64 Enemies Meet Again
“So you remember my birthday.”
She heard a familiar voice from the shop entrance. Many shop assistants were attracted by his voice and exclaimed at the man’s handsome appearance.
However, Shen Yin and Li Zi frowned simultaneously and looked impatiently at this fly that insisted on buzzing around them.
Lu Chen walked closer to Shen Yin with a smile and looked at what she was holding. He smiled mockingly and said, “You’ve been pretending not to care. Looks like you still can’t forget about me. Shen Yin, I didn’t expect you to be so hypocritical.”
“I think you’re getting more and more shameless” Shen Yin could not understand why Lu Chen kept hovering around her, like an irritating fly.
“What do you mean?” Lu Chen’s expression darkened as he glared at Shen Yin, as if he wanted to look right through her.
“With your IQ, no wonder you can’t understand what I mean. I’ll be kind and tell you that I’m not buying this gift for you. I’m buying it for my boyfriend.” Shen Yin snorted and pulled Li Zi to the counter to settle the bill.
Lu Chen was stunned. After a while, he came back to his senses. He stared fixedly at the back of Shen Yin’s head and asked, “Is it the man who picked you up from work yesterday?”
Shen Yin was so irritated that she did not even turn around. She said in annoyance. “So what if it is? What business is it of yours?”
She took the wrapped gift box and turned around to frown at Lu Chen, who was blocking her way. “Young Master Lu, you’re too narcissistic. Do you think you’re the center of the universe? Why should I insist on being with you? I’m sorry to say, but after I left you, I realized that there are plenty of good men, most of whom are better than you. In fact, I should thank you for giving me my freedom.”
Lu Chen spat out, “Fine.” Then, he left the shop without a backward glance.
Li Zi cheered and grabbed Shen Yin’s shoulder. “Well done, sis. We should make a self-centered scumbag like him realize the truth. Does he still think he’s a heartthrob? Lian Jing is many times better than him. Only that shameless Yun Shan would fancy someone like him.”
Speaking of Yun Shan, Shen Yin suddenly remembered that Yun Shan had lied to her that day. She could not let it go. She had been so busy over the last few days that she had forgotten about this matter.
When Li Zi heard that Yun Shan had interfered when Nian Nian disappeared, she immediately gritted her teeth and cracked her knuckles, wanting to beat her up.
Shen Yin advised helplessly, “You’re a public officer. You must not hit anyone.”
Li Zi instantly deflated and her shoulders sagged. A moment later, she thought of something and suddenly perked up. She grabbed Shen Yin’s shoulders and shook them. “Didn’t you say that Yun Shan depends on Lian Jing to thrive in the entertainment industry?”
Shen Yin nodded. She instantly understood Li Zi’s meaning, but she was hesitant.
She could not be sure of Yun Shan’s standing in Lian Jing’s heart. Besides, the company’s interests were complicated. She would not be so thick-skinned as to think that Lian Jing would punish Yun Shan for her sake.
Li Zi did not have so many concerns. She took out Shen Yin’s phone and prepared to call Lian Jing.
Shen Yin hurriedly snatched the phone back. Li Zi knew what she was thinking. She secretly sighed to see how the usually swift and decisive Shen Yin had become so hesitant when it came to relationships.
Li Zi chuckled and bumped her shoulder. “Call Lian Jing and tell him what Yun Shan did that day. Let’s see what he does. Don’t worry, he will definitely help you. Nian Nian is his biological son, but Yun Shan dared to treat his disappearance like a joke. Lian Jing will definitely do something.”
Shen Yin thought about it and still felt awkward, but she really could not dissuade Li Zi. She was forced to send Lian Jing a message. “How do you plan to deal with Yun Shan?”
She thought that Lian Jing was busy, but less than a minute after sending the message, Shen Yin received Lian Jing’s reply. “Don’t worry, I’ve already gotten the company to cancel all our contracts with her. I’ve been busy these few days and forgot to tell you.”
Shen Yin could hear her heart thumping. Li Zi looked at her dazed expression in amusement and teased, “Well? How does it feel to have someone protect you?”
Shen Yin did not reply. After thinking for a while, she replied Lian Jing with a simple “Ok” out of courtesy. Then, she put away her cell phone and did not dare to look at it again.
