Chapter 72 Mr. Lu: I want to

"My mother is my father's second wife. She used to be his secretary."

Sang Wan understood, no wonder he was only a few years older than Lu Jinxuan.

"So your mother is now..."

Lu Tingzhou held Sang Wan's hand for a moment and said, "She passed away. She had a difficult labor and heavy bleeding when she gave birth to me."

Sang Wan: ...

She looked at Lu Tingzhou, not knowing what to say, so she just held his hand and leaned closer to him.

"My grandmother took care of me when I was little, and I wasn't taken back to the Lu family until I started school. It was okay at first. Although my second brother didn't like me very much, my eldest brother was kind and treated me very well."

"And then?"

Sang Wan knew that in a family like his, there would inevitably be struggles for power. Since they were born to the same mother, they were definitely closer to him.

"That's how it was afterwards. Let's not talk about the past anymore."

Lu Tingzhou didn't want to make Sang Wan feel bad. All the suffering he had endured was now in the past.

"Lu Tingzhou, I will love you well."

Suddenly hearing the girl's confession, Lu Tingzhou pursed his lips. It seems that he will have to play the victim more in the future, and the little fox will be more proactive.

Lu Jinxuan happily followed the old lady around in the crowd.

I don’t know what the old fox said to him. Does this silly kid really not understand, or is he pretending not to know?

After the banquet, the old lady refused to let them leave no matter what.

Lu Tingzhou was chatting about company matters with her uncle in the study, and the old lady took her and Lu Jinxuan to the yard for tea.

Lu Jinxuan took the initiative to speak, "Sister Wan, my mother has crossed the line with you and my uncle."

The old lady knew what he meant as soon as she heard it. "Jinxuan, although you are not my great-grandson, you are a kind-hearted child. Tingzhou has always kept you and your mother separate. Your mother is too thoughtful..."

Lu Jinxuan's expression darkened. "Grandma, my mother is stubborn and I've argued with her before. I'm just not cut out for this. The company should be handed over to someone as capable as my uncle. But you also know my father... so I don't want to contradict her too much. She thinks her way, and I do mine."

The old lady nodded and said, "You are a good child."

Sang Wan didn't say anything the whole time. She learned a lot of information from the words of the old man and the young man. It seemed that Lu Tingzhou had not had a smooth life before.

"Sister Wan, even though you and my uncle have reconciled, I still feel quite ashamed. I will try to persuade my mother."

When Sang Wan thought of Sun Meixi, she felt really uncomfortable. She didn't know why she was so hostile to her.

"Jinxuan, has your mother ever told you anything? Why does she have such a big prejudice against me?"

The last time Sun Meixi and Mr. Lu came to find her together, Sang Wan could feel that Sun Meixi had a hidden hatred for her and didn't want her to enter the Lu family even more than Mr. Lu did.

Moreover, Wang Sheng also said that it was impossible for her to enter the Lu family. Now it seems that Wang Sheng must have known something from Sun Meixi.

Lu Jinxuan shook his head. "I really don't know. I asked her before, and she said it was Grandpa's idea."

"Your grandfather is an old fool. Even if it's just to repay a favor, he can't let your uncle marry that woman. This will trap your uncle in marriage for the rest of his life."

The old lady got angry when she talked about this. She actually let Lu Tingzhou marry a woman with a child.

"Given that brat's temper, if he really gets married, he won't touch her, let alone look for someone else outside."

"Wouldn't that be the end of his life?"

Seeing that the old lady was getting angrier and angrier, Sang Wan quickly tried to appease her, "Grandma, Tingzhou is not someone who can be manipulated by others."

Lu Jinxuan nodded in agreement, "Grandma, my sister is right, don't be angry, my grandfather didn't force my uncle."

When the old man of the Lu family was mentioned, the old lady looked disdainful. "That's because Tingzhou has grown up. He can't control that old man. I don't know why a silly girl like me fell in love with him back then. He is so heartless and ungrateful. Tingzhou has suffered so much since he was a child."

It was already evening when Lu Tingzhou came out of the study. Seeing Lu Jinxuan, he asked, "Is there anyone you like?"

"I thought you had arranged some good job for me, but it turned out that you were just taking the blame. Uncle, you're getting better and better at tricking me."

"I'm giving you a chance. Why don't you find someone you like? Do you really want to marry Xu Mingyue?"

As Lu Tingzhou spoke, he sat down next to Sang Wan, his hand unconsciously around her waist.

The old lady was so delighted. She had never seen this brat with such an expression before.

He seems to be very attached to the little girl.

"Who said I want to marry her? Don't worry about this, uncle. I have already sorted things out with Sister Wei at the film and television company. Don't worry, I will definitely provide good logistical support for my sister."

Lu Jinxuan saw that it was almost time and wanted to leave. Since he was in Beijing, he naturally had to find someone to have fun with.

"Who said you should continue?" Lu Tingzhou said in a flat voice, "After the handover next month, you will go to the marketing department. You have been idle for so long, you should go and gain some experience."

Lu Jinxuan frowned instantly, "Uncle, you're just destroying the bridge after crossing it. It seems like you've been eyeing Wanjie for a long time, and I'm just a knife in your hand."

The old lady and Sang Wan looked at the uncle and nephew and laughed happily.

Lu Tingzhou pursed his lips and said, "The Lu family has you as a part of it. I can't rely on you alone. Your second uncle is always trying to make things difficult for me. If you don't help me, you're trying to help him."

Lu Jinxuan didn't dare to resist for a moment, and muttered, "Why would I help him?"

He didn't like his second uncle because he was too smart. He had a smiling face but no one knew what he was thinking.

"I'll listen to your arrangements." He said reluctantly, then said goodbye to the old lady, "Grandma, I'm leaving first. I have an appointment with some friends to play together."

The old lady waved her hand and said, "Go ahead, it's hard for you to stay here and chat with me for so long."

Watching Lu Jinxuan leave, the old lady looked at Lu Tingzhou with a smile, "You can't leave. Accompany me to have a good meal tonight. Your aunt is away on a business trip, and it's just me and your uncle at home, it's so lonely."

"Stay here tonight! The rooms are ready for you!"

The old lady took Sang Wan's hand without saying anything and was very affectionate. It was obvious that she had accepted this "future granddaughter-in-law".

After dinner, after chatting with the old lady for a while, the two went directly to the guest rooms on the second floor.

Seeing Lu Tingzhou following her, Sang Wan's face turned red.

She stopped and gently pulled Lu Tingzhou's sleeve.

"Go back to your room."

After all, it was at his grandmother's house, and the two of them lived together directly. What would his uncle and grandmother think of her?

Lu Tingzhou looked at her slightly red cheeks and the determination in her eyes, how could he not understand what she was thinking.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

He paused, looked at Sang Wan with burning eyes, and raised his thin lips in a playful arc.

"Will you be unable to sleep without me?"

Sang Wan rolled her eyes at him. He was talking nonsense. She already had insomnia and was in an unfamiliar environment.

But she still couldn't sleep with him.

Sang Wan pushed open the door of the guest room and closed it gently.

With a "click", the man was isolated outside.

Sang Wan threw herself into the big bed, rolled around in the quilt, and suddenly felt empty in her heart.

It was clearly me who righteously sent him back to his room, but I was the one who was least used to it at this moment.

I took out my phone and turned it on. The screen suddenly lit up, which was a bit dazzling in the darkness.

She hesitated, her fingertips hovering over Lu Tingzhou's chat box for a long time.

Finally, I couldn't help but type the next line.

【Are you ready for bed? 】

send.

Almost the next second, the phone vibrated.

【Um. 】

Just one word: cold.

Through this word, Sang Wan seemed to see his aggrieved face.

She couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, and the emptiness in her heart was filled with a hint of sweetness.

Her fingertips flew as she sent another message.

[Tonight... I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I'll let you hold me while I sleep when I get home.]

After she finished, she buried her face in the pillow, her ears burning uncontrollably.

"Buzz—"

The phone vibrated again.

There were only four short words on the screen, but they were filled with scorching heat.

Think about it now.

Sang Wan's cheeks burned completely.

This old man!

She threw her phone aside, covered her head with the quilt, and tried to calm herself down.

It was clearly her who seduced her, but in the end she was the one who felt uncomfortable.

In my mind, his deep eyes and...

Sang Wan tossed and turned in bed like a pancake, and simply sat up to divert his attention.

She picked up her phone again and logged into JC's Weibo account.

The password has been changed, but the pictures I saved still haven't disappeared.

Who is it?

Hack into her private account so precisely and delete that photo?

If she didn't have the base map in her hand, she would have been speechless this time.

However, the organizer's approach this time was correct, and it is undeniable that her subsequent changes did add icing on the cake.

Being disqualified saved her career.

Sang Wan's fingertips slid across the cold screen, flipping through the small list of contacts.

A familiar profile picture suddenly jumped into her sight.

This person often asked her to write articles, but she never asked him how he would use them.

I submitted the manuscript and got paid, but there was no further communication after the payment was made.

Could it be Song Xinran?

Sang Wan's eyes suddenly turned cold.

She has been abroad, so it is not impossible.

When she was confused, Sang Wan searched for Modo's women's clothing in the past two years. Many of them looked familiar, and it was not difficult to see her style and shadow.

Sang Wan bit her lip, everything made sense.

It really is that woman.

Sang Wan's eyes became sharp. She clicked on Song Xinran's homepage, took a screenshot and sent it to Su Mo.

[Momo, please find someone to help me check the IP address of this account.]

After sending it, Sang Wan let out a long breath, but the tightness in his chest did not dissipate.

She put down her phone, got up from the bed, and went downstairs to get a glass of water.

It's late at night and everyone is asleep.

The ancient house exudes a quiet beauty under the moonlight.

The living room was pitch black, with only the cool moonlight outside the window outlining the vague contours of the furniture.

Sang Wan groped her way to the bar and poured herself a glass of warm water.

I just took a sip and didn't have time to swallow it.

A pair of strong arms came up from behind without warning and wrapped around her waist tightly.

His broad, warm chest pressed perfectly against her back.

“Hmm!”

Sang Wan was startled and almost choked on the water in her mouth. Her scream was quickly and accurately covered by a big hand.
