"Really?" Jiang Xuanxuan, basking in the glory that wasn't rightfully hers, snuggled sweetly into Lu Ting's arms. "If that's the case, then that's wonderful~"
"Ah Ting, do you know how much I've lost hair because of all this worry about the art exhibition?"
"That's why I wanted to take a walk in the rain, listen to the sound of the rain, and relieve some stress~"
Speaking of walking in the rain, Lu Ting suddenly realized: "Why hasn't Yu Sijin brought an umbrella yet? Doesn't he know we're waiting here? Calling him useless is an understatement!"
As he spoke, he picked up his phone again: "I'll call him again."
But before the call could even go through, a dark black sports car—a Lamborghini Night Star—stopped in front of the hotel.
The car body is inlaid with Swarovski crystals, which sparkle in the dark night like stars in the Milky Way.
The moment Jiang Xuanxuan saw the car, her heart skipped a beat, and her eyes widened.
That's... way too rich!
She'd had her eye on this car for a long time, but Lu Ting just wouldn't buy it for her.
If someone like that could be on the list, they would be far superior to Lu Ting.
Jiang Xuanxuan unconsciously swallowed, her eyes drooling, when she saw the car door open and a handsome and dashing man slowly step out.
The exquisitely tailored suit accentuated his near-perfect physique, while the pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, gleaming with a cold light, made him appear even more sharp-eyed, mature, and composed.
He looks so good, a perfect eligible bachelor!
Jiang Xuanxuan quickly tidied her appearance and distanced herself from Lu Ting, afraid that the man might misunderstand something.
But the next moment, she heard Lu Ting's joyful voice beside her: "Uncle!"
Little...little uncle?
Jiang Xuanxuan was stunned again. He was Lu Ting's uncle, the world's richest man?
Before she could react, Lu Ting put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her over: "Uncle, why are you back so fast? Let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend."
Jiang Xuanxuan nodded, but inwardly she was extremely disgusted—Lu Ting was such an idiot, introducing her like this, how was she supposed to snag a rich bachelor?
Even if I can't be your legal wife, I can at least be your mistress!
It's better than being Lu Ting's girlfriend!
"That's great, Lu Ting is really promising."
Finally, Yu Linyuan spoke in a deep voice, his slender eyes slightly curved, revealing neither joy nor anger, but the low pressure emanating from him sent chills down one's spine.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner when my sister died? You were quick to introduce me to your girlfriend, though."
"Since you're faster, I, as your elder, can't lose, right?"
Realizing that he was in a bad mood, Lu Ting panicked and quickly changed his tune, explaining, "No, Uncle!"
He pointed at Jiang Xuanxuan: "I was originally staying with my mother, but my girlfriend couldn't get back from the hotel, so I came to pick her up..."
"So, you drove here and then forced someone to bring you an umbrella?"
In one sentence, his lies were exposed and shattered.
Lu Ting's heart leaped into his throat, and even his breathing became erratic.
How did his uncle know he had someone deliver an umbrella?
How did that good-for-nothing Yu Sijin manage to contact her uncle...?
Yu Linyuan habitually adjusted his glasses, ignoring his unpleasant expression, and continued, "You made me miss my sister's funeral, so tomorrow, the Lu family will collapse."
"It's nothing serious. I just wanted to let you know that we should start the bankruptcy process as soon as possible. Goodbye."
