◎Truth or Dare.◎
When Ren Lu was woken up in the morning, she was still in a daze. Even when she went to the bathroom to brush her teeth, she closed her eyes. She looked very listless.
The man was standing next to her shaving. Seeing her series of actions, he couldn't help but snap his fingers in her ears and reminded her, "Wake up, Mrs. Lu, you are wrong."
"What went wrong?" she asked, still confused.
Before he could answer, Ren Lu had already reacted. She rubbed the facial cleanser on her face in circles, but no foam was produced. Instead, it felt very dry, and there was a cool touch on her cheeks. It was obvious that something was wrong.
"Ah, fuck, this is toothpaste!" she yelled angrily.
She used toothpaste as facial cleanser, and obviously squeezed it wrongly due to absent-mindedness. She quickly washed it off with clean water, but the cool feeling still remained.
At this moment she was completely sober and a little annoyed.
"Mrs. Lu, this is what you call a punishment for showing off. Don't be stubborn in bed next time. I'll be sad if your pretty face is ruined." He pinched her chin and asked her to turn her face towards him. After a careful inspection, he found that the woman's cheeks were now rosy and he couldn't help but blow at her.
Suddenly, the cool feeling on Ren Lu's face became even stronger, and she was so angry that she opened her mouth to spit at him.
"Pooh."
But before she could spit out the second mouthful, the man pinched her cheeks on both sides, squeezing her mouth into a chicken's mouth that could not be closed at all.
Seeing her being pinched into strange shapes, Lu Sinian couldn't help laughing out loud, and he was obviously in a good mood.
Ren Lu was about to take action and hit his handsome face, but now she saw his well-defined face, she became more and more annoyed.
Lu Sinian immediately let go and took two steps back, moving away from her attack range.
"It's almost time, Mrs. Lu, don't be late." After saying this, he turned and left the bathroom.
Ren Lu curled her lips, looked in the mirror, and found her red cheeks. She suddenly became anxious again. She must not be allergic.
When the couple went downstairs, the living room was already filled with gifts and all the Lu family members had arrived.
The servants began to pack the gifts into boxes and boarded the car in batches.
Ren Lu looked at the row of luxury cars parked outside the door and was no longer surprised.
Thinking back to when she first came to work as Lu Sinian's secretary, every time she saw this kind of scene, she cursed in her heart what a evil person this was.
But now that she is one of the people who enjoys it, she can no longer be scolded.
She and Lu Sinian got on the front car, and the convoy drove out of the Lu family's old house in a mighty manner.
After driving for just ten minutes, the car suddenly stopped with a "squeak" and Ren Lu leaned forward.
"What's going on?" Lu Sinian was watching the morning news and his tablet almost flew out.
"Mr. Lu, a woman suddenly appeared in front of us. She looked like she was trying to scam me." The driver was also scared and his face turned a little pale.
"Bumped into?"
"No, no, I stopped in time."
There was indeed a woman standing in front of the car, with her arms outstretched, as if she was trying to stop the car.
Secretary Liu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, had already gone down to deal with the matter on his own initiative.
Ren Lu raised her head and took a look, and immediately felt that the man looked very familiar. After taking a closer look, her heart instantly rose.
Oh my god, isn’t this a plum blossom?
Her eyes stayed on the woman's belly. Fortunately, Meihua was very thin and did not look pregnant.
Liu Cheng expressed his concern in a polite tone. Seeing that she was fine, he wanted to hand the case over to a lawyer. He also reassured her that if there was any problem, she could be taken to the hospital for a check-up. After all, President Lu was in a hurry to travel and could not delay any further.
But the woman in front of him ignored him completely. Instead, after seeing who was in the car, she rushed to the back seat and banged on the window.
"Madam, please save me, someone wants to harm me!"
After Ren Lu made eye contact with her, Meihua ran towards her as if she had seen a life-saving straw.
Lu Sinian frowned: "Who is she?"
Ren Lu couldn't laugh at all and wanted to answer, who else could it be, the person who is going to make you a father.
But of course she couldn't say this. Now she was an innocent person who was "kept in the dark". She could only use her acting skills, looking at Meihua with complicated eyes, and shaking her head at him pretending to be calm.
"He was originally the gardener of the old house, but was kicked out because he did something wrong. I don't know how he popped up again. It's not convenient for us to interfere in the affairs of the old house." Ren Lu waved her hand.
Fortunately, the convoy behind also received the news, and bodyguards soon came forward and dragged the excited Meihua away.
"Madam, Madam, someone is trying to harm me, please come and save me!" Meihua saw the people in the car behind and started calling for others.
From beginning to end, she didn't dare to involve the two men of the Lu family.
Ren Lu's mind was working rapidly. Was Meihua released on purpose by someone, or did she escape on her own?
She has no role here at all, nor should she have one.
After all, she is nominally pregnant with Lu Sinian's child, and Old Madam Lu has sent someone to take care of her, but it's actually surveillance, so it's impossible for Meihua to appear in front of her.
But now not only has Meihua appeared, but Lu Sinian is also present. The most nervous person now is probably Lu Hui.
"Is Meihua sick? How pitiful! The peonies she raises are the most beautiful." Lu Siyue couldn't help but sigh when she saw Meihua crying.
She is the most out of touch person in the family.
When Mrs. Lu, who was in the same car with her, heard this, her face changed.
"No matter how well you take care of flowers, it's of no use if you have bad character. Si Yue, remember, girls should respect themselves and not follow any man casually without any name or status, otherwise people will gossip about you." Old Madam Lu thought of what happened between her granddaughter and Huangmao, and couldn't help but say a few more words.
Lu Siyue immediately shrank her neck and wanted to refute, saying that she was in a free love relationship and there was no such thing as no name or status. However, when she thought of the old lady's posture of scolding people and pouring out one set of moral principles after another, she swallowed her words back.
"What mistake did she make?" Lu Sinian watched the show coldly and asked casually.
Ren Lu's heart tightened, but she didn't show it on her face: "You should ask my parents about the old house, so that my answer won't be biased."
"You are Mrs. Lu, my wife. Husband and wife are one. What's there to be biased about? Tell me." He did not give up, but insisted on asking.
The couple looked at each other, and Ren Lu moved her lips. She was really itching to tell him without hesitation and see how he would react.
This is the mistress your father found. After being discovered, he threw the dirty water on you.
"Knock knock--" The car window was knocked again, breaking the delicate silence between the two.
Ren Lu turned her head and saw Lu Hui's assistant standing outside with the car window lowered.
"Boss Lu, Madam, she has been taken away. She always stole flowers and sold them. After Boss Lu and his wife found out, they chased her away. But she was diagnosed with illness a while ago and wanted to come back to ask for money. Boss Lu has already had someone transfer some money to her."
Lu Sinian nodded: "Got it, let's go."
He didn't ask any more questions and just asked the driver to drive.
Ren Lu curled her lips quietly. Lu Hui really understood his son. He was afraid that Lu Sinian would ask more questions, so he asked his assistant to explain and eliminated the possibility of exposing himself.
The group boarded a private plane and landed safely on the island.
"It's a nice environment, brother, what's the name of this island?"
Lu Siyue was forced to travel. She was in a bad mood all the way and looked unhappy with a pout. However, after seeing the island environment, she instantly became interested. After all, who doesn't like vacation?
Compared to studying, she still prefers playing. She was unhappy before because she was angry with Lu Sinian. Now that her mood has changed, she can communicate well.
"The Island of Mermaid Fish."
"Mermaid? Is there a legend about mermaids on this island? Or does it look like a mermaid?" Lu Siyue took out the map of the island and looked at it carefully, but still couldn't figure out the meaning of the island's name.
The man smiled but did not answer her question.
Ren Lu's ears twitched. She was somewhat sensitive to this name. After all, they had played the game "Secretary Ren is a Mermaid" countless times in the suite before.
However, when she looked at the man, Lu Sinian did not give her any eye contact, as if she was just overthinking.
"Mom, brother, sister-in-law, why did you take so long to get here? We have been walking around the island."
Just as the group was about to move into the villa, they saw four people coming towards them. Leading the way was Lu Shu and his wife, followed by Feng Yuwei and Huo Xiao.
All four of them were wearing floral shirts, looking very holiday-like.
"Grandma, Uncle Lu, Aunt Jiang..." Feng Yuwei and Huo Xiao followed suit to greet them.
In particular, Huo Xiao was very tactful and said that he had already prepared gifts for each individual in the Lu family.
"I was originally planning to bring only Yuwei here, but I met Huo Xiao on the way, and he also wanted to relax, so I asked him to come along. You young people should have a lot of topics to talk about playing together." Without waiting for others to raise any objections, Lu Shu took the initiative to explain.
Ren Lu quietly observed how Feng Yuwei and Huo Xiao got along, and discovered that there was still some discomfort between the two, but there was no hostility between them. Instead, there was a hint of something unusual.
Even Feng Yuwei always pretended to glance at Huo Xiao casually, with a bit of curiosity in her eyes, and it was obvious that she was interested in him.
Ren Lu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, even if she interfered, the two of them would still be together. Even if the process changed, as long as the result remained the same, it would be fine.
This proves that the plot god is still effective, Lu Sinian still has to die, and she will be able to get the inheritance after all.
After the two groups greeted each other, they parted ways and the Lu family rushed to their accommodation.
This island belongs to Lu Sinian personally, and the entire construction is according to his plan. However, unlike the simple style he usually likes, it is very beautiful.
"Brother, did you check the design of this island? The venue in front has a stage, lights, and a heart-shaped arch. It looks like a wedding venue." Lu Siyue quickly discovered the key point. Everything here is too dreamy, and it is mainly pink and blue. It looks very girly. Anyway, she likes it very much.
"It's just a small design I made casually. That small stage is too simple for a wedding." He replied casually.
Lu Siyue thought of the grand wedding of her brother and sister-in-law, and couldn't help but shrug her shoulders, agreeing with what he said in her heart.
The wedding of the eldest son of the Lu family was extremely luxurious. When the wealthy circle found out that the bride was an amateur with no background, they all wanted to laugh at her. They had no idea that the wedding banquet would be so luxurious and elaborate, and their original contemptuous attitude was put aside.
The Lu family attaches so much importance to the wedding, which is also a kind of affirmation of the bride.
As the daughter of a wealthy family, Lu Siyue has participated in many luxurious weddings, but the wedding of her brother and sister-in-law was definitely one of the best.
The wedding was called a combination of land, sea and air. Ren Lu wore a white wedding dress and was covered in high-end jewels. She sat on a boat like a queen, and the boat was covered with flowers.
Lu Sinian was waiting for her on the shore, and finally the two of them walked hand in hand onto the red carpet and towards the host.
After the ceremony, the newlyweds toasted to the guests and then, unlike usual, boarded a helicopter and left everyone's sight.
"Brother, when I get married in the future, I will also ride in a helicopter and have flower petals scatter from the sky. It will be really romantic." Lu Siyue was a young girl in love and wanted to have the same romance.
At that time, she longed for the grand scene of her brother and sister-in-law announcing it to the world.
Even if no one is optimistic about them being together, they will use money and power to silence the gossips and force them to hide in a dark corner even when they are laughing at them.
Lu Sinian tilted his head to glance at her. Without even looking closely, he could guess his sister's little thoughts and couldn't help but sneer.
"Okay, if you want, you can achieve it on your own or with the help of your future husband."
As soon as he said this, Lu Siyue knew what he meant and immediately rolled her eyes.
"Tsk, who are you trying to scare? How much money can it cost? It's not like I'm poor!" Her family background determined that she would never worry about money.
"Hey, where does your money come from? It can't be all the dirty money at home, right?" He asked deliberately.
Before, Lu Siyue’s elopement with Huangmao was exposed, and conflicts would occur from time to time. At that time, she would always scream hysterically and curse the smell of money in the house, as if only their love was great and sacred.
Lu Siyue choked and was unable to answer for a moment. She was silent for a moment before she found her voice again.
"Didn't you spend your family's dirty money on your wedding? Why are you showing off?"
"I'm not. If you need, I can ask my assistant to give you the bill."
Lu Siyue couldn't find his loophole, so she turned to Ren Lu and said, "Sister-in-law, whose idea was it to take a helicopter to leave at the end of the wedding?"
Ever since the brother and sister mentioned the wedding, Ren Lu tried hard to reduce her presence, but unfortunately things did not go as planned.
She was really not happy about her huge and extravagant wedding ceremony and was very ashamed of it.
The wedding scene was very beautiful. She sat on a boat, the lake was sparkling, and the surrounding mountains and rivers were beautiful, giving people the illusion of being in heaven.
Everything is so perfect.
But the last part of getting on the helicopter was really unnecessary. After it took off, someone was scattering flower petals below, and the guests below were cheering.
If this happened in a comic or novel, it would definitely be a beautiful and ostentatious scene, but when she really experienced it, it was still a bit shameful and too childish.
"Wedding planner. If Yueyue likes, I can help you get a helicopter when you get married." Ren Lu wanted to quickly skip the topic and make a promise directly.
This immediately made Lu Siyue smile: "Sister-in-law, you are so nice, much better than my brother."
She made a face at Lu Sinian and ran away quickly.
"Mrs. Lu has become so powerful now that she's starting to undermine me." The man spoke casually, and his words didn't sound very pleasant.
Ren Lu smiled in a relaxed manner: "Si Yue is soft-hearted and does not take hard measures. If Mr. Lu wants to achieve his goal, he must find the right method."
"In the face of absolute strength, she has to eat even if she doesn't want to."
"That only applies to enemies. We still have to be gentle towards our loved ones." Ren Lu argued with him with a smile.
Lu Sinian looked at her, raised his eyebrows, and said nonchalantly: "I don't think so. The closer the relative, the easier it is to deliver a fatal blow. We must be the first to inflict a heavy blow."
His words were a little abrupt, leaving Ren Lu stunned.
Lu Siyue is just a girl who is preparing for the college entrance examination. How can she deliver any fatal blow?
Unless Lu Sinian was speaking from his own feelings and was making an indirect accusation.
"Did Si Yue hurt you?" she asked tentatively.
The man just waved at her and led the way away without answering.
Watching his back as he walked away, Ren Lu was secretly alert in her heart. This bastard looked really abnormal. Was he going to do something big?
***
In the evening, they had originally agreed to have dinner together, but Lu Shu suddenly felt unwell and did not come down. Ji Haiyang stayed in the room to take care of her, and Feng Yuwei and Huo Xiao were also tactful enough not to disturb her.
Therefore, there were only six people from the Lu family at the dining table. Dinner was held at the seaside. Various exquisitely shaped glass lamps were placed on the dining table. The sound of the sea, the beautiful scenery, the gentle sea breeze, and the family gathered together made the atmosphere at the moment extremely warm.
"The scenery is so beautiful. It was so chaotic before I went out that I didn't want to go out, but now I feel so cozy and comfortable." After eating and drinking, Jiang Xiu leaned back in the chair, fiddling with the glass lamp, and his voice sounded lazy.
Lu Siyue also nodded. She liked eating seafood and was very satisfied with the meal tonight.
"Want to play games?" Lu Sinian glanced at his family members sitting at the dining table and suddenly made a suggestion.
"What game? Cards? I'm not good at it, you guys play." Lu Siyue waved her hands. She was the youngest and the most naive, so she couldn't beat this group of old foxes at all. She took the initiative to withdraw to avoid being embarrassed later.
"I'm old and don't want to use my brain. It's just right for the four of you to play." Old Madam Lu also said she would not participate.
"Instead of playing cards, let's play Truth or Dare. How about that?" Lu Sinian waved his hand.
After he finished speaking, the table fell into an eerie silence. Apparently, no one expected this to be a game, and after hesitating for a moment, they all tacitly agreed not to refuse.
Silence is the default, and it is obvious that everyone is very interested in this game.
"I want to play! Brother, are you ready? I have a lot of questions to ask you and sister-in-law!" Lu Siyue was the first to raise her hand in agreement, and even her eyes were full of eagerness to try.
She had countless questions in her mind about her brother and sister-in-law's relationship and marriage, and after her elopement with Jiang Yan was opposed, her curiosity gradually turned into a little jealousy and malice.
With such a huge gap between the rich and the poor, why is it that the elder brother and his wife can achieve a happy ending while she has to suffer from the criticism of her relatives and even the secret separation?
"How do we play?" Madam Lu was not tired at all and took the initiative to ask how to play.
"Here is a dice, with exactly six persons, 1-6 each representing a number, arranged in order of age. Grandma is 1 and Siyue is 6. Whoever the dice rolls to is the king, and the king selects a villain. The villain can choose between truth or dare or dare, and the king will decide the punishment." Lu Sinian took out a dice from his pocket, obviously well prepared.
"Okay, respect the old and love the young, is it okay for me to roll the dice first?" Mrs. Lu was unusually positive.
Seeing how impatient she was, Jiang Xiu suddenly felt a little tingling on her scalp: "Mom, do you still like to play this game?"
"Why? Who said old people can't play? I have a lot of punishments for you! You'd better not turn to 1, otherwise I will punish you to death!" When Madam Lu said this, her eyes swept over the younger generations one by one, focusing on Ren Lu.
She took the opportunity to settle the old grudge between her and her grandson's wife.
Ren Lu looked back calmly, not afraid at all.
It was too early for the old lady to say this. Everyone has the same chance of becoming the king. When it is her turn as No. 5, she will have to go back.
Madam Lu exerted force, and the dice spun on the table and finally stopped.
"Wow, grandma is very lucky. 1 means 1. You are in trouble, sister-in-law." After seeing the number, Lu Siyue felt a little gloating.
"Number 5, truth or dare?" Old Madam Lu raised her chin slightly and asked in a serious tone. She didn't even call out the name, but directly used the serial number instead.
"It's the truth."
"Besides Si Nian, who is the most unforgettable man in your life?" Mrs. Lu asked directly without any pause. It was obvious that she had prepared for this question a long time ago.
"Wow——" Lu Siyue exclaimed instantly, her face full of excitement.
"Mom, Xiaoyue is still here, why are you starting to ask about these love matters?" Jiang Xiu said disapprovingly.
"Yueyue is almost an adult, do you think she knows nothing?" Old Madam Lu waved her hands and didn't care.
"My biological father." Ren Lu said without any hesitation.
Lu Siyue protested immediately: "Sister-in-law, your answer is too unfair. Grandma must want to ask you about love. This answer is the same for everyone. Everyone's father is the most unforgettable!"
"I've been called a bastard for more than ten years. I'll never forget him in my life." Ren Lu added calmly.
Lu Siyue, who was instantly excited, closed her mouth, and the atmosphere was deadlocked for a moment.
Jiang Xiu secretly stepped on Lu Siyue, really bringing up something that was not relevant.
"Lulu, I'm sorry, Siyue doesn't know--" She wanted to apologize on behalf of Lu Siyue.
But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Ren Lu: "It's okay, Mom, it's all in the past, I'm not sad anymore. If we talk about unforgettable love, there is no one else but Si Nian, he is my first love."
She didn't even blink, and her tone seemed calm and serious.
When Ren Lu traveled through time, her family situation was extremely bad. To be honest, if she didn't have a mature memory, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to make it.
As for the fact that Lu Sinian was her first love, it was not a lie. After all, after she came to this strange world, she just wanted to live a good life. Later, after she determined her goal to seduce Lu Sinian to inherit his inheritance, she no longer cared about looking for other men to have a love affair. Of course, making money was more important.
"It's the truth. If you lie, God will punish you." She added.
Suddenly no one doubted it anymore, even Lu Sinian turned around and looked at her.
"I'll do it, I'll do it." Lu Siyue immediately grabbed the dice and threw it out with force. Coincidentally, the number stopped at 6, and she immediately applauded excitedly.
"Hahaha, my luck is here, number 5, number 5!"
Sure enough, she also targeted Ren Lu.
"It's the truth."
"Do you love my brother more as a person or as a person, or as a person with a lot of money?" Lu Siyue went straight to the point.
"Lu Siyue!"
Lu Hui and his wife stopped him in unison.
"What's wrong? It's okay even if you love money. Who doesn't love money?" Lu Siyue said with his neck stiff.
"In this world, I love him the most. No, I love him more than the world." Ren Lu waved her hand nonchalantly and said this firmly and seriously.
Everyone stopped talking and looked at her. Ren Lu turned her head and looked at the man. Her eyes were full of affection and true feelings.
Her answer was not a lie, because when she came to this world, she really loved Lu Sinian the most. Lu Sinian gave her money to spend and helped her escape from the miserable state of being an ordinary person.
Of course, she loves him more than the world. After all, the world treats him like a ball and kicks him around. It's good enough that she doesn't hate him, let alone talk about love.
