A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu Chapter 701 - Someone Else Will Pay the Price for Your Willfulness

Chapter 701 Someone Else Will Pay the Price for Your Willfulness

Shen Yuechuan nodded and asked the driver to get Lin Zhixia a taxi. After that, he also hopped into the car and left.

“Special a.s.sistant Shen, you finished breakfast so quickly,” the driver said in a gossipy tone, “it’s not too busy this morning. You don’t have to rush to the company. Why don’t you take your time eating?”

“They still have something to do,” Shen Yuechuan replied lightly.

It was obvious that Shen Yuechuan was not in a good mood. The driver didn’t dare to say anything more and simply concentrated on driving.

The road was not too congested, so they made good time. Shen Yuechuan looked at the scenery whipping past on both sides of the road, his heart in a mess.

Xiao Yunyun’s ability to act shamelessly was beyond his imagination.

Did he have to hurt her so badly so that she would be brokenhearted and give up on him in the end?

What Shen Yuechuan didn’t know was that at this moment, Xiao Yunyun was very sad.

For the first time, she hated Shen Yuechuan so much.

Even though he knew that she liked him and that she was jealous of Lin Zhixia, he had still dared to say that she had hurt Lin.

“He’s just a b.a.s.t.a.r.d who can’t tell right from wrong. Have I done anything wrong yet?”

Shen Yuechuan was treating her like this because he wanted her to hate him and give up on him, wasn’t he?

Well, fine then! She decided that she would continue to like Shen Yuechuan!

At the very least, Shen Yuechuan had to know that she was sad. He should know that she was no longer what she had been because of him.

At noon, Lin Zhixia came to Xiao Yunyun’s office and invited her to lunch.

“Sorry,” Xiao Yunyun said, “I already had lunch with my colleagues. You should hurry up and go. The braised pork ribs will sell out soon.”

“Have you really had lunch?” Lin Zhixia didn’t seem to believe her. She came close and asked softly, “Yunyun, are you still angry with your brother?”

Xiao Yunyun turned her head away. “Don’t mention him.”

The reason why she was rejecting Lin Zhixia was that she didn’t want to hear her mention Shen Yuechuan.

Every time she heard Lin Zhixia say the name Shen Yuechuan, she was reminded that Shen Yuechuan belonged to Lin Zhixia.

It was too hard for her. She didn’t want to face such a cruel fact…

“Okay,” Lin Zhixia then said very gently, “after dinner, I’m going to the buy some drinks from the cafe across the street. Would you like anything to drink or eat?”

Xiao Yunyun replied. “I’m on a diet.”

“Do you really need to lose weight when you’re so thin?” Lin Zhixia was surprised, but she didn’t take it seriously. She just smiled and said, “If you change your mind, drop me a message.”

Xiao Yunyun nodded. “Okay.”

Watching Lin Zhixia walk out of the office, Xiao Yunyun turned to her colleague. “Bring me some takeout, please.”

Her colleague teased. “Haven’t you already had a meal with us?”

“You know I was lying,” Xiao Yunyun said bluntly, “don’t spill the beans. Also, remember to bring me food.”

“Tell us the truth.” Several colleagues surrounded Xiao Yunyun. “Why do you suddenly dislike Lin Zhixia so much? Is your brother going to break up with her?”

Xiao Yunyun held her chin with one hand and looked at the group of colleagues leisurely. “Do you want Lin Zhixia to break up with my brother?”

“Of course we do!” her colleagues said excitedly, “if your brother breaks up with Lin Zhixia, we’ll have a chance!”

Xiao Yunyun nodded in strong agreement.

If Shen Yuechuan broke up with Lin Zhixia, she would also have a chance.

It was a pity that she couldn’t split Shen Yuechuan and Lin Zhixia up now, she could only stop them from getting engaged.

After work, Xiao Yunyun went straight back to Shen Yuechuan’s apartment, only to find that the security guard who should have been on duty was not in the lobby. It seemed that he had been replaced.

Xiao Yunyun asked curiously, “Uncle, did you switch s.h.i.+fts today?”

“Well, no,” the middle-aged man said, “I’m a newcomer.”

Xiao Yunyun suddenly had a bad feeling. “Where’s the usual guy on late duty?”

“Oh, that guy?” The security guard shook his head and said, “He did a good job, but I heard that he let a girl in without permission, disturbed an owner, and was then complained about, so he was fired.”

Xiao Yunyun was thoroughly shocked.

Last night, she had blagged Shen Yuechuan’s door card from the previous security guard, and she had felt that she was being very smart.

Later, Shen Yuechuan hadn’t said anything. She had thought that it meant that Shen Yuechuan had acquiesced to her taking his house’s door card.

However, why would he complain to the property company and get the security guard fired?

He hadn’t exposed her. Instead, he had made things difficult for a security guard so that she would feel guilty?

“Jerk!”

Xiao Yunyun rushed into the elevator. When she got back to the apartment, she found that Shen Yuechuan had not gotten off work yet, so she called him directly.

The phone rang twice, and soon it was answered. Xiao Yunyun roared. “Shen Yuechuan, why would you complain to the property company about that security guard? What do you mean by doing this?”

“I’m the owner. The security guard failed to fulfill his duty. It’s only natural that I complain about him.” Shen Yuechuan then asked indifferently, “Is there any problem?”

“You…” Xiao Yunyun was exasperated. She could only curse him to vent her anger. “Shen Yuechuan, you’re a jerk! If you want, you can target me. What’s the point of making things difficult for a security guard?”

“How could I target you?” Shen Yuechuan sneered. “I’m responsible for taking care of you. Of course, I can’t make you feel wronged, so someone else has to pay the price for your willfulness.”

Xiao Yunyun opened her mouth, but suddenly realized that in this case, no matter how angry she was and how badly she scolded him, it wouldn’t affect Shen Yuechuan at all.

In terms of hard power, she was no match for him at all.

She simply hung up the phone and slumped down on the sofa.

Yes, she had to stop him from getting engaged to Lin Zhixia. She also knew that she was crazy and her behavior was out of control.

But she had never thought of making an innocent person pay for her madness.

Shen Yuechuan had calculated his move correctly, hadn’t he?

He knew her and knew that his harsh words could not hurt her, but he also knew that she could not bear to hurt innocent people.

He was forcing her to give up.

“What a jerk!”

It was in Lu Enterprises.

At six o’clock in the evening, almost all the people in the company were gone, and only a few departments were still working overtime.

After finis.h.i.+ng his work, Shen Yuechuan left the company as usual.

The difference was that as he walked out of the gate on this day, a familiar voice stopped him. “Mr. Shen.”

Shen Yuechuan walked over and took a cigarette from the security guard.

“It doesn’t taste good, and it can barely be smoked.” The security guard smiled. “If you get used to it, I’ll light it for you.”

“Thank you.”

Shen Yuechuan held the cigarette in his mouth and took a deep drag before exhaling the smoke. “How does it feel to work here?” he asked.

“Okay!” the security guard said straightforwardly, “the treatment at the apartment was good, but it’s better here! The staff dormitory is even more clean and comfortable here. The best thing is that there is a staff canteen that provides healthy and delicious grub. I don’t have to eat fast food anymore!”

Shen Yuechuan smiled. “It’s good that you’re getting used to it. I’m off now.”

“Well, okay.” The security guard waved at Shen Yuechuan. “Thank you for providing me with a better life.”

After getting in the car, the driver teased Shen Yuechuan. “It’s common for big companies to poach talents, but it’s the first time I’ve heard of a company poaching a security guard, let alone the president’s special a.s.sistant handling it in person. Special a.s.sistant Shen, does this security guard have some special psychic powers that will ensure the safety of Lu Enterprises?”

To cooperate with the driver’s teasing, Shen Yuechuan paused before saying, “Drive to the hospital.”

“Is there still something to deal with there?” Shen Yuechuan had been going to the hospital a lot recently. The driver was already used to it and started the car directly.

As usual, Shen Yuechuan didn’t stay in the hospital for long. In his words, he would leave as soon as he had finished his business.

Before setting off, the driver asked as usual, “It’s getting late. Since you don’t have any social appointments, shall I take you home?”

Shen Yuechuan didn’t reply immediately. After a while, he said, “Let’s go to the Garden Hotel.”

“… Okay.”

Upon arrival at the Garden Hotel, Shen Yuechuan instructed the driver to come back and pick him up the next morning.

The driver already understood. He nodded and left the hotel.

Shen Yuechuan was an adult man, and he had a beautiful and gentle girlfriend. It was obvious what he his intentions were in going to the hotel now. It would be strange for him to go back to the apartment!

At the same time, Xiao Yunyun, who was far away in the apartment, was still waiting for Shen Yuechuan to come back.

Just like last night, even when she was dozing off, Shen Yuechuan was still nowhere to be seen.

“He must be working overtime again.”

Xiao Yunyun felt a little cold. She went back to the bedroom and got out a blanket. She wrapped herself up in the blanket, curled up on the sofa, and turned on the TV, trying to keep herself awake with a variety show full of funny lines.

As it turned out, she had been too optimistic. After less than half an hour, she fell asleep on the sofa.

In the past, Xiao Yunyun would usually have slept until dawn, but this time, maybe because she remembered that Shen Yuechuan had not come back yet, she suddenly woke up at about two o’clock in the morning. She abruptly sat up from the sofa and shouted, “Shen Yuechuan!”

“…”

The only response to Xiao Yunyun was the sound of TV advertis.e.m.e.nts.

“Hasn’t Shen Yuechuan come back yet?

“Or has he lost faith in me after last night?”

Xiao Yunyun pushed open the door of the study and tentatively called for Shen Yuechuan again. Receiving no response, she had to turn on the light.

Everything in the study was in order, but Shen Yuechuan was nowhere to be seen.

Xiao Yunyun searched the whole apartment again. Finally, she was sure that he had not come back yet.

Lu Boyan had begun to work normally. No matter how busy Shen Yuechuan was, he would not be so busy that he was not going to return home.

Xiao Yunyun suddenly thought of something, and she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. But she still decided to call Shen Yuechuan with a glimmer of hope.

She grabbed her phone and silently prayed that he would pick up, and that he would not be with Lin Zhixia. “Shen Yuechuan, you must pick up the phone…”

“h.e.l.lo, the subscriber you dialed is power off.”

The last method that Xiao Yunyun had to find Shen Yuechuan was calling him.

But now it seemed that this wouldn’t work. His phone was turned off.

Xiao Yunyun didn’t try to call him again. She put down the phone, curled up on the sofa, and hugged herself.

“How can I comfort myself?

“Shall I tell myself that Shen Yuechuan is a normal man, and Lin Zhixia is his girlfriend, so it’s normal for them to spend the night together?”

However, as soon as she imagined Shen Yuechuan and Lin Zhixia hugging and kissing each other, she felt like she was about to collapse.

Xiao Yunyun put her chin on her knees and hugged herself tighter.

Even if she knew that something was not only normal, but was inevitably going to happen, she still could not accept it.

She was so greedy.

She wished that Shen Yuechuan would belong to her, only her.

She was getting more and more jealous of Lin Zhixia. But what could she do?

It was half past two in the morning. There were still four hours until dawn, but Xiao Yunyun was suffering from insomnia again and couldn’t fall asleep…
