Before hanging up, Lu Jianming gave her another piece of advice, "Li Anran, I hope that after the engagement, you can keep a close eye on your fiancé."
“If you can’t even do this basic thing, I’ll have to reassess your usefulness and see if we need to replace you as the young mistress of the Lu family.”
After hanging up the phone, Li Anran was restless.
What did Lu Jianming mean by that? He wanted someone else to be the young mistress of the Lu family.
Could it be that his alternative is Jian Ruoxi?
"Don't even dream about it!" Li Anran grabbed the vase on the table and smashed it on the ground, scattering shards everywhere.
Lu Jin was overjoyed to see Li Anran's furious expression as soon as he entered.
"Oh my, you actually dared to break things on your big day. That's bad luck."
She can't keep up the act anymore, can she? It's time to let Grandma see her true colors.
"Grandma sent me to tell you that my brother has just entered the Lu family's gate and will be in the hall soon. Get ready."
Before leaving, Lu Jin glanced at the broken vase on the ground out of the corner of his eye.
"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, the vase you just broke was a birthday present from Miss Emily."
“This is an antique she specially found. You haven’t officially married into the Lu family yet, so if you break something, you’ll have to pay for it.”
Moreover, she has already been very kind and considerate, only asking her to pay compensation.
If Emily found out that someone had broken something she gave her, she'd probably fly over herself to teach Li Anran a lesson.
Li Anran remained silent, her face still showing a gentle and innocent demeanor, but her hands had involuntarily clenched into fists.
Her hatred for Lu Jin had reached its peak.
"Lu Jin, even you dare to look down on me. Anyone who sides with Jian Ruoxi, I will not let you get away with it."
"Just you wait and see."
When the music in the lobby started playing again, Li Anran knew that Lu Shen had returned.
She looked in the mirror, regaining the appearance Lu Shen remembered, and walked towards the front hall with a smile.
She was hoping that Lu Shen would reach out his hand to her and greet her with a look that held deep affection.
Tell her that you are late.
But there was nothing there.
The old lady checked her grandson from head to toe, "Shen, why are you only coming back now? Did something happen on the way?"
"Why didn't you send someone a message? Do you know how worried Grandma was?"
Lu Shen comforted the old lady, "There were indeed too many things to do today, which kept me busy and made Grandma worry."
"Grandma has had a long day, go home and rest. I'll take care of things here."
After saying that, Lu Shen winked at Lu Jin, who was waiting to see the show, "Hurry up and take Grandma back."
"Okay." Lu Jin pouted and reluctantly pushed the old lady inside.
The old lady was still thinking about the engagement ceremony.
"Shen, there's also the engagement ceremony, don't forget."
Lu Jin couldn't help but laugh out loud from behind, "Don't worry, Grandma, my brother knows what he's doing and knows what to do."
From the moment Lu Shen appeared until now, he has not made eye contact with Li Anran at all, nor has he uttered a single word to her.
Li Anran's gaze gradually dimmed. Sure enough, he was no longer the Ah Shen who had loved me wholeheartedly before.
Lu Shen turned to the guests and said, "Thank you all for waiting for me today."
"As you all have seen, Miss Li is now half of the Lu family."
"It's getting late, I'll send someone to take you all there."
Is that all? Young Master Lu has only been here for less than three minutes.
The engagement ceremony, which they had waited all day for, ended abruptly with just a few words. They certainly learned something new.
Lu Shen's words clearly implied that he wanted the guests to leave, so the guests naturally dared not stay any longer.
Li Anran's father finally realized that such a hasty engagement ceremony was a slap in the face to the Li family.
Mr. Li pulled the guests aside, wanting them to wait a while before leaving, at least until he had finished asking Young Master Lu.
"Everyone, don't rush off, the engagement ceremony hasn't officially started yet."
One of the bosses grabbed Mr. Li and rushed him out.
"Alright, you really think of yourself as Young Master Lu's father-in-law? He already said the engagement ceremony is over, how dare you go against him?"
"Be careful, he might just say the engagement is null and void, and then you won't even have a title anymore."
The more Mr. Li thought about it, the more he realized that this made sense, and he immediately walked out of the Lu family's gate with everyone else.
As for his daughter still standing inside, he couldn't care less; she was just an illegitimate child.
The fact that their daughter was engaged to the Lu family was already considered a stroke of good fortune for the Li family. What would become of their daughter in the Lu family in the future was no longer his concern.
The guests left quickly, and in an instant, the hall was completely empty.
It was as if there had never been so many people today, nor had any ceremony been held.
Li Anran forced a smile, took Lu Shen's hand, and asked, "Ah Shen, where did you go today?"
"It's nothing. You must be tired today. Go upstairs and get some rest."
He has fulfilled his promise to Li Anran, becoming the young mistress of the Lu family. Grandma and Li Anran have achieved their wishes, and Ruoxi has returned to her career with admirers around her.
Everything seemed to be back on track, and everyone was happy.
But he just couldn't be happy.
"Okay, then don't overwork yourself." After giving these instructions, Li Anran returned to her room.
Anger and humiliation enveloped her, making it hard for her to breathe.
She could see it clearly: Lu Shen had arrived so late, without the slightest remorse or apology, and there was no longer any love in his eyes when he looked at her.
Lu Shen made her a laughing stock among all the wealthy families.
She could easily guess what those wealthy families would say about her behind her back tomorrow.
"Lu Shen, you're really heartless. You won't even pretend for a second."
When Jian Ruoxi returned home that evening, she was completely exhausted.
This was her first time on a variety show, and unexpectedly, recording a variety show was even more tiring than staying on the film set.
She needs to rest for a couple of days. Even if Ran Jie arranges another event for her, she won't go.
Feeling incredibly bored before bed, Jian Ruoxi turned on her phone, and Lu Shen's engagement was still firmly at the top of the headlines.
"Lu Shao and Li Anran officially concluded their engagement ceremony just an hour ago."
What puzzled her was why Lu Shen's engagement had just ended; wasn't it supposed to be held at noon?
"Could something have happened in between?"
Jian Ruoxi unconsciously began to worry about Lu Shen's safety.
His name, Gangyi, popped into her mind, and Jian Ruoxi quickly patted her forehead.
"Stop, he already has a fiancée, you can't think about him anymore." Even Jian Ruoxi herself didn't realize that her words contained a lot of jealousy.
"Get engaged whenever you want, it's none of my business. Go to sleep!"
