759 I’m Not Close To You
“Fourth Miss Ji.” Lu Shaoyang frowned and clenched his fists. A dark light flashed in his eyes. He said with a serious face, “Why do you have to say such unpleasant things? You don’t understand my relationship with Hanxing at all, so there’s no room for you to question anything.” What was she? When he first met Shen Hanxing, Ji Qian was still living her life overseas! She didn’t know anything, so what right did she have to point fingers at his relationship with Shen Hanxing?
“I don’t know what relationship I have with you, Mr. Lu,” Shen Hanxing sneered and looked up with a cold gaze, “I’m not that familiar with you, Young Master Lu.” She did not hesitate to draw a clear line between them. Ever since she was young, Shen Hanxing had been aware of her situation. She was even more aware that she and Lu Shaoyang were from two completely different worlds. He was a little prince who grew up in a castle. He did not suffer from the hardships of the world and lived a comfortable life. He was completely different from her, who had grown up in the slums. He did not understand that she had exhausted all her strength just to survive. She did not have the mood to indulge in love at all. She could not be as full of love as he was. How could a hungry person have the right to talk about love? She had indulged Lu Shaoyang before, mostly because she envied his harmonious family and the carefree life he had.
Shen Hanxing felt that she was telling the truth, but Lu Shaoyang’s face was pale and he looked like he had been dealt a huge blow. This was not the first time he had heard such heartless words from Shen Hanxing, but every time he heard it, it hurt him deeply and he found it hard to face it. Did she have to be so cold to him?
“Hanxing, sometimes I really wonder if you have a heart.” Lu Shaoyang pursed his dry lips and forced a smile. He asked, “Do I really have no place in your heart?” Every time he thought about it, he couldn’t take it lying down. What was not good enough about him? He had offered her a warm heart, but not only did she not accept it, but her attitude was even colder than a stranger’s. What did he do wrong?
“I’m sorry, my heart is very small, I don’t have space for irrelevant people.” Shen Hanxing was unmoved. She said coldly, “Instead of wasting your time on me, you should care more about the people around you, Young Master Lu.”
“What’s there to be proud of?” At that moment, an unhappy mumble was heard from the side. It was unclear which family’s young master had brought a girl here, but she was looking at Shen Hanxing with a disgruntled expression. Sensing that everyone was looking at her, the girl subconsciously shrank her neck, then raised her head in a self-righteous manner. “What are you looking at? I didn’t say anything wrong. Young Master Lu was being polite when he greeted her. What’s with her attitude?” She even glared at Shen Hanxing before turning to Lu Shaoyang with a smile.
It had been a long time since someone had treated her like this. Shen Hanxing looked at the girl calmly. There was no emotion in her clear eyes as if it was a small matter that was not worth mentioning to her.
“Polite? Was it polite to refer to a married woman in such an intimate manner? Calling my sister-in-law Hanxing?” Ji Qian laughed coldly and retorted, “If you’re just being polite, then I’m sorry that our Ji family’s thinking is backward. We’re not as open-minded as you guys.” Her sister-in-law was already married, and Lu Shaoyang still didn’t know how to keep an appropriate distance. He used his love as an excuse to cover up the fact that he wanted to interfere in someone else’s marriage. Ji Qian didn’t deny that there were many couples in the industry who were married on the surface, but in reality, they had their own lovers. However, the Ji family didn’t have such a rule.
Ji Ning clenched her fists as well. She was slow-witted and couldn’t come up with anything to refute, so she simply stood beside Shen Hanxing and glared at the girl who had just spoken, expressing her support and protection for Shen Hanxing. Shen Hanxing couldn’t help but smile when she saw the two of them, and she felt a little warm inside.
“The Ji family?” The girl was stunned. Her eyes widened and her face paled as she asked, “Which Ji family?”
Seeing her frightened look, Ji Qian sized her up and asked, “Since when is there another Ji family in S City? ”
The girl’s face turned pale in disbelief. The Ji Corporation? That Ji family? Hanxing… Then wasn’t this the famous Mrs. Ji? She suddenly felt extremely remorseful. She wished she could turn back time and go back to the past to cover her mouth. Why did she have to say so much?! Why did she have to speak?! So many people at the scene did not say anything, but she couldn’t wait to step out to leave a good impression on Lu Shaoyang. Wasn’t she looking for trouble?
