If She Says No, Then It's Not

In the dazzling banquet hall, the man was tall and slender. The dark patterns on the collar of his black suit were low-key but luxurious. His gaze was faint, and his thin lips were curled up slightly. The dazzling light landed on him, illuminating his face, and making him look especially handsome.

Jiang Jiu's heart was beating a little fast as she watched Lu Jinxing walk over and finally stop in front of her.

"What's going on?" Jiang Jiu was all too familiar with the cold voice.

The people around them did not seem to come back to their senses. All of them kept their mouths shut and did not dare to speak. On the other hand, Song Ting's eyes lit up and she hurriedly said, "Third Young Master, this woman broke my second brother's girlfriend's pearl necklace."

This woman?

Lu Jinxing looked up coldly. "Did I ask you?"

"…"

Being choked in public made Song Ting's face burn uncomfortably. However, the other party was Lu Jinxing. She was afraid and aggrieved. She lowered her head and hid beside Song Shaoshi.

"Jinxing, this matter…"

Before Gu Anning could finish, Lu Jinxing interrupted, "Since when did the Gu and Song families start to be on the same side?"

Hearing this, Gu Anning instantly fell silent and an awkward smile appeared on her exquisitely made-up face.

The waiter at the side carried a tray forward and said carefully, "Second Young Master, we've found all the pearls that fell."

Song Shaoshi's face was cold and he did not respond. Lin Yin reached out to take the tray, but she was shocked by the cold aura of the man opposite her.

"Shaoshi, all the pearls are here. The buttons on the necklace can also be repaired." Lin Yin tugged at Song Shaoshi's hand. She made it clear that she did not want to pursue the matter. However, the Second Young Master of the Song family had always been willful.

Song Shaoshi said expressionlessly, "She broke my girlfriend's necklace. It's normal for me to ask her for an apology."

Lu Jinxing chuckled and turned around to face Jiang Jiu beside him. His gaze met hers. "Did you break the necklace?"

"No." Jiang Jiu's eyes were clear. "The necklace has nothing to do with me."

As soon as she said this, she regretted it. Lu Jinxing had never believed her. Would it make things worse now? If these two scumbags made things difficult for her together, what would she do?

Jiang Jiu frowned and instinctively began to search for a way to escape. However, before she could think of a way, the man beside her said, "Did you hear that? She said no."

Lu Jinxing's voice landed beside her ear. Jiang Jiu looked up in disbelief and met his deep black eyes.

"So what if she says it's not her?" Song Shaoshi's expression turned colder.

"Heh." Lu Jinxing's eyes were frivolous. He smiled faintly and said, "To me, if she says no, then it's not her."

Everyone around took a deep breath and was dumbfounded. No way? What was going on? Didn't the Third Young Master of the Lu family not like the Third Young Mistress?

Jiang Xi covered her face and almost screamed in excitement. Damn it, it was indeed the Third Young Master of the Lu family. He was so good at comebacks!

"Come here."

Jiang Jiu came back to her senses in a daze. When Lu Jinxing reached out, she subconsciously placed her hand in his palm.

"Although the necklace has nothing to do with us, we have to show Second Young Master some respect."

At this moment, Jiang Jiu's arm was pressed against Lu Jinxing's chest. She looked up slightly and her gaze happened to land on his well-defined jaw.

Lu Jinxing's voice was low and magnetic, and the adrift in her heart became stronger and stronger. Every word he said just now was very surprising to her, even unbelievable.

He said, 'To me, if she says no, then it's not her.'

How was that possible? Why would Lu Jinxing stand up for her in front of everyone?

The onlookers whispered to each other and discussed animatedly. Everyone's gaze landed on Jiang Jiu again, and their gazes became extremely complicated. Now that Lu Jinxing had appeared, the women who were waiting to see Jiang Jiu make a fool of herself slowly became envious and jealous.

Gu Anning's expression was especially ugly. She stared at Jiang Jiu, who was beside Lu Jinxing, wishing she could burn two holes in her body. Did this woman charm Lu Jinxing with that face?

Song Ting, who was hiding beside Song Shaoshi, was also burning with anger. Jiang Jiu was really capable. She had charmed her second brother first and finally got dumped by him. In the blink of an eye, she ran to Lu Jinxing's side!

Everyone had their own thoughts. Jiang Ran was also very puzzled. Ever since she married into the Lu family, she had never been treated well. Everyone could clearly see the embarrassment caused by Lu Jinxing's return to the banquet. Why was it different today?!

After a while, Ji Chen carried a leather suitcase and walked respectfully to Lu Jinxing's side. "Third Young Master."

The man's eyes were cold. He suddenly fixed his gaze on Lin Yin and asked, "How much is the necklace?"

Lin Yin was stunned and didn't dare to answer rashly.

Song Ting, who had just choked, did not give up and immediately continued, "This necklace is an antique. Two million."

"Wow!"

Everyone exclaimed. The Second Young Master of the Song family really doted on his girlfriend. Even the charity banquet was so generous.

Jiang Jiu glanced sideways at the shiny pearls on the tray and suddenly smiled. Two million yuan, so Song Shaoshi was sure that she couldn't take out this money.

"Second Young Master has good taste." Lu Jinxing smiled faintly and pointed at the leather suitcase Ji Chen was carrying.

Ji Chen understood and immediately opened the black leather box. Under the crystal light, the stacks of red banknotes in the leather box flashed with golden light.

Lu Jinxing raised one hand, and stacks of red banknotes instantly flew up and floated around.

"Ah—"

Everyone exclaimed and screamed. Seeing the rain of money falling from the sky, everyone was amazed and forgot to move for a moment. The only person in the entire Yun City who could throw money so domineeringly was this young master of the Lu family!

Stepping on the red banknotes all over the ground, Lu Jinxing took two steps forward and stood in front of Lin Yin with a smile. "Miss Lin, is this enough to compensate for your necklace?"

"…It's enough." Lin Yin's voice was timid.

The man smiled and suddenly lowered his head to approach Lin Yin. "Control your people and don't provoke mine."

Lu Jinxing acted very quickly. When Lin Yin came back to her senses, the man had already turned around and walked away. However, she heard his warning very clearly.

"There's five million here. Consider the rest of the money my donation for tonight." Lu Jinxing's voice was powerful and resounding. Such a big move attracted enthusiastic applause.

Jiang Xi's palms heated up. Damn, who said that the Third Young Master of the Lu family was a scumbag? Third Young Master was simply too cool!
