Zhuo Yixiang looked down on Lu Xingzhi, apart from such an enchanting face, he didn’t see what else was good about her.
Yet, such a distinguished and upright gentleman, was exceptionally kind to her.
Could it be that the gentleman was that shallow, only liking pretty won?
He also felt sorry for Shen Xinzhu, as she was clearly a better match for Huo Jincheng in every aspect, and he couldn’t help but speak up for her, "Miss Shen is reputed to be the most elegant and talented pianist."
"What does that have to do with ?" Lu Xingzhi sneered inwardly, pianists nowadays really aren’t worth much.
Her father also said she was a natural-born pianist!
But did she ever boast about it?
Praising Shen Xinzhu to the skies, yet what difference would it make if Huo Jincheng cared about it was all that mattered.
"Miss Shen, since you have nothing to say, I’ll head upstairs."
Lu Xingzhi couldn’t be bothered to talk with them, and whatever Shen Xinzhu wanted to say, she didn’t care.
Shen Xinzhu clenched her fists. Ever since she ca to the Helian Family, she hadn’t been subjected to such grievances.
She originally intended to make Lu Xingzhi retreat, to make her realize their difference, she could even provide Lu Xingzhi with a sum of money.
Shen Xinzhu followed Lu Xingzhi upstairs, "Miss Lu, please wait a mont."
Lu Xingzhi looked at her, "Just say it directly!"
"Miss Lu, do you like my third brother? Do you know how long I’ve liked him?"
"I don’t know."
Shen Xinzhu: "..."
She didn’t actually expect Lu Xingzhi to answer.
"I’ve liked him for five whole years, since the first ti I saw him, I fell for him."
"Oh!" Lu Xingzhi wasn’t interested in knowing Shen Xinzhu’s feelings.
Shen Xinzhu: "..."
She very much suspected that soone like Lu Xingzhi, in conversations, easily ruined the mood.
"If you’re in it for the money, I can give it to you." Shen Xinzhu thought that Lu Xingzhi being with Huo Jincheng was simply for the money, unlike her, who truly loved Huo Jincheng.
It was for Huo Jincheng that she kept striving and beca who she was now, leaving no room for underestimation.
"How much can you give ?" Lu Xingzhi asked.
Upon hearing this, Shen Xinzhu was delighted, and said, "I’ll give you five million."
Lu Xingzhi laughed, she laughed brilliantly and attractively, so much that even as a woman, Shen Xinzhu couldn’t ignore Lu Xingzhi’s beauty.
Similarly, she was also envious.
Though not ugly, she begrudgingly acknowledged that her looks couldn’t rival Lu Xingzhi’s.
Typically, when ordinary girls laughed like that, they would expose so flaws.
But instead, Lu Xingzhi only attracted more attention, not only was she not unsightly, she was especially stunning.
After laughing, Lu Xingzhi sighed and said, "That’s quite a lot of money indeed!"
"Yes! Such a large amount, if you had to earn it yourself, you might never make it. I’ll give it to you, provided you leave Huo Jincheng." Shen Xinzhu feared Lu Xingzhi might disagree and spoke from the side.
"But, Huo Jincheng said that if I peacefully stay as the Huo Family’s third Young Madam, all his money is mine. I can spend it as I wish. Moreover, I have an engagent with him, and I’ve t all the family. Does Miss Shen think I’m foolish beyond help? To give up being the Huo Family’s Young Madam for a re five million."
Lu Xingzhi wasn’t truly keen on sitting as the Huo Family’s Young Madam, it was just a matter of defending herself when they’d co to bully her.
"You... you’re clearly in it for my third brother’s money."
