Revenge Sevenfold-Chapter 18 Daughter-In-Law

"You could work at the company and become my secretary."

Although his voice was casual, as if what he was suggesting was only something he had thought of just now, it was an invitation that he had been thinking for over half an hour.

If Hui Yin worked at the company, she would always be somewhere on his line of sight.

That way, she couldn't run away from him anymore.

"No!" Hui Yin didn't hesitate to reject him.

If she worked at his company, Hui Yin would only find herself more bound to him than ever. Not only would she be under Lu Shen, if Nian Zhen became his wife again in this lifetime, there would be no telling what they would do to her.

Hui Yin remembered the way that car had slammed into her body...

She shuddered.

At the sound of the girl's quick snub of his offer, Lu Shen found himself gripping the phone hard with his hand. He took a deep breath before he could lose his temper, reciting the numbers of pi inside his head.

The stubbornness of this woman could easily drive him mad!

"Fine," he said coldly. "Just make sure you don't come begging to me for money."

He hung up.

The temperature of the car had turned frigid, making Cheng Manchu feel like he was on the bottom of a frozen lake. He glanced at the rearview mirror, shivering in fear.

Why is the big boss so scary today? He seemed fine just a few seconds ago! What could have happened to make him look like he had personally slayed the King of Hell? Did he and Miss Hui had a fight again?

"Drive back to the old house," ordered Lu Shen, his eyes dark like the blackest ink.

Cheng Manchu gulped, but gathered the last bits of his courage. "Uh, that...aren't we following Miss Hui?"

"Don't make me repeat myself."

Feeling like he was in a mountain of blades and a sea of fire, Cheng Manchu immediately did as he was ordered.

The Great Dragon King is scary! Too scary!

He was just a driver, but why did he feel like the cannon fodder of a horror movie?

...

Back at the old family house, Lu Shen strode in only to hear tinkling laughter coming from the kitchen.

He could hear the two elders chatting very happily, so he decided to take a look.

Nian Zhen was taking things out of her luggage, which she then presented to the elders with a humble look.

"Auntie, Uncle, I bought things abroad that I thought you might like...I just saw them and I immediately thought of you!"

It was easy to see at first glance that the items on the table were very expensive...

"You dear girl, you shouldn't have!" Mrs. Lu was greatly touched.

"Such kindness, you should have been our daughter-in-law!" Even the old master was full of praises for Nian Zhen. Indeed, the Nian and the Lu family had been great friends for a very long time.

Not only that, the Nian family were only second to them in power. If Nian Zhen and Lu Shen had gotten married, it would truly be a pairing that could topple mountains and overturn seas!

Lu Yongzheng's eyes tightened. If only his own son hadn't been so determined to keep his word to a lowly actress, this sort of calamity wouldn't have happened.

"Don't say that, Uncle," said Nian Zhen, as she blushed like a shy girl in front of the two elders. "Yinyin is amazing too, she went to pick me up at the airport earlier with Lu Shen."

Mrs. Lu was disgruntled. "What's so great about that? She probably only went there to suck up to you. I heard actresses from the entertainment industry had to do dark and disgusting things just to get to the top! With a daughter-in-law like that, how could I bear to show my face in public?"
