Chapter 33

Shen Jiayan muttered, "Isn't it because you were worried about running alone at school? Who knew you'd call someone else instead!" You'd rather call someone else than him!

"I didn't call them, really," Shen Luoluo said, looking at the two people laughing happily beside her. "And what are you two doing here too?"

Qi Yang raised an eyebrow. "You're going to run the 800 meters to bring glory to the class, so as your deskmate, of course I have to support you."

He handed the water he had just bought to Shen Luoluo.

"Thanks." Shen Luoluo naturally accepted the water he offered. When they ate lunch together, Qi Yang often bought her drinks, sometimes milk tea. Chen Jiashu would also buy drinks for Qin Shiyue, and they would occasionally treat her back. They didn't feel there was anything wrong with it.

To Shen Jiayan's surprise, his eyes widened in anger! How could he not have thought that his sister would be thirsty while running and should have bought her water! This scoundrel beat him to it; what a cunning man, he's definitely up to no good!

Shen Luoluo was unaware of the inexplicable hostility between the two. Since they were going to wait here, there was nothing she could do. "Then you two wait here. I'll run two more laps."

"Sister, I'll run with you!" Shen Jiayan glared angrily at Qi Yang.

Watching the two figures gradually disappear into the distance, Chen Jiashu his hand on Qi Yang's shoulder and said, "Qi Yang, wouldn't you say you've offended your future brother-in-law?"

Qi Yang seemed to realize something only then, "It seems so, what should we do?"

Chen Jiashu's eyes widened. He had only been joking, but he hadn't expected Qi Yang to admit it. But then again, if Qi Yang wasn't interested in Shen Luoluo, he wouldn't have let her into his circle so easily, and she would be buying water for him every day, forcing him to buy water for Qin Shiyue as well. She was so inconsiderate!

He said, half-jokingly and half-seriously, "What should we do? Invite him to dinner to improve our relationship, and make sure he doesn't bully people like that next time."

After finishing her run, Shen Luoluo was invited by the two men to have barbecue, saying it was to apologize to Shen Jiayan.

Shen Jiayan neither agreed nor refused, tilting his head back high and breathing through his nostrils.

They'd already offered him a way out, but he still wouldn't take it. Knowing his proud and arrogant personality, Shen Luoluo helped him agree.

They saw the eldest son of the Lu Family and his father's new wife arguing on the street where they were eating barbecue.

Chapter 33

◎Is the son having an affair with his stepmother?◎

The Barbecue Restaurant chosen by Qi Yang and Chen Jiashu was not far from the school; it was just across the street and around the corner, and the four of them walked there.

This is Old District Redevelopment Streets Jing City that has been renovated. All the streets in this area have been transformed into a uniform style. Almost all the street entrances and alleyways are the same. If it weren't for Qi Yang and the others leading the way, Shen Luoluo felt that she would definitely get lost here.

As the group passed by one of the alleyways, they saw Lu Yanxing, the eldest son of the Lu Family, come out of a house, followed by his father's new wife, who was also his stepmother.

As soon as she came out, she grabbed his suit sleeve. "Lu Yanxing, you can't treat me like this! You chose her, but what about me? What am I supposed to do? Have you even thought about what I'm going to do in the future? You started this whole thing!"

Lu Yanxing flung her hand away. "Who provoked whom? You should do what you need to do, go back to being the Lu Family's wife, and stop bothering me!"

The four stared in shock at the scene before them. Their son and stepmother were having an affair? But no matter how they looked at it, it seemed like the son was the scumbag who had betrayed his stepmother, provoked her, and now wanted to kick her aside.

"Let's go, there's nothing to see here." Chen Jiashu took the lead and started walking forward.

Shen Luoluo then remembered that Zhao Yuan had mentioned the Marriage Alliance the Lu Family and Chen Family a couple of days ago, Chen Jiashu happened to have the surname Chen!

However, Chen Jiashu also saw Lu Yanxing and his stepmother's ambiguous and intimate relationship; could he really tolerate it?

The four arrived at the Barbecue Restaurant, chose a seat, and Qi Yang asked about a few dishes they wanted to eat before ordering.

Chen Jiashu noticed Shen Luoluo's hesitation and asked, "Are you trying to say that if Lu Yanxing is like that with other women, why should our Chen Family still Marriage Alliance with them?"

Shen Luoluo nodded, "[Are my feelings that obvious?]"

Shen Jiayan:...

Yes, it's obvious, written all over their faces.

Shen Jiayan was also puzzled, but that was someone else's business, and he couldn't be bothered with it.

Chen Jiashu was completely unconcerned, shrugging his shoulders. "It's normal, because she's my uncle's daughter, and she doesn't really have anything to do with our family."

"They're both people who use their sons' and daughters' lifelong happiness as tools for the Marriage Alliance. In a sense, their two families are quite well-matched."

He chuckled, "But judging from the current situation, it's hard to say whether this marriage alliance will even take place."

Just then, Qi Yang returned after ordering and brought everyone a bottle of Coke.

Shen Jiayan pushed away the Coke in front of Shen Luoluo, acting extremely arrogant. "My sister doesn't like Coke. Do you have Soy Milk? She likes Soy Milk. If not, Orange Juice will do."

Shen Luoluo was startled. Her younger brother was truly fearless, like a newborn calf. The opponent was a super villain with maximum violence, yet he dared to push his luck and ask for a drink in return!

She could actually accept anything without being picky, and was just about to speak.

To everyone's surprise, Qi Yang replied in a very good mood the next second, "There's Orange Juice, I'll go get it."

Chen Jiashu raised an eyebrow. It was rare to see Qi Yang so good-tempered. If it were before, if anyone dared to speak to Young Master Qi like that, the cola on the table would have been thrown at his face, and he would have been punched a few times.

He flicked his finger, opened a bottle of cola, and handed it to Shen Jiayan. "Little brother, you should thank your sister properly. If it weren't for her, you'd be bleeding by now."

Unfortunately, Shen Jiayan didn't understand the meaning behind his words at all. She looked at him warily and said, "I knew you guys were up to no good by inviting me and my sister to eat. What exactly do you want?"

Shen Luoluo quickly grabbed a skewer of grilled squid and stuffed it into his mouth, saying, "Eat more and talk less! You'd better not kill yourself."

Shen Jiayan was unaware of his true intentions, which is why she was so audacious. She had witnessed Qi Yang beating people, including Sheng Mingzhou, stepping on him while laughing so happily the entire time. His inability to understand his emotions was even more chilling. He seemed to have a good temper now, but who knew what he would do next? A villain isn't a villain if he doesn't have some kind of illness.
