At twenty-one years old, Jiang Wanning ...
Lu Hong felt somewhat uncomfortable under Jiang Wanning's gaze.
Is she being unreasonable? What right does Jiang Wanning have to look at her like that?
It's not wrong for her to like Fu Chenyuan, and it's not wrong for her to want to see what kind of person Fu Chenyuan's wife is.
Lu Heng praised Jiang Wanning to the skies and made her the most beautiful woman in the world over the phone.
She then came to see him.
People can all fake it; she only believes what she sees with her own eyes.
"Miss Jiang, aren't you curious about Brother Shenyuan's past? Don't you want to talk about it?" Lu Hong thought she was going to have to say more,
Jiang Wanning smiled faintly and replied, "Okay."
Knowing who the other person was, she wasn't afraid.
No matter what, Lu Hong would never actually harm her.
After all, the relationship between the Lu and Fu families is what it is.
In the mall's coffee shop, Jiang Wanning and Lu Hong went to a private room on the second floor.
Jiang Wanning didn't order coffee, but instead ordered a glass of milk.
Looking at the milk in front of Jiang Wanning, Lu Hong laughed: "Good girl? I didn't expect that Brother Shenyuan couldn't escape the trend either, like other men, when he got married he found a woman who seemed obedient, family-oriented and easy to control."
Her words revealed her dissatisfaction with Fu Chenyuan's choice of partner.
Jiang Wanning took a sip of sweet milk. Having just eaten, she didn't touch the dessert in front of her.
"Otherwise, do you think A-Yuan would marry a career-oriented woman and then stand by her side through thick and thin?"
She doesn't drink coffee simply because she's allergic to caffeine; like tea, it makes it hard for her to fall asleep at night.
After drinking a cup of coffee at this moment, Jiang Wanning will probably have trouble sleeping until five or six in the morning. It will be very painful.
Lu Hong glared at her: "Why not? Only an outstanding girl like Shen Yuan deserves to be with him."
"Like you?" Jiang Wanning said calmly, turning the tables on him.
Lu Hong choked: "I, I..."
She wanted to say that she was still far from being good enough, so she was working hard to become someone worthy of Fu Chenyuan.
But why didn't Fu Chenyuan wait for her?
He used to reject her because she was too young, but now she has grown up.
Jiang Wanning is even younger, a college student who has just graduated from school. What can she bring to Fu Chenyuan?
"You like A-Yuan, right?" is a question, but it expresses an affirmative meaning.
A Yuan?
Jiang Wanning actually called Fu Chenyuan "A Yuan"?
No one is allowed to call him that, so why would he allow it?
Has he forgotten that he said he has someone he likes?
In his heart, hadn't he said that there was only one person who was unique and privileged?
Lu Hong felt deceived.
Why did Fu Chenyuan get married so quickly? Couldn't he wait for his one and only, his special privilege?
It was common knowledge back then that Lu Hong liked Fu Chenyuan.
She stuck out her neck and said irritably, "So what if I do? I'm open to admit I like him! And what about you? Do you like him? Or do you like his power even more?"
"That's my business. The fact that you like him means my husband is quite outstanding, and it also shows that I have good taste. The person I like is not bad." Jiang Wanning said calmly, once again making Lu Hong speechless with anger.
Lu Hong couldn't stand Jiang Wanning's calm and composed demeanor.
She gritted her teeth and gulped down a large cup of coffee, drinking it rather quickly.
She rubbed coffee stains off her lips roughly with a tissue.
Seeing Jiang Wanning looking at her in surprise, Lu Hong glared at her: "What are you looking at! Who says girls have to be demure? I've never been a demure person."
She had just been so angry with Jiang Wanning that she drank so much coffee in one go to try and cool down.
But the fire just wouldn't go down.
She was really angry.
When she was ten years old, Fu Chenyuan returned to the Fu family. Everyone else was afraid of him, but she fell in love with him at first sight.
How can there be such a handsome young man?
Eight-year-old Lu Hong made a wish: when she grew up, she would marry Fu Chenyuan.
She was naturally impulsive and lively, sometimes even reckless, and a bit boyish. For Fu Chenyuan, she started learning to wear skirts and speak softly, but she couldn't stick to it for long and eventually reverted to her old ways.
Over the years, she's been like an unkillable cockroach. She was rejected by Fu Chenyuan directly and without any mercy, but she still can't let go.
She was also proud inside.
Back then, she followed Fu Chenyuan around every day. Even though Fu Chenyuan was cold and didn't give her a kind look, she still shamelessly stuck to him.
She always tried to please Lu Heng, giving him all her good things and shamelessly pestering him to come out with her.
At first, Lu Heng was a bit slow on the uptake and didn't know what she was thinking.
After Lu Heng understood Lu Hong's feelings for Fu Chenyuan, he stopped bringing Lu Hong along when he went out to play with Fu Chenyuan.
But Lu Hong always has a way.
Later, Fu Chenyuan refused with exceptional firmness and clarity, saying that there was only one person who could be the only one and the only one he could grant privileges to.
Lu Hong thought to herself, if there really is such a thing as "only one," then Fu Chenyuan would definitely marry his only one.
Fu Chenyuan has never failed at anything he set his mind to.
But what is Fu Chenyuan doing now? He actually married a random woman!
She was not convinced!
How could she possibly lose to Jiang Wanning!
"Miss Lu, if there's nothing else, I'd like to go home."
go home?
Where should I go back to?
Jiang Wanning left the Zhao family and married Fu Chenyuan.
This is information that Lu Hong investigated.
So she was using Fu Chenyuan as a stepping stone, right?
Or is it that Fu Chenyuan was rejected by his only one, so it doesn't matter who he marries?
"When Shen Yuan returned to the Fu family at the age of ten, he couldn't even speak. He was such a handsome person, but his eyes were so cold. Even so, I fell in love with him at first sight. I thought, I must make those eyes show a beautiful smile. I want those eyes to become warm because of me."
A look of frustration appeared in Lu Hong's eyes.
"But I tried so hard, I used all sorts of funny methods, but he never smiled. He barely even glanced at me. He's so cold. If my brother hadn't been clinging to him, he probably wouldn't have become friends with my brother. And don't be fooled by how successful he is now, he used to be a real troublemaker, always getting into fights on the street."
Jiang Wanning couldn't help but show a surprised expression. She couldn't imagine that Fu Chenyuan used to fight every day.
But soon, Jiang Wanning smiled. If Fu Chenyuan were to fight, he would probably be the coolest guy on the street, right?
She didn't feel disillusioned, just a little disappointed.
She never got to see that kind of boy.
"Later, Brother Shenyuan suddenly became hardworking and ambitious, I don't know what triggered it. He had someone he liked. He said that only one person was special and unique to him."
Jiang Wanning had heard that Fu Chenyuan had suddenly become outstanding, reserved, and composed, but she never expected that Fu Chenyuan actually had someone he liked.
