Chapter 460 The Problematic Baby VS The Arrogant Guy Who Loves to Ask Questions 12
Lu Jingxun stared at the bracelet for a while, his expression unreadable.
As the nanny brought over tea and was about to turn away, she caught a glimpse of the bracelet in the gap between the sofa and bent down to pick it up.
She looked at Lu Jingxun with a puzzled expression, "Young Master, there's a bracelet here..."
The nanny wants to know what to do with this item.
It looks like something only young girls would like, but how did such a thing suddenly appear in the room?
Lu Jingxun didn't look up, his gaze fixed on the open book in his hand. He parted his thin lips slightly, his voice low and calm: "Just put it there."
This kind of deliberate behavior is so childish it's almost laughable.
Those who approached him with ill intentions in the past used far more sophisticated methods than this.
Such tricks are no match for him.
So you're trying to seduce him?
Lu Jingxun sneered inwardly, a barely perceptible hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
Such things are not worth his attention, nor do he have time to care.
But life here is too boring; we have to find some fun.
He then instructed, "Tell the security guards that if anyone from next door comes over, they don't need to stop them."
...
The following evening.
Jiang Zhiyi was preparing to take a shower on the rooftop.
The shower tent has been set up; it took Jiang Liang several afternoons to complete it.
The curtain was made from old sofa fabric that had been washed many times. The fabric had turned slightly white, but the cute little cat pattern on it was still clearly visible.
The kitten opened its round eyes, and its whiskers stood up high, as if it were giving people a playful smile.
It's quite interesting that it's hanging on this simple bathhouse; it adds a unique touch of warmth.
Actually, it didn't have to be so complicated. Jiang Liangcai and Wang Huilan had to work at night, so they took showers very late. The water they had dried in the sun had long since cooled down, so they just boiled water to wash themselves. This shower shed was only used by her.
Her original words were that it was just something to put together casually, as long as it was usable, but Jiang Liangcai took it very seriously and put a lot of effort into it.
Seeing the elaborately decorated shower stall, it would be a lie to say I didn't like it.
Jiang Zhiyi's mood improved considerably, and she hummed a cheerful tune while taking a shower.
After taking a shower, Jiang Zhiyi changed into a clean and refreshing outfit. Suddenly, the bracelet that she had deliberately left at the Lu family's house flashed through her mind.
Using the excuse of looking for the bracelet, she went to the Lu family's house.
She was thinking of saying hello to the security guard, but to her surprise, the guard let her through directly and even smiled at her in a friendly manner.
Jiang Zhiyi didn't think much of it and continued walking inside.
As soon as Jiang Zhiyi entered the Lu family's living room, she immediately saw Lu Jingxun sitting upright on the sofa, intently reading a book.
The light was not very good in the evening, so the lights were already on inside.
The soft light from the ceiling bathed him, outlining his handsome features.
Although Lu Jingxun's personality is usually somewhat unpredictable, and even unfriendly, seeing him engrossed in reading, Jiang Zhiyi couldn't help but feel a bit fond of his love for reading.
I've come here several times, and almost every time I've seen him reading a book.
He's actually quite good at that.
"What are you doing here?" Lu Jing asked.
He had already guessed it in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
Jiang Zhiyi said, "I lost something a few days ago. I searched many places in the village but couldn't find it. Now, this is the only place I haven't looked..."
She explained for a few minutes, then asked, "It's a bracelet. Have you seen it before?"
Lu Jingxun didn't answer the question, but asked her, "Is this bracelet important?"
Jiang Zhiyi continued, following his words: "It's very important, I really like it. I want to find it. It would be such a pity if it were lost..."
She then feigned disappointment, as if she had lost a great treasure.
Lu Jingxun gave the order, and the nanny immediately turned around and went to the room to get the bracelet.
The nanny bent down slightly, held the bracelet in both hands, and handed it to Lu Jingxun.
Lu Jingxun turned to the side, casually reaching out with one hand. His long, strong fingers with distinct knuckles hooked the bracelet.
He hadn't really looked at this thing before, and only now did he take a closer look.
After seeing the bracelet's material, his brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.
Sure enough, it was a very cheap bracelet.
The plastic beads were dull and lackluster, and the metal fittings at the joints also felt rough.
In this luxurious Lu family mansion, even hanging it in some corner as a simple decoration would seem out of place and cheap, let alone wearing it.
Lu Jingxun looked up at Jiang Zhiyi, his voice carrying a hint of nonchalance: "Yours?"
Jiang Zhiyi was looking him over when she suddenly heard this question. She was stunned for a moment, then nodded subconsciously.
Lu Jingxun's lips curled into a cryptic smile.
With a light, careless flick of his fingers, the bracelet instantly lost its support and slipped down with a "snap," as if he had thrown away not a bracelet, but some disgusting piece of trash.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Jingxun spoke again.
This time, he leaned forward slightly, his gaze fixed on Jiang Zhiyi, and his voice lowered considerably, carrying a deliberately created ambiguity: "Do you like coming to see me?"
At first glance, this sounds more like a veiled question: "Do you like me?"
Jiang Zhiyi was somewhat at a loss due to his inexplicable question and ambiguous tone. Unable to figure out his current intentions, she could only purse her lips and remain silent for the time being.
Seeing that she remained silent, Lu Jingxun still wore that ambiguous smile on his face, and spoke again, his words carrying a hint of mockery: "None of the servants in the Lu family wear these."
Jiang Zhiyi subconsciously looked down at the bracelet that had fallen to the ground.
After all, it was just a cheap item she bought for two yuan at a street stall, so the quality was indeed a bit poor.
Moreover, with his fall, a fake diamond fell out and rolled to the side.
Jiang Zhiyi's eyes widened as she reached out to pick it up, saying angrily as she did so, "Fine, don't wear it if you don't want to, but you can't just throw it around like that! Look, you've broken it!"
Lu Jingxun frowned, displeased with her accusatory tone.
Is something like this, if it breaks, it breaks? Is it really that important?
Is she blaming him?
Jiang Zhiyi has now realized that he had seen through her intentions long ago, and that today's incident was deliberately designed to embarrass her.
She decided to change tactics and started speaking more aggressively: "This bracelet has a story, it's not an ordinary bracelet! I met a master before, and this is what I got from him. It can protect you and bring you good fortune in marriage. It cost me 50,000 yuan!"
She originally wanted to say 100,000 yuan, but felt that was too exaggerated and that Lu Jingxun might not be willing to pay. However, she felt that saying only 10,000 yuan was a little too little, so she compromised and said 50,000 yuan.
Since the bracelet is already broken, he will definitely compensate for it.
She took the opportunity to extort money from him.
"Pay up!" She looked at him with her big, watery eyes, demanding compensation with an air of self-righteousness.
