After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 256

Chapter 256: Chapter 256: Are You Afraid I’ll Poison the Wine?

Perhaps it was because she had regained her memories, even with Lu Sheng by her side, Juanjuan’s sleep was rather restless.

The next morning, Lu Sheng woke up before Juanjuan. After freshening up and seeing that it was about time, she sent several messages to Chen Shu.

[Are you awake?]

[There’s something about Juanjuan that I want to discuss with you.]

[Do you have time today, would it be convenient to meet?]

Lu Sheng was thinking of meeting with Chen Shu at noon or in the afternoon to get a clear understanding of his intentions and to talk about Juanjuan.

Chen Shu responded quickly but said he had other commitments during the day.

Then he mentioned that he had air-shipped some top-grade sashimi ingredients over and invited Lu Sheng to have dinner at the hotel in the evening. If Juanjuan was willing, she could bring her along.

—The hotel room?

Lu Sheng frowned the moment she saw the message.

Let alone the fact that she now knew Chen Shu might be crazed and perverted, and harbored ill intentions against her.

Even if she was unaware of Chen Shu’s true nature, it was unthinkable for her to go to a hotel in the evening to meet a man alone.

It was even more impossible to bring Juanjuan along.

Chen Shu had previously done something like chaining up Juanjuan; Lu Sheng had no idea if Chen Shu truly wanted to take her sister home or if he intended to bring Juanjuan back for more torment.

[Juanjuan still needs time to adjust, I’ll meet you alone.]

[But I have a boyfriend, it’s not convenient to meet in a hotel. How about we find a Japanese restaurant for dinner instead? You can bring the sashimi ingredients you air-shipped.]

In a hotel room, Chen Shu’s eyebrows moved slightly upon seeing Lu Sheng’s reply.

The girl now indeed saw him as an enemy, not a friend.

Despite being polite as usual and not showing it, her words carried a sense of caution.

Discreetly refusing to bring Christine along, she emphasized that she had a boyfriend and shifted the meeting place from a private hotel room to a public restaurant bustling with people.

Chen Shu’s expression did not change as he tapped out a message with his slender fingers on his phone’s screen.

[Sure, I’ve heard there’s a famous Japanese restaurant in Jiang City that I’ve been wanting to try.]

[Since you paid for dinner yesterday, let me take care of it today^_^]

Chen Shu agreed readily, showing no indication that he had any sinister plans.

Lu Sheng thought for a moment and replied with a simple [Okay].

Juanjuan had come last night in the rain.

Although upon arrival, Lu Sheng had her immediately take a hot shower, change clothes, and drink ginger soup, Juanjuan still developed a slight fever in the morning.

Lu Sheng took care of Juanjuan throughout the day, and as late afternoon approached, Chen Shu sent the restaurant’s address.

So, Lu Sheng headed out to hail a cab, then on the cab ride, she sent the address to Li Muchen, who was on a business trip in Beijing.

Li Muchen was not well informed about Juanjuan’s situation, so Lu Sheng did not elaborate on it. She simply told him that there was a result regarding the perfume incident.

It was Gu Siyu who had the cleaner put the perfume on his shirt, and the person who instructed her to do so was Chen Shu.

Naturally, Li Muchen did not know Chen Shu’s objective, but upon hearing that Lu Sheng was meeting with Chen Shu today to clarify things, he couldn’t help but worry.

Initially, he thought of sending several bodyguards to protect Lu Sheng’s safety, but remembering the girl’s performance and record in the underground boxing ring, he figured that four or five bodyguards might not be a match for her alone, so he let the idea go.
