Revenge Sevenfold

Chapter 45 Such A Big Difference

"Miss Nian!" Hui Yin pasted a surprised expression on her face. "Why didn't you say anything? We didn't know that you were here."

As she jumped out to help her, Hui Yin emphasized the 'we' in her sentence.

It presented her and Lu Shen as a united front, while Nian Zhen was reduced to being a mere lightbulb.

Since you like being a bitch so much, here's some some dog food for you to eat, thought Hui Yin.

Of course, how could Nian Zhen not understand her meaning? The stiff smile on her face nearly fell off.

"I didn't expect you to be here, Yinyin."

Hui Yin shrugged. "Why not? This is my future husband's company, after all."

When Nian Zhen heard that, her hands involuntarily clenched. Future husband? You little slut, how dare you snatch Brother Shen while I was still abroad?

Since I came back, do you think he'll stay as your fiancé any longer?

Brother Shen is mine!

Hui Yin noticed the hatred in the other girl's eyes and her lips curved upwards. Pretending ignorance, she bent down to pick up a shard, but a hand on her arm stopped her.

The touch was gentle, barely grazing her skin before it was withdrawn.

"Leave it. I'll call someone to clean it up later."

Lu Shen transferred his gaze to Nian Zhen. "What are you doing here?"

Suppressing her extreme jealousy, Nian Zhen gave him a sad smile.

"Didn't I tell you before that I brought gifts from abroad? I was going to give yours today, but I was so surprised to see Yinyin that it accidentally slipped out of my hands."

Hui Yin raised an eyebrow. You're blaming me for this?

Lu Shen frowned. "You're always so clumsy. Come inside and sit."

Nian Zhen happily followed Lu Shen into his office, while Hui Yin heaved a sigh.

This man had always been blind.

She followed after them, but only picked up her purse from the table.

She then walked towards the desk and picked up the contract again.

"I'll read it first in the apartment and sign it later. I'll leave first," she told Lu Shen.

She really didn't want to spend any more time with them.

"The bruise..." Lu Shen's eyes dropped to her wrist, and that same flash of remorse flitted again across his usually cold eyes.

"I'll—"

But before Hui Yin could finish her sentence, Yan arrived into the office with an icepack and a towel.

Because the smashed jade figurine was near the doorway, he immediately noticed it.

"Eh, boss, this is..."

"Miss Nian dropped it." Before that girl could twist the story any further, Hui Yin spoke up.

"Wow, this looks very expensive!"

Nian Zhen looked at Yan with regretful tears in her eyes. "It was supposed to be a gift for Brother Shen."

Although Yan was already thirty, it could be said that he was still completely clueless how to act around girls. He had studied at an all boys school since he was a teenager, and there was a complete lack of women in their family. Seeing Nian Zhen's crying face, Yan flew into a panic.

"Miss Nian, I'm so sorry, please don't cry, it was just an accident! Boss wouldn't want to see you cry either, I'm sure it's fine, it's the thought you put into it that matters...ahhh, please don't cry!"

Yan was about to start sobbing himself. This is why I don't have a wife! Boo-hoo, a woman's feelings are really too fragile...

Lu Shen patted Nian Zhen's head.

"Don't cry."

Hui Yin watched the two of them with a grim twist to her mouth. There it was again, the affection that he could easily bestow on Nian Zhen...Hui Yin's eyes were drawn to the faint bruises on her wrist, and her expression became amused.

Such a big difference from how he treated her, his fiancée.

She passed by Yan with a polite nod and a smile, intending to finish cooking the rest of the food she had prepared for the little buns.

Imagining their small faces, her smile gradually softened...

"Wait."

A voice called out from behind her.
