Teasing

Apart from the master bedroom, there was also a study on the second floor. When Jiang Jiu came out, the door of the study happened to be open, and a tall figure stood in front of it.

When the man heard footsteps, he turned around swiftly, his dark eyes were deep. "Young Madam."

This was the first time Jiang Jiu had seen this face. She had been staying with the Lu family for the past few days and had more or less heard some information about Lu Jinxing from the servants. If she didn't guess wrongly, the person in front of her should be his personal bodyguard and his capable subordinate, Ji Chen.

As expected, in the next moment, the man lowered his head and said, "I'm Ji Chen, Third Young Master's assistant."

"Morning." Jiang Jiu nodded and greeted him calmly. The study door was open, and she took the opportunity to look inside. She was greeted by a huge desk with all kinds of office equipment on it.

"Third Young Master is downstairs."

Ji Chen casually closed the study door. Jiang Jiu retracted her gaze and nodded at him again before turning to go downstairs.

The floor-to-ceiling window in the dining room had a wide view. As soon as Jiang Jiu walked in, she saw the man sitting at the table. From the angle she was standing, her vision was filled with the man's perfect side profile.

Lu Jinxing was undoubtedly the most handsome man in Yun City. Just his face alone had countless socialites and beauties chasing after him, not to mention that he was rich and powerful. Jiang Jiu sighed to herself. Why did she have to get involved with such a man?

After a while, Jiang Jiu brought out two cups of hand-made coffee from the kitchen. The unique fragrance of the coffee wafted around her. She placed the cup gently beside the man's hand. "I made it myself. Try it and see how it tastes."

Lu Jinxing's expression was normal, as if he didn't hear her. There were many servants standing at the side. Jiang Jiu handed another cup of coffee to Ji Chen behind her.

"You should try it too." Since she wanted to ease the relationship, she naturally had to have a lot of people around her.

"Thank you, Young Madam." Ji Chen took the cup politely.

The man pulled out a chair and casually threw the napkin on the table. He raised his eyebrows slightly and his gaze only lingered on Jiang Jiu's face for a moment before he said, "You dare to drink things given by anyone? Aren't you afraid of being poisoned to death?"

"…"

With that, Lu Jinxing turned around and walked away.

Ji Chen put down his cup and nodded slightly before leaving.

The servants didn't dare to make a sound. Jiang Jiu pulled out a chair and sat down. She really couldn't please him. In the past, she couldn't compare to Jiang Ran at home. Now, she couldn't gain any advantage in the Lu family.

Forget it. She never forced herself or others. The fragrance of the Blue Mountain Coffee was rich. She took a small sip. She had to admit that the Lu family's things were really top-notch.

In the morning, Jiang Jiu sent two lawyer letters and met a client. During her lunch break, she didn't eat. Ever since she took the birth control medicine, her stomach had been uncomfortable. She poured a cup of hot water and sat in a chair to rest.

There were still some bruises on her body. Jiang Jiu rolled down the sleeves of her shirt, feeling uneasy. She sent a WeChat message to Shi Yi, but there was no reply for a long time.

She decided to make a call, but there was only an automated reply on the other end of the line, indicating that the other party had turned off her phone.

Turned off?

Jiang Jiu's expression changed and she immediately called Lu Jinxing. Was this man done?

The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up at the end. Lu Jinxing's low and magnetic voice came lazily. "Hello."

Jiang Jiu lowered her voice. "Where are you?"

On the other end of the line, the woman's delicate voice was still sharp through the phone. Jiang Jiu only heard Lu Jinxing chuckle and throw one word at her. "Guess."

Beep, beep, beep!

The call ended. Jiang Jiu didn't have time to argue. After taking leave, she immediately drove away from the law firm.

Although she didn't like to socialize with the rich and powerful, she more or less knew a little. People with family backgrounds like Lu Jinxing wouldn't go anywhere to play casually. Normal people were usually not allowed to go to places that people like him went to.

Zun Ting Clubhouse, a carefree nest for the riches.

Jiang Jiu parked the car outside the club and strode in. The security here was tight, and it took the waiter a long time to recognize her. He didn't make things difficult for her and made an exception to let her in.

She had been to this place once before and was accompanying that man. At this moment, Jiang Jiu was a little glad. If she hadn't shown her face previously, she wouldn't even be able to enter the door today.

Walking up the stairs, Jiang Jiu could only take a gamble and hope that Lu Jinxing was really here.

The third floor was filled with VIP rooms. Jiang Jiu stood outside the largest door and took out her phone to call her good friend again. The other party's phone was still switched off. She put her phone back and pushed open the door.

Clap—

The door of the private room was wide open, and the laughter and scolding of the men and women instantly stopped. Everyone stared at the woman walking over in unison and quickly looked at the man on the sofa.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. His wife chased him all the way here?

After Jiang Jiu entered, she quickly looked around. The private room was very big, but there was no secret door. She patrolled around but did not see Shi Yi.

"Does Third Sister-in-law have to keep such a close eye on Third Young Master in broad daylight?" The person who spoke was Wen Zhaonian. Jiang Jiu had seen him on the day of the wedding ceremony. He and Lu Jinxing were childhood friends and belonged to the same circle.

"Third Young Master." Jiang Jiu couldn't be bothered by the mockery in those people's words and walked straight to Lu Jinxing.

On the black sofa, Lu Jinxing crossed his legs and swirled a glass of red wine in his hand with a lazy expression. These women were all the same. As long as he was a little cold to them, they would be rushing to please him.

"How did you know I was here?" Lu Jinxing asked with a faint smile.

Jiang Jiu didn't want to beat around the bush and asked him directly, "Where's my friend?"

'Friend?'

Lu Jinxing's gaze moved slightly before his expression darkened.

"The wedding photo has nothing to do with her. Has Third Young Master not vented his anger yet?"

At the side, Wen Zhaonian figured out what was going on from her words. He raised his eyebrows and smiled frivolously. "Third Sister-in-law is looking for someone the moment she enters. She's not giving us face."

When these words fell into Jiang Jiu's ears, she figured that there was clearly something wrong. She turned around and asked, "Then what do I have to do to give face?"

"Here." Wen Zhaonian nodded. "Go to the dance floor and shout three times: Third Young Master is the most handsome. Third Young Master, I love you."

"Hahaha, Brother Nian, do you have to be so naughty?"

"That's good. Make Third Sister-in-law confess on the spot."

"Do it, do it!"

Everyone cheered. Jiang Jiu looked at the cold Lu Jinxing. Last night, he stood in the night with the same expression and watched her being mocked and humiliated by a group of people.

"Are there any other options?"

Wen Zhaonian narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Jiu angrily. "Everyone is just looking for some entertainment. Why don't Third Sister-in-law go dance and broaden our horizons?"

What could be good about dancing in such a place? This man pressured her again and again, not giving her a chance to catch her breath.

"Third Young Master." Jiang Jiu looked at Lu Jinxing and said calmly, "I can dance, but can we forget about the photo?"

Lu Jinxing slowly looked up. The smile at the corner of his eyes was emotionless. "As long as everyone is satisfied with your dancing, I'll let it pass."

"Okay," Jiang Jiu agreed immediately.

Since these people's target was her, Shi Yi should be safe for the time being. Jiang Jiu turned around, and someone from the clubhouse came forward and brought her downstairs.
