Chapter 584: Chapter 8: Cinderella and the CEO (Part 8)

Li Shuning softly said, “Be careful.”

Lin Xiaorou turned her head and saw Li Shuning.

It was Li Shuning who held her, preventing her from falling.

But at this moment, Lin Xiaorou felt even more resentful.

She didn’t expect to hit someone, but she was still worried Zhu Lun would criticize her.

After all, she knew the people at the party were of high status.

If they held her accountable, what could she do?

So Lin Xiaorou instinctively made the same choice; as long as she fell into the fountain, this matter wouldn’t be her fault.

Although she accidentally hit someone with the cake, she had already apologized, yet was still pushed and fell into the fountain.

What she didn’t expect was that her plan was ruined, and the person who ruined it was the woman she disliked the most.

The incident outside quickly spread inside.

Zhu Lun naturally noticed the commotion outside, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

When he walked out, he saw Li Shuning holding Lin Xiaorou.

Zhu Lun’s heart sank, and he rushed over immediately.

“Li Shuning, what are you doing? What do you want to do to Xiaorou?”

Zhu Lun’s indiscriminate behavior made those aware of the situation look down on him even more.

Zhou Ying sneered, “Mr. Zhu sure has quite the swagger. If it weren’t for Shuning today, your little lover would’ve caused harm to many people due to her inability to walk properly. Your cousin was hit squarely in the face with a cake by your lover, and she almost fell into the fountain herself.”

“Fortunately, Shuning held her back, or else if something happened, it wouldn’t be just a birthday celebration for my grandfather.”

Zhu Lun was stunned for a moment, then the girl with the cake-smeared face screamed, “Cousin, look what your woman did, sob, my face.”

The girl that was hit was Zhu Lun’s cousin, his mother’s niece.

Zhou Ying took her away, looking so embarrassed with so many people watching. If she didn’t handle it, later people would say the Zhou Family was not timely enough in handling emergencies.

Li Shuning walked away too, too lazy to say a word.

Because of this incident, Mr. Zhou was also alerted.

Li Shuning naturally had to go up and apologize.

After all, today’s incident was indeed related to her.

The celebratory atmosphere of the birthday feast was ruined, it was ultimately her fault.

Of course, others didn’t know it was related to her.

Mr. Zhou smiled and patted Li Shuning’s hand, “Good child.”

In Mr. Zhou’s view, it’s really hard to understand.

The Li Family’s girl is so considerate, gentle, and capable, so why is the Zhu Family’s boy acting like he’s blinded?

For the sake of a woman like that, he’s humiliating Li Shuning time and again?

The Zhu Family really seems to be getting worse with each generation.

After understanding the whole story, Zhu Lun was also a bit annoyed.

He had previously told Lin Xiaorou not to run around.

Now look, if she really fell into the fountain pool, then he’d never bring her to attend these kinds of events again.

Last time she ruined He Yun’s coming-of-age ceremony atmosphere, now it’s the birthday feast atmosphere again.

Damn it.

After returning, Zhu Lun scolded Lin Xiaorou again, and then left directly.

He decided to give Lin Xiaorou the cold shoulder for a while; judging by her expression just now, she was clearly not convinced.

What kind of occasion is that? He had previously arranged for someone to teach her etiquette and such, the true demeanor of a lady, how could she smear cake on people’s faces while walking?

He’s already overwhelmed with work; if she can’t help, fine, but she’s always causing trouble.

After that, Zhu Lun stopped visiting Lin Xiaorou.

Lin Xiaorou was dumbfounded all of a sudden.

Because of this matter, she even forgot about her physical condition; her period hadn’t come.

During this period, Lin Xiaorou was quite well-behaved.

However, some habits are impossible to change back suddenly.

Used to being flattered by others, now being alone at home, she couldn’t do it either.

She arranged to go out with friends.

Some people heard about Lin Xiaorou’s reputation, knowing she liked to have fun.

Many people, of course, knew Lin Xiaorou was Zhu Lun’s girlfriend.

But some didn’t know.

Just knowing that many people flattered Lin Xiaorou and complimented her.

Thus they assumed Lin Xiaorou must have a strong background.

One day, Lin Xiaorou went out alone shopping and encountered a man while eating.

The man was somewhat feminine but was undeniably handsome and knew how to talk.

That day, they exchanged contact information.

After that, the two became closer and closer.

Meanwhile, Zhu Lun was busy with the consortium’s affairs, thinking about Lin Xiaorou but unable to find time.

It had been almost a month since he last saw Lin Xiaorou.

During this month, Lin Xiaorou’s relationship with that man developed quickly.

Once, they even entered the house Zhu Lun bought for Lin Xiaorou.

That day was Lin Xiaorou’s birthday, yet Zhu Lun neither sent gifts nor even called, leaving Lin Xiaorou furious.

Fortunately, Zhong Jian came by and brought her a gift, improving her mood a lot.

Zhong Jian was that man.

He even cooked steak personally, and the two had a romantic candlelit dinner.

Having had some wine, Lin Xiaorou felt somewhat tipsy.

Naturally, the two embraced each other.

While they were embracing, Zhu Lun finished his work, sighed in relief, and only then realized it was Lin Xiaorou’s birthday today. He was just about to call but thought a surprise would be better, buying a gift to make it up to her.

He had just stood up when he noticed a file bag next to his desk. It seemed to have been brought in earlier, but he had been busy and forgot to look.

The file bag was somewhat large, so Zhu Lun decided to open it.

Inside, a large number of photos spilled out.

Naturally, they were all photos of Lin Xiaorou.

But the person she was photographed with was different.

Many men had contact with Lin Xiaorou.

But there were the most photos of Lin Xiaorou and Zhong Jian together.

As a man, discovering such betrayal made him extremely angry.

Zhu Lun grabbed his car keys and drove directly to Lin Xiaorou, intending to ask her why she did that. Wasn’t he good enough to her?

But after opening the door, Zhu Lun realized something was wrong.

The floor was covered in scattered clothes, including women’s underwear and men’s clothes.

Zhu Lun’s veins popped out, clearly his emotions were not calm.

He walked to the bedroom door, hearing familiar sounds.

Those sounds during moments of pleasure used to make his blood boil, but now they felt like icy water, chilling him to the bone.

The battle in the bedroom was very intense.

Just as Zhu Lun was about to enter, Lin Xiaorou suddenly cried out in pain, and the sound was obviously wrong.

Zhong Jian was also startled.

Afterward, both of them, along with Zhu Lun standing at the door, saw the large amount of blood that had stained the white bedsheets.
