Revenge Sevenfold - Chapter 185 Next Week

While Hui Yin and Lu Shen were in the cemetery, a handsome youth was staring at the large mansion in front of him.

He was tossing an egg on one hand, throwing it lightly in the air before catching it without looking. Behind him were ten more people, all of them looking uneasy. They were wearing dark blue zip-up sweaters with white stripes and dark blue trousers, their school uniform.

"If he catches us here, he might bankrupt my father's company…"

One of them had barely finished speaking out his worries when a predatory gaze locked onto him, making him unable to finish the rest of his words. He felt as if a sleeping cobra had coiled itself around his body, its red eyes staring back at him.

He broke out in cold sweat when a chilling voice entered his ears, "Quiet."

The frightened student immediately shut up.

Beside their leader was another student who looked identical to him. He was happily munching on a candy apple, but furrowed his eyebrows when he heard the other student's concern.

"Wuji, maybe you should stop doing this. Brother's company will suffer if we get caught…"

The sixteen-year old youth drew back his arm and threw the egg. With a perfect aim, the egg splattered against one of the mansion's bay windows. But the glass didn't break.

"Wuji!" Jiang Shang nearly dropped his candy apple in shock.

His twin brother only gave him a frosty glance. It only lasted for the tenth of a second, but the students behind Jiang Shang nearly flattened themselves into the ground from the heavy pressure he emitted. But Jiang Shang, who had lived with him for sixteen years, already developed an immunity against his twin brother's frightening aura.

He continued munching on his candy apple as he said, "Doing that isn't very nice, Wuji. I'll tell mother."

Jiang Wuji remained impassive as he threw another egg.

Breaking out in cold sweat, the other students began following his example. They didn't want that chilling gaze to be fixed on them. Egg after egg began to splatter on the walls and the windows of the mansion. Not long after, they heard the shouts of the guards coming towards them.

"Aaaaaah! Run!"

Although each one of them was panicking, they didn't stop their actions and continued throwing the eggs. Even the student who yelled for them to run stayed rooted in his spot. As much as they feared the guards, they feared angering the handsome youth more.

Jiang Wuji calmly pulled out a smoke bomb from his pocket and pulled the pin. It was larger than average, and he threw it at the path of the incoming guards.

Seeing that their leader seemed to have stopped, the rest of them followed him in retreating. Jiang Shang was still munching on his candy apple as he said in dissatisfaction, "Wuji, Wifey won't like you doing bad things to her ex-husband."

Jiang Wuji paused mid-stride and lowered his eyes, hiding the emotions in them. In a flat voice, he said, "It's only a small prank. And…she's gone."

Then he lifted his head and ignored his twin brother for the rest of the day.

Jiang Shang's candy apple suddenly became tasteless. He wiped his lips and threw it away. Feeling that the tall back of his brother's figure looked a bit lonely, he picked up his pace and walked beside him.

…

When the Kia Forte finally arrived back in the mansion, Hui Yin pressed her face on the car window as she gaped at its ruined anterior. The maids were already starting to clean the splatter of eggs from the windows and the walls, but there were so many of them that half of the mess still remained.

"Who would dare to throw eggs at your house?" she asked in disbelief.

Lu Shen was still lost in his thoughts and absentmindedly said, "Don't worry, it happens twice a week."

"Twice a week?! And you still haven't done anything to the perpetrators?"

Hui Yin couldn't think of a person that could offend Lu Shen without paying for their lives.

Lu Shen didn't answer. Of course he knew who was behind this. But he didn't make a move because he knew that Xiao Yin had great affection towards those two kids. And they were only doing this because they were angry. It was only a bit of dirt, so Lu Shen didn't really mind.

Of course, he would tolerate them since they were still young. Once they grew up and continued testing his patience, he would have no qualms disciplining them in behalf of Xiao Yin. An impulsive thought had even crossed his mind that since he didn't have a successor and one of them had great potential, maybe…

He glanced at the girl beside him. If Xiao Yin and their unborn child hadn't died…Lu Shen shook his head. His hands clenched on the steering wheel. He already resolved himself to let her go, so why was he still thinking about these useless things?

Hui Yin clicked off her seatbelt and didn't notice his internal struggle. Rubbing her stomach, she complained, "I'm so hungry. Since you knew that Huian was me, why did still you give that basket of sweets to my grave stone? So wasteful! It'll only get eaten by ants."

Despite himself, his lips curved into a slight smile. "There are still desserts inside the kitchen. Just tell the kitchen staff to give it all to you. If you want, I can accompany you to your favorite desserts shop next week…"

He lowered his eyes as his voice trailed off. What he actually wanted to ask her was, how long are you going to stay? But he was too afraid that she would think he was trying to back out of his promise of letting her go. He only wanted her to stay with him longer.

Will she stay with him in this mansion or will she move out?

Will she continue to be Huian forever?

Hui Yin was about to open the car door when she heard Lu Shen's question. Next week? She didn't know if she would still be here next week. And she felt that she was robbing Huian of her life. She couldn't stay here any longer.

So she smiled and said vaguely, "It's fine. I think the head chef's desserts are comparable to their merchandise anyway."

Lu Shen heard the implied meaning in her reply and felt that he should really stop asking questions if he didn't want to know the answer. He let out a harsh breath before grabbing the car keys.

"You can stay in the master bedroom and rest for a while. You've only just recovered, so don't push yourself too hard. I'll order Bolin to arrange everything, so don't worry. I'll be in my study."

Before Hui Yin could react, he had stepped out of the car and strode away. She watched as his figure quickly disappeared in the distance. His shoulders were taut with tension, so she knew a bit of what he was feeling.

But she still didn't take a step forward to catch up to him.
