Lu Yunxi is not afraid of death, but is afraid of losing everything she has now, and is even more afraid of being looked down upon.
If the engagement is cancelled, she will become the laughing stock of Jiangcheng. How can she face people in the future? She was once the fiancée of Mr. Pei. Who among the rich and powerful will dare to marry her in the future?
Isn't this going to ruin her life?
Lu Yunxi then realized that she was scared and quickly apologized to the old man, but it was too late.
The old man wouldn't have cared about such trivial matters, but Tang Jingyuan had brought her here specifically today, wanting him to cancel the engagement himself. As a result, Pei Wenbin and his wife didn't dare to object. For someone who had been personally rejected by Old Man Pei, it would be almost impossible for them to live a comfortable life by marrying into a wealthy family.
"Grandpa, I know I was wrong. I will definitely behave myself in the future and never bring shame to the Pei family. Please, give me another chance. If I cancel the engagement and the news gets out, how will I get married in the future?"
"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place. I'm tired, Third Brother, take me back."
The old man didn't listen to Lu Yunxi's explanation, and she went to please Pei Wenbin and his wife. When Shen Yizi thought that she was so cruel and dared to kill someone, she hurriedly pulled Pei Wenbin to the door before she could get close to her, and did not forget to call her son.
"Cheng Yi, why are you still standing there? It's so late, go back and get some rest. Go to the Lu family tomorrow and explain everything clearly. In the future, grandpa will help you choose a better one."
Pei Chengyi came back to his senses, looked at Lu Yunxi again, but in the end he said nothing and followed her.
Lu Yunxi held Pei Chengyi's hand tightly: "Chengyi, you can't do this. We have been together for so long, I know you love me, you can't abandon me."
Pei Chengyi sighed softly and forcibly pulled his hand away: "Yunxi, I am helpless too. As a member of the Pei family, marriage is not something I can decide on my own. If you are willing, we can still be friends in the future."
Everyone stood on the same front and decisively abandoned Lu Yunxi. She was about to collapse.
Lu Anning watched Lu Yunxi being abandoned quietly, and found it ridiculous for a moment. Lu Yunxi was cruel and stupid.
After being pushed away by Pei Chengyi, Lu Yunxi turned around and glared at Lu Anning angrily.
"Are you happy now? Lu Anning, you've ruined my life. The engagement is cancelled, what should I do in the future? You just want to see me suffer a fate worse than death, so I'll kill you."
She rushed towards Lu An Ning like a madman, but before she could get close, she was slapped twice by Lu An Ning. Lu Yunxi wanted to fight back, but Lu An Ning held her wrist tightly, making her unable to move.
"Lu Anning, as long as I'm alive, I will never let you have an easy life. You're the one who ruined me!"
Lu Anning sneered and looked at her with disdain: "Lu Yunxi, who told you that women are born with only one life path, which is to get married? How foolish!"
"Since ancient times, women have always been expected to marry and have children after reaching adulthood. No matter how capable you are, you still have to return to your family and raise children. It's easy for you to say you're marrying into a wealthy family."
"A woman can get married, but that's not her only path to success. I'm not interested in fighting you forever. If you're smart enough, you should wake up. Why don't you put so much thought into your career and focus on making Lu Corporation even better? Aren't you dissatisfied? Go back and start over, keep your feet on the ground, and I'll wait for the day when you surpass me."
"You know everything, so of course you're not afraid."
Lu Yunxi wanted to achieve something in her career, so that everyone would look up to her and stop looking down on her for having been raised outside and having no talent. She had tried, but it was too difficult. She didn't understand business at all.
"Learning business is difficult, but calculating against me is not difficult? I wasn't born knowing everything. You only see that I can do everything. Have you ever thought about how much effort I have put into the Lu family over the years? If you don't know, you can go back and ask the Lu family. I have said all I can to you. What path you choose in the future is entirely up to you."
Lu Anning waved her hand, and Lin Tao and his men carried the still dazed Lu Yunxi out. She was exhausted after such a long night.
Lu Yunxi's thoughts have always been influenced by the people around her. After returning to the Lu family, she was indoctrinated by Lu Zhenghao and Du Man, and she felt that only by marrying into a wealthy family could she live a better life. In fact, Lu Zhenghao just exchanged his daughter to satisfy his own desires.
At the beginning, she and Tang Jingyuan's flash marriage was purely out of necessity, in order to resolve the crisis at that time. If there were other options at that time, she would not have married, but her life was not just about marriage.
Lu Anning came to her senses and realized that Tang Jingyuan had been watching her. In the dark night, his eyes flashed with a deep light. It seemed that he was thinking about something.
Lu Anning thought something was wrong with him and looked down.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Tang Jingyuan curled his lips and walked towards her: "I just realized that this is what you think."
Lu Anning frowned, then realized what he was referring to and smiled.
"That's what I've always thought."
Lu Anning had no evidence to prove that Lu Yunxi was directly involved in this incident. The instigator this time was indeed Ye Lingfei. She just wanted to warn Lu Yunxi. If she could wake up, it would not be in vain for all her efforts.
She stared at herself every day, simply because she felt that she had married better than her. If she wanted to solve this problem completely, she had to let Lu Yunxi jump out of the circle of marriage and look at her life in a new way.
Tang Jingyuan remembered something and asked curiously, "What secret did Lu Yunxi reveal?"
When this was mentioned, Lu Anning frowned: "Guess!"
Tang Jingyuan thought thoughtfully: "Could it be related to your biological parents?"
Lu An Ning snorted softly: "Tomorrow I'll go to the Lu family and ask my adoptive father in person to find out whether it's true or not."
