Revenge Sevenfold
Chapter 151 Upper-Class Families

Hui Yin shoved Lu Shen away. What did he mean by putting her hand around his throat?

"Release Jiang Xu!" she demanded. "Did you forget your promise? I told you to stay away from me!"

Behind Lu Shen, Nian Zhen's body trembled. She thought that this trash would be extremely heartbroken after Brother Shen broke their engagement, but she was actually flirting around with another man. What's even more unbelievable was that contrary to what Nian Zhen had thought, this scene before her seemed to be as if it was Brother Shen who didn't want to let go of this actress!

Lu Shen let Hui Yin push him away. But his hand was still persistently gripping her wrist.

"Promise? When did I promise?"

Hui Yin glared at him and ignored his words. "Don't you dare target their company!"

She had thought that Lu Shen considered her words from before because the Nians and the Lus stopped targeting Luo Lan, and Lu Shen had gotten engaged to Nian Zhen. But from Lu Shen's attitude and his words, it seemed that it wasn't the case at all. If she couldn't threaten him with Nian Hsin's illegal dealings and damaging the reputation of the Lu Corporation, what else could she do? In the end, she was only an average girl trying to go against someone most people wouldn't dare to offend.

Hui Yin wasn't particularly smart, and she came from a common background. Even if she had the memories from her past life, the future was constantly changing and she couldn't predict everything that would happen.

She glanced down at the panda that had fallen to the ground from her struggle earlier. Its white coat had been stained by dirt, and it looked extremely pitiful. Yue Lao was right. If she stayed here, even if she and Jiang Xu dated, once her memories from her past life disappeared, Hui Yin wasn't confident that she wouldn't return back to Lu Shen.

And even if Hui Yin didn't actively chase after Lu Shen, will he even let her be free? Hui Yin didn't think so. He could simply threaten those around her—Jiang Xu, Luo Lan, the twins, Bao Bai and Ye Qiang, maybe even Sister Su—and her resistance would crumble, leading her into a path of no return.

Seeing Hui Yin being put in a difficult situation made Jiang Xu feel helpless as well. He thought that as long as his Wifey reciprocated his feelings, everything would end up happily. But if the Great Dragon King still wanted her...he hated himself for being powerless, for being the reason his Wifey was being threatened. He suddenly understood why Wuji became so competitive. He wanted to have the power to protect his Wifey too.

"Leave with me," Lu Shen said, and his grip tightened. "Leave with me now and I'll leave the Jiangs alone."

Hui Yin saw Nian Zhen clenching her fists tightly. For her fiancé to be telling another girl to leave with him...wasn't it simply slapping her in the face? Although Hui Yin inwardly felt satisfied about this, her anger at Lu Shen overcame this slight sense of satisfaction.

Nian Zhen couldn't bear to simply watch anymore. "Brother Shen, let's just go back to the carnival..."

"If you refuse," continued Lu Shen, as if Nian Zhen didn't speak, "I will immediately contact Yan to start the hostile takeover."

Hui Yin gritted her teeth. She shot a worried glance at Jiang Xu, but Lu Shen caught her chin and forced her to look at him.

"Don't stare at other men, only look at me!" he said angrily.

Lu Shen was just using Nian Zhen as a bait in the first place. Now that his own emotions destroyed his plans, it was better if Xiao Yin stayed close to him so that he could protect her better. He didn't want to experience the same overwhelming jealousy he felt when he saw her being close to another man. Lu Shen hadn't seen the kiss, but even the close interaction between the two of them had smashed his rationality into pieces.

Hui Yin's body nearly exploded with anger. So unreasonable! Lu Shen was indeed the Great Dragon King, but in terms of childishness, he was even more majestic!

"Wifey, you don't have to listen to him!" Jiang Xu struggled more fiercely against his captors.

Hui Yin heard the sound of Jiang Xu struggling and wanted to look, but Lu Shen was preventing her from doing that.

"I told you to let him go!"

"I'll let him go once you come with me."

Lu Shen hated seeing her being so concerned with another man. He decided that after Xiao Yin came with him, he would give the Jiang elders a little reminder that their oldest son was now in the right age to marry. Lu Shen understood the characters of the upper-class families in Beijing. He was fortunate because he could fight against his parents and make his own decisions, but other heirs didn't have that opportunity.

Even if Xiao Yin dated Jiang Xu, she would still face alienation against his parents. The old madam of the Jiangs might be easygoing on the surface, but she was a fierce tigress when it came to her sons. As Jiang Xu was the eldest, she would seriously consider his future prospects. If Lu Shen introduced some promising young ladies to Mrs. Jiang, she would certainly not refuse.

It would actually be easier for Lu Shen if he simply told her that her son was interested in Xiao Yin, but he didn't want to her to go through that hell again. He had learned from Du Peng what his parents had said to Xiao Yin when they broke off the engagement, and this was already when his parents were aware that it might anger Lu Shen and reduce their company shares.

If Mrs. Jiang were to learn of her son's relationship with an actress, who knows what her reaction might be. In the end, all upper-class families were the same.

The contempt Lu Shen held for Jiang Xu became even more disdainful. He couldn't even fight against him, so what merits did he have to make a move on Xiao Yin?
