Chen Yuxin's heart pounded wildly the moment Lu Jincheng turned away.
"Bang bang..." Each beat was strong.
This was a feeling she never had when she saw Gu Miao.
Did she subconsciously like Lu Jincheng?
The first time she met Lu Jincheng, he was the victim of a staged accident.
She compassionately stepped forward to help him, and that led to him giving her a ride home.
Later, they had two more meals together.
There was also the time he was being pursued at a hotel and hid in her room.
After that, they rarely saw each other, and she thought they would never have any more contact.
But last night, that unexpected incident happened again; he had gone into the wrong room both times.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuxin felt exceptionally complex emotions.
When she thought of her sister, she felt a sense of disgust towards rich people.
His mother seemed very kind, but she had never interacted with her before, so how could she know if she was truly kind and easy to get along with?
Her expression grew even paler as she thought of her sister's mother-in-law.
Because her family's financial situation was poor, her sister's mother-in-law never treated her sister like a human being.
She had to wake up at six every morning, finish cleaning, and prepare breakfast for the children.
After breakfast, she would send the children to school.
Then she would rush to the market, and after returning home, she would cook for the family.
She also had to wash clothes for the family, working like a dog every day yet not earning any respect.
She had advised her sister to divorce multiple times, but her sister, for the sake of her child's future, adamantly refused.
She had seen her brother-in-law cheat many times, but she could only turn a blind eye and tell her sister, which would only make things harder for her sister.
Chen Yuxin took a deep breath, composed herself, and went out.
Lu Jincheng was sitting in a booth, along with Li Yan and his friend. Gu Miao was not there.
Chen Yuxin thought she could leave, but then she heard Lu Jincheng say, "They all found the women they like and went to dance over there."
Chen Yuxin took a deep breath and asked, "Can I go back first? I'm very tired."
Lu Jincheng: "Mm! I'll take you back."
"No... no need." Chen Yuxin quickly refused.
Lu Jincheng stood up, not allowing her to refuse. "It's very late now. You're so beautiful, aren't you afraid something might happen?"
Chen Yuxin: "..."
"Let's go. My secretary is downstairs. She'll drive us back. I can't drive because I've been drinking."
Chen Yuxin could only follow him silently.
Lu Jincheng looked at her retreating back, a faint smile curling his lips.
Lu Jincheng contacted his secretary and asked her to wait for them downstairs with the car.
When they reached the lobby on the first floor and just stepped out of the elevator, they encountered a slightly overweight man walking towards them, embracing a woman.
Chen Yuxin was speechless when she saw the unfamiliar woman in the man's arms.
This man was her brother-in-law, Zhou Shen.
He came out every day to play with different women, and every time she saw him, she felt disgusted.
Chen Yuxin lowered her head, not wanting to acknowledge this scoundrel.
As they passed each other, Zhou Shen suddenly called out to Chen Yuxin.
"Chen Yuxin, are you blind? Didn't you see your brother-in-law?" Zhou Shen's voice was sinister.
Chen Yuxin stopped in her tracks. Looking at his plump, greasy face, she felt like throwing up.
"Who are you? Is the person in your arms my sister?" Chen Yuxin glared at him fiercely.
"Your sister knows everything I do. If she doesn't like it, she can divorce me. There are plenty of women in the world waiting to marry me," Zhou Shen said proudly, looking at Chen Yuxin with his nostrils flared.
This sister-in-law was beautiful, but unfortunately, she was a difficult one. Every time he saw her, she gave him an unfriendly look.
Over time, he had also become annoyed.
Every woman he met would greet him with smiles and deference, but this sister-in-law was the only one with a rebellious spirit. Every time he saw her, he wished he could deal with her in a wicked way, but he never had the chance.
Chen Yuxin said angrily, "Don't worry, my sister will definitely divorce you. I'm going to see her tonight and tell her to divorce you immediately."
Chen Yuxin was furious.
"That's great. I heard your grandmother was hospitalized just now. Does your family have money to pay the hospital fees? Your sister just called me asking for money for the hospitalization fees."
"Go and see if she's willing to divorce me. If she divorces me, where will your family get money to treat your grandmother? You just started working and don't have many savings, right?"
These words struck a nerve for Chen Yuxin.
Zhou Shen laughed with extreme malice. This sense of superiority from controlling someone's life made him feel incredibly pleased.
"My grandmother is hospitalized?" Chen Yuxin was very anxious.
"That's right. She slipped when she was going downstairs and broke a bone," Zhou Shen said.
He didn't notice Lu Jincheng behind Chen Yuxin. Lu Jincheng stepped closer and said to her, "Yuxin, if you follow me, I'll give you a million yuan immediately, and all your family's problems will be solved."
Before Chen Yuxin could reply, Lu Jincheng stepped forward, grabbed Zhou Shen by the collar, and punched him hard in the face.
"Ah..." Chen Yuxin was startled.
"Ugh..." Zhou Shen let out a pig-like scream of pain.
Dizzy and disoriented from the blow, he would have fallen to the ground if Lu Jincheng hadn't been holding him.
"You... who do you think you are? Do you know who I am? How dare you hit me?" Zhou Shen blurted out profanities, spittle flying everywhere.
Lu Jincheng disdainfully threw him to the ground.
"You dare to touch a single finger of the woman I, Lu Jincheng, claim? I will make you regret being born into this world."
"Lu... Lu Jincheng, the second young master of the Lu family?" Zhou Shen was stunned.
Lu Jincheng took Chen Yuxin's hand and said, "Let's go to the hospital."
"I..."
"Stop the nonsense. Don't you want to save your grandmother?" Lu Jincheng's words made Chen Yuxin shut up instantly.
Zhou Shen looked at Lu Jincheng's retreating back, greatly astonished.
If he was indeed Lu Jincheng, their Zhou family would be finished with just a word.
Zhou Shen was terrified.
Losing his desire to play with women, he turned and followed them to the hospital. If he could latch onto the powerful Lu family, all his future business endeavors would be much smoother.
"Hey! Where are you going, you scoundrel?" The woman left behind stomped her feet in resentment.
Chen Yuxin called her mother, and after confirming the hospital's address, she asked Xiao Yang to drive to the hospital.
Her home was in the east, and it would take a full hour to drive there from here.
However, during this hour, Lu Jincheng, after clarifying the hospital's location, quickly used his connections to get her grandmother admitted to the best orthopedic hospital for surgery. With just a few phone calls, he arranged everything for her grandmother. She once again witnessed how convenient the world of the rich was.
She remembered the first time she met Lu Jincheng. Yes, she first met Lu Jincheng in the hospital when his sister was injured. He was anxious and furious then, directly opening a VIP green channel and rushing his sister into the operating room.
Lu Jincheng looked at Chen Yuxin, who was lowering her head and not speaking, and comforted her, "It's okay now. I've arranged everything. Your grandmother will be fine."
Chen Yuxin looked up at him. She was unable to do these things and could only have her grandmother treated at their hospital.
"Thank you!" Chen Yuxin was truly grateful to him.
Lu Jincheng curved his lips and looked at her with a gentle smile, asking, "Then how will you thank me?"
