Chapter 70: Just Follow Me

After the others left, the ladies present exchanged glances, covering their mouths and giggling.

“Look how loving they are!”

“Yeah, they’re even holding hands!”

“They haven’t had children even after so many years of marriage, you can tell Mr. Lu truly spoils his wife!”

“Exactly! He treats her like a child!”

Sun Xiaoxia took a sip of tea, using it to mask the disdain in her eyes.

Loving my foot! They’re almost divorced, yet they pretend to be so affectionate, it’s truly sickening!

But she dared only to complain in her heart. Others didn’t know, and continued to believe the facade of their supposed love.

Su Yiren followed Lu Yunting for a while. Seeing no one around, she quickly pulled her hand away.

“No need to be so serious.”

Lu Yunting looked down at his empty palm, the lingering warmth and delicate touch of her hand still felt like they were there.

He gently clenched his fist and said softly:

“Don’t think too much, it’s just a show.”

Su Yiren furrowed her brows.

“I guess so.”

“Just like what you did just now.”

Su Yiren: “…”

Feeling a bit choked up, she didn’t want to be alone with him for too long, so she simply asked:

“Alright, what do you want?”

Seeing her impatient expression, Lu Yunting frowned slightly.

But remembering the request his grandfather had just made, he had to temporarily suppress his displeasure and avoid arguing with her.

He remained silent for a moment, making small talk:

“Did you receive the Hundred Years’ Longevity painting?”

Su Yiren was taken aback, then nodded.

“Yes, Aunt Liu gave it to me.”

After she was discharged from the hospital, she took Sheng Jiaer and his siblings back to the villa to see the painting.

At that time, Aunt Liu gave her the Hundred Years’ Longevity painting that Lu Yunting had bought at the auction, saying that Lu Yunting had specifically instructed her to deliver it to her.

She was surprised at the time, thinking he had bought it for Ouyang Shasha, after all, they had a rather unpleasant confrontation over the painting during the bidding.

She had even considered what methods she could use to reclaim the painting. Unexpectedly, he had actually sent it to her, she really didn’t know what he was thinking.

Later, during the art exhibition, they had another unpleasant encounter. Then Lu Yunting went abroad, and she hadn’t had the chance to talk to him about this until now.

Lu Yunting nodded. “That’s good, keep it safe.”

Seeing that he had nothing else to say, Su Yiren became even more puzzled and asked:

“Why did you send it to me?”

Lu Yunting looked at her in confusion. “Didn’t you say it was painted by your mother?”

“So you bought it and sent it to me?” Su Yiren didn’t believe he was so kind.

“Ouyang Shasha also wanted it very much.”

Lu Yunting said emotionlessly:

“She just wanted to compete with you.”

Su Yiren sneered. “So you knew everything.”

He watched them both fight over it, enjoying the whole thing.

Lu Yunting frowned, he didn’t like her sarcastic tone, but this time he had something to ask her, so he endured it and didn’t lose his temper.

Seeing him with a sullen face, not arguing with her, she was even more surprised.

In the past, he would have glared at her and said she was “being unreasonable” or “ungrateful,” how could he be so calm now?

“If you have nothing else, I’m leaving.”

Lu Yunting reached out to stop her. “Aren’t you going to say thank you?”

“Thank you for what?” Su Yiren looked at him curiously.

Lu Yunting was almost driven mad by her.

“I spent 10 million to buy it for you, and you don’t even say thank you?”

Su Yiren was amused by his twisted logic, so she decided to argue with him properly about this:

“Firstly, the 10 million isn’t just yours, as you would say, it’s marital property, half for each of us, 5 million each. Secondly, if your little girlfriend hadn’t interfered, I could have bought the painting at the starting price, I remember it was 1 million. So, because of your indulgence, I ended up spending an extra 4.5 million, I’m lucky I didn’t ask you for that loss, and you still want me to thank you?”

Her words left Lu Yunting speechless for a while.

After a few seconds of silence, he finally caught the point and frowned.

“I’ve said it many times, Shasha and I don’t have that kind of relationship, why do you always bring her up and be so aggressive?”

Su Yiren made an “OK” gesture without any emotion, clearly not wanting to talk to him anymore, she turned and left.

“Su Yiren!” Lu Yunting chased after her, grabbing her arm.

“I’m not finished!”

Seeing Su Yiren stop and look at him impatiently, Lu Yunting had to say directly:

“My grandfather wants to see you.”

Su Yiren was puzzled. “I just saw him, don’t you remember?”

“He wants to see Susan.”

Su Yiren was stunned. “He knows?”

“Yes.” Lu Yunting recalled his grandfather’s outburst earlier, and said helplessly:

“You know my grandfather has a bad heart, I don’t want to upset him. Besides, I haven’t told him you are Susan yet.”

Thinking of his grandfather’s angry face, Su Yiren also felt a headache.

“Then what do you want? Do you want me to explain it to him myself?”

“Find someone to impersonate Susan and meet him.”

Su Yiren found it ridiculous.

“Why don’t you find someone to deal with it yourself? The mighty CEO of Lu Corporation, can’t even find a person?”

“My grandfather knows everyone around me.” Lu Yunting said impatiently:

“Besides, my grandfather is so sharp, do you think he’ll believe anyone I find?”

“Then how can you be sure he’ll believe the person I find?”

“The people around you must know you, they can handle some questions.”

Lu Yunting，despite his inner dissatisfaction, still said impatiently:

“Just let someone like Si Hong or Si Lü say a few words, it’ll be fine.”

So he was planning to use Si Hong.

Su Yiren didn’t refuse directly.

“Let me think about it.”

This matter involved Lu’s grandfather, she couldn’t be as heartless as she was to Lu Yunting.

How could she solve the problem without angering the old man?

As she was pondering, a servant hurried over. Upon seeing Lu Yunting，he immediately approached him and whispered something in his ear.

Lu Yunting looked at him in surprise.

“Did you find him?”

“We’ve searched everywhere, but couldn’t find him.”

“Check the surveillance, we must find him!”

“Yes!” Lu Yunting then instructed:

“Send more people to watch the area, don’t let him mix with the guests, today’s guests are all important people, if something happens, it won’t be good.”

The servant immediately responded and left in a hurry.

Su Yiren heard their conversation, although she was puzzled, she didn’t dare ask more.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yunting came over and told her what the servant had just reported, word for word:

“A man without an invitation sneaked in, the servants are searching for him.”

Su Yiren felt something was fishy, she couldn’t help but think of the man under surveillance, and said in a deep voice:

“This man must be suspicious.”

Lu Yunting nodded, he subconsciously glanced at Su Yiren’s recently healed ankle, a bad feeling lingered in his heart.

“You just follow me for the time being.”
