Lu Shao is cunning; Miss Nan has fallen for his tricks again.

Chapter 48 Sang Tingwan, the Flower-Obsessed Girl
Lu Zhiyan chuckled, watching Nan Xu walk into the airport until she was completely out of sight. Only then did Lu Zhiyan start the car and drive away.

At the airport, Sang Tingwan had already bought her plane ticket and was just waiting to check in her luggage with Nan Xu.

After checking in their luggage, Nan Xu and Sang Tingwan waited in the VIP lounge.

Nan Xu casually grabbed two bottles of water, unscrewed the caps, and took a sip to moisten her throat.

He handed another bottle to Sang Tingwan, then leisurely sat on the leather sofa and played on his phone.

Sang Tingwan had never seen a VIP waiting room before, and she was quite curious, so she looked around.

Everything felt new and exciting.

Soon after, someone came to remind them to board the plane.

Nan Xu carried her handbag in one hand and pulled Sang Tingwan, who was full of curiosity, with the other, and walked out.

"Okay, stop looking, let's board."

Sang Tingwan looked away. "I understand, Sister Nan."

Half an hour later, Lu Zhiyan parked the car in the yard.

As soon as I pushed open the villa's door, I felt a sense of desolation.

Lu Zhiyan casually tossed his car keys onto the cabinet in the entryway.

He had only been gone for half an hour, and he was already missing her.

Lu Zhiyan took out his phone and sent a message to Nan Xu: Give me a call when you land.

He had forgotten to say anything after being teased by Nan Xu.

As soon as Nanxu boarded the plane, she turned off her phone and closed her eyes to rest.

After waiting for a while, I still didn't receive a reply from Nanxu.

"They've probably already boarded the plane," Lu Zhiyan thought.

Shu Youli has been listless in her apartment for several days and is still in a daze.

I haven't seen Shu Youli at the company or at home these past few days.

He wouldn't normally act like this, so Mr. Shu already had a hunch.

She's probably Lin Jingshu's daughter.

Sure enough, when I asked Shu's mother today, I learned that Lin Jingshu's daughter had already hooked up with the president of the Lu Corporation.

Shu's father despised Shu Youli from the bottom of his heart for degrading himself for the sake of a mere woman.

But he had to admit that the company couldn't do without Shu Youli.

He's getting old and doesn't have the energy to expand new projects for his subsidiaries.

Ultimately, he still had to use Shu Youli.

Suppressing his anger, Mr. Shu asked Mrs. Shu, "Where is he?"

Shu's mother stammered out a few words, "In, in the apartment in Beiting Bay."

Unable to contain his anger, Shu's father slammed the door and left.

He immediately had the butler take him to Beiting Bay.

Half an hour later, we arrived at Beiting Bay.

Shu's father stormed off the elevator and knocked on Shu Youli's door.

Upon hearing the knock on the door, Shu Youli rubbed his temples, his eyes bruised and his beard unkempt, and got up from the sofa.

There was no room to step on the living room floor; it was littered with bottles and cigarette butts.

Shu Youli put on slippers and barely managed to find a place to step out from the pile of wine bottles.

The knocking on the door grew louder and louder.

He frowned and opened the door. Outside, Mr. Shu pulled the door open forcefully, and the smell of alcohol and cigarettes inside assaulted his senses.

Mr. Shu couldn't help but cough twice, then angrily asked, "What have you been doing these past few days? You haven't been to the company, you haven't met with business partners, what exactly do you want?"

Shu Youli's eyes were indifferent, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I don't want to do anything."

As he spoke, he returned to the living room listlessly, picked up a beer that had been open for who knows how long, and continued drinking.

Shu's father, frustrated by his son's lack of progress, took a step forward and tried to persuade Shu Youli.

I had just stepped inside when I saw the living room littered with empty bottles and cigarette butts, so I pulled my foot back.

"You're a cowardly and incompetent piece of trash. You give up so easily. I don't think you'll amount to anything!"

Shu Youli forced a stiff smile; he knew that his father was referring to Nan Xu.

He was struggling internally.

As for his father's opinion, he didn't care.

Seeing that he said this, Shu Youli remained unmoved, which made him even more angry.

"Let me tell you, the companies you won't go to have people begging to work for them!"

Shu Youli knew that "some people" referred to Shu's father's illegitimate son.

But this time, he really didn't want to argue with those people anymore.

Shu Youli continued walking inside. Shu's father looked at the bottles scattered on the ground and closed his eyes in disgust. But he couldn't help but try to keep Shu Youli there; all his other sons combined couldn't compare to Shu Youli.

Otherwise, he would have divorced Shu Youli's mother long ago.

Left with no other choice, Mr. Shu revealed his trump card: "We have a collaboration with the Lu family this time. As long as you come back to the company with me and get things done, I can try to persuade Lin Jingshu to help you."

Upon hearing this, Shu Youli stopped in his tracks.

But then she thought about it again, and realized that Lin Jingshu never interfered in Nanxu's affairs.

That's as good as saying nothing at all.

"You can't interfere with her decision."

Seeing Shu Youli stop walking, Shu's father understood.

If they want to continue using Shu Youli, then Nanxu is the best excuse.

“Yes, I can’t interfere, but don’t forget, the Lin family patriarch prefers you. As long as we use a little trickery, Nanxu will be yours.” Mr. Shu said confidently.

Shu Youli was clearly tempted.

He had liked Nanxu for over ten years, and he really didn't want to give her up to someone else.

He used to despise those cunning and manipulative people. But now, he's actually starting to feel a little tempted.

“Okay, I’ll go back to work tomorrow.” Shu Youli opened the bathroom door.

A sly glint flashed in Shu's father's eyes.

He wanted to extract every last drop of value from Shu Youli within a controllable timeframe!
Nanxu got off the plane at 3 pm.

I opened my phone and saw Lu Zhiyan's message.

Nan Xu ignored Lu Zhiyan's advice and called him. She only sent a message saying, "I have landed safely."

Lu Zhiyan seemed to be busy and did not reply to the message.

After waiting for two minutes without receiving a reply from Lu Zhiyan, Nan Xu simply stuffed her phone into her handbag.

The production team sent a car to pick up Nan Xu and Sang Tingwan.

We arrived at the hotel booked by the film crew in just one hour.

Nan Xu and Sang Tingwan shared a standard room.

The hotel's environment wasn't great, but it was passable.

Sang Tingwan had no objections, but Nan Xu suffered.

Nan Xu frowned as she looked around the hotel rooms.

She had never stayed in such a bad hotel.

She wanted to book a double room again, but was told that they were no longer available.

The filming location was a school next to the hotel, but there were no other hotels nearby.

The nearest hotel to the school is 20 kilometers away.

The executive suite was also booked, and the earliest check-in time would be three days later.

Nan Xu directly booked an executive suite for the following month.

There's no other way but to make do for a few days.

Nan Xu was packing her clothes, hanging them in the closet.

Sang Tingwan doesn't have many clothes; they only take up a small portion of her wardrobe.

After tidying up, the two sat on the bed and played on their phones.

Zhang San said in the group chat that there would be a dinner party tonight, so everyone could get to know each other beforehand. The opening ceremony would be tomorrow morning.

Nan Xu looked at her clothes; she had gotten her skirt dirty while hanging them up.

"Tingwan, we're having dinner tonight, would you like to change your clothes?" Nanxu opened the wardrobe and started picking out clothes.

Sang Tingwan looked at her simple white t-shirt and jeans.

"No, Sister Nan, I don't need it. My clothes aren't dirty."

"Alright then, I'll go take a shower and change my clothes." With that, Nan Xu picked up a bathrobe and toiletries from the wardrobe and went into the bathroom.

Twenty minutes later, Nan Xu came out of the bathroom, drying her hair and covered in steam.

Sang Tingwan's eyes lit up as she looked at Nan Xu's fair, jade-like skin and long, straight legs.

He strode forward and gushed over Nan Xu's beautiful legs, "Sister Nan, your legs are so white, can I touch them?"

The reason my legs are white is because I've taken great care of them since I was a child using all sorts of expensive skincare products.

Nan Xu was shocked by Sang Tingwan's speed. How could she have crossed the distance in one step when they were two or three meters apart?

"Then I'll reluctantly allow you to touch it once," Nan Xu said with a proud smile, raising her head slightly.

Sang Tingwan didn't stand on ceremony and gently touched Nan Xu's thigh.

It has a delicate and smooth feel, and its skin is as white as snow.

She really likes it.
