Chapter 96: Young Master Lu proposes to little Jin 'er

"Enough." Shangguan Zhi knew that He Lanjin was swift and decisive, but he did not expect her to be this straightforward.

He Lanjin handed the vial to the doctor, wiped her fingertip with a tissue, and walked out of the house.

The bodyguard ran after He Lanjin and handed her a bunch of car keys. "Young Madam, these are the keys to the car Master had us prepare for you. Pardon if it is not to your liking; Master said that he will buy you a more suitable car later."

He Lanjin initially wanted to tell the bodyguard off for calling her young Madam, but she remembered what happened the previous night and kept quiet.

He Lanjin took the car keys and walked over to the garage, where she saw the new Hummer. She was momentarily stunned by the car, but drove off as soon as she recovered.

While driving, He Lanjin received a phone call. "Ah Jin, something happened," came An Nuan's anxious voice.

"What is it?" He Lanjin asked.

"I don't know how Tang Zhilin found out about the apartment you just bought," replied An Nuan. "But she came here to cause trouble. She said that if you do not come, she would jump off the building and commit suicide."

"I'll be right there." He Lanjin's temples started to throb as she drove to the studio.

When she arrived at the scene, He Lanjin saw men from the fire department laying an air cushion on the ground. They have sealed the area off, ready for what could happen. She also saw He Wenqing, whose head was wrapped in gauze. His injury seemed serious.

He Wenqing ran up to He Lanjin and said, "Ah Jin, you're finally here! Daddy had been waiting so long."

It took He Lanjin one look at He Wenqing to know what was going on.

Last night, Qiao Hanye hung up on He Wenqing. Now, here was Tang Zhilin pretending to jump off the building just so they could force an explanation out of He Lanjin.

"Hurry up and come with Daddy," He Wenqing said as he dragged He Lanjin to the elevator. "Your mother is heartbroken because you won't talk to her, and now she wants to commit suicide. You need to stop her." They arrived on the 22nd floor. Tang Zhilin was standing very close to the edge of the building.

Down below, people gathered around, wishing to witness the show firsthand.

"Ah Jin, Mommy dotes on you, loves you, and has never mistreated you," Tang Zhilin cried. "Why are you being stubborn? Do you know that the He Corporation's investors pulled out because of your tantrums? Why are you ruining our family?"

"Maybe you think Mommy is incompetent and wasn't able to give you a better life. You're a grown-up now, and your heart has hardened. If you don't marry young Master Lu, then Mommy does not have a choice but to leave this life," Tang Zhilin said.

An Nuan went up the 22nd floor and walked over to He Lanjin. "Your mother has been saying that since she got here. She seems bent on making you marry Lu Zifan."

"I don't know how it happened," An Nuan continued. "But the He Corporation seems to have been emptied out."

Hearing this, He Lanjin remembered the events of the previous night. After she broke off the engagement with Lu Zifan, Qiao Hanye picked her up. On their way home to Jing Garden, He Wenqing called He Lanjin's phone but got to speak with Qiao Hanye instead. Qiao Hanye was obviously angry after that phone conversation.

Was Qiao Hanye responsible for this? He Lanjin's head hurt more; she did not fully know the man.

But come to think of it, people who live in places like Jing Garden and drive luxury cars have a lot of influence. It would not be difficult for Qiao Hanye to mess with the He family, which was one of the most influential families in Jiangcheng.

Not far from the building stood Lu Zifan, watching the He family. "He Lanjin, I seem to have underestimated you."

Last night's incident had caused a big scandal, delivering a severe blow to Lu Zifan.

Lu Zifan had always seen He Lanjin as a stupid fool; he could not believe that she had freed herself from him and that he could not control her.

The more confident and powerful He Lanjin appeared, the more uncomfortable Lu Zifan felt. The desire to conquer and control her was stronger now.

Lu Zifan went up the building and approached He Lanjin with a rose in his hand. "Ah Jin," Lu Zifan said in his most soothing voice. "I'll give you everything you want. I admit that I had my shortcomings in the past. I will make up to you, I promise. But you need to stop this foolishness and listen to me."

He Lanjin felt goosebumps all over her body. She looked at the rose in Lu Zifan's hand and chuckled softly, thinking of how funny he looked.

Were He Lanjin's eyes and ears deceiving her? Was the famous young Master Lu actually depressed?
