Upon seeing that it was his father, Ruan Jizhou immediately became alert and stood up straight: "Dad."
"Hello, Uncle Zhou." Shen Jinmo also greeted him.
"Mo'er, are you hospitalized here?" Zhou's father asked with some surprise as he looked at the hospital gown on Shen Jinmo.
"Mm." Shen Jingmo nodded.
"What illness do you have?" Zhou Zhengting was still very concerned about these younger generations, his face beaming with a kind smile, his refined demeanor mirroring Ruan Jizhou's innate temperament.
"It's just a minor illness, nothing serious," Shen Jinmo replied.
At this moment, Lu Zhiwei walked out of the emergency room.
She covered her slightly protruding belly.
Zhou Zhengting recognized Lu Zhiwei at a glance. She was Lu Yunsheng's daughter, whom he had brought back from abroad. Not long ago, she had made a big splash in the Lu Group by bringing down the old fox Lu Yunsheng, and she was quite famous in Yunzhou.
Lu Yunsheng is still in the hospital, and he complains to Lu Zhiwei all day long that she is an ingrate.
He didn't seem to care.
In the business world, there is no such thing as family ties, only winning and losing.
He actually quite admired this Miss Lu.
Therefore, she didn't mind that she had been married to Shen Jinmo, and she still tried her best to facilitate the marriage between her and her son.
A woman who can dominate the business world and also make both Shen Jinmo and her son Zhou Yan fall in love with her is definitely no ordinary woman.
Noticing the elder's scrutinizing gaze, Lu Zhiwei stammered, "May I ask who you are?"
“This is my dad,” Ruan Jizhou said first.
"Hello, Uncle." Lu Zhiwei nodded.
"Yes, I've been wanting to invite you over for a meal, but I'm busy and you're busy too. I heard from Yan'er that he has to find the right opportunity to invite you." Zhou Zhengting smiled, without any of the imposing presence of an elder, making him very comfortable to be around.
"I'm not that busy, Uncle. I'll treat you to a meal sometime," Lu Zhiwei said with a smile.
"No way, it should be your uncle who invites you. I think you seem to be pregnant. May I ask if it's our Yan'er's?" Zhou Zhengting's gaze lingered on her lower abdomen.
Shen Jingmo, who was standing to the side, turned around and left without saying hello.
Watching Shen Jinmo's departing figure.
Zhou Zhengting understood: "He's truly my son, he's a real asset."
Before leaving, he patted Ruan Jizhou on the shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Let's set a time for my future daughter-in-law to come over for a meal."
Ruan Jizhou didn't want his elders to interfere with his relationship progress, so although he was displeased, he still agreed.
After seeing Zhou's father off, Lu Zhiwei's phone rang.
It was the police station that called her.
As soon as she finished the call, Lu Zhiwei was about to leave.
"You need to rest. Where are you going?" Ruan Jizhou grabbed her arm and took the car keys from her hand.
"Go to the police station to bail him out. Jiang Zhan got into a fight," Lu Zhiwei said urgently.
“Why do you have to shoulder everything yourself? Don’t forget you’re pregnant. I already got scolded by the doctor, and I don’t want to be scolded a second time. I’ll take you home, and I’ll pick up the person from the police station for you.” Ruan Jizhou held her car keys and pulled her into the elevator.
Lu Zhiwei never expected Ruan Jizhou to have such a strong side.
Obediently, she followed his advice and got into the car to return to the Lu family home.
When Ruan Jizhou arrived at the police station, the police needed to verify his and Jiang Zhan's identities.
Ruan Jizhou was hesitating about how to start the conversation.
Jiang Zhan was the first to tell the police, "He is my brother-in-law, my own brother-in-law. It's perfectly fine for him to take me back."
After signing the papers, I left the police station.
I got into Ruan Jizhou's car.
Ruan Jizhou asked him, "Why did you fight?"
"Because those bastards insulted my sister, I swore I would protect her for the rest of my life, and I will keep my promise." Jiang Zhan leaned back in the soft chair, his face disfigured by the injuries.
“You’re a real man. Congratulations. You have the same goal as me.” Ruan Jizhou held the steering wheel with one hand and made a fist with the other, offering it to Jiang Zhan.
Jiang Zhan immediately understood, and bumped fists with him: "As expected of the brother-in-law I chose."
After Lu Zhiwei returned to the Lu family villa.
I went upstairs to take a shower first, and then lay down on the bed to rest in my pajamas.
But Lu Zhiwei was not sleepy at all.
Ding-dong.
Anyang sent her a WeChat message: "[Sister Wei, this is the invitation to this year's charity auction gala. Mr. Lu attends every year, and you can't refuse this year.]"
Lu Zhiwei sat up in bed.
Rest is impossible.
Let her work herself to death.
Upon opening the invitation, Lu Zhiwei saw on the back a proposal for anonymous, gratuitous donations of auction items.
All residents of Yunzhou are welcome to donate items to the charity auction, with all proceeds going to charities and disaster-stricken areas.
She remembered that the Shen family was always a key invitee to the charity auction every year, and the old lady Shen Jinmo, Shen Jiarui, and Shen Shuyuan would almost always attend the banquet to support the charity.
If you want to test whether Shen Shuyuan knows how to do makeup, you might find a breakthrough here.
Lu Zhiwei made a phone call to Luo Wuyan.
The call was answered quickly.
"Boss, you were looking for me?"
"Donate the ghost mask I made to a charity auction," Lu Zhiwei instructed Luo Wuyan.
Upon hearing this order on the other end of the phone, Luo Wuyan immediately slammed down the paintbrush in her hand: "Are you crazy? This is your most precious masterpiece. Back then, countless masters abroad offered high prices to buy it, but you refused. Now you're telling me you're donating it? Have you even decided to donate your brain too?"
After being teased by Luo Wuyan, Lu Zhiwei coughed lightly and said, "Don't get excited. I just want to see how much my work is worth."
"Are you sure? Won't you feel bad about it?" Luo Wuyan asked her repeatedly.
Although she had no power to influence Lu Zhiwei's decisions, she would stand by her side without hesitation most of the time.
She had witnessed firsthand how the mask was made and knew how valuable it was.
This is a little ghost mask that features auspicious symbols from more than a dozen countries; it is used to ward off evil spirits.
But that's not what makes this mask unique.
Rather, this mask has a hidden function and secret that is unknown to outsiders.
When painting a mask, facial features need to be refined using techniques...
"No, not at all," Lu Zhiwei said with a smile.
"Okay, we'll do it your way."
After hanging up the phone with Luo Wuyan.
Lu Zhiwei posted a message on her WeChat Moments, choosing to make it visible only to Shen Jinmo.
I desperately want this mask to ward off evil spirits; Mercury is in retrograde lately, and I've been dreaming about it.
An image was also attached below the text.
Lu Zhiwei never asked Shen Jinmo for anything.
This is also why Shen Jinmo felt that Lu Zhiwei was difficult to pursue.
She had no need for it, so he naturally had no way to proceed.
Shen Jinmo, who was lying in a hospital bed, suddenly perked up when she saw this post on WeChat Moments.
Shen Jinmo was unaware that this friend message was only visible to him.
She thought that rather than letting other men satisfy her...
Why not hurry up and help her achieve her wish before other men do?
