The Crippled Boss Loves Me

652 Trouble Is Here

While Shen Sisi and Zhuang Li were having their private meeting, Shen Hanxing found a quiet place and looked at the sea quietly. The gentle breeze stirred the surface of the sea and created layers of ripples. From afar, the sea and the sky were vast and broad, and it made one’s heart feel open. In the past, she had never enjoyed the scenery like this. She had always been busy, busy with her survival and the debt from her grandmother’s illness. There never seemed to be time for her to be herself or relax and enjoy the scenery. To Shen Hanxing, this kind of leisure was a rare and precious moment of peace, but someone just did not give her the chance.

Lu Nuannuan was holding a glass of red, sticky liquid in her hand. As she watched Shen Hanxing’s graceful back, a malicious glint flashed across her eyes. She deliberately walked behind Shen Hanxing and called out to her unexpectedly, “Mrs. Ji!” Immediately after, she pretended to slip and fell forward uncontrollably. The liquid in the glass in her hand splashed directly at Shen Hanxing. Lu Nuannuan even let out a fake scream, “Mrs. Ji, move out of the way. This isn’t red wine, it’s paint!”

Behind Lu Nuannuan was a reporter with a DSLR hanging around his neck. He raised the DSLR and opened the camera lid, ready to shoot the next scene. Lu Nuannuan was pleased. The Lu Family and the Su Family had invited many media outlets to promote their marriage today. Lu Nuannuan specifically found reporters with cameras and brought them there in the name of taking a few sets of photos for her. In the end, they accidentally captured a picture of Shen Hanxing’s disheveled appearance, which was covered in red paint. No one could blame them for that. After all, the red paint in Lu Nuannuan’s glass was meant for the reporters to take photos of her. She had even prepared a canvas for her painting. As for how the red paint had ended up on Shen Hanxing, who would have thought that she would coincidentally be in that corner admiring the scenery and Lu Nuannuan would coincidentally fall down and spill the paint?

The thought of the reporters taking photos of Shen Hanxing’s miserable state and posting them online to let the netizens see how drenched the so-called goddess, Shen Hanxing was, made Lu Nuannuan’s heart flutter! It was okay even if Ji Corporation tried to stop the reporters from posting the photos. She even asked the other socialites to come over and take photos with her. Now, they were all following behind the reporters and watching Shen Hanxing embarrass herself. She would like to see if Shen Hanxing would have the face to appear at other parties in the future.

Shen Hanxing did not know that Lu Nuannuan had so many ideas in her head. The moment she heard Lu Nuannuan’s voice, she reacted quickly and turned to the side. She also caught a whiff of the pungent smell of paint. Shen Hanxing’s reaction was already very fast, and she moved almost as soon as Lu Nuannuan called out to her. However, the trajectory of the paint was unpredictable and there were still a few spots of red that landed on Shen Hanxing’s dress. The light-colored fabric was stained with red paint, and it was very eye-catching and very ugly.

The reporters quickly pressed the shutter at the back. Shen Hanxing turned her back towards the camera when she realized that there was a camera there. The reporter pressed the button a few times, but in the end, he could only shake his head at Lu Nuannuan in frustration. Shen Hanxing’s movements were too fast. Other than two blurry photos of her turning around, the rest of the photos were of her slender back view. There were no ugly photos at all. A look of dissatisfaction flashed across Lu Nuannuan’s eyes, but she did not show it on her face. Instead, she stopped the reporters in shock. “Don’t take pictures. How can you take pictures at this time? I don’t need you to take pictures of me. You can go!”

“Miss Lu, didn’t you ask me to come over and take a few photos of you?” The reporter was smiling as though he was unwilling to leave just like that. He said to Lu Nuannuan, “I haven’t even started shooting yet, why are you chasing me away?”

“Can’t you see that the props and paint are all spilled? What’s the point of taking photos!” Lu Nuannuan’s expression darkened. She glared at the reporter and said angrily, “Don’t worry, even if you didn’t take the photos, I’ll give you the money. You know what you should and shouldn’t take, so hurry up and leave!”

The reporter left unwillingly.

“Nuannuan, what’s wrong? Didn’t you want to take photos? Why did you let the reporters go?” Soon after, all the socialites arrived. They were all Lu Nuannuan’s friends, and they were smiling and pretending to be surprised as they looked at Shen Hanxing’s back. “Mrs. Ji is also here? We have long heard of your great name and have long wanted to get to know you.”
