Chapter 63 - Marrying Wen Yun Is Despicable (1)
Lu Manman returned to the villa.
She had to admit that her heart had skipped a beat just a second ago.
Any woman would be touched by such a romantic proposal, and she was no exception.
Thankfully, she was rational.
Everything was just a part of her and Mo Yuanxiu’s plan. She wouldn’t be so silly as to think that a playboy like Mo Yuanxiu would suddenly take someone else seriously. Moreover, she wouldn’t allow herself to make the same mistake that she’d foolishly committed last lifetime.
She took a deep breath and got ready to watch the television.
Her cell phone suddenly rang.
She looked at the incoming call and pursed her lips. “Grandpa.”
“Come back to the quad.”
“What is it?”
“Lu Manman, I thought you were a lot more sensible now that you’re all grown up! Let me remind you again. You just have to abide by your elders’ requests. Don’t ask for the reason!” Lu Qinzheng said angrily.
Lu Manman bit her lip and forced herself to calm down. “I’ll be right back.”
She hung up the phone.
Although Lu Qinzheng had a better impression of her during their last birthday celebration, Lu Xuanran was still the person Lu Qinzheng wanted to support the most, so he still had a deep-rooted grudge against Lu Manman.
She returned to her room, grabbed her bag, and got a chauffeur to drive her to the Lu family’s main household.
She used to be afraid of going back to this place because she would be picked on and chided, but she didn’t want to quarrel with anyone. Her parents had taught her since she was a child to maintain her etiquette and manners whenever possible! It was only in this lifetime that she realized that good behavior also depended on people, such as how one treated a b*tch…
Lu Manman scoffed.
The car arrived at the Lu family’s main household soon enough.
She walked into the living room, past the pond as usual.
In the living room were Lu Qinzheng, Lu Zichuan, Lan Xiaojun, and Lu Xuanran.
The moment Lu Manman appeared, Lan Xiaojun said sarcastically, “Oh, you look so energetic. You don’t look like you got rejected?”
Lu Manman turned to look at Lan Xiaojun. “Second Aunt, you must be dying to see me devastated.”
“How could you speak to an elder like that? I’m just concerned about you.”
“Second Aunt’s concern is so strange. There hasn’t been a call or a text message from you since the accident, and you’ve been poking at my wound the moment we met… Second Aunt, you’ve been married to the Lu family for so many years, but why aren’t you good with your words? Your concern makes my heart ache. I thought you were mocking me. Am I blaming you wrongly?” Lu Manman said it so calmly that Lan Xiaojun’s face went pale.
When did this damned girl become so aggressive!
She had just wanted to tease her a little, but who would’ve expected Lu Manman to be so direct with her? She even went so far as to scold her. There was so much anger in her heart, and she said fiercely, “Lu Manman, are you deliberately going against me?”
“I’m just reminding Second Aunt out of kindness. You’re a daughter-in-law of the Lu family, after all, and it’s best you watch your words and actions. Xuanran will be going to work in the company in a few days, and he might even have a huge role in the future. Second Aunt, you’ll be spending as much time meeting people as my mother does, so don’t lose your status,” Lu Manman said kindly.
Lan Xiaojun’s expression darkened, and she shrieked. “Lu Manman, what’s the meaning of this?! Are you implying that I’m not of a high enough status and that I’m not as experienced as your mother?”
She knew that she looked down on He Xiuwen and felt that this woman was just lucky enough to be married to Lu Zishan. She had no background and was still the first lady of the Lu family. And now, she was even the matriarch of the household. Lu Manman could not take this lying down!
