On the eve of their wedding, his girlfriend scoffed, "Look at how high-end my best friend's wedding hotel was, how expensive her banquet was. Then look at you, haggling over seventy or eigh...
Inside a local specialty restaurant.
"I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time."
Zhuang Zhenghong and his son Zhuang Wen were drinking heartily, downing large gulps of beer.
Perhaps Zhuang Wen has already registered his marriage and is about to get married. For Zhuang Zhenghong, the father, it is finally time to take off the mask of a strict father that he has worn for a long time.
Just as the two were enjoying their drinks, a sound from the side caught their attention.
"Look, isn't that girl Ruxue's youngest sister?"
Zhuang Zhenghong put down his wine glass and glanced at a pretty young girl not far away.
Zhuang Wen also turned his gaze over, then raised an eyebrow, nodded, and said, "That's right, she is Ru Xue's youngest sister—Lu An'an."
The girl had short, black hair that reached her ears, skin as smooth as jade, and delicate features; she was simply unbelievably beautiful.
Especially her clear, beautiful eyes, which shone like stars and blinked like twinkling stars, were very eye-catching.
Who else could she be but Lu An'an?
"However, she seems to be..."
Zhuang Zhenghong frowned slightly.
"We've run into trouble."
Zhuang Wen drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.
"Go and help her out of this predicament."
Zhuang Zhenghong said something to Zhuang Wen, then picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
"Um."
Zhuang Wenzheng had this intention, so he put down his wine glass, got up and walked towards Lu An'an.
"Xiaoyu, what do you mean? Why did you call Li Bo here too? Don't you know..."
Lu An'an's skin was as smooth as jade, but at this moment her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her starry eyes stared at the girl next to her with suspicion.
"Oh, An'an, Li Bo just wanted to apologize to you, so he asked me to ask you out..."
The girl next to her was also very pretty, with fair skin and a delicate face, but compared to Lu An'an, she lacked a lot of radiance.
"Is this an apology?"
Lu An'an frowned and pointed impatiently at a two-tiered cake on the table.
"Look, there's an apology written on it."
The pretty girl giggled and pointed to a line of words written in cream on the cake: "An'an, I'm sorry. I hope you can forgive me, and I hope you can say yes to me."
Lu An'an glanced coldly at the pretty girl, then got up to leave. "Xiao Yu, I'm leaving. You stay here."
"An'an, wait a minute."
The pretty girl hurriedly grabbed Lu An'an's arm, but was immediately shaken off by the latter.
"An'an!"
At that moment, a magnetic male voice rang out.
Lu An'an and the pretty girl both stopped what they were doing and looked toward the source of the sound.
The sound came from across from them, where a handsome young man was sitting.
His name is Li Bo, a student at Qingjiang University, and he is pursuing Lu An'an.
He comes from a good family; otherwise, he wouldn't be so confident in pursuing the campus belle of Qingjiang University.
Of course, he was also very good-looking and had a great personality, and was known as the campus heartthrob in college.
He was tall and slender, wearing a white casual suit, with messy black hair, a handsome face, and bright eyes, looking at Lu An'an with deep affection.
"An'an, please don't blame Xiaoyu. It was my idea. I just wanted to apologize to you. Please don't..."
He spoke softly, his face full of affection, which, combined with his handsome face, was enough to "kill" many young girls.
Unfortunately, Lu An'an is not an ordinary girl.
She was beautiful and came from a good family. She had seen plenty of guys like Li Bo, and he didn't even catch her eye.
Lu An'an interrupted Li Bo in a cold voice, saying, "Li Bo, I've already said everything I needed to say yesterday. I hope you won't bother me again, otherwise I think you know what I'm capable of."
Upon hearing these undisguised threats, Li Bo's expression changed.
Others may not know Lu An'an's background, but he knows it very well. Otherwise, he wouldn't have pursued her with such determination after being rejected by her several times.
After Lu An'an finished speaking, she turned to leave.
But the pretty girl next to her, unaware of her background or the terrifying power behind her words, still reached out to stop Lu An'an, "An'an, don't rush off, Li Bo is so sincere..."
Before she could finish speaking, an iron hand reached out from the side and grabbed her wrist.
"Let go of me."
With a slight exertion of iron hand, the pretty girl cried out in pain and involuntarily released her grip on Lu An'an's slender arm.
"Who are you?!"
The pretty girl's face was deathly pale, her features contorted in pain, yet she still looked up at the owner of the iron hand, her eyes trembling with malice as she spoke.
"Brother-in-law?!"
Lu An'an turned her head to look at the owner of the Iron Hand and exclaimed in surprise.
At the same time, her tightly furrowed eyebrows instantly relaxed, and the impatience on her face disappeared, replaced by curved eyebrows and a sweet smile.
Even her bright, starry eyes were filled with joy.
Zhuang Wen smiled and looked at Lu An'an without saying a word.
"Brother-in-law, what are you doing here?"
Lu An'an raised her eyebrows, smiled sweetly, looked at Zhuang Wen, and asked softly.
She was very curious.
“My dad and I were eating here when we ran into you. Now that we’ve seen you, my dad told me to come over and see if there’s anything I can help you with.”
Zhuang Wen turned around and pointed to the table in the corner, where Zhuang Zhenghong was drinking by himself. He turned back to look at Lu An'an, smiled and nodded at her.
"Oh, Uncle Zhuang is here too. I'll go say hello now."
Lu An'an smiled and waved to Zhuang Zhenghong, then, with a smile in her starry eyes, she spoke politely to Zhuang Wen in a soft and pleasant voice.
“An’an, I…”
At this moment, Li Bo stood up from his seat, about to speak, but was startled back by Zhuang Wen's icy gaze, "Didn't you hear what she said just now?"
"Even though you're An'an's brother-in-law, you have no right to control her..."
Li Bo was provoked by Zhuang Wen's sarcastic words and immediately frowned, wanting to retort. However, Lu An'an added coldly, "Li Bo, what my brother-in-law said is exactly what I wanted to say."
“An’an, Li Bo meant well, you…”
The girl next to her also tried to explain for the handsome boy, but Lu An'an didn't give her any face at all and said with disgust, "You get out of here too. We're no longer friends. Don't bother me anymore."
Now, both Li Bo and the girl next to him looked pale and couldn't say a word.
"Brother-in-law, I'll go with you to say hello to Uncle Zhuang."
Lu An'an ignored them completely, gave Zhuang Wen a sweet smile, and then pulled him toward Zhuang Zhenghong.
Li Bo and the girl were incredibly embarrassed as they watched Lu An'an walk to the corner table without even glancing at them. After exchanging a few words, they slunk away from the restaurant.
They left without even touching the cake on the table.
