Xiao Wu's worst fears came true.
He just couldn't understand how it could be such a coincidence.
"Miss, I'll go call President Lu." Xiao Wu was seething with anger.
"No need," Yun Suiwan called out to him, turning her back to him. "Just wait here."
The Gu family's butler, being quite sensible, said, "Miss Yun, please wait a moment while I go and deliver a message."
"Year-end?" Gu Fanyan and Lu Dongjue had already walked out the door.
Yun Suiwan turned around and immediately met Lu Dongjue's gaze.
His gaze was filled with indifference and detachment, and after a few seconds, he turned his gaze away.
Yun Suiwan felt as if she had been pricked by a needle in her heart, but she was unwilling to show any abnormality in front of others.
"It's so late, is something urgent?" Gu Fanyan asked.
“That’s right.” Yun Suiwan asked directly, “Lu Dongjue, you know where Sheng Nanyin is, right? Tell me the address.”
Her gaze held a threat.
Lu Dongjue immediately understood what she meant; she was being polite in her question.
If he doesn't tell the truth, she doesn't mind letting Gu Fanyan know how he defends her in front of Huo Beichen.
This woman actually dared to threaten him!
Upon hearing the name Sheng Nanyin, Gu Fanyan's eyes flickered subtly, almost imperceptibly.
“I do know,” Lu Dongjue replied, “but that was half a month ago. I don’t know where she is now.”
As he spoke, he curled his lips in a mocking smile: "The trick I used to fool Huo Beichen, I didn't expect it to fool you."
Yun Suiwan didn't believe what he said, but to her surprise, Lu Dongjue's ability to deceive people had greatly improved.
"Do you not know, or do you not want to say?" Yun Suiwan glanced at Gu Fanyan meaningfully, "or is it inconvenient to say?"
Faced with her deliberate provocation, Lu Dongjue remained calm and composed, as if he hadn't heard a thing.
“At the end of the year,” Gu Fanyan said, “if Dongjue knew, he would definitely tell you, after all, we’ve known each other for so long.”
These words were a direct accusation that Yun Suiwan was being unreasonable and had ulterior motives.
Gu Fanyan is different from Sun Yanwan and Jiang Sisi. She speaks with veiled barbs and is best at making indirect criticisms.
Yun Suiwan took a deep breath. She wasn't going to beat around the bush with Gu Fanyan. "Gu Fanyan, do you know what's going on? You're just pretending to be magnanimous and playing peacemaker? Let me tell you, there are some things you simply can't resolve, like my matter, Yun Suiwan's matter."
Then she launched a scathing attack on Lu Dongjue: "I came to ask you just to save myself some trouble. Don't think I have to beg you. The world is only so big. If I want to find someone, I can do it myself."
After saying that, she turned and left, and Xiao Wu immediately followed her.
Gu Fanyan was rebuked, and her expression naturally turned sour. However, Lu Dongjue, who was standing next to her, remained calm.
“It wasn’t like this when I was a child…” she began painfully.
"I haven't seen her for a long time. I only heard that she became the sole heir of the Yun family. I didn't expect that when we met again, she would be different from before."
As she spoke, she sighed softly, "Perhaps I'm too conservative in my thinking and can't accept that the world is changing too fast."
Lu Dongjue's eyes darkened. "It's not your problem."
"It's late, you should get some rest." He didn't want to say anything more.
Gu Fanyan stood at the door for a long time until Lu Dongjue disappeared from sight before turning around and going home.
"My dear," Gu's mother said, still waiting for her, "Are you and Lu Dongjue serious?"
Gu Fanyan smiled: "Of course, do I look like someone who jokes about feelings? I'm not a bad girl."
“But I don’t think Lu Dongjue and Yun Suiwan are that simple.” A hint of worry flashed across Gu’s mother’s eyes.
Gu Fanyan disagreed, "Mom, you're just insecure about your daughter's charm."
She raised her arm and put it around her mother's shoulder from the side. "Mom, it's late. You should go to sleep early, or you'll get wrinkles."
Gu's mother gave her a reproachful look, "If you stop making your mother worry, my wrinkles will naturally decrease."
After escorting her mother to her bedroom, Gu Fanyan returned to her own room.
Instead of washing up and going to bed immediately, she curled up on the large chaise lounge, looking exhausted.
The lighter clicked, its light illuminating her weary eyes in the darkness.
She lit a cigarette, exhaled deeply, and her face, surrounded by smoke, exuded a sense of dejection... a stark contrast to the radiant and glamorous Miss Gu of the day.
They even had trouble distinguishing who the real Gu Fanyan was.
The car sped along the highway.
Yun Suiwan made several phone calls and arranged for the search for Sheng Nanyin.
Xiao Wu couldn't help but say, "Miss, please don't blame me for being nosy, but in terms of competence, our people are no worse than President Lu's. Why don't we find a way to do it ourselves?"
He felt indignant on behalf of the young lady. She was such a good person, so why did Lu Dongjue have to be so cold to her?
Yun Suiwan smiled and said, "I'm just figuring out a way myself."
Xiao Wu scratched his ear. "I overheard you on the phone just now, you were telling people to keep an eye on President Lu."
Yun Suiwan's smile held a hint of mystery: "That's called strategy."
"Strategy?"
"In short, remember this: keep an eye on Lu Dongjue, and you'll find Sheng Nanyin."
Yun Suiwan did not believe what Lu Dongjue had just said; Sheng Nanyin must be in Lu Dongjue's hands.
That evening, Yun Sui received a call from Grandpa Lu, who kindly invited her to make a trip, as he had asked someone to bring her some things from abroad.
Yun Suiwan replied politely, "Thank you, Grandpa Lu. I'm a bit busy today, so I'll have Assistant Ye go and get it."
Grandpa Lu laughed and said, "It's been quite a while since I've seen you, Yun'er has become distant with me."
Yun Suiwan couldn't bear such words, so she had to make the trip herself.
Grandpa Lu and a few friends were relaxing and having fun in a teahouse, playing chess around a table.
As soon as she stepped inside, she saw that familiar figure: Lu Dongjue.
Then, Gu Fanyan, who was standing next to him, came into her view.
She suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, as if she couldn't breathe.
Gu Fanyan also noticed her, and looked surprised: "Suiwan, you're here too?"
Her tone was one of surprise, as if she had timed it perfectly.
Grandpa Lu looked up when he heard the voice, and then smiled and said, "Yun girl, you've finally arrived. Come here quickly."
Grandpa Lu added, "I sent Yun'er here. I didn't expect Dongjue to come to see me too. You two are together now."
Gu Fanyan pursed her lips slightly.
Lu Dongjue clearly brought her to see his grandfather, but Grandpa Lu's words and actions didn't mention her at all.
Lu Dongjue's gaze was indifferent, as if it were none of his business.
"Grandpa Lu." Yun Suiwan stepped forward to greet him, glancing around at the people at the table.
They were all around the same age as Grandpa Lu, except for one who was about 20 years younger than him.
"Yun girl, you're too thin." Grandpa Lu looked at her with concern. "You should eat more."
Then he called to his assistant, "Quickly move the things to Miss Yun's car."
Grandpa Lu had someone bring back top-quality health supplements. His three assistants made three trips, but they still couldn't finish carrying them all.
"Yun girl, you need to take better care of your health." Grandpa Lu looked at Yun Suiwan with heartache.
