CH 90

Lu Wan kicked off the two uninvited guys.

Lu Wan’s yacht sailed away and the two young masters of the Zhao family climbed onto their boat half dead.

Zhao Jincheng wiped the water from his face and said with an unpleasant expression, “I was unprepared just now and got pushed into the sea by a surprise attack!”

Zhao Jinming also said to redeem himself, “That’s right. If I was prepared, she will definitely not be able to beat me!”

The people on the ship looked at each other. That doesn’t seem to be the case……

But these two were the young masters of the Zhao family, so they naturally have to support them.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah, you were taken by surprise.”

“That girl is too cunning.”

“Correct. If you’re prepared, you won’t be pushed down in five seconds, you’d last at least five minutes ba!”

———

Lu Wan walked back to their lodging. The barbecue grill had already been set up on the patio.

The next day, the family had just finished breakfast in the dining hall when they encountered unexpected guests.

Zhao Jincheng smiled and said, “Hello, Aunt[1]. I’m also staying in this hotel so I came to greet you.”

Zhao Jianing said “um” and didn’t plan to have a deep conversation.

Zhao Jincheng glanced at Lu Wan on the side, deliberated and said, “I met sister yesterday, but there seems to be a misunderstanding.”

“I know. It’s a small matter. You and my daughter don’t need to take it to heart.”

Zhao Jincheng was startled and the smile on his face was a bit forced. Easy for you to say, it’s your daughter who kicked me into the sea. You’re not the one who suffered, so naturally you won’t take it to heart.

Zhao Jianing said to her husband, “Take Lu Wan back first. I’ll come after you.”

Lu Bainian nodded. He smiled and said, “Wanwan, let’s go.”

Lu Wan hesitated and asked, “President Zhao, will you be okay alone? Is it safe? I think there are fewer people passing this side.”

Zhao Jincheng was a bit irritated. He said while suppressing himself, “What do you think I will do?”

“I don’t know. But more than 70% of criminal offences are committed by acquaintances.” Lu Wan paused, then added, “Don’t take the criticism for yourself, it’s nothing personal. Besides, there’s another saying, barefooted people are not afraid of those who wear shoes[2].”

Lu Wan: “Don’t smile if you don’t want to. Now you shout at me when there are many people, if it’s just the two of us, won’t you hit me?”

Zhao Jincheng broke down completely. He couldn’t bear it anymore and said, “You’re as strong as a cow. Can I beat you?”

Lu Wan: “……”

You know, although you’re very self-aware, no girl likes being called a cow.

How rude.

“Mom, I don’t like him. He called me a cow.” Lu Wan turned around and complained.

Zhao Jincheng: “……”

The relationship hasn’t been established yet, but he was already going insane!

This damn girl must have done this on purpose!

Zhao Jianing raised her eyebrows. Her voice was very soft, but her tone was firm, “Well, if you have anything to say, just say it now. As you can see, Wanwan is very uncomfortable with you.”

She never gave her two brothers face, but as an elder, it was not good to be too harsh on a junior.

Lu Wan was different. She’s a few years younger than the other party, so there’s naturally no need to restrict herself.

Zhao Jincheng held his forehead. He hesitated for a few seconds before saying, “It’s like this, I know that Aunt and the Lu Group are preparing to develop the land in the south of the city together. My father and second uncle[5] feel worried. If you need them, they can help you. After all, we are a family.”

His father and second uncle had already approached Zhao Jianing several times.

They often couldn’t see her, but even if they did, they couldn’t say more than three lines before the other party would voice that she still had another schedule and had to go.

In a very lofty tone.

Zhao Jianing: “No need. I’m just following Elder Brother to find something to do. Your father thinks too highly of me. If this is what you wanted to say, then we have nothing to talk about.”

She sneered in her heart. They’re really good at calculating, saying it’s helping, but what they actually wanted was to get a piece of the pie.

But how much dumber could someone be?

Of course, there was no need to make things clear if it’s between relatives, but were those two people worthy?

She had only one elder brother and that was Lu Jinye.

Zhao Jincheng was stunned for a few seconds before he realized that Zhao Jianing was referring to Lu Jinye, not his own father, when she said elder brother.

That’s right. The siblings had been estranged for more than ten years.

Hearing President Zhao’s words, Lu Wan regained her energy immediately and held Zhao Jianing’s wrist. “Then let’s go back. It’s sunny outside.”

Although it wasn’t by intention, those people were the ones who started it all.

How could Lu Wan have any good feelings towards that family?

Now that she had found her biological parents, there was no need to mention the past since it was all over.

But these people wouldn’t make any less trouble in the future.

As cannon fodder female supporting characters, most of them couldn’t escape the fate of family destruction.

In the original story line, Lu Wan lost her mind and jumped off the building onto her death.

In the later period, the Zhao family united with the Jiang family, as well as with the group’s mole to set up a trap and encircle her mother and uncle. This broke her family.

But the plot had to develop like this. After all, with Lu Jinye safe and sound, according to his personality, how could he do nothing after the death of his niece?

He likely couldn’t wait to have all the relevant people be buried with her.

The same goes for President Zhao.

In the original novel, these were nothing more than a few sentences mentioned in passing. After all, the focus was on the Mary Sue hero and heroine.

The Lu family was just a stumbling block that affects their happiness, and a few sentences describe the bleak end of the Lu family, contrasting the grand marriage of the two lead characters, making readers feel greatly satisfied.

But for Lu Wan, this was her life, her family.

She wasn’t a tool to support anyone’s happiness, and neither was her family.
