The true heiress returns, and at the recognition banquet, Lu Anning publicly rejects the marriage, only to be sent to a man's bed by her "loving" mother.
"Just accept your fat...
Coming out of the subway station, Zhao Zheyan was already waiting at the exit. When he saw Lu Anning, he immediately stepped forward, grabbed her, and looked her over carefully.
"Are you really okay?"
"I'm really fine, not hurt at all. I was just scared just now!"
Zhao Zheyan stared at her pale face and frowned: "If you get off work too late in the future, call me and I will pick you up."
Lu Anning was stunned for a moment, then quickly refused: "No need. I will be careful next time. I'm fine. Let's go!"
Zhao Zheyan sighed softly and handed her the hot tea he had prepared earlier. "To calm you down! And this is my homemade anti-wolf spray. It's much more effective than those on the market. Keep it with you."
Lu Anning looked at the thing in his hand and felt a warm feeling in his heart.
"Then I won't be polite to you!"
"Actually, I'm still single, so you don't have to worry about causing me trouble or being misunderstood. I'm happy to be bothered by you."
Lu Anning seemed to hear something else in his words and was about to explain, but Zhao Zheyan didn't give her a chance. He opened the car door for her and changed the subject.
Lu Anning didn't think much about it. After all, Zhao Zheyan took good care of her in private when she was in school.
The two of them came to Yunding together, and the other classmates had arrived.
My former classmates are now either wealthy or high-ranking. Most of the boys have inherited their family businesses, some working hard to make money, while others continue to be second-generation rich. As for the girls, daughters of prominent families, they all hope to find a suitable partner, ideally marrying a wealthy man, but at the very least, marrying someone of equal status.
When they came in, the people in the box were already chatting animatedly. The girls were comparing their haute couture dresses and jewelry, while the men were bragging about their recent achievements, such as buying new cars. No one had expected that Zhao Zheyan would appear with Lu An Ning, and they were all stunned when they saw the two of them come in.
These two were the celebrities of their class at that time, one was a top student and the school idol, and the other was a talented girl.
The reason why Lu Anning was called a talented girl was because when the school beauty pageant was held, Lu Anning and her classmate Guo Jiayi tied for first place in the number of votes. This was because the Guo family was wealthier than the Lu family, and Guo Jiayi dressed up every day. In comparison, Lu Anning focused all her attention on her studies.
As a result, everyone gave the title of school belle to Guo Jiayi, and Lu Anning became a well-deserved talented girl at the time. Not only was she outstanding in her studies, but also in various talents.
However, everyone had seen the news about the Lu family and Lu Anning severing ties a while ago. Looking at Lu Anning now, he naturally felt a sense of superiority.
Hu Ying was the first to speak out: "Isn't this our school idol Zhao Zheyan? How could you come with someone like Lu Anning! She was kicked out of the Lu family a long time ago. As an orphan, she has no right to attend our class reunion. Don't you think you are lowering your status?"
Zhao Zheyan's face darkened. "We're all classmates, but your words are too harsh. Since when did class reunions require status to get admission? How noble is your background? Without your parents' support, you'd be nothing."
"You..." Hu Ying was so angry that she was about to argue when she was stopped by a slender arm behind her.
Guo Jiayi stood up, and her white rhinestone gauze dress made her look like an immortal.
"Yingying, we're all classmates. Since Zheyan brought him here, forget it! Lu Anning has been kicked out of the Lu family now. Since we're classmates, everyone should take care of him in the future. At the very least, arranging a job for Lu Anning to support himself shouldn't be a problem."
Guo Jiayi smiled and looked at Lu An Ning like a savior, waiting for Lu An Ning to burst into tears of gratitude.
She heard that Lu Anning was kicked out of the Lu family and had his adoptive father block his way out. She probably didn't even have a decent job now.
How could she catch Zhao Zheyan's eye when she's in such a miserable state!
In the end, it still has to be her.
"I don't need it." Lu Anning directly rejected Guo Jiayi. Looking at the atmosphere in the box, she even gave up the idea of sitting there. A few years later, this group of people were living in a worse state than before.
"People with different ideals cannot work together. Let's have a good time together. I'm leaving first." Lu An Ning didn't want to waste time making himself uncomfortable, and was about to leave when Hu Ying quickly blocked the door with her body.
"Lu Anning, what do you think this place is? You can come and go as you please. Everyone feels sorry for you and is worried that you won't have enough food to eat, so they want to introduce you to ways to make money. Why don't you appreciate it?" Hu Ying smiled evilly and winked at the other classmates. Several people came forward and surrounded the door.
It looked like they had no intention of letting Lu An Ning leave.
Zhao Zheyan didn't expect this kind of scene, and his face looked extremely ugly.
"What are you doing?"
Guo Jiayi pulled Zhao Zheyan aside and said, "Zheyan, this has nothing to do with you today. We are all helping Lu Anning out of kindness. She is so proud, she will definitely not want to accept our gift. Why don't we let Lu Anning drink? What do you say? Ten thousand per bottle. When you're done, all the money I brought will be yours."
Guo Jiayi took out a wad of cash from her bag and threw it on the coffee table. With her leading the way, the others followed suit and looked at Lu Anning with contempt in their eyes.
"Lu Anning, please don't say that our classmates haven't taken care of you. Drink! There's no faster way to make money than this. Don't you agree?" Guo Jiayi curled her lips and said, "Lu Anning, drink yourself or be forced to drink, you choose."
For a while, there was a lot of noise. Zhao Zheyan wanted to stop it, but he was held back by several classmates, not giving him any chance to disrupt it.
Lu Anning looked at the pile of cash and foreign liquor on the table and walked towards the pile of liquor with a smile.
Her slender hands picked up a bottle of wine and played with it: "With so many famous wines, you think highly of me."
Her eyes turned slightly, and suddenly, a cold light flashed. She smashed the wine bottle and pulled Guo Jiayi, who was closest to her, over. The broken and sharp wine bottle hit Guo Jiayi's fair face.
Lu Anning smiled brightly and charmingly: "What if I don't drink?"
