Lan Ruoran's face was ashen. She felt as if she had been slapped a few times in the face. The hand that was originally stroking her lower abdomen also drooped down. The words of the old man opposite her were undoubtedly more like a sharp blade, piercing straight into her heart.
"Miss Lan, as you said, you met Yihan first, so five years ago, I let Xin Yu and Yihan get married. It was indeed unfair to you. I also know that those two children have no emotional foundation before, so it's normal for them to reject each other. So I let Xin Yu study abroad for five years. You've been staying by Yihan's side for the past five years. I didn't say anything, and I didn't take any measures either. This is my compensation for you. I think you haven't suffered any grievances while staying by Yihan's side for the past five years. You have everything you want. Even the high-end apartment in Huanting that you're living in now was bought by Yihan. Of course, the money he spent was still my, Lu Shiyun's, money. The name on the real estate certificate is Lan Ruoran's, and your car was also ordered by Yihan from abroad. In the entire City D, you're probably the only one who can afford to drive it. It can be said that in these years, although you haven't sat in Xin Yu's position, you have been in limitless glory. Miss Lan, do you think what I said is right? "
"… …"
Lan Ruoran trembled all over. She lowered her eyes and bit her lips tightly. The tears in her eyes kept rolling.
Even if she was stupid, now she already knew that Lu Shiyun asked her to come over today, not to prepare her to be Lady Lu, but to humiliate her!
"Oh, Miss Lan, I've been rolling around in the business world for most of my life. Now, I don't like to drag my feet when talking and doing things, so if there's anything I want to say, I won't hide it."
Lu Shiyun reached out and touched the small teacup in front of him. He continued, "I think Miss Lan shouldn't be a person who can't think things through. I won't say anything else. In the past five years, I could ignore the matter between you and my son, but now I can't. My daughter-in-law is back. I don't want you to appear between them again and hinder their marriage. "
The last few words were like poisoned arrows, shooting straight into Lan Ruoran's heart. "There's one thing I'm saying to Miss Lan now, then it will be forever effective — as long as I, Lu Shiyun, am alive, I will only recognize Xin Yu..... She is the daughter-in-law that I, Lu Shiyun, am most satisfied.....
. "Lu Shiyun stood up, took out the check from his pocket, and threw it in front of Lan Ruoran." Actually, I didn't want to pay this money. I just wanted to tell Yihan that your so-called pregnancy was a lie to him. You should know what that child Yihan hates the most. It's the stupidest thing to use this kind of thing to consolidate your position. But I've also been there. I understand how precious a woman's youth is. I won't take back the assets under your name. You can continue to live in the apartment. You can continue to drive the car. Here's a check for 50 million. 10 million a year. Miss Lan, the price I'm offering is not low. I hope you'll take care of yourself. Don't let me do it again. You explain this matter to Yihan yourself. When I come back from England, what I want to see is Yihan coming home every day. "
… …
Lan Ruoran, along with the last trace of blood on her lips, had completely disappeared.
50 million … 10 million a year …
She stared unblinkingly at the check in front of her. To her, it wasn't a check. It was a sharp sword that could pierce her eyes and pierce her heart!
She felt humiliated. Five years. Had she only been with Lu Yihan for five years?
She had known Lu Yihan a long time ago only because of Lady Lu's position. Which woman would be willing to follow a man for so many years without a proper title? But now … everything was ruined. Lu Shiyun was so heartless. He had pushed her into a bottomless abyss!
Leng Xinyu, that woman … What was so good about her?
Lu Shiyun actually treated her like a treasure!
There was a burgeoning resentment in the depths of her heart that kept expanding. She couldn't accept it. She couldn't accept it. Hearing Lu Shiyun's footsteps getting further and further away, she stood up almost instantly. Lu Shiyun had one hand on the door handle, but Lan Ruoran opened her mouth to call out to him.
"Old Master Lu!"
Lu Shiyun's action of opening the door paused. He didn't turn around. "Is there anything else?"
"Yes, I still have something to tell you."
Lu Shiyun frowned. He paused, then turned sideways. "Miss Lan, what do you want to say? Just say it."
Lan Ruoran clenched her fists by her sides. Her eyes flickered for a moment before she finally said, "Old Master Lu, you can belittle me as if I'm worthless, but at least I'm sincere towards Yihan. That Leng Xinyu you're talking about, do you know if she's done anything to let Yihan down? In your heart, she's so pure and obedient. She's the daughter-in-law of the Lu family that you've acknowledged. But from what I know, she's made Yihan a cuckold many times outside! "
Lu Shiyun's expression darkened. He turned around abruptly and stared at Lan Ruoran. His tone was extremely impatient. "Miss Lan, I've given you face. I didn't let you down by asking you to come see me today. Since I've taken your money, be more obedient and cooperative. Don't end up with nothing when the time comes!"
Lan Ruoran's gaze wavered. In her heart, she was still a little wary of Lu Shiyun. But right now, she was even more determined to throw caution to the wind.
If she couldn't become Lady Lu in the end, what right did she have to let that Leng Xinyu benefit from it?
If it hadn't been for her, she would have already married Yihan five years ago …
She gritted her teeth, raised her head, and said word by word, "Old Master Lu, do you think I'm slandering her? You're so rich and powerful. Why don't you get someone to investigate whether that Leng Xinyu has done anything good in the past five years in England? "
…
When Lu Shiyun came out, the butler who was taking care of him went up to him. Probably because he noticed that his expression wasn't normal, the butler thought that Lan Ruoran wasn't easy to get rid of.
"Old Master, are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
Lu Shiyun's brows were tightly knitted the entire time. With the butler's help, he got into the car. Once the chauffeur started the car, he continued, "I'm going to England in the afternoon. Stay in D City and help me contact Xin Yu's tutor in England all these years. Tell him that I want to meet him and thank him for taking care of Xin Yu all these years."
The butler couldn't figure out what Lu Shiyun was thinking, but he didn't dare to ask too much. He nodded and said, "Yes."
…
Ji Yang knocked on the door of the President's office. Very quickly, a deep voice came from inside. "Come in."
He pushed the door open and entered. Qin Fangang was buried in a pile of documents. Ji Yang went up to him. "Boss Qin, Chairman Lu should have boarded the plane at two in the afternoon."
Two in the afternoon?
Qin Fangang frowned. He raised his wrist to look at the time on his watch. His eyes unconsciously glanced at the closed blinds. The door of the office not far away was still tightly shut.
Ji Yang had worked for Qin Fangang for so many years, so naturally, he could figure out his boss's every move. Now he knew very well that Boss Qin was probably thinking about Miss Leng.
He immediately said, "Miss Leng called today. She said … she won't be coming to the company. She must have gone to the construction site with Miss Mu. She said that since there's nothing much to do here, she went directly to the construction site to take a look."
Qin Fangang glanced at Ji Yang and raised his eyebrows. "She called you?"
Ji Yang was stunned and nodded stiffly. "… Miss Leng said that she wanted me to let Boss Qin know."
Qin Fangang nodded. He rested his chin on one hand and rested the other on the big desk. His slender fingers tapped on the documents on the desk. The office door was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Ji Yang instinctively turned around and saw Lu Yihan holding a blue folder. He had one hand in his trouser pocket as he swaggered in.
"You can leave first," Qin Fangang said to Ji Yang.
Ji Yang nodded. When he passed by Lu Yihan, as a subordinate, he naturally nodded at him and greeted him as General Manager Lu.
Lu Yihan's face darkened. He probably felt that it was an insult to be addressed as General Manager Lu in front of Qin Fangang.
After Ji Yang left, Lu Yihan threw the folder in his hand in front of Qin Fangang. He opened his hands and pressed them against the edge of the big desk, clasping his fingers slightly.
He smiled sarcastically. "Boss Qin, this is the progress of my project. I've done everything I can do at the moment. I'm just waiting for Boss Qin to sign, and the project can start."
Qin Fangang took the document expressionlessly and glanced at it. There really weren't any problems. It looked like Lu Yihan had spent a lot of effort on this project. Otherwise, he wouldn't have flown to City A personally. As a member of the Lu family and Lu Shiyun's bloodline, he more or less had some of his business acumen.
Qin Fangang didn't intend to make things difficult for Lu Yihan on this project. He picked up the fountain pen and signed his name.
When he threw the document to Lu Yihan, Qin Fangang's face revealed some of the dignity of a person in charge of a company. He said word by word, "In the future, before you enter the door, regardless of whether there's someone inside or not, you have to learn how to knock on the door. This is the CEO's office, not your general manager's office. Do you understand? "
Lu Yihan nodded seriously. After a moment, he sneered. "Then, Boss Qin, Leng Xinyu is my, Lu Yihan's, wife. She's not someone you can meddle with. Do you understand?"
Qin Fangang tightened his grip on the fountain pen. He raised his head unhurriedly. His sharp gaze met Lu Yihan's, and his sexy thin lips curved slightly. "Meddle with her? I've never thought of meddling with her. "
Meddling with her was referring to taking something that one shouldn't have. It could also be described as meddling in something.
He, Qin Fangang, should have gotten Leng Xinyu? Or, should he have wanted her?
He had never thought of it that way.
Lu Yihan looked at Qin Fangang's calm expression and became even angrier. There were some things that he was almost certain of, but he just couldn't find any evidence. But it was this vague feeling that drove him crazy. He had been telling himself that Leng Xinyu's existence was meaningless to him. Didn't he live the same way after being married for five years?
