Chapter 631 Just a Servant
The Li family doesn't have to marry into the Li family, and Lu Tingchuan is not the only man in the world.
But Li Yun just couldn't let him go. She was like a person stuck in a quagmire. The more she struggled, the deeper she sank.
When Li Yun found out that Lu Tingchuan had a lover behind her back, she also thought about breaking off the engagement, but she couldn't help but think of all the good things about Lu Tingchuan.
Thinking back to the first time they met, he helped her get her bag back, and they went on a date to eat and watch a movie. They were so in tune with each other, and he was handsome. Considering his family background, this man was undoubtedly the most perfect one she had ever met, even though he had a lover.
Among the rich people in their circle, who isn't lustful? Even her father is still living a life of debauchery behind her back?
Li Yun didn't want to let go of Lu Tingchuan because she was unwilling to accept that Lu Tingchuan didn't have her in his heart. It was obvious that she was better than this woman named Shen Qing in every way.
Shen Qing was a country girl from the countryside, penniless, rustic, and with nothing. How could she compare to her? Why would Lu Tingchuan have such a crush on her?
If Shen Qing is obedient and willing to leave, she will let her go. If she is not willing...
A fierce look flashed across Li Yun's eyes.
Li Yun has the corresponding capital to make her confident, she knows very well what Lu Tingchuan's situation is like in the Li family.
Li Yun may not want Lu Tingchuan, but Lu Tingchuan has to get engaged to her. Old Master Li is old and his health has been getting worse recently. He is in urgent need of someone to inherit the family business. In addition to Lu Tingchuan, the Li family also has Li Jingshen.
She can help Lu Tingchuan acquire the Li family's shares and the family property, but can Shen Qing do it?
When it comes to feelings and interests, she is 100% sure that Lu Tingchuan will definitely abandon Shen Qing and choose interests.
What does emotion mean to these "capitalists"? It is nothing more than a spice of life and a sacrifice when necessary.
Soon, she would get confirmation.
Suddenly, there was the sound of an engine outside. Compared with Shen Qing's reaction, Li Yun's expression was very calm, as if she had already expected someone to come back at this time.
Lu Tingchuan saw a black car parked outside from a distance. There were obvious tire marks on the road, and it seemed that it had just arrived.
Lu Tingchuan's eyes darkened for a moment. He had focused all his attention on Shen Qing these past few days. Knowing that she would not leave, he went on a business trip without any worries, leaving her alone at home without anyone to look after her. He never thought that his momentary slackness would attract Li Yun.
If Li Yun hadn't sent him her location, saying that she had gone to North City to find him, he would probably still be kept in the dark.
When did Li Yun find out that he had a house in Beicheng? Since she knew he bought a house there, did she know about Shen Qing's existence?
Lu Tingchuan was extremely upset, but he couldn't stop Li Yun from going, so he could only come back early.
Until now, Lu Tingchuan still didn't understand why he was worried.
Is he afraid that Li Yun will embarrass Shen Qing after knowing everything, or is he worried about losing his interests?
Lu Tingchuan got out of the car and walked in quickly. As soon as he entered, he quickly found Shen Qing's shadow. After a quick glance, he fixed his eyes on Li Yun who was sitting on the sofa and drinking coffee slowly.
"You're back quite early." Li Yun put down the coffee in her hand, stood up, and walked towards Lu Tingchuan in her high heels.
Lu Tingchuan said "hmm", and the corners of his mouth curled up. Although his face seemed unchanged, his eyes were actually filled with inquiry. He couldn't tell what Li Yun's expression was at the moment. Did she know or not? So she came here without any purpose. Was it just to see him?
"Why did you suddenly want to come to me?" he asked.
"We are an engaged couple after all. Isn't it normal for me to come to your house and have dinner with you?"
"Have you had lunch yet? If not, let's go out and eat."
"Not yet." Li Yun hooked her arm around his and pressed herself against him intimately, completely ignoring Shen Qing who was standing beside her.
"I just got here and drank a glass of milk for breakfast. Now I'm hungry... I came here secretly to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect there was someone else in this room." Li Yun pretended nothing had happened before, pointing at Shen Qing beside her and asked, "Who is she?"
Regardless of whether Li Yun really knew or pretended to know, what she was doing now was nothing more than wanting Lu Tingchuan to express his stance and ask him to give her a way out.
"She is a servant I hired."
Li Yun raised her head and asked again with emphasis, "Is he really just a servant?"
Lu Tingchuan put his arm around her waist, raised his lip and said, "Of course. She cooks delicious food and is good at housework. I hired her to do the work of four or five people. She cleans the house, does the laundry, trims the branches in the yard, weeds... She does it all by herself."
"Oh, I see." Li Yun got a satisfactory answer. Lu Tingchuan did not disappoint her.
Shen Qing lowered her head. Lu Tingchuan was right. She was a servant and did everything. But he forgot to mention one thing: she also went to bed with him.
The picture of Lu Tingchuan and Li Yun standing together is so perfect, a talented man and a beautiful woman made for each other.
She had also tried to imagine what Lu Tingchuan was like when he was with other women, but even if she had imagined thousands of things in her mind, none of them were as good as what she saw with her own eyes today.
This was the first time she had seen Lu Tingchuan like this. He was so gentle to people, smiling happily, and speaking in a soft tone. She didn't have to look at him, but could feel the sweetness just by listening to his voice.
After just one listen, her heart softened.
The gentle Lu Tingchuan is an existence that people yearn for.
She had fallen in love with Lu Tingchuan's slight tenderness. Even though she later knew that he was pretending, she still couldn't help but think about it occasionally.
Li Yun: "It's good that you're a servant. I thought you were my hidden lover."
Lu Tingchuan glanced at Shen Qing from the corner of his eye, and his thin lips moved: "I would never fall in love with her if I were to fall in love with anyone else. I already have you, so it's impossible for me to have a lover. You and her will never be comparable."
Lu Tingchuan spoke in a rather cold tone, his voice as if hardened by ice. Every word he spoke slowly was like a sharp knife.
"I'm hungry and don't want to go out to eat. Didn't you say that this maid cooks delicious food? Then let her cook. I want to try it at noon today." Li Yun looked at Shen Qing while speaking. When she saw that Shen Qing's face was getting paler and paler, the smile on the corner of her mouth kept getting bigger.
Don't you like to pretend in front of her? I want to see how you can pretend now, bitch
Shen Qingchu stood still, and Lu Tingchuan scolded her, "Didn't you hear me? Go cook."
Only then did Shen Qing leave.
After entering the kitchen, the voices of the two people were still lingering in her ears, and she couldn't get rid of them.
Shen Qing wanted to laugh, but couldn't.
Is there no comparison?
Shen Qing sees reality better than anyone else, and she naturally knows the gap between her and Li Yun.
Just like how she could never imitate Shen Zhichu no matter how hard she tried, and how she stayed with Lu Tingchuan for so long but was still timid and made no progress at all.
Even though they hugged each other every night and were so close to each other, the "inappropriate" relationship between them was like a chasm that was difficult to cross.
People who lack sunshine, after finally climbing out of the abyss, will also be hurt by the sunlight.
After being hurt for a long time, I got used to the pain and in the end I didn’t even dare to ask for help.
Shen Qing's vision became blurry, and there was a roaring sound in her ears. She could no longer hear what the two people in the living room were doing or saying.
But think about it, an engaged couple has such a close relationship, and the person Lu Tingchuan is willing to marry must also like her.
Stop loss in time. In addition to stop loss, time is also important. Time is priceless and more precious than anything else.
Shen Qing worked hard to cook a table full of dishes, all of which were Lu Tingchuan's favorites.
"It's such a delicious meal." Li Yun washed her hands and came to the table. "It smells so good."
Lu Tingchuan served Li Yun a bowl of soup and said, "Try it."
"That's great! Isn't she going to the table?"
Lu Tingchuan: "Have you ever seen a servant come to the table?"
Li Yun smiled with satisfaction and said nothing.
Shen Qing felt a pang of pain in her heart, but she had returned to the way she had been at the beginning. In the past, after she had cooked for Lu Tingchuan, hadn't she also stood in an inconspicuous corner and waited for him to finish eating before serving him the table? Now it was just back to normal, there was nothing to be accustomed to.
Yeah...it was nothing to be accustomed to. She was leaving him soon, wasn't she? She wouldn't have to be his lover anymore, she could be free again, she should be happy.
"Your maid is not only skilled but also beautiful. I want to ask where you found her."
Lu Tingchuan asked, "Are you jealous?"
Li Yun hummed, then asked tentatively, "Do you think I'm narrow-minded?"
Lu Tingchuan shook his head, his dark brown eyes full of meaning. "If you really care about her, I'll fire her this month."
