitable for praising you.
Lu Siyue was originally waiting for his excuse with a huff, to see what weird reason he could come up with, but when this reply came, her anger instantly disappeared, and she immediately thought of something she shouldn't have thought about, which was an ambiguous, hot and erotic relationship between adults.
She immediately stopped her dangerous thoughts, coughed lightly, and dared not look at her phone again.
Well, what my brother said to praise my sister-in-law does not apply to her.
Although she didn't know how the two of them praised each other in private, she believed that they didn't do it for outsiders to hear.
"What's wrong? Is it too hot?" Ren Lu noticed her discomfort and asked with concern.
Lu Siyue shook her head, picked up the cup of cold drink as if concealing something, and started sucking.
"Excuse me, can I have an extra chair here? It's hard to find a seat in the back."
While Lu Siyue was in a daze, Yuanlang came back again. This time he brought a small chair that didn't take up much space. Unlike the original rattan chair, it was very delicate and could fit under the same umbrella if they squeezed in.
"No, the guests behind us will have objections." Lu Siyue refused without even thinking about it, muttering to herself in her heart, this guy is really haunting me.
“Um——” Yuen Long uttered a single syllable awkwardly, seemed a little hesitant, and walked back dragging the chair in his hand.
Ren Lu sighed: "Forget it, come over here and squeeze in here."
She pointed to the empty space beside her. This time, Yuanlang did not hold back and simply dragged his chair back, his pace obviously quickening as he feared that something might happen again.
But before he could walk over, Lu Siyue stopped him.
"Wait, wait, you should sit next to me. My sister is single now, in her prime. If you get so close to her, it's easy for a scandal to occur." This was completely an instinctive reaction. Her body took action before she even thought.
Damn, the space was not that big. After putting down a chair, it was almost touching the rattan chair. Although the rattan chair had a more spacious space, if one put their arms on the back of the chair, it would be easy for two people to have physical contact.
When the sun sets and the sky is filled with rosy clouds, the two of them look up to admire the beautiful view while their arms quietly touch each other. This ignites the spark of love, and not only her brother, but even she can't resist it.
"Ah, isn't that bad?" Yuan Lang was a little reluctant.
Lu Siyue, on the other hand, was very domineering. She grabbed the chair from his hand and pulled it over, placing it next to her rattan chair, in just the right position.
"If I say yes, then it's okay." Her tone was rather cold and hard, giving off an aura that could not be refused.
Yuan Lang didn't know what to say, but Ren Lusheng had some free time to tease her: "Oh, what do you mean? He doesn't sit with me because he's afraid of rumors. Then there won't be any rumors if he sits with you?"
"Of course not. I'm just an adult. Who dares to write nonsense? Besides, netizens all over the country know that I like yellow-haired men. People like him who wear suits in the middle of summer and act pretentiously are not my type." Lu Siyue said firmly, which sounded quite reasonable at first glance.
Ren Lu was amused by her chuckle, and when she met Yuan Lang's helpful gaze, she waved her hand.
"Since it's Miss Lu's order, then you can just sit there. It's true that no one has written any gossip about you two."
When Lu Siyue heard her say that, a smug expression immediately appeared on her face. She said to Yuan Lang who was stunned at the side: "Why are you still standing? Sit down and don't block the sight of the customers behind you. It's rude to cut in line, and blocking people's sight is an even greater crime."
Yuan Lang sat down speechlessly, but couldn't help rolling his eyes in his heart. Who was rude and who cut in line? He was obviously here first, and Lu Siyue was the one who cut in line, and he was so confident. Now he was throwing this dirty water on his head.
Yuan Lang, sitting on the small chair, suddenly looked somewhat pitiful. While everyone else was sitting on large and comfortable rattan chairs, he huddled there, and his originally tall figure seemed much thinner.
Especially with Lu Siyue blocking the way, he couldn't even see Ren Lu's figure. If he wanted to talk to her, he would have to climb mountains and cross rivers as he was completely blocked.
When Lu Siyue noticed this, she became very happy and even hummed a little tune leisurely.
She took out her cell phone again, and this time Lu Sinian's message seemed particularly sincere.
——What on earth does this pretty boy want to do? Why is he haunting me? He is so shameless!
Of course, at the beginning, Lu Sinian was still very dissatisfied with Yuan Lang's unwillingness to give up and coming back, and even started to curse.
However, when he saw Lu Siyue successfully resolve the crisis, he obviously became much softer and even improved his skills in praising people.
--sharp!
——Great!
——Lu Siyue, you are the best sister in the world!
Three exclamation marks in a row showed how excited he was when he typed these words. Even though the words of praise were still very scarce and even lacked any novelty, this was already very sincere to Lu Sinian, and made Lu Siyue feel extremely satisfied.
——Brother, you have made progress. After being asked to do so, you will work hard to change. I am optimistic about you.
——You should do the same to Ren Lu. I believe in you. Try to turn her from my sister back into my sister-in-law as soon as possible. Come on!
After the brother and sister praised each other, she was finally satisfied.
"Yueyue, you just said, 'Wearing a suit in the middle of summer is pretentious', why does this sentence sound familiar?" Ren Lu saw the little girl concentrating on typing, not knowing who she was chatting with, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and interrupted her concentration.
Lu Siyue raised her head. The feeling of being praised just now had not yet dissipated, and the corners of her mouth still maintained an upward arc. When she heard her question, she was still a little confused, and then she reacted.
"Of course it sounds familiar. Isn't my brother the same? He always likes to wear a suit in the hot summer." She didn't hide anything and directly pointed out Lu Sinian.
Ren Lu's expression didn't change much, but Yuan Lang, who was listening, had a slightly changed look, but soon returned to normal.
"Look, the sunset is coming out, so beautiful!" someone exclaimed.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes were cast towards the horizon. The originally azure sky had been dyed red. Clouds of varying weights seemed to be scattered by dye, gradually changing from orange to scarlet red, not only dyeing the sky red, but also changing the color of the sea surface.
Clouds of fire were burning, and the waves, rolling with bright colors, rushed towards the shore, dyeing everyone's vision red and making the emotions hot.
"It's so beautiful." Ren Lu couldn't help but sigh.
Lu Siyue turned to look at her. The woman's fair skin looked rosy, and her expression was pious and joyful, as if she was moved by the natural scenery.
Although it is just a silent landscape, when it is picturesque, it can make people intoxicated and their hearts surge. This time is really suitable to stay with the one you love.
Lu Siyue didn't bother to look at the scenery and just lowered her head to send a text message to Lu Sinian.
After a moment, Ren Lu noticed someone passing by. Before she looked up, the first thing that caught her eye was a pair of custom-made leather shoes.
The first thought that came to her mind was: Wearing high-end leather shoes on the beach is simply crazy, and she is not afraid of getting water in her shoes.
But when she raised her head and saw the neat suits and finally the familiar and handsome face, her nerves suddenly tensed up, and then slowly relaxed.
The man unbuttoned his jacket and slowly sat down with his back straight and a pair of sunglasses on his nose. His cool and elite look was totally out of place with the other guests who were dressed casually for vacation.
He seemed to be here to see a fashion show, looking very fashionable.
Yuan Lang, who was originally still thinking about how to bypass Lu Siyue and Ren Lu's conversation, suddenly became nervous when he looked up and saw Lu Sinian. His hair stood on end, as if a fake met the real thing, and he felt inexplicably guilty and at a loss.
But he tried hard to suppress the panic in his heart and put on a poker face.
"Why are you here? Where is Si Yue?" Ren Lu frowned slightly and asked immediately.
"She said she hopes you watch the sunset with the handsome guy, so she switched seats with me." Lu Sinian made up a lie. It was obvious that this lie he made up was completely shameless and was a way to flatter himself.
"Handsome guy? Where is he?" Ren Lu looked around, as if she was trying hard to find him.
Lu Sinian coughed, took off the sunglasses on his nose, revealing his well-defined face, and said, "Here."
Although he tried to calm his tone, it was obvious that he didn't say this kind of thing often, and his tone was dry and a little strange.
Ren Lu was at a loss for words and sneered, "Come on, Mr. Lu, I've been looking at your face for years and I'm tired of it. I don't think you're that handsome anymore. Why don't you just trade it back with her?"
As she spoke, she turned around and looked back, searching for Lu Siyue in the crowd, and soon found her target.
When the little girl met her gaze, she immediately clasped her hands together, made a "please, please" gesture, and pouted her lips, obviously acting coquettishly.
"No, the sun has set." He refused directly and changed the subject. He raised his hand to his lips and made a "hush" gesture, reminding her to look at the sunset.
Neither of them spoke anymore and turned their eyes to the seashore. The scenery was even more beautiful at this moment. The entire sea was dyed red, which was beautiful, strange and dazzling.
Ren Lu was immersed in the beautiful scenery, but the man quietly turned his head and stared at her profile.
His eyes quietly traced her cheek. It was a very familiar face. He could see it every time he woke up, and he could even exchange a morning kiss with her.
But now, because of the divorce agreement, when he wakes up and opens his eyes, there is no one around him. If he wants to see this face again, he can either go on social platforms or find a way himself.
Just like at this moment, he was only able to sit next to her and squeeze out those pretty boys because of his sister's help. It was really a pity.
Before, he had never thought that there would be such a day, because whenever he turned around, Ren Lu would always be standing in his sight, smiling at him. He never thought it would turn out like this.
But now it takes a lot of effort to meet her.
He reached out and knocked on the table, his brows furrowed.
"Mr. Lu, look at the sunset. There is no good scenery on my face."
It was difficult for Ren Lu to ignore the man's burning gaze. She didn't want to remind him and just get away with it, but his gaze was too focused, as if he was staring through her face. She had no choice but to speak.
"You are more beautiful than the sunset..." He started to say subconsciously, but halfway through he realized that this was a bit corny, so he took it back: "I want to see you more."
Ren Lu ignored him and continued to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
The process of waiting for the sun to go down is very long, especially now that the weather is so hot and it's like a steamer outside. No one has much patience, and even with umbrellas, their faces will be sunburned.
But when it was really about to set, it did so very quickly. A little corner of the round sun was swallowed up, then half of it was submerged by the sea, until it finally set completely.
The red glow in the sky disappeared, the brilliant rays of light also disappeared, leaving only darkness, even the original blue color was gone.
The glass lamp on the table was lit, illuminating the dark seaside. The neon lights of the hotel behind him also lit up, colorful, presenting another beautiful scene.
"Let's go, the scenery just now was so beautiful!"
"I'm hungry, so I'm going to have a meal. The scenery is also a feast for the eyes. I'll have to eat two more bowls of rice."
"The reserved seat has just arrived. Hurry and leave, or it will be cancelled."
"I want to have a feast!"
The guests who had watched the sunset together got up and left in groups of three or five. Almost everyone had a smile on their face. It was obvious that the sunset was so beautiful that it made them feel very happy.
Ren Lu stood up to leave, but Lu Sinian grabbed her wrist.
"Would you like to have dinner together?" he invited softly.
Ren Lu looked down at him. The man's eyes seemed somewhat deep under the reflection of the light. He was extremely focused and serious when looking at her, as if he had hidden all his passionate emotions. He invited her carefully for fear of scaring her. However, some emotions were too strong and could not be concealed. They were faintly revealed, which made people frightened.
Ren Lu paused for a moment, feeling as if she was being stared at by a ferocious beast. Even though the man had restrained his breath, she was too familiar with him and could still sense that his level of danger was increasing.
"No, I already have an appointment." She tried to break free, but the man's grip was so tight that she couldn't get rid of it.
"Lu Sinian, there are so many people watching, you don't want me to be disrespectful and embarrass you, do you?" She called him by his full name, with a warning tone in her voice.
The man sighed softly, and finally let go of her hand and watched her leave.
Lu Siyue stood not far away and stared at them, not daring to go forward until she saw Ren Lu break away from him and leave alone. Then she walked up to her and directly took Ren Lu's arm, obviously wanting to have dinner with her.
Everyone under the parasols left, leaving Lu Sinian sitting there motionless. He looked at the waves hitting the shore, slightly lost in thought.
The sea breeze gently caressed his face, bringing some anxiety, and the man's brows furrowed even more tightly.
The waiter came over to clean the garbage on the table, and the subtle sound woke him up. He stood up and prepared to leave, but when he looked down, he saw two unfinished drinks on the table. The cup farther away from him had a lipstick mark on the rim. It was obviously Ren Lu's.
For some unknown reason, he suddenly felt very thirsty, to the point where he couldn't control his thirst, as if he was a traveler on a long journey in the desert who hadn't had a drop of water for several days and would die of thirst in the next second.
At this moment, there was a half glass of water in front of him. He picked it up instinctively, turned the rim of the cup so that his lips were reflected on the lipstick mark, and drank it in big gulps. It was soon empty. He even licked the rim of the cup to cherish every drop of water.
Only after he finished the glass of water did he leave with satisfaction, as if his wish had been fulfilled.
The whole person seemed to be nourished by a sweet rain from heaven. He did not feel thirsty at all, but rather felt very hydrated.
"Sister, what are we having for dinner tonight?"
Lu Siyue took Ren Lu's arm and immediately asked enthusiastically.
Ren Lu turned her head and glanced at her with a somewhat angry expression on her face.
"Now you're willing to come back? Why don't you continue to exchange with him?"
"Oh, I just feel sorry for him. It's not easy to watch the sunset with sunglasses on. If you're not careful, you can't see clearly. He's been sunbathing here for most of the day. If he misses the beautiful scenery, he will regret it for most of his life. He doesn't need to wear sunglasses for eating. It's enough for him to see the knife and fork so that it doesn't affect his eating." Lu Siyue has really improved a lot. He can talk nonsense without hesitation, and it sounds quite perverse at first glance.
Ren Lu rolled her eyes at her in annoyance: "Nonsense again, but you don't have the chance to change it now."
She was so sure in what she said that Lu Siyue just laughed it off and didn't dare to ask more questions. However, she refuted her in her heart that if there was a next time, she would change it again.
With the way Lu Sinian is pretending to be dead, when will he be able to get Ren Lu back?
The reason they were able to get together in the first place was purely because Ren Lu took the initiative to hook him up. Now Ren Lu yearns for freedom, so she just got the divorce agreement and left. It would be difficult to get her back with Lu Sinian's clumsy method of stalking her.
"Ms. Ren, would it be convenient for us to have dinner together?" Yuan Long took the initiative to invite.
"It's not convenient, it's not convenient. My sister wants to eat with me, and Sister Yuwei, tonight is girls' day, and you, a grown man, shouldn't come over here." Lu Siyue refused directly and sternly, with a hint of disgust in her tone, as if blaming him for not having good manners.
Ren Lu smiled softly, patted her shoulder, and said to Yuan Lang: "I really don't have time tonight because I have to welcome this young lady. But I have time tomorrow, and we can have dinner together."
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore, let's talk privately." He nodded politely, turned and left.
Lu Siyue immediately frowned and looked at her with some dissatisfaction: "Sister, do you really want to have dinner with him? He doesn't look like a good guy!"
"It's just a meal." Ren Lu didn't care at all. When she heard Lu Siyue say that, she couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Why doesn't he look like a good guy? He looks a bit like your brother. Who are you picking on?"
"Of course, also pick my brother. Do you think he is a good guy?" Lu Siyue is worthy of being a biological sister. She attacks indiscriminately.
Ren Lu was speechless for a moment, obviously not expecting her to say that.
"If you can't answer him, just assume he's not a good person. Then why did you go to dinner with him? It's a complete waste of time." Lu Siyue made the final decision.
"Who said that? I didn't say that. If your brother and I hadn't divorced, I would have told him what you just said." Ren Lu threatened her.
Lu Siyue waved her hands and said with a smile, "Who asked you to get divorced? If you contact my brother, he should be very happy and won't scold me. After all, I asked you to go to him because I had a reason to complain. I did a good thing."
She spoke confidently, with a hint of provocation in her tone.
Ren Lu shook her head helplessly, obviously unable to do anything with her: "Just be naughty. After I welcome you tonight, don't stick to me. If you want to play, I'll let Vicky find a tour guide for you."
"Ah, are you still going to have dinner with that guy in sunglasses?" Lu Siyue was heartbroken when she heard her cruel words.
"Yeah, he told me that several times."
"It doesn't matter how many times, just reject him. You just said that he looks a lot like my brother. I think he just wants to imitate Lu Sinian and be his stand-in. If you want to go out to eat with him, you might as well make an appointment with the real person. Isn't my brother more handsome than him?" Lu Siyue argued with reason and did not forget to flatter her. Anyway, it was right to throw dirty water on Yuanlang's head.
Ren Lu didn't respond to the topic. She directly pulled her and Feng Yuwei together, and the three of them walked into the restaurant to have dinner.
***
"It's exciting. Lu Sinian is chasing his wife abroad. He relies on his sister to get to the top and watches the sunset with Ren Lu."
"It's not easy for Mr. Lu to pursue his wife, and his own sister has become a tool!"
"Watching the sunset at the beach, a showdown between two gentlemen in suits!"
After waking up, Ren Lu was still in a daze. She opened her phone to check the hottest news. As a result, several explosive headlines hit her on the head and woke her up completely.
She immediately sat up and read it carefully, only to find that the process of watching the sunset last night was filmed by reporters who were lying in ambush somewhere. They went back and wrote a report. Every word used was extremely exaggerated, as if they had been practiced in melodramatic novels. It was earthy and vulgar, but very addictive.
Just from the number of views and discussions, it can be seen that there are a lot of followers, and there are also many people who are racking their brains to think of plots, vying to become popular, and contributing passionate plots of chasing after wives. Some even directly tag Lu Sinian and give him advice. Although those strategies for chasing after wives do not look well-intentioned, if Lu Sinian really adopts them, he will probably be scolded by Ren Lu and told to get out.
"Buzz buzz buzz--" the cell phone rang and a new text message came.
Lu Siyue: Sister, are you awake? I'll come to you for dinner.
Ren Lu frowned and rejected her mercilessly.
——Today is a free day, you can have fun, I won’t go out, and you don’t have to come looking for me. If you keep clinging to me, I will change hotels and you won’t be able to find me.
When Lu Siyue saw the first half, she wanted to act coquettishly and continue to stick to him like a dog-skin plaster. But when she saw the latter part, she knew she had no chance at all. If she continued to pursue him, Ren Lu might really ignore her.
She sighed and typed hard: Okay, okay, I'm obedient today, isn't that enough? Don't find me annoying!
She turned around and reported the situation to Lu Sinian: Brother, don’t count on me. I have been given an ultimatum and can’t help you.
Lu Sinian replied almost immediately, with only three words: Why?
Lu Siyue rolled his eyes. There was no reason. The other person just didn't want to bother with him. With his personality, he really couldn't win her back.
Lu Siyue: Brother, you still have the nerve to ask why? You should ask yourself, what sin did you commit before that made your sister-in-law avoid you like this?
Lu Siyue: Can you go online to learn more and learn how to pursue someone?
Lu Siyue: Don’t bother me today. This is what she meant, and now I’m giving it to you too.
She sent several messages in a row, and the other party stopped talking immediately and kept on "typing". However, after a minute, he still hadn't come up with anything useful.
Lu Siyue rolled her eyes and no longer had the patience to wait for his news.
She got up early in the morning to serve as his tool, processing text messages and delivering messages. By the time she came to her senses, she was so hungry that she was almost seeing stars.
"What a huge loss! I am really impressed by someone risking his life for someone else's love." She muttered in dissatisfaction.
When she finished her meal and checked her messages again, she found that Lu Sinian had sent her a message ten minutes ago.
Lu Sinian: I’ve found a tour guide for you, just contact her and have fun.
Lu Siyue, who was originally still complaining about the world, immediately softened her heart when she saw her brother helping her settle down.
"Oh, forget it. He is my brother after all, so I will help him if I can. Even though he often does things that make me speechless and angry, he is actually thinking about me when he gets better." She comforted herself again.
After Lu Sinian made arrangements for his younger sister, he focused all his attention on Ren Lu. She said she would not go out today, and she really kept her promise.
I originally thought she was going to have a good rest, but after she finished breakfast, she started to do something out of the ordinary.
She didn't go out, but instead called people to her door, and they lined up one by one.
The first person to be called over was Jiang Sheng. He was very nervous at first. Before entering the room, he mentally prepared himself countless times and even called Dou Qianwen to ask for her opinion.
It's really weird that a man and a woman are alone in the same room. It doesn't look like a serious communication at all.
Dou Qianwen's advice to her at the time was to go and see what Ren Lu was going to do first. If she refused based on guesswork, it would be a pity to miss out on a good opportunity.
Of course, if something not too serious happens after entering the house that requires an exchange of interests, it's fine if he can accept it. They are both adults and it's not illegal or immoral. After all, both men and women are single and anything can happen.
Dou Qianwen analyzed each point for him, and some of her words were very straightforward. Jiang Sheng was very resistant, and she directly confirmed that he would never agree if it was in exchange for physical benefits.
Facing the door in front of him, Jiang Sheng took a deep breath, cleared his mind, and made full mental preparation before knocking on the door and entering.
Ren Lu was sitting on the sofa. She was not wearing just pajamas as expected. Instead, she was dressed normally and put on makeup. She didn't look like she was going to do anything.
Jiang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. Ren Lu pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Sit down."
Jiang Sheng looked at the two positions so close, and suddenly became nervous again. He coughed lightly and said, "No need, I can just stand."
"Hmm?" Ren Lu looked up at him, her face full of curiosity.
"I, I was sitting on the chair a lot these past few days, and my waist felt uncomfortable, so it's better to stand for a while." He explained immediately, but because he was too nervous, he began to stutter while speaking.
Ren Lu could see through his nervousness at a glance and was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Why do you think I asked you to come here?" she asked.
"Ah, I don't know. You just asked me to come, so I came." He scratched his head, not knowing how to answer, and could only tell the truth.
At such times, he hated his own straightforward temper, which was not as smooth as Yuen Long. Although he always looked down on Yuen Long's sweet talk, he envied Yuen Long for not letting the situation become awkward, and always being able to get along with others in a harmonious atmosphere.
"You're so nervous, you must have some guesses in your mind. I guess you called Dou Qianwen before coming here. What did she say?"
"She told me not to think too much about it and said she would try her best to cooperate with you and thank Ms. Ren for her previous training."
"Don't call me Ms. Ren, it seems very strange. We have been together for several days, we should be familiar with each other. Why don't you call me Lulu--" Ren Lu tilted her head and corrected his address.
But when it came to the most crucial moment, she seemed to be stuck suddenly. Jiang Sheng thought that he should call her Lulu. When such an intimate name came out, he instantly became red like a ripe tomato.
"No, no, no--" He waved his hands to refuse and even took two steps back, which showed how much he resisted this title.
Ren Lu was amused by his attitude: "What are you thinking? If you call me Sister Lu like Yu Wei, it will seem a bit intimate. Just call me Sister Ren."
"Okay, Sister Ren." Jiang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief again and quickly changed his address, fearing that she would change her mind again.
"Tell me, what did Dou Qianwen say? If you're embarrassed to say it, I can just call her and ask her directly."
"No, no, I just said it. Actually, I didn't say anything. Sister Dou, thank you very much for the opportunity you provided us, as well as the traffic and attention it brought, so you asked me to cooperate more. I didn't lie." He repeated it again.
"Oh? Didn't you tell me that I called you here alone? Do I have other intentions? Like I like you and what should I do?"
When Ren Lu asked this, Jiang Sheng froze again instantly. He stood there without blinking, as if he had even held his breath.
Seeing that he was about to suffocate himself to death, Ren Lu waved her hand and let him go.
"Forget it, forget it. I won't tease you anymore. You can rest assured that I don't have that intention. I called you here this time because I wanted to make good friends with you. After all, we have been playing together for so many days. I also hope that you can get closer to your dream. I have sorted out several shows that are suitable for you, as well as the internal selection criteria. You can pick one and see."
Ren Lu chuckled, gently changed the subject, and finally got to the point.
As she spoke, she took out several folders and spread them out on the table one by one.
There were words written on the cover of each folder, obviously the name of the fashion show, but Jiang Sheng was standing a little far away. He was also a little nearsighted. Before coming here today, he deliberately did not wear cosmetic contact lenses or invisible glasses, making his eyes look like dead fish eyes, for fear that Ren Lu would take a fancy to him and take advantage of her.
Now he couldn't see the words on the cover clearly, so he subconsciously raised his foot and walked forward.
"Wait, go back to where you were." She stopped him.
Jiang Sheng did as he was told, took two steps back and returned to his original position.
Ren Lu nodded with satisfaction: "I asked you to sit down just now, but you said you like standing, so just stand there and choose one."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Sheng's face turned red with embarrassment. He knew that Ren Lu was mocking him, but he had no right to refute because he was the one who judged others by his own standards.
If he had sat down politely and been frank at the beginning, he would not have become so timid.
Ren Lu originally wanted to help him, but she wouldn't rush into it. If he refused, she would never force him.
The reason why she was so considerate was simply because she was bored and wanted to take the opportunity to provoke Lu Sinian.
Jiang Sheng stood where he was, and couldn't help but stand on tiptoe, squinting his eyes slightly, trying to adjust the focus to see the words clearly, but except for the word "show", he couldn't recognize any of the others.
"I want the third one on the left. It's my lucky number." He was silent for a moment and finally made up his mind.
Ren Lu raised her eyebrows slightly, and without any hesitation, she put away the other folders, leaving only this one.
"Unfortunately, I'm not so lucky this time. This isn't a big show," she joked half-seriously.
"It doesn't matter, no matter if it's a big show or a small one, as long as I can be on the catwalk." He shook his head indifferently, his mentality was much more stable than before.
Ren Lu pushed him, and this time he hesitated for two seconds. Without letting her speak, he walked forward and took the folder with both hands.
"Thank you Sister Ren for your promotion. I will keep it in mind and will definitely repay your kindness in the future." He bowed to Ren Lu with a very sincere tone.
Ren Lu smiled and waved her hand, not taking it seriously at all.
"No need for that. I'm not interested in any other reward except my body." Until the very end, she didn't forget to taunt him.
This sentence made Jiang Sheng blush again. He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything and could only remain silent.
"My only request to you is that what we just said during our meeting needs to be kept confidential. No matter who asks, you cannot answer unless someone is spreading rumors. Is that okay?"
"Okay." He nodded, hid the folder, and walked out quickly.
Soon, the second male model knocked on the door and walked in. He came out half an hour later with an excited expression on his face, even red, as if he had encountered a great fortune.
Then the third and fourth...
Lu Sinian's cell phone rang from time to time, and someone was reporting who had entered Ren Lu's room. He went from being angry at first to being in tears and laughter later.
If he was still wondering at the beginning what tricks Ren Lu was going to play to make him jealous and crazy, after so many people came in, he couldn't feel jealous even if he wanted to.
It was obvious that she would never do what others maliciously speculated. She was just trying to make trouble for others as a revenge for Lu Sinian's surveillance of her.
Since he likes to stare at and track her so much, let him monitor her to his heart's content. Ask handsome young men to go into her room one by one. Each of them will take quite a while, so let him guess.
It was not until dusk that Ren Lu finally let in the last male model, who was Yuan Long.
He was still wearing a suit, a classic style, and looked very familiar.
The moment Ren Lu saw him, she was a little dazed, because this suit was the one Lu Sinian had worn before. It was the same suit the man wore when she first attended a dinner party with Lu Sinian as Mrs. Lu.
And now when worn on Yuen Long, it has a unique flavor.
Ren Lu quickly looked him up and down and found that he had even copied his shoes and hairstyle, as well as his movements. If it weren't for the fact that his face was really different, she would have thought she had seen Lu Sinian himself.
"You are the last one to come, so you have no choice, but I have saved the biggest show for you. Thank you for your wonderful show these days. I have had a lot of happy time." Ren Lu took out the last folder and pushed it over.
Yuan Lang took a look at the folder name and was instantly shocked by the name of the fashion show. This was a real big show, and it was considered one of the top shows. The requirements for its designers were very strict, even to the point of being abnormal.
But Ren Lu gave it to him so easily. He looked at her in disbelief, with an ecstatic look gradually emerging on his face. Even though he knew that he was playing the role of a mature and domineering CEO today and should remain calm in the face of praise or criticism, he really couldn't control himself in the face of such a great temptation.
"I was given the spot to walk in this show?" he muttered to himself, already so surprised that he was dazed.
"You have to work hard to get a spot. I can't send a fool who can't walk on the stage. But it details the designer's preferences, which can help you get a spot with half the effort." Ren Lu explained.
As soon as these words came out, Yuanlang immediately calmed down a lot. He coughed lightly, adjusted his facial expression, and turned into the calm and composed boss again.
"Having the inside information is already a great help. Countless people have tried to figure out the preferences of that group of perverted designers over the years, but there has been no progress. Even the rumors circulating in the world are mostly false. If we really do what the rumors say, we will be putting the blame on ourselves. Where did this document come from?" He first expressed her expertise, and then began to inquire about the source of the information.
It was obvious that he was more cautious and cunning than the previous models and wanted to know whether the contents of the document were true or false.
Ren Lu chuckled and shook her head, pretending to be mysterious and said: "The secret cannot be revealed. If you don't believe it, you can find someone to test it. Anyway, it is up to you to decide how to do it."
Yuan Lang let out a long sigh, not hiding his nervousness and uneasiness at all, and he smiled awkwardly at Ren Lu.
"I'm sorry. With such a huge show in front of me, it's almost the Jerusalem of all the models. It's hard not to be moved. I couldn't control my emotions just now, please forgive me."
"It's okay. You're so excited. It proves that I made the right gift."
"Ms. Ren, no, Sister Ren." He immediately changed his words, and this address made Ren Lu raise an eyebrow.
"Do you mind if I call you that?" he asked again.
Ren Lu chuckled and shook her head. Since she had already called it out, why would she still care? She shouldn't be so petty.
"You've helped me so much, how can I repay you?" he asked seriously.
Ren Lu raised her head and looked at him. The man in front of her sat upright, looking as if he had done nothing.
"When you become rich, just say hello when you meet someone. Don't be so arrogant and pretend you didn't see anything," she joked.
"Sister Ren, you may have some misunderstandings about me. Although I am a little cunning, or as Jiang Sheng said, I have a lot of tricks, but I am not an ungrateful person, nor am I an ungrateful person. I am smart in order to move forward in a better way. I will not do anything to hurt others, and I am not a shallow-eyed person." He explained sincerely.
Ren Lu nodded, "I know, I didn't say you were a mean person."
"You've been asking me out for dinner before, but it didn't go through. Why don't we have dinner together tonight?" She took the initiative to change the subject.
"Okay." He nodded immediately.
Ren Lu pressed the bell, and soon a waiter came in with a food cart. It was obvious that she had asked someone to prepare the food long ago. The food was very rich in variety and looked delicious, which made people's mouths water.
Ren Lu ate with relish, without any intention of being reserved. She was just looking for a nice dining companion anyway, and treated it as watching TV while eating.
Yuanlang, on the other hand, seemed to have no appetite for food, or rather, his attention was not on eating and he was always distracted.
Sometimes he frowned, sometimes he glanced secretly at Ren Lu, as if he was thinking about something.
She was very satisfied with the meal, but he couldn't eat much and only ate a few bites.
Ren Lu picked up the napkin and wiped her mouth, then smiled politely at him: "Why, no appetite?"
"A little bit. I had a cup of coffee before coming here, so I'm not very hungry."
"It's okay. The hotel provides food 24 hours a day. You can order food anytime when you are hungry." Ren Lu comforted him and prepared to say goodbye to him.
Yuan Lang was reluctant to leave. He asked again, "Sister Ren, you have given me such a great help, I must repay you. Whatever you want, as long as I can do it, it's fine."
Ren Lu tilted her head and glanced at him. The young man looked at her tenderly, his eyes seemed extremely affectionate. In fact, some words do not need to be said too bluntly, and many meanings can be expressed clearly in the adult world.
"Really, that's not necessary. I gave folders to every male model before you came, and I didn't ask for anything in return. You must be very tired from walking on the runway and getting into the water these past few days. Just consider it as your reward." She refused again.
"If you don't want theirs, that's their business, but you can ask for my reward," he insisted.
Ren Lu became interested. She wanted to see what this cunning male model in front of her was trying to do.
"When it comes to things like rewards, it is only possible for two people with equal status and wealth to make an equal transaction. But now it is obvious that my wealth is higher than yours, and what you have is not what I want. Why don't you tell me what you can give me in return?" she asked directly.
After she said this, Yuan Lang, who had been moving forward radically, suddenly fell silent. He seemed a little timid and hesitant, obviously trying to balance the pros and cons.
After a long silence, he finally spoke: "Sister Ren is divorced now, but you must still have feelings for your ex-husband, right? I don't know why you divorced, and I am not qualified to ask, but I know that you loved him so much, but you left him like this. I guess there must be a compelling reason. It must be very painful, right? That's why you ran away from home, went to the beach to play, and found a group of male models to surround you, trying to numb the pain brought by marriage with another kind of happiness, right?"
It was obvious that he had prepared these words in advance, and his tone was particularly gentle and considerate, and he was considerate at every turn.
When Ren Lu heard this, she almost couldn't hold back her expression, but luckily she bit her lower lip to prevent herself from laughing.
How good must her acting skills be? Why does everyone say that she loves her husband to death? Even a male model plays the emotional card with her, and she wants to cry for help.
"So, what does this have to do with your repayment?" She tried to control her emotions and asked this question as calmly as possible.
However, to Yuen Long, this forbearing tone was an expression that she was deeply hurt in love, and she couldn't help wanting to cry when her scars were exposed, but she was trying hard to restrain herself.
"How much do you think I look like Mr. Lu today?" This time he asked boldly without hesitation.
Ren Lu's breathing paused, and then she suddenly realized.
She said, why is Yuan Lang wearing a suit from the beginning and is so pretentious? She almost thought that Yuan Lang was a crazy fan of Lu Sinian and it turned out that he was preparing it for her.
