Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“What are you doing here, Lin Jin?” Shen Lan had planned today’s play date with Liu Sheng, a close friend. As she entered the high fashion boutique she frequented, she was startled to see a familiar face.
“Hello, Miss Shen.” Lin Jin smiled carefully. Given the size of the Shen family, she rarely ran into Shen Lan.
As she regarded Lin Jin, Shen Lan frowned.
She had only met Lin Jin a handful of times prior to this, at family banquets, and she had never formed a strong opinion of her. Later on, she noticed Lu Zhao’s fiancee because her friend Liu Sheng was a fan of Lu Zhao.
“Doesn’t Lu Zhao have a fiancee already?” Shen Lan gave this piece of advice to her friend Liu Sheng a while ago after overhearing Liu Sheng gush about how much she liked Lu Zhao.
After all, Shen Lan’s greatest pet peeve was being the cause of emotional distress for someone else.
But Liu Sheng was incredibly persistent. “There is an engagement, but they are not yet married. Lu Zhao is still single. That Luo Ying doesn’t deserve him at all. I have been waiting for him to file for divorce for a while now. I am not willing to give up.”
“Shen Lan, my feelings for Lu Zhou are similar to yours for Zhou Li.” Shen Lan was moved by the tenderness she saw in Liu Sheng’s eyes.
“Alright then… What you said has some merit.” Shen Lan reluctantly accepted
this explanation because she had once heard her father say that Lin Jin was engaged by Old Master Lu, and that Lu Zhao himself did not like it. She had never even seen him and Lin Jin attend any public events together.
“Shen Lan, you know that I’m not good at anything other than work. You have to help me.” Liu Sheng grabbed Shen Lan by the arm and pouted.
Shen Lan nodded. She considered Liu Sheng her best friend because she had once saved her life. If it did not conflict with her beliefs, she would help her out.
Even though her friend’s family was not particularly well-off, Shen Lan still thought her as a very capable person. She outshone Lin Jin in every way by rising quickly through the ranks to become vice president of a company. Lu Zhao would definitely give her a positive reaction.
Consequently, Shen Lan would use this time to plan how best to introduce her close friend to Lu Zhao. On the other hand, Lin Jin was an enemy that they kept an eye on.
And yet, today, Lin Jin was seen in the company of Liu Sheng. Why? This perplexed Shen Lan. Shouldn’t Liu Sheng hate Lin Jin?
“Shen Lan, come with me!” Quickly pulling Shen Lan to one side, Liu Sheng said in a hushed voice, “I did not want to meet Lin Jin either, but she said she has news about Zhou Li.”
Shen Lan’s only and first true love was Zhou Li. Last month, however, they had an unexpected argument. Zhou Li ended things on the spur of the moment, and Shen Lan never heard from him again.
“Really?” Shock swept over Shen Lan.
“Of course it’s true! I am sure you know how much I hate Lin Jin,” Liu Sheng said earnestly. “I would not have agreed to meet her if not for Zhou Li.”
‘ Lin Jin knows where Zhou Li is, but…” The worry in Liu Sheng’s eyes was palpable. “I’m afraid you won’t be able to take it…”
Shen Lan’s chest thumped rapidly. She felt uneasy all of a sudden.
“I want to know,” Shen Lan said firmly.
With a nod, Liu Sheng returned her to Lin Jin. “Lin Jin, take out the photo.”
Lin Jin obediently took out the photo. The background looked like a cafe. A tall, attractive man was seen hugging a stranger and lighting her cigarette with care.
“This is Du Tian, a C-list actress. She’s been in the same crew as Luo Ying recently…” Lin Jin explained carefully.
“Where did you take it?!” Shen Lan’s slender fingers gripped the photo tightly, and her body began to tremble.
“It’s a restaurant to the west. Apparently, Du Tian owns the place. They frequent there. Moreover…” Lin Jin slowly added, “They seem to have reserved a seat over there this afternoon.
Shen Lan grabbed the photo and turned to leave.
“Shen Lan? Where are you going? Shen Lan!” Liu Sheng shouted anxiously and worriedly, but Shen Lan did not seem to hear her. She continued taking massive strides.
But if she turned around, she would have seen that although Liu Sheng appeared to be shouting anxiously, she was actually standing perfectly still.
Lin Jin was relieved to see Shen Lan leave the store. “Are you sure this will work?” She was worried about Shen Lan’s wrath upon finding out the truth..
