I Fell In Love With Qing Leng Xue Shen Chapter 89

Chapter 89 Not being liked is the original sin

As soon as Gu Yue walked out of the office door and stood firm at the corner, there was a soft sound of another office door being pushed open behind her.

Gu Yue’s back suddenly stiffened.

She turned her head subconsciously and looked into a pair of bottomless eyes.

Lu Jin was slowly adjusting his cuffs, his tall and tall figure outlined in a black casual suit.

The eye-catching silver hair shimmered under the light of the ceiling lamp in the corridor, making his brows and eyes even more prominent.

He had obviously just come out of Xie Shuhan’s office. The aura around him was cold and compelling, as if he was born to stand at the top of the pyramid.

Seeing Gu Yue, Lu Jin paused in his steps, but his eyes didn’t stir up the slightest disturbance, as if he just saw an insignificant stranger.

He didn’t even plan to stop, he just glanced at her briefly, then raised his feet and prepared to walk past her.

“Sir!”

Gu Yue almost blurted out, with a subtle tremor in his voice, but it revealed a bit of desperate stubbornness.

Lu Jin’s footsteps stopped.

He turned sideways, his eyebrows slightly raised, and his deep eyes fell on Gu Yue, with a bit of playfulness and a bit of undisguised alienation: “Is something wrong?”

His tone was very calm, as if he was asking about today’s weather, but the pressure in his eyes made Gu Yue subconsciously clenched her hands, and her knuckles turned white.

She took a deep breath, pushed back the moisture in her eyes, straightened her back, met Lu Jin’s gaze, and said word by word: “Sir, let’s talk.”

Hearing this, Lu Jin seemed to have heard some funny joke and sneered lowly.

He didn’t speak, but his eyes narrowed slightly, and his sharp gaze fell on Gu Yue’s face, as if he could see through the delusions in her heart that she couldn’t hide.

Gu Yue’s whole body tensed up at his sight, but she still had the courage to repeat: “I want to talk to you about Lawyer Xie.”

As soon as the words “Lawyer Xie” came out, the smile in Lu Jin’s eyes instantly faded.

Of course he knew what Gu Yue wanted to talk about.

It was just because of her youth and beauty that she felt that the relationship between him and Xie Shuhan was just a passing moment, and that she was the one who was worthy of Xie Shuhan.

However, it was different when Xie Shuhan was involved.

Lu Jin’s fingertips carelessly rubbed the buttons of his cuffs. He was silent for a few seconds, then opened his thin lips and uttered two words: “Okay.”

His tone was casual, yet undeniably strong.

Gu Yue didn’t expect that he would agree so simply. She was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned sideways and pointed to her small office not far away: “Go to my place to talk.”

Lu Jin didn’t say anything, just raised his feet and followed him.

The two sat across a desk from each other.

Gu Yue raised his eyes to look at Lu Jin, took a deep breath, and got straight to the point, with a bit of self-righteous sincerity in his tone: “Sir, I think you should know that Lawyer Xie is the golden signature of Jingyi Law Firm. People like him should find a partner who can stand side by side with him. The most important thing is…”

She paused, as if she mustered up a lot of courage, and then continued: “He is a man, and you are also a man. If your relationship is spread, it will always be unpleasant. It will not be good for his reputation or the reputation of the law firm.”

She spoke righteously, as if she was really thinking about Xie Shuhan, and there was even a bit of compassion in her eyes, as if she was sympathizing with a person who had gone astray.

After Lu Jin listened, he didn’t rush to speak. He just leaned back on the chair slowly and folded his hands on his knees.

Those deep eyes fell on Gu Yue’s face, and he raised his eyebrows slightly, with a bit of casual teasing in his tone: “Oh? I would like to ask, what do you mean by ‘standing side by side’?”

Gu Yue seemed to have expected that he would ask this question, and immediately straightened her back and said clearly: “Of course, education, work, appearance, family background, these are the criteria for measuring whether a person is a good match.

Lawyer Xie graduated from a top university and is the youngest partner of Jingyi Law Firm. His appearance is impeccable, his family background is clean, he is capable, and someone who is worthy of him should at least be…”

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Lu Jin’s soft voice.

“First,” Lu Jin raised a finger and said in a calm tone, but with a confidence that could not be ignored, “I graduated from Tsingta University, the same school as Xie Shuhan.”

Gu Yue’s expression changed slightly.

“Second,” Lu Jin raised another finger with a sarcastic arc on his lips, “I am the president of the Lu Group. In terms of market value, I can buy ten Jingyi Law Firms. In terms of work, I think I am qualified to stand beside Xie Shuhan.”

Lu Group!

Gu Yue’s pupils suddenly shrank. How could she not know about the Lu Group?

That is a giant that is entrenched at the top of the domestic business community, and it is a existence that countless people are trying to catch up with.

She never dreamed that the man in front of her who seemed to have a strong aura was actually the helmsman of the Lu Group!

“Third,” Lu Jin ignored her shock and continued to raise a third finger, tapping his cheek lightly with his fingertips, his tone was a bit unabashedly confident, “Appearance is a matter of opinion, but I think I am very handsome, no worse than any man, except Hanhan.”

His facial features are deep and three-dimensional, and his eyebrows are raised. When he smiles, he is a bit ruffian, and when he is not smiling, he is a bit cold. He is indeed impeccably handsome.

“Fourth,” Lu Jin raised his last finger, and the smile in his eyes completely disappeared, “I am the only son of the Lu family, and the Lu family’s wealth is enough to allow Xie Shuhan and I to live without worries for the next few lives.

These so-called standards you mentioned are just the icing on the cake for me.”

Every word he said was like a heavy hammer hitting Gu Yue’s heart.

The standard of measurement that she was so proud of turned out to be so vulnerable in front of Lu Jin.

Gu Yue’s face turned pale again, her lips pursed, and she couldn’t say a word for a long time.

But the unwillingness in her heart was growing like a weed.

She bit her lower lip, raised her head suddenly, a bit of stubbornness appeared in her eyes, and her voice rose a bit: “So what? Even if your family is prominent and you are worth hundreds of millions, you are still a man after all! Lawyer Xie is also the only son in the family. It is his responsibility to carry on the family line, isn’t it? It’s against common sense for you two men to be together!”

As soon as these words came out, the air in the office instantly froze.

The amusement on Lu Jin’s face completely disappeared.

He slowly stood up from the back of the chair, and the aura around him suddenly became cold, like a dormant beast finally showing its fangs.

The cold anger surged in those deep eyes, making Gu Yue almost breathless.

“Tsk.” Lu Jin smacked his tongue lightly, his voice low and hoarse, with a hint of danger, “Lawyer Gu, Han Han just said in front of me that you are an excellent lawyer who has represented many children’s cases and has a sense of justice. Considering that you are a girl, I didn’t want to be too harsh to you.”

He paused in his words, leaned forward slightly, and stared at Gu Yue with his sharp eyes, word by word, as if it had been tempered with ice: “What? After you have represented many children’s cases, you feel that everyone must pass on the family line? Do you think you can stand on the moral high ground and dictate other people’s feelings?”

“You clearly know the relationship between me and Xie Shuhan, but you still come up to him with a bowl of soup and show your courtesy. You say you like him, but do you think you like him? This is called interfering, and it’s called overestimating one’s abilities!”

“Also,” Lu Jin’s tone became colder and colder, with a hint of merciless ridicule, “Who do you think you are? It’s your turn to take care of Xie Shuhan and I’s affairs? Let alone you, a little lawyer, even my dad has never said a word of no!”

“Finally,” Lu Jin’s eyes fell on Gu Yue’s pale face, and the coldness in his eyes almost made him suffer from frostbite. “The only person Xie Shuhan likes from the beginning to the end is me. The way he looks at me and the tenderness he treats me are something you will never get in your life. Not being liked is your biggest original sin.”

His words were heartbreaking.

Gu Yue’s shoulders suddenly slumped down, and tears finally couldn’t hold back anymore, rolling in her eyes, but she forced them back so that they didn’t fall.

She looked at Lu Jin’s cold face, her lips were trembling, as if all her strength had been taken away, and she couldn’t say a word for a long time.

Lu Jin looked at her like this, without any pity in his eyes.

He stood up, straightened the hem of his suit, and glanced at her condescendingly. His voice was so light that there was no warmth at all: “It’s okay to like someone. You like Xie Shuhan, which proves that he is good enough. For this reason, I won’t argue with you.”

He paused, and his tone suddenly worsened, with a warning tone: “But, Lawyer Gu, knowing three things and doing three things is not what a good lawyer should do. Stay away from Xie Shuhan, don’t let me see you pestering him again.”

After saying this, Lu Jin turned around and left without looking at her again.

The office door was gently closed, making a soft “click” sound, like a knock on Gu Yue’s heart.

She sat on the chair, feeling as if all her strength had been drained from her body. Her fingertips were cold and even breathing hurt.

Lu Jin’s words echoed repeatedly in her mind.

He has a prominent family background, has a net worth of hundreds of millions, graduated from Tsinghua University, and is the president of the Lu family.

He was right, he was indeed qualified enough to stand by Xie Shuhan’s side.

What he said was right, Xie Shuhan liked him.She saw it with her own eyes. The way Xie Shuhan looked at him was so gentle that it could kill someone. It was something she had never seen before.

But…

Gu Yue’s fingers clenched the tablecloth tightly, her knuckles turned white, and there was a sense of confusion and grievance in her eyes.

Was she really wrong?

She just likes someone and wants to be close to him. She just feels that she is more suitable for Xie Shuhan than Lu Jin.

Is it wrong to like someone?

The tears finally couldn’t be held back and slid down her cheeks, hitting the tablecloth and leaving a small dark stain.

[In the end, it was decided that Ajin would deal with Gu Yue. There have been too many exams recently. Maybe these two days will be single updates. I don’t want to stop updating and keep the kids waiting, so I still take the time to update a chapter for everyone every day.

The story is probably coming to an end. If you have any opinions or plots, please share them]
