82 Being Ignored (2/2)

Hui Yin frowned when she heard that. From Nian Zhen's invitation, she thought that Lu Shen had already agreed. But judging by his words, he didn't plan on coming to the party at all. In her previous life, Lu Shen wasn't there when Nian Zhen had invited her because Hui Yin wasn't living in his villa then.

So she took it for granted that he wanted to go to the party as well. But Hui Yin realized that Nian Zhen hadn't explicitly stated that Lu Shen wanted to come to the party.

Was she the only one who interpreted it that way?

Lu Shen glanced back at her.

”Get dressed. We're going out.”

Hui Yin was still lost in her thoughts, so she was a bit dazed. ”Huh?”

He arched an eyebrow at her. ”Didn't you say I'm ignoring you? Then let's go out and spend time together, so that I'd have to look at your face than a digital screen.”

”...”

”I thought you wanted us to 'spend time together'? Aren't you excited?”

”...”

Hui Yin felt that businessmen were really ruthless, using the tiniest negligence to squeeze you for what you're worth. No wonder that when you open your door just to get a breath of fresh air, you come back home with a new set of encyclopedias instead.

But there was one other person aside from Hui Yin who was having a hard time at that moment.

Nian Zhen had frozen on the sofa, feeling as if her entire face had been slapped. That trash had acted pitifully and asked Lu Shen if he was ignoring her, but the one whom he had been ignoring was her instead. He even asked her to leave.

Nian Zhen gripped her purse tighter, trying to think through her humiliation. She couldn't lose her composure here. No matter how that slut deceived Brother Shen, Nian Zhen couldn't let her destroy the image she had in front of him. Not to mention that she was quickly running out of time.

The Lus wanted the best for Lu Shen, but weren't the Nians like that as well? They wanted the best for her too. And although her parents had been eyeing Lu Shen from the start, and they were good friends with the Lus, it could not be denied that Lu Shen had chosen a fiancée that was not Nian Zhen.

Her parents were deeply angered that Lu Shen had ignored their good intentions and made such an important decision by himself, which made their precious daughter become a substitute even if Lu Shen's engagement got canceled.

Nian Zhen needed to quickly resolve this, and to do that, she needed to weed out the trash that was slowly corrupting her Brother Shen.
