Lust's Thorn

In Buddhism, wealth, sex, food, fame, and sleep are known as the five desires that trouble people, like thorns pricking the skin, hence "Lust's Thorn."

The moment Yun Tan returned...

Chapter 52: She is greedy for both good fortune and bad luck.

Chapter 52: She is greedy for both good fortune and bad luck.

Yuntan had severe hot flashes all over his body for three consecutive days. He couldn't sleep well at night and had a dry mouth and tongue during the day. After a few glasses of iced American coffee, his stomach started to feel uncomfortable again.

Yuntan was indeed stubborn at first; it was not easy for her to adapt to the environment in Guangdong.

At first, she thought it was caused by Lu Wangshan’s video, but something was wrong for several days. Yun Tan went to the Chinese medicine hospital, and the old doctor prescribed her some Chinese medicine and a few Sanfu plasters.

After a week of treatment, I finally feel better.

Yun Tan felt that Lu Wangshan had truly implanted the concept of health preservation into his mind and heart.

In the office with the air conditioner turned on at 22 degrees Celsius, Yun Tan was wearing a shirt and jacket, holding a thermos cup of hot Chinese medicine and sipping it.

At this moment, a message sent to Xiang Wu suddenly popped up on the phone.

A casual photo of Leo, with a sentence attached.

Xiang Wu: "Xiao Tan! I stole your son away from his father!"

Yun Tan was bewildered: "...Huh?"

Xiang Wu: "My brother's on a business trip, so I secretly brought Leo to Guangdong for a trip. Are you off work yet? Let's have dinner."

Yuntan: "You guys have arrived already?"

Xiang Wu: "It will land soon."

Yuntan: "Plane?"

Xiang Wu sent a video, which showed Leo lying on the sofa and then the magnificent cabin environment around him.

“…”

She still underestimated this young lady, who even brought Leo on a private jet to see her.

Yuntan is still hesitating whether she should meet him or not. Although she misses Leo very much, she has to consider whether it will be hurtful to Leo if she meets him this time and then won't be able to see him for a long time.

Xiang Wu began to persuade him persuasively, "Don't believe my brother's words. Even in divorces these days, it's recommended that children spend more time with both parents. If he refuses to let you see your son, you can sue him!"

Xiang Wu: "Besides, even if I can't see Leo often, seeing him once every two or three months is fine. Leo will be happy too."

Xiang Wu: "Dogs are different from people. People forget about you after not seeing you for a few years, but dogs never forget. If they can't see you, they'll always miss you."

After sending this message, Xiang Wu sighed in her heart that her brother really had a bad temper.

Yuntan was also moved by her last words and decided to go.

The two met at the pet-friendly cafe downstairs from the hotel where Xiang Wu was staying, and Yun Tan rushed there as soon as he got off work.

Xiang Wu had already told Leo, "Your Xiao Tan's mother will be here soon!"

Leo kept his ears erect and stared at the road outside vigilantly. When Yuntan crossed the road, he was already extremely excited. He took small steps on the spot, humming non-stop, and finally forced himself to run towards Yuntan.

Xiang Wu was almost dragged over.

"Woof!"

Leo jumped up, and the big dog weighing more than 80 pounds threw himself into Yuntan's arms, wagging his tail vigorously and licking Yuntan's chin with his head tilted back. The whole dog was in ecstasy, and his body twisted into an exaggerated S shape.

"Wow, Leo! Now I know how hypocritical you are!" Xiang Wu pointed at it and loudly accused it, "I never knew you were so good at acting like a spoiled child!"

Yuntan hugged Leo tightly, accepting his full passion, and her eyes couldn't help but get hot.

"Mom misses you too, Leo. You were sick a while ago. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you."

Xiang Wu gestured with his hands to block the sun from his forehead. He laughed and said, "It's been full of life for a long time. My brother is exaggerating."

Yun Tan took the leash and thanked Xiang Wu earnestly with red eyes. He then asked, "How long will your brother be away on business?"

"One week. You can see Leo every day this week."

Yuntan thanked him again.

Xiang Wu waved: "You're welcome."

She had already ordered coffee and cake in advance, and also asked for a bowl of ice cream for Leo.

"Then will you stay in Guangdong for this week?" Yun Tan was worried that if he didn't entertain Xiang Wu well at work, she would be bored.

"Well, I'm going to see my friends and I'm also planning to go to Hong Kong." Fortunately, Xiang Wu is a person who will not let herself get bored. She has too many friends and fun things to do.

Xiang Wu likes Yun Tan, even though she is not her sister-in-law.

The two of them had afternoon tea and then went to dinner together. They took Leo to an outdoor garden restaurant with a great environment. Most of the people there were couples, and there were also many young and handsome rich kids.

Yuntan and Xiangwu were both approached many times.

Lu Wangshan called during the meeting and asked bluntly, "Why did you bring Leo to Guangdong?"

It turned out that he came to call for punishment.

"Travel, can't I take my nephew out to play?" Xiang Wu said with a confident tone.

"Going to Guangdong on such a hot day?"

"Can I let Leo bask in the hot sun? He can bask in the sun, but I can't!"

"Give the phone to Yuntan."

Xiang Wu choked. Was this person installing a surveillance camera on her?

She lazily leaned back in her chair, watching Yun Tan across from her dealing with a new male guest who was trying to strike up a conversation with her. She gloated, "Wait a minute, brother. Xiao Tan is looking for a stepfather for Leo."

Yun Tan paused after hearing this, and rejected the man in front of him. She looked blankly at Wu and handed the phone to him. She tapped Leo with her beautiful long nails and said, "It's his father calling."

“…”

Yun Tan suddenly became nervous, his back straightened, and he sat up straight. He took the phone and expressed his determination: "Don't worry, I will take good care of Leo these days."

The person across from me burst out laughing at the fog.

Lu Wangshan asked, "Will you tell me if you want to see it? Will you let Xiang Wu steal it for you?"

Yun Tan was stunned for a moment, and before she could explain that she hadn't instigated Xiang Wu, she asked, "Can I see Leo?"

"It wants to see you, and I won't stop it."

Yun Tan felt that Lu Wangshan was really nice, and his heart softened again.

I thought that even if he really divorced after having a child, the child would be well taken care of and mentally healthy.

He is completely different from a father like Yun Qihui.

Lu Wangshan gave a few more instructions, and then someone called him on the other end of the phone, so he quickly hung up.

Yuntan returned the phone to Xiang Wu and met her teasing gaze.

"Xiao Tan, you really don't love my brother at all?"

Without waiting for her to answer, Xiang Wu shrugged and continued, "Forget it, I don't believe it. You must love him to death."

Perhaps it was the cozy environment that made Yun Tan relax. She just smiled faintly, neither admitting nor denying: "Whatever happened, it's all in the past."

"It's not that easy to get over it. My brother is exactly like Leo. Even if ten years had passed, he would still wag his tail at you."

Yun Tan laughed: "Does your brother know that you said that to him?"

"Really?! I think it's our family's feng shui. Not to mention him and Leo, even my dad and his dad are like this!"

Yun Tan shook his head: "He will eventually meet someone more suitable."

"My brother's stubbornness? He's not like that! I tell you, he's just had it so easy. His family background is obvious, he was at the top of his class, got a double degree in his undergraduate degree, and successfully graduated with a master's degree in a different major while working part-time. He's never made a single mistake since he started working. You have no idea how much of a shadow he casts on us kids of the same generation! So no one can change the path he's chosen."

Xiang Wu said, "But do you know when I saw him at his most miserable?"

"when?"

Yun Tan couldn't imagine that Lu Wangshan would ever be in such a mess.

Xiang Wu: "When you broke up for the first time."

Yuntan was stunned.

"My brother's body is as strong as iron. He has good living habits, a regular work and rest schedule, and a healthy diet. I've rarely seen him sick, except for that one time."

Xiang Wu was still in high school at that time, and was shocked to hear that Lu Wangshan was seriously ill.

The high fever wouldn't go away, and no matter how many medicines or injections he took, nothing worked. Naturally, the elderly in the family considered praying to gods and Buddhas and fortune-telling.

"The fortune teller said that this is a great calamity in my brother's destiny. If he can't overcome it, he will be free. If he can overcome it, he will be extremely rich and powerful. There is no way to overcome it. It all depends on whether he can let it go."

Xiang Wu didn't believe any of this and thought that the crappy master was talking nonsense.

But everyone in the house was crying.

Later, she accidentally heard Lu Shiyue crying and having a big tantrum with Lu Wangshan in the ward, and asked him why he couldn't let go.

After repeated questioning, Xiang Wu finally pried open Lu Shiyue's mouth and heard about Lu Wangshan and Yun Tan.

"When did that happen?" Yun Tan's voice trembled a little.

"It was the winter six years ago. My brother had a high fever right after he came back from Europe."

Yuntan felt a pain in his heart.

That was after Lu Wangshan flew to Milan to find her.

"And then?"

"I had a fever on and off for nearly a month, and developed many complications, including pneumonia and coagulation disorders. I stayed in the ICU for a long time."

Xiang Wu said, "Fortunately, the symptoms gradually subsided after a month. Everyone thought he was blessed with a long life. Brother Xiaoyue and I thought he had finally let it go."

Yuntan's eyelashes trembled slightly.

"But in fact, if you don't appear, he can't forget you. Once you appear, he can only see you, and he will repeat the same mistakes no matter what. He has never thought of letting you go."

Yun Tan suddenly remembered that not long after they met again, Lu Wangshan had held her cheek and said gently - Yun Tan, let's get married, okay?

And the diamond ring hidden in the car that had not been given away.

She looked away, letting the wind blow away the tears that were too full in her eyes, and they quickly dripped onto the grass and disappeared.

He asked her how she had been living abroad during the years they had been apart.

But Yuntan never knew how he lived during those years.

"Then our coming to this point may be a relief for him."

"Do you think that if he couldn't let it go six years ago, he can let it go now?"

Xiang Wu whispered, "Even if he hits his head against the wall a thousand times and repeats the same mistakes, he will never fall in love with someone else."

-

Lu Wangshan went abroad this time to find friends he knew to set up a disability fund and build a disability care base in Beijing.

Song Lai and Lu Wangshan were college classmates. After graduating from college, he went to the United States to study and now has settled in the United States.

Song Lai laughed when he heard his request: "You came to me for investment? Isn't that what you do?"

"It's not convenient for me to come forward."

"It's not that inconvenient. We still have to attract overseas capital." Song Lai looked at him with a scrutinizing look.

Lu Wangshan leaned back in his chair, letting him look at him generously. He only asked, "Can we talk? If not, I'll find someone else."

Song Lai laughed and said, "No, no, no, since Boss Lu has already opened his mouth, of course we can talk."

Lu Wangshan directly took out a thick project book, which included market analysis, product services, product development plan, project budget, risk assessment, benefit assessment, etc. Each column was marked very clearly.

Song Lai looked at the overly concise, clear, and extremely accurate project budget and benefit assessment and couldn't help but ask, "Did you write this project yourself?"

"Yes." Lu Wangshan took out another power of attorney agreement.

Naturally, he couldn't let his old classmate suffer a loss. This kind of investment was more of a public welfare nature, and it would be difficult to make a profit in the short and medium term. He only needed to borrow Song Lai's "shell" to operate, and the specific investment amount would still be invested by WH Group Capital.

"If you have no other questions, please take another look at this entrustment agreement. I have preliminarily drafted the rights, responsibilities and obligations of both parties. Please see if there is anything you need to add."

"There's no rush for this."

Song Lai pushed the agreement aside and said, "What I want to know now is, what medicine did you take wrong?"

Lu Wangshan raised his eyes.

"You're the only one responsible for this project from start to finish, right? It takes at least a month to finish. Who are you going through all this trouble for?" Song Lai asked tentatively, "Girl?"

"Yes, girl." Lu Wangshan answered calmly.

Song Lai gasped in shock: "Then, then, that girl is disabled?" After saying that, he felt offended and quickly added, "Sorry."

"……no."

Lu Wangshan pushed the entrustment agreement back and said, "Don't ask any more questions. Just take a look first."

Song Lai then lowered his head and read the agreement carefully.

After reading a few lines, he couldn't help but look up: "No, who on earth is this? I thought you couldn't love more than one person!"

After all, Lu Wangshan is a well-deserved child of destiny.

It is difficult for people who naturally possess most of the resources in the world to truly focus on others.

Nothing was set in stone yet, so Lu Wangshan replied in a very official manner: "I'll introduce you to each other when I have the chance."

Song Lai knew Lu Wangshan and gave him face, so he decided to sign the agreement that day. Of course, the most important thing was that the agreement contained unequal terms that tilted the benefits in his favor.

It is hard to imagine that this agreement was made by Lu Wangshan, who was the top student in GPA at that time, and it was for a girl.

He held the pen in his hand, and before putting it down, he couldn't help but ask, "You've clearly written down the benefit evaluation. The expected return will take a long time. It's very likely that you no longer like that girl. Your project is still losing money. Are you really sure?"

"Sure." Lu Wangshan said.

-

The Yundana staff dormitory is so small that Leo would have difficulty turning around.

She wanted to endure any hardship but not let her child suffer, so she simply booked a seven-day suite in a hotel near the company.

I also took advantage of the low temperature and cloudy weather to take two days of annual leave, and took Leo to have a good time in Guangdong and took many photos.

She was unable to leave work for the other few days, but she asked her boss for permission to work online and returned to the hotel on time to accompany Leo.

Yuntan felt that such days were very familiar.

It was just like when she had just returned to China, when Lu Wangshan was on a business trip and asked her to help take care of Leo.

Leo is also very well behaved. He stays in the hotel obediently when she goes to work.

Yuntan sometimes feels guilty because when Leo follows him, he can only move around alone in the small room during the day.

A new pet dry food store has opened in Guangdong. The store, which is about 100 square meters, is lined with neatly arranged shelves and various pet supplies are hung in different categories.

Yuntan took Leo shopping and let Leo choose his favorite snacks and toys.

It picked out a lot of dried meat, canned food, and teething snacks, as well as its favorite frisbee. Yuntan also took two sets of clothes, a cool top and a swimsuit.

She is now like the last day she is visiting her child after the divorce, desperately buying things for her son and bringing them back.

A week goes by quickly.

By Friday night, Yun Tan received a message from Lu Wangshan: "I'll pick up Leo tomorrow."

Yun Tan pursed her lips and said, "Okay, you pick a place and I'll take Leo there."

She sat on the carpet, lifted Leo's head and put it close to it, and whispered, "It would be great if you could use a mobile phone, so that Mommy can call you when she misses you."

The location Lu Wangshan chose was a very romantic pub by the river.

Because of her outstanding image, Yuntan was now assigned to participate in the shooting of a video for external publicity. Today happened to be the shooting day, and she wore a long suspender dress with a shallow V-neck, which wrapped around her slender waist and plump body.

It was sunset, and Yuntan was walking along the river bank with Leo, whose fur was shiny, looking so beautiful and charming.

Mottled light and shadows flow on the river surface, sparkling, and the whole city is shrouded in warm dusk, like a magnificent oil painting.

Lu Wangshan was sitting on a seat by the river. When his eyes met Yun Tan, everything around him instantly lost its color.

He tilted his head and coughed lightly.

He couldn't easily reveal his infatuation with Yuntan at this time. He had to let this ungrateful little bastard fall in love with him "first". Only in this way would she know how to cherish him.

But when he turned around again, he saw Yun Tan being blocked by a man.

"Beauty, your Doberman is so handsome."

This trick of using dogs as an excuse to chat up people is really old-fashioned. Lu Wangshan has seen it many times. Then he saw the man squat down and touch Leo's head.

Leo's mouth widened, his beard twitching, and he tried hard to suppress the urge to bare his teeth.

The man asked, "I have a German Shepherd. What brand of fish oil do you usually feed it? Its fur is so good."

Yun Tan truthfully told Lu Wangshan the brand of fish oil he was feeding his baby.

The man asked again: "Are you usually in Guangdong?"

"Um."

"Then let's add each other on WeChat." He took out his phone. "We can make an appointment to walk the dog together when we're free."

Suddenly interrupted by a voice——

"It's inconvenient, this is a Beijing dog." Lu Wangshan spoke with his angular face that was very characteristic of the north, and there was still a hint of Beijing accent in his voice.

People in Guangdong are generally not tall. Lu Wangshan lowered his eyes and looked at people with a disdainful attitude, which is very consistent with the negative stereotype of "Beijing Master" on the Internet.

The man walked away embarrassedly.

Yuntan couldn't help laughing until he sat down.

While Lu Wangshan was carrying on Leo's warm welcome ceremony after not seeing him for a week, he looked at Yun Tan and raised an eyebrow: "What are you laughing at?"

"Beijing dog, you're so lucky to say that." Yun Tan laughed again.

Lu Wangshan handed her the menu. In the relaxed atmosphere, Yun Tan didn't notice anything wrong. It was not until she finished ordering the dishes that she realized why she stayed to have dinner with Lu Wangshan.

Their relationship at the moment, having dinner together, seemed out of place.

Then she remembered again what Xiang Wu said to her that night.

——I had intermittent fever for nearly a month, and developed many complications, including pneumonia and coagulation dysfunction. I stayed in the ICU for a long time.

It is hard to imagine that Lu Wangshan has ever experienced such a moment.

Yuntan cast his gaze gently on him while drinking water.

He was wearing a black shirt, which showed off his muscles perfectly as he leaned on the chair. He had a broad chest and back, strong upper arms, and a thin waist pinched by the belt. His hair was short and neat, revealing a smooth forehead and sharp eyebrows. His sunglasses were casually pushed to the top of his head, and his hair was a little messy in the evening breeze.

The whole person is lazy and unrestrained, reflecting the dim sunset, with the rough feeling of rolling yellow sand in the desert in the hot summer.

Some inappropriate images unconsciously emerged in Yuntan's mind.

For example, the hot sweat that rolled down his forehead and dripped from his chin onto her chest, the veins on his arms that bulged when he held her neck, his low and hoarse breathing, and his high nose that was deeply embedded in the core of her flower.

Ahhhh!

How could she think about this at this time!

Yuntan despised himself deeply, thinking that he was a lustful pervert!

"Why is your face so red?"

After Lu Wangshan asked the question, he saw Yun Tan raise his eyes in fright, like a kitten caught doing something bad.

"It's hot." She fanned her cheeks in panic.

"Then go indoors?"

"It's okay." Yun Tan looked away awkwardly, "It will be fine after some fresh air."

A stable relationship between parents does contribute to the physical and mental health of their children.

Leo lay obediently at my feet, sticking out his tongue and enjoying the evening breeze, his tail wagging slowly without stopping.

This time, their meeting was not filled with arguments and bickering like last time. The topics mostly revolved around Leo, and they occasionally talked about Xiang Wu and Lu Shiyue. It was always calm.

"By the way," Lu Wangshan said, "our high school's 50th anniversary is coming up soon. Are you going back?"

Yun Tan was stunned for a moment. Sometimes she really forgot that Lu Wangshan was a senior four years older than her.

"I won't go."

Going back to Beijing was too much trouble. Yun Tan didn't keep in touch with his high school classmates much, and he didn't want to go back to Beijing and have anything to do with that family. "Are you going?"

Lu Wangshan nodded and took a sip of his iced drink: "Go and make a speech."

"Outstanding graduate representative?"

"Um."

Yun Tan laughed and said teasingly, "Director Lu is different."

Lu Wangshan sneered.

They didn't talk for long because Lu Wangshan needed to catch a flight back to Beijing tonight and there was a board meeting tomorrow morning, so they parted ways.

Yuntan was in an inexplicably good mood. He hummed a song while holding a cup of iced lemon tea as he returned to the staff dormitory where he hadn't lived for a week.

She looked through the photos of Leo in the album these days, and shared the photos in the group with the mentality of a "baby mom".

Elara was the first to ask in surprise, "You and the Chinese captain got back together!?"

Yuntan: "No, he's on a business trip and I'm just helping take care of Leo."

Elara: "Ohhhhhh such a familiar reason, it seems like déjà vu!"

Yun Tan: “…”

Elara: "Just a man and a woman, there's no spark of passion?"

Her Chinese is getting better and better, and she can use idioms one after another.

Yun Tan replied seriously, "No, don't talk nonsense."

Elara couldn't remain serious for a second: "Ah...but I'm really a little greedy for men!"

She has been single for a month and a half since breaking up with her new boyfriend not long ago, and she hasn't even had a hot date. She is almost experiencing hormone and endocrine disorders.

Elara: "Xiao Tan, you've been apart for so long, are you really not greedy at all?"

greedy.

She is so greedy.

Yun Tan's mind flashed back to Lu Wangshan tonight. He was really fascinating and touched every aesthetic point of hers.

But she internally despised her own behavior, so she replied, "Not greedy."

Elara: "Are your Chinese women's body structures different from mine?"

Elara: "But there is a female light that I must recommend to you!"

Yuntan clicked on the new picture sent by Elara. It was a baby blue thing that looked like a dolphin, with a small hole on one end.

Although Yuntan had never tried this kind of thing, he still knew what it was.

She smiled and asked, "Have you been having such a hard time lately?"

Elara replied, wailing, "Yeah."

She is a freelancer who usually takes on product photography jobs for all kinds of products. The most recent one she took on was a new product for a women's toy brand, which was a gift from a friend of the brand.

Elara: "It's a great handy item for insomniacs. I'll mail you one!"

“…”

Yuntan drank the last sip of the Chinese medicine and did not refuse.

-

Lu Wangshan's grandparents died early, so every year after the Mid-Autumn Festival he had to accompany Xiang Yin to the temple to burn incense.

The Xiang family was all there, and Xiang Wu, who rarely dressed properly, wore plain clothes and stood behind her father holding incense, with her brows lowered and her eyes submissive, looking submissive.

Lu Wangshan and Lu Shiyue stood behind Xiang Yin and Lu Chengjun, offering incense and bowing one by one as the abbot instructed.

The elders still had subsequent customary procedures to complete, so they asked the younger generations to wait under the eaves outside the door.

Xiang Wu took off the silk scarf tied around her bag and used it as a cushion on the stone bench before sitting down. Without the restraints of the abbot's rules, she indulged herself again. She pounded her back and sighed, "My back aches from standing for hours listening to sutras and chanting mantras so early in the morning."

Lu Shiyue glanced at his watch and said honestly, "Less than an hour."

The next second, Xiang Wu glared at him: "Brother, you are so straightforward, how did you find a girlfriend?"

The affair between Lu Shiyue and Ruan Zhao spread after it was exposed by Lu Wangshan.

Lu Shiyue himself didn't care, he wished everyone knew.

But Ruan Zhao was a little distressed. She was two years older than Lu Shiyue. As soon as her family heard about this, they started urging her to get married again. She didn't know how many times she had cursed Lu Wangshan behind his back.

At this moment, when Ruan Zhao was mentioned, Lu Shiyue had a strange expression, which was caught by Xiang Wu: "What's wrong? Did you have a fight with your girlfriend?"

"No."

"Tell me, I'll give you some advice. I know a girl's mind very well."

Lu Shiyue looked at her for a while and finally confessed.

All his arguments with Ruan Zhao were inevitably due to his jealousy. Ruan Zhao's job allowed her to come into contact with handsome men, and she had the typical carefree personality of a Beijing girl.

He was unhappy, but after the season ended he became more attached to her, which made him jealous, and Ruan Zhao called him childish.

Xiang Wu really analyzed the situation with him in a serious manner, acting like she was very professional, even though she had only had a few serious relationships.

Lu Shiyue also sat down and listened carefully.

When she talked about the things she was not convinced of, her eyes were red. She felt wronged because she just liked her. How could she be considered childish?

Lu Wangshan stood aside, looking at the two of them with amusement.

He had no intention of answering his brother's questions and was still mocking him as a fool in his heart. When he really listened to Xiang Wu's nonsense, he couldn't help but sneered, and was immediately glared at by Xiang Wu again.

"You seem to be in a good mood recently?" Xiang Wu asked.

Lu Wangshan shrugged and didn't answer.

It’s not bad. The previously planned project for people with disabilities is progressing smoothly, and Yuan Qinrong has also been included.

The foreign company where Song Lai works is very famous, so such a rare project landing in Beijing naturally attracted Yuan Qinrong's attention.

Seeing that previous plans were unlikely to succeed, Yuan Qinrong paid special attention to this project. She took the initiative to ask someone to introduce her to Song Lai and invested a large sum of money in its construction. In return, Yuan Hongren would receive the best unlimited service at the maintenance base, even decades after Yuan Qinrong's death.

Although I definitely can't be taken care of as well as my relatives, at least having the support of such a large foundation is always a place to rest.

"What's going on? Have you and Xiao Tan made any progress?" Xiang Wu asked again.

Lu Wangshan still didn't answer, but shifted his focus and looked at Lu Shiyue: "If you continue to listen to her nonsense, don't cry when Ruan Zhao wants to break up with you."

Lu Shiyue immediately stood up, stood beside Lu Wangshan, and severed ties with Xiang Wu.

Xiang Wu was so angry that he wanted to jump up and hit someone: "Brother! You believe him but not me! I'm telling you, I've dated so many men that I can't even count them on one hand, and your brother has only had one relationship, and he dated someone who was thousands of miles away!"

The noisy sound was a bit abrupt in the quiet temple, startling the birds on the branches above.

Fortunately, the Xiang family comes to burn incense and pray on this day every year, and the temple is closed for the day, with no outsiders allowed.

Xiang's father suddenly pushed the door open and came out, frowning and scolding her for being rude. She said she dared to make such a noise in the temple and would disperse all the blessings.

Xiang Wu patted her lips to indicate her mistake, then obediently hugged her father's arm and said coquettishly, "How can my blessing be so easily dissipated? As long as you are here, I am the luckiest person in the world!"

Father Xiang, however, was rarely amused by her. He still frowned and tapped her forehead: "If you keep acting like this every day, no one will dare to marry you in the future!"

Xiang Wu snorted, "I'm not willing to get married yet!"

Father Xiang wanted to say more, but Xiang Wu stopped him as soon as he opened his mouth: "Old man, I'm going to get annoyed if you say more!"

He is truly lawless, arrogant and spoiled.

However, Lu Wangshan sensed something was wrong. Although his uncle disciplined Xiang Wu from time to time, he never worried about her future marriage. In Xiang's father's view, it was also good for Xiang Wu to stay single and stay with her parents for the rest of her life.

Only after getting in the car did Lu Wangshan ask about this matter.

Xiang Yin said that he had asked the abbot to interpret his fortune when he was praying for the younger generations, and he found out that Xiang Wu's marriage line might not be so smooth.

Lu Wangshan said, "Don't believe this too much."

"You can't just believe it. A few years ago, a master even said you were facing a major calamity, but you recovered afterward." Xiang Yin said, "Your uncle understands, but he only has one daughter, and he's always worried that Wuwu might face misfortune in the future."

The group returned to the old house together.

Xiang Yin now treats Leo more and more like his grandson. On the way back, he even queued up to buy a bakery that Leo particularly likes.

Lu Wangshan still had group work to deal with in the afternoon, so he drove away alone.

It's just that the accident came so suddenly.

Suddenly, a truck coming down the expressway lost control. With a loud bang, the Cullinan was hit and quickly rushed onto the flower bed under the overpass. The front of the car hit a stone pillar, and the engine emitted terrible billowing white smoke.

Xiang Yin's mind went blank when he received the call.

But inexplicably, the hexagram that the abbot had just interpreted echoed in my ears - the hexagram showed that your son's fortune would be prosperous, but he would have a difficult love relationship. Whether it was a good relationship or an evil relationship, a blessing or a curse, all depended on one thought.

-

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the high temperature of 40 degrees in Guangdong finally passed, but it was still extremely hot and stuffy.

Yuntan went downstairs to buy coffee across from the company and brought some back for his colleagues.

While sharing coffee, Yuntan heard them gathered in a group discussing some news. He listened to them word by word. It seemed that there had been a serious car accident somewhere.

"I just saw Mr. Liang leave in a hurry. I wonder if he went to Beijing to visit."

"The photos of the scene are so scary, I wonder if anyone will die!"

"That's why they say life is unpredictable. Mr. Lu is still so young, not even 30 years old."

Yun Tan paused and looked up: "Who did you just say...?"

"Director Lu, he's the second largest shareholder in our company."

Yun Tan's ears suddenly rang, and amidst the roaring sound, she heard herself asking in a trembling voice, "What happened to him?"

The colleague turned the computer screen around and showed it to her.

The media has quickly reported this news, and the specific photos have been quickly blocked by the Lu family, leaving only the Cullinan with its front end smashed.

Yun Tan recognized the license plate as Lu Wangshan’s car.

Her eyelashes trembled rapidly, and she stood there for more than ten seconds, then suddenly turned around and ran out quickly.
