"So, aren't you afraid that this estrangement will push him towards the enemy?"
Meng Wanyu pursed her lips.
His slender fingers traced the corner of his mouth before slowly lowering them.
In the end, she said nothing and ended the call.
……
Before the banquet ended, Lu Chengzhou gave the ring away.
He didn't say anything extra, only mentioning that he was the winery's acting owner.
However, it was obvious that Mrs. Jin knew him.
nonsense!
How could I not recognize you?
The big boss praises him three hundred times a day in the group chat, practically worshipping him as a god of business. Even if the several powerful families in the alliance didn't want to know Lu Chengzhou, it would be difficult for them!
So, could there be something wrong with this ring that was given to us by the god of commerce?
Mrs. Jin examined the ring, her mind filled with questions.
Unable to make up her mind, she decided to ask the big boss for his opinion.
The big boss was currently unable to eat or drink, hoping that Lu Chengzhou would take the initiative to contact him.
Instead, all I received was a call from Mrs. Jin, along with her explanation about the ring.
Big Boss: "You mean, he gave you a ruby ring?"
Mrs. Jin: "Yes...yes?"
She was a little unsure.
The other party's fervent tone made her think that what they were giving her might not be a ruby ring, but some kind of supernatural artifact like Ultraman's transformation device.
She had to examine the ring more closely.
However, with her keen eye, it was indeed difficult to tell that the ring setting had been tampered with.
Her gaze was already dazzled by the brilliance of the gemstones.
The big boss said, "Keep this safe! Who knows, you might be able to make a fortune with it in the future!"
Mrs. Jin: "Huh?"
The big boss said, "Take myself as an example. I've treated Mr. Lu so well, and he still hasn't given me a ring!"
Mrs. Jin: "..."
No, you're a man.
Is it reasonable for one man to give another man a ring?
The big boss said, "In short, this can be considered Mr. Lu's affirmation of your Jin family, so you can wear it with peace of mind."
After hanging up the phone, Mrs. Jin was quite bewildered.
She's almost forty years old, is it appropriate for her to wear a ring given to her by a young man in his twenties?
However, to be fair, the ring is indeed well made.
"I don't know if this young man did it on purpose or it was just a coincidence, but he managed to give me such a thoughtful gift."
Just as Sister Meng said, Madam Jin originally liked gemstones.
Now that the big boss has said that, she feels even more strongly that the gemstone ring is beautiful and she should keep it.
I put it on my finger before even leaving the house.
"Mrs. Jin, this ring is beautiful. Did your husband give it to you?"
"Huh? No..."
"Oh! But this ring is really beautiful."
"Really? I think so too."
When seeing the guests off, Mrs. Jin would always chat with these ladies.
When the conversation casually turned to the ring on her hand, the women began to compliment her.
Mrs. Jin's vanity was greatly satisfied.
When Sister Meng walked past her, she also took a special look at her ring and, along with everyone else, praised its beauty.
"Oh dear, it's not that pretty, is it?"
Mrs. Jin wiggled her slender fingers.
"You're praising me so much, it makes me feel embarrassed."
Sister Meng smiled and said, "You should keep it carefully."
"That's natural."
As she stepped out from under the lights of the venue, the smile on Sister Meng's face gradually faded.
This move was indeed the right one.
If the ring had been a gift from the Meng family, Madam Jin would never have worn it to flaunt it.
In a sense, this move did indeed confirm that the two sisters had taken advantage of Lu Chengzhou.
As a result, Sister Meng felt even more guilty.
Back at her hotel, before she even entered the room, she could hear the sounds of people playing cards inside.
Pushing open the door, I saw Aisha and Vanilla, each with many notes stuck to their faces, playing cards with Lu Chengzhou.
Lu Chengzhou smiled slightly and said, "You're back?"
It's easy to tell when a woman has a guilty conscience or remorse on her face.
However, Lu Chengzhou pretended not to see it and continued playing cards with the girls.
Sister Meng walked past him several times, pretending to look for something, trying to talk to him about this matter, but she didn't know where to start.
When Elsa saw her humble appearance, she couldn't help but sigh.
The older sister doesn't have the same resilience as her younger sister, nor does she know how to hide her emotions.
Most importantly, in terms of presence, she was far weaker than Lu Chengzhou.
That bastard Lu Chengzhou...
Thinking about his purpose in inviting them over to play cards tonight, Aisha couldn't help but glare at Lu Chengzhou again.
On the one hand, she does not mind playing with him.
On the other hand, she felt that he was doing this to deliberately provoke the young lady.
As the young lady's bodyguard, she couldn't help but feel angry on her behalf.
Ok……
What a contradictory feeling!
Vanilla was more relaxed and didn't think too much about it; she was simply there to play cards.
Sister Meng paced back and forth in the room, and finally, she lay down on the bed, saying nothing and not moving at all.
Lu Chengzhou glanced at her, his eyes filled with a complex expression.
"Alright, let's not disturb her sleep anymore, let's go back."
Vanilla was the first to put down her cards.
As she got up to leave, she even felt guilty, thinking that if Lu Chengzhou and the Meng sisters were to completely break off their relationship, she might have a chance.
However, she abandoned this idea of finding a bargain the moment she stepped out the door.
Finding a bargain?
That's really unnecessary.
She's a successful businesswoman with everything she could want, so why would she need to pick up men?
Elsa glanced at her and snorted coldly, as if she could see right through her little schemes.
"Miss Vanilla, do you think you can beat Jiang Aiyu in a fight?"
"That can't be right."
"So, do you think you can beat me?"
"No way, right?"
Vanilla looked up at her: "Why are you asking that?"
Elsa smiled without saying a word.
Vanilla immediately became alert: "You don't actually think you can get involved in this competition, do you?"
Elsa's smile froze again.
"I never said that!"
"But that's what you think."
"That's not what I thought either!"
"You're in a hurry."
"I don't!"
"Look, you're getting even more anxious."
Elsa clenched her fists, wishing she could punch her right then and there.
However, the more anger she harbored, the more she restrained herself.
In the end, he simply quickened his pace and moved away from this slightly cunning little girl.
Vanilla gained the upper hand in a verbal sparring match.
