151 Upper-Class Families (2/2)
”If you refuse,” continued Lu Shen, as if Nian Zhen didn't speak, ”I will immediately contact Yan to start the hostile takeover.”
Hui Yin gritted her teeth. She shot a worried glance at Jiang Xu, but Lu Shen caught her chin and forced her to look at him.
”Don't stare at other men, only look at me!” he said angrily.
Lu Shen was just using Nian Zhen as a bait in the first place. Now that his own emotions destroyed his plans, it was better if Xiao Yin stayed close to him so that he could protect her better. He didn't want to experience the same overwhelming jealousy he felt when he saw her being close to another man. Lu Shen hadn't seen the kiss, but even the close interaction between the two of them had smashed his rationality into pieces.
Hui Yin's body nearly exploded with anger. So unreasonable! Lu Shen was indeed the Great Dragon King, but in terms of childishness, he was even more majestic!
”Wifey, you don't have to listen to him!” Jiang Xu struggled more fiercely against his captors.
Hui Yin heard the sound of Jiang Xu struggling and wanted to look, but Lu Shen was preventing her from doing that.
”I told you to let him go!”
”I'll let him go once you come with me.”
Lu Shen hated seeing her being so concerned with another man. He decided that after Xiao Yin came with him, he would give the Jiang elders a little reminder that their oldest son was now in the right age to marry. Lu Shen understood the characters of the upper-class families in Beijing. He was fortunate because he could fight against his parents and make his own decisions, but other heirs didn't have that opportunity.
Even if Xiao Yin dated Jiang Xu, she would still face alienation against his parents. The old madam of the Jiangs might be easygoing on the surface, but she was a fierce tigress when it came to her sons. As Jiang Xu was the eldest, she would seriously consider his future prospects. If Lu Shen introduced some promising young ladies to Mrs. Jiang, she would certainly not refuse.
It would actually be easier for Lu Shen if he simply told her that her son was interested in Xiao Yin, but he didn't want to her to go through that hell again. He had learned from Du Peng what his parents had said to Xiao Yin when they broke off the engagement, and this was already when his parents were aware that it might anger Lu Shen and reduce their company shares.
If Mrs. Jiang were to learn of her son's relationship with an actress, who knows what her reaction might be. In the end, all upper-class families were the same.
The contempt Lu Shen held for Jiang Xu became even more disdainful. He couldn't even fight against him, so what merits did he have to make a move on Xiao Yin?
