Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 440 - 438: Why Should I

"I’m very sure, I won’t be wrong. I specifically inquired and investigated, including all of us who attended the party that day, none had a good time.

Someone got exposed with black material and cyberbullied until they quit the circle, someone’s role changed or their show was canceled, and people like me got shelved and couldn’t get any notice, while He Junbo got into big trouble. Who do you think, other than Lu, has that kind of power?"

Lin Wanwan felt a strange sensation rising in her heart, and exclaimed, "How could it be? How would Teacher Lu know the details of the party, and you all are in the entertainment industry, he’s just someone who sells antiques..."

At that time, she didn’t elaborate, she couldn’t even remember the people at that table.

Chen Jinyu bitterly smiled, "Wanwan, what does Times Group mean, don’t tell me you really don’t know."

Lin Wanwan was surprised, "What’s its relationship with Times Group?"

Chen Jinyu scrutinized Lin Wanwan for a long time, seeing her expression not pretending, before sighing, "Wanwan, Wanwan, you’ve attended their mother’s birthday banquet, haven’t you checked their identity? Don’t you know the name of Times Group’s founder?"

"Lu Xingjian?"

Times Group’s founder Lu Xingjian, a figure in Forbes Asia’s rankings, who doesn’t know this name, it’s basically well-known.

Lin Wanwan was greatly stunned, realizing Lu Shouyue might be Lu Xingjian’s son.

But why would Lu Shouyue open an antique shop in Yongcheng rather than joining Times Group’s headquarters in Hai City?

Lin Wanwan never connected Lu Shouyue with such a big shot, after all, one is lofty in the sky, and the other is part of real life contacts.

The world has many people with the surname Lu, how could a wealthy second-generation of Lu be related to someone like Lu Xingjian?

But on second thought, she should’ve connected them earlier, considering Lu Shouyue and Wang Bocheng have a good relationship, and the latter’s identity as the only son of an internet giant is widely known.

However, Wang Bocheng shows off too much, he’s really high-profile online, with many friends, tangled in relationships with female web influencers, and having many CP groups with male celebrities. Plus, Wang Bocheng said he never looked at someone’s status when making friends, which led Lin Wanwan to misjudge and not think further.

Lin Wanwan pulled out her phone and searched for Lu Xingjian, his photo and profile immediately appeared on Baidu Baike. Indeed, the person in the photo was Lu’s father whom she ate with earlier.

After knowing Lu Shouyue’s identity, Lin Wanwan felt a moment of unreality, but quickly calmed down, shrugged, and said, "Even if Teacher Lu is Lu Xingjian’s son, so what? We’re now in a society governed by law, do you think this is Korea, where conglomerates control the entertainment industry?

Jinyu, are you thinking too much? I think Teacher Lu wouldn’t be so bored. If you really feel you’ve been treated unfairly in your current company, wouldn’t directly finding Wang Bocheng be simpler? He was there too today."

Though Lin Wanwan said that, she actually believed Chen Jinyu’s inference in her heart. She just wouldn’t agree to be involved further with Chen Jinyu, and didn’t want to drag Lu Shouyue into it, hence pretends innocence deliberately.

No matter what, speaking to Lu Shouyue for Chen Jinyu is something she couldn’t do—what a nerve!

If Lu Shouyue did this, he must’ve been seeking justice for her drugging incident, how could she backstab him?

Not to mention the others at the party who were innocent, innocent or not—what does it have to do with Lin Wanwan? She knew she was almost ruined herself.

If Lu Shouyue didn’t know about this matter at all, and she goes to ask rashly, wouldn’t it be a joke?

Why should she do such an awkward thing for someone who stabbed her nothing?

Regarding her friendship with Chen Jinyu, Lin Wanwan had long let go.

Seeing Lin Wanwan’s attitude, Chen Jinyu anxiously reached out to grab her arm, showing a pleading expression, "Wanwan, my dear Wanwan, I beg you, just help me one more time. With your relationship with Lu, he will definitely agree to it."

Lin Wanwan pulled her arm away, frowned, and resolutely refused, "Chen Jinyu, the most expensive thing in this world is a favor. Why should I exhaust favors for you, for almost harming me? Sorry, I can’t do that, I’m powerless to help with your matters, excuse me."

After speaking, she walked away without looking back.

Chen Jinyu stood still with a pale and angry face, she never expected Lin Wanwan to have such a temper now, turning her face when she said so.

Clearly, the year they graduated, everyone promised, "If we get rich, don’t forget each other," but now that she’s reached the upper class, she despises the sisters who helped her before!

Lu Shouyue, who had been observing Lin Wanwan’s actions, saw her leaning alone on the railing at this moment, made an apologetic gesture to his companion, and walked straight towards Lin Wanwan.

"Wanwan, what’s wrong? You look a bit displeased; did you have a disagreement with a friend?" Lu Shouyue took two cups of milk tea from a passing server’s tray and handed one to Lin Wanwan.

"Thank you." Lin Wanwan accepted the milk tea, took a sip, swallowed, and then said, "The time I was drugged and saved by you was because of Chen Jinyu. I, although not someone who avenges everything, am absolutely not a saint; it’s really hard to restore friendship with her."

Lu Shouyue smiled slightly, "She indeed doesn’t deserve to be your friend, such a person, it’s okay not to care. Wanwan, standing so long, aren’t you tired? Want to go back to the suite to rest for a while, have a nap, then get up for dinner?"

Lin Wanwan shook her head, "No need, here are so many rich beautiful ladies, all are potential customers of my shop, rare opportunity, I want to meet more people."

Lu Shouyue laughed, "Oh, you have such ambition, would you like me to introduce some to you?"

Lin Wanwan chuckled, "No need, let me approach them myself."

Just as talking, a graceful lady with an exceptionally stunning mixed-race beauty approached them, greeting from afar in English, "Jin, you are here."

Lu Shouyue turned to see who had arrived, and his expression instantly cooled, responded in lukewarm Chinese, "Hmm, anything?"

The graceful lady and the mixed-race beauty came forward, the former smiled and also spoke in Chinese, "Come, let Auntie introduce you; this is Annie Wang, the second princess of Feiniao Shoes; Annie, this is my outstanding nephew, Lu Shouyue. You young people should have lots to talk about."

The mixed-race beauty extended her slender hand towards Lu Shouyue, fully treating Lin Wanwan as air, and smilingly introduced herself in imperfect Chinese, "Hello, I’m Annie, pleased to meet you."

Lu Shouyue simply shook her fingers lightly and spoke blandly, "Hello, Lu Shouyue."
