Lan Shuang didn't take it seriously. She pointed to the door outside and said, "You're home. Go back and have a good rest. It's best to take some hangover medicine. Can you get out of the car? Do you want me to help you?"
Jiang Lusheng shook his head. "I don't want to bother you with all that trouble. You sit down and I'll get off by myself."
"OK."
Lan Shuang watched Jiang Lusheng get out of the car and walk to the driver's side. She realized what he was going to do and immediately said, "You don't have to pay me. I'll ask him to take me there later—"
"I told you guys I'd treat you to dinner. There's no point asking you to pay for the car. That's so rude. If you want to treat me, do it next time."
Jiang Lusheng took out five hundred yuan and handed it to the driver, saying, "Take this lady home. The address is..."
The driver didn't expect to earn so much money on this trip. He grinned from ear to ear and patted his chest to assure, "No problem, don't worry, I will definitely take the lady back safely!"
Jiang Lusheng nodded, stood by the roadside and waved to Lan Shuang in the car with a faint smile on his face.
The sunlight fell on him, making him look as elegant as a medieval gentleman.
Lan Shuang was distracted for a moment. When she came to her senses, the car had turned around and left Jiang Lusheng's villa, and she could not see anything.
…
When Lan Shuang got home, she found a luxury car parked at the door. She raised her eyebrows. Is there a guest?
The housekeeper was standing by the gate waiting, and when he saw her come back, he immediately went to greet her: "Miss, you are finally back, someone is coming home."
Lan Shuang got out of the car and said to the driver, "Thank you for your hard work, Master. Now you can go."
The driver stared at the massive estate in front of him in shock. He was stunned for a long time. Halfway through the street, he was still sighing, "Oh my goodness, everyone here is so rich! It's like a dream!"
Lan Shuang and the others left before he went in with the housekeeper. "Who's here? I don't remember any appointments today."
The Lan family attaches great importance to rules. If they already have an appointment on that day, they will not allow other guests to come, so as not to entertain them poorly. So this person clearly came uninvited.
Those who come uninvited are not really good guests.
The housekeeper's tone was not very good either. "It's... it's someone from the Lu family. They said they came to apologize."
Lan Shuang paused slightly: "Lu family?"
"Yeah." The butler of the Lu family was very unhappy when he was mentioned. "This family hasn't given up yet. They insist that Lu Yihan is ignorant. We have already taught him a lesson and told him to break up with his girlfriend. They want him to apologize to the young lady and rekindle the relationship. I have never seen such a shameless person. Cheating is a fact. Can an apology be enough to put an end to it?"
Lan Shuang also sneered: "Maybe they really think so."
"Bah! Shameless thing! Why don't you marry someone with a bad family tradition? The Lu family has a bad reputation. The head of the Lu family was a playboy when he was young. How can his illegitimate child be a good thing? My daughter is so good, it's not like no one wants her. Why should she be hanged on a crooked tree like him?"
The butler kept cursing as he walked. At first, Lan Shuang was a little disgusted by the Lu family's behavior, but when she heard the butler's cursing was never the same, she actually found it quite interesting.
By the time she reached the door, her anger had completely subsided.
Just as she was about to go in, someone suddenly came out. She looked closely and saw that it was Lan Shuangting. There was no trace of drunkenness on his face, only gloom. It seemed that he had sobered up.
"Brother, why did you come out?"
Lan Shuangting stepped forward, took Lan Shuang's arm and said, "Those disgusting people are here. If you don't want to see them, just go back to your room from the other side. Don't worry about them. I'll have someone kick them out right away."
Lan Shuangting has always been very graceful in front of outsiders, otherwise his reputation would not be so good. Only in front of his own people does he reveal his childish and straightforward side.
He even said something like kicking someone out of the house, which shows that he really hates them to the extreme.
"No, I just want to see them."
"What are you going to do with them?" Lan Shuangting's face turned even darker.
"It's not that I still have feelings for them, I just want to see what else they can say. Besides, hiding from them will make them think I'm scared and that I'm still obsessed with them. If I tell them to their faces, they'll completely give up."
Lan Shuang pulled Lan Shuangting inside and said soothingly, "Look at me, brother."
Lan Shuangting had no choice but to let her go.
After entering the living room, Lan Shuang noticed the oppressive atmosphere. Patriarch Lu and Madam Lu were sitting on the sofa opposite. Lan Shuang said to Lan Runqing in a gentle voice, "Patriarch Lan, we only found out about this later. If we had known earlier, how could we have tolerated him?"
"That's right. We were wrong to have wronged Shuangshuang. We apologized to her, but since she already knew about Lu Yihan's cheating, why didn't she tell us? If she had told us, we could have helped her deal with it. Why did she have to make it so embarrassing at the engagement party? This is not only a disgrace to our Lu family, but also to the Lan family!"
Mrs. Lu spoke earnestly, as if she was really speaking up for Lan Shuang. Lan Shuang sneered. In her previous life, the original owner was also deceived by Mrs. Lu. She thought that she was really gentle and kind and good to herself, so she was willing to be close to her and treat her as her mother-in-law. However, she didn't know that it was because of her obstruction that the relationship between her and Lu Yihan became increasingly strained.
In this life, she is not so easy to mess with.
With a light laugh, Lan Shuang let go of Lan Shuangting's hand and walked over. "Mrs. Lu, are you blaming me?"
"Blame me for not keeping an eye on Lu Yihan, blame me for not telling you in advance. Why don't you blame yourselves for not keeping Lu Yihan in check?"
Lan Shuang walked over and sat down next to Su Lan, Lan Shuangting sat next to Lan Runqing, and the family of four sat neatly together.
Mrs. Lu and the head of the Lu family immediately felt the pressure.
"That's not what we meant..." Mrs. Lu quickly defended herself.
Lan Shuang's gaze fell on Lu Yihan, who stood aside with his head lowered and remained silent. She sneered, "I didn't tell him in advance because I wanted to give him a chance to clean up his act. Who knew he wouldn't change his ways? He even helped outsiders bully me. Why should I give him face?"
Mrs. Lu was speechless, and her expression suddenly became even uglier.
Patriarch Lu glared at her, then turned to Lan Shuang with a guilty conscience. "Shuangshuang is right. It was our negligence, but our two families spent so much time preparing for this engagement. It's such a shame that it's suddenly fallen through. I came here today to see if there's any room for recovery."
"Regret? I don't feel any regret at all. On the contrary, I feel fortunate. It's not too late to stop now. Our Lan family doesn't feel ashamed. We haven't done anything wrong, so why should we feel ashamed? I would be ashamed if Tiantian really married such a fickle and irresponsible brat!"
Lan Runqing was not moved at all, his expression was cold, and his disgust needed no words.
Patriarch Lu fell silent. He turned to look at Lu Yihan and suddenly gave him a shove. “What are you standing there for, you beast? Kneel down!”
