Lu Manman returned to the villa.
In the villa, her parents were waiting for her in the living room. They seemed anxious.
Seeing that Lu Manman was wrapped in some bandages, they could not calm down anymore. “Manman, what happened? Why are you hurt? Did you suffer at the Wen family’s house, or did your grandpa do something to you?”
“Don’t worry. There was an accident when we got back. It’s just a scratch, but the car might be damaged,” Lu Manman said casually.
“Manman, you’re making us so anxious.” He Xiuwen kept eyeing her daughter, afraid that something had happened to her.
“I won’t in the future,” Lu Manman said. Then, she suddenly remembered something and said, “Dad, to ensure my safety, I even got a private bodyguard, Qin Ao. He’s a boxing champion with a black belt and was even a special forces soldier.”
Lu Zishan and He Wenxiu eyed him.
Qin Ao respectfully greeted them. “Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Lu.”
“You’re hurt?” Lu Zishan looked at him.
“It’s just a small injury. It won’t stop me from protecting Miss Lu.”
Lu Zishan and He Xiuwen looked at each other.
“Qin Ao, you can go first. I have something to discuss with my parents.”
“Yes.”
Lu Manman watched as Qin Ao left. She didn’t care if her parents were still in shock or confused and simply said, “Dad, Mom, I will marry Mo Yuanxiu on the sixth of next month.”
“What?!” Lu Zishan exclaimed.
“It has been confirmed.”
“Manman, aren’t you going to consider it?” He Xiuwen asked anxiously.
“No.”
“Manman…”
“Dad, Mom, I used to be so silly and naive, thinking that I had found a man who loved me and that I could give him everything I had. But now that I’ve seen his true colors, I don’t think it’s worth it anymore. I just want revenge,” Lu Manman said vaguely, but she believed that her parents would understand. “So, in the future, I will be even more careful. And marrying Mo Yuanxiu is the first thing I must do after much consideration. Don’t worry. I will always prioritize my safety, your safety, and the safety of our Lu family’s assets.”
“Dad and Mom would never ask you to do anything as long as you’re happy.” He Xiuwen held her daughter dearly.
Although the Manman of the past was obedient and sensible, she wouldn’t be so insistent on giving or getting something. In her impression, Manman would never be so anxious to do something. After all, her family environment and upbringing were all simple as they didn’t want her to live such a tiring life.
“I know that you all treat me well. That’s why I want to treat you all well. And I feel that the best way for me to treat you all well is to take good care of myself. So, I will become stronger and more independent.” Lu Manman looked at her parents and slowly said, “In this lifetime, I don’t want to experience what it’s like to be plotted against by others.”
Lu Zishan and He Xiuwen looked at their daughter, shocked by her transformation.
“I can’t explain my sudden change.” Lu Manman seemed to read their minds. “But I hope you can trust me.”
Lu Zishan sighed deeply and patted her on the shoulder. “Your mom and I only have you as our daughter. Who else can we trust other than you? Since you’ve decided on this, we will support you unconditionally.”
“Thank you, Dad.” Lu Manman smiled radiantly.
She heaved a sigh of relief. She had been afraid that her ‘willfulness’ would disappoint her parents.
