Do You Still Hate Her? 04 – Shang Lu is the daughter-in-law recognized by our Jiang family.
After seeing his artist get into the car, Meng Zhichuan drove while informing her about the current situation. He followed up with consecutive questions, “The internet is going crazy right now. Do you really have an engagement with Jiang Yi? And is that rose manor related to you?”
“The rose manor is mine. Since we have a good relationship, if you want to buy a burial plot, I can give you a big discount.” Shang Lu answered the second question first, then looked at Meng Zhichuan and said, “I remember telling you about the engagement with Jiang Yi.”
Meng Zhichuan : “…”
Meng Zhichuan didn’t dare to speak, but even without saying a word, Shang Lu understood. She said, “So, even you don’t believe it.”
Meng Zhichuan observed the expression of his own artist through the rearview mirror, but he still chose to tell the truth, “Based on your previous attitude towards President Jiang… oh no, Jiang Yi, and his attitude towards you, it’s hard for anyone to believe, right?”
“That’s true,” Shang Lu nodded, feeling that it made sense.
Meng Zhichuan finally recovered from the shocking revelation that his own artist turned out to be a rich young lady, and he remembered the question Shang Lu had answered earlier. He asked, “Since that rose manor belongs to you, what’s the deal with the key sent by Ning Lin’s studio?”
“She has a manor key?” Shang Lu didn’t know about this and immediately opened Weibo. After seeing the post from Ning Lin’s studio, her expression turned cold.
However, Shang Lu didn’t know why Ning Lin would have the key to her manor’s resting lounge. So she quickly called Elvis and soon found out the reason.
It turned out that before Shang Mu gave her the manor, he had asked Jiang Yi to help manage it for a while, and the key was given at that time. However, Jiang Yi never returned it afterwards.
Due to Jiang Yi’s relationship with Shang Lu, Elvis naturally didn’t ask Jiang Yi to return the key, assuming that Jiang Yi would be the future master of the manor. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yi had given the key to Ning Lin.
Grass (a plant).1
She can endure them using her feelings.
However, taking advantage of her wealth? That is absolutely intolerable.
There were even more complex emotions intersecting and surging in her heart, as if everything had condensed into a rope. The long-standing grievances, unwillingness, and anger all needed a vent.
Shang Lu suddenly looked at Meng Zhichuan and said, “Brother Meng, I used to think that as a public figure, it’s normal to be scrutinized, judged, and even misunderstood and insulted. Everyone has gone through this. So, I shouldn’t take every word to heart. It’s better to let go of unnecessary things. If things get too ugly, I would also feel embarrassed. It’s better to let it go. To be straightforward, I don’t want to tear apart that layer of fig leaf. As long as I don’t admit that I care or that I’m afraid, I won’t be a weak existence and I’ll never be hurt.
“However, when the anti-fans attacked me today and a fruit knife was found on his person, I suddenly changed my mind. Whoever wants to endure, let them endure. Whoever wants this face can have it. I’m not the one who did something wrong. Why should I be the only one who suffers?”
Shang Lu used to think that the rumors on the internet were just misunderstandings of her and didn’t have any substantial impact.
Many things would be easier if she didn’t care about them, and she could appear more carefree.
However, at the moment when her life might be threatened, she suddenly saw clearly the heart that had lied to herself and even lied to protect her dignity.
It’s normal for a person to feel sad when they want to be liked and feel upset when they are mistreated. These are not things that are difficult to talk about.
Words of bravado or self-comfort are not signs of strength.
To admit that she wants to be loved, to accept that even if no one is willing to love her, she will love herself. That is true growth.
Although Meng Zhichuan didn’t understand why Shang Lu suddenly said these things, he still comforted her, saying, “There won’t be a next time. I have already applied to the company to assign a bodyguard for you. As for those online haters, although we can’t handle all of them, we have been collecting evidence recently. When the time comes, we will punish a few to teach them a lesson.”
After saying these words, Meng Zhichuan realized that they weren’t as simple as they seemed, knowing Shang Lu as he did. She didn’t say them to accuse or demand anything; she wanted to tell him something.
He immediately sensed that there was a problem and asked, “What do you want to do?”
Shang Lu smiled at him, looking innocent, and said, “I’m not in a good mood, so I want to vent.”
Meng Zhichuan: “???”
What nonsense was his artist talking about?
Meng Zhichuan quickly advised, “Shang Lu, calm down. Your reputation has improved now. If there’s something bothering you, tell me. Don’t act impulsively!”
“No.” Shang Lu decisively refused Meng Zhichuan and then lowered her eyelashes, tapping her fingers on the screen.
Meng Zhichuan felt like he was losing control of his breathing. He quickly parked the car on the side of the road and turned back, saying, “Shang Lu! Ancestors! Stop for a moment! Stop!”
What does Shang Lu mean by venting? Could it be that she’s going to have a heated argument with netizens on Weibo later? His heart is fragile and can’t withstand such stimulation!
“It’s too late.” Shang Lu raised her head innocently, looked at Meng Zhichuan, and then shook her phone, saying, “I’ve already finished venting.”
Meng Zhichuan quickly took the phone from his artist and looked at the screen. It showed her own Weibo interface.
She didn’t scold the netizens, but instead reposted a Weibo post. That’s good…
What the hell?
Why did Shang Lu repost a Weibo post from Ning Lin’s studio? They don’t have any interactive relationship, do they?
Meng Zhichuan quickly went to see what Shang Lu had posted, and the moment his gaze fell on the screen, his eyes widened.
@Shang_Lu(V) : [It’s one thing to take photos in my mansion, but @Jiang_Yi(V), who gave you permission to give my things as gifts? This isn’t how you borrow a flower to offer Buddha, right? Return the keys to me quickly, or I’ll build a double grave for you two lovers overnight and bury you together. // Repost Weibo @Ning_Lin_Studio(V) : Hope everyone finds a rose-like love….]
In comparison to Ning Lin Studio’s “rose-like love,” Shang Lu’s Weibo post was particularly ironic, even somewhat laughable.
The netizens were originally discussing the fact that Jiang Yi unexpectedly came to pick up Shang Lu, debating who was unnecessary in this love triangle. But then they saw Shang Lu’s Weibo post, and they didn’t expect that right after Shang Lu came out of the variety show, she would directly confront Ning Lin and Jiang Yi.
The gossipmongers were going crazy, but at the same time, they were getting more and more excited with each twist.
[What the hell, is the rose manor really Shang Lu’s?]
[Why did Jiang Yi give Shang Lu’s Rose Manor to Ning Lin? What the hell is going on? Hahaha! What is this idea of giving your fiancée’s things to your girlfriend?]
[Help, I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed when I thought of the scene where Ning Lin showed off the rose manor in front of Shang Lu.]
[Sisters, please don’t empathize with Ning Lin. Put yourself in Shang Lu’s shoes and see, isn’t Ning Lin just a ridiculous clown?]
Of course, there are also people who don’t believe Shang Lu’s words.
[People with rose allergies own a rose manor? Isn’t that too ridiculous?]
[If you say it’s yours, then I can also say it’s mine.]
But soon, they were proven wrong.
An account left a comment under Shang Lu’s Weibo post.
@Saintly_Rose_Cemetery(V) : [At the end of life’s journey, everything is but fleeting clouds. Amidst suffering, one can choose to embrace romance. The nation’s first combination of roses and burial grounds, a dual enjoyment of romance and luxury. Compared to mansions and luxury cars, a luxurious burial plot can also serve as a new symbol of prestige. For appointments, please DM or call XXX.]
And when this account’s profile was clicked, there was only one Weibo post with a single image—
The property certificate of the rose Mmnor, with Shang Lu’s name written as the owner.
Netizens : “!!!”
[Wow, this is such an exciting series of gossips! I can’t believe that this mansion actually belongs to Shang Lu. A thousand words are condensed into one sentence, leaving my whole family astonished.]
[I want to go back and watch Shang Lu’s reaction when Ning Lin was showing off the rose manor ten times. Hahaha!]
[I don’t know what else to say except envy and admiration! Rich sister, please be friends with me!]
[Hey Shang Lu… No, hey, wife! Look at me! Let me do it!!!]
[@ All LinJiang CP fans, do you have anything else to say? Your words were quite strong before, so keep going!]
[Hahaha, they are probably crying and doubting their lives with their heads in their hands right now.]
With all the evidence and testimonies (?), everything proves that Shang Lu is the owner of the manor. At this moment, the LinJiang CP fans have finally been defeated and are running around like headless flies. Both the trending topics and fan groups are in chaos because they can’t find any room for justification.
And now, Zhai Yue Liang is enjoying the spectacle and has followed and shared Shang Lu’s Weibo post.
@Zhai_Yue_Liang(V) : [Wow—oh—
Who’s feeling great? I am!]
