Late at night, at the Lu family home.
While Grandpa Lu was still considering Qin Wan's proposal, Lu's father firmly disagreed.
After the commotion in the living room, the old man asked Lu Shaohan to sit with Qin Wan for a while, while he called Lu's father to the study for a talk.
"Qin Wan, even if I deceived and betrayed you, my kindness towards you was genuine. Don't you think you've been too heartless?"
As soon as the old man and Mr. Lu left, Lu Shaojin stood up from the ground, his sinister eyes fixed on Qin Wan.
"I don't have the ability to communicate with different species," Qin Wan said expressionlessly.
"Pfft." Lu Shaohan couldn't help but chuckle.
[Lu Shaohan's favorability increased by 2, current favorability 67.]
Lu Shaojin was so angry that he trembled all over and his breathing became heavy.
After a brief moment of anger, Lu Shaojin couldn't hold back and rushed forward to grab Qin Wan.
Unexpectedly, a long, slender hand with distinct knuckles beat him to it...
Lu Shaohan shielded Qin Wan's upper body and grabbed Lu Shaojin's hand as he tried to approach Qin Wan.
"Have you made enough of a scene?"
Lu Shaojin stared at Lu Shaohan with a grim expression, "Let go!"
Lu Shaohan not only didn't loosen his grip, but even tightened his hold on the hand.
Lu Shaojin's face turned pale instantly, and the anger in his heart exploded. He raised his hand and punched Lu Shaohan hard.
"Bang!"
Lu Shaojin was kicked to the ground...
"Can't you understand human language?"
"You said you're good to Qin Wan?"
"Then tell me, how have you been good to her?"
"Use her identity to help you gain a foothold in the Lu family?"
"Using your relationship and engagement to help you expand your social circle within the wealthy elite?"
"Use her connections to change the opinions and attitudes of those in wealthy families who initially rejected your status as an illegitimate child?"
"Lu Shaojin, what exactly have you done well for her?"
Lu Shaohan's sharp words made Lu Shaojin's face turn extremely ugly.
"I've been good enough to her!"
"She wasn't feeling well, so I took her to the hospital that very night!"
"I rushed over to take care of her during her menstrual cramps!"
"She had a high fever, and I stayed with her at the hospital the whole time!"
"She was sad and upset, and I was the one who stayed with her, comforted her, and guided her through it all!"
"For her, I stayed up all night and was available whenever she called."
"For her, I..."
Lu Shaojin kept talking about all the sacrifices she had made, but Lu Shaohan just laughed.
How much of your effort is genuine, and how much is calculated?
"And didn't your efforts get any reward?"
"When Qin Wan used her network to help you secure projects, she helped you stand out in the company and establish a firm foothold in the Lu family."
"Compared to all your efforts, Qin Wan has given you a very generous return."
Lu Shaohan is a person who likes to take action and doesn't like to talk nonsense.
But today he was unusually patient, going over each and every issue with Lu Shaojin.
"The sacrifices you mentioned, Qin Wan could easily buy better and higher-quality care and services from you with just a little money."
"Of course, if you are truly sincere towards her, then the sacrifices you made cannot be measured in money."
"But are you?"
Are you truly sincere towards her?
Lu Shaohan's words left Lu Shaojin speechless.
He opened his mouth to retort instinctively, but Lu Shaohan interrupted him before he could finish speaking.
"What? You still want to impose your self-righteous ideas and logic on us?"
Lu Shaojin was furious, but he knew very well that he couldn't win an argument with Lu Shaohan.
Not only that, he can't beat Lu Shaohan!
So, in the end, he could only watch helplessly as Lu Shaohan and Qin Wan walked past him together.
"Qin Wan!"
Lu Shaojin was unwilling to give up and shouted in a hoarse voice.
However, Qin Wan's departing figure did not pause for a moment.
Watching their figures gradually disappear into the distance, Lu Shaojin gritted his teeth and finally couldn't resist, so he lifted his leg and chased after them.
"For the sake of our past friendship, could you please not let Grandpa send me abroad?"
"I can apologize to you, and I'll do whatever you want, just don't let me leave the country!"
After Lu Shaojin finished speaking, Qin Wan remained unmoved. "Instead of begging me, you should try to figure out how to get the old man to change his mind."
After saying that, Qin Wan ignored him and turned to Lu Shaohan beside her, "Take me home."
"Aren't we going to wait for the results?" Lu Shaohan raised an eyebrow.
Qin Wan shook her head. "It's not important."
"And..." Qin Wan paused, glancing out of the corner of her eye at the figure standing at the entrance of the Lu family's gate.
"If nothing unexpected happens, the Lu family will probably not have a peaceful night."
Hearing Qin Wan's words, Lu Shaohan remained noncommittal. "Don't you want to watch a good show?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan paused for a moment, then said, "It's not that I don't want to see it."
"The main problem is that it's inconvenient to watch."
"After all, my engagement with Lu Shaojin has been dissolved, and I have no reason to stay in the Lu family."
Lu Shaohan chuckled lightly, "With me here, what reason do I need?"
"If you want to stay, then stay."
Qin Wan looked at him and tentatively asked, "...Brother, are you really going to go to such lengths for me?"
"To this extent?"
"After tonight's farce, I think neither the old man nor Uncle Lu would want me to stay overnight at the Lu family's house."
Lu Shaohan said calmly, "That's them." Not him.
not to mention……
"Their thoughts are not important."
After today's farce, Lu Shaojin will be completely expelled from the center of power within the Lu family.
From now on, Lu Shaohan will be in charge of the Lu family.
Thinking of this, Lu Shaohan glanced casually at the location of the study on the second floor.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the old man will make his final decision tonight.
And then there's his father, who favors Lu Shaojin. In order to keep Lu Shaojin, he'll inevitably have to make some compromises and concessions...
Thinking of this, Lu Shaohan turned to Qin Wan and said, "I'll have someone prepare some clean clothes for you."
"good."
This time, Qin Wan didn't refuse. Mainly, she was curious to see what kind of resistance Lu Shaojin would put on tonight.
Upon learning that Qin Wan had stayed overnight at the Lu family home, Lu's father's face turned quite grim. The old man merely glanced at Lu Shaohan and said nothing.
The third floor of the Lu family residence.
Qin Wan stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the night view outside, while looking down at her phone and playing with WeChat.
[Qin Wan: Is there any movement?]
Lu Shaohan: ...
Qin Wan: Hmm?
[Lu Shaohan: Aren't you going to sleep yet?]
Qin Wan: I want to watch a play, but I can't sleep.
Lu Shaohan: ...
[Qin Wan: Aren't you curious?]
Qin Wan sent the message, but Lu Shaohan did not reply for a long time.
Just as Qin Wan was getting bored, there was a knock on the door of her room.
"Knock knock knock".
Qin Wan was surprised when she opened the door and saw Lu Shaohan.
Why are you here?
"Aren't you having trouble sleeping?"
Qin Wan blinked and nodded obediently, "A little bit."
"In order to stop you from sending me messages and bothering me, I've decided to come online and have a chat with you to discuss this in more detail."
Qin Wan: "..."
