Because of one sentence, "She's back," Jian Ruo Xi's three-year marriage came to an end.
Fortunately, with the help of her sister-in-law, she quickly made a comeback and becam...
The next morning, Li Anran woke up in a guest room at the Lu family's house.
After the engagement ceremony last night, the Lu family members went back to their own rooms, and she didn't know where to go.
Finally, he pulled one of the maids aside and asked, "Wait, where will I stay tonight?"
Li Anran still remembers the maid's expression and tone last night; she looked down on her.
"Oh, everyone's left, Miss Li, you're still here."
The servants of the Lu family could also see that their young master didn't care about Miss Li at all, and even the engagement ceremony was just a hasty affair.
Whether she will become their young mistress in the future is still uncertain, so there's no need to be polite to her anymore.
"It's too late, and there's no one to take me home."
She had clearly seen that her so-called father, after listening to others' advice, ran away faster than anyone else, showing no regard for her feelings and refusing to take her back.
I've never heard of a daughter staying at her boyfriend's house on her engagement day and refusing to leave.
The servants had no choice; this was a grown woman standing there, and she was, after all, the young master's fiancée. They couldn't just ignore her.
She had no choice but to find a random guest room for Li Anran to stay in, without even cleaning it.
And so, she slept at the Lu family's house for one night.
Li Anran immediately checked the news on her phone, and as expected, it was exactly what she had predicted.
The overwhelming reports above are all unfavorable to her.
"On the day of the engagement, Young Master Lu did not return until late at night. Was this a silent protest against the engagement?"
"To marry into a wealthy family, Miss Li is willing to wait for Young Master Lu for a whole day. Is it a genuine expression of affection, or is she simply greedy for money?"
"The ceremony ended quickly, and it seems that the marriage between Mr. Lu and Ms. Li is hopeless."
One news headline after another bombarded Li Anran with messages, and she tried frantically to delete them, only to find that she couldn't delete them all.
Those media outlets are always quick to make a fuss about her; they can attribute any speculation or association to her.
She searched the entire internet but couldn't find a single comment that said anything bad about Lu Shen.
"These people are afraid of Lu Shen and afraid of getting into trouble, so how dare they write about me so casually?"
"Once I truly become the young mistress of the Lu family, I will make all these people regret it."
The more Li Anran read these comments, the angrier she became. In a fit of anger, she threw her phone out the door.
Then a cry of pain was heard; it was the old lady of the Lu family who had arrived.
She woke up in the morning wanting to see her chosen future granddaughter-in-law, but she never expected her granddaughter-in-law to give her such a big gift.
Li Anran frowned, feeling utterly contemptuous of the old woman. "Why did she come at this time? She's really ruining my mood."
If it weren't for her ability to help her enter the Lu family, she wouldn't bother serving her every day.
However, the necessary superficial work still needs to be done.
Li Anran quickly pretended to feel guilty and went to check on the old lady's injuries. "Grandma, are you alright? I really wanted to see you come back."
"It's nothing, it's just a slight headache. I'll be fine after a rest."
"Anran, I was too busy yesterday and Grandma didn't have time to prepare a room for you. Now your room is ready, so we won't stay in the guest room."
As she spoke, the old lady made a move to pull Li Anran away.
"Grandma, this is just an engagement. It's not appropriate for me to move in before we're even married."
The old lady glared at him. "Who dares to say it's not suitable? You're already engaged to our Ah Shen. Does he think he can marry someone else?"
The maid following behind the old lady couldn't help but sigh.
If the old lady had treated the young mistress even half as well as she treated Li Anran back then, this family wouldn't have fallen apart.
"Look, don't you like it? This was personally chosen for you by your grandmother. It's even bigger than the room Jian Ruoxi lived in back then."
Li Anran knew which room Jian Ruoxi was staying in at the time.
I heard that the old man was very satisfied with Jian Ruoxi's care back then, and directly let Jian Ruoxi move in.
Jian Ruoxi felt embarrassed and chose the smallest room.
The room's furnishings seemed to be arranged according to Jian Ruoxi's own preferences, and no one from the Lu family said anything.
Thinking about this, Li Anran felt somewhat uncomfortable.
"Grandma, it's not appropriate for me to stay in such a big room right away. How about I stay in the leftmost room on the third floor?"
Upon hearing Li Anran's words, the servant behind him turned pale.
This Miss Li is really too ignorant. She finally became the young master's fiancée, but instead of being content with her lot, she even tried to take over the room that was originally the young mistress's.
Since the young mistress left, no one has been allowed to enter that place.
This shows the young mistress's position in the young master's heart.
The old lady had no idea about this floor. Apart from remembering that the room was dilapidated and small, and piled with a lot of clutter, she had completely forgotten that Jian Ruoxi had lived there back then.
"It's dark and small there; it's not suitable for someone of your status."
As the two were talking, Lu Shen passed by the door.
The old lady insisted on showing her grandson the room she had prepared for Li Anran.
"Ah Shen, what do you think about An Ran staying here before the wedding?"
Lu Shen nodded nonchalantly, "Grandma can arrange it."
Li Anran is now considered half a member of the Lu family, so living in the Lu family home is acceptable for her.
Anyway, there are so many houses in the house.
After saying that, Lu Shen was about to leave when Li Anran called him back.
I still want to change rooms.
"Shen, I was just talking to Grandma. This room is decorated too nicely and it's not suitable for me."
"I'd like to move to the leftmost room on the third floor, what do you think?"
The servant standing next to the old lady was trembling.
Did Ms. Li become mentally impaired after leaving the hospital?
Why do you have to be so reckless?
Now, no one can save her.
The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, and Lu Shen grabbed Li Anran's hand, swiftly pinning her against the wall.
“Li Anran, I have tolerated you step by step because I feel guilty towards you and your child, and because I am concerned about your condition. I did not want to make a fuss.”
"Agreeing to get engaged to you is also a way of making up for my promise to you."
"But you must remember one thing: everyone has a bottom line. My bottom line is one that anyone who crosses will not have a good ending. You'd better remember that."
After giving the warning, Lu Shen threw Li Anran to the ground without even sparing her a glance, and walked straight out the door.
Bottom line?
Lu Shen, are you telling me that your bottom line is Jian Ruoxi?
I can't even touch the room she lived in three years ago? When did she become the most precious person to you, Lu Shen?
It wasn't until her grandson had walked far away and was out of sight that the old lady remembered there was still someone sitting on the ground.
He quickly called to the servants beside him, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and help Miss Li up!"
They're all so clueless.
