In the corridor of the alley, a man wearing a cap was sitting shakily on the ground. Looking at the two men in front of him, he was almost scared out of his wits.
"Two bosses, those photos were really just casually taken by me. No one really instructed me!"
Apparently, this man was scared out of his wits. He was just an amateur photography enthusiast. He happened to be there at that time. Seeing this Chinese couple, he thought they were quite eye - catching, so he just took some casual shots.
Originally, out of boredom, he posted a few of his photography works on the social software. Then he received a private message from someone saying they wanted to buy the whole set of photos.
The price offered by the other party was quite high. Greedy for the money for a moment, he sent all the photos in his camera to the other person.
Assistant Song looked at the cap - wearing man who was almost scared to pee on the ground. After being sure that there was no lie in his words, he turned around and stood up straight.
"Mr. Lu, this man doesn't seem to be lying."
Lu Yan grunted. His steps were steady, and in the empty alley, they were especially clear.
Finally, a pair of shiny black leather shoes stopped in front of the cap - wearing man.
"Look up."
Lu Yan's tone was calm, with a hint of hidden danger.
The cap - wearing man then timidly looked up and saw the face of the man in front of him.
Just one look and he quickly lowered his head in fear.
Wasn't this the male protagonist in the set of photos he took! No wonder he was caught here!
"Show me the photos." Lu Yan remained calm, his voice steady.
The cap - wearing man didn't dare to be negligent. He quickly took out his phone from his pocket and offered it with both hands: "Here they are. These are all of them."
Lu Yan glanced at the screen and raised his eyebrows slightly.
They were actually quite nice.
Seeing Lu Yan remaining silent, the cap - wearing man shrank his neck in fear, swallowed hard, and quickly apologized first: "Big boss, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to offend you!"
"I just thought that in that atmosphere, you and your partner were perfect. I just took some casual shots. If I've caused you any discomfort, I'll go back and delete them all."
Hearing this, Lu Yan raised his eyebrows. His mood changed slightly, but his expression remained calm: "There's no need to delete them."
"Song Qin, collect and keep the photos well."
After Lu Yan finished speaking, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and slowly exhaled the smoke.
He was very casual, showing no sign of anger.
The cap - wearing man was also stunned. Knowing that he had offended someone he shouldn't have, he didn't dare to make a sound, waiting for the other person to continue.
Time passed slowly. It wasn't until Lu Yan finished smoking the cigarette that he slowly said, "Give me the contact information of the person who bought your photos, and you can leave."
Assistant Song beside him was a bit surprised.
After the cap - wearing man left gratefully, Assistant Song hesitated and asked, "Mr. Lu, is that it?"
He knew that Mr. Lu came here today to stand up for Miss Ning.
Lu Yan looked up, his voice calm: "The fault doesn't lie with him. There's no need to make things difficult for an ordinary person."
"Moreover, the identity of the other person is quite tricky and not easy to deal with."
That's right. The person who bought those photos was none other than Jiang Xixi.
Jiang Xixi wasn't really someone to be afraid of, but after all, she was the daughter of the Jiang family, and the Jiang family and the Ning family had always had a close relationship.
He wasn't going to push Ning Anmiao to the peak of being unkind and unjust just for a few photos.
"Then Mr. Lu..."
"Is the Jiang family going to hold a Chinese painting auction next month?" He suddenly said calmly, as if just remembering: "Arrange two spots. Miao Miao and I will go together."
Assistant Song was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay, I understand."
Although he didn't know what Mr. Lu was planning, it was obvious that he was going after the Jiang family.
---
Hearing that Ning Anmiao had returned to the Ning family overnight and was beaten, Jiang Xixi was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. She felt extremely delighted.
If she hadn't accidentally seen the photo sharing posted by a passer - by on the social platform on her phone, she would have been worrying about how to prove it to Father Ning!
It was really like someone sending a pillow when she was sleepy. It was so easy!
Lin Chuluo beside her didn't say anything, but just slightly curled his thin lips.
"So it was really Miao Miao that I met at Lu Yan's door that day." Lin Chuluo's expression didn't change at all. He casually mentioned it as if it was nothing.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xixi immediately became alert. She turned to look at Lin Chuluo and said, "Don't call her so intimately!"
Lin Chuluo responded, his voice gentle. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead: "Okay, I know, wifey."
Jiang Xixi still felt insecure. She walked over and tugged at his sleeve, her voice full of grievances: "Lin Chuluo, you mustn't let me down."
"Now half of the Jiang family is yours, and you've also married me. If you betray me, everything you want to do will be in vain."
Hearing this, the smile on Lin Chuluo's face disappeared. His eyes showed a hint of coldness that was hardly noticeable.
Even if Jiang Xixi was stupid, she couldn't fail to see Lin Chuluo's intentions.
The Lin family had been looking for their long - lost eldest son for a long time. This news couldn't be hidden at all and had already spread in the upper - class society.
Combined with Lin Chuluo's actions, it was obvious to anyone with a discerning eye what he was preparing for.
He wanted to control the Lin family in advance, hold the greatest power in his hands, and be prepared at any time in case the old Mr. Lin changed his mind and handed the company to his long - lost son.
"Of course, if you always keep your heart on me, I will definitely help you find your elder brother."
Jiang Xixi raised her face, her smile full of meaning and disdain.
She knew that this was the handle she could hold.
Lin Chuluo frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed. He pretended not to care and hugged Jiang Xixi.
"Xixi, don't talk nonsense."
"I've already decided that no matter what happens to the Lin family in the future, I'll always be your husband."
"No matter what, we'll be together happily in the future."
Lin Chuluo's voice was very nice. At this moment, when he said such sweet words, he was so tender - hearted that Jiang Xixi couldn't resist at all.
She felt sweet in her heart and said in a coquettish voice: "Yes, we'll be together happily."
Even though she knew that Lin Chuluo had other motives, Jiang Xixi still couldn't help but be attracted to him.
Even if she pretended to be stupid, she wanted to indulge in this kind of Lin Chuluo.
At the same time, she also made up her mind in her heart.
She was going to completely drive Ning Anmiao out of Shanghai and eliminate any possibility that might disrupt her happy marriage!
...
On a weekday.
It was in a mess at the entrance of Star River Capital. Many employees were whispering to each other, saying that a young miss had come to the company's entrance, claiming to come and discuss cooperation with them.
