Disturbed and confused, Shen Jinmo returned to the small villa on Shengyang Road.
I haven't stayed here for a few days, and I'm starting to miss it.
The car drove into the yard, but Lu Zhiwei's car was nowhere to be seen. Why hadn't she returned yet at this hour?
It's better that he didn't come back. He listened to his grandmother and decided not to appear in front of her for the next few days to avoid upsetting her. He kept his word.
The lights were on in the room on the first floor.
After changing her shoes, she went into the living room and knocked on Jiang Zhan's door.
Jiang Zhan, who was working on his graduation project, thought Lu Zhiwei had returned and brought him some delicious food. He happily ran over and opened the door: "Sis, what delicious food did you bring me today?"
As soon as the door opened, Jiang Zhan's smile vanished upon seeing Shen Jinmo's gloomy face: "What, it's you?"
"Why can't it be me? Don't forget I live here too."
"So you still know you live here? Your dog hasn't been fed for three days." Jiang Zhan crossed his arms and scoffed.
"With you guys here, it won't starve. Want something to eat? I'll drive you out to eat?" Shen Jinmo suddenly turned her attention to Jiang Zhan.
Having blocked both William's and Luo Wuyan's paths, Shen Jiarui had no choice but to find another way.
"I'm not hungry." Jiang Zhan prepared to close the door.
Shen Jinmo placed his hand on the doorway: "Want to chat?"
"What do you want to talk about?" Jiang Zhan asked sharply.
During this period, his relationship with Lu Zhiwei grew stronger. Knowing the cold treatment Lu Zhiwei had suffered in the years since marrying Shen Jinmo, he naturally wanted to stand on his sister's side and unite against outsiders.
"Have you been cooking for Lu Zhiwei a lot these past few days? Do you know what she likes to eat?" Shen Jinmo asked sincerely.
Jiang Zhan leaned against the door frame and sneered, "You've been married to my sister for three years, don't you know what she likes to eat? You come to ask me?"
"If I had known, I wouldn't have gotten a divorce." Shen Jinmo's face darkened.
"...You're quite self-aware. But I'm afraid I can't tell you." Jiang Zhan raised an eyebrow arrogantly, refusing to even look at him.
Shen Jinmo wasn't annoyed. He pulled up the lease agreement saved on his phone: "I have the right to dispose of this property. I can decide who to rent it to or not."
Shen Jinmo's move hit Jiang Zhan's weak spot: "I can tell you, you'll never win her over anyway. Lately, she likes to eat pickled plums, pickled fish, and stir-fried cabbage with vinegar..."
Shen Jinmo frowned, repeatedly memorizing Jiang Zhan's words.
I haven't seen her enjoy eating these dishes in the past three years.
She seems to be pregnant, craving sour foods.
"What does she usually like to do?" Shen Jinmo seized the opportunity and asked.
He'd finally found someone easy to manipulate, so he had to make the most of them.
“She’s been playing games with me every night for the past few days. This one.” Jiang Zhan took his phone out of his pocket and pointed to an app to show him.
Shen Jinmo squinted and took a closer look; it was a battle game.
He had heard of it, but had never played it, so he downloaded it when he got home.
"Stop looking, you can't play this game." Jiang Zhan put his phone away and mocked loudly.
"Why?" Shen Jinmo frowned.
"You're getting old, your hand speed can't keep up anymore," Jiang Zhan said honestly.
"..." Shen Jinmo.
Before Shen Jinmo could ask anything else, Jiang Zhan's phone rang. It was Lu Zhiwei calling.
Jiang Zhan answered the call in front of Shen Jinmo and even put it on speakerphone.
"I'm on my way back. What kind of late-night snack do you want? I'll bring you some."
Lu Zhiwei truly dotes on Jiang Zhan; Shen Jinmo had received the same treatment before.
But now, it's gone, never to return.
Standing to the side, Shen Jinmo felt a sour taste in his throat, as if he had swallowed vinegar.
"No need, sis, I've been kidnapped! Come back and save me!" Jiang Zhan cried out for help, clutching his phone.
"..." Shen Jinmo's cold eyes widened slightly.
When did he kidnap him?
That brat's mouth is really something—
Lu Zhiwei drove back to the villa, but Shen Jinmo had already fled.
Seeing that Jiang Zhan was unharmed, Lu Zhiwei finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't scare me next time."
Ever since she dealt with the Sun family, she was always worried that they would come to retaliate. Jiang Zhan had no power or influence, so he would inevitably be the target of their revenge.
So she has spent almost all of these days with him.
"That Mr. Shen just threatened me with the rental contract to find out your hobbies. I was forced to tell him what your favorite dishes are and what games you like to play. But don't worry, sis, he can't cook and he can't play games, so those two things I revealed won't work on him at all."
Lu Zhiwei smiled and shook her head: "You're so clever."
"Hehe." Jiang Zhan scratched his head shyly after being praised.
Looking towards the doorway, Lu Zhiwei's expression was solemn.
It seems that Shen Jinmo is serious this time.
At first, she thought he was getting close to William because he still harbored ambitions to join the design league, but today she was completely certain.
He was still harboring treacherous intentions towards himself.
"Starting tomorrow, keep the doors and windows closed and don't let the dog in," Lu Zhiwei reminded Jiang Zhan.
Jiang Zhan understood in a second: "Understood."
——
The next day.
Lu's Group.
Lu Yunsheng convened a group morning meeting. In addition to announcing that the group's upcoming 520 celebration required all departments to work together as soon as possible, he also brought Lu Jingyao into the meeting room.
In front of all the senior executives, it was announced that Lu Jingyao would be appointed as Lu Zhiwei's intern secretary and would be under Lu Zhiwei's control.
Lu Yunsheng did not discuss this decision with Lu Zhiwei beforehand.
Obviously, this is a very absurd decision, one that pleases neither side.
Lu Jingyao was proud and arrogant; how could she be willing to be subordinate to Lu Zhiwei and become a mere deputy general manager's secretary?
