Wen Lu walked out of the Xiao family villa, took out her phone from her pocket, answered the unknown number, and said in a cold tone, "Hello, who is this?"
“Miss Wen? I don’t know if you remember me. I’m the owner of that Audi from last time.”
Gu Jingkun wanted to swear the moment the call connected, but after hearing Wen Lu's voice, he swallowed the words he was about to utter.
He had to admit that hearing that cold voice had greatly diminished most of his anger.
Seeing this scene, Liang Ze, who was standing next to Gu Jingkun, choked on his saliva and coughed loudly.
When had he ever seen his master like this? What's wrong with his master?
Hearing Liang Ze cough beside him, Gu Jingkun glared at him. Liang Ze immediately covered his mouth and ran away. He dared not linger any longer; his master's unusual behavior was a bit frightening.
Wen Lu picked up her phone from her ear, looked at the unfamiliar phone number on the screen, and frowned deeply. She didn't know how that person had found her.
Thinking of this, Wen Lu remembered the bounty on the black market website. She frowned and asked with some annoyance, "Did you also post the bounty on the black market website?"
"Ah, I knew you weren't as simple as you seemed! You even know about the black market, so all those messages about you must be fake. Wen Lu, let's meet. I have something I want to talk to you about in person."
Gu Jingkun became excited the moment he heard Wen Lu's question. He knew he hadn't misjudged her and that all the information about Wen Lu was false.
"I have no interest, and don't investigate me anymore, or I'll strip you bare, leaving you with nothing but your underwear."
Wen Lu spoke in a low, cool voice, but because her voice was soft and sweet, no one felt threatened at all, especially Gu Jingkun, who was now completely engrossed.
"Don't be like this. I really have something to tell you. Do you want to know what your grandfather's will was? Your adoptive father actually wanted to kill you because of that will!"
Gu Jingkun didn't take Wen Lu's warning to heart. Instead, he was eager to share what he had found out with Wen Lu. He just wanted to see Wen Lu one more time.
However, Wen Lu was not interested in what he was talking about. She was already investigating the will and would have a result soon. As for Wen Zhengnan wanting to kill her, she was not interested either. If Wen Zhengnan could do it, then he would be quite capable.
However, she was somewhat interested in how this man knew she was the adopted daughter of the Wen family, but that wasn't the reason she went to see him.
"I'm not interested. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up. Please don't bother me again."
Without waiting for Gu Jingkun to speak again, Wen Lu hung up the phone.
Xiao Ran finished dressing and came out of the villa, only to hear Wen Lu's last words. He frowned involuntarily and spoke in a cold tone.
"From now on, stay away from shady people. Su Yu just messaged me saying you got into trouble outside. You're just a young girl, why can't you learn from Su Yu and be more trustworthy? Don't think that just because you're feeling better, you can do whatever you want."
When Xiao Ran looked at Wen Lu, he showed a disdainful expression, but his words still sounded like he was doing it for her own good.
Wen Lu looked at Xiao Ran, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"Xiao Ran, I have never seen such a shameless person as you. When you asked me for a favor, you had a fawning expression. Now that the favor is done and I helped you and Su Yu keep it a secret from Grandma Xiao, you immediately changed your expression. You are really something else."
After Wen Lu finished speaking, she didn't even glance at Xiao Ran. She straightened her clothes, lifted her leg, and walked towards the gate.
She felt nauseous just looking at Xiao Ran, and the idea of taking his car home vanished instantly.
As Wen Lu walked out of the Xiao family villa, a taxi drove past her. Wen Lu frowned involuntarily as she looked at the familiar taxi.
Just then, the taxi that had already driven past turned back and stopped in front of Wen Lu.
"Little girl, we meet again! What are you doing here? Where are you going this time? Want a ride in my car?"
The driver leaned out of the car window and looked at Wen Lu with a kind smile on his face and joy in his eyes. He hadn't expected to see Wen Lu here.
Wen Lu stood there, looking at the taxi driver, feeling somewhat helpless. She wondered why the world was so small, and why she always seemed to encounter the same taxi.
Wen Lu glanced at Xiao Ran, who was chasing after her, opened the taxi driver's door, and got into the taxi.
The taxi driver looked at Xiao Ran, who had chased after him, with a gossipy expression on his face. He sat up straight, started the car, and looked at Wen Lu's beautiful but somewhat pale face through the rearview mirror.
"Young lady, did you have a fight with your boyfriend? He seems like a pretty good guy. There's no need for two young people to get really angry over a fight, or you'll regret it when someone else takes such a good boyfriend away!"
Wen Lu listened to the driver's rambling and was so angry that she laughed. She raised her eyes and glanced at the driver indifferently, saying in a nonchalant tone, "A scumbag like him, whoever wants him can grab him quickly, I don't care."
After saying that, Wen Lu took out her earphones from her pocket, put them in her ears, closed her eyes, and ignored the driver.
The driver was also a perceptive person; he could tell that Wen Lu was angry, so he wisely shut his mouth and stopped talking.
The taxi stopped outside the gate of the Wen family villa. Wen Lu glanced at the taxi's timer, took out her phone, scanned the code to pay, and got out of the car without saying another word.
The driver watched Wen Lu's departing figure and sighed softly, "Sigh, that girl is good in every way, except for her temper..."
As soon as Wen Lu entered the Wen family villa, she saw Wen Zhengnan and Chu Qin sitting in the living room. She unconsciously looked around but did not see Su Yu.
"Instead of resting at home, you're out running around again. Why are you so restless, always causing trouble outside?"
When Wen Zhengnan saw Wen Lu walk in from outside, he coldly rebuked Wen Lu and slammed the cup in his hand onto the coffee table, where it shattered.
Wen Lu smiled faintly as she looked at Wen Zhengnan's eagerness to break off relations. She never expected Wen Zhengnan to be so impatient.
“It was Xiao Ran who took me to the Xiao family. He came to me himself and begged me to go see Grandma Xiao. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Xiao Ran yourself.”
