Based on Gu Yao's understanding of Wen Lu, and Wen Lu's attitude towards the Yan family, she knew that Wen Lu was willing to acknowledge her as a relative only because she had inherited Wen Lu's body. As for other matters, she had no interest in them at all.
"What's wrong with her acting so strangely today?"
Yan Luo still couldn't understand why Wen Lu was behaving so strangely today; this unusual behavior made her very uneasy.
At this moment, everyone fell silent. They simply couldn't guess why Wen Lu had become like this, and found it utterly incomprehensible.
Wen Lu and Wang Jinyu ran into Wen Zhengnan at the mall. Wen Zhengnan was with a young woman, whom Wen Lu recognized as Su Yu's violin teacher.
However, Wen Lu chose to ignore Wen Zhengnan, believing that after leaving the Wen family, she had no further connection with him.
Looking at Wen Lu's retreating figure, Wen Zhengnan was filled with regret. If he had known that Wen Lu had so many hidden skills, he would never have let Wen Lu leave the Wen family. To the Wen family, Wen Lu was much more useful than Su Yu.
Thinking of Su Yu, Wen Zhengnan's face darkened even more. Ever since Su Yu disappeared that night, news about her seemed to have vanished without a trace. Not only could they not find any trace of Su Yu, but they also knew nothing about whether she was alive or dead. He couldn't touch any of the assets in Su Yu's account, and he was really worried to death.
The woman beside Wen Zhengnan seemed to notice his emotional fluctuations. She gently scratched his palm twice and spoke in a coquettish voice.
"Zhengnan, what are you looking at? Aren't we here to look at diamond rings?"
Hearing that coquettish voice, Wen Zhengnan's thoughts instantly returned, and he smiled gently at the woman.
"Yes, we've come to look at diamond rings. Come on, I'll take you to see some diamond rings."
Wen Zhengnan didn't answer the woman's question, but instead pulled her towards the jewelry counter. The woman unconsciously turned her head to look in Wen Lu's direction, her beautiful and delicate eyes narrowing slightly, already classifying Wen Lu as a vixen.
As Wen Lu walked in another direction, she listened to the conversation between the two behind her and smiled slightly. She thought men were really heartless. Chu Qin had only been dead for a few days, and Wen Zhengnan was already preparing to marry a new wife. She wondered what Wen Moyuan would think after he found out about this.
Wen Lu bought some nutritional supplements at the mall and then went to the Xiao family home with Wang Jinyu. As soon as Wen Lu entered the Xiao family's living room, she saw Xiao Ran excitedly coming downstairs. However, when Xiao Ran saw Wen Lu and Wang Jinyu holding hands tightly, he involuntarily staggered for a moment, but he quickly recovered.
"Grandma is still taking a nap. Wait here for a while. She'll probably wake up soon. What would you like to drink? Milk tea or... or cocoa?"
Xiao Ran almost asked Wen Lu if she wanted coffee a few days ago, but just as he was about to say it, he remembered that Wen Lu wasn't feeling well...
Thinking of this, Xiao Ran unconsciously recalled their past story. Su Yu deliberately bought Wen Lu a cup of coffee, and when Wen Lu refused, Xiao Ran saw Su Yu's aggrieved expression and even lost his temper with Wen Lu.
From that time on, when they went out together, Wen Lu never made any demands anymore. Her quiet and unambitious demeanor now fills him with heartache when he thinks back on it. He was the one who personally stifled Wen Lu's innocence.
"A latte and a glass of warm water, please."
After Wen Lu finished speaking, she turned her head and smiled gently at Wang Jinyu. She naturally rested her head on Wang Jinyu's shoulder, and the two of them held hands even tighter.
Xiao Ran's throat tightened as she looked at their intertwined hands and Wen Lu nestled beside Wang Jinyu. She never imagined that she would be heartbroken by seeing such a scene. Such happiness had been right in front of him before, but he had destroyed it with his own hands.
Seeing Xiao Ran's unusual behavior, the butler immediately responded and then turned to instruct the kitchen to prepare a latte and a glass of warm water.
"No wonder the magpies have been chirping in my yard all day. It turns out Lulu has come over! Has Auntie been here long? Why didn't you just have the housekeeper wake me up?"
"No, I just arrived not long ago. I happened to have some time today, so I brought my boyfriend to visit Grandma Xiao. I promised Grandma Xiao last time that I would bring him over when I had time."
As she spoke, Wen Lu pulled Wang Jinyu to his feet, and Old Madam Xiao looked at Wang Jinyu and nodded in satisfaction.
“Not bad, not bad. Lulu is a girl with good taste. Your boyfriend is good. He is gentle and refined. He can be told that he comes from a family with excellent upbringing. If you are with him, Grandma will not have to worry about you being wronged.”
Grandma Xiao's eyes remained fixed on Wang Jinyu. As she looked at him, she nodded with satisfaction. Her grandson, whom she had always been so proud of, paled in comparison to this man.
Hearing Grandma Xiao's praise, Wang Jinyu smiled modestly and nodded slightly to her.
"Thank you for your praise, Grandma Xiao. Wen Lu told me that you are an elder she greatly respects, and it is my honor to bring me here to visit you today."
"Good, good, good, this child is good. You two have such a sweet tongue. You should both sit down. You're being too reserved. I've noticed that Lulu's complexion seems to have improved a lot lately. How have you been feeling lately?"
"Everything has been better since you left the Wen family. It was Grandma who was confused back then. She should have taken custody of you after your grandfather passed away. That way, Wen Zhengnan and Chu Qin wouldn't have had the chance to hurt you!"
Hearing Old Madam Xiao's angry words, Wen Lu just smiled gently, shook her head slightly, and spoke in a soft tone.
“How can you blame Grandma for this? I’ve lived in the Wen family for so many years, and I don’t know why they would treat me like this. I was so naive to think that they had always treated me like family.”
"I only realized how little I could tolerate an outsider like me in this family after Su Yu revealed her ambition."
"But it's all better now. I've left the Wen family and someone is taking care of me. I'm really happy, and Grandma doesn't have to worry about me anymore."
When Wen Lu spoke, she was all smiles. She didn't even glance at Xiao Ran, but she knew that Xiao Ran's gaze was always on her.
After hearing Wen Lu's words, Old Madam Xiao understood what he meant. She glanced at Xiao Ran standing to the side without showing any emotion, and sighed softly. How could she not know that Xiao Ran regretted it? But what good was regret? He no longer had any feelings for her.
