Chapter 85 Coldness: Lu Yizhou Misunderstood Her Again and Again
Shi Yu pinched it with her fingertips.
A pale blue light rippled out and "whoosh"ed into the body of a stray cat lazily sunbathing on the roof.
The stray cat shuddered, its fur standing on end.
At that moment, it quickly stood up and its eyes changed, turning a deep, dark green as it stared intently at the girl in the red dress.
Seeing that she had taken the money and left without Shi Yu even calling out to her, the woman in the red dress felt relieved, but also curled her lips into a disdainful smile.
At this point, the fish was nothing more than a paper tiger.
She had overestimated her before.
But to her surprise, the smug look on her face didn't last long before a sharp cat meow suddenly rang in her ears.
The girl in the red dress was startled.
She subconsciously looked up, but before she could react, a swift black shadow had already descended from the sky and pounced on her.
The cat's claws were sharp; with two quick swipes, they slashed fiercely across the girl's cheek in the red dress.
"ah!!!"
As blood splattered everywhere, the girl in the red dress covered her face, bent over, and let out heart-wrenching screams.
The money slipped from his hand and fluttered to the ground.
At that moment, the stray cat also landed on the ground.
Its claws were clearly stained with blood.
But after landing, the stray cat didn't linger. It bent its hind legs, leaped onto the roof in a few quick leaps, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"This...this..."
Everyone was stunned by this scene.
Shi Yu didn't come to her senses until she walked over and picked up the money from the ground.
"If there's nothing else, everyone can leave!" Shi Yu glanced at the crowd indifferently. "This wildcat is untamed. It wouldn't be good if it suddenly went berserk and hurt you."
Upon hearing that last sentence, everyone couldn't help but shudder.
Looking at Shi Yu, and then at the girl in the red dress whose face was covered in blood, they felt a sense of dread and quickly turned away.
"My face, my face..."
The girl in the red dress looked at the blood on her palm, her heart breaking.
If she gets disfigured, how will she ever face anyone again, and how will she be with Lin Zhicheng?
Overwhelmed with grief and indignation, she no longer cared about Shi Yu and stumbled and ran frantically toward her friend's house.
Shi Yu put the money away, turned around, and was about to enter the courtyard when she looked up and suddenly saw Lu Yizhou.
He stood at a distance.
Not moving at all.
For some reason, as Shi Yu and Lu Yizhou looked at each other, Shi Yu felt that something was off about his demeanor.
His eyes were slightly cold, and the atmosphere around him was somewhat oppressive.
Remembering the blueprints, Shi Yu didn't think much of it and quickly walked towards him. "By the way, Lu Yizhou, Jiang Haiwang asked me to give you these blueprints."
Lu Yizhou gave Shi Yu a deep look.
My feelings are mixed.
Disappointment was mixed with a distinct sense of frustration.
He was worried that something had happened to her, so he specially put aside his important work to come out and look for her.
But what was the result?
Shi Yu is currently arguing with someone over a man's affections, and is throwing money at her rival.
"Shi Yu, you're quite wealthy!" Instead of taking the blueprints, Lu Yizhou just kept staring at Shi Yu.
Shi Yu didn't detect anything amiss in Lu Yizhou's tone. On the contrary, she was indeed wealthy, so there was no need to deny it. "Yes!"
"Alright, here are your drawings. Didn't you say you needed them urgently? Here you go!" With that, Shi Yu took Lu Yizhou's hand and placed the drawings in his palm.
Lu Yizhou's body stiffened.
I feel a dull ache in my chest, a vague sense of unease.
Thank you!
Without making a sound, he took his hand away, avoiding Shi Yu's touch, and then turned and left without saying a word.
"Um?"
Shi Yu tilted her head, looking at Lu Yizhou's departing figure with a puzzled expression.
What happened?
Is he in a bad mood?
Shi Yu didn't have time to think about it carefully, because the girl in the red dress must have other insidious tricks up her sleeve, and she had to be careful.
...
Meanwhile, Lu Yizhou had just returned home when Lin Zhicheng arrived.
He was also carrying a gift in his hand.
Lu Yizhou merely glanced at him indifferently and remained silent.
However, Lu's mother looked at the gifts placed on the table with a puzzled expression.
Their family has never had any contact with Lin Zhicheng.
What does he want by suddenly showing up with gifts?
Sensing something amiss, Lu's mother immediately asked, "What are you doing?"
Lin Zhicheng forced a smile, his attitude sincere, "I'm here to apologize to Brother Lu."
"Apologize?"
"Yes!" Lin Zhicheng nodded. "Shi Yu provoked me and got my attention, so I deliberately approached Brother Lu."
"After all, this matter was caused by me, and I feel bad that Brother Lu was used by Shi Yu."
"So, I brought some small gifts to visit Brother Lu, hoping to apologize on Shi Yu's behalf."
"Brother Lu, you don't mind, do you?"
While he spoke words that seemed apologetic, Lin Zhicheng's gaze towards Lu Yizhou clearly carried a hint of smugness.
Lu Yizhou's pupils furrowed slightly.
The atmosphere around me inexplicably became a little heavier.
On the contrary, Lu's mother's eyes lit up.
Shi Yu was always clinging to her son, and the two were getting too close. She was worried about not finding an opportunity to sabotage their relationship.
Now, the opportunity has come knocking on our door!
"Look at what you're saying, it's not a big deal!" Mrs. Lu said with a smile. "This just shows that Shi Yu really likes you, which is why she did this."
"I have to say, you two are a perfect match. Your children, whether boys or girls, will definitely be beautiful."
"Son, don't you think so?"
Lu Yizhou remained silent.
only……
The fingertips gripping the blueprint tightened unconsciously.
"By the way, when are you getting married?" Lu's mother then asked deliberately.
Lin Zhicheng glanced at Lu Yizhou first, and then spoke smugly.
"Not necessarily, it depends on her performance."
"Alright, alright, when you get married, your aunt will definitely give you a big red envelope. Or, you can stay and share it with us..."
However, before Lu's mother could even utter the words "dinner," Lu Yizhou interrupted her.
"You're a busy person, so I won't keep you for dinner. Goodbye. Also, please take your belongings with you."
Lin Zhicheng's smug expression froze.
However, Lu Yizhou was usually quite indifferent to everyone, so when he thought about it this way, he suddenly didn't feel embarrassed anymore.
On the contrary, I was in a good mood.
Because the goal was achieved, but nothing was actually built.
How wonderful!
Lin Zhicheng turned around and left with the gift.
As Lin Zhicheng stepped out of the Lu family's gate, he paused for a moment.
He did not leave immediately.
Instead, he turned his head, his gaze deep and unfathomable, and glanced once more at the Lu family's courtyard.
Lin Zhicheng curled his lips into a smug, cold smile.
Men all have self-respect.
Moreover, Lu Yizhou is a powerful man who rarely shows his emotions.
Just wait!
He not only had to break Shi Yu's feigned indifference, but also had to prove to Lu Yizhou and to everyone on Black Mountain Island that Shi Yu was willing to do anything, no matter how shameless, for him, Lin Zhicheng.
She made everyone despise her, turning her into a rat in the street, hated and beaten by everyone.
Let her continue to willingly be her devoted follower!
