“What are you saying?!” Wen Yun clenched his fist, and his body was shaking with anger.
“You’re curious, aren’t you? Let me tell you something, Wen Yun. I had a dream. In the dream, there was a very clear image. In the image, you married me for the Lu family’s assets and then got hold of the assets. You caused an accident, and I ended up dead.” Ignoring Wen Yun’s anxiety and anger, Lu Manman spoke slowly and calmly.
Wen Yun was fuming mad at her. He wanted nothing more than to take her to the reporters and clarify some facts. Even if he couldn’t take her away, he could just find a place to hide and create an accident!
But now, she was so calm and composed that he wanted to strangle her to death.
He suppressed his emotions and said, “That was just a dream! Don’t tell me you thought it was real?!”
His voice was almost a snarl.
Back then, Wen Yun had said, “Lu Manman, what a pity. I wanted to see you lose your mind.”
She smiled discreetly. “You know very well whether it’s true or not.”
With that, she turned around and left.
She did not need to stay or talk to this man anymore.
As for how crazy he looked…
It did not matter to her whether she watched it or not. She had a feeling that she would see it sooner or later.
“Lu Manman, you… Ah!” Wen Yun growled from behind her.
Lu Manman turned around and saw that Wen Yun had been punched to the ground by Qin Ao. There were more marks on his bruises from last night. Wen Yun had not expected to be beaten to the ground again and again and to be unable to get up.
Qin Ao had one foot on his chest as if he was waiting for Lu Manman’s instructions.
She was suddenly very grateful to Mo Yuanxiu. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to see Wen Yun in such a pathetic state.
She saw the anger in him as he tried to struggle.
She stared at him for a second and then turned around to leave.
She left so casually.
In her previous life, when she bade farewell to this world, she had thought about it. If there was a next life, she would ask him what was wrong with her for working so hard and loving him so much. What was wrong with her that she wasn’t worthy of him, that she had to be plotted against and cheated by him like this?!
At this point, she did not feel like asking anymore.
There was no such thing as a causal relationship in this world. As long as one did not care, nothing would matter!
When she entered the villa, Qin Ao let go of Wen Yun to follow her.
Wen Yun lay on the ground, his eyes bloodshot.
He had never thought that he would be defeated by a woman! He had never been like this in his life—being plotted against and trampled on time and time again! He could never let this go! He had to take double the revenge on her!
At this point.
A familiar black car appeared in the distance.
In the car, Ye Heng looked at Mo Yuanxiu and his indifferent expression.
He had just left when Mo Yuanxiu made him turn around. The moment he turned around, he saw the interesting scene between Lu Manman and Wen Yun. He almost clapped his hands in joy, but he couldn’t bring himself to smile at the cold man behind him. He just hadn’t expected that the sensible and smart Lu Manman would have such a domineering side to her.
But the man in the backseat did not react at all.
“Ye Heng,” Mo Yuanxiu suddenly called.
“Mm-hm,” Ye Heng answered.
“Increase the manpower around Lu Manman.”
“Are you worried that Wen Yun will take revenge on Lu Manman?” Ye Heng asked.
“When forced into a corner, one can do anything,” Mo Yuanxiu said.
Ye Heng nodded. “Alright, I know.”
“Also, take this opportunity to monitor Old Master Wen’s every move and leave behind evidence,” Mo Yuanxiu ordered.
“Okay.”
Mo Yuanxiu looked at the scenery of Wen City through the car window calmly and smiled beautifully. “Ask your father to choose a propitious day for me.”
“For what?”
“My wedding.”
Ye Heng’s eyes widened.
“Lu Manman just agreed to my proposal,” Mo Yuanxiu said directly. He was smiling, but it was hard to tell what he was thinking.
Ye Heng felt that his capabilities were really limited. He had not been able to see through him all these years, so he could only play along. “Alright, I’ll get my dad, Ye Banxian, to pick a good day for you. But before that, Ah Xiu, don’t you think you should make a trip back to the capital?”
“I’ll be back tomorrow morning.”
“Do you need me to accompany you?”
“No need. I’ll leave everything here to you,” Mo Yuanxiu said.
“Don’t worry.”
…
Lu Manman returned to the villa.
Lu Zishan and He Xiuwen seemed to be waiting for her in the living room.
Not wanting to avoid them, she directly walked over.
“Manman, something so serious happened last night, but why didn’t you tell us?!” Lu Zishan was angry and blamed her. “And last night, the servants said that you were back, so when did you leave?!”
“Dad, our Lu family and the Wen family are at odds from today onward,” Lu Manman said.
Before Lu Zishan could say anything, a stern voice sounded from behind him. “Who dares to say something like that! Our Lu family will never break all ties with the Wen family for generations to come! Lu Manman, shut up!”
It was Lu Qinzheng.
This old man who rarely left the Lu family’s main household suddenly appeared in their villa.
Lu Zichuan’s family was with him.
Lu Manman bit her lip as she watched Lu Qinzheng’s imposing manner.
Lu Zishan suppressed his anger and hurried to greet him. “Dad, why are you here?”
“I can’t come, right?! You’re the head of the Lu family now, so I’m not qualified to be in the Lu family villa?!” Lu Qinzheng’s voice was eccentric, and he did not respect Lu Zishan at all.
“Dad, you misunderstood me. What I mean is that I should be driving to pick you up.” Lu Zishan tried to mediate the situation.
Lu Manman had known since she was a child that her dad was really indulgent toward her grandpa. She wondered if it was because he felt bad that the Lu family business had gone over Lu Qinzheng’s head and ended up in his hands. Or perhaps it was because he was used to compromising under Lu Qinzheng’s authority. Either way, he would never go against Lu Qinzheng.
This way of handling matters led to the immediate conclusion that even though their family had made the most contributions to the Lu family, they still felt that they were lower than her second uncle’s family in this household!
This feeling…
Lu Manman felt that she had had enough of this!
