My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 505: Leaking Like a Sieve
Chapter 505: Chapter 505: Leaking Like a Sieve
Lu Youbang and Lu Youzhen, the siblings, probably wouldn’t dare to pester Lu Youxi again. When had they provoked her this time?
"This matter, when you speak of it, is just revolting," Lu Youxi then shared the incident of encountering Lu Youbang and Lu Youzhen with Lin Jingshen at the KTV, "It wasn’t a big deal. If they wanted to mingle with Lin Jingshen, let the lousy ones flock together. But seeing Lu Youzhen dressed up so similarly to me disgusted me. And I’m even more grossed out by Lin Jingshen. What was he thinking?"
"I hadn’t noticed it myself at first; it was Ji Deyi who told me about it after we left the KTV. He said that Lu Youzhen’s outfit that night looked a lot like mine, and at a glance, it was quite easy to mistake one for the other," Lu Youxi explained. freewёbnoνel.com
"I’m used to dressing this way myself and I also know Lu Youzhen very well, so no matter how she dresses up, I certainly wouldn’t recognize her wrong, which is why I didn’t feel anything was amiss when I saw her that night. On the contrary, Ji Deyi and Pei Jingyuan, who had not seen Lu Youzhen before, spotted it in an instant. Thinking back, it was indeed the case."
"Lu Youzhen never used to dress like that," Lu Youxi rubbed her arms where the hairs stood on end with disgust, "I’d originally forgotten all about this, but the recent mess with Lu Youzhen’s pregnancy brought it to mind again. The more I think about it, the more repulsed I feel."
"That’s why I say Lu Youzhen and Lin Jingshen deserve each other. They’re probably both sick in the head," Lu Youxi said with a face full of disgust, "I don’t even know what Lin Jingshen is really trying to do."
Zhou Shuyan knew Lin Jingshen’s thoughts all too well.
Lin Jingshen liked Lu Youxi, but at first, while he liked her, he also felt that her family background did not match his.
His affection for Lu Youxi was like charity.
Had Lu Youxi reciprocated, the two might have actually ended up together.
Even with Lu Youxi’s charm, she might have eventually made Lin Jingshen settle down and, despite his family’s opposition, marry her.
But the reality was that Lu Youxi did not fancy Lin Jingshen at all and had publicly declared her married status when Lin Jingshen pursued her.
This made Lin Jingshen lose face.
Without having deeply fallen for Lu Youxi yet, just initially attracted by her looks, Lin Jingshen naturally couldn’t accept being rejected by a woman who he didn’t even respect from the bottom of his heart.
It’s not as dramatic as love turning to hatred, but he definitely found Lu Youxi extremely displeasing to the eye.
Including later slandering Lu Youxi, seeing her doing poorly brought an inexplicable joy to Lin Jingshen’s heart.
But this only made Lu Youxi detest him more, even to the point of finding him repulsive.
Besides, with Lu Youxi’s exceptional abilities, she looked down even more on Lin Jingshen’s petty schemes, worthless in the grand scheme.
Yet in Lin Jingshen’s eyes, the fact that Lu Youxi could like a husband inferior to him in every way and not like him was even more intolerable.
But the more he felt this way, the more Lin Jingshen couldn’t let go of Lu Youxi.
On one hand, due to pride and self-respect, he firmly refused to admit he still liked Lu Youxi, even finding trouble with her repeatedly to prove it.
On the other hand, he couldn’t help being attracted to Lu Youzhen, deliberately imitating Lu Youxi.
Put that way, Lu Youzhen could be considered a substitute for Lu Youxi.
It’s just uncertain whether Lu Youzhen knows it and, if so, whether she is willing to play that part. If she is, then she and Lin Jingshen are indeed perfectly matched.
Zhou Shuyan went back to Grandma Xu’s house with Lu Youxi. While Lu Youxi was helping in the kitchen, Zhou Shuyan took the opportunity to slip out, find a corner, and make a call.
"Look into the relationship between Lu Youzhen and Lin Jingshen," Zhou Shuyan said. "Lu Youzhen is pregnant and wants to use the child to get a marriage certificate with Lin Jingshen. Investigate the details of their relationship."
At this point, Zhou Shuyan wasn’t suspicious; he just felt that both Lin Jingshen and Lu Youzhen were dishonest, and a thorough investigation might turn up something.
With their character, who knows what kind of sieve-like holes they may have left in their affairs.
During dinner, Liu Yushu routinely asked Lu Zhenguo, "I was busy in the kitchen just now and didn’t get to it. How are mom and dad doing at Ge Guifen’s place?"
"I didn’t go in," Lu Zhenguo said gloomily, "We overheard at the door that Lu Youzhen is pregnant."
"Pregnant?" Liu Yushu exclaimed in surprise.
Grandma Xu also looked at Lu Zhenguo in astonishment, "Isn’t she just a freshman this year? How did she get pregnant? Does she not plan on continuing her education?"
"I heard from Xiao Lin that she wasn’t doing well academically, and getting into her current school already took some effort," Grandma Xu said in surprise, "It was so hard for her to get in, and she even had the potential to become a flight attendant. How could she just get pregnant like that?"
"Remember Lin Jingshen?" Lu Zhenguo said.
Grandma Xu and Liu Yushu nodded together.
They remembered very well the person who framed Lu Youxi.
"It’s Lin Jingshen’s," Lu Zhenguo said gravely.
"How did those two get together?" Liu Yushu and Grandma Xu, who now ran a small restaurant, although it wasn’t big, had witnessed quite a lot.
"Isn’t Lin Jingshen’s family the ones who run a big company? People from such families are very particular about social standings, aren’t they?" Liu Yushu said, "Youxi’s classmates work part-time at our internet cafe and restaurant, and I’ve heard them say so. They mentioned that Lin Jingshen’s parents have high demands on him and even higher expectations for his partner. Although many girls at their school like Lin Jingshen, none really pursue him. This is because at some school event, his parents also attended."
"One look and you know they are not to be trifled with, both parents look down on others. They have a very dismissive attitude towards common people. Even without saying it outright, in their words and behavior, they suggest that ordinary girls shouldn’t set their sights on Lin Jingshen."
Liu Yushu pursed her lips and said, "Such a family, even if they really came across an ordinary girl who truly loved Lin Jingshen, and were lucky enough that Lin Jingshen was willing to take responsibility and eventually married her, her position in the Lin Family wouldn’t be good."
"Rather than that, it’s better to find an ordinary person and live an average life," Liu Yushu continued, "After all, everyone has their troubles. Marrying into the Lin Family may seem like becoming a Young Madam on the surface, but how many worries lie beneath only she would know. Marrying an ordinary person might not be as affluent, and there are other troubles, but at least one can hold one’s head high and not have to look at others’ faces."
Lu Youxi nodded, "You see it clearly."
Liu Yushu, complimented by Lu Youxi, blushed a little, "I’m just saying."
