The Little Brat’s Sweet And Sassy

1218 I Can’t Lose Her a Second Time

Time passed by slowly.

As Shen Li sat in the living room, she read a book, drank some water, and played with her phone.

However, no matter what she did, it seemed like she could not calm down. She could not help but continuously look in the direction of the study.

It had been half an hour since Lu Huaiyu and Shen Zhijin had gone in together.

She was sitting outside and could not hear anything.

She leaned back against the back of the sofa.

‘I wonder what’s the situation inside…’

…

In the study.

Shen Zhijin and Lu Huai sat opposite each other.

It was a rare clear autumn day in the Capital. The bright morning sun shone through the window.

However, the room seemed to be covered by a transparent barrier that was blocking the warmth outside from coming in.

The air seemed to be filled with a faint chill.

“Teacher Shen, I believe you already know the reason I am here today.”

Taking the initiative, Lu Huaiyu pushed a file on the table forward.

“These are all the properties under my name, my collections, and the contract for a quarter of the Lu Corporation’s shares.”

Shen Zhijin’s eyes were clear as he continued to look at him quietly.

Lu Huaiyu smiled and said, “These weren’t decided today. They were signed on Ah Li’s 18th birthday. Other than that, if anything happens to me, the remaining 51% of the Lu Corporation’s shares under my name will be given to her automatically.”

Shen Zhijin’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

“Actually, these are not worth mentioning compared to what she has now, but Ah Li had not been recognized back then. You should know her situation at that time.”

Shen Zhijin closed his eyes.

Yes.

He rarely took the initiative to ask Shen Li about her past, but that did not mean that he did not know.

He did not dare to recall how much she had suffered in those eighteen years.

“At that time, I thought that since no one was taking care of the young girl, I would take care of her.”

When she said that she liked him, he decided he would give her everything.

“If no one would be good to her, then I decided that I would do it.”

He would give her what the world owed her.

Lu Huaiyu’s thin lips curved slightly, a smile appearing on his cold and noble face.

“It’s a good thing she still has you and the Gu family,”

“I know that she’s still young and has only just returned to your side and the Gu family not long ago. It really shouldn’t be like this. But…”

He suddenly stopped, and the room fell into silence.

The tea on the table was only left with a faint white mist.

He said, “But I can’t lose her a second time.”

…

The tea gradually cooled.

After a long time, Shen Zhijin finally raised his eyes. The expression on his elegant face was exceptionally calm.

He said, “Ah Li doesn’t need the 51% shares of the Lu Corporation.”

Lu Huaiyu was slightly startled.

Then, he let out a breath and said, “Thank you, Teacher Shen.”

Shen Zhijin looked out of the window and seemed to be lost in thought.

After a long while, he said, “Have you been to the Gu residence?”

“Not yet,” Lu Huaiyu replied, “If you agree, I’ll take Ah Li there this afternoon.”

Shen Zhijin was silent for a long time before he said, “Alright. Well, go and ask Ah Li what she wants to eat for lunch.”

…

At noon, the three of them had lunch together.

Shen Li looked at Shen Zhijin, who was sitting in the main seat before looking at Lu Huaiyu, who was sitting opposite her.

What… had they actually discussed?

The two of them had stayed in the study room for a long time. When Lu Huaiyu finally came out, he had asked her what she wanted to eat for lunch.

After that… nothing had been revealed.

The key point was that both of their faces were expressionless, so she could not see anything whether she looked left or right.

Shen Li finished her lunch in a daze.

In the afternoon, Lu Huaiyu said that he would take her to Hong Kong City.

Shen Li felt that it was a little sudden. However, after thinking about it carefully, she realized that since she was already at Shen Zhijin’s place, it seemed… appropriate that they should make a trip to the Gu residence.

Before she left, Shen Zhijin finally called her to the study room.

“Tangtang, come here for a moment.”

“Oh,” Shen Li replied nervously.

She got up and followed him.

…

She did not know what Lu Huaiyu and Shen Zhijin had talked about, but Shen Zhijin’s reaction was indeed a little different from what she had expected.

She was a little nervous.

“Tangtang.”

Shen Zhijin called out to her.

She raised her eyes.

“Dad?”

A warm and strong hand landed on her head.

“Are you worried that I’ll be angry?”

She hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Shen Zhijin said, “I am indeed angry with Lu Huaiyu.”

She was still too young.

“Then you…”

Shen Zhijin was quiet for a moment, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

“But Yin Yin would definitely say that I’m too stubborn.”

Shen Li was stunned.

Shen Zhijin lowered his eyes and looked at her carefully. He said softly, “After all, she loves you the most.”

…

At the Gu family mansion.

Another black car drove into the courtyard.

As Gu Tinglan alighted from the car, Qi Yang, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly came up to him.

“Fifth Master.”

“Have my big brother and the others already arrived?”

Gu Tinglan asked as he walked in.

“Yes.” Qi Yang wiped the sweat off his forehead. “First Master came back yesterday. He was supposed to go to Bai City in the afternoon, but that plan has been canceled. Second Master was at the dock, and Third Master was in a meeting at the company. They’re all back.”

Gu Tinglan quickened his pace and entered the villa.

He looked around but did not see anyone on the first floor.

Qi Yang quickly said, “The old master and Second Master Lu are in the study room. All the uncles are also in the study room.”

“Where’s Ah Li?”

“Miss Ah Li and the old madam are in the tea room.”

Gu Tinglan massaged the space between his eyebrows.

Lu Huaiyu was too bold!

He had actually dared to bring Ah Li to their doorstep?

He quickly walked up the stairs.

“I understand.”

…

In the tea room.

A rich and refreshing smell filled the air.

Old Madam Gu looked at Shen Li.

“Ah Li? Is this tea not to your taste?”

Shen Li came back to her senses and shook her head.

“No, that’s not it.”

“You’ve been completely lost in your thoughts ever since you came here.” Old Madam Gu patted her hand with a smile. “Don’t worry, your grandfather is not an unreasonable person.”

However, it was hard to say for the others.

Besides, everyone in Hong Kong City knew that Old Master Gu was the most reasonable with Old Madam Gu.

Shen Li looked at the time.

It had already been more than two hours…

Old Madam Gu looked at her and suddenly asked, “Has Huaiyu already met with Zhijin?”

Shen Li nodded.

“What did Zhijin say?”

Shen Li was stunned.

“Zhijin will say whatever Yin Yin would have said. Your grandfather may be a little stubborn, but he has never gone against Yin Yin’s wishes. ”

Old Madam Gu smiled gently.

“Natually, he won’t go against your wishes now.”
