Chapter 555: Chapter 555: We’ve Been Played by Lu Youxi

"It was never a case of mistaken identity," Lin Jingshen said. "It’s the same person. Lu Youxi’s husband is Chengzhou’s Zhou Shuyan!"

Lin Jingshen’s face was filled with pain and regret. "That’s why Zhou Shuyan was so angry when those rumors were spreading before."

"According to Lu Youxi, Zhou Shuyan wasn’t angry about the rumors, but because we were spreading his private matters," Lin Jingshen now couldn’t tell the real reason why Zhou Shuyan was angry.

Anyway, that’s what Lu Youxi said, and he relayed it as such.

"So we thought we had caught Lu Youxi red-handed that time we were ’hitting the ground’, went to Zhou Shuyan to try to make amends, but Zhou Shuyan was completely unmoved. Because the two of them were indeed a married couple, Lu Youxi hadn’t lied, nor had she intentionally name-dropped."

"It turned out we were the ones played by Lu Youxi!" Lin Jingshen said. "Clearly, her husband was Zhou Shuyan, yet she deliberately didn’t mention it and even specifically clarified at our school’s anniversary celebration that she had nothing to do with Zhou Shuyan when fellow students were speculating about their relationship."

"It was because Lu Youxi so vigorously clarified that I believed her, thinking her husband merely shared the same name as Zhou Shuyan."

"Lu Youxi deliberately set a trap, misleading us into jumping in, intentionally framing us!"

Even now, Lin Jingshen was still placing all the blame on Lu Youxi.

He didn’t feel the slightest bit that if he hadn’t had malicious intentions, if he hadn’t provoked them, he wouldn’t have offended Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan at all.

Many people at Jing University didn’t know about Lu Youxi’s marriage; there were hardly any classmates who knew.

Why didn’t others fall into the trap, why didn’t they offend Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan?

It was clearly Lin Jingshen who had been up to no good in the first place.

Lin Jingshen rambled on, completely unaware that there had been no response from Lin Zhenghao on the other end of the phone.

After he had finished talking, there was a delay, still no reply from Lin Zhenghao.

That’s when Lin Jingshen asked, puzzled, "Dad, are you listening?"

A little while later, he finally heard Lin Zhenghao’s voice.

During the silence, Lin Zhenghao’s mind went through the same fluctuations as Lin Jingshen’s.

All of Zhou Shuyan’s previous attitudes toward the Lin’s immediately made sense.

"So how did you find out about this?" Lin Zhenghao asked. "Did Lu Youxi tell you?"

Lin Jingshen moved his lips, then said with difficulty, "I came to school today and shared my thoughts with Lu Youxi."

Lin Jingshen, even now, was still saving face and didn’t mention how he had doggedly persisted and had been mocked and refused by Lu Youxi.

"I didn’t expect Lu Youxi to call Zhou Shuyan to the school. That’s when I found out her husband was actually Zhou Shuyan," Lin Jingshen said. "They are now at the school cafeteria, and I’m on my way there."

"I plan to apologize to Zhou Shuyan and quickly clear up the misunderstanding," Lin Jingshen took the opportunity to shift the blame to Lu Youxi, "Just afraid that Lu Youxi might exaggerate things to him, leading Zhou Shuyan not to believe my explanation."

He had to let Lin Zhenghao know, it wasn’t his fault.

If Zhou Shuyan refused to forgive him, and it consequently affected the Lin Family, Lin Zhenghao better not blame him.

Blame Lu Youxi for not wanting to see their family do well, and for speaking ill of the Lin Family in front of Zhou Shuyan.

"You hurry and apologize, try to keep Zhou Shuyan there, I’ll be right over," Lin Zhenghao realized the gravity of the situation too; he couldn’t just let Lin Jingshen apologize.

He had to go in person to show sincerity.

When it came to the Lin’s reputation, Lin Zhenghao couldn’t afford to consider saving face.

"Okay," Lin Jingshen agreed.

Lin Zhenghao hurriedly left his company and headed for Jing University.

Lin Jingshen also quickly made his way to the cafeteria.

When Lin Jingshen arrived at the cafeteria, even the entrance was packed with people.

Students found that Zhou Shuyan didn’t mind people watching, so they became even bolder, calling friends to join in.

The cafeteria was packed, inside and out.

Lin Jingshen couldn’t care less at that point, straining to push his way through the crowd while saying, "Excuse me, excuse me!"

Originally, no one wanted to make way.

"You’re late and still want to push in?"

"Interrupting our gossip session?"

No way.

But when everyone saw that it was Lin Jingshen, they stepped aside.

Letting Lin Jingshen in would mean even more gossip to watch.

The students considerately made just enough room for Lin Jingshen to pass through.

After letting Lin Jingshen through, they quickly went back to their places, afraid that other students would take their spots.

Lin Jingshen finally managed to squeeze into the cafeteria through the layers of people.

Inside the cafeteria, it was so full that even the aisles were crowded with people.

For a moment, Lin Jingshen couldn’t even spot where Zhou Shuyan and Lu Youxi were seated.

However, since everyone was looking in the same direction, it was clear that Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan were seated where the crowd’s gaze was fixed.

So Lin Jingshen started to make his way through again.

All the while, he was careful not to misjudge the direction the crowd was looking.

Eventually, he spotted exactly where Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan were and quickly squeezed toward them.

Everyone was still nervous around Zhou Shuyan.

So, despite the crowd everywhere else, the area around the table where Zhou Shuyan and Lu Youxi sat was relatively spacious.

Lin Jingshen finally emerged from the crowd, his shirt crumpled and one end hanging out of his belt.

He awkwardly adjusted his shirt, tucking the hem back into his belt.

But the wrinkles in his shirt remained.

"President Zhou," Lin Jingshen said nervously.

The walk from the school entrance to the cafeteria actually took some time,

so by this time Zhou Shuyan had almost finished his meal.

Seeing Lin Jingshen, he lost his appetite.

Zhou Shuyan put down his chopsticks and took a sip of water.

After setting down the cup, he then looked at Lin Jingshen.

Lin Jingshen hurriedly said, "President Zhou, it’s really a misunderstanding."

"Firstly, I didn’t know you were Lu Youxi’s..." Lin Jingshen suddenly felt that calling Lu Youxi by her name seemed impolite, so he said, "I didn’t know you were President Lu’s husband."

"Also, I genuinely have no inappropriate thoughts towards President Lu." Lin Jingshen tried his best to come across as sincere, fearing Zhou Shuyan wouldn’t believe him.

"I just wanted to make up for some wrong things I did to President Lu in the past," Lin Jingshen explained, "but I’m not very good at expressing myself, and it caused further misunderstandings, leading President Lu to misinterpret my intentions."

"President Zhou, here I sincerely apologize to you and President Lu," Lin Jingshen took the initiative without waiting for Zhou Shuyan to speak, "I promise that I will not bother President Lu in the future. Even upon seeing her, I will immediately avoid her, never letting President Lu see me and affect her mood."
