Using Marriage as Bait - Chapter 21

    Lu Junting was still very busy, so he only came out for half a day to accompany Lin Xiyu for the prenatal check-up. After dinner, he sent Lin Xiyu home and he went to the company again. Lu Junting’s meeting ended in the afternoon. He sat on the back seat and pressed his finger between his eyebrows. The car started and started and stopped abruptly after a while. Lu Junting’s face darkened and he asked, “What’s wrong?”

    The driver pointed at him and pointed ahead, Lu Junting looked up and saw that there was someone blocking the car. At this time, in the underground garage of Changheng Group, Shen Jimei recognized his car and waited for him here on purpose.

    The car stopped, Shen Jimei walked to the rear window and knocked, Lu Junting rolled the window down, his condensed expression seemed to tell the person that he had limited patience.

    “Anything?” Lu Junting asked her.

    Shen Jimei knew how hateful Lu Junting was when she was impatient with someone, so she simply said straight to the point: “Why does your wife look like me, is she the substitute you’re looking for? You fall in love with me, right Lu Junting?”

      Who is the substitute?”

    **

    Lin Xiyu forgot about Lu Junting’s ex-girlfriend within a few days, that is, when she learned that she was used as a substitute, she felt uncomfortable for a while.

    Perhaps she has a good impression of Lu Junting, because he is the father of her child, because of his considerate care, but she knows that she and Lu Junting are not the same, and neither is the type that likes each other, The good feelings for him are not out of liking or love, but for the same purpose – the hope that the child will be born smoothly.

    Lin Xiyu is very open, as long as everyone is in peace before the child is born.

    This afternoon, Lin Xiyu received a call from Mrs. Lu as soon as she drank the soup to protect the miscarriage. Mrs. Lu said she wanted to introduce someone to her.

    “She is my nephew’s daughter-in-law. She has just given birth to a baby and has given birth to a little princess. She is very chubby and cute. You can share your experience when you get to know her. She is a very humorous person. , very funny.”

    Lin Xiyu was worried that there were too few pregnant women she knew to communicate with others. After hearing what Mrs. Lu said, she agreed after a while.

    The old lady Lu said again: “Then you take time to come back, first come to the house to get to know each other, and if you can talk, add contact information to each other.”

    After Lu Junting came back from get off work, Lin Xiyu told him about it. Lu Junting had no reason to object and said, “I’ll take you back this weekend.”

    “It’s fine, just let the driver take me back.”

    Lu Junting said, “I just have something to discuss with grandpa.”

    Okay, Lin Xiyu will not delay anymore.

    The two went back to Lu’s house together at the weekend. Mrs. Lu dragged Lin Xiyu and chatted for a while. Lu Yuan happened to be at home too, and leaned in front of Lin Xiyu to talk to her.

    Old Mrs. Lu saw that it was almost time, and ordered the maid to wait for Miss Sun at the door. Miss Sun just came to pick her up.

    Shen Jimei knew that Lu Junting lived outside, but she didn’t know the exact address, but she knew the address of Lu’s house. A friend of hers and Lu Junting’s friend were in a relationship, and she also met through this friend Lu Junting, the friend told him the address of Lu’s house.

    It is not easy to see Lu Junting, and it is even more difficult to see Lu Junting and her wife together. Shen Jimei just wanted to try her luck and wait on the road not far from Lu’s house. After Lu Junting’s car, he should bring his wife with him when he returns to Lu’s house?

    Shen Jimei drove the car to the entrance of Lu’s house and stopped. From the outside, only the majestic roof of Lu’s house could be seen. Good document, she knew that it was not easy to enter the Lu family, she was about to pretend to be Lu Junting’s assistant and come to deliver things, but before she could say anything, the maid smiled at her and said, “Are you Miss Sun? Come in with me quickly. , everyone is waiting for you.”

    Shen Jimei doesn’t know who Miss Sun is, but since she has the opportunity to enter the Lu family, she will pretend to be that Miss Sun temporarily. To Shen Jimei’s surprise, she really entered the Lu family so smoothly.

    Everyone in the living room was sitting and laughing, and the helper came in and said, “Miss Sun is here.”

    Everyone looked up and saw a girl coming in behind the helper. Lin Xiyu looked at the girl who came in and couldn’t help but be surprised. She had an impression of this girl. Isn’t this Lu Junting’s ex-girlfriend? How is she Miss Sun?

    The old lady Lu looked at the girl who came in and said, “This is…”

    The maid was also very surprised, “Isn’t this Miss Sun?” The maid had never seen Miss Sun, she just asked, and the other party also admitted that she was Miss Sun.

    Shen Jimei stepped forward and greeted Mrs. Lu politely: “Hello, Grandma Lu, I’m Lu Junting’s ex-girlfriend, my name is Shen Jimei.”

    The surroundings suddenly became quiet, everyone’s eyes fell on Lu Junting’s face, Mr. Lu was the first to come back to his senses, and said coldly, “Lu Junting, what’s going on?”

    Lu Junting’s expression was cold, he asked Shen Jimei, “What are you doing here?”

    Shen Jimei tried her best to keep her calm and said, “Don’t misunderstand me, Lu Junting and I have broken up. I’m here just to get my things back.”

    “Your stuff? I didn’t know you had stuff with me.”

    Lu Junting sat on the back of the chair, his complexion had returned to normal, and the question was asked slowly, but it was full of oppression.

    Shen Jimei took a deep breath and said, “The painting I gave you had the two of us painted on it, when I was a little girl, I sat next to you and played for you Wound, do you remember this painting?”

    Shen Jimei’s eyes showed a bit of provocation, and she glanced at Lin Xiyu. She didn’t know if this woman had seen the painting, which Lu Junting regarded as an eyeball to protect.

    Lu Junting’s performance was calmer than she imagined, or maybe this person was so unfathomable, his tone didn’t even make much waves, “Then you say what you used What kind of brushes, and those kinds of paints, I’ll see if it’s the one I know.”

    “It’s been too long, I forgot.”

    Lu Junting has run out of patience to deal with her, “Don’t mess around here.” He gestured to the servant, “Send the person out.”

    It was not easy for Shen Ji to come to the Lu family. Before she could finish her words, seeing the helper walking towards her, she had to hurry up and tell her purpose. She looked at Lin Xiyu and sneered: “I don’t know your name, but seeing that you are younger than me, I will call you sister. Little sister, you are young, don’t be fooled by Lu Junting, Didn’t you notice that we look a bit alike? Lu Junting uses you as a stand-in!”

    These words did not make Lin Xiyu react too much, but Lu Yuan, who was sitting next to Lin Xiyu, exploded, “Where is the crazy woman, what nonsense are you talking about?” To stand up, Lin Xiyu hurriedly grabbed her.

    Obviously, Mrs. Lu was also provoked, she reprimanded: “You came to my house without authorization, I have no knowledge as you, what are you talking nonsense? What are you doing? Get me out now.”

    Old Mrs. Lu is usually kind, but when she gets angry, she is quite scary.

      A stand-in, you have to pay attention.”

    Old Mrs. Lu swept Lu Junting coldly and said, “Your business, you can solve it.”

    Lu Junting got up and went outside, where the old lady Lu hurriedly said to Lin Xiyu: “Xixi, don’t take that woman’s words to your heart, what a substitute is not a substitute, Jun Ting is dating that woman It’s been a few years ago, and she’s just unbalanced and deliberately trying to make you unhappy, and if you get angry about it, you’ll fall for her trick.”

    Lin Xiyu smiled, but comforted Mrs. Lu, “Don’t worry, grandma, I didn’t take it to heart.”

    Seeing that she did not look angry, Mrs. Lu breathed a sigh of relief and said, “I will let Jun Ting give you a good explanation for this matter, and we will not let this grievance. You got it in vain.”

    Shen Jimei was taken out of the gate by the helper, and Lu Junting also came out, Shen Jimei sorted out the clothes that were pushed and rubbed by the helper, and smiled at Lu Junting, “Believe it or not, your wife is now You must have begun to doubt whether you really used her as a substitute, and this doubt will follow her for the rest of your life.”

    Lu Junting’s expression didn’t make much waves, he just looked at her so calmly, his eyes made her feel like he was watching a trivial clown.

    This made Shen Jimei a little frustrated.

    After a while of silence, Lu Junting suddenly took out his mobile phone and made a call.

    “Lawyer Zhang, have you collected the evidence of Shen Jimei’s misappropriation of company funds that I asked you to collect last time? Very good, now you help me deliver this evidence to Prosecutor Qian. And… use all the means you can to handle this matter well, it’s best to let Shen Jimei go to jail.”

    Lu Junting hung up the phone after saying this calmly, but Shen Jimei’s expression changed, “Lu Junting, what do you mean?”

    “Take money to do things, and leave when things are done, why are you making trouble with my family? Do you really take yourself seriously?”

    She and Lu Junting really started with a deal. At that time, there were some bad rumors about Lu Junting, such as rumors that he was gay. His family was very worried after knowing these rumors, probably to reassure the family, or to spend their energy on work with peace of mind. Just when they first met, he proposed to let her pretend to be a girlfriend, and he paid her. She and Lu Junting knew about this matter, and she said to the outside world that she was Lu Junting’s girlfriend.

    At that time, she was very confident, thinking that he could fall in love with her, she wanted to retreat, and deliberately broke up, but she didn’t expect that he didn’t take it seriously at all, but she was always thinking about I have been with him for a long time, in order to make him better, I often go to his favorite restaurant just to meet him by chance.

    Shen Jimei is a well-off family, but she has always spent a lot of money, but her family can’t help her pay all the bills. After graduation, she joined a company as an accountant and used her position to embezzle a lot of money from the company to meet the needs of Although the money that was embezzled was later made up for his own consumption, the embezzlement of public funds did exist.

    She is not only astonished now why Lu Junting knew about this, but why Lu Junting wanted to investigate her, why he wanted to get evidence of her embezzlement of public funds, and it was obvious that he did not start it today, He had already prepared people.

    Shen Jimei was angry, “Lu Junting, why are you investigating me?”

    Lu Junting said slowly, “Don’t you know? The best thing I do is plan ahead.”

    “Good luck, Miss Shen.”

    He turned away after saying this.

    The development of things was too fast and completely beyond Shen Jimei’s expectations, Lu Junting’s anger for sending her to prison has surpassed everything, Shen Jimei suppressed his anger and said to his back: ” Lu Junting, you won’t really let me go to jail, will you?”

    Lu Junting ignored her and left without looking back.

    Lu Junting returned to the living room, only Mrs. Lu and Zhang Yao were there. When Mrs. Lu saw him come in, she squinted at him and asked in a deep voice, “Is it resolved?”

    Lu Junting said: “It’s all settled, where did Xixi go?”

    The old lady Lu said, “I went to the tea room with Lu Yuan for some snacks.”

    The tea room is a waterside pavilion in the Chinese garden in the backyard of the Lu family. Lin Xiyu was listening to Lu Yuan’s words while biting the beef jerky.

    “You say why is that woman so shameless, it’s been so long since we broke up, and knowing that my eldest brother is married, he came to provoke, why did you stop me just now, I’m so angry Let it out, I’m dying of anger.”

    Lu Yuan hammered the table so hard that Lin Xiyu felt that she was going crazy.

    “Okay, everyone is gone, what are you thinking about?”

    Lu Yuan glanced at her, the beef was quite strong, she chewed it happily, Lu Yuan looked angry, “Why didn’t you say a word just now? You didn’t hear her say it. Are you a substitute, what a face, and a substitute, who she thinks she is, you should stand up and kill her directly.”

    Lu Junting walked outside the water pavilion, the sound insulation was not very good, the voices of the inside were clearly heard, and his action of knocking on the door stopped when he heard the conversation inside.

    Lin Xiyu shrugged when she heard this, and said nonchalantly, “Maybe I’m really a stand-in.”

    Lu Yuan’s angry expression froze for a while, she stared at Lin Xiyu’s face for a few seconds, and asked, “How do you know?”

    Lin Xiyu said: “She’s right, I do look a bit similar to her, maybe it’s because of this that Brother Junting didn’t hold back that night.”

    “Isn’t it?” Lu Yuan said that, but her face became a little more suspicious, “If my elder brother really uses you as a substitute, then he will be a bit of an asshole.” Lu Yuan Afraid that her heart will affect her mood to raise her baby, she was about to comfort her a few words, but she saw that she had nothing to do. She had been chewing beef jerky since she entered the tea room, and she ate very energetically. She knew Lin Xiyu very well, and generally she was in a bad mood. Sometimes it will affect her appetite. In other words, when she has a good appetite, her mood is not a big problem. Lu Yuan asked with a puzzled face, “You don’t care at all?”

    “What do you care about?”

    “My eldest brother uses you as a stand-in.”

    “What is there to care about, it’s not that you don’t know the situation between me and Brother Jun Ting, but it’s just that the dewy love has a child and has to get married.”

    “But you are his wife after all.”

    Lin Xiyu answered quite succinctly, “What about my wife, I don’t like him, what he thinks, it doesn’t matter to me.”

    The door made of wood has poor sound insulation, so Lin Xiyu’s words naturally reached Lu Junting who was standing outside the door clearly.

    As soon as Lin Xiyu finished speaking, she heard a knock on the door, neither light nor heavy, Lu Yuan responded, the door was pushed open, and Lu Junting came in from the outside.

    He seemed to be covered with a layer of bleak coolness in autumn, and when he walked in, the room suddenly became several degrees colder.

    As soon as Lu Yuan saw him come in, like a mouse seeing a cat, she stood up and said, “Well, I have something to do, I’ll go first, you guys can talk slowly.” Ran.

    Lin Xiyu didn’t expect Lu Junting to come over, she was holding a piece of beef jerky, she put the beef jerky back subconsciously as soon as he came in, there was still something in her mouth that she didn’t swallow. This beef jerky is very chewy, and it can’t be chewed for a long time. Lu Junting glanced at her, Lin Xiyu was a little embarrassed, covered his mouth and chewed the beef jerky for a few times, and then greeted with a dry smile, “Jun Ting elder brother.”

    Lu Junting sat down at the place where Lu Yuan had just sat, and the two were separated by a tea table, he glanced at her, and the girl had been sitting upright since he came in, just followed It is the same as the students who see the teacher entering the classroom to inspect.

    “Is beef jerky good?”

    “It’s delicious.” Lin Xiyu said honestly.

    “If it tastes good, keep eating.”

    “I didn’t eat, I just ate quite a lot.”

      fidgeting.

    “I’m sorry that I didn’t handle this matter well. But you don’t need to take Shen Jimei’s words to heart.” Lu Junting suddenly said, “I have broken up with her for many years, and I haven’t contacted her since we broke up. However, you are not someone’s stand-in, you are yourself.”

    Is he afraid of her being over-hearted, and explained to her? Lin Xiyu didn’t want him to feel guilty because she took this matter to heart, she hurriedly expressed her attitude, “It’s okay, Brother Junting, I don’t take it seriously, even if you really take me as a substitute, it’s nothing to be sorry to me. Yes, you have been good enough to me, and there is nothing to owe me, anyway, we will be separated after the child is born, it doesn’t really matter if you are a substitute or not, you don’t need to feel guilty or anything, we are just like before Get along just like that.”

    Lin Xiyu thought that her explanation would make Lu Junting relieved, but there was no expression of relief on his face. When these words fell, his eyes suddenly fell on her, and she could clearly feel it. It can be seen that his aura has turned cold, but there is a little anger in his eyes looking at her.

    People like Lu Junting are the best at hiding their emotions, but now, she can clearly feel that he is angry.

    Lin Xiyu felt inexplicable, she tentatively asked, “Brother Junting, what’s wrong?”

    Her trembling eyes were filled with inquiry, like a small animal facing a threat, with fear clearly engraved on her face. Lu Junting turned back, his face quickly returned to normal, he stood up and said, “It’s nothing, go back first.”

    Lin Xiyu breathed a sigh of relief, got up and left with him, but as soon as the door of Shuixie was opened, he saw Lu Junfeng standing outside.

      Dyeing the desolation of autumn, Lu Junfeng’s complexion was also gloomy.

    “What are you doing here?” Lu Junting asked.

    Lu Junfeng clenched his hands into fists, and said, “I heard everything you said. You weren’t together before you got married, right?”

    Lin Xiyu’s complexion changed greatly, how did Lu Junfeng know it so coincidentally.

    Lu Junfeng went on to say: “I once knew from Yan Yutong when Xixi was pregnant, I calculated, it should be near the day she graduated. I remember that day when Xixi was drunk Now, I asked my eldest brother to find a female assistant to pick her up. Later, I asked the hotel manager that it was you who picked her up that day. I had doubts at first, but I am now convinced that you had **** on that day. It was you who forced Xixi to be drunk, right?”

    Lu Junfeng’s question was not polite at all, Lin Xiyu broke out in a cold sweat, she hurriedly said: “It’s not what you think, you can’t blame Brother Junting for what happened that day.”

    Lu Junfeng has been suppressing his anger, and after hearing Lin Xiyu’s words, he finally couldn’t hold back, “Why do you still speak for him? It’s because you were drunk that he took advantage of others’ danger, so The **** uses you as a stand-in for his ex-girlfriend.”

    Lin Xiyu was about to speak, but Lu Junting blocked her back, completely isolating her from Lu Junfeng’s sight.

    “Lu Junfeng, it’s not up to you to inquire about my personal affairs.”

    Lu Junting’s tone was calm, but he was full of aura, and his words were full of majesty and warning.

    Lu Junfeng is getting angry now, how can he not be angry, he asked Lu Junting to pick up Lin Xiyu, and this incident was caused by accident.

    How can people who are angry can control so much, he said angrily: “It’s useless for me to trust you so much, let you help me pick up Xixi, but you take advantage of the danger of others, you say if I Tell your grandparents about this, will they do justice to Xixi?”

    Lin Xiyu was taken aback, she looked at Lu Junting, his expression did not change much, and his tone did not waver, “If you want the two old people to fall to the ground with a stroke, you can Go talk to them.”

    Lu Junfeng frowned violently, he took a deep breath to calm himself, and then said to Lin Xiyu: “Xixi, I know you don’t like my eldest brother, you are married for the sake of the child Don’t worry, I will always wait for you. I have broken up with Yan Yutong, and I will not reconcile in the future. Now I can control my own life. When the child is born in the future, if you are still willing to stay with me, I’ll take you to a faraway place to live, and we forget the past and start over.”

    Lin Xiyu is also speechless, why does Lu Junfeng say this at this time?

    Lu Junting’s whole body was even colder, she could even feel an overwhelming killing intent, like a sharpened sword waiting to be washed by blood.

    Lin Xiyu was taken aback by this idea, but Lu Junting’s expression was still calm, those eyes were dark and deep, but they were dyed a bit gloomy by the autumn sun.

    “Lu Junfeng, you’d better not be wishful thinking.”

    Heavy words, with warnings, hit people’s hearts.

    Lu Junfeng clenched his fists, glanced at Lin Xiyu, didn’t say anything more, turned and left.

    A cool autumn wind came, Lin Xiyu shivered, and Lu Junting turned his head slightly and said, “Let’s go.” His tone was still calm, as if he didn’t take Lu Junfeng’s words seriously.

    Back to the living room, Lu Junfeng was not there, Miss Sun finally arrived late, it turned out that she was stuck in traffic on the road. Miss Sun has just given birth to her child, and her figure is a little fat, but she is cheerful and humorous. Lin Xiyu chatted with her for a while, and was affected by her humorous and chatty, and her worry gradually disappeared.

    Staying at Lu’s house for dinner at night, when Lu Junfeng was away, Jiang Lisu told everyone that Lu Junfeng was not feeling well and stopped eating. Hearing this, Lin Xiyu was inexplicably relieved. What she was most afraid of was that when Lu Junfeng exposed the matter in public, it would not end well.

    After dinner, Lin Xiyu and Lu Junting got into the car together. In the evening, Lu Junting drank some wine, and the two got into the car and sat in a closed space. Lin Xiyu soon smelled the permeation from him. The smell of alcohol came.

    He took off his coat and wore only a shirt. In the dim light, this shirt looked more textured and made him more expensive. He was sitting on the back of the chair, probably drinking too much alcohol made him uncomfortable, and he rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers. Seeing this, Lin Xiyu hesitated for a while but asked with concern, “Brother Junting, are you alright?”

    “It’s okay.” The wine-stained voice was slightly hoarse, and it was smudged by the night, which made it seem particularly magnetic.

    After he finished speaking, one arm suddenly lay across the back of the chair. His arm was long and stretched directly behind Lin Xiyu. His body was lazy, and his arm was probably just to relax.

    Lin Xiyu’s body froze for a moment, and he subconsciously moved away from his arm. However, as soon as he turned his head, he met Lu Junting’s gaze.

      At the time, the line of sight seemed to have a penetrating power. Lin Xiyu didn’t dare to meet such eyes at all, and hurriedly avoided it.

    “Do you despise me so much?” He suddenly spoke, his voice deliberately lowered, with a sense of heaviness.

    Lin Xiyu looked at him with a puzzled face, and Lu Junting said again, “Don’t want me to hit you?”

    Is he saying that he just stretched out his arm, she subconsciously avoided, Lin Xiyu said: “I am afraid of pressing your hand and want you to sleep more comfortably?”

    “You didn’t dislike me?” he asked.

    “No.”

    “Then sit down.”

    “…”

    Lin Xiyu adjusted her breathing and moved a little closer to him, the gradually strong alcohol smell quickly enveloped the nose, and there was a faint cold fragrance on him.

    “Come a little more.”

    Lin Xiyu bit her lip, she didn’t know what Lu Junting was going to do, did he misunderstand that she was disgusting her, so she was teaching her a lesson?

    She bit her head and sat down a little further, and she was close to his body, and the distance was so close that it made people feel ambiguous.

    He leaned his head against the back of the chair, turned his head to face her, his warm breath floated on her face, and a strong smell of wine came over, she felt his body She was hot, and she was close to him. The heat from his body moved towards her. She was wrapped in this heat and felt that her body was starting to heat.

    Lin Xiyu lowered her head and asked him, “Brother Junting, are you drinking too much?”

    “Fine.”

    When he spoke, a hotter breath blew on her face, Lin Xiyu shuddered, and her eyes flickered a few times.

    I saw him frown suddenly and tug at his tie a few times, as if this would make him more comfortable. He leaned his head on the back of the chair. Originally, he just raised his head to close his eyes, but after a few breaths, he suddenly turned his head to face her. They were sitting close to each other. approached, but he moved a little closer to her, his lips almost touching his ears.

    In the silent carriage, his hoarse voice suddenly asked her, “Will you run away with Lu Junfeng after giving birth?”

    Lin Xiyu: “…”
