Beijing Marriage Entanglement

Lu Xingci turned to the side and looked up at Jiang Wenzhao.

Eyes facing each other.

A moment later, Lu Xingci gave up and joked.

"Okay, then thank you, Mr. Jiang. I promise I will work even harder to make money for you and make the company bigger and stronger."

Jiang Wenzhao corrected her.

"It's our company."

As he spoke, he naturally bumped Lu Xingci with his shoulder.

Jiang Wenzhao walked to the car door, opened the passenger door, and gestured for the passenger to enter.

"Please, Vice President Lu."

"puff!"

Lu Xingci covered her mouth and laughed out loud, then looked up and glared at Jiang Wenzhao reproachfully.

In the corner, a camera was pointed at the two of them, clicking away incessantly.

The man looked at the photos in the camera and smiled with satisfaction.

As soon as Jiang Wenzhao drove out of the furniture store's underground parking garage, Xu Zhiwei called.

Lu Xingci answered the phone and immediately put it on speakerphone.

"Are you off work yet?"

"I'm off. I didn't even eat lunch today in order to get rid of Jiang Wenzhao. I'm just waiting for this meal tonight."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wenzhao smiled and joked.

"Why didn't you start a hunger strike yesterday? That way you could have taken even more money from me."

"That won't do. I'll get depressed if I don't eat for more than a day."

"You're so vicious, I suddenly don't trust Xingci to partner with you anymore."

Jiang Wenzhao rolled her eyes in a way that Xu Zhiwei couldn't see.

Lu Xingci smiled and took over the conversation.

"We just came from the furniture store. It's very close to your place, about a ten-minute walk. You can pack your things and come downstairs now."

"Okay, I'll pack my things and get ready to go downstairs now."

Xu Zhiwei's company belongs to the Shen family.

Overtime used to be the norm; everyone worked very hard and was very dedicated.

Of course, the compensation is also very generous.

Therefore, despite the high work pressure, the turnover rate is very low.

But in the past month, it seems the roles have been reversed.

Xu Zhiwei has a lot of free time; she leaves work as soon as it's time to get off work every day.

Lu Xingci was always busy with the new company, and even his three meals a day were just boxed lunches.

The car stopped downstairs at the company building. Lu Xingci rolled down the passenger window and reached out to Xu Zhiwei in the distance.

"Vivi!"

She called out, and Xu Zhiwei looked up, smiled, waved at her, and jogged over.

I opened the back door and got in.

I had barely settled down when I heard her sigh.

"What's wrong?" Lu Xingci turned around and looked at her, asking with concern.

Our boss is away on a business trip for a month.

You have no idea how relaxed and carefree we've been this past month.

"Isn't that great?"

"It's good, but the good days are over. According to reliable sources, the big boss will be back in the next day or two."

Cherish this happy time tonight, because it won't be so easy to ask me out again later.

Xu Zhiwei majored in design in college, but after graduation she went on to work in marketing planning.

This job lasted for several years.

According to her, although she wasn't promoted, she wasn't fired either.

She is very satisfied with the salary offered by the Shen Group and plans to work there until retirement.

Jiang Wenzhao gripped the steering wheel and glanced at Xu Zhiwei through the rearview mirror upon hearing this.

"Who is your big boss?"

"Shen Yu, you don't know?"

Jiang Wenzhao shook his head. "I don't know."

As he said this, he subconsciously looked at Lu Xingci in the passenger seat.

He still remembers the look in Shen Yu's eyes when he looked at Lu Xingci that evening in the breeze; it was anything but innocent.

Full of possessiveness.

Lu Xingci heard Shen Yu's name again after a month.

For no apparent reason, my heart skipped a beat.

She subconsciously touched her backpack.

The ring Shen Yu gave me is still in my bag.

Since that day they parted, she had never had the chance to see Shen Yu again, nor had she ever had the chance to return the ring to him.

Unexpectedly, he went abroad.

"Be my Mrs. Shen."

"You will need this marriage."

Shen Yu's deep, magnetic voice inexplicably flooded into his mind, and Lu Xingci woke up as if from a dream, raising his eyes.

Meeting Jiang Wenzhao's scrutinizing gaze, she spoke with suspicion.

"What's wrong?"

"You don't look well, are you alright?"

Lu Xingci shook his head. "No, I'm probably just too tired lately."

"Then once the company's preliminary preparations are complete, you should take a few days to rest."

Lu Xingci pursed her lips and responded very softly.

"Um."

In the back row, Xu Zhiwei rested her hands on the two seats, glancing at Jiang Wenzhao and then at Lu Xingci.

She frowned in suspicion.

"Why do I feel like I'm the third wheel when you guys are acting like this?"

"You two haven't been having an affair behind my back all this time, have you?"

Jiang Wenzhao smiled without saying a word, his heart filled with joy.

Lu Xingci immediately retorted.

"I think you've been starving for too long, and your mind isn't clear anymore."

"We're sisters, how could we be having an affair?"

Xu Zhiwei nodded, "That's true. You two can't be together, otherwise I'll lose two good girlfriends all at once."

Jiang Wenzhao glanced at Xu Zhiwei through the rearview mirror.

"Who said we're best friends? I'm a guy. Can't you please acknowledge my gender?"

Xu Zhiwei shook her head.

"Can't even face a little bit of reality."

As she spoke, she secretly tugged at Lu Xingci.

Lu Xingci echoed this sentiment.

"Yeah, we can't even face a little bit of it."

The three of them chatted and laughed all the way to the Western restaurant.

Jiang Wenzhao ordered French food.

After giving their names, the three of them were led to their seats by the waiter.

While Jiang Wenzhao was ordering food, Xu Zhiwei pulled Lu Xingci aside and started gossiping about the company.

As they talked, the conversation turned to the big boss, Shen Yu.

"You don't know, I heard that the big boss went abroad this time for a big overseas acquisition."

I heard them say that if this acquisition goes through, the Shen family's status and wealth will reach a new level.

Other wealthy families, such as the Ruan family and the Qin family, all have to rank behind the Shen family.

The Shen family is undoubtedly the most powerful and wealthy family in Beijing.

Lu Xingci blinked as he looked at Xu Zhiwei.

"When did you become so interested in the affairs of Beijing's elite circles?"

Xu Zhiwei tilted her head back and pinched Lu Xingci's nose.

"You heartless bastard, was I concerned about the elite circles in Beijing?"

"Isn't the reason I care so much about the big boss's movements because of you?"

"Me? What do I have to do with Shen Yu?"

Xu Zhiwei tilted her head and revealed a mischievous smile.

"Whether it matters or not, don't you know better than I do, Mrs. Shen!"

Lu Xingci only told Xu Zhiwei about Shen Yu asking her to marry him.

But it wasn't something he said voluntarily.

It was during a meal that Xu Zhiwei rummaged through her bag for lipsticks and saw the ring.

Lu Xingci then briefly recounted to Xu Zhiwei what Shen Yu had said at her house that day.

Lu Xingci frowned, pushed her away, and reminded her in a low voice.

"Don't talk nonsense. I didn't agree, and I have no intention of agreeing."

Song Qinghui's mother kept a close watch on me, afraid that I would take advantage of the Song family.

Not to mention a top-tier wealthy family like the Shen family.

Xu Zhiwei moved closer to Lu Xingci.

"While that's true, I still think you should seriously consider it."

Marrying Shen Yu would be entirely beneficial for you.

He was good-looking, had a good temperament and a good figure. More importantly, the Shen family was more than one level above the Song family.

If you marry Shen Yu and become Mrs. Shen, Song Qinghui and his mother will have to respectfully call you "Mrs. Shen" whenever they see you.

Just thinking about it makes me feel awesome!
