Five years without pregnancy means you're too weak; I remarried a powerful man and had triplets

This "other person" refers to both the shop assistant and herself.

"Sister Zhi, are you already acting like a diva before you've even become Mrs. Lu?" Su Manman's lips curled into a mocking smile. She looked at Shen Zhiyi and felt that the other woman was just like herself, both of them willing to sell themselves for money and power. She wondered how alluring she was in Mr. Lu's bed, able to bewitch him like this, even a divorced woman.

But thinking about it this way, Lu Zichuan is indeed an exceptional person.

Although Hsu Che-sheng is considered one of the better-looking directors, he still falls short compared to Lu Zi-chuan.

Their power and influence are far inferior to that of the Lu family.

Shen Zhiyi is really lucky. She comes from an ordinary family, first made a name for herself as an editor by working on Xu Zhesheng's movies, and now she has gotten close to the Lu family.

A glint of jealousy flashed in Su Manman's eyes, but she couldn't help thinking that if she could climb up to Lu Zichuan like her, even if she couldn't be his wife, just being his mistress would guarantee her a comfortable life for the rest of her days.

However, there isn't an opportunity yet...

If she gets the chance, she will definitely do better than Shen Zhiyi!

Right now, she still needs to keep Xu Zhesheng under control.

With that in mind, a plan quickly came to Su Manman's head.

She tugged at Xu Zhesheng's sleeve and sighed, "Forget it, Zhe, it seems Sister Zhi has hooked up with President Lu and is no longer on our side. I really should listen to you. Let's look at another place. My parents will like whatever they buy..."

However, the more she said this, the more Xu Zhesheng imagined Shen Zhiyi taking these things to meet Lu Zichuan's parents.

He couldn't accept it. Even though he didn't think Lu Zichuan and Shen Zhiyi would end up together, he still felt uncomfortable.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 1110 ...

He cannot accept Shen Zhiyi meeting his parents, and he cannot accept Shen Zhiyi standing next to him.

"No." He spoke softly, but his gaze remained glued to Shen Zhiyi like a leech. He took out a pocket watch from his pocket, placed it on the table, glanced at the shop assistant, and said, "Could we shop together with this?"

The shop assistant was initially dismissive; what could possibly compare to the second young master of the Lu Group? However, upon seeing the pocket watch, his expression suddenly changed. He picked it up in astonishment, examining it from all angles, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets. "This...this..."

She looked at Xu Zhesheng in disbelief, her previously arrogant expression suddenly turning respectful: "Sir, please wait a moment, I'll go find our manager to serve you."

While waiting, Su Manman asked curiously, "Ah Zhe, what did you give her that surprised her so much?"

Xu Zhesheng didn't answer her, his gaze remaining fixed on Shen Zhiyi: "Why did you buy all this stuff? Are you going to meet Lu Zichuan's parents? You don't really think he wants to be with you, do you?"

His tone remained arrogant and condescending, still showing him disdain.

Shen Zhiyi retorted, "What's it to you?"

She looked at the shop assistant: "Could you take me to the lounge?"

She wondered to herself, why hadn't Lu Zichuan returned after so long? Was something urgent? Should they still go to the Lu family's old residence today?

The shop assistant quickly picked up the items from the ground and pointed Shen Zhiyi in the right direction: "Miss Shen, please follow me."

Shen Zhiyi smiled gratefully at the shop assistant and followed her over.

Xu Zhesheng followed her, asking, "Are you really with him? Why? Didn't you used to hate rich playboys the most?"

During her university years, Shen Zhiyi was as beautiful as a pearl, and the men who pursued her stretched from her own school to other schools.

Among them are many wealthy second-generation heirs from prominent families. One of the most famous is the school heartthrob from the neighboring school. He is handsome, his mother is a business tycoon, and his father is a high-ranking government official. He is undeniably powerful.

That guy pursued her relentlessly, using all sorts of tricks to ask her out to dinner.

Xu Zhesheng once caught him doing this, but he didn't say anything at the time.

One day, finally fed up with Shen Zhiyi's persistent pestering, he snapped, "What do you see in me? I have no money, no power, I can't give you anything! So many guys are pursuing you, aren't they all better than me? That school heartthrob next door is handsome, rich, and powerful, wouldn't it be better if you were with him?"

That was the first time Shen Zhiyi's eyes welled up with tears in front of him.

It was raining heavily outside that day. She stood in the rain, soaked to the bone, and as she looked at him, the light in her eyes gradually faded.

"Yes, so many people pursued me, each one better than you." Her voice was hoarse, like sandpaper being scraped, "But none of them are you."

"I don't need a lot of money, and I certainly don't need power. Xu Zhesheng, I just want to live a simple and peaceful life with you."

"What's the use of rich kids? They're lazy and good-for-nothing, treating chasing girls like a game, and thinking they're so great every time they win one over."

Not everyone likes money.

After that day, Shen Zhiyi disappeared from his sight for a whole week.

Xu Zhesheng thought that without her harassment, he could finally settle down and focus on his studies without being distracted by anything.

For those seven days, he lost his appetite and could not sleep at night.

Even when I'm drawing storyboards in front of a camera while holding a book open, her image keeps replaying in my mind: the way she smiled with her head down, the way she frowned slightly when she was editing the film, and the shattered light in her eyes when she stood in the rain with red eyes and said, "They are not you."

He tried desperately to tell himself not to think about it, but the more he suppressed it, the clearer the figure became, as if it were engraved on his retina, so clear that he could see it even with his eyes closed.

On the third day, some of her roommates were chatting in the dormitory and happened to mention her name.

Xu Zhesheng appeared expressionless and continued to flip through the book, but in reality, his heart was pounding and he subconsciously slowed his breathing.

"Have you heard? Shen Zhiyi chased away all the men who were pursuing her!"

"What?! How did you do that?"

"She's really ruthless. First, she posted online that she already had someone she liked and wouldn't accept anyone's advances. Then, the school heartthrob next door didn't believe her and came to her building with flowers the next day. She just walked over and handed him a note. I don't know what was written on it, but the heartthrob turned green when he saw it and never went to see her again. He even helped her get rid of her other suitors."

At that time, Xu Zhesheng was very curious about what Shen Zhiyi had written on the note, but the two were still in a cold war, and he couldn't bring himself to ask. It wasn't until a week later, when she appeared in front of him again with a smile, that Xu Zhesheng's heart finally settled down.

Later, he asked her what she had written. Shen Zhiyi said, "I knew he was just betting on me and my brothers, so I made a list of his ex-girlfriends and attached it to a piece of paper, telling him that if he harassed me again, I would expose the list so that he would never be able to find a girlfriend again."
