After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 703 Don't Pay Attention to What This Person Says

"I would feel pressured to owe you a favor."

Lu Xuening thought about it for a few minutes, but still refused.

It wasn't that she didn't want to do it, but... this wouldn't benefit Sheng Hanyu at all, and it was different from helping Ye Sanqing.

Although she wanted to get rid of the Lu family as much as possible, she owed Sheng Hanyu a favor... In her eyes, this matter was only slightly better than continuing to stay in the Lu family and be manipulated by others.

Sheng Hanyu appears to be a gentleman and has his own set of principles, but he has a major problem.

He probably didn't know, and no one around him knew either, including Ye Sanqing, because they all shared the same characteristic.

That is arrogance.

None of them are people who truly care about others, especially those of lower status than themselves.

Lu Xuening's ability to survive in the Lu family until now is inseparable from her skill in analyzing others.

In other words, the Lu family may have moral flaws, but their behavior is generally predictable, and the solutions are easy to come up with.

And Sheng Hanyu and Ye Sanqing...

These two are the type who would send someone to their death without hesitation, and the person being sent to their death would even be grateful to them.

They both have this kind of "Do I need their permission to use others as my pawns?" attitude.

If she had to owe someone a favor anyway, Lu Xuening would choose to owe Ye Sanqing.

And since things had come to this point, she glanced at Xu Jingyan and said, "I actually have another idea."

"Your idea is good, but don't think about it yet."

As soon as Lu Xuening refused, Sheng Hanyu knew what she was thinking.

Indeed, it's not easy to owe him favors; since there's no personal relationship, there must be a price to pay.

This is simply the rule of the world.

Lu Xuening's expression of refusal was not very decisive, nor did she think his suggestion was absurd. After all, she had just said that she had consulted the Ning family.

So, it means she has other people she likes in mind.

She wasn't looking at him, but at Xu Jingyan, which meant that this person was related to the Ye family.

The person who is physically closest to the Ye family and has a connection to them... is Ye Siqing.

It has to be said that Sheng Hanyu had considered this possibility, which is why he didn't bring Ye Siqing over, but instead told him to stay in the ward and not move around after the examination.

There was no intention to buy oranges to take back to him; the main goal was simply to keep him out of the Lu family's sight.

"Is that so? Then I won't think about it."

Lu Xuening was rejected before she could even speak, but she wasn't angry. Instead, she began to think about why Sheng Hanyu had rejected her so quickly.

There are generally only two reasons for refusing without hesitation. The first is that the matter is so counterintuitive that it can be rejected without thinking. The second is that there is already a plan in place, so of course the answer is faster than answering a true or false question on an exam.

She didn't even need to think about why Sheng Hanyu knew what she meant. He clearly came with Ye Siqing, but he came alone, which explained at least two things.

First, his relationship with Ye Sanqing was closer than that of a younger brother, and only he could truly act as Ye Sanqing's agent.

This can be extended further; for example, everything he did last night was at Ye Sanqing's behest, which is quite remarkable.

After all, Lu Xuening couldn't think of anyone else in the world who could simultaneously manage both Lu Wangshen and Lu Mingye; there was no one else besides Ye Sanqing.

The fact that she delegated this authority to Sheng Hanyu shows that he is now highly valued.

Secondly, Sheng Hanyu remains wary of the Lu family, including Lu Xuening herself.

No matter how strongly she expresses her desire to break away from the Lu family, it's just talk; she hasn't taken any action yet.

As the saying goes, don't look at what a person says, but look at what they do.

So, essentially, nothing happened before the change occurred.

Since it's him, it's normal for him to have this basic level of vigilance...

"So, do you have any deadlines in mind?"

Sheng Hanyu looked at her slightly anxious expression and asked.

“Yes, but…” Lu Xuening frowned, “I think it would be difficult for them to carry out their threats against me.”

"How to say?"

"If I can't find a suitable marriage partner on my own, I'll be assigned to a family they've arranged for me."

"distribute……"

"Yes, I estimate that if things really develop to this point, even if I'm unwilling, it won't make a difference."

What she said is indeed true; the Lu family members are the kind of people who would force a fait accompli.

"Then why do you say it's difficult to implement?"

"You're asking a question you already know the answer to. Right now, things are in complete chaos, so naturally no one has time to bother with my affairs."

“I’m not asking a question I already know the answer to; I’ve thought about it a step further,” Sheng Hanyu said. “If things are chaotic, besides the lack of management, it’s also easy for people to take advantage of the situation. If someone were to propose a reasonable solution at this time, such as marrying you off to a wealthy family—something that would seemingly benefit the Lu family—I don’t think anyone would object.”

"You're so insightful. Is this the basic quality of a heir to a wealthy family?" Lu Xuening accepted the matter quickly.

She knew she was inferior to Sheng Hanyu, not only in terms of status and position, but also in everything else.

After all, before being taken back by the Lu family, she was just an ordinary person.

Ordinary people have no access to this level of knowledge, nor is it necessary for them to think about it so much.

"Yes and no," Sheng Hanyu said, but her actions showed that she was nodding.

He is different from others, and he knows exactly why.

However, it cannot be denied that this basic thought process is essential for every successor.

"So, I have to accept your help today?" Lu Xuening smiled.

In this respect, she is quite similar to Lu Wangshen... Should they be cousins?

Sheng Hanyu didn't bother to calculate the exact distance. He said seriously, "I know you have doubts about me, and I won't guarantee that you won't have to repay this favor."

"Because if I did that, it would be unfair to other people."

“I understand.” Lu Xuening did not refute.

If she has no other choice, she will naturally accept the offer.

But whether she had no choice or not... Logically speaking, she should have contacted other members of the Lu family to sound them out before making a decision.

“Then, if you agree, I’ll say hello to Ning Leyi… no, I’ll just say hello to his brother.” Sheng Hanyu looked at Xu Jingyan, who immediately took out his phone.

"You need to contact Ning Xiuyuan, right? I'll take care of it now."

Sheng Hanyu talked for a long time, and Xu Jingyan thought he was going to take on the matter himself, but if he were to make the contact...

That is, Sheng Hanyu wanted to pin this matter on him.

He will naturally assist from the sidelines.
