75 075 The willing one takes the bait
◎Fishing.◎
On the day when Lu Siyue finished the college entrance examination, Ren Lu was standing outside the examination room waiting for her. When the little girl saw her, she rushed over and hugged her tightly, looking very excited.
"You're hugging me so hard. It looks like you're doing a good job!" Ren Lu didn't move. She let her hug her and gently stroked her back.
"It's OK. I'm doing fine. I'm happy that I've finally gotten rid of the miserable high school life. My life isn't so dark anymore. Every day I do nothing but study." She let go after hugging him enough, expressing her joy enthusiastically.
Seeing her so happy, Ren Lu wanted to tease her and deliberately poured cold water on her, saying, "That's not necessarily true. If you don't do well in the exam, you will have to repeat the year and continue your high school life. But I don't agree that you spent your three years in high school studying all the time. You're clearly in love with Huang Mao."
"You really deserve a beating. You have such a poisonous tongue. Don't poison yourself to death." Lu Siyue was so angry that she jumped up and down. She stretched out her hand as if she was going to hit her, but the slap did not land in the end.
To be honest, ever since her eldest brother died, her relationship with her eldest sister-in-law has made great progress. In addition, Ren Lu has also revealed her true nature. She is no longer the same as before, always wearing a mask and pretending to be virtuous and gentle. Instead, she often teases her. Although her words are a bit sharp, the previous sense of distance is gone. This also allows Lu Siyue to fight poison with poison when she is in a bad mood, which makes her feel more relaxed.
"Thank you for the compliment." Ren Lu was not ashamed, but proud, thinking that she was complimenting her.
"The college entrance exam is over, and the next step is to relax. The cruise ship has been arranged, and when you have rested enough, invite your friends to go and play together."
Lu Siyue was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but sigh at the speed at which her sister-in-law changed her expression. She was teasing her in the last second, and then she was gentle in the next second.
"After you bought the cruise ship, have you ever been on it?"
"No, it's my first time too."
"How about you ask your friends to go up and play first, and then I'll go?" Lu Siyue said a little embarrassedly.
Ren Lu suddenly widened her eyes and looked at her in surprise, with a smile on her face: "It's amazing, Miss is so considerate of others now. It's your brother's money, so it doesn't matter who goes to play first. If mom hadn't been so busy recently, I would have wanted her to go up and play first."
"Tsk, I'm not a fool. I still understand the basic etiquette of the world." Lu Siyue said disdainfully.
Ren Lu chuckled, "Don't worry, I'll go with you. The cruise ship is so big, you young adults can only take up two floors at most, and the rest is mine. You can invite both male and female classmates, don't worry, they won't stay overnight, the activities are still very healthy."
"You'd better not do anything messy. My classmates are just adults. If you do something stupid and the reporters find out, they will definitely be denounced online." Lu Siyue now knew what to use to threaten her.
"I know, I know. You are all the thriving sun. I won't let any dark clouds touch you."
Ren Lu took her out for a big meal and then returned to the villa.
Lu Siyue slept almost the entire day and only had time to invite her classmates the next day. Fortunately, everyone had almost recovered and most of them accepted her invitation. When she checked the number of people, she found that there were quite a few, more than a dozen.
"Is Huangmao coming?" Ren Lu asked.
This immediately caused Lu Siyue to roll her eyes: "His name is Chen Yan. He is not coming. He wants to work during the summer vacation to earn tuition."
"That's a shame. I've prepared a lot of food, drinks and entertainment activities. It would be a waste if you don't come."
"Although he looks like a little gangster, he is actually very proud and has high self-esteem, and he won't accept charity." Lu Siyue couldn't help but speak up for him.
Ren Lu nodded to show her understanding: "I was like this before, like a weed with tenacious vitality, trying my best to absorb all the nutrients, wanting to become stronger and grow into a towering tree."
Lu Siyue thought of Ren Lu's previous miserable experience. She had severed ties with her biological father, and her story was exposed to the whole Internet. She was indeed very resilient, otherwise she would not have been able to graduate with a high degree and work as a secretary for Lu Sinian.
"God helps those who work hard, and you have indeed done it. Otherwise, you would not have met my brother and become my sister-in-law." She said affirmatively, with a hint of praise in her voice.
"No, your brother didn't like my talent and character, but my appearance. Then I realized that relying on my own efforts was too tiring, and it would be better to find a rich man and achieve success overnight. It turns out that taking shortcuts is more comfortable!" Ren Lu shook her head, directly breaking her fantasy.
Lu Siyue couldn't laugh anymore. She looked at Ren Lu with an absurd expression. She opened her mouth to speak several times, but swallowed it back. Finally, she managed to say, "You are crazy!"
"Telling me this? How can I listen to it? I haven't even gone to college yet, so I don't need to understand the darkness of this society. I won't hang out with rich men!" She calmed herself down before continuing her protest.
"Of course you can't be with a rich guy. I'm trying to motivate you to become a rich guy so that others can be with you." Ren Lu made a few unreasonable arguments before getting to the point: "Let Chen Yan come and play. After all, you two had a good relationship during the three years of high school. With so many classmates and friends coming, his first love, with whom he has a special relationship, is absent. Will he feel regretful when he thinks about it later?"
Lu Siyue stopped talking immediately. After thinking for a few seconds, she nodded and agreed: "I'll ask him again. He is a very stubborn person. It's hard to go back on his decision."
"That's because I haven't met you. If he's no exception to your situation, then you'd better dump him as soon as possible. It's not worth wasting your feelings." Ren Lu asserted.
Lu Siyue rolled her eyes and pouted, "You said it so decisively, but you didn't do that to my brother."
After she finished speaking, her eyes were flustered for a moment. She knew that she had spoken too quickly and brought up something that was not relevant.
Although Ren Lu no longer seems as sad as she was before about Lu Sinian's death, it is still hurtful to mention that Lu Sinian was not special to her when he was alive.
Ren Lu didn't deliberately act in front of her, but waved her hand: "Don't forget that your brother has a nickname known to the whole network, called the pretentious freak. Even if he compromises with me, he won't let you see it easily, otherwise where would his face be. Besides, you can't make such an analogy, after all, I am the one who relies on him, not him relying on me. Show your ladylike temper, why does Chen Yan have such a high attitude in front of you!"
Ren Lu didn't want to break them up, nor did she want to interfere intentionally, but she was afraid that Lu Siyue would become a love-brained person like Jiang Xiu. If Chen Yan, the yellow-haired guy, didn't work hard on himself and tried to seduce Lu Siyue away, he would be condemned by everyone.
"I know what to do. Besides, he and I have broken up, and I'm not in the mood to fall in love now. You are not allowed to mention it again, otherwise I will let it slip one day and I will be embarrassed." Lu Siyue pretended to cover her mouth.

On the appointed day, the weather was clear and the temperature was just right.
The blue sea and blue sky, the water and the sky are connected, and the cruise ship slowly glides in this endless indigo. The bow of the ship brushes the water surface, and the white waves roll like broken jade, dragging out a gradually flat route.
All of Lu Siyue's friends arrived and walked into the cabin one by one on the splint.
The aunt and sister-in-law stood at the door to greet them. Ren Lu looked at these young men and women carefully and found several familiar faces. They were the transfer students she had prepared for Lu Siyue before. Most of them were the male and female protagonists in various books.
"Hello, sister." They greeted one after another.
"Hello, everyone, welcome to come and play. The venue is ready, let Si Yue take you there, I won't join in the fun, just have fun!" Ren Lu was very considerate.
As a widow whose husband had died, she couldn't play with these young girls who had just come of age.
Ren Lu patted Lu Siyue's shoulder, and seeing Chen Yan walking at the back, she secretly poked her on the back and looked at her teasingly.
Of course, this performance immediately caused the little girl to roll her eyes.
Before Ren Lu left, she reminded her, "Remember, the top floor is my playground, children, don't go up there."
"Got it." Lu Siyue waved her hand impatiently. After hesitating for two seconds, she asked, "What do you want to play? Although I'm with you, you're also my brother's biological sister. You can't betray him!"
Ren Lu was amused by her statement and patted her head, "You are here, I can't play even if I want to, don't worry."
After saying goodbye to Lu Siyue, Ren Lu went straight to the top floor.
She spent 500 million to buy this luxury cruise ship. Today is its maiden voyage, which is very commemorative, so naturally she wants to make it a bigger event.
Originally, she should have had a half party and invited a few close friends to celebrate. The stacked champagne towers, mixed with the scent of perfume from the guests, created an air of luxury.
Waiters with broad shoulders and long legs were walking around carrying silver-plated trays, while the guests were chatting and laughing, toasting each other.
But after all, there was a group of high school students downstairs, so she decided not to invite any guests, so as to avoid conflicts and embarrassment for both parties.
So she only held a party for herself today, with a champagne tower, handsome waiters, and everything else. She even had a stage built and invited a young dance troupe to perform specifically for her.
All the waiters coming and going were young men, not a single girl; however, the dance troupe consisted of both men and women.
Opposite the huge stage, there was only a red sofa. She leaned back in the chair, holding a glass of champagne in her hand, sipping it slowly, staring at the stage leisurely, enjoying this dance that was performed just for her.
This banquet that belonged exclusively to her was organized by Vicky. When Vicky heard Ren Lu's instructions, she almost couldn't control the expression on her face. She repeated the question twice before she dared to confirm.
Even after Ren Lu finished giving the order, she added a reminder: "The waiters for the banquet should be clean and handsome, and the dance troupe should be young and famous. Oh, and be sure to keep a low profile and sign a confidentiality agreement with all these people. I don't want any reporter to find out. If the whole network knows about it, I will be judged again."
"Okay, ma'am, don't worry, I will definitely get it done." Vicky agreed immediately.
Ren Lu snorted and corrected him uninterestedly, "Don't call me Madam. Mr. Lu has been dead for a long time. Just call me by my name."
When Vicky heard this, sweat instantly broke out on her back, which almost showed her attitude.
It’s over, it’s over, my wife is really going to cheat on me.
That's not true. Just as Ren Lu said, Mr. Lu has been dead for a long time and the marriage no longer exists. Strictly speaking, it's not cheating. At most, it's a widow's second spring.
"Okay, Ms. Ren." Vicky was not one to take advantage of others. She actually called her by her name, which made it sound more respectful.
A widow with philandering thoughts should not be provoked. At this time, Ren Lu is like a poisonous snake, and anyone who dares to provoke her may be bitten.
In the slightly empty banquet hall, passionate music was playing and dancers on the stage were dancing passionately.
Perhaps they sensed their employer's intention, so the dancers were all male and they danced very seductively. When they danced vigorously, the flowing hems of their shirts rose up, revealing their strong and lean waists, which was quite impactful.
Ren Lu held her chin with one hand and watched with a dull look.
Well, she dances vigorously and has a nice figure, but she is not really here to be an empress and choose a male concubine.
She did want to choose, but she was afraid that if she really did choose, it would cause countless troubles. Instead of spending all her energy to deal with the mess, it would be better to save some trouble.
And the most important thing is that her purpose this time is not to seduce other men, but to hook up with her dead husband.
Ren Lu's eyes would occasionally wander to the men in the room, trying to identify which one looked like Lu Sinian.
But Vicky seemed to have done it too perfectly. After understanding what she meant, the men she found all had good figures. Some of them even looked very similar to Lu Sinian, as if they were stand-ins.
In order to make it easier for Lu Sinian to sneak in, Ren Lu asked the waiters and dancers to wear ball masks so that their faces could not be seen. It would be difficult for her to accurately identify them just by their body shapes.
After searching for a few times, she was still not sure and gave up.
Forget it. With that bastard Lu Sinian's character, he might get on the boat and hide in the dark, and not show up at the venue at all, until the critical moment. Then she would follow the original plan, put out the bait first, and wait for him to take the bait.
"Okay, I feel a little dizzy." She drank several glasses in a row and looked drunk, with a flushed face and blurry eyes.
"Well - take me back to my room to rest, and everyone else can go away." She casually ordered a waiter.
