Revenge Sevenfold

Nian Zhen knew about this, which was why she had chosen to mention Fang He. He was the only person that could possibly make Lu Shen take a step back. She could not bear to see that actress hanging around him, mooching off his wealth and status. It didn\'t escape her eyes that the dress she was wearing came from him.

Can an actress even afford a designer dress that even her, Nian Zhen, would have some trouble to acquire?

But Nian Zhen greatly overestimated Fang He\'s importance. It was true that he was an important business partner, but so what?

Would he dare antagonize the Lu Corporation just because Lu Shen didn\'t want to greet him?

Even if Lu Shen had insulted him directly to his face, Fang He could only hide his resentment and smile obsequiously. It was the power that came hand in hand with wealth and influence—in regard to these two, Lu Shen had already pulled ahead of his competitors in all of China.

"Move." Lu Shen lowered his head, raking her with freezing contempt.

Nian Zhen shrank back. "B—Brother Shen?"

But Lu Shen had already walked past her.

He caught sight of his empty wineglass, and his hand flagged down a waiter who had been waiting on standby ever since he saw that half of his tray had been emptied by this very same man.

The waiter was a bit nervous that this drunkard might finish all the vintage red wine that his employer, Wang Xiong, had tightly guarded in their cellar. But to the waiter\'s surprise, Wang Xiong himself came over earlier and assured him that he should cater to all of the man\'s needs. If their wine cellar was emptied because of it, then by all means, let it be!

This might give Lu Shen a favorable impression of them, and that itself was priceless beyond compare!

After Lu Shen saw Hui Yin being led by Wang Yong around the party, his mood took a turn for the worse. He picked up his pace, intending to separate them.

But he stopped when he saw that Hui Yin had detached from Wang Yong out of her own volition. In fact, she seemed to be going straight for Nian Zhen, whom he had left behind him.

...

Hui Yin, contrary to Lu Shen\'s misgivings, was not actually paying much attention to Wang Yong.

She had her own purpose for approaching him, and when there was a sudden lapse in the introduction of his friends, she said, "Mr. Wang, you like Miss Nian very much, don\'t you?"

Wang Yong flushed a deep shade of red.

He didn\'t expect that Hui Yin, who had just met him, would be able to discern his feelings so easily.

"How...how did you know?"

She winked at him. "It\'s easy to look for the signs. Don\'t underestimate a girl\'s instinct."

Wang Yong felt even more embarrassed. He hadn\'t managed to confess to the object of his affections yet, but an outsider already knew about it. Was he even a man?

"Don\'t worry, I won\'t tell her. Miss Nian and I are pretty close, do you want me to help you?"

He was surprised, but after recalling that Nian Zhen had called the girl in front of \'Yinyin\', an endearing nickname only used by close friends, he felt that it was only natural.

"Could you help me? Really?"

Hui Yin nodded confidently. "Of course."

She spotted Nian Zhen loitering by the buffet table with one of her friends, a nasty and spoiled girl named Dandan.

Hui Yin pointed her out to Wang Yong.

"Do you want me to do it now?"

As though she felt Hui Yin\'s stare, Nian Zhen turned around and saw her. Her arm rose up and waved, clearly indicating for Hui Yin to come over.

"See? Miss Nian even wants me to join them. It\'s the perfect chance for me to tell her of your good points."

Hui Yin gave him a bright smile.

Wang Yong swallowed nervously. "W—Will it work?"

"Of course. Mr. Wang, please watch me closely."
