BXBX NOVEL Chapter 376 - What did she look like right now? (3)
“Hey! What’s the matter? I’m your uncle after all. It was just a few bottles of wine. Must you frown like that. Do you need to be so petty?”
Lin Zhan picked up a few empty wine bottles and set them aside quietly. “I don’t care if you drink yourself to death.”
“I’m an elder of yours, you know?” He was obviously drunk.
“When are you leaving?” asked Lin Zhan as he sat down.
“Leaving? Are you kicking me out?” Lu Shaoyan looked at him in disbelief. “You are kicking me out?”
Lin Zhan tossed his passport over to him. “You were the one who asked me to buy you tickets to leave the country yesterday.”
It was apparent that Lu Shaoyan had already forgotten all about it. He rested his hand on his forehead and thought about it long and hard. “I’ve changed my mind. Let’s go visit Old Mr. Lu in a few days.” He looked over at Lin Zhan. “You come too. He is, after all, your grandfather on paper.”
Lin Zhan neither agreed or disagreed to it.
“Word has it that Ye Zhen is pregnant again. Twins, I think.” Lu Shaoyan looked at him in an instigating way. “What are you going to do, Lin Zhan? Ye Zhen is getting further and further away from you.”
Lin Zhan looked at him coldly. Standing up abruptly, he left the room without another word, bringing with him most of the unfinished wine.
Lu Shaoyan laid back down onto the ground with his hand holding onto his necktie. “There’s no good people in the Lu family. Well, perhaps Zhouzhou is the only one who has yet to turn bad.”

Just as Lu Shaoyan had said, the Shen corporation didn’t have much time left in them. Lu Corporation didn’t even need to do anything to them, and they had already gotten themselves into financial difficulties. No more banks were willing to lend to them anymore. They were not able to finish up incomplete projects or pay their employees. Every employee was affected. As much as the Shen Corporation had stated that they would not owe any money to their employees, the employees were not paid when payday had come and gone.
The house of cards was starting to crumble.
During this period of time, Shen Weiyin had attended a banquet that Lu Beichuan had also attended.
She had dressed for the center of attention at the banquet and had moved around freely among the wealthy individuals. Everybody’s attention was on her. She purposefully tried to get close to Lu Beichuan but was ignored by him.
After all the toasts, Lu Beichuan was a little buzzed and was helped into a hotel room for some rest. The moment the door was opened, Shen Weiyin was lying in his bed, naked.
She figured this was her last chance.
Lu Beichuan was her last chance to save Shen Corporation.
If she could become Lu Beichuan’s woman, even if it had to remain in the dark, that would still be fine with her.
Lu Beichuan was drunk, but his head was still clear. The perfume that did not belong to Ye Zhen helped to clear him up more quickly. Leaning against the wall, he looked at the woman in bed through his drunken eyes. “Shen Weiyin?”
Shen Weiyin gritted her teeth. She flipped the blanket over so her curvy body could be seen.
No man could possibly resist that.
She reached out to hug Lu Beichuan. Her remaining shred of pride made her feel shameful of herself, and tears rolled down her face. “Beichuan, I don’t have any other options. Really, I don’t. I love you. I love you a lot.”
Lu Beichuan pushed her away as he rubbed between his brows. He looked over at her. His body was burning up from the alcohol yet he was still not interested in her at all.
“Do you not like me? My body, my face, my entire person. Everybody outside wants me. Each and every single one of them. Don’t you want me too?”
Lu Beichuan couldn’t even bother to look at her. He walked steadily toward the room door.
Shen Weiyin hugged him from behind him. “Don’t worry. If only you want to, nobody will know about it. Not even Ye Zhen.”
Lu Beichuan didn’t care that she was naked. He opened up the room door, pulled her arms off, and shoved her onto the floor. “Shen Weiyin, just look into the mirror yourself. See what you look like right now.”
For the sake of her, he at least closed the door behind him.
Shen Weiyin, who was trying to get up from the floor, was stunned by Lu Beichuan’s words.
The mirror on the bathroom door reflected her image clearly.
What did she look like right now?
She looked like a woman offering herself up for money.
Shen Weiyin covered her face with her hands and sobbed.
