Original Translations: Crafted with Care, No Unauthorized Reposting Allowed.

Sheng Mingzhi held his phone, staring at Lu Jiayan's circle of friends for ten seconds.

Then silently cut a picture.

Looking back I saw that he had saved the screenshot to the album.

Only as an afterthought: holy shit? Why did I take a screenshot!

Despite the fact that no one had noticed, he had a feeling of being a thief.

Cut back to the friend zone in a hurry.

Lu Jiayan's circle of friends has already been replied to.

The two have very few close friends in common and those they do know are basically relatives.

The first person to reply to Lu Jiayan was Sheng Xu.

[???? How come I didn't see this friend circle from the little debt collector?

Sheng Mingzhi's eyes fell on Sheng Xu's reply, and he froze.

Next, his brother replied with another.

[No, man, you're not being phished, are you?

Just the kind.

You would think that his show of affection friend circle is visible to all.

In fact he is only visible to you, the King of the Seas routine, fishing for you in a clear way.

Although Sheng Mingzhi did not mean it.

His heart stopped for a beat, and he quickly went back to his circle of friends and made the news public.

He then tweeted Sheng Xu with a "death stare" emoji.

Sheng Mingzhi: [You deleted the reply].

Sheng Mingzhi :【 Lu Jiayan 微信朋友圈那。

Sheng Xu: [?

Sheng Xu: [Are you weak?

Sheng Mingzhi: ......

Sheng Xu typed slowly, [It's not impossible for me to delete it].

He: [WeChat transfer of 200,000.]

He knew it!

Can this kind of pro he doesn't want be put up for sale on idle fish?

Sheng Mingzhi: [Yes.]

Sheng Mingzhi: [You go ahead and delete it].

The little ancestor was too decisive, and Sheng Xu froze slightly when he saw the reply.

He was just teasing Sheng Mingzhi, but he didn't expect him to agree.

The next time Sheng Mingzhi refreshed his circle of friends, Sheng Xu had already deleted the two replies.

Changing the tone of voice to a disgustingly uncomfortable one: [Too. Envious, right? (200,000 a piece)

Then take a screenshot and show it to Sheng Mingzhi.

Sheng Mingzhi is now relieved.

Sheng Xu was still urging him: [I have 200,000, hurry up and transfer the money].

Sheng Mingzhi looms over the next sentence: [Oh.]

He: [I'll have my brother turn you later.

Sheng Xu: [......?]

At bedtime, Sheng Mingzhi took Lu Jiayan's phone while he was in the shower and surreptitiously scrolled through the comments on this post.

The old man's phone is not even passworded, transparent to Sheng Mingzhi's eyes with no secrets.

In reply to Lu Jiayan, apart from Sheng Xu, there are a few business friends of the other party, none of whom Sheng Mingzhi knows.

But the replies were quite dogged, complimenting them on their love for each other, much to Sheng Mingzhi's liking.

most

Seriously reply: [So Mr. Lu is also a groupie (snicker)]

-

As soon as the New Year passed, all industries started work one after another.

Lu Jiayan flew to France on a business trip just after New Year's Eve, and Sheng Mingzhi has not been idle either, as in addition to the variety show "The Internship" he is currently recording, Little Wang has also given him a few scripts for dramas.

After a year of persistent face-painting, Sheng Mingzhi has finally gone from being an 18th-tier to a 17th-tier grouch.

The heat of a few appearances in the ring has also brought him a bit of resources.

While Little Wang was excited, Sheng Mingzhi was indifferent to these resources.

Do what needs to be done.

Early in the morning, he was clutching his phone and poking at it.

Little Wang knows that Sheng Mingzhi is an 8G Internet surfer who lives on Weibo 24 hours a day, so he doesn't mind him.

On his mobile phone, Sheng Mingzhi is waiting for a reply from Yao Shen.

Since his relationship with Lu Jiayan has become less plastic, Yao Shen was finally blacklisted by his "boss's wife" during the Chinese New Year festival, when the young patriarch gave him a pardon.

But before he could rejoice too soon, Sheng Mingzhi went straight to WeChat with his sword.

I didn't ask anything else, but I did ask about Lu Jiayan's trip a year ago.

The question was asked on the same day as Lu Jiayan's visit to the nursing home.

Yao Shen screamed in disbelief, not knowing whether to say anything or not.

Yao Shen was in a dilemma when Sheng Mingzhi threatened him not to tell Lu Jiayan, and finally had to give in to Sheng Mingzhi's power and tell him everything he knew.

Sheng Mingzhi A leap of faith from start to finish.

In fact, he didn't know much about the Lu family.

Prior to their marriage, Sheng Mingzhi and Lu Jiayan were not very close, but were at best the brother of a friend.

In addition, Lu Jiayan left the country after his senior year and there was a gap of almost two or three years between them, so he had only heard about Lu Jiayan.

Even after his marriage, Lu Jiayan did not mention the Lu family to him.

He didn't even know what sanatorium Lu Xuekai was in.

...... good plastic marriage.

Sheng Mingzhi Inexplicable heart attack.

It used to be that he was not annoyed by the plastic of this marriage in the shade.

Just thinking about it now makes me a bit bored.

It is true that people are unsatisfied.

At first, I thought this kind of plastic marriage would be a good idea, as long as I could live with it and not get divorced.

Now it's wishing it wasn't so plastic, and having gotten a little response, it wants more.

Sheng Mingzhi's character is extremely insecure and at the same time has a high level of pride and self-esteem that is difficult to understand.

Even if he wanted to know everything about Lu Jiayan, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to ask, it would have seemed like he was handing over the right to execute himself.

Three days later, Sheng Mingzhi was invited to a red carpet gala and made a small appearance on Weibo.

Sheng Jia's corporate account seems to have let itself go since it last came down and retweeted his tweet, this time swiping his out-of-the-loop red carpet picture and doggingly coming down to like it again.

There are also a few people in the comments who are wondering how Jia Jia has not been fired for using her official account to follow the star.

Sheng Mingzhi enforced the law across his accounts and blacked out all the anti-fans who were jumping around.

After the red carpet party, there was an after party, and after the last one where she was drugged, Sheng Mingzhi was cautious this time. Sheng Mingzhi was very cautious this time.

Wenwen stayed with him and did not allow any champagne to pass his hand that was out of sight.

Sheng Mingzhi's role in such dating parties is often a rimmed one.

Wenwen was very active and went around rubbing up against the producer's dad for photos.

Sheng Mingzhi was bored and took some photos of the scene and sent them to Lu Jiayan.

During this time, Lu Jiayan was abroad.

After the pictures were sent out, Sheng Mingzhi looked at the chat logs from the past few days.

Although the conversation was bull-headed, and there were a few flames in between - Lu Jiayan always jumped repeatedly across the edge of being pulled over by him.

But we talk almost every day, without a day off.

And, even though he is busy, Lu Jiayan calls him once a day.

Although the call came from the other side, the chatterer was Sheng Mingzhi, who had nothing to say, and the sky was the limit with his ramblings.

Looking at the chat logs and call behaviour alone, it's no different from a normal couple.

This inexplicable commonality puts Sheng Mingzhi in a somewhat subtle good mood.

In the next moment, however, Sheng Mingzhi's good mood was gone.

There was a commotion at the entrance to the ballroom and he looked over just in time to see Song Yi enter.

Without any warning, Sheng Mingzhi's unhappy mood was pulled to the extreme.

In fact, from the day Song Yi returned to China, Sheng Mingzhi predicted that the two of them would meet sooner or later.

But the world of entertainment is not too big, nor is it too small.

The only reason he hadn't met Song Yi before was because he was filming in a drama and he was recording a variety show and there was no suitable time.

Once there is any big dinner party in the entertainment industry.

Meeting each other is the nail in the coffin.

However, perhaps due to the recent stability of his relationship with Lu Jiayan, Sheng Mingzhi didn't seem to feel too violent when he saw Song Yi, apart from being upset.

He was more indifferent than he thought he was.

So he just casually glanced at Song Yi and withdrew his eyes.

The dog doesn't bite him, he doesn't bother with the dog.

Wenwen gave a very insensitive "Wow": "Why is Song Yi at the party today? The real person seems quite approachable."

Sheng Mingzhi tugged at the corner of his mouth and smiled, "Nice ass-kissing, why don't you go and work for Song Yi as an assistant?"

Wenwen: The sweat on her back stood up and alerted her.

The worker's desire to survive made him read Sheng Mingzhi's face at once.

His little Mr. Sheng, it seems, doesn't like it very much, Song Yi?

Wenwen's face suddenly flushed, and her unfinished sentence suddenly took a big turn: "- But what's the use of being approachable! Ugly is the original sin in the entertainment industry! I've never seen anyone as good-looking as little Mr. Sheng! The reason he didn't become a star is because the entertainment industry lacks an eye for beauty. Outrageous! That's outrageous! Don't you think so, little Mr. Sheng?"

Song Yi's looks are handsome for a vegetarian.

But in the entertainment industry, where there are so many beautiful people, it is not enough to stand out, and it is all because of her business skills that she has reached this position.

Song Yi, unlike Sheng Mingzhi, came to the dinner to meet the famous director above all.

The style is also long-sleeved and eight-faced.

Lu Jiayan replied to his message at this time.

[Be safe.]

Just like his dad.

Sheng Mingzhi inwardly spat out a comment, somehow recalling Lu Jiayan's reply when Song Yi had just returned to China.

At that moment, he wondered if he would be married to Song Yi if he had not returned to the Sheng family.

Lu Jiayan gave a perfect answer.

No, because he is better looking than Song Yi.

Although this is also a well-known fact, Sheng Mingzhi is still, in retrospect, quite happy.

Besides, it was Lu Jiayan who first proposed the marriage and he only agreed to it reluctantly.

The bad mood of accidentally meeting Song Yi was swept away.

It was as if it was a real chance encounter.

He met Song Yi once and did not move for a few days after that.

Once again, Song Yi was the subject of a Weibo marketing campaign that revealed that the movie star had been meeting the leader of a certain group.

A blurred picture was all that was on the social media, but when he reached Sheng Mingzhi's home page, his mind went blank.

You don't need to zoom in to see Song Yi talking to this man.

Shot underneath a highly secretive hotel, Song Yi is standing with a man who resembles Lu Jiayan's back through the glass.

Soon, speculation began online as to who the man was.

A faster eater of melons than Sheng Mingzhi is Shen Ling.

WeChat message frenzy.

[Holy shit!

[See what's hot!

[No, don't look at all the messy skin pickings yet, I think it just looks a bit like your husband, but it's certainly not!

[Or you could call first and ask your husband what's going on.

To be honest, the first moment she saw the photo really freaked her out.

While others don't know Sheng Mingzhi, she has a good idea of the character of the youngest.

If Song Yi was really Lu Jiayan in the photo, Sheng Mingzhi would probably have divorced without hesitation.

Any man or woman who had a relationship with Lu Jiayan was not necessarily divorced.

But it must not be Song Yi.

Shen Ling knows this all too well.

The conflict between Sheng Mingzhi and Song Yi was doomed from birth.

One is a young lord who is supposed to be pampered being dropped as an ordinary person.

One was an ordinary person who had already enjoyed glory and wealth and was deprived of everything.

Whoever was involved in this farce was each in their own way unhappy.

So from the time Sheng Mingzhi returned to the Sheng family, Song Yi's hostility towards him went beyond that of the others.

She remembers when Sheng Mingzhi first transferred to the secondary school, not knowing many people in the class. The young man was silent, like a young animal that had strayed into human territory, with sharp thorns all over his body. He didn't know how to speak and wouldn't say a word.

Shen Ling had heard about the Sheng family and knew that Sheng Mingzhi was the real child of the Sheng family.

She thought about it differently, if one day someone told her that her mother and father who doted on her were not her real parents.

And the fact that her biological parents are other people and have to take her home, then she must be reluctant in a million ways.

What's more, it seems that something has happened to Sheng Mingzhi's adoptive parents' family.

I heard from someone that the day they went to pick him up, his adoptive parents' home happened to be trashed by loan sharks who were collecting debts and making a lot of noise.

His refusal to speak up seems justifiable.

In her place, she would have been scared to death.

On Sheng Mingzhi's birthday, Shen Ling had to attend a dance class.

The only afternoon we didn't go home together, Song Yi called everyone to his birthday party, as if to deliberately isolate Sheng Mingzhi, except for him.

The malice of a child is naked. Naked and blunt.

Song Yi lied to the driver that Sheng Mingzhi had gone home, leaving Sheng Mingzhi alone in the classroom.

On that day, it rained heavily in YunJing.

Shen Ling came out of the dance studio only to learn that Sheng Mingzhi was trapped in the school.

It was dark by then, and Shen Ling was quite attached to the only new friend who shared her hatred of Song Yi.

So on the spur of the moment, he asked his driver to take him back to school.

It was also exactly this move that allowed her to spy the scene that followed.

It was also at this time that she learned that Sheng Mingzhi had a slight case of night blindness.

Someone had arrived earlier than her.

Shen Ling still remembers seeing Lu Jiayan, a brother she had heard a little about, as he was a senior in the senior school and a good friend of Sheng Xu.

The night is gentle and Sheng Mingzhi stumbles along, always half a step behind Lu Jiayan.

In the next moment, Lu Jiayan half-crouched down and touched Sheng Mingzhi's forehead.

Shen Ling was too far away to hear what he said.

Only Sheng Mingzhi was seen to hesitate for a long time before tugging at Lu Jiayan's sleeve.

In the darkness, it was like he was clutching at the only driftwood.

No more groping, one step towards the light.

Shen Ling remembers shouting and waving, "Mingzhi!"

It was her family's driver who took Sheng Mingzhi to hospital.

Lu Jiayan was accompanied by the adult as there was no one to look after her.

It took an hour to register and get the injection before Sheng Xu arrived in a hurry.

Lu Jiayan saw him coming and left, giving Sheng Mingzhi the basketball pendant from his school bag as if to comfort him before he left.

Sheng Mingzhi took it and clutched it tightly.

After Lu Jiayan left, a pass fell on the floor of the infusion room.

Shen Ling picked it up and found that it had been dropped by Lu Jiayan. But the exams were over and the pass was no longer useful.

As she looked away, she heard Sheng Mingzhi open his mouth to speak.

Not yet in its vocal change, the sound is clean and light:.

"Can I have this one."

Memories come to a screeching halt.

Shen Ling suddenly remembered, a little puzzled, Sheng Mingzhi back then why do you need that pass?

After that night she and Sheng Mingzhi suddenly became much closer.

Since then, everything about Song Yi has been heard from Sheng Mingzhi.

Song Yi was scolded for the incident, but the Sheng family did not want to send him away because of their feelings.

It was not until later that the conflict between Sheng Mingzhi and him grew so great that one day, while arguing with Sheng Mingzhi, Song Yi was pushed down the stairs by Sheng Mingzhi and fell on his head.

It took Sheng family to realise that the two children had reached a point of incompatibility.

It is clear who is more important, the biological son or the adopted son.

Song Yi just disappeared into their world.

But Song Yi is a shameless old cunt.

After being quiet for so long since his return, Shen Ling was about to think he'd changed his tune and stopped making trouble, only to have his face slapped in the face.

The hot search is still climbing a little.

The netizens who are watching the hilarity have gradually picked up the identity of the strange man.

Sheng Mingzhi has not yet recovered from this photograph.

He sent the photo to Lu Jiayan with almost no hesitation.

The blood is frozen in my heart as I type this.

Even he didn't notice the slight twitching of his fingertips.

[Explained.]

[Why are you with Song Yi.]

It was actually quicker to call and ask, but Sheng Mingzhi was so outright angry that his brain fogged up and he forgot about this option.

And apart from these two lines, Sheng Mingzhi is completely unable to conceive of any language.

After the message was sent, he stared intently at the screen, looking at the thumbnail of the photo, and Sheng Mingzhi didn't have the courage to open it a second time.

Not unlike finding Lu Jiayan smelling like a woman's perfume.

It was only at this point that he realised that it could really be anyone, but definitely not Song Yi.

The minute of waiting was unbearably long.

Sheng Mingzhi even felt that after a year and just sixty seconds, he guessed about a dozen replies from Lu Jiayan.

What he didn't expect was for the other party to send him a video.

For some reason, Sheng Mingzhi had an inexplicable sense of foreboding, feeling as if he had just missed some detail.

Tap to open the video.

It is a transcript of a meeting, and a meeting that was paused in the middle, with several foreign delegates looking at the camera with a wry, but friendly smile in their eyes. The camera sweeps across to Lu Jiayan sitting slack-jawed in the middle of the room.

The voice-over is Yao Shen: "Second young master, you may have some misunderstanding, Mr. Lu is now in a meeting at the French branch."

......

......

For a split second, there was no cushion.

That premonition came true.

Sheng Mingzhi: Goose bumps of embarrassment all around.

Especially in the video where the foreign customer representatives look at the camera with that "I know" flirtatious look.

As if he wasn't at ease Lu Jiayan, checking out what post ...... your mother, why are foreigners so gossipy too!!!

Before he could recover from his embarrassment, Lu Jiayan's call came through.

Sheng Mingzhi: ......

Grass.

Don't want to pick it up.

So humiliating.

It was only after Lu Jiayan persevered and punched five times that Sheng Mingzhi clicked on it.

Remembering that he had just fiercely tried to explain himself in a tweet, he looked away sheepishly.

And then, in a tone of unmistakable surprise, " Jiayan? What's the matter with my phone call?"

Lu Jiayan laughed, which always sounded strange to Sheng Mingzhi's ears, and he said, "Come and explain to little Mr. Sheng."

Sheng Mingzhi: ......

"Mingzhi." Lu Jiayan's voice was lazy, but a little cool: "This is the second time you've mistaken me for someone else, isn't it?"

Sheng Mingzhi: ......

He was also identified as Lu Xiao.

...... You can't blame little Mr. Sheng for that.

You two are not originally, just quite alike.

Yes, if Lu Jiayan was in France, it would have to be Lu Xiao who was snapped in the photo.

Sheng Mingzhi was finally able to open the photograph once more and, on closer inspection, the back really only looks like a half-dozen others.

Moreover, Lu Jiayan is unlikely to remove his wedding ring.

Even in his three years abroad, he never took it off.

When he thought of this, the last bit of displeasure in his heart dissipated.

Lu Jiayan reminded him rhetorically, "Explain?"

Sheng Mingzhi: ......

"Just. I was mistaken."

Why are you so careful and vindictive?

Although Mr. Sheng Jr. did the wrong thing first, Mr. Sheng Jr. can still be justified in his anger.

He backtracked and said nervously, "Why are you so angry."

The man said slowly, "Of course I'm angry."

Sheng Mingzhi :"."

Lu Jiayan spoke slowly and carelessly, "I didn't think I would have such a poor eye in little Mr. Sheng's mind."

"I still think." He paused, "I have a pretty good eye for myself."

Sheng Mingzhi: ......

Damn you, dog men are so good at talking.

Can't help but be happy about what's going on.
