    Lu Junting was still very busy, so he only came out for a long time free to accompany Lin Xiyu for the prenatal check-up. After eating and sending Lin Xiyu home, he went to the company again. Lu Junting's meeting ended in the afternoon. He sat on the back seat and pressed his finger between his eyebrows. After the car started and started for a while, it suddenly stopped. Lu Junting's face darkened and he asked, "What's wrong?"

    The driver pointed at him and pointed ahead, Lu Junting looked up and saw that there was someone blocking the car. At this time, it was in the underground garage of Changheng Group. Shen Jimei recognized his car and waited for him here on purpose.

    The car stopped, Shen Jimei walked to the rear window and knocked, Lu Junting rolled the window down, his condensed expression seemed to tell the person that he had limited patience.

    "Is something wrong?" Lu Junting asked her.

    Shen Jimei knew how hateful Lu Junting was when he was impatient with someone, so she simply said straight to the point: "Why does your wife look like me, is she the substitute you're looking for? You fell in love with me, right Lu Junting? ?"

    "Substitute? Does Miss Shen take herself too seriously?" Lu Junting frowned slightly, his expression became more serious, making people subconsciously fearful, he said lightly, "She is not someone's substitute."

    Regarding Lu Junting's ex-girlfriend, Lin Xiyu forgot about it within a few days, that is, when she learned that she was being used as a substitute, she felt uncomfortable for a while.

    Maybe she has a good impression of Lu Junting because he is the father of her child and because of his considerate care, but she knows that she and Lu Junting are not the same, and they are not the type to like each other, and the good impression of him is not out of liking Not out of love either, just for the same purpose - the hope that the child will be born.

    Lin Xiyu was quite open, as long as everyone was at peace before the child was born.

    This afternoon, Lin Xiyu received a call from Mrs. Lu as soon as she finished drinking the soup to protect the miscarriage. Mrs. Lu said she wanted to introduce someone to her.

    "She is the daughter-in-law of my mother's nephew. She has just given birth to a baby and has given birth to a little princess. She is chubby and cute. You can share your experience when you get to know her. She is a very humorous person and very funny."

    Lin Xiyu was worried that there were too few pregnant women to communicate with others. After hearing what Mrs. Lu said, she agreed after a while.

    The old lady Lu said again: "Then you can come back for a while, come to know each other at home first, and if you can chat, add contact information to each other."

    After Lu Junting came back from get off work, Lin Xiyu told him about it. Lu Junting had no reason to object, and said, "I'll take you back this weekend."

    "It's okay, just let the driver take me back."

    Lu Junting said, "I just happen to have something to discuss with grandpa."

    Alright, Lin Xiyu didn't delay any longer.

    The two went back to Lu's house together at the weekend. Mrs. Lu took Lin Xiyu and chatted for a while. Lu Yuan happened to be at home too, and leaned in front of Lin Xiyu to talk to her.

    Seeing that it was almost time, Mrs. Lu instructed the maid to wait for Miss Sun at the door. Miss Sun just came to pick her up.

    Shen Jimei knew that Lu Junting lived outside, but she didn't know the exact address, but she knew the address of Lu's house. A friend of hers was in a relationship with Lu Junting's friend. She also met Lu Junting through this friend, and that friend told him Lu's address.

    It's not easy to see Lu Junting, and it's even more difficult to see Lu Junting and her wife together. Shen Jimei just wanted to try her luck and wait on the road not far from Lu's house. Unexpectedly, she actually waited for Lu Junting's car. The Lu family should bring his wife, right?

    Shen Jimei drove the car to the entrance of Lu's house and stopped. From the outside, she could only see the majestic roof of Lu's house. A helper stood at the door. Shen Jimei took a deep breath and took the prepared documents. She knew that she was going to enter. It's not easy for the Lu family. He was about to pretend to be Lu Junting's assistant and come to deliver something. Who knew that before she even said a word, the maid smiled at her and said, "You are Miss Sun, right? Come in with me, everyone is waiting for you."

    Shen Jimei didn't know who Miss Sun was, but since she had the opportunity to enter the Lu family, she could pretend to be that Miss Sun for the time being. To Shen Jimei's surprise, she really entered the Lu family so smoothly.

    Everyone in the living room was sitting and laughing, and the helper came in and said, "Miss Sun is here."

    Everyone looked up and saw a girl came in behind the helper. Lin Xiyu looked at the girl who came in and couldn't help but be surprised. She had an impression of this girl. Isn't this Lu Junting's ex-girlfriend? How is she Miss Sun?

    The old lady Lu looked at the girl who came in and said suspiciously, "This is..."

    The maid was also very surprised, "Isn't this Miss Sun?" The maid had never seen Miss Sun, she just asked, and the other party also admitted that she was Miss Sun.

    Shen Jimei stepped forward and greeted Mrs. Lu politely, "Hello, Grandma Lu, I'm Lu Junting's ex-girlfriend. My name is Shen Jimei."

    The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes fell on Lu Junting's face. Mr. Lu was the first to come back to his senses and said coldly, "Lu Junting, what's going on?"

    Lu Junting's face was cold and he asked Shen Jimei, "What are you doing here?"

    The warning in his tone was too obvious, even if his voice was not too loud, but his aura was mixed with his words, and the words made one's heart tremble.

    Shen Jimei tried hard to keep herself calm and said, "Don't get me wrong, everyone, Lu Junting and I have broken up, and I'm here just to get my things back."

    "Your stuff? Why didn't I know you had something with me."

    Lu Junting sat on the back of the chair. His expression had returned to normal. He asked these questions slowly, but with a sense of oppression.

    Shen Jimei took a deep breath and said, "The painting I gave you had the two of us painted on it, when I was a little girl, I sat next to you and blew your wounds, do you remember this painting? ?"

    Shen Jimei's eyes showed a bit of provocation, and her eyes swept over to Lin Xiyu. She didn't know if this woman had seen the painting, the painting that Lu Junting used as an eyeball to protect.

    Lu Junting's performance was calmer than she imagined, or perhaps this person was so unfathomable, his tone didn't even make much waves, "Then tell me what brushes you used, and how many times did you use them? I'll see if it's the one I know."

    "It's been too long, I forgot."

    Lu Junting was impatient to deal with her, "Don't mess around here." He gestured to the helper, "Send the person out."

    It wasn't easy for Shen Jimei to come to Lu's house. Before she could finish her words, seeing the helper walking towards her, she had to hurry up and tell her purpose. She looked at Lin Xiyu and sneered: "I don't know your name, but seeing that you are younger than me, I will call you sister. Little sister, you are young, but don't be fooled by Lu Junting. Didn't you notice that we look a bit alike? Lu Junting uses you as a stand-in!"

    This didn't make Lin Xiyu react too much, but Lu Yuan, who was sitting next to Lin Xiyu, exploded, "Where is the crazy woman, what nonsense are you talking about?" Lu Yuan was about to stand up, but Lin Xiyu hurriedly stopped her. she.

    The old lady Lu was obviously provoked as well, and she reprimanded: "You came to my house without authorization, I have no knowledge of you, what are you talking nonsense about? What are you doing, hurry up and drive me out. "

    Mrs. Lu is usually kind, but when she gets angry, she is quite scary.

    A few servants went up together, very rude, and dragged Shen Jimei directly to the door, Shen Jimei was not reconciled, and turned back to Lin Xiyu and said, "I remind you kindly, Lu Junting may not be more than a substitute for you, you have to pay attention. already."

    Mrs. Lu swept Lu Junting coldly and said, "You need to solve your problem."

    Lu Junting got up and went outside, where the old lady Lu hurriedly said to Lin Xiyu: "Xixi, don't take that woman's words to your heart, what is a substitute not a substitute, Jun Ting and that woman have been dating for several years ago. She is unbalanced and deliberately makes you unhappy, and if you get angry about it, she will fall for her."

    Lin Xiyu smiled, but comforted Mrs. Lu, "Don't worry, grandma, I didn't take it to heart."

    Seeing that she didn't look angry, Mrs. Lu breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I'll let Jun Ting give you a good explanation for this matter, and we won't let you suffer in vain."

    Shen Jimei was taken out of the gate by the helper, and Lu Junting also came out. Shen Jimei sorted out the clothes that were shoved and messed up by the helper, and smiled sarcastically at Lu Junting, "Believe it or not, your wife must have begun to doubt now, are you? I really used her as a stand-in, and this doubt will follow her for the rest of my life."

    Lu Junting's expression didn't make too many waves, he just looked at her so calmly, his eyes made her feel like he was looking at a trivial clown.

    This made Shen Jimei a little frustrated.

    After a while of silence, Lu Junting suddenly took out his mobile phone and made a call.

    "Lawyer Zhang, have you collected the evidence of Shen Jimei's misappropriation of company funds that I asked you to help me last time? Very well, now you help me send this evidence to Prosecutor Qian. And... I will use you. Use all the means to deal with this matter properly, it is best to let Shen Jimei go to jail."

    After Lu Junting said this calmly, he hung up the phone, but Shen Jimei's expression changed, "Lu Junting, what do you mean?"

    "Take money to do things, and leave when things are done. Why do you want to make trouble with my family? Do you really take yourself seriously?"

    She and Lu Junting really started with a deal. At that time, there were some bad rumors about Lu Junting, such as rumors that he was gay. His family was very worried after knowing these rumors, probably to reassure the family, or to spend their energy on work with peace of mind. Just when they first met, he proposed to let her pretend to be a girlfriend, and he paid her. She and Lu Junting knew about this matter, and she said to the outside world that she was Lu Junting's girlfriend.

    At that time, she was very confident, thinking that he could fall in love with her. She wanted to retreat as an advance and deliberately broke up, but she didn't expect that he didn't take it seriously at all. Instead, she had been thinking about him for a long time, for him to let herself Become excellent, often go to his favorite restaurant just to meet him.

    Shen Jimei is a well-off family, but she has always spent a lot of money, but her family can't pay for her all. After graduation, she joined a company as an accountant, and took advantage of her position to embezzle a lot of money from the company to meet her own consumption. The embezzled money was made up, but the embezzlement of public funds did exist.

    What she is amazed is not only why Lu Junting knew about this, but why Lu Junting wanted to investigate her and get evidence that she had embezzled public funds, and it was obvious that he didn't start it today, he had already done it Prepare.

    Shen Jimei was angry, "Lu Junting, why are you investigating me?"

    Lu Junting said slowly, "Don't you know? What I'm best at is planning ahead." His eyes turned cold, but his tone was still slow, "In order to prevent ignorant people like you."

    "Good luck, Miss Shen."

    After saying this, he turned and left.

    The development of things was so fast that Shen Jimei was completely unexpected. Lu Junting's anger that he would send her to jail was greater than everything. Shen Jimei suppressed his anger and said to his back: "Lu Junting, you won't really let her go. I'm going to jail, right?"

    Lu Junting ignored her and left without looking back.

    Lu Junting returned to the living room. Only Mrs. Lu and Zhang Yao were there. When Mrs. Lu saw him come in, she gave him a sideways glance and asked in a deep voice, "Have you solved it?"

    Lu Junting said: "It's all settled, where did Xixi go?"

    The old lady Lu said, "I went to the tea room with Lu Yuan for some snacks."

    The tea room is a waterside pavilion in the Chinese garden in the backyard of the Lu family. Lin Xiyu was listening to Lu Yuan's words while biting the beef jerky.

    "Why are you saying that woman is so shameless? It's been a long time since we broke up. Even knowing that my eldest brother is married, he came to provoke me. Why did you stop me just now? I'm so angry that I have nowhere to vent. ."

    Lu Yuan hammered the table so loudly that Lin Xiyu felt that she was going crazy.

    "Okay, everyone is gone, what are you thinking about?"

    Lu Yuan glanced at her, the beef was quite good, she chewed it happily, Lu Yuan looked angry, "Why didn't you say a word just now? Didn't you hear her say that you are a substitute, what a face. Ah, as a stand-in, who she thinks she is, you should stand up and kill her directly."

    Lu Junting walked outside the water pavilion, the sound insulation was not very good, and the voices of the voices inside came out clearly, and his action of knocking on the door stopped when he heard the conversations inside.

    Hearing this, Lin Xiyu shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Maybe I'm really a stand-in."

    Lu Yuan's angry expression froze for a moment, she stared at Lin Xiyu's face for a few seconds, and asked, "How do you know?"

    Lin Xiyu said, "She's right. I do look a bit similar to her. Maybe that's why Brother Junting didn't hold back that night."

    "Isn't it?" Although Lu Yuan said so, her face was filled with suspicion, "If my elder brother really uses you as a substitute, then he will be a bit of an asshole." Lu Yuan was afraid that she would be too concerned to affect her mood to raise a child. , was about to comfort her a few words, but she saw that she was okay, she had been chewing beef jerky since she entered the tea room, and she was very energetic. She knew Lin Xiyu very well, and generally when she was in a bad mood, it would affect her appetite, in other words , Usually when she has a good appetite, her mood is not a big problem. Lu Yuan asked with a puzzled face, "You don't care at all?"

    "What do you care about?"

    "My big brother uses you as a substitute."

    "What's there to care about? It's not that you don't know the situation between me and Brother Jun Ting, but it's just that Lushui's love has a child and has to get married."

    "But you are his wife after all."

    Lin Xiyu answered quite simply, "What about my wife, and I don't like him, it doesn't matter to me what he thinks."

    The door made of wood has poor sound insulation, so Lin Xiyu's words naturally reached Lu Junting who was standing outside the door.

    As soon as Lin Xiyu finished speaking, she heard a knock on the door, neither light nor heavy, Lu Yuan responded, the door was pushed open, and Lu Junting came in from the outside.

    He seemed to have a layer of bleak coolness in the autumn, and as soon as he walked in, the room suddenly became several degrees colder.

    As soon as Lu Yuan saw him come in, like a mouse seeing a cat, she stood up and said, "Well, I have something to do first, so you can talk slowly." After speaking, she ran away.

    Lin Xiyu didn't expect Lu Junting to come over. He was holding a piece of beef jerky in his hand. As soon as he came in, she put the beef jerky back subconsciously. There was still something left in her mouth. The beef jerky was very chewy. Even after chewing for a long time, Lu Junting swept his gaze towards her. Lin Xiyu was a little embarrassed. She covered her mouth and chewed the beef jerky for a few times, then greeted with a dry smile, "Brother Junting."

    Lu Junting sat down where Lu Yuan had just sat, and the two were separated by a tea table. He glanced at her. Ever since he came in, the girl had been sitting upright and followed the students who saw the teacher entering the classroom to inspect. Same.

    "Is beef jerky delicious?"

    "It's delicious." Lin Xiyu said honestly.

    "If it's delicious, keep eating."

    "I don't eat, I just ate a lot."

    The two fell silent. The tea room was not big, and the surrounding environment was quiet. Once silenced, it seemed especially cramped. Lu Junting's presence was too strong, and this kind of repulsive aura made Lin Xiyu quickly restless.

    "I'm sorry I didn't handle this matter well. But don't take Shen Jimei's words to heart." Lu Junting said suddenly, "I've broken up with her for many years, and I haven't contacted her since we broke up. You're not someone's stand-in. , you are yourself."

    Is he afraid of her being over-hearted, and he even explained something to her? Lin Xiyu didn't want him to feel that she took this matter to heart and felt guilty, she hurriedly expressed her attitude, "It's okay, Brother Junting, I don't take it seriously, even if you really take me as a stand-in, it's nothing to be sorry to me. Yes, you are good enough to me, and there is nothing to owe me, anyway, we will be separated after the child is born, it doesn't really matter if you are a substitute or not, you don't need to feel guilty or anything, we are just like before Get along just like that.”

    Lin Xiyu thought that her explanation would make Lu Junting breathe a sigh of relief, but there was no expression of relief on his face. When these words fell, his eyes suddenly fell on her, and she could clearly feel that his aura turned cold. , but there was a little bit of anger in the eyes that looked at her.

    People like Lu Junting are the best at hiding their emotions, but now, she can clearly feel that he is angry.

    Lin Xiyu felt inexplicable, and she tentatively asked, "Brother Junting, what's the matter?"

    Her trembling eyes were filled with inquiry, like a small animal facing a threat, with fear clearly engraved on her face. Lu Junting turned back, his face quickly returned to normal, he stood up and said, "It's nothing, go back first."

    Lin Xiyu breathed a sigh of relief, got up and left with him. Unexpectedly, as soon as the door of Shuixie was opened, he saw Lu Junfeng standing outside.

    The weather in autumn is very chilling. There is no sun today, the sky is full of clouds, and the wind blows, adding a little coolness. Dyeing the desolation of autumn, Lu Junfeng's complexion was also gloomy.

    "What are you doing here?" Lu Junting asked.

    Lu Junfeng clenched his hands into fists, and said, "I heard everything you said. You weren't together before you got married, right?"

    Lin Xiyu's complexion changed greatly, how did Lu Junfeng know it so coincidentally.

    Lu Junfeng continued: "I once knew from Yan Yutong the day when Xixi was pregnant. I calculated that it should have been conceived near the day she graduated. I remember that day when Xixi was drunk, I asked my brother to find a girl. The assistant went to pick her up. Later, I asked the hotel manager that it was you who picked her up that day. I was suspicious at first, but I am now convinced that you had sex on that day. to her, right?"

    Lu Junfeng's question was not polite at all, and Lin Xiyu broke out in a cold sweat. She hurriedly said, "It's not what you think. You can't blame Brother Junting for what happened that day."

    Lu Junfeng had been suppressing his anger, but after hearing Lin Xiyu's words, he finally couldn't hold back, "Why are you still speaking for him? It's because you were drunk that he took advantage of others' dangers, and he was such a bastard that he regarded you as his ex-girlfriend. substitute."

    Lin Xiyu was about to speak, but Lu Junting blocked her back, completely isolating her from Lu Junfeng's sight.

    "Lu Junfeng, it's not up to you to inquire about my personal affairs."

    Lu Junting's tone was calm, but he was full of aura, and his words were full of majesty and warning.

    Lu Junfeng is angry now, how can he not be angry, he asked Lu Junting to pick up Lin Xiyu, and he caused this incident by accident.

    How can people who are angry can manage so much, he said angrily: "I trust you so much, let you help me pick up Xixi, but you are taking advantage of people's danger, you say if I tell my grandparents about this, they will Will you do justice for Xixi?"

    Lin Xiyu was startled, she looked at Lu Junting, his expression didn't change much, and his tone didn't waver, "If you want the two old people to fall to the ground after a stroke, you can go and tell them."

    Lu Junfeng frowned violently, he took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then said to Lin Xiyu: "Xixi, I know you don't like my eldest brother, you married him for the sake of the child, don't worry, I will I have been waiting for you, I have broken up with Yan Yutong, and I will not reconcile in the future. Now I can control my own life. When the child is born in the future, if you are still willing to stay with me, I will take you to a faraway place. Local life, we forget the past and start over.”

    Lin Xiyu was also speechless, why did Lu Junfeng say this at this time?

    Lu Junting's whole body was even more cold, she could even feel an overwhelming killing intent, like a sharp sword waiting to be washed with blood.

    Lin Xiyu was taken aback by this thought, but Lu Junting's expression was still calm. Those eyes were dark and deep, but they were a little gloomy because of the autumn sun.

    "Lu Junfeng, I'd better not be wishful thinking."

    Shen Shen's words, with a warning, hit people's hearts.

    Lu Junfeng clenched his fists, glanced at Lin Xiyu, didn't say anything more, turned and left.

    A cool autumn wind hit, Lin Xiyu shuddered, and Lu Junting turned his head slightly and said, "Let's go." His tone was still calm, as if he didn't take Lu Junfeng's words seriously at all.

    Back in the living room, Lu Junfeng was not there, and Miss Sun finally arrived late. It turned out that she was stuck in traffic on the road. Miss Sun had just given birth to her child, and her figure was a little fatter, but she was cheerful and humorous. Lin Xiyu chatted with her for a while, and was influenced by her humorous and talkative attitude, and her worry gradually disappeared.

    Staying at Lu's house for dinner at night, when Lu Junfeng was not around, Jiang Lisu told everyone that Lu Junfeng was not feeling well and stopped eating. Hearing this, Lin Xiyu was inexplicably relieved. What she was most afraid of was that when Lu Junfeng exposed the matter in public, it would not end well.

    After dinner, Lin Xiyu and Lu Junting got into the car together. In the evening, Lu Junting drank some wine. The two got into the car and sat in a closed space. Lin Xiyu quickly smelled the alcohol odor from him.

    He took off his coat and wore only a shirt. In the dim light, this shirt looked more textured and made him more expensive. He was sitting on the back of the chair, probably drinking too much alcohol made him uncomfortable, and he rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers. Seeing this, Lin Xiyu hesitated for a while but asked with concern, "Brother Junting, are you alright?"

    "It's okay." The wine-stained voice was slightly hoarse, and it was smudged by the night, which made it seem particularly magnetic.

    After he finished speaking, one arm suddenly lay across the back of the chair. His arm was long and stretched directly behind Lin Xiyu. His body was lazy, and his arm was probably just to relax.

    Lin Xiyu's body froze for a moment, and subconsciously moved a little away from his arm. However, as soon as he turned his head, he met Lu Junting's gaze.

    In the dark carriage, because of drinking alcohol, his eyes were flushed a little, and the light was not very bright. His eyes were infected with alcohol, showing a kind of blur, but when he looked at people, his eyes seemed to have a kind of blur. Penetration. Lin Xiyu didn't dare to meet such eyes at all, and hurriedly avoided it.

    "Do you dislike me so much?" he said suddenly, his voice deliberately lowered, with a sense of heaviness.

    Lin Xiyu looked at him with a puzzled face, and Lu Junting said again, "Don't want me to touch you?"

    Did she mean that he just stretched out his arm, and she avoided it subconsciously, Lin Xiyu said, "I'm afraid of pressing your hand and want you to sleep more comfortably?"

    "Didn't you dislike me?" he asked.

    "No."

    "Then sit down."

    "..."

    There seemed to be a smile in his eyes, and there was ridicule in his smile, as if he was mocking her for telling lies, and he was certain that she would not sit there.

    Lin Xiyu adjusted his breathing and moved a little closer to him. The gradually strong smell of alcohol quickly enveloped his nose, and there was a faint smell of coldness on him.

    "Come a little more."

    Lin Xiyu bit her lip. She didn't know what Lu Junting was going to do. Did he misunderstand that she was disgusting her, so she was teaching her a lesson?

    She bit her head and sat down a little further, and she was close to his body, and the distance was so close that it made people feel ambiguous.

    He leaned his head against the back of the chair, turned his head to face her, his warm breath floated on her face, and a strong smell of wine came over her, she felt his body was hot, and he was close to him , the heat from his body was rushing towards her, and she was wrapped in the heat and felt that her body was starting to heat.

    Lin Xiyu lowered his head and asked him, "Brother Junting, are you drinking too much?"

    "fine."

    When he spoke, a hotter breath blew on her face, Lin Xiyu shuddered, and her eyes flickered a few times.

    However, he suddenly frowned and pulled his tie a few times, which seemed to make him more comfortable. He leaned his head on the back of the chair. Originally, he just raised his head to close his eyes, but after a few breaths, he suddenly turned his head to face her. They were sitting close to each other. approached, but he moved a little closer to her, his lips almost touching his ears.

    In the silent carriage, his hoarse voice suddenly asked her, "Are you going to run with Lu Junfeng after giving birth?"

    Lin Xiyu: "..."
