Chapter 315: Chapter 315 The Key Hidden by the Chu Family

“Don’t follow me.”

Ji Muye’s voice was cold and devoid of warmth.

Yet the girl looked at him cheerfully, her lips curving into a smile, “I won’t. Ji Muye, Old Xi had said that I should follow you and learn during this period, you can’t just shake me off.”

As she spoke, she couldn’t help but want to get closer to the man, only to see him hastening away.

Ji Muye’s steps were steady, and Ma Sai at the door had already opened the car door. He never looked back at her from beginning to end, but this made the girl’s desire to conquer his heart even stronger.

“One day you will submit to me and cherish me in the palm of your hand!”

She saw Ji Muye as a man full of challenges, his eyes determined, brighter than the stars in the night sky.

Inside the swiftly moving car.

Ma Sai saw the message from his subordinate and immediately reported it to Ji Muye without hesitation.

“Boss, Shang Lvxing has gone to Yunqiao Village.”

Ji Muye tugged at his tie, his pale, slender knuckles suddenly pausing.

Thinking of the previously discovered messages related to Shang Lvxing.

The man’s emotionless pupils suddenly turned colder than before.

He spoke in a deep voice, “Send the message to Shang Yueling.”

Although he didn’t know why Shang Qing still allowed that imposter to occupy the position of the Shang Family’s young lady, considering the current situation, not disclosing Lu Xining’s identity was all to her benefit without harm.

Perhaps, that’s what the old fox thought.

Ma Sai, following his instructions, immediately arranged for someone to handle the matter.

Shang Qing had already learned who his biological daughter was.

No one in the Shang Family revealed this to Shang Yueling, so she still thought she was perfectly disguised.

Upon learning Shang Lvxing had gone to see Lu Xining, Shang Yueling’s face instantly darkened.

She clutched her fragile heart, thinking of her risky venture to the underground city in Country C, intending to get closer to Jing Zheng and acquire help from ZN Laboratory to cure her illness and finally accomplish having Shang Lvxing’s child.

But an unexpected emergency occurred.

It led to a roundabout course of events where not only did her plan not succeed, but she also almost got taken advantage of by that old man.

Shang Yueling was furious inside, “Book me the fastest flight to Yun City!”

She didn’t even return to the Shang Family, but directly instructed the driver.

Meanwhile, in Yunqiao Village, a heavy air filled the Lu Family’s living room.

Little Dumpling had been taken upstairs by the maid to take a nap.

At this moment, in the living room, only Lu Xining and Shang Lvxing were present.

She straightforwardly inquired about his purpose for this visit.

“I don’t think you are a person who cares about love and affection, you can speak directly about any conditions, there’s no need for beating around the bush or doing things that are incomprehensible.”

The tea in front of the man had already cooled down, his deep black eyes staring unblinkingly at her.

“What if I say, yes.”

Lu Xining furrowed her brows, staring into his eyes as if trying to see through to his heart, clearly not trusting what he had just said.

Intuition told her, Shang Lvxing was not telling the truth.

If he really was a man of sentiment, he could never have risen to his current position.

Nor could he become the dreaded presence of Beicheng.

In Beicheng, anyone related to the ‘Shang’ name had to be respected more than others.

Not to mention that the two had never met in the past twenty-some years.

Even if they truly loved each other deeply, given this man’s nature, even love would be rational.

In Lu Xining’s view, his current actions indicated that there was profit to be made from her.

Apart from the interests behind the ZN Laboratory, she could think of nothing else.

Shang Lvxing looked up, “Do you really not believe in your own charm?”

The man’s eyes are beautiful, and his features are meticulously perfect, making it easy to lose oneself in the ambiance he creates.

“It’s not that I don’t believe in my charm; I just don’t believe you.”

At this moment, Shang Lvxing was leisurely staring into her eyes, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with her statement.

“I promised Aunt Chu that I would make you happy.”

Lu Xining immediately gave him a cold look and sneered, “You better not say that, I’m afraid it would stir my mom up from her grave to come and slap you twice.”

Shang Lvxing: “…” That was roughly put.

But strangely, he found it somewhat pleasant to hear.

Her voice was cold, yet it always captivated people, filled with a sense of story.

“Shang Lvxing, even if you deeply love a woman, once it comes to certain interests, I believe you will definitely hit the brakes rationally, even taking care of your future worries yourself.”

This kind of person is a born superior.

Cool, indifferent.

Not allowing excess emotions to linger and affect their decision-making.

Shang Lvxing: “Is that so.”

This was the first time someone could see through his nature at a glance.

His gaze swept across Lu Xining’s eyes, and the slight curve of his mouth had also retracted at this moment.

“Don’t you want to know the secret of this bracelet?”

A bracelet that is related to her concerned mother and grandmother, Shang Lvxing didn’t believe she wasn’t interested.

Lu Xining indeed wanted to know what unknown secret the bracelet hid, but if it required her to sacrifice herself to engage emotionally with a man she didn’t love, it was a losing deal she wouldn’t accept.

“I want to know, but I can live without knowing.” Her voice was resolute.

Shang Lvxing raised his eyebrows, his interest in her peaking at this moment.

“Why not try to understand each other?”

He was like a serpent tempting one to steal an apple, his magnetic voice laced with unknown risks.

Lu Xining: “There’s no need.”

“I’m good-looking and capable. I wonder what Miss Lu finds unsatisfactory about me?”

“Or is it that you still have a place for that ex-husband in your heart?” The man’s voice was deep, sounding probing.

Suddenly, Lu Xining laughed lightly.

“There are many handsome men in the world, am I supposed to accept every single one that comes along?”

She countered, “Shang Yueling is also very beautiful, why don’t you marry her? She’s now the Shang Family’s young lady; it would help solidify your position more, wouldn’t it?”

The man seemed to realize that his earlier comment was inappropriate.

He paused for a moment, reining in the casual demeanor he had deliberately displayed, his gaze sharply fixed on the woman opposite him.

The afternoon sunshine outside the window was at its peak.

Yet, the temperature inside had suddenly dropped a lot.

Lu Xining crashed into a pair of intensely dark eyes, stormy with danger.

This undisguised Shang Lvxing was his true self.

His gaze was icy and sharp, exuding an unshakable haughtiness and confidence, slowly unravelling in the depths of his profound eyes.

He carried an effortless control over the situation, radiating undeniable authority and charisma.

Completely unlike his demeanor in front of Shang Qing.

Raised by a lion from a young cub, he had long since become an existence surpassing the lion.

Shang Lvxing deeply gazed into her eyes, and slowly spoke, “This bracelet is the key to unlocking the hidden treasures of the Chu Family.”
