Chapter 31 Come on, let's hurt each other However, her work ability was far superior to his. As a man, being outdone by a woman was a huge blow to his self-esteem. He felt that what could a woman do with such a high level of ability? In the end, she would still stay at home to take care of her husband and children.

But he couldn't say it, for fear of upsetting her and making her stop helping him. His father would definitely be disappointed when he knew his ability. So in order to vent his anger, he started looking for women again. At first, he didn't dare to look for women in the city, and mostly used work relationships to go to other places to play.

Until Lin Chuchu appeared, he felt that a well-behaved and gentle woman like her was what he wanted. Firstly, it was because of his love for Lin Chuchu, and secondly, he was indignant that Zhang Yue crushed him at work, which made him want to take a little revenge on her, so he and Lin Chuchu developed later.

Now that the incident has happened and his affairs have been exposed, he wishes he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into, so that he never has to hear what these people say again, or see their accusing eyes.

It's a pity that there is no crack in the ground for him to crawl into.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and stare at Zhang Yue in public, gritting his teeth and saying, "Zhang Yue, don't go too far."

"I'm overdoing it?" Zhang Yue pointed at herself and stared at him with wide eyes. Seeing his expression as if he wanted to eat her up, she was not afraid but laughed. "You did something wrong to me, and you still say that I'm narrow-minded and can't tolerate others. Why don't you say that you're overdoing it and bullying others too much?"

Also, in my previous life, you two took advantage of me and then chopped me up to feed the zombies. I haven't settled that account with you yet, and you actually say I'm going too far?

Don't think that if we had a chance to do it again, I would let you go because you haven't treated me like that before.

But there is no rush for this matter now. I will settle it with you bit by bit later.

She continued, "Actually, do you know that if I really couldn't tolerate others, I would have gone to your father when this happened and asked him to give me an explanation. How could I allow you to come and make trouble in front of me now?"

"But you have no self-awareness, and that's fine. I just told you that I have nothing to say to you and asked you to leave, but you refused to listen and insisted on picking a fight with me. Since you want to come to my door to be humiliated by me, why should I hide it for you?"

"I'm telling you, if you're right you can go anywhere, but if you're wrong you can't go anywhere. Don't think that just because you're a man I'll be scared if you speak louder. You want to make life difficult for me, right? Then come on, let's hurt each other, I want to see who can hurt whom in the end."

Lu Zifeng was once again speechless.

Even if he had something to say, as long as he dared to say one word, Zhang Yue would have ten words waiting for him. The hatred from her previous life and the resentment from this life made her feel so upset that she couldn't help but speak out, so she exploded tonight.

After venting a lot, I felt much better. Seeing Lu Zifeng unable to refute what I said, his face turned pale and then blue, blue and then pale, which was very exciting, I smiled happily in my heart.

You little brat, you can't resist just like that? Zhang Yue rolled his eyes at him with disdain and added, "What? Dare to do it but not take responsibility? You're a man, but you don't even have this little bit of responsibility!"

"you......"

Lu Zifeng didn't say a word before he was once again trembling all over due to her anger. He covered his chest and took several steps back before he could stand firm.

Vulnerable! Zhang Yue shook her head, not wanting to pay attention to him anymore, and turned to look at Lin Chuchu who had been standing there without saying anything. She could see that Lin Chuchu's apology was fake, and her real purpose was actually the space jade bracelet.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 32 Lin Chuchu wants to buy a jade bracelet

Lin Chuchu didn't expect Zhang Yue to be so eloquent, nor did she expect her to be so bold as to tell everything.

In her opinion, although it was immoral for her and Lu Zifeng to betray her, and it would be embarrassing to speak it out, it happened in her home and under her nose. If she told it out, wouldn't she appear useless and embarrassing in the eyes of outsiders? Don't wealthy families keep such things secret and don't want outsiders to know?

Why did she say it out loud in front of so many people? Wasn't she afraid of being embarrassed herself?

However, how could she know that for Zhang Yue, when the end of the world comes, it is unknown how many of the people here who know about this will be able to survive. Even if they all survived, who will have the time to care about these things in the future?

If Zhang Yue knew what she was thinking, he would only reply to her, "You think too much."

I've strayed a bit off topic, let's get back to the topic.

Seeing that things had developed to this point, even Lu Zifeng couldn't hold on. Lin Chuchu knew that she could not save her face again, but she couldn't give up on the jade bracelet.

She had searched for it at Zhang's house for a month but couldn't find it. Now she couldn't go back to Zhang's house, so she could only ask Zhang Yue for it.

But it is not so easy to get it from her, not to mention that the situation is so embarrassing and tense now.

Seeing Zhang Yue looking at her, she quickly adjusted herself, looking full of regret, biting her lip and said, "Zhang Yue, we are sorry for what happened between Zifeng and me, and I have already apologized to you just now. It's okay if you don't want to forgive us. But about the jade bracelet, that jade bracelet is really important to me, and you have so many jewelry, it doesn't matter if you lose one. If you don't want to give it to me, I will buy it with my own money. Is this okay?"

After saying that, he looked at her with a timid, aggrieved, yet expectant expression on his face.

She looked so pitiful that even the hardest heart would soften and no one would have the heart to reject her.

But Zhang Yue is not a man, and with the grudges from the past two lives added to the mix, he couldn't help but despise her when he saw her like this.

Are you pretending to be pitiful? Are you trying to gain sympathy? Unfortunately, I don't buy your tricks, okay? But since you want to act, I'll act with you, and then you'll know what good acting is.

She smiled and said, "Buy it from me? Lin Chuchu, are you kidding me? Not to mention whether your job will be ruined, with your salary, do you think you can afford the jade bracelet my mother left for me?"

Don't say you don't have money to buy it. Even if you have money and want to buy it, would I sell it to you? Besides, the jade bracelet has been used by me. Unless I die, you can't get it.

But she wouldn't tell anyone about it.

"I..." Lin Chuchu hesitated for a moment and looked at Lu Zifeng. Now she was not sure whether Lu Zifeng would help her, but in the end she gritted her teeth and blocked it. "I can borrow money from others to buy it from you."

"Borrow money to buy it from me? Lin Chuchu, don't say I'm laughing at you. How much money can you borrow? Ten thousand? Twenty thousand? Or a hundred thousand or several hundred thousand? Do you know how much my jade bracelet is worth? I'm afraid you can't afford it even if you borrow money."

When Zhang Yue spoke, she deliberately looked at her with contempt and disdain, acting like a proud and arrogant rich girl.

Lin Chuchu felt very uncomfortable and angry when she looked at her like that. The reason was that she hated seeing Zhang Yue's arrogant and proud look the most. She felt angry and uncomfortable, her eyes were red and tears were rolling in her eyes, she looked so pitiful that she wanted to cry but couldn't.

At the same time, it also seems that Zhang Yue is deliberately making things difficult for people.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 33 I bought it for her

Her appearance of being wronged and bullied successfully moved many men, making them forget what she had done before, and also successfully led Lu Zifeng to come out and speak for her.

"It's just a jade bracelet. How much is it? I bought it for her."

Lu Zifeng was so angry at being humiliated by Zhang Yue before that he wanted to take this opportunity to get back at Zhang Yue.

"Oh, you are so arrogant." Zhang Yue knew that he would stand up to speak for Lin Chuchu. Looking at his wealthy appearance, she did not feel unhappy but looked at him with a playful smile.

"You can buy it for her, but you should also know that 'gold has a price, jade is priceless'. Besides, the jade bracelet my mother left me is full of water and very transparent, and it belongs to SSS grade quality. Don't look at me with suspicion, thinking that I am talking nonsense. Ten years ago, my mother took it to an expert for appraisal, and there is a certificate with the expert's seal and signature."

Halfway through her speech, she saw Lu Zifeng looking at her with an expression that said, "I don't believe you, you're obviously talking nonsense to raise the price," so she interrupted her with this sentence.

"She's right. I saw it there ten years ago. I wanted to buy it from Mrs. Zhang then, but she refused to sell it." A middle-aged man in the crowd spoke up to help prove the point.

Seeing this, Lu Zifeng couldn't say no, and changed his disbelieving expression to an indifferent expression, thinking: No matter how expensive it is, it's just a jade bracelet, how much more expensive can it be? Zhang Yue looked at his father's money and fearless look and said nothing, but there was a hint of amusement in his eyes, and continued: "Based on the price of jadeite this year, my jade bracelet is worth 56 million. By next year, it may rise to 60 or 70 million. Lu Zifeng, are you sure you want to buy it?"

"What? So expensive! Why don't you just go and rob it?" Lu Zifeng was shocked by the price, and his voice couldn't help but rise when he spoke.

"Why should I rob? I'm not short of money. Besides, you know what kind of person my mother was before. The things she left for me are all good things, so naturally they are so expensive. If you think they are expensive, you don't have to buy them." Zhang Yue looked at him with a smile.

You can't afford it, right? You were so proud just now, but now your face turns pale when you know the price.

In fact, she knew that Lu Zifeng was not unable to afford it, but he just couldn't come up with so much money at the moment.

As early as half a year ago, her father acted as a gateway, and she went to negotiate with the Lu family and got four big projects for them.

Several projects are being carried out now, and the amount of each project is over 500 million yuan. His father has invested all the company's money into them. Now the projects have not been completed yet and the money has not been recovered. Currently, their company has only more than 100 million yuan in working capital to use.

More than 100 million seems like a lot, but the Lu family is big and has a lot of people to support. In addition to paying workers, the money has to be used to buy materials and for emergency reserves. If Lu Zifeng wants to take 56 million at once to buy a jade bracelet for Lin Chuchu? Lu Ming would probably break his legs if he knew.

Zhang Yue said this deliberately because he thought of this.

What she said was all right. Lu Zifeng was blocked by Zhang Yue's words and was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. He finally calmed down and looked at Lin Chuchu. Seeing that she was looking at him with expectation, he couldn't help feeling a little apologetic.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 34 Giving Away

He hesitated for a moment, and whispered to Lin Chuchu, "This price is indeed a bit expensive. I can't afford so much money right now. How about we not give it to her? I'll buy you a diamond necklace later. You will definitely like the shiny and bright one."

"But no matter how good my diamond necklace is, it is not as important to me as this jade bracelet. You will regret it if you don't buy it."

When she saw Lu Zifeng helping her, she thought she saw hope, but she was discouraged by Zhang Yue's words. Lin Chuchu was a little unhappy. But she still had to rely on him, so she didn't dare to express her dissatisfaction. She just pretended to be very sad and lowered her head, hoping that Lu Zifeng would see her disappointed look and agree to buy the jade bracelet back because of guilt.

However, she overestimated herself. Her expression did make Lu Zifeng feel guilty, but what she said made him feel that she was being pretentious and ignorant, so he frowned and kept silent.

Zhang Yue saw that the performance was almost complete and it was time to finish the last bit and wrap up the filming.

She smiled and said, "Actually, even if you want to buy it, it's too late. I gave it away yesterday."

When Lu Zifeng heard this, he glared at her angrily: Were you fucking kidding me just now?

"What, you gave it away? Who did you give it to?"

Lin Chuchu forgot to pretend to be pitiful after hearing this, staring at her with wide eyes, shouting in her heart: That is the jade bracelet the author wrote for me, how could you give it to someone else? If you want to give it away, it should be given to me.

Zhang Yue didn't know what she was shouting in her heart, nor was she afraid of Lu Zifeng's angry glare at her. She smiled and replied, "I gave it to the man Shen Ran who lives opposite me."

"You actually gave it to him! Why?" Lin Chuchu couldn't believe it.

"Because I like him and want to seduce him." Zhang Yue blinked and blurted out nonsense.

But her words conveyed a lot of information to everyone present.

If Shen Ran was famous in the army and feared by everyone, then his fame in Huicheng was equivalent to that of a king in the hearts of those who knew his name, and they were both afraid and respected.

As for the fact that no female creature would appear within one meter of him, everyone has naturally heard about it, and some people have even seen it with their own eyes.

Zhang Yue just said that she gave Shen Ran the jade bracelet her mother left her, and she wanted to seduce him! Isn't this courting death? So now everyone was stunned and stared at her.

But what everyone was more curious about was, after the jade bracelet was given away, did Shen Ran accept it?

When Lin Chuchu heard her answer, she was both angry and excited.

What made her angry was that she felt that she was the heroine and all the outstanding men in the book should belong to her, especially Shen Ran. How could Zhang Yue seduce her man?

She was excited because she had been suffering from not having the opportunity to get close to Shen Ran before. Now that she knew that the jade bracelet was in Shen Ran's hands, she had an excuse to get close to him. Moreover, she felt that it would be easier to get the jade bracelet in Shen Ran's hands than in Zhang Yue's hands. She was beautiful, charming, and had the aura of a heroine. When he met her, maybe he would give it to her directly without spending a penny.

Being able to get the jade bracelet and get close to Shen Ran is the best of both worlds. How could she not be excited?

Just as she was about to speak, she looked up and saw the man she longed for in her heart approaching from behind Zhang Yue. She immediately forgot what she was going to say, and her eyes were full of pink heart-shaped bubbles. She stared at Shen Ran who was standing behind Zhang Yue. She asked, "Shen Ran, Zhang Yue said she gave you a jade bracelet. Is that true?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 35 Broken

In her heart, Shen Ran was already her man, so when she asked, she directly blocked out the words Zhang Yue had just said about wanting to seduce Shen Ran.

At first, Zhang Yue found it strange that she suddenly turned into a fangirl when she clearly wanted to say something to her. However, when she heard Lin Chuchu calling out "Shen Ran", she was stunned for a moment, and then felt a chill on her back. When she looked back, her whole body froze and she stood still.

I was thinking fearfully in my heart, I got caught taking advantage of him this morning, and now he's caught in the act, is he here to settle the score with me?

What should I do? What should I do? However, Shen Ran stood behind her and did not do anything to her. He just glanced at her and then looked at Lin Chuchu, nodded and acknowledged her question.

He actually admitted it! Zhang Yue was stunned, staring at him blankly.

When Lin Chuchu saw that he responded to her, her blood boiled with excitement again.

I thought: Sure enough, the heroine's aura is still very big. When I called him yesterday, he didn't respond. It must be because he didn't see me. Now he is not only looking at me, but also responding to my questions. This is something that many women can't do. Now there are already many envious and jealous eyes staring at her.

She concealed her secret joy, raised what she thought was the sweetest and most beautiful smile, looked at him expectantly, and asked again, "Can you give me the jade bracelet? It's so important to me."

I-poof!

After hearing what she said, Zhang Yue forgot his fear and almost burst out laughing.

How thick-skinned does this person have to be to ask such a question? Or does she really think she is RMB, loved by everyone, driven by every car, and everyone who sees her has to give her something?

Zhang Yue only had these few words in her mind about her shamelessness: I am so damn convinced! Shen Ran didn't seem to think she was shameless. He just frowned slightly at her request, and then replied softly: "I'm sorry, I broke the jade bracelet."

Pu~, Pupupu~ Zhang Yue really burst out laughing in her heart this time, but she was too embarrassed to laugh out loud in front of everyone, otherwise wouldn't it be obvious to everyone that she was gloating.

Originally, she was thinking of giving the jade bracelet to Shen Ran. With his identity that no one dared to mess with, Lin Chuchu would not harass her again about the jade bracelet, nor would she dare to ask Shen Ran for it.

But she didn't expect Lin Chuchu to be so bold!!! She was so shameless!!! Not only did she dare to ask him for it, she also asked him to give it to her.

Tsk tsk tsk, it's true, if you have no shame, you are invincible.

However, she didn't expect Shen Ran to catch her on the spot and admit it. What she didn't expect was that he gave Lin Chuchu such a decisive answer. This simply cut off her idea of making the jade bracelet again.

Haha, Zhang Yue couldn't help but give Shen Ran a thumbs up in her heart. I admire him! Lin Chuchu originally had the sweetest and most beautiful smile on her face, but when she heard this answer, she froze and her smile disappeared. At this moment, she looked at Shen Ran in astonishment, unsure of the answer she heard, and murmured, "Broken...broken?"

Shen Ran nodded again, "Well, I didn't pay attention when I woke up in the morning, so I accidentally broke it." After that, he turned to Zhang Yue and asked, "You won't blame me, right?"

Zhang Yue was trying to hold back her laughter at this time. She was so happy that she had completely forgotten that she had been caught. Seeing Shen Ran asking her, she waved her hands while holding back her laughter, "No, no, my family is rich anyway. It's just a jade bracelet. If it breaks, it breaks."

As long as he could dissuade her from asking him for the jade bracelet, it would be enough. Now there was another benefit that would cause her trouble, so how could she blame him?

Chapter 36 Hatred is born from the heart Hearing this, Shen Ran raised his eyebrows, "In this case, you can give me a similar piece of jewelry later as a token of your love for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone calling him. Before Zhang Yue could react to his words, he left. However, when he left, a not-very obvious smile flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, Zhang Yue was dumbfounded by what he just said. His smile stopped abruptly and he stood there in a daze.

I wondered how this guy could be so kind to help me. It turned out that he was waiting here. He opened his mouth and asked her for jewelry worth 50 or 60 million! No matter how rich her family is, it's not like this, okay? No, there is no door, no, not only no door, but also no window.

When she came to her senses and was about to explode, she found that the person was no longer there. She was so angry that she went crazy. She looked for something but couldn't find anything to vent her anger. Finally, she grabbed the wine glass that she had placed on the table next to her and drank it down, as if the wine in the glass was Shen Ran, and only by eating him could she vent the anger in her heart.

A farce came to an end with Shen Ran's arrival and departure. Most people's eyes turned away after he left, some went to talk to him, or continued the topic they had not finished before. Only a few people were still looking here.

Lin Chuchu had been a little absent-minded since she heard that the jade bracelet was broken. She was unable to come back to her senses for a long time after Shen Ran confirmed the answer in person. One sentence kept echoing in her mind, "The jade bracelet is broken, and her storage space is gone. The jade bracelet is broken, and her storage space is gone...."

Suddenly hatred arose in my heart.

She felt that if Zhang Yue had not told the scandal between her and Lu Zifeng in public, she would not be ridiculed by so many people today. If Zhang Yue had not wanted to flirt with Shen Ran and gave him the jade bracelet, Shen Ran would not have broken it, and her storage space would not have been gone.

The jade bracelet was hers, and Shen Ran was also hers. Zhang Yue was just a cannon fodder for her, so why would she get involved with her idol-like man? And she was embarrassed in front of so many people.

Bitch, it's all that bitch's fault, it's all her fault.

Lin Chuchu felt jealous and hateful, and her face turned dark. She stared at Zhang Yue who was drinking hard. She took a few deep breaths, and her lips, which were painted red like blood, curled up slightly, and a hint of unknown coldness appeared in her eyes.

She turned around and took Lu Zifeng away.

"Where are you taking me?"

After being led away for several steps, Lu Zifeng shook off Lin Chuchu's hand with an obviously unhappy expression on his face. He was a little annoyed because the matter was not accomplished. He looked at her with mockery in his eyes and said, "You don't want me to take you to find that man named Shen again, do you? Do you think he will like you this way? Don't dream."

It's not that he hasn't heard of the name Shen Ran, and he's also heard many legends about him, but he's never seen him in person, so when he passed by him yesterday, he didn't recognize who he was.

And just now he was standing right in front of him.

The moment he saw him, even if he thought he was a very outstanding man, he had to admit that Shen Ran was a very outstanding man. Apart from anything else, just the fact that he was standing there was like a luminous body, so dazzling that people couldn't open their eyes, and he outshone him.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 37 It's really useless

But when he thought of the two women who were entangled with him, he had taken away their attention, especially Lin Chuchu's crazy look, which made him very unhappy. She used to look at him with such eyes, but now she used them to look at other men, which made him feel very embarrassed. Now that she remembered him after others left, it was even more embarrassing for him, so after she pulled him for a few steps, he immediately pushed her away in anger.

Lin Chuchu was also very angry about Lu Zifeng's attitude towards her, but she knew that Lu Zifeng's feelings for her were not as deep as described in the book, and she still had to rely on him to survive in this world. Therefore, even if she was angry, she could not get angry with him.

She took a few deep breaths and looked around. No one was paying attention to them. Then she said, "You think too much. The reason I did that just now was to get the jade bracelet. Unfortunately, he broke it. But even if it wasn't broken, you couldn't help me. I still have to figure it out on my own. What qualifications do you have to question me like this?"

This sounds reasonable. If his family's money had not been invested in those major engineering projects and not recovered, he would not have lost face in front of Lin Chuchu.

Seeing that her reasoning temporarily stopped Lu Zifeng from controlling her, she continued, "Don't forget why we came here tonight. If it weren't for your bad attitude towards Zhang Yue as soon as you came out, things wouldn't have gotten to this point."

She was right. Thinking of this, Lu Zifeng regretted his previous impulsiveness. Knowing that he was in the wrong, his attitude became more restrained, but it did not mean that he would admit his mistake.

"I did this all for you. She was so mean to you at that time. If I didn't stand up and support you, who would help you?"

Yes, unfortunately you are doing more harm than good.

Lin Chuchu couldn't say this out loud, so she could only roll her eyes in dissatisfaction with him in her heart.

"Yes, I know you are doing this for my own good, and I am very grateful to have you around, otherwise I would not be able to hold on any longer." When Lin Chuchu said this, her eyes turned red and a tear flowed down her cheeks. Her charming appearance made Lu Zifeng less angry.

"Okay, things have turned out like this and it's not what we wanted, but what should we do next? With Zhang Yue's stubborn personality, there's no way she will accept me again."

If I don't finish my work when I go back, I'm sure I'll get scolded by my dad, Lu Zifeng said somewhat disappointedly.

After hearing his useless words, Lin Chuchu cursed in her heart, what a useless guy, he couldn't even do such a small thing. She really couldn't understand why the author wrote him as the male protagonist.

She just couldn't figure it out and couldn't break up with Lu Zifeng right now, because she still needed him for many things. Besides, the space jade bracelet was broken, and she still had to prepare supplies, and she would not let Zhang Yue, who had caused her huge losses, have an easy time.

She glanced at Zhang Yue and said to Lu Zifeng, "Hasn't Zhang Yue's family always been very conservative? As long as you get her, with her previous feelings for you, even if our previous affairs have caused a rift in her heart, I think she will always forgive you and reconcile with you. In this way, you don't have to worry about the family business being affected, and you won't be scolded by Uncle Lu anymore."

What he said made sense, and he wanted to do so yesterday. According to the traditional and conservative ideas of the Zhang family, as long as he got Zhang Yue's body, he would go back to Zhang Hao to admit his mistake and propose to him. Zhang Hao would definitely agree for the sake of the Zhang family's reputation. In this way, it would not matter even if Zhang Yue held a grudge against him because of this, because all he wanted was the Zhang family's relationship chain.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 38 Put something in

But he didn't expect that she had bodyguards around her, so he failed. Thinking of this, Lu Zifeng said: "But she has someone protecting her, how can it be so easy to do it, and she has some skills herself, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it."

"What are you afraid of? We've been arguing for so long, but her bodyguards didn't come out to help her. I guess she definitely didn't bring her bodyguards out tonight. And..." When she got to this point, Lin Chuchu leaned close to Lu Zifeng and whispered in his ear: "When you were arguing with her just now, I secretly put something in her wine glass, and I just saw her drink the whole glass of wine. If she wants to leave later, we will follow her, and then..."

She didn't say the rest of the words, but just made a gesture to Lu Zifeng, and then looked in Zhang Yue's direction with a sinister smile.

After listening to Lin Chuchu's whisper, Lu Zifeng saw the hint from her actions, understood what she meant and looked in the direction of Zhang Yue. His eyes looked as if Zhang Yue was already meat on his plate, waiting for him to eat her at any time, and the smile on his face was extremely sinister and weird.

Looking back at Lin Chuchu, Lu Zifeng was touched but also a little skeptical. He tentatively said, "Chuchu, you have done so much for me, I don't know how to repay you, but if Zhang Yue and I get together again, what will you do?"

Lin Chuchu had already put away her sinister smile. After hearing what he said, she immediately looked at him with affectionate eyes and replied, "Zifeng, I love you. Being able to be with you openly and honestly is what I have always dreamed of. But now the facts tell us that it is not the right time yet. Then let's do as we said before and return to our previous relationship temporarily. After you stabilize Zhang Yue and the Lu family's predicament, we can officially and openly be together again. It won't be too late."

Lu Zifeng originally thought that she was deliberately trying to reconcile him and Zhang Yue so that she could get rid of him and find another man. But after hearing her affectionate words, his doubts disappeared.

Similarly, he was even more moved by what she had done for him and the grievances she had suffered.

He held Lin Chuchu's hand tightly, looked at her affectionately, and promised: "Don't worry, even if I am with Zhang Yue, it's just acting. I won't have real feelings for her anymore. As long as the big projects at home are completed and the money is collected, our Lu family will definitely leap up and become the richest family in Huicheng. By then, we won't need the help of the Zhang family anymore, and we won't have to look at Zhang Yue's face. Then we can be together openly."

I'm afraid that the end of the world will come before you can get your money back.

Lin Chuchu secretly complained in her heart, but responded to Lu Zifeng, "Yeah, I think so too, so whether it's me or you, just bear with it for the time being."

The two of them were planning and making agreements, while Zhang Yue was still not satisfied after drinking one glass of wine, so he drank another. At this time, the host of the party, Lin Miaoxin, came over with a glass of wine.

She had noticed something was wrong before, but she didn't know the inside story and was busy entertaining other guests, so she couldn't get away and help immediately. When she was able to come, Shen Ran had already appeared and solved the problem in a few words, so she had nothing to do with it.

Although her friend had not suffered any injustice, she still had to comfort her and help her save face.

She smiled and teased her, "I didn't expect our little princess to have such a fierce side. It's really rare."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 39: The Trick

Zhang Yue saw that it was her, and she was still a little angry, so she puffed up her face and said, "Damn it, I was a good lady, but they turned me into a shrew. How could I have an easy life?" After saying that, she blinked and looked at her with a little apology. "I'm sorry that I ruined your birthday party because of me."

Lin Miaoxin didn't care. "Tsk, what's the big deal? As long as you haven't been wronged or bullied by others, that's the most important thing. You apologize to me for such a small matter. Am I that petty?"

Zhang Yue, who had experienced two lifetimes, could tell from her words that she was sincere.

So she hugged Lin Miaoxin and said with a smile: "You are still the best to me. Well, since you are so good to me, I will tell you a secret." She put her mouth close to Lin Miaoxin's ear and lowered her voice, "After tonight, you'd better not go out for the next few days. Also, have someone buy more food and grain to store at home."

After hearing this, Lin Miaoxin remembered that she had just drunk a lot of wine and her face was now red. She thought she was drunk, otherwise how could she say such nonsense. For a family like theirs, the food and drinks are the freshest and best, so there is no need to buy them back and store them.

So he poked her head lightly with some helplessness and affection, and replied: "You, why do you drink so much for no reason? This is not a good thing."

"No, I... am not drunk." Zhang Yue waved her hand, but when she looked up at Lin Miaoxin, she saw two Lin Miaoxins swaying in front of her.

Well, she admitted that she was a little drunk.

Seeing that she couldn't even stand steadily, Lin Miaoxin was a little worried and was about to help her to the guest room upstairs to rest. At this time, someone came over and said, "Miss, it's time to cut the cake."

Cutting the cake is the most important part of a birthday. In addition to cutting the cake, she also has to announce her engagement. But looking at Zhang Yue who is a little unsteady on her feet, Lin Miaoxin hesitates with some worry.

"But......"

"Don't worry, just go ahead, I'm fine. I'll call my bodyguards and ask them to pick me up, but I may not be able to eat your cake, so please don't be mad at me."

Although Zhang Yue felt a little drunk, her mind was still clear. She also remembered this incident. Naturally, she couldn't let her worry about her own affairs anymore, so she quickly pushed her to the person who reminded her.

"Okay then, please call me when you get home."

Seeing that her thoughts were still quite clear, Lin Miaoxin thought that she was just a little drunk and it should be okay for her to make a phone call. However, she really didn't have the space to take care of her, so she had to help her sit on the sofa beside her, and then gave a few instructions to the person who came to remind her before leaving.

At first, Zhang Yue thought she had just drunk too much and was a little tipsy, but less than a minute after she sat down, she felt inexplicably hot inside, which was not the normal behavior of a drunk person.

She quickly took out her cell phone to call Chen Qidong, but when she opened the phone, oh my god, it was out of battery at this moment.

The heat in her body was rising, making her want to take off all her clothes.

Zhang Yue knew that she must have been tricked by someone else, and that someone else was most likely Lin Chuchu or Lu Zifeng. However, considering Lu Zifeng's brainless personality, it was unlikely, so it could only be Lin Chuchu, who looked weak and incompetent on the outside, but was full of evil ideas and tricks on the inside.

Chapter 40 Escape

Moreover, she was the closest to him during that period and had been in the drug the longest. She must have drugged him while he was arguing with Lu Zifeng, and she was so angry at Shen Ran that she drank it all in one gulp.

Damn it, this woman actually dared to give me that shameless medicine. I will kill you later.

Zhang Yue said angrily in his heart.

The call could not be made and it was not advisable to stay here for long. Zhang Yue already understood her current situation and quickly stood up and rushed out of the reception hall. Now she needed to find a place with water to wash off the heat in her body.

Seeing Zhang Yue leave, Lin Chuchu, who had been watching her secretly, winked at Lu Zifeng. Lu Zifeng received the hint and followed closely without anyone noticing.

Zhang Yue didn't know that she had been targeted. She rushed into the women's room and splashed cold water on her face. It felt a little better at first, but in less than a minute, the heat in her body not only rose again, but it was even more intense than before.

What should I do? She looked around. Fortunately, it was Lin Miaoxin's time to cut the cake and there was no one here. So she quickly found a toilet, bolted the door, and slipped into the space. Then she took the spoon by the well and scooped a large spoonful of water to drink.

Gurgle gurgle...

I hope the well water in the space is useful. After drinking the water, she hoped in her heart.

Unfortunately, she was disappointed. Although the water in the well could improve people's physical condition, it was not a panacea. Not only did it fail to eliminate the medicinal properties in her body, but it seemed to strengthen its efficacy.

Now Zhang Yue not only felt that she was just feeling hot, she was itching all over and wanted to knock him down and tear him apart. "No, I have to go to the hospital." Zhang Yue knew that if she didn't get rid of the drug, she would explode and die. She hadn't avenged herself yet, and she hadn't been reunited with her father yet, so she didn't want to die like this.

After leaving the space, she staggered to open the toilet door. At this moment, a familiar figure came into her sight. She immediately gritted her teeth and glared at the man, "Lu Zifeng, you guys are really great."

Seeing Lu Zifeng's appearance, how could she not understand what the two of them were planning on her? "Zhang Yue, I'm here to reconcile with you." Lu Zifeng walked towards her with a smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes. How could Zhang Yue not know what he meant, but...

"You're dreaming. I won't let you succeed." He used all his strength to rush towards Lu Zifeng who was approaching him, and ran away the moment he knocked him down.

Lu Liaofeng obviously didn't expect that she could still have such great strength after being drugged. This collision not only knocked him to the ground, but also caused pain in his internal organs. He climbed up with his teeth bared, and when he saw the direction she was fleeing, he raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "I wonder where you can escape to."

As he said this, he quickly caught up with him.

Zhang Yueze fled in panic, and did not think of running outside. Otherwise, in the dark night, even with street lights, she could just find a dark corner to hide and it would be difficult for him to find her.

As a result, when she ran to a corner, she happened to see a staircase leading to a safe passage, and she rushed up without thinking. Just when she ran to the second floor, she heard the sound of people chasing her downstairs. It was too late to change her mind, so she continued to rush forward without caring about anything.

She didn't remember how many floors she had run up, she only knew that she turned several corners. When she was almost out of strength, she opened the security door on the last floor and rushed in. Then, after running a few steps, she accidentally ran into a man's arms.
