In the luxurious lobby.
Lu Manman held her father’s arm as she faced Mo Yuanxiu and his father, Mo Changkun.
The four of them faced each other.
Mo Changkun was the first to speak. He greeted Lu Manman in his usual tone. “Old Lu, it’s rare to see you bringing along a woman other than Mrs. Lu to the business dinner. I heard that Manman has started working at the Lu Firm?”
“I brought her along to broaden her horizons.” Lu Zishan had been in the business industry for decades and had faced his fair share of important people discreetly. Hence, even though he was in an awkward position because of his junior, he was still able to act so amiably and maintain a nice atmosphere. He turned to Lu Manman and gently said, “This is Uncle Mo. You should get to know him. The Mo Mandate is made up of real estate, and we will have a chance to collaborate in the future. Manman, make a toast to him.”
“Yes.” Lu Manman nodded obediently. She picked up her wine glass and respectfully said, “Uncle Mo, here’s to you.”
Mo Changkun looked at Lu Manman and smiled kindly. He said gently, “Manman, you don’t have to be so polite. We might even be a family in the future.”
“Old Mo…” Lu Zishan was a little unhappy.
Mo Changkun was still smiling at Lu Zishan. “Old Lu, let’s not get involved in the youngsters’ affairs. They will think about it on their own. Why don’t we give them some time to go over it and have a drink? Old Di and Old Gu are over there. It’s been a while since the four families last met up alone. Let’s grab this opportunity to have a good chat with our old friends.”
Lu Zishan turned to look at Lu Manman as if asking for her opinion.
Lu Manman nodded.
Lu Zishan worriedly walked to the other side with Mo Changkun.
The two of them then stared at each other.
Mo Yuanxiu looked at Lu Manman, and she looked back at him.
There was no chemistry between the two of them. One was in a black gown, and the other was in a dark gray suit.
Completely incompatible.
Silence.
There was a long pause.
Lu Manman suddenly turned around to leave.
Mo Yuanxiu grabbed her with some force, and she lost her balance, falling right into his arms.
She wasn’t flustered or helpless but was still shocked beyond her wildest imaginations to have fallen into Mo Yuanxiu’s arms. She let out a suppressed shriek that sounded very unhappy.
“Let go of me.” Lu Manman controlled her anger.
“Wen Yun just entered the living room.”
“I’ve never used such a lowly method to take revenge!” Lu Manman did not like being controlled by others.
It was evident that Mo Yuanxiu did not care about her resistance at all. He wrapped his arms around her body and forcefully led her to the garden.
Lu Manman did not want to cause a stir, so she followed him.
The moment she left the garden, she realized that she was out of sight. She pushed Mo Yuanxiu away angrily and said, “Mo Yuanxiu, can’t you behave yourself?”
“How am I not?” Mo Yuanxiu smiled and slowly lit a cigarette before taking a drag.
“Do you think it’s alright if we behave intimately in front of so many people?! I told you to take down the proposal advertisement, but you ignored me?! Mo Yuanxiu, if you don’t provoke me, you won’t be able to live with yourself, right?” Lu Manman growled angrily.
Mo Yuanxiu smiled. “Miss Lu, I think I’m the one who’s been offended! I just touched your car and accidentally hurt your head. Then, you pestered me and insisted on marrying me… Have you forgotten?”
“Mo Yuanxiu!” Lu Manman was about to vomit blood from anger.
