The Domineering Chief Dotes on His Wife

Chapter 571: The illusion of feeling good about oneself...

Lin Jiaran drove back to Four Seasons Garden.

I stopped the car in front of my house, thinking that I would come back to get something and leave after getting the things, so I didn't drive the car into the gate.

Walking to the door, Lin Jiaran slowed down.

Lin Yehua was wearing a suit and tie, and it looked like he was going out to attend some important social event.

The person standing next to the car, a young man in uniform, looked a little too familiar...

Isn’t this the Xiaoqi she met in the Internet cafe?

Lin Jiaran first took out her mobile phone and took a photo.

After Lin Yehua got into the car, the man standing next to the car turned around and walked into the driver's cab.

There happened to be an ornamental tree at the gate of the courtyard, and neither of them noticed Lin Jiaran who was standing by the tree and staring at them.

When the car was coming, Lin Jiaran stood in the middle and the car braked suddenly.

Lin Jiaran put her phone in her pocket and held it in both hands. Lin Yehua got out of the car and asked angrily, "Why are you standing in the middle of the road?"

"I wanted to say hello to you!"

"Good afternoon, Mr. Lin!" Lin Jiaran said as she walked towards the driver's door of the car.

"I have an important meeting!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin. I won't keep you for long. I just think Mr. Lin's driver looks familiar..."

"The one driving the car is your Uncle Tang, you know him. I'm busy attending a meeting!" Lin Yehua was about to get in the car, but when he saw Lin Jiaran walking towards the driver's seat, he hurried over to pull the person away and said.

Lin Yehua pulled her, so Lin Jiaran didn't force her way over. "Is that Uncle Tang? He looks like a young man to me."

"It's him. You are nearsighted. How can you see clearly?"

"Oh, maybe I'm dazzled!"

After Lin Yehua left in the car, Lin Jiaran was still staring at the shadow of the business car. Under Lu Jingshen's abnormal supervision in recent times, her sitting posture when looking at the phone has improved, coupled with some physical therapy, her eyesight is basically normal.

Lin Jiaran enlarged the clear photo she took and took a closer look. It was Xiaoqi!

Why is Xiaoqi here?

If her guess was correct, this Xiao Qi should be the surveillance camera arranged for her. After all, she and Xu Hui went to the Internet cafe to book a night twice in the middle of the night and she was caught on the spot. She was very confused at the time, but now it seems that everything has a traceable clue!

In addition, from what she knew, Lin Yehua had liked to place some eyes around her since she was a child, especially before she went to college. He liked to do this kind of thing the most, on the one hand to protect her, and on the other hand to supervise her so that she would not be infected by the bad social trends.

Tomorrow is the trial date, and it is really a coincidence that Lu Fengming suddenly fell ill at this time.

I don't know if it's a real disease or what.

Lu Jingshen received a call when he returned home. He received news that the trial was postponed in the afternoon. He asked someone to check on Lu Fengming's condition. The report from the person investigating the case confirmed that Lu Fengming was indeed ill.

Hearing some noise coming from the kitchen, Lu Jingshen walked towards it.

"The master is back!" It was the nanny who was cooking in the kitchen.

When he discovered that it was someone else in the kitchen, his expectant gaze immediately returned to normal.

"Is Madam back?"

"Madam is upstairs."

Lin Jiaran was in the study upstairs, moving some design supplies that she had moved from Four Seasons Garden in the afternoon. Many of them were design drafts that she had drawn before, and some were design books on traditional culture that she had collected when she was studying in Jincheng last year.

There were three cartons in total.

The box was placed on the ground, and Lin Jiaran sat cross-legged on the carpet. She took out the books from the box one by one, put them aside, and sorted them first. The things were placed in a mess when she was tidying up, and now she had to sort them out.

Lu Jingshen walked into the study and sat cross-legged on the carpet. He picked up a thick album and started flipping through it. The album contained pictures of various jewellery, some in colour and some in pencil. Each one was fully drawn, and it was obvious that the artist was very serious about the painting.

Each piece is marked with a date, and it can be seen that Lin Jiaran drew it when she was in high school.

"Didn't you like astronomy before? I think you have a talent for drawing!" Lu Jingshen said as he flipped through the album. This question had been in his mind for a long time. Judging from his intuition, based on Lu Jingchuan's many actions to sow discord, Lu Jingchuan knew it but did not tell him the truth.

Why didn't you tell him the truth? Lu Jingchuan must be feeling guilty and afraid that he would know something!

"I like astronomy, but I like painting more."

Lu Jingshen raised his head and looked at Lin Jiaran.

"I have wanted to be a designer since I was a child." Lin Jiaran said as she tidied.

Lu Jingshen's brows gradually frowned again, "That's not what you told me before!"

"Would you tell the truth to someone who was going to take advantage of you?"

Lu Jingshen's brows began to frown slowly.

When Lin Jiaran was in her first year of high school, they had a conversation by chance, and he asked her about her future college plans. Lin Jiaran told him that she liked astronomy and would pursue a career in astronomy.

So, at that time Lin Jiaran began to misunderstand him?

As he guessed, Lu Jingchuan was hiding something from him!

"When did Lu Jingchuan tell you that I wanted to use you?" Lu Jingshen asked with a frown.

"Many years ago, since I was in high school anyway."

Lin Jiaran stood up and put the picture albums on the ground one by one on the bookshelf.

Because of the conversation just now, Lu Jingshen sat cross-legged on the ground with a frown on his face, which made him fall into deep thought...

During his college years, he used the funds given to him by his old man to start some businesses of his own. Later, he felt that these businesses were not big enough, and as he was determined to get rid of the Lu family, he chose to go abroad to start a business many years ago.

Their relationship had been maintained at that time, so for nearly four years, whenever Lin Jiaran had a vacation, he would often fly between China and abroad.

He had always thought that they had a good relationship during those years, but now it seems that it was not the case. Lin Jiaran just didn't expose him. It was all a one-sided illusion of his self-satisfaction...

Their relationship officially broke down when he was 24 years old. He didn't know why. A lot of things happened at that time. Lu Jingchuan said he wanted to compete with him fairly, and Lin Qing was also guarding against him getting close to Lin Jiaran.

Since they were 24 years old, their relationship has been in an icy state for more than two years. Even if Lin Jiaran did not respond to every word he said to her, she looked at him with hatred, as if he were an enemy.

"What are the reasons why you have kept your distance from me all these years?" Lu Jingshen asked in a low voice.

"A lot. The main reason is that I'm afraid you'll take advantage of me..."

Lu Jingshen kept these words firmly in his mind.
