Chapter 26 Escalation of Conflict



Everyone exchanged bewildered glances. They had assumed Yun Suiwan had schemed to obtain the title of "Mrs. Lu," but now it seemed the two of them had a perfectly good relationship.

Yun Manzhu glared at Yun Wanqing. Didn't she say that Lu Dongjue didn't like Yun Suiwan at all?

Now they're standing up for her and giving her a bank card, what does this mean?

Don't think she didn't notice; Lu Dongjue gave her a gold card exclusive to the Lu family!

"Let's go!" Yun Manzhu looked at Yun Suiwan, unable to swallow her anger.

Yun Suiwan was inferior to her in every way and had a weak temper, but unexpectedly she suddenly soared to great heights and became a phoenix.

Everyone else left with Yun Manzhu.

At this moment, only Yun Suiwan and Yun Wanqing remained in the living room.

Yun Wanqing stood up, glaring fiercely at Yun Suiwan. "How did you manage to seduce him? He clearly told me that your marriage was a sham!"

Yun Wanqing also misunderstood the relationship between Lu Dongjue and Yun Suiwan.

Yun Suiwan said calmly, "You believe what men say?"

Yun Wanqing was furious and ran away, covering her mouth and sobbing.

Yun Suiwan sighed. She had only intended to put on a show of bravado in front of Yun Manzhu, but unexpectedly, Lu Dongjue turned back.

Now, it's anyone's guess when their relationship will improve.

Just as Yun Suiwan was about to go upstairs, her phone rang.

The person who answered the phone was none other than Old Master Lu.

—Yun girl, are you free to have dinner with this old man tonight?

The kind voice of Grandpa Lu came from the other end of the phone.

—Grandpa, of course I'm free.

—Okay, I'll have the driver pick you up now.

--good.

I'll definitely see Lu Dongjue at dinner tonight; I'll explain to him then.

**

The Lu family's old residence.

Inside the study, Lu Dongjue, Shen Xinghui, and Lin Zhibai were chatting.

"Dongjue, what's wrong with you? Didn't you say yesterday that you were going to teach Wanwan a lesson? How come you're acting like a knight in shining armor now?"

Lin Zhibai leaned against the desk, his hair styled with mousse, looking nonchalant.

Lu Dongjue's face was gloomy as he said, "I'm sick."

"Uh... Brother, it's not that serious. Wanwan is your fiancée, you should side with her."

"I'm telling you, you're not really falling for Wanwan, are you? The way you acted last night, it didn't seem like you were joking."

That possessiveness and controlling nature is so intense it makes people blush.

"Heh, do you think I'd be interested in a woman like her?" Lu Dongjue sneered, speaking indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xinghui and Lin Zhibai exchanged a glance.

"You and her..."

"Even if all women in the world went extinct, I wouldn't want a woman like her. Last night was just for fun. Even if I don't like her, she's still my woman in name only, Lu Dongjue. Who dares to touch her?"

"Are you really just playing around with her? The way you treated her last night didn't seem like it was just playing around," Lin Zhibai asked, still unwilling to give up.

Lu Dongjue's eyes revealed a hint of sarcasm. "If it were any other woman, I would have done the same thing, but it would just be playing along."

"If you don't like her, why did you marry her? You're not the kind of person who would let yourself suffer."

"The old man is getting on in years, we can't let him worry. Let's get things done with her first, and when the time is right, we can give her some money to get rid of her."

Seeing Lu Dongjue's dashing appearance, Shen Xinghui couldn't help but speak up.

"Dongjue, she has feelings for you at the end of the year."

Lu Dongjue sneered dismissively, "Many people are interested in me, so what is she?"

Lu Dongjue rarely said such harsh words. Many women threw themselves at him, and even when they annoyed him, he never said anything hurtful.

He seemed somewhat cruel to Yun Suiwan.

Lin Chen and the other man exchanged a glance and then said nothing more.

Judging from his words, he harbored resentment towards Yun Suiwan. If he said any more, how awkward would it be for Yun Suiwan when they met?

**

Yun Suiwan wore a white dress tonight, her hair was styled in a high bun, and she wore a pearl necklace. She looked both noble and gentle.

She followed the Lu family's butler into the main house.

"Grandpa, I'm here."

When Grandpa Lu saw Yun Suiwan, he couldn't help but smile broadly. "Yun girl, you've kept me waiting for so long! Come here quickly!"

At this moment, Lu Dongjue's second and third uncles and their families were also in the Lu family's living room.

Yun Suiwan had met them before, so she greeted them politely, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt."

Lu Dongjue's uncles, like his father, were all academics.

My second and third uncles are both university teachers, and they are both very easygoing.

The second and third aunts were dressed very simply. They looked at Yun Suiwan with joy and nodded in satisfaction.

The second and third uncles, each wearing black-rimmed glasses, sat there quietly and nodded to Yun Suiwan.

"Yun girl, please sit down. Today, we're having a simple meal together as a family. Don't be shy."

Yun Suiwan's second and third aunts gave up their seats for her, and she sat between the two aunts.

"Grandpa, I understand."

"Alright, call the young master and the others down, let's get ready for dinner."

**

Then, Lu Dongjue, Lin Zhibai, and Shen Xinghui came down.

Yun Suiwan stood in the living room, looking up at Lu Dongjue upstairs. She realized she had been somewhat impolite with her words today.

She felt a little apologetic.

Unexpectedly, when Lu Dongjue saw her, he only glanced at her indifferently, and then sat down as if he hadn't seen her at all.

Yun Suiwan knew he was angry, so she didn't say anything. She followed him and sat down next to him.

Looking at her, Lu Dongjue recalled the smug look on her face when she spoke at the Yun family's house.

He seemed to be a bargaining chip for her to show off.

She acted reserved, proud, and unapproachable in front of him, but in reality, she longed to lie in his bed every day.

Grandpa Lu sat in the main seat, looking at his eldest grandson and granddaughter-in-law with satisfaction. Not bad, not bad, the two of them look very well-matched.

The Lu family ate quietly at the dinner table.

Grandpa Lu gave Lu Dongjue two meaningful glances, signaling him to serve food to Yun Suiwan, but Lu Dongjue ignored them completely.

Yun Suiwan thought to herself that she would explain things to Lu Dongjue properly after dinner. She was still preoccupied with her thoughts during the meal.

After dinner, Grandpa Lu said to Lu Dongjue, "Dongjue, take Yun'er for a walk around, and you two can also take a stroll."

Lu Dongjue responded with a lukewarm "Mm".

After saying that, Lu Dongjue left on his own, and Yun Suiwan quickly followed him.

He went straight out of the main house and into the courtyard.

Yun Suiwan followed quietly behind him, thinking about how to explain to him.

Suddenly, for some reason, Lu Dongjue stopped in his tracks, and Yun Suiwan, not paying attention, bumped directly into his back.

"Ugh..." Yun Suiwan gasped softly, clutching her aching forehead as she looked at Lu Dongjue.

Lu Dongjue's face showed a hint of mockery. "Yun Suiwan, your little tricks are truly endless."
