Lu Fan was sleep-deprived, but after being woken up, he couldn't fall back asleep.
Listening to the birds chirping outside the window, he got up, washed up, and dressed, wondering whether he should go back to the company today.
And as for Mr. Li, after the eavesdropping equipment was "lost," I wonder if he slept well that night.
And when they might lose their temper and come to plead for mercy.
Thinking about all this, Lu Fan's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he looked towards the familiar figure outside the window.
In an instant, several doubts flashed through my mind.
He actually saw Gu Ying, who had just gotten engaged to Wang Ye yesterday, outside his own villa?
What's going on?!
Lu Fan angrily dialed A Yong's number:
"What's going on with the people outside?"
It's unclear how long Gu Ying stood on the tree-lined path leading into the villa.
Ah Yong's tone was stiff and emotionless:
"Mr. Lu, Ms. Gu arrived in the early hours of the morning. We informed your wife, but she said we didn't need to worry about her."
"Oh, by the way, Mrs. Lu said that if you wake up, you can handle it yourself."
The banquet ended in the early hours of the morning, but Gu Ying had obviously arrived outside the Lu residence after the banquet.
When A Yong notified his employer Lu Fan, it happened to be the latter's bedtime routine of washing up.
It was Mrs. Lu, Jiang Manyue, who answered the phone.
However, the hostess was clearly unhappy about Ms. Gu's visit and told A Yong not to pay any attention to her, saying that she could stand there for as long as she wanted.
Even this morning when Mrs. Lu got up to go to work, Ms. Gu was still lingering outside the Lu residence and refused to leave.
When they saw Lu's car drive out of the villa, they even went up to it.
When Ms. Gu saw that the person sitting in the car was not Lu Fan but his wife Jiang Manyue, her expression turned quite unpleasant.
If it weren't for the bodyguards accompanying her, Ms. Gu would have argued with Mrs. Lu on the spot and even tried to break into the Lu family villa.
Ah Yong was furious and wanted to give Ms. Gu an over-the-shoulder throw. Mrs. Lu, however, coldly smiled and said she'd leave this to Mr. Lu to deal with.
But it gave Ah Yong a lot of courage, and afterwards he still had to diligently act as a mouthpiece for the couple.
Ah Yong secretly thought it was a waste of his talents. He even wanted to apply to his brother Li to be transferred back. He would rather sit in the office, which was extremely boring, than be a little toy for his in-laws here!
At this moment, Lu Fan was both astonished and amused when he heard A Yong's message.
As if he could hear Ah Yong's thoughts, Lu Fan shook his head and smiled wryly, then instructed Ah Yong:
"Thank you so much for your help these past two days. Please send me the bill when you order lunch at Yuelin Road."
The upscale restaurant on Yuelin Road costs over a thousand yuan per person. Lu Fan plans to treat A Yong and his team to a meal as a reward and gesture of appreciation to these guys.
Ah Yong then stopped his resentful and grumbling expression and went to greet his brothers with a big smile.
Unlike A Yong, Lu Fan couldn't simply wash his hands of the matter. After thinking for a moment, he decided to personally go downstairs to meet Gu Ying outside the villa.
"Miss Gu, what have I, Lin, done to offend you by visiting so late at night and causing such a scene in broad daylight?"
Ultimately, Lu Fan and Gu Ying didn't have any major conflicts that involved knives or guns.
However, Gu Ying's frequent disturbances displeased Jiang Manyue and caused Lu Fan a lot of trouble.
To be honest, Lu Fan didn't really like this arrogant young lady.
After speaking in a particularly harsh tone, Gu Ying, who had her back to him, finally turned around.
Yet, her face was streaked with tears, two streaks of tears clearly visible on her bright and beautiful features, a sight too painful to behold.
She didn't retaliate against Lu Fan with cold words, nor did she cry or scream. She just looked pitiful and told him about her grievances with tearful eyes.
Although she was still hurt by Lu Fan's attitude, Gu Ying wiped away her tears, bit her lip, and said through teary eyes:
"Lu Fan, I... I'm here to apologize to you. I didn't do things right before and upset you."
Lu Fan frowned, unsure of Gu Ying's intentions or what she was up to.
Seeing that Lu Fan ignored her words, Gu Ying felt even more aggrieved.
Her pale face looked very haggard because she had come here in the early hours of the morning.
Gu Ying gestured towards the beautiful flower bushes by the roadside and said in a trembling voice, "These flowers are so beautiful and carefully nurtured, but who knows that the moment they are picked, they are already destined to wither?"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, sensing the hidden meaning in Gu Ying's words:
"Miss Gu's flowers will wither no matter what, and perhaps the flowers picked will last even longer."
"Moreover, if I remember correctly, it was not Lin who arranged or facilitated this matter."
"If you have any complaints, you should go to Old Master Gu and the old patriarch of the Wang family."
Gu Ying looked at him, her voice choked with sobs:
"You...you knew all along...but I didn't want this to happen, it wasn't my intention."
"Yes, I admit that at the beginning, I had the intention of marrying into your family."
"But why can't I fight for it myself?"
