“Wanwan, the outside world is definitely not as good as home. Father and daughter have never had anything to worry about. Listen to my advice and come home. Your father misses you. You're all grown up now, so don't be so stubborn. Your father has his own difficulties. You should try to understand him. He's had a tough time all these years.”
Xia Wan held her phone without saying a word, but her nose felt increasingly sore.
The phone rang with Lu Yu's rambling voice, pausing after each sentence, sounding like he was drunk.
"Uncle, have you been drinking?"
"I did drink, but I'm not drunk." Xia Wan's interruption almost made him forget his business. "Wanwan, I'm hosting a party tomorrow at the Lu's Hotel. Come over tonight."
"A party? What kind of party?" Rich people have all sorts of parties, and the people who go are just trying to outdo each other and gain some prestige.
Lu Yu said, "It's Lu Yan's birthday party."
"I'm not going!" Xia Wan felt disgusted at the thought of Lu Yan, filled with resentment and jealousy. She hated Lu Yan too much to even think about attending her birthday party. Was she going to go to the party to see Lu Yan gloating?
“Your dad will be here too. I’ve chosen a man for Lu Yan. I’ll pack her up and send her out tonight.”
Xia Wan was taken aback at first: "Who did you choose for her?"
"The big boss of Yi'an Group, Lu Yan is incredibly lucky to be with him..."
What if she disagrees?
As expected of father and daughter, they considered the same issues. Lu Yu, having drunk too much, drunkenly told Xia Wan his entire plan.
"...Then I'll drug her drink, put her in the room, and make it a fait accompli. She'll have no choice but to comply."
Xia Wan was shocked that Lu Yu would do such a thing. Her nerves tightened, and she murmured, "Won't something bad happen?"
“What could possibly happen at our own hotel? Lu Yan has never been a good woman. Didn’t you say you saw her going into the hotel with a man? She can even seduce Zhuang Yan, so no one would doubt that she seduced the big boss.”
Mentioning Lu Yan and Zhuang Yan made Lu Yu grit his teeth in hatred, and he couldn't wait to take revenge. Once he won over the Yi'an Group, the first person he would deal with was Zhuang Yan, making it impossible for him to stay in Rongcheng.
"Don't you want to see such a wonderful show with your own eyes? Don't you hate Lu Yan the most? Now your uncle will help you get revenge on her."
Xia Wan was somewhat tempted: "The night after tomorrow?"
"Yes." Lu Yu continued on the phone, "Your father will be coming too. I'll try to persuade him then."
"Uncle, can I bring Gu Qian along?"
Lu Yu, having drunk too much, slurred his agreement. After hanging up, Xia Wan gripped her phone tightly.
She was only absent from the engagement party, and Zhuang Yan was already going to break off the engagement with her. If he saw Lu Yan sleeping with another man, would he still like her?
Some men say they don't care about a woman's virginity, but subconsciously they still feel that losing their virginity is a shameful thing.
Unable to contain her malice, Xia Wan's face darkened, her expression somewhat distorted.
She didn't think she had done anything wrong. After all, she wasn't the one who drugged Lu Yan, nor was she the one who arranged the man for her. Besides, Lu Yan was a promiscuous woman. She was good at pretending in front of Zhuang Yan, and Zhuang Yan was deceived by her.
She simply wanted Zhuang Yan to see Lu Yan's true colors; she was helping him cut his losses in time, and she did nothing wrong! Once Zhuang Yan discovers what kind of woman Lu Yan is, he might even thank her.
Xia Wan gradually succeeded in brainwashing herself, and her inner struggles lessened.
The fewer people who know about this, the better. After returning, Xia Wan told Gu to attend the party at Lu's Hotel the day before yesterday.
Gu Qian agreed without a second thought, thinking that Xia Wan and Xia Qingshan had made good progress. He didn't want to stay in this shabby rental house for another day. He ate takeout every day he was away. In order to leave a good impression on Xia Wan, he didn't dare to order expensive takeout. He was so sick of it that he felt like he was emanating a cheap takeout smell.
...
Zhuang Yan was standing right next to Lu Yu when Lu Yu called Lu Yan.
Lu Yan readily agreed and promised that she would arrive on time.
Zhuang Yan knew immediately that Lu Yu had ulterior motives: "Your birthday was so long ago, and you're only now thinking of celebrating it for you? Isn't that a bit too late?"
It was clearly a trap, and Zhuang Yan was really worried.
Lu Yan squeezed his hand: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Lu Yan had her own plans, and Zhuang Yan chose to respect them, but he was worried about letting her attend the party alone.
"I'll go with you tomorrow night."
"If you come with me, they won't even let you in the gate. How about this, you go to my hotel room early tomorrow and wait for me. I'll come find you after I've finished my business."
These words were somewhat ambiguous. Lu Yan found a room key and handed it to him: "This is the room key."
Lu Yan had even prepared the room key, clearly having anticipated this. Zhuang Yan reached out and took the room key: "What's your plan?"
Lu Yan said calmly, "I have no plans. I won't offend others unless they offend me. I'm very easy to get along with."
Zhuang Yan's gaze deepened slightly: "Take care of yourself."
Lu Yan chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I wouldn't want you to feel sorry for me."
On the day of the party, Zhuang Yan glanced at the luxury cars parked at the hotel. Lu Yu had put in a lot of effort to make up for Lu Yan's birthday party.
You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub; the more you give, the more you want to get.
When Zhuang Yan entered the hotel, there weren't many people yet. People started coming in around 5 p.m. The entire second floor was prepared for this banquet. Zhuang Yan stood in the corridor and glanced around, noticing that most of the people in the room were men.
Lu Yu walked back and forth in the crowd. Zhuang Yan saw many familiar faces. Xia Qingshan arrived, and soon after, Xia Wan arrived with Gu Qian.
Encouraged by Lu Yu, Xia Wan approached Xia Qingshan and said something. Xia Qingshan glanced at Gu Qian, his expression restrained, perhaps considering that with so many people around, losing his temper would only make him lose face. In the end, Gu Qian and Xia Wan stood behind Xia Qingshan with their heads down, looking as if they dared not make a mistake.
Seemingly noticing his gaze, Xia Wan suddenly looked up and glanced in his direction. Not far away, Xia Wan saw him.
Zhuang Yan frowned, then turned and left. He thought Xia Wan would arrange for someone to kick him out, but he waited for a long time without any news.
Seeing that nothing had happened, he moved to another spot to continue watching.
At eight o'clock, Lu Yan slowly made her appearance. As soon as she appeared, she became the focus of the evening. No one could deny that she was stunningly beautiful, not only in appearance, but also in her confidence and charisma from the inside out. Every move she made was full of charm.
Lu Yu walked up to her, lowered his head and said something to her. Lu Yan's expression did not change. She nodded and followed him to a corner.
