The servant knelt down immediately, looking at her with tears in his eyes, "Miss, I'm kneeling down and begging you, please help me for the sake of my family, as I have elderly parents and young children."
Lan You said coldly, "You are blackmailing me. Do you know what would happen if I agreed to your request? I will be with someone I don't like for the rest of my life. If I save you, who will save my happiness?"
The servant was stunned.
Suddenly, a slapping sound came from the room. Lan Rui, dressed in a formal black suit, looked at Lan You in surprise. "I didn't expect that Xiao You is really different from before. He doesn't even care about the lives of the servants."
"I will definitely not attend the engagement party today unless you tie me up and take me there." Lan You said cruelly.
Lan Rui stared at her, thinking carefully, what was different?
The Xiaoyou in the past was very obedient and never dared to disobey him. She was also very kind to the servants, treating them like sisters. She was extremely soft-hearted.
A little more cruel than before.
"If you don't go, don't blame me for dealing with Mo Junyao. You definitely haven't seen my methods yet." Lan Rui's tone was gentle, but there was a hint of threat in his voice.
Lan You's eyes suddenly turned to him, and his words revealed a hint of nervousness, "Dad, how are you going to deal with Jun Yao?"
Lan Rui laughed softly, tapping the tabletop with his fingers from time to time, his other hand in his trouser pocket, his whole body exuding the majesty of a superior.
"For me, Lan Rui, dealing with Mo Junyao is easier than stepping on an ant. He doesn't want you anymore anyway, so what happens to him has nothing to do with you." Although Lan Rui said this, who knew Xiaoyou's thoughts better than him?
He couldn't stand seeing others hurting Mo Junyao, and he couldn't stand it either.
I don’t want you anymore. These words deeply pierced Lan You’s broken heart. Yes, Jun Yao didn’t want her anymore, so why did she still care about him?
But she didn't want to see his dignity being trampled on. It would feel like her head was being stepped on by someone. She couldn't imagine how Jun Yao would feel when he was hit.
She couldn't bear to see him frustrated.
"Dad, can you... not deal with Jun Yao? He has made so many contributions to the Lan family." Lan You held his arm and looked at him pleadingly, which made Lan Rui very angry.
He suddenly shook off her hand and said, "Useless thing! He treated you like this, and you actually still care about him. You are simply embarrassing our Lan family. You must go to the engagement party today. I don't want others to criticize our Lan family."
The reason for the anxious engagement is to restore the image of the Lan family. Lan You's attempt to jump off the building in order to win back Mo Junyao is very disadvantageous to the Lan family.
Secondly...naturally I want to see Mo Junyao's reaction.
However, the Lu family is very powerful, and it can be regarded as his backup plan. Even if the consequences he expected are not achieved, it is not a loss.
After Lan Rui left, Lan You felt like her whole body was falling apart. Jun Yao obviously didn't care about her anymore, so couldn't she be a little crueler?
But why can't she do it?
While crying, she asked the maid to help her dress. Then a famous makeup artist did her makeup and hair, and she got in the car to go to the hotel.
Gu Chen went to attend the engagement banquet as the second young master of the Gu family. Before leaving, he specifically told Mo Junyao. He got into the car with his long legs and held his mobile phone in his right hand.
"Jun Yao, are you really not going?" he asked.
The voice on the other end of the phone immediately came without hesitation, "No."
"Then don't regret it. I'll be leaving first. Bye."
Gu Chen put his phone aside, a hint of suspicion flashed across his eyes. Is Jun Yao just pretending to be stubborn or is he really not going?
Never mind, I stepped on the accelerator and the car sped away in a cloud of dust.
On the other side, one hour before the engagement party, Mo Junyao received a recording.
It was a conversation between Lan You and Lan Rui. When he heard that Lan You succumbed to Lan Rui's coercion for him, his eyes frowned tightly.
"Mr. Mo, I am the servant who takes care of the young lady. The young lady really loves you. If you still feel anything after hearing the recording, you must go to the scene to save the young lady, otherwise she will live an unhappy life."
Mo Junyao casually put his phone aside, and suddenly his mind was filled with memories of him and her five years ago.
A nostalgic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of longing. After realizing that he had been distracted, he shook his head, took out red wine and a highball glass, poured it for himself, and drank several glasses.
But the more he drank, the more awake he became. It was as if countless people were constantly talking in his ears.
"Mo Junyao, won't you regret not going?"
"After tonight, even if you regret it, it will be too late."
"If you really don't love her anymore, why do you remember what happened five years ago so clearly? Why do you still help her friends?"
"Mo Junyao, admit it, you still love her, and you simply can't accept her engagement."
"No, I can accept it." Mo Junyao covered his head and kept fighting against the voice in his head, his brows filled with deep irritation.
"If you really think you can accept it, then why don't you dare go to the engagement party and watch her get engaged? If you regret it after watching it, you still have a chance to make amends."
"You're sitting here, what else could you be if not escaping?"
Mo Junyao angrily threw the wine glass to the ground with a deafening bang. The voices in his head finally dissipated, giving Mo Junyao peace and quiet.
He stood up, rushed out of the villa, started the car and headed for the hotel.
His eyes looked ahead firmly. He went to the engagement party just to see if he regretted it, nothing more.
If you have no regrets, then make a complete break with Lan You and all the memories of the past.
...........
Engagement party.
The entire hall is brightly lit, with a dazzling crystal chandelier hanging in the center, emitting bright light. Suits paired with evening gowns, red wine and cakes are undoubtedly a grand visual feast.
When Lu Wanying saw Gu Chen, she was a little surprised, "You're here, does that mean Mo Junyao is here too?"
"Jun Yao is gone, I came here as the second young master of the Gu family." Gu Chen explained.
The glint of surprise in Lu Wanying's eyes instantly shattered and suddenly became dim. It turned out that Mo Junyao didn't come.
She looked everywhere for Lan You but didn't see her. She must still be in the lounge.
In the lounge.
Lan You looked at herself in the mirror with delicate makeup on, but her face looked uglier when she smiled than when she cried.
Her eyes were dim and she looked as lifeless as the bleak autumn day.
Is she really going to get engaged to someone she doesn't love?
Will Jun Yao really not come to save her?
It felt like a bloody hole was torn in my heart, and a steady stream of cold wind was pouring in, causing me excruciating pain.
