"Brother, why are you speaking up for her?"
Lu Wan Ying couldn't believe it. She thought her brother would side with her and a preposterous guess arose in her mind, "Could it be that you also like that Shen Qing Qing?"
Lu Jun Ze cast her a speechless glance, "Stop talking nonsense."
"Then why aren't you helping me?"
Lu Jun Ze took a deep breath and said sternly, "In short, I'm warning you, don't cause any more trouble. Shen Qing Qing hasn't offended you, so don't keep bothering her. Otherwise, even I won't be able to save you."
Having been friends for many years, he understood Qing Qing too well.
Her methods were nothing compared to Lu Wan Ying's childish schemes. She simply chose not to act.
Lu Wan Ying, however, didn't believe him and felt he was being biased. "I'm your sister, and you're warning me. You should be standing up for me, you should go deal with her!"
She went up to her brother and put on a spoiled act.
Lu Jun Ze stood up, somewhat impatient, and warned her one last time, "Just stay home and don't cause trouble."
He then turned and strode away.
Lu Wan Ying bit her lip in hatred. Suddenly, her gaze fell upon Lu Jun Ze's phone left on the table, which was playing a financial news program.
Her eyes flickered, and a plan formed in her mind.
That evening, Shen Qing Qing received a text message from Lu Jun Ze, asking her to meet for dinner the next day. Although she didn't know why, she agreed.
The venue was the Vienna Hotel.
The restaurant downstairs in the hotel had excellent food, and Shen Qing Qing quite enjoyed it.
Upon arriving, she saw Lu Jun Ze already seated by the window. Seeing her, he managed a smile, "You're here. Sit down quickly. I've ordered all your favorite dishes."
Shen Qing Qing sat opposite him, feeling a bit thirsty, "Let's get two drinks."
"Okay."
Lu Jun Ze ordered two glasses of orange juice and then asked casually, "How have you and Master Fu been lately?"
Shen Qing Qing's expression was indifferent, "How else? Same old."
"Have you made up?"
She remained silent.
Lu Jun Ze sighed softly and didn't say much, only asking, "You asked me to..."
Before he could finish, a waiter brought over two glasses of orange juice, and he swallowed his words. He picked up the glass of orange juice in front of him and took a sip.
A startled cry came from across the table.
He quickly looked over, only to find that the waiter had somehow trembled, spilling an entire glass of orange juice onto Shen Qing Qing's skirt.
The waiter quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!"
Shen Qing Qing frantically grabbed tissues to wipe the drink from her clothes, but the liquid had soaked into the fabric and wouldn't come off. Moreover, the smell of orange juice was strong.
It made her smell like an orange.
"How do you do your job?" Lu Jun Ze stood up, looked at her skirt, and frowned, "You should go change first. I'll get you a room."
"Forget it, I'll just go home and change."
"But you can't go out like this." She was wearing a sheer, ethereal, and very beautiful outfit today, but once it was wet, her skin became faintly visible.
If she were to go out like this, it would attract far too many male gazes.
Shen Qing Qing didn't want to be stared at, so she followed the profusely apologizing waiter to a room. Afterward, the waiter brought a new set of clothes.
"I'm truly sorry, Miss Shen. It's all my fault. Please wash up quickly and change. These clothes were sent by Mr. Lu."
"It's fine, you can go."
After this incident, Lu Jun Ze lost his appetite. After waiting for a while and not seeing Shen Qing Qing come down, he asked the waiter which room she was in and intended to go check on her.
The waiter, with an apologetic tone, said, "I'll take you there."
They arrived at the door of the room. The waiter stopped outside, and Lu Jun Ze pushed the door open. As he looked up, a flash of stunning beauty crossed his eyes.
He saw Shen Qing Qing emerging from the room, wearing a very revealing red dress.
The dress was very short, only slightly longer than below her hips. As she walked out, her brows were tightly furrowed. In particular, her chest revealed a deep cleavage.
She looked up and saw the dumbfounded Lu Jun Ze, saying irritably, "Why did you send me such clothes?"
Lu Jun Ze stammered, a little confused, "I didn't. But, it truly is beautiful."
"Stop joking!" If it weren't for that last sentence, Shen Qing Qing might have believed he hadn't sent them. Covering the top, she couldn't cover the bottom. It was exasperating. "What kind of terrible clothes are these? They're not as good as my original outfit!"
Lu Jun Ze coughed softly, suppressing a smile, "If you really dislike it, I can have someone bring you another set."
"Send more? I don't even dare to wear the terrible clothes you sent!"
"What do you mean I sent them? Don't falsely accuse me." Lu Jun Ze cried out indignantly. Knowing she disliked the outfit, he gentlemanly averted his gaze, not looking at her, "Didn't you ask the waiter to buy it yourself?"
"I didn't."
Lu Jun Ze turned his head and saw Shen Qing Qing's serious expression, instantly realizing something was wrong. "It wasn't you who asked the waiter to buy it?"
Shen Qing Qing shook her head and beckoned him with her finger, "My coat."
Lu Jun Ze had no choice but to take off his coat and give it to her. "I didn't ask them to buy it either. I was going to buy it, but the waiter said you had already instructed them, and even paid. So I..."
He narrowed his eyes suddenly. Something was wrong. Everything today was wrong.
Shen Qing Qing also thought of something. "Just now, when I first entered the restaurant, you said I asked you to meet. What did you mean?"
She thought she had misheard at the time, but now, she suspected she hadn't.
"Didn't you reply to me saying to meet at the Vienna Hotel today at noon?" Lu Jun Ze later took his phone and found a message on it.
He took out his phone and showed it to Shen Qing Qing.
Shen Qing Qing glanced at it and said coldly, "No need to look. I sent it. But before I sent you a message, you sent me one, asking me to set the time and place."
Lu Jun Ze knitted his brows. Thinking of seeing Lu Wan Ying last night, his expression immediately darkened.
"This wretched girl!"
Shen Qing Qing didn't ask who he was referring to. She turned and walked towards the door, "We need to leave. The person behind this scheme definitely has more moves."
Unfortunately, she pushed the door, but it wouldn't budge.
"The door is locked."
Lu Jun Ze thought of the waiter who had brought him in earlier. "It must have been him. Perhaps the orange juice was intentional."
Shen Qing Qing pursed her lips and took out her phone, preparing to call the police. Just then, there was a sound from the door, as if someone was opening it. She and Lu Jun Ze exchanged a glance and simultaneously looked towards the entrance.
The next second, the door opened, and Fu Jing Shu stood at the doorway.
Seeing him, Shen Qing Qing knew what today's plan was about. She instinctively glanced at the coat on her body, wondering if she had inadvertently helped the person behind the scheme.
Being alone, wearing his clothes, it didn't look good at all.
Lu Jun Ze frowned and spoke first, "Fu Jing Shu, don't misunderstand. Her original clothes were stained with orange juice, so..."
Fu Jing Shu cast him a brief glance, took the coat from Shen Qing Qing's shoulder, saw her clothes, and frowned. Then, he took off his own coat and draped it over her.
"Let's go, I'll take you home."
