Normally, although Lu Jiayan is older than Ling Shen, Ling Shen's aura is not to be underestimated. As long as Ling Shen's expression is not right, Lu Jiayan will be intimidated.
But things are different now. Lu Jiayan has leverage over Lu Jiayan, and he's not afraid of anything.
Despite Ling Shen's threat, Lu Jiayan remained calm and composed.
“The price is clearly stated, and we do things for money. If Mr. Ling doesn’t want to do this business, I won’t force him.”
Ling Shen, thousands of miles away, clenched his teeth, feeling like he had raised an ungrateful wretch. He thought that when he got back, he would definitely teach him a lesson.
However, Ling Shen couldn't swallow his anger any longer, and after careful consideration, he agreed to Lu Jiayan's conditions.
Lu Jiayan was naturally happy to receive a raise. Although he was a scoundrel who always took advantage of his own boss, he also had one redeeming quality: he would do good things once he got paid.
Ling Shen is building a swimming pool for the school, and construction has recently begun. He's very busy with all sorts of things, big and small. Since Ling Shen isn't around, Lu Jiayan has to go and keep an eye on things.
So in the following days, after Lu Jiayan finished reviewing the work at the construction site wearing a safety helmet, he went to the office to tidy up his appearance before going to find Qian Sui.
Qian Sui didn't think it was a big deal. After all, Lu Jiayan had a job at the school, and she and he were friends, so there was nothing wrong with hanging out together.
Kolo Crescent felt uncomfortable.
Lu Jiayan was Ling Shen's man. As soon as Luo Xinyue saw him, she was reminded of Ling Shen. In the sweltering heat of summer, she couldn't help but shiver when she thought of Ling Shen's face.
On Monday noon, Lu Jiayan brought some snacks to see Qian Sui.
Qian Sui told Lu Jiayan via WeChat that she was in the cafeteria, and Lu Jiayan came looking for her.
When Luo Xinyue saw Lu Jiayan, her lips twitched slightly. While Lu Jiayan went to get food, Luo Xinyue leaned close to Lu Jiayan's ear and said, "Why did you call him here?"
Qian Sui picked a piece of meat out of her bowl and put it into Luo Xinyue's bowl, then said, "He said he's all alone at school, and no one eats with him. It's so pitiful."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xinyue wanted to roll her eyes.
Feigning helplessness and playing dumb to outsmart others—Ling Shen and Lu Jiayan both used this tactic with unparalleled skill.
Earlier at school, some people were unconvinced by Ling Shen and went up to tease him. Ling Shen said that he was a noob and beat them up until they ran away.
Gradually, Ling Shen's reputation spread throughout the school. When the principal inquired about Ling Shen's situation, Ling Shen said, "I just came back from a small city. They may not like me very much, but I think I can handle it."
Luo Xinyue witnessed Ling Shen defeating those people and then saw Ling Shen feigning innocence in front of the principal.
She inexplicably worried that she would be silenced because she knew too much.
Luo Xinyue couldn't quite understand it, but since Qian Sui had said so, she could only accept it.
Although the other party was Ling Shen's person, it wasn't Ling Shen himself, so she could still handle it.
Lu Jiayan appeared beside Qian Sui, much to the surprise of the people coming and going in the cafeteria.
Passersby all looked over, glancing at Qian Sui and then at Luo Xinyue, and felt relieved.
Thinking to himself: Lu Jiayan must have come to see Luo Xinyue. After all, Luo Xinyue is the principal's daughter. Otherwise, how could she possibly have a relationship with Qian Sui, this country bumpkin?
Chisui didn't have a very happy weekend. She stayed in her study reading and writing, and it was only when she was reading and writing that she could calm down.
Now that she's at school, surrounded by noise and having to see the faces of Shang Anqi and her ilk, Qian Sui's temper is starting to get the better of her.
The emperor is very expressive, and when he is unhappy, he wears all his emotions on his face.
She kept her head down and ate her meal silently. Lu Jiayan noticed and asked, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Qian Sui glanced at Lu Jiayan, secretly wanting to ask why Ling Shen had deleted her WeChat, but she swallowed the question after it got stuck in her throat.
Qian Sui shook her head: "I'm fine."
Luo Xinyue and Lu Jiayan looked at each other, wondering how things could possibly be alright.
Luo Xinyue's first reaction was, could it be that Shang Anqi went to cause trouble for Qian Sui again over the weekend?
Just as I was about to ask, I caught a glimpse of Zhang Shaochuan walking over with a few friends not far away.
Qian Sui and Lu Jiayan were facing Luo Xinyue. Zhang Shaochuan and the others were walking from behind Qian Sui and Lu Jiayan, so they didn't see him.
When Zhang Shaochuan saw Luo Xinyue looking at him, he made a shushing gesture and then turned his gaze to Qian Sui.
But when she saw a man sitting next to Chitose, she frowned in displeasure.
In Zhang Shaochuan's mind, Qian Sui was his little brother. He had wanted to have dinner with Qian Sui before, but Qian Sui had refused. Now this man was actually sitting next to Qian Sui!
How could Zhang Shaochuan tolerate this?
He only had eyes for Qian Sui, so he didn't notice Luo Xinyue's expression telling him to hurry up and leave.
He walked over with a group of people, extremely arrogant. He patted Lu Jiayan on the back with one hand, then turned to look at Qian Sui and said, "Little Qian Sui, are you eating?"
Chitose was deep in thought when he suddenly appeared, startling her.
She turned her head: "Why are you here?"
Zhang Shaochuan said, "The cafeteria belongs to the school. I came here to eat because I was hungry. On the contrary, what are you eating with some random guy here?"
Zhang Shaochuan patted Lu Jiayan's shoulder, but his eyes were fixed on Qian Sui, so he didn't notice who the man he was patting was.
After he said that, Lu Jiayan finally couldn't help but clear his throat and then removed Zhang Shaochuan's hand from his shoulder.
