After Being Betrayed I Married the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 277 - 275: Pretending to be a chaste maiden?!
In Capital City, the Lu family was considered one of the prominent and long-standing families. It boasted over a century of illustrious heritage, commanded great respect, and wielded considerable influence.
Logically speaking, there was no reason for someone from the Lu family to appear in Hangcheng City. So why did one of them just pop up out of nowhere?
"Master," Li Huanhuan called out in a soft voice when she saw Shen Fanyun remain motionless for a long time.
Shen Fanyun said, "Drink your milk, drink your milk."
??? Li Huanhuan's brow furrowed into a line. Drinking milk tea was one thing, but what was this about drinking milk?
Where did the milk come from? Whose milk? Huh?
Li Huanhuan instantly grew wary, her gaze on Shen Fanyun turning deep and meaningful.
"Master."
"You're not thinking of doing something naughty again, are you?" Li Huanhuan teased, biting her straw as she looked at Shen Fanyun with a sly smile.
Is this guy an ox? Doesn't he ever rest?
Shen Fanyun was speechless.
"That's enough," he said, waving his hand dismissively, in no mood to banter with Li Huanhuan.
The girl was too bold, and Shen Fanyun feared he wouldn't be able to handle her. He was still recovering from his encounter with Lin Meiqing, whom he had just met.
And now here was Li Huanhuan—he really couldn't take it!
His battles had been too frequent recently; he needed to conserve his strength and store up his energy. Yes, store up his essence... with the emphasis on the first part.
After some idle chatter, Shen Fanyun bid Li Huanhuan goodbye. On his way, he saw Wen Ruyue holding an emergency press conference on a large outdoor screen at a shopping mall.
This once top-tier superstar appeared before the television cameras. Her makeup was clearly applied to make her look gaunt, and she was a sobbing mess. She cried with such heart-wrenching sobs, her body trembling in utter grief. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought her parents had just died. It was a pitiful sight, enough to make viewers weep and listeners grieve.
Then came Wen Ruyue's confession, where she admitted to some misdeeds, denied others, and blamed the rest on youthful naivety or being led astray.
In short, she was an unsullied white lotus—proud, pure, and untainted by a single speck of dust.
In short, she, Wen Ruyue, bore no responsibility whatsoever for this sudden scandal.
In short, she, Wen Ruyue, was also a complete victim, and it was simply unreasonable to lay all the blame on her!
Following that, Wen Ruyue dodged the crucial points and declared that she would be stricter with herself in the future, striving to present a more perfect image that met everyone's expectations.
One had to admit, a woman's tears could be incredibly powerful at times, even producing an instant effect.
Her crying immediately garnered widespread sympathy and concern from the public.
"Star Wen is such a kind person. She would never do something like that. Ah, she must have been framed."
"My judgment is never wrong. I could tell at a glance that Star Wen was wronged!"
"Only someone who has been truly wronged could cry so heartbreakingly."
"I hope Star Wen handles what comes next and can return to a normal life soon. You can do it!"
A group of passers-by nodded and voiced their opinions, unanimously agreeing that Wen Ruyue wasn't that kind of person. After all, they weren't blind. Their judgment of character was razor-sharp, and Wen Ruyue was one hundred percent the wronged party!
Shen Fanyun helplessly shook his head. Some ordinary people are just that foolish, so easily led by the nose after just a few words. If these people were sold, they would probably still happily count the money for their traffickers, basking in self-satisfied gullibility.
Shen Fanyun lit a cigarette. Is Wen Ruyue being too presumptuous? Can a scandal like this really be settled with a single press conference? After ruining so many young girls, does she think she can just claim she was deceived, walk away, and continue to lord over the entertainment industry? And what about the girls whose lives she destroyed? Will they get any real compensation or the apology they deserve?
He made a call to Zhan Feng. "You can send it in now."
Zhan Feng clearly understood Shen Fanyun's implication. "Understood."
After parting with Shen Fanyun, Li Huanhuan returned home.
The Li family was also wealthy in Hangcheng City. While not on par with top figures like Han Long, their financial situation was far from obscure.
As soon as she walked through the front door, Li Huanhuan caught sight of a familiar and utterly distasteful figure.
The man was being cordially entertained by her father, sitting in the living room drinking tea. He had his legs crossed, the very picture of smug complacency.
Li Huanhuan was dumbstruck. Lu Shifeng? Why is this guy in my house? Don't tell me he followed me home?
She could have never imagined that right after a verbal showdown with Lu Shifeng, he would show up at her house.
A coincidence? This is way too much of a coincidence. Could it be that this vindictive man actually investigated me, found my address, and immediately came to my family's home? His purpose could only be to call me to account!
"Hmm?" Lu Shifeng's gaze shifted, and the moment he spotted Li Huanhuan, his expression darkened with displeasure.
Still, annoyance aside, it was clear he was also very surprised.
"Huanhuan, this is Young Master Lu from the Lu family. Come and say hello," Li Huanhuan's father, Li Zhao, said with a smile, introducing the guest.
Lu Shifeng turned his head. "This is your daughter?"
"Yes, indeed. This is my daughter."
Lu Shifeng, "…"
Li Huanhuan, "…"
"Heh, it's true what they say: foes are bound to cross paths."
"You little thing, to think you're a girl from the Li family, heh." Lu Shifeng revealed a meaningful smile.
Then his face grew cold. "Now that you know who I am, aren't you going to serve me tea immediately?"
"What are you just standing there for? Get over here!"
"Have you always been this disrespectful, Li Huanhuan? I'll remember that name."
Previously, Lu Shifeng had taken the initiative to get to know Li Huanhuan, only to be flatly rejected. Not only that, but she had also berated him—a pampered young master of the Lu family—with a tone and demeanor that sought to grind him into the dust.
Now, Lu Shifeng finally knew her full name.
Li Huanhuan was startled by Lu Shifeng's sudden attack.
Her father, Li Zhao, was also baffled, glancing from Li Huanhuan to Lu Shifeng.
What was going on here? From their tone, it sounded like there was some bad blood between them. Furthermore, Lu Shifeng was looking at Li Huanhuan out of the corner of his eye, his annoyance plain to see.
"I'm not in a good mood. I'm going to rest," Li Huanhuan said dismissively, changing her shoes and intending to head to her bedroom.
Lu Shifeng was clearly here with ill intentions. Plus, judging by her father's attitude, he held this man in high esteem, bordering on reverence. It would be best to keep her distance.
"Stop right there."
"Are you that ignorant of the rules?"
"We have a guest, yet you don't even have basic manners? You're just going to ignore him? Do you have any upbringing at all?"
"Li Zhao, is this the daughter you raised?"
How could Lu Shifeng miss this golden opportunity to give Li Huanhuan a hard time? Not only was Li Huanhuan reprimanded, but even Li Zhao was inexplicably caught in the crossfire and lectured.
"What did I do?" Li Huanhuan's temper flared. "I'm in a bad mood. Can't I even rest when I get home?"
"My father is entertaining you, isn't he? Why are you making such a big deal out of everything?"
"Do you want the whole world to revolve around you?"
Her impression of Lu Shifeng wasn't very good to begin with: greasy and presumptuous. Now she could add arrogant and a power-tripping bully to the list.
So what if he was the young master of the Lu family? He was just a guy with one head and two arms, wasn't he? Was he a member of the imperial kinsmen and nobles, that the whole world had to bow and scrape before him? His ego is enormous!
"Huanhuan, don't talk nonsense," Li Zhao hurriedly interjected.
This was a man from the Imperial Capital Lu Family, a family with a distinguished background. Given the Li family's stature, they absolutely could not afford to offend him. Moreover, being able to host Young Master Lu was an honor for the Li family. Why would they ever offend their guest? That was just asking for trouble.
"Young Master Lu, my daughter isn't usually like this. She must have run into some trouble today and is in a bad mood."
"Please bear with her. I'll treat you to a meal later," Li Zhao said with an apologetic smile, trying to placate Lu Shifeng.
Lu Shifeng thoughtfully appraised Li Huanhuan's explosive figure and beautiful face.
A woman like this was far more tempting than the garish and vulgar socialites of Capital City.
It had been a long time since Lu Shifeng had felt so stirred. A girl like this… I must have her. I've already figured out exactly how to enjoy a night of passion with Li Huanhuan!
"When it comes to meals, it's better for young people to be together. They have more to talk about." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
"How about this: your daughter can accompany me. As for you, old man, just stay home," Lu Shifeng said, explicitly demanding Li Huanhuan's company.
"In your dreams," Li Huanhuan spat before turning and leaving.
What a piece of trash, thinking I'll accompany him to a meal just because he says so? I'm not some kind of service staff. Who does he think he is, ordering me around?
Lu Shifeng, "…"
Li Zhao, "…"
"Li Zhao, is this your daughter?"
"I spoke kindly and even took the initiative to give her an out, just asking her to have a meal with me."
"And this is her attitude?" Lu Shifeng exploded. With a loud SMACK, he slammed the cup down on the table, glaring at Li Zhao.
"Do you think my Lu family is full of good-tempered people? Or do you simply look down on us?"
Li Zhao was at a loss for words. How had things come to this?
"Young Master Lu, please, calm down! Please!" Li Zhao bowed obsequiously, his expression grave.
After all, this was the Lu family from Capital City. If they offended him too deeply, the entire Li family would be implicated.
"My daughter must be in a bad mood. She didn't mean to offend you."
"How about this, I'll go have a word with her," Li Zhao suggested, asking Lu Shifeng to wait a little longer.
Once I talk some sense into Huanhuan, she'll naturally agree to accompany him. Besides, what girl could bear to refuse a man as handsome and charming as Young Master Lu?
"Hmph. At least you, old man, know how to behave," Lu Shifeng sneered, crossing his legs again.
A cold smile played on his lips. I thought this Li Huanhuan was some high and mighty creature, but it turns out she's just small fry. I refuse to believe that with Li Zhao stepping in, she'll dare to keep resisting and not give me, the Young Master of the Lu family, some face. Dare to refuse me? She must have a death wish! Acting like some pure maiden… hah, how ridiculous!
