"If she's not feeling well, come with me to H Continent. I can arrange the best doctors for her and guarantee she'll recover. You think you can keep her in a small, run-down courtyard house?"

Gu Jingkun looked at the butler and spoke arrogantly, as if that small courtyard house was nothing in his eyes.

If Wen Lu wanted, he could give her a large estate; he had never cared about the Wen family's meager possessions.

This time, neither Wen Lu nor the butler paid any attention to Gu Jingkun. The butler took out a card from his backpack. "Miss, this is the bank deposit card left by the old man. You just need to bring your ID to the bank to withdraw the things the old man left for you."

After saying that, the butler glanced at the time and stood up. "Miss, it's getting late, so I'll head back now. Please feel free to call me if you need anything."

Wen Lu looked at the butler and was momentarily confused. She couldn't figure out who the butler was, nor did she understand what role he played in the Wen family.

She thought for a moment before speaking in a calm tone.

"Okay, drive carefully. Also, next time we meet, don't call me Miss anymore. Just call me Lulu. I'm no longer the eldest daughter of the Wen family, and I have no connection with the Wen family anymore."

"Okay, then next time I see you, I'll call you Miss Lulu. Miss Lulu, please have your meal first, I'll be going now."

After finishing speaking, the butler gracefully left the small restaurant. Wen Lu watched the butler's departing figure and pondered for a few minutes. This butler seemed to be a mystery.

He can be very obedient to Wen Zhengnan, but he can also go against Wen Zhengnan's wishes. His style of doing things is completely unpredictable, and it is impossible to understand what his purpose is.

Watching the housekeeper drive away, Wen Lu looked away, picked up the spoon beside her, and lowered her head to continue eating.

However, before her spoon could even touch the fried rice, Gu Jingkun snatched it away.

"The food's all cold, what's the point of eating? Come with me now, I'll take you to a hotel to eat."

As he spoke, Gu Jingkun stood up, grabbed Wen Lu's arm, and tried to take her away.

However, Wen Lu remained calmly seated, simply looking up at Gu Jingkun.

“Mr. Gu, we’ve only met once, there’s no need to pretend we’re very familiar.”

After saying that, Wen Lu pulled her hand back from Gu Jingkun's and continued eating the now-cold fried rice with her head down.

Looking at Wen Lu's stubborn and unyielding attitude, Gu Jingkun sighed helplessly and sat back down next to Wen Lu.

"What will it take for you to leave with me?"

At this point, Gu Jingkun had already compromised; he would agree to any condition as long as Wen Lu could leave with him.

He was thrilled to see Wen Lu successfully escape from the Wen family; he felt he could finally abduct Wen Lu.

Listening to Gu Jingkun's nonsensical words, Wen Lu suddenly laughed. She wondered if there was something wrong with Gu Jingkun's brain, why he had to keep bothering her.

"Don't you have anything better to do? Do you want me to cause some trouble for your G Group to keep you busy? Why are you always bothering me? Is there anything special about me to you?"

Wen Lu completely lost her appetite this time. She put down her chopsticks, turned her head to look at Gu Jingkun, her bright black eyes full of confusion.

When Wen Lu asked Gu Jingkun this question, he was also stunned. He didn't know why he seemed to be in a state of madness ever since he met Wen Lu.

He thinks about Wen Lu every day, and is constantly in a cycle of investigating and searching for her.

Today is even more unbelievable; I actually came to a place like this for her sake.

However, Gu Jingkun could not admit his madness, much less admit it in front of Wen Lu.

"I'm just curious about you. I want to know who you are and why the results of my investigation are different from what I found. Wen Lu, if you can tell me now, I'll leave immediately and I will never bother you again!"

Yes, that's how Gu Jingkun comforted himself. He felt that he did it simply out of curiosity. He just wanted to know how Wen Lu managed to hide her whereabouts and keep it from everyone.

Looking at Gu Jingkun's serious expression, Wen Lu thought he was really bored. She secretly vowed to herself that when she got back, she would definitely cause Gu Jingkun some trouble, so that he wouldn't have nothing to do all day and would keep chasing after her to study some nonsense.

Just as the two were looking at each other, Wen Lu's phone rang. It was Grandma Xiao calling. She picked up the phone, stood up, and walked out of the restaurant.

Once outside the restaurant, Wen Lu answered the phone with Grandma Xiao, whose kind voice came through the line.

"Lulu, what are you doing? If you're free, would you like to come over for dinner tonight? Your second uncle had someone send over a salmon, it looks quite fresh, I remember you like it."

Wen Lu smiled serenely as she listened to Old Madam Xiao's familiar words, but she still resolutely refused.

She really didn't want to have too much contact with the Xiao family, lest Xiao Ran misunderstand that she still had any improper thoughts about him.

"Grandma, I won't go. I'm quite busy lately. I'll visit you when I have time."

After saying that, Wen Lu hung up the phone. She was used to being alone and wasn't used to dealing with these elderly people, especially those who were friendly to her. She was worried that she would lose her way.

Seeing that Wen Lu had hung up the phone, Gu Jingkun quickly walked to Wen Lu's side and spoke to her again.

By this time, he had come up with a good reason, and he felt that Wen Lu would definitely leave with him.

“Wen Lu, I am sincerely inviting you to come back to H Continent with me. I know you are not in good health. I can help you find the world’s top doctors to treat you. Have you heard of the Ghost Hand? With the Ghost Hand, your illness can definitely be cured.”

Just as Wen Lu was on the phone, Gu Jingkun had already called Liang Ze, instructing him to find the whereabouts of Ghost Hand and, once found, to bring Ghost Hand over at all costs to cure Wen Lu's illness.

When Gu Jingkun mentioned the Ghost Hand, Wen Lu almost burst out laughing. She looked at Gu Jingkun and spoke very seriously.

"Ghost Hand is human, not a celestial being or a turtle in a wishing well. She can't bring someone back to life just because you want her to heal them! If Ghost Hand were really that powerful, there wouldn't be so many people without a cure!"

"And why do you insist on taking me back? What research value do I have for you, or what use am I to you?"

Wen Lu looked at Gu Jingkun with utter incomprehension. She was waiting for his answer; being pestered by someone for no reason was really annoying.
