When Master Lu mentioned the Mu family, he seemed very regretful. Then his expression suddenly changed, and his tone was full of sarcasm: "As for the Mu family? Oh, such a shabby family, how can they be called a wealthy family? They really think that those who knew about those things are dead. They want to conceal the truth. What wishful thinking."
Bai You's heart sank suddenly. From what Mr. Lu said, the Chu family was more prestigious than the Mu family. Then how did Chu Lanxi's mother become their mistress?
Chu Lanxi is one year older than Mu Qingxue. Others say that Chu Lanxi is an illegitimate daughter and that her mother was a mistress, which is why she was born. But now, listening to what Mr. Lu said, could it be that there is a hidden story behind this?
Bai You looked at Mr. Lu and asked, "So you asked me to marry Mr. Lu just because I am a descendant of the Chu family. No matter how bad I am, as long as I am a descendant of the Chu family, I must marry Mr. Lu?"
Mr. Lu was silent for a moment, then he sighed and said, "Xiaoxi, I promised your grandfather that I would take good care of you and your daughter. I didn't fulfill my responsibility to your mother, but I can't ignore you. I don't want to be ashamed to face my old comrades when I get old."
"So it's because of my grandfather that you agreed to take care of me and insisted on letting me marry Mr. Lu to guarantee my life for the rest of my life, right?"
No wonder, whether it was Chu Lanxi in the past or Bai You now, he never gave up the idea of letting her marry Lu Yunxiao. Then... what about Lu Yunxiao? What was he? A tool for Mr. Lu to repay his favor?
For some reason, Bai You suddenly became very angry. She hated having her life arranged by others, and she also hated arranging other people's lives. If she really listened to Mr. Lu and married Lu Yunxiao, then Lu Yunxiao's life would be ruined.
Now she is at least mentally clear. What about the previous Chu Lanxi? If she married Lu Yunxiao, would they live like this for the rest of their lives? No matter what, Lu Yunxiao is a business leader and a child of destiny. It would be so cruel for him to marry a woman who is so different from her.
Bai You looked at Mr. Lu, smiled, and said calmly and firmly: "Grandpa Lu, I can't marry Mr. Lu."
Lu Hongbo frowned, looked at Bai You, and asked, "Why? Yun Xiao is so outstanding. Isn't it great to be with you?"
"You also said that he is very outstanding. Such an outstanding person, marrying me, an ordinary person with nothing, as his wife, don't you feel guilty towards him? He is your grandson, not an object. You can marry anyone you want. He may agree to your request out of filial piety. But what about the rest of his life? Will he be happy or unhappy? Have you ever thought about these things?"
Lu Hongbo fell silent after hearing Bai You's words.
Bai You looked at Mr. Lu and continued, "Let's take a step back and say that you arranged this marriage between Mr. Lu and me just to fulfill your wish. You think that if I were to be with Mr. Lu, he would protect me and ensure I would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life, but have you ever considered whether we're both willing to do this? We're strangers to each other, so how can we possibly manage a marriage?"
Lu Hongbo moved his lips for a long time, then said dryly, "Emotions can be cultivated."
"Then we can talk about marriage after we've cultivated it. Grandpa Lu, if you want to protect me and take care of me, there are many ways, not just this one. I don't want to interfere in Mr. Lu's life. The gap between us is too big. It's not suitable."
Lu Hongbo frowned, looked at Bai You, and said, "But you clearly wanted to marry Yun Xiao before."
Bai You raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "That was in the past, not now."
Chu Lanxi was willing, but Bai You was not.
Getting married and having children is not in her plan at the moment. Even if she wants to consider it one day, she will not choose Lu Yunxiao.
There will be no result between a person in the clouds and a person like her walking on the ground.
They are from different circles, have different living habits, and have no common topics. Even if they force themselves to get together, nothing will happen.
Lu Hongbo didn't say anything, but lowered his eyes as if he was thinking about something. Bai You didn't continue talking. Now that things have come to this, it's his business how to think. In short, there is no way she would agree to this marriage. What's the difference between that and the forced buying and selling in the old society?
After a long while, Mr. Lu raised his head and looked at Bai You, "Xiao Xi, I promised your grandfather that I would take good care of you, but I didn't do it. You fell from the upstairs and became a vegetable. Now you don't want to marry Yun Xiao, I feel guilty towards your grandfather."
Bai You smiled and said, "I told you, there are many ways to take care of me, not just this method. I'm an adult now, I can take good care of myself, you don't have to worry."
Mr. Lu looked at Bai You with a complicated expression and said sadly: "You and Yun Xiao are very similar sometimes. You both said the same thing to me. In this case, then I will listen to you. If you don't want to, what can I do?"
Bai You smiled. She and Lu Yunxiao were not alike, but she understood that nothing would come of them. However, after hearing what Mr. Lu said, Bai You still breathed a sigh of relief.
…
Three months later.
A beautifully decorated coffee shop with people coming in and out.
In this lively scene, in a corner where no one was paying attention, sat a woman with her hair tied into a ponytail, wearing a white shirt and jeans, looking very youthful.
Bai You sipped his coffee sips, looking at the road railings opposite that had been repaired long ago, with a smile on his lips.
Three months ago, she had a car accident here. There was such a huge explosion that it was broadcast on the news and everyone was on alert.
Now three months have passed, the damaged road has been repaired, and the incident has disappeared. People nowadays probably have forgotten the car accident here three months ago.
No one knew that a forensic doctor died in the car accident, and no one cared about the incident. He disappeared without a trace and kept it secret.
Haha, the person who planned her car accident probably had this in mind, to get rid of him without anyone knowing.
But he had never expected that she would be reborn. It seemed that God did not want her to die in such a confused state and gave her a chance to be reborn.
Bai You sipped his coffee while leisurely watching the various people outside.
After a while, a man wearing a baseball cap pulled out a chair and sat in front of Bai You.
Bai You withdrew his gaze from the window and looked at the man in front of him.
"What's going on?"
Looking at the man's tired and hurried appearance, Bai You frowned and asked.
The man picked up the coffee on the table and took a big sip.
After recovering from the shock, he said to Bai You: "It's a bit troublesome for you to ask me to investigate such a big matter."
Bai You frowned, thought for a moment, and then said: "Will you be in danger? If it's tricky, you can stop and I'll think of other ways."
