Wen Lu held the piece of paper in her hand and said thank you softly. She didn't say anything else, because she was really worried that if she said too much, she would accidentally laugh.
Just then, the bell rang for class, and everyone returned to their seats, except for Dong Zhimeng, who looked at Wen Lu with a worried expression.
Wen Lu met Dong Zhimeng's doe-like eyes, smiled gently, wrote the word "Don't worry" on the note, took out her phone from her pocket, and began browsing the news with her head down.
She received the news early this morning that the Xiao family was preparing a press conference to announce that Xiao Ran had been kicked out of the Xiao family. Why is there still no news?
Just as Wen Lu was searching for news, a message popped up on her phone. Wen Lu clicked on it, looked at the content, and smiled with satisfaction.
She was now very much looking forward to seeing how Su Yu would react after learning the news, and how the Wen family couple would react.
She has done everything she needed to do, and now she just hopes that the little one can rest easy.
When the first class ended, another shocking piece of news came from outside: Su Yu had suddenly fainted during class and had been taken to the hospital.
The school was worried about delaying Su Yu's treatment, so they did not call 120. Instead, the grade director personally took her there.
"Su Yu's body is so delicate. How come she's the one who faints so easily now? Does being the eldest daughter of the Wen family mean that everyone is in poor health?"
As everyone discussed the issue, their gazes unconsciously fell on Wen Lu. Wen Lu smiled faintly at their gazes and didn't say anything more. She really couldn't explain this kind of thing.
When it was time for school to end, Wen Lu took the leave slip and put Dong Zhimeng in Sun Xin's car. This time, Wen Lu specifically instructed Sun Xin not to drive the previous car, but to find a more ordinary car, so as not to be targeted by people with ulterior motives.
Just after seeing Dong Zhimeng off, a pink Panamera stopped in front of Wen Lu, and the sound of its brakes attracted a lot of attention.
Wen Lu bent down, looked through the lowered car window, and saw the person in the driver's seat. She wasn't surprised at all. She felt that this color really suited Gu Yao's temperament. If one day she wasn't so flamboyant, Wen Lu might think she was sick.
Wen Lu smiled slightly at Gu Yao, casually opened the back door and tossed Xiao Qi's backpack onto the back seat, then opened the passenger door and sat down, speaking in a nonchalant tone.
"You're pretty punctual."
"Of course I'll be on time to pick you up. I've been looking forward to it at home for a long time. I even brought a car before I came to pick you up. Do you have a driver's license? If you like, I can give it to you."
Gu Yao revved the engine and drove away from the school gate. She didn't drive fast, probably out of consideration for Wen Lu's health, fearing that driving too aggressively would be bad for Wen Lu's heart.
Wen Lu watched Gu Yao drive away, raised an eyebrow lightly, and lazily nestled in the seat, one hand on the car door, speaking in a very relaxed manner.
"You just threw in a Panamera like that, that's a bit too extravagant. You're not planning on doing me a favor, are you?"
Wen Lu knew that Gu Yao was always generous, but only when she was drunk. She hadn't even had a drink yet, but she was saying such generous things, which really surprised Wen Lu.
Hearing Wen Lu's languid tone, Gu Yao turned her head and unconsciously looked at Wen Lu, a smile that hadn't been seen in a long time curving her lips. Wen Lu's relaxed demeanor gave her the feeling of meeting an old friend.
"Of course it's because you're worth it. I got news this morning that the W organization really gave the Shadow Alliance a batch of goods, and they're the most advanced ones at that. Although the price wasn't cheap, it was only because of you. If it weren't for you, we probably wouldn't have gotten this batch of goods."
Gu Yao didn't treat Wen Lu as an outsider. She casually revealed such a secret. Anyway, she had already figured it out. Even if she didn't say it, Wang Jinyu would definitely tell her. Sooner or later, they would find out, so there wasn't much difference.
Hearing Gu Yao's words, Wen Lu nodded in agreement. If it were based on such merit, she would indeed deserve the car, but it wasn't her preferred style.
"You should drive this car yourself. I'll be staying at school for a while and won't need a car yet. Besides, your car is too flashy; I don't like it."
"Okay, since you don't like it, I'll give you a different gift next time. I have a friend who really loves diamonds. I recently acquired a pale yellow diamond, so I'll give it to you. Anyway, my friend is no longer with us."
Gu Yao, who was initially very excited, became dejected after thinking about her friend who liked diamonds. Wen Lu simply looked at Gu Yao with indifferent eyes, sensing a probing tone in Gu Yao's words.
She wondered if Gu Yao had suddenly become smarter and noticed something was wrong with her.
At this moment, the atmosphere inside the car was a bit strange. Gu Yao glanced at Wen Lu out of the corner of her eye, waiting for Wen Lu's reaction. The next second, she heard Wen Lu speak in a cold tone: "A gentleman does not take what others love. Diamonds are useless to me. You should keep them for your friend. Treat me to a meal today as your way of thanking me."
Wen Lu wouldn't fall for the trap. She liked diamonds, but she wouldn't expose her identity for a small diamond. Besides, she was sure that Gu Yao would treasure that diamond. She could take it back after she regained her identity. In any case, it would be hers sooner or later.
Seeing Wen Lu's indifferent attitude, Gu Yao was completely bewildered. She felt that Wen Lu was like a phantom, yet not quite, which left her utterly confused.
The car stopped outside a high-end restaurant. Wen Lu and Gu Yao got out of the car together, and a valet immediately came over. Gu Yao gave the valet some instructions and then led Wen Lu into the restaurant.
When Wen Lu and Gu Yao entered the restaurant, they were greeted by Wen Xingwan sitting in a wheelchair. Wen Xingwan looked at Wen Lu with sharp eyes, she hadn't expected to see Wen Lu here.
Seeing Wen Xingwan glaring at Wen Lu with hatred in her eyes, Gu Yao, standing beside Wen Lu, also looked puzzled. She leaned close to Wen Lu's ear and whispered, "What? Do you know this woman?"
Looking at Wen Xingwan sitting in the wheelchair, Wen Lu simply smiled slightly, then shook her head and said in a very cold tone, "I don't know her, she's just a clown."
