Chapter 1204: Chapter 1231: Exposing the True Colors 16

After Nianyang left, Lu Xingshen made a phone call to Jian Qingqing,

"Miss Jian, I’ve taken care of everything on my side. I hope you can be cautious. There are only a few days left. Don’t let Chu Nianyang catch any leverage; she’s smarter than anyone."

Jian Qingqing smiled and said, "Director Lu, rest assured, I won’t let Chu Nianyang ruin our plan. You just need to keep her away from Shi Nuan until the end of the month, and I’ll make this a done deal.

With your help, no matter how much Chu Nianyang investigates, she won’t find any evidence. I’ve arranged for international agents to monitor Chu Nianyang’s movements at all times."

Lu Xingshen frowned, "Chu Nianyang is a Sea Doctor and has undergone extensive training; even agents can’t do anything to her. You better be careful. I can only help you this much. Once I marry Xiao Nuan, whether there’s recognition or not won’t affect me."

"Director Lu, you’re using me, that’s rather unethical." Jian Qingqing giggled lazily, "Alright, I won’t disappoint you. With only seven days left, I’ll make sure Chu Nianyang has no time to mess with me. In two days, she’ll be in over her head with her own troubles and won’t have the leisure to meddle."

"I have no objection to however you deal with Chu Nianyang," Lu Xingshen said sternly, "but one thing, you mustn’t do anything that hurts Xiao Nuan, or I’ll make sure all your expectations crumble, understood?"

"Of course."

Jian Qingqing hung up the phone, her eyes gleaming with madness. Lu Xingshen was too naive. At this point, she had no way back.

She could never let Shi Nuan go, the root cause of all this was Shi Nuan.

Now Lu Xingshen is helping her, all to win the beauty over. But if Lu Xingshen turns against her, marries Shi Nuan, and reveals the truth to win Shi Nuan over, then Jian Qingqing would be left with nothing.

Thus, Shi Nuan cannot stay. Shi Nuan must die. She won’t forgive Shi Nuan.

Lu Xingshen doesn’t know now how terrifying a woman can be when driven by self-interest, nor does he realize his careless mistake nearly cost the girl he loves most her life. It was this foolish act that completely severed all bonds between him and Shi Nuan.

Nianyang waited a day before receiving a call from the agent assigned to investigate.

None of the jewelry stores in Pingjing had taken an order to custom-make a gold locket, meaning the one Zhang Mingyue handed to the Jian Family was a genuine gold locket. But Zhang Mingyue was not the Jian Family’s daughter. How did she have the gold locket?

The only explanation was that someone gave it to her, and that someone could only be Lu Xingshen.

Because if it were Jian Qingqing, it wouldn’t have been brought out now. If Jian Qingqing weren’t afraid of Shi Nuan recognizing her kin, she wouldn’t have asked Zhang Mingyue to pretend.

Nianyang finally understood why Jian Qingqing’s plan went so smoothly; turns out Lu Xingshen played a significant role.

This man is cunning and ruthless, with an overwhelming possessiveness. To prevent Shi Nuan from recognizing her family, he even teamed up with a white lotus.

If that’s the case, even if Nianyang directly reveals it and requests a paternity test between the Jian Family and Shi Nuan, Lu Xingshen has probably already prepared for that scenario in the hospital.
