Chapter 15 Forget it, the market is even tighter than that of a gigolo.
Yun Tan finally passed Lu Wangshan and left, and Lu Wangshan did not stop him.
There was a tacit awkwardness at the end of the dinner. Yun Tan did not return to the box, and the Yuan family members all looked unhappy.
They explained Yuntan's sudden departure by saying he was busy with work.
Lu Chengjun said that it was a good thing for young people to be busy, but after saying this, he turned his head and glanced at Lu Wangshan.
When did it start?
Lu Chengjun recalled that when the Yuan family introduced Yuntan, they said that he studied in Milan for five years, but WH Group did not seem to have any projects that required going to Milan in the past five years, so it was impossible for them to meet in Milan.
So, it was after Yuntan returned to China?
Lu Chengjun recalled the young woman's appearance. She was indeed beautiful, and her temperament was outstanding. Her coolness was eye-catching enough, without any vulgar flattery.
However, his son had never been in a relationship for so many years, and Lu Chengjun could not imagine that Lu Wangshan would fall in love in such a short time after Yun Tan returned to China.
Everyone pretended to be ignorant even though they knew the truth until the party was over.
Lu Chengjun and Lu Wangshan got in the car together. Lu Chengjun was sent first, and then Lu Wangshan was sent to Lu's house.
Lu Chengjun didn't expose the issue directly: "Last time, your mother mentioned that your Uncle Gu's daughter is also studying for a master's degree in finance at Tsinghua University. She is about to graduate and wants to meet you to talk."
"Dad," Lu Wangshan said nonchalantly, "You have three blind date dinners a week. Your son is more popular than a gigolo."
"Don't say that. If your mother hears you, she'll say you're rude."
Lu Chengjun laughed and patted his shoulder. "So you're not going? If you don't want to, I'll ask your mother to find a reason to refuse."
Lu Wangshan said calmly, "Refuse it."
"What if I let you and Xiao Tan have another meal together?" Lu Chengjun suddenly asked.
Lu Wangshan turned his head and looked at Lu Chengjun.
Compared to Ms. Xiang Yin, he looks more like his father, and Lu Chengjun's raised eyebrow movement at this moment is exactly the same as his.
Lu Wangshan retracted his gaze: "She may not want to eat with me."
The answer was irrelevant to the question, but Lu Chengjun understood it.
His son was proud, confident, and strong enough. When had he ever seen him react like this?
"Why? Does she have a bad impression of you?"
Lu Chengjun felt strange. Although Lu Wangshan's personality was not perfect and he might not be gentle and considerate enough to girls, he certainly had the basic gentleman etiquette. How could he make the girl unwilling to even have a meal with him?
"Or is it because of Leo? I heard from your mother that Leo was too excited that day and even tore Xiao Tan's skirt."
Lu Wangshan smiled, but the smile quickly faded: "Dad, what do you want to say?"
"Are you interested in Xiao Tan?"
Lu Wangshan was silent for a long time.
After all, the son is grown up now, and of course it is impossible for him to tell his parents everything like he did when he was a child. Just when Lu Chengjun thought that he would not answer, Lu Wangshan said: "I was with her, an ex-girlfriend."
Lu Chengjun was stunned: "When?"
"Five or six years ago."
"Five or six years?!" Lu Chengjun was surprised. "You were only 22 years old then. How old was Xiao Tan?"
“18.”
“…”
Lu Chengjun suddenly fell silent.
It took him a while to accept this fact, as he was only 18 years old and had just become an adult.
A 22-year-old dating an 18-year-old is not the same as a 28-year-old dating a 24-year-old.
"Why have I never heard you mention it before?" Lu Chengjun asked, "Then why did you break up?"
Thinking about the fact that Yun Tan refused to even finish the meal, Lu Chengjun already had many guesses in his mind, nothing more than that his son had let her down.
But this really shattered his original understanding of Lu Wangshan.
Lu Wangshan said lightly, "She's going to study in Milan, so we're separated."
"Just that?"
"That's all."
"So what do you think now?" Lu Chengjun breathed a sigh of relief. "Xiao Tan has graduated and returned to China. If you still have feelings for her, it's not impossible to start over."
Although Lu Chengjun also looked down on the Yuan family's attitude.
But Yuntan is obviously not the same kind of person. In this matter, Lu Chengjun trusts his son's vision.
"Your grandfather might be dissatisfied with Xiao Tan's identity."
Lu Kun was a former general, an overly traditional and overly strong old man. "But your mother and I don't care about family background. After all, you have your own way to live your life, and we believe that you can make your own achievements without relying on marriage."
"Dad, are you thinking too far ahead?" Lu Wangshan asked with amusement.
"So what do you think?"
What bothers them the most now is not that Lu Wangshan has a girlfriend who is not of the same social status as him, but that he is not willing to fall in love at all, let alone get married.
Hearing that he had dated a girl, Lu Chengjun's first reaction was relief.
"If the Yuan family really wants to bring you together, are you willing to marry Xiao Tan?"
Lu Wangshan looked at the night scene flashing past outside the car window.
Thinking of Yun Tan's tearful and heart-piercing words, "This is my life," his Adam's apple rolled and he said, "Forget it."
-
Since that day, Yun Tan never contacted Lu Wangshan again, and Lu Wangshan never contacted her again.
The chat history in the phone just stopped at the time before he went on a business trip, when they had dinner together, watched a movie, and then kissed.
Even though the dinner did not go well, Yuan Fang and Yuan Siliu still asked someone to spread the news.
All of a sudden, the news that Yun Tan and Lu Wangshan were arranged to meet for a blind date spread.
When those noble ladies heard the news, their first reaction was: "Yun Tan? Who is Yun Tan?"
Xiang Wu happened to be attending a salon event with them and was questioned.
"I've never heard of it. Is it fake?"
Xiang Wu in the crowd was wearing an exaggerated puff-sleeved dress. The light bamboo green color that seemed to be oozing with water made her look even more charming, with just the right touch of affectation.
"It can't be fake. I even heard Yuan Runbai mention that Yuntan is the daughter of his aunt's husband and his ex-wife!"
"Ah? That university professor's daughter?"
When these young ladies grow up, they are always taught by their families not to fall in love with poor men. Yuan Qinrong is a prominent negative example.
"She's not the granddaughter of the Yuan family, so how could she be qualified to go on a blind date with Lu Wangshan?" The man tilted his head and asked Xiang Wu, "Wuwu, you really don't know?"
"Why should I know? It's just a blind date, not a marriage."
Later, someone got Yuntan's photo from somewhere. It was a group photo of the party at Lu's house that day.
Yuntan stood in the corner, and the plain dress looked surprisingly harmonious on her. In the crowd, she was like a lone leaf boat, or a thin sword shining with a cold light.
It is indeed a unique temperament and beauty.
Everyone suddenly became quiet.
If she had an ordinary appearance, at most they would laugh at her for thinking too highly of herself.
But if you have an outstanding appearance, you will be more vulnerable to slander in such matters.
Several of them started talking at once, all wanting to make fun of Yun Tan, and suggested that Xiang Wu call her out to see her.
Xiang Wu felt a little annoyed and refused: "I don't know her."
"Then you'd better get to know them and be prepared," one of them said sarcastically. "If it really comes to pass, wouldn't you have to call that poor scholar's daughter your sister-in-law? You might even have to visit them as relatives from time to time!"
Xiang Wu raised her beautiful eyes and looked at the woman in front of her. She clasped her arms around her chest, and her slender white fingers gently tapped her arms.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
"Are you jealous that she is prettier than you?" Xiang Wu asked calmly, blinking his innocent eyes.
The woman opposite her blushed crimson, but she didn't dare to get angry with Xiang Wu: "Wu Wu, are you kidding me? How could I be jealous of her?"
Xiang Wu still had that innocent look on his face, with his hands covering his lips and letting out an "ah" in surprise, which was so infuriating.
She asked sincerely, "Then why are you suddenly speaking so harshly?"
"I, I didn't mean that. I just wanted to remind you out of kindness."
Xiang Wu suddenly turned cold and sneered, and said straight to the point: "What kind of wife my brother finds is none of my business, and even less yours. If I like her, I call her sister-in-law. If I don't like her, I don't call her. You don't need to worry about me."
She stood up, picked up her bag, looked her in the eyes, and said word by word, "It's not your turn to dictate our family affairs. Remember that?"
The man's face was pale and he said nothing.
Xiang Wu asked again: "Do you remember?"
It wasn't until that person lowered his eyes in front of everyone and said "I'll remember" that she nodded and said, "Very good."
After saying that, Xiang Wu turned around and left in her high heels.
Xiang Wu is spoiled and willful. She can't stand any anger, and she can't stand others being jealous of her without any reason.
It's really incomprehensible. She must be so bored that she would join this group of people to participate in the event.
She got into the car angrily, a rose-red Ferrari LaFerrari, with her bag thrown on the passenger seat, and she stepped on the accelerator and sped away.
After driving for a long time, he finally remembered to call Lu Wangshan. He parked the car on the side of the road and dialed his number.
"Are you getting married?" Xiang Wu asked in an almost questioning tone.
Lu Wangshan paused for a few seconds and asked, "Have you been drinking?"
"No! Just now, Shen Funi said that you and that thing, Yun Tan, were on a blind date! How could you be on a blind date with her!"
"Is it your business?"
"Brother! I don't agree! I'm telling you, I don't agree!"
Xiang Wu completely forgot that he had just said in front of others, "What kind of wife my brother finds is none of my business."
According to Xiang Wu's life principles, she can be angry with her family at will, but she must unconditionally protect her family in front of outsiders.
Lu Wangshan found her matter-of-fact tone quite amusing and reminded her, "No one is going to ask for your opinion, Wuwu."
"So this is true?!" Xiang Wu suddenly asked, "You really like her?!"
Xiang Wu was about to faint.
She didn't know Yun Tan, and it was not a matter of liking or disliking her. She just didn't like Yuan Qinrong. She thought she was hypocritical and artificial, and she always wanted to get close to her. What a fool!
Lu Wangshan was too lazy to tell her that his sister had been spoiled to the point of being lawless, so he simply hung up the phone.
Xiang Wu listened to the busy tone on his phone and saw the reminder "the other party has hung up" in disbelief. He almost couldn't breathe.
Aaaaahhh!!!
Lu Wangshan is the only one in this world who dares to hang up on her!!!
-
Xiang Wu was breathing heavily, her rosy cheeks were flushed with blood, and her chest was heaving violently.
She pressed the start button, but the car suddenly wouldn't start and the warning lights came on.
Everything is going wrong!
A car worth over 30 million yuan is easier to break than a toy car!
Xiang Wu suppressed his anger and prepared to call someone to tow the car, but as soon as he dialed the number, his phone suddenly vibrated, the screen went black, and the battery was out.
Xiang Wu took a deep breath, his lungs almost exploded.
Nowadays, if your cell phone runs out of battery, your martial arts skills will be useless. Even if she is Xiang Wu, there is nothing she can do.
She got off the car and prepared to take a taxi, but there were very few taxis here. The temperature had dropped and it was particularly cold today. Xiang Wu traveled in a constant temperature all year round and never checked the weather. She was only wearing a short skirt today.
The exaggerated puff-sleeved princess dress would not look out of place in a salon, but it would look like a psychopath on the street in winter.
Xiang Wu felt that the drivers passing by were looking at her strangely. Then she looked at the eye-catching Ferrari behind her and could not hide her regret.
The translation roughly means - This world is so unfair, how can such a lunatic drive a Ferrari?
Xiang Wu was so angry that he kicked the wheel hard.
Damn car! It made her so embarrassed!
It was all Lu Wangshan's fault! If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have stopped the car, and the car might not have broken down! If she hadn't called him, her phone wouldn't have died!
He actually dared to hang up on her!!!
Xiang Wu's cheeks turned even redder, turning into a rich blush.
Suddenly, a very clear female voice came from behind: "Is your car broken down?"
When Xiang Wu turned around, he saw a beautiful woman holding a glass of iced American coffee in front of him.
She wore a white cashmere coat with a stand-up collar, a light grey knit top and white trousers. Her long wavy hair was draped over one side of her chest, and her hair fluttered in the wind, creating just the right amount of messy beauty.
Her skin was so white and shiny, and her light amber pupils were clear and graceful. She was tall but narrow, like a thin piece of paper in the cold wind, yet she did not look weak. Instead, she had a sense of sharpness and decisiveness.
Blinked at the fog.
I wondered if this coat of hers was a new model from a certain brand or if it was a custom-made item?
Moreover, she seemed familiar.
Xiang Wu paused for a few seconds, and suddenly remembered the photo of Yun Tan that he had just seen on Shen Funi's phone.
This is Yuntan?
"Oh, yes, it suddenly won't start." Xiang Wu rarely spoke coherently.
Yun Tan was at work and came downstairs to get coffee. Unexpectedly, she ran into Xiang Wu. Her impression of Xiang Wu was still stuck on the day when she got out of Lu Wangshan's car at the hospital gate and her exhibit-like dressing room.
She hadn't intended to say anything, but the next second she saw Xiang Wu kicking the car angrily.
“…”
It is unacceptable to take something from someone else, and it is also unacceptable to wear someone else's clothes. Yuntan had borrowed Xiangwu's clothes twice.
"I can help you take a look." Yun Tan pointed to the building next to him. "I work in this company. If it doesn't work, I can ask my colleagues in the workshop to come out and take a look."
Xiang Wu was still confused. This was just too much of a coincidence.
"I was able to drive it just now, but I stopped to make a phone call, and suddenly it wouldn't start, and my phone was dead."
Yun Tan glanced at the yellow indicator light and said, "It's probably low on power, a minor problem."
She called her colleagues in the workshop and asked them to send a power bank to the company entrance.
After hanging up the phone, Yun Tan asked again: "Where is the battery of this car?"
Xiang Wu tilted his head: "Battery? I have a gasoline car."
“…”
Yuntan gave up asking Xiangwu and checked his phone instead.
As expected of a Ferrari, the battery is hidden under the passenger seat.
Yuntan’s colleague quickly brought the power bank and screwdriver.
"Help me get it." Yun Tan handed the coffee to Xiang Wu.
When Xiang Wu saw her squatting on the ground tightening screws, his pupils really trembled.
"You're amazing!" Xiang Wu exclaimed from the bottom of her heart. It was the first time she saw a girl who could repair cars. "Is your job in this company to repair cars?"
"No, I'm from the design department." Yun Tan turned around and saw her red knees from the cold. "You get in the car first, it will be quick."
Xiang Wu did feel cold, and after getting in the car, he asked Yun Tan, "Then how do you know how to repair cars?"
"It's just a low battery. It's very simple. Just connect the positive and negative electrodes. In addition to product design, I also took a lot of engineering classes in college, so I have some understanding of car structure."
The more nonchalant Yun Tan was, the more powerful Xiang Wu felt she was.
"Try starting it now."
Xiang Wu pressed the start button, and this time it actually worked: "Wow! So fast! You are amazing!"
Yun Tan smiled and thought that her cousin Lu Wangshan was quite cute and good at providing emotional value.
Yun Tan certainly didn't know that she was probably the first person in the world who felt that Xiang Wu could provide emotional value to others.
"Do you have any urgent business?" Yun Tan asked.
"No." Xiang Wu's voice unconsciously became coquettish when he met someone he liked.
"Then charge it for a while, just to be safe."
Xiang Wu plugged his phone into the car's port and charged it. The moment he turned it on, he sent a message to Lu Wangshan: "Brother, can you repair cars?"
Lu Wangshan frowned when he saw this inexplicable message, fearing that the princess would make trouble again, and replied coldly, "No."
Xiang Wu clicked his tongue and shook his head.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" Xiang Wu asked very abruptly.
Yun Tan was stunned: "Huh?"
Xiang Wu smiled awkwardly: "I just think you are so beautiful! And you can even repair cars! I can't imagine what kind of man can be worthy of you."
Yuntan didn't know how to explain to Xiang Wu that dealing with a low car battery was really simple and there was no need to make it so complex.
So I just smiled and shook my head: "I don't have a boyfriend."
Xiang Wu blinked, thinking, no boyfriend? Could it be that all this was just her brother's unrequited love? Was it even close to marriage?
But she really likes this sister-in-law!
"Let's add WeChat, shall we?" Xiang Wu handed over his phone. "I'll transfer the repair fee to you."
"No need, it's a small matter."
"Then let's add each other as friends." Xiang Wu had never been so attentive to anyone before. "If there's any problem with my car in the future, I can ask you about it."
Yuntan couldn't refuse Xiangwu's kindness, so he and Xiangwu added each other as friends.
After charging for a while, she removed the jumper, screwed the screw back in, and put everything back in place.
She put one hand on the roof of the car, bent her back slightly, and said to Xiang Wu with a smile, "Bye, have a safe trip." Then she closed the car door for her and turned to walk into the company.
Xiang Wu held a heart and felt its violent beating.
So beautiful, so handsome!
Why does Yuan Qinrong have such a charming daughter? Then he thought that Yuntan was not Yuan Qinrong's biological daughter. He felt that everything made sense and nodded in approval.
She began to understand why her brother was suffering from unrequited love.
After the inexplicable question "Can you repair cars?", Lu Wangshan received another message from Xiang Wu.
"Brother, I agree to this marriage."
…
Lu Wangshan didn't reply to her.
After Lu Wangshan hung up the phone, he once again did not reply to her message.
This time, Xiang Wu didn't feel angry. She just thought that it was no wonder that the girl looked down on her brother with his temper.
It all depends on her.
It just so happened that her birthday was coming up, which was a perfect opportunity.
After the deal is done, she will have to ask her brother to buy her a new car. She has recently fallen in love with the Pagani Zonda Cinque.
The next day, Xiang Wu sent a message to Yun Tan, asking if she was free to attend his birthday party.
Yun Tan was confused for a long time when she received this message. She couldn't imagine Xiang Wu's familiarity. They only knew each other while repairing cars, so how could they have reached the stage of attending a birthday party?
But she had something to do today.
After the final review of the project was confirmed, Huang Youwei invited everyone to drink, calling it team building.
This time Yuntan and Lisen couldn't refuse, so they had to go together.
Yun Tan replied: "Sorry, I have a dinner with my colleagues today and can't come. Happy birthday to you."
Xiang Wu: "Thank you, but where are you having dinner?"
Yun Tan felt strange, but didn't think much about it and sent the bar location to Xiang Wu.
Xiang Wu originally planned to hold tonight's party at Jin Ci's store, but now he temporarily changed it to the bar that Yun Tan was going to and sent a group message to everyone.
