After a long while, Lu Nanying's soft voice came: "Jiujiu, Xiaohe, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I didn't know people well."
On this day in her previous life, Lu Nanying also woke up after falling into the water, and Cheng Suyu was right in front of her, crying miserably. The three of them were out at sea on a speedboat when she accidentally saw Yang Yunze and Cheng Suyu hugging each other. In a fit of rage, she broke up with Yang Yunze. During the argument, Cheng Suyu pushed her off the speedboat. If Ji Chengzhou hadn't sent people to protect her, she might have died in the sea.
When she woke up, Cheng Suyu was kneeling by her bed, weeping bitterly, saying she was simply upset because Ji Chengzhou had rejected her so many times. Yang Yunze couldn't bear her sadness, so he hugged her. Lu Nanying had always been well-protected by her parents and brothers. From birth, she had been the darling of the Lu and Ji families in Jing City, and the Ye family in Hai City. Her world was too pure and devoid of scheming, which was why she repeatedly succumbed to Cheng Suyu's provocations and slander. At that time, she chose to forgive them both and even expressed her desire to get married to her parents.
For the first time, Lu Yu'an, the father who had cherished her for twenty-two years since she was born, lost his temper and spoke harshly to his precious daughter. His words were full of toughness, insisting that she must marry Ji Chengzhou, otherwise he would lock her up in Lu Garden and not let her go.
At this time, Lu Nanying felt aggrieved because of her father's sudden mood. With red eyes, she bit her lips stubbornly and said, "I will not marry Ji Chengzhou. I will never marry him even if I die." She ran out as soon as she finished speaking.
After that, she did not return to the Lu family for a long time, and lived with Yang Yunze and Cheng Suyu in an upscale community called Yunshang International in the city center.
Until one day, she received a call from Lu's mother, Ye Xi: "Yingying, you haven't been home for a long time. Are you still angry with your father? Even if you are angry with your father, you can't ignore your mother. I miss you. Can you come out and have afternoon tea with me?"
Lu Nanying has always been soft-hearted. Hearing her mother's gentle voice, a trace of warmth passed through her heart, and she said softly, "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Nanying drove alone to a place for afternoon tea, which was a handmade dessert shop called [Riyutian]. Many ladies in Beijing like to have afternoon tea here because its light luxury decoration style is particularly artistic and confidential. However, no one knows who the owner behind this shop is.
At 2:30 p.m., Lu Nanying was wearing a Chanel-style blue dress from C.com, with a limited-edition white shoulder bag slung across her body. Standing 1.68 meters tall, she wore a pair of pointed flats with bows. Her long black hair flowed down her back, and a pink diamond bow necklace adorned her fair, swan-like neck. She looked refined and pure, wearing only nude lipstick, but her stunning face was enough to draw a second glance.
Pushing open the door, she hurried upstairs. Ye Xi was already sitting by the window drinking coffee. There were some exquisite snacks and a glass of grapefruit juice on the table.
"Mother"
A soft voice came, and Ye Xi looked up at the girl who was slowly walking towards her, with a gentle smile in her eyes. Although she was a woman in her forties, there was no trace of time on her face. Because her father Lu doted on her, her life had always been carefree and she had a gentle temperament. All the younger generations loved to laugh and play in front of her.
"Baby, come here and let mommy see you. I haven't seen you for more than two months. You've lost weight." The mother took her hand and sat down, touched her hair, and sighed softly.
Lu Nanying looked at the snacks and juice in front of her, her eyes slightly red. She took her mother's arm and gently rested her head on her shoulder. Ye Xi patted Lu Nanying's shoulder gently and said helplessly: "Yingying, your father is also worried that you will be hurt. After all, you have never been in a relationship. As for Yang Yunze, your father and your second brother have already investigated him thoroughly. The reason why we let you do what you want in the past is because you have never done anything that crosses the line, and your father also indulged you, but you should never, ever, bring up the idea of getting married. You are your father's precious daughter who he has been looking forward to and waiting for. How could he bear to let you get married, let alone marry such a scheming illegitimate child whose mother is so unbearable."
Lu Nanying remained silent. She knew what her mother said was true. They had lived together every day for over two months, and it wasn't as if she hadn't noticed something was amiss. She was naive, but as the eldest daughter of the Lu family, how could she be foolish and ignorant?
Seeing her daughter remain silent for a long time, Ye Xi decided not to continue. She knew her daughter well. She wasn't as useless as others claimed; she simply wasn't willing to flaunt her talents. On the contrary, Lu Nanying had always valued intelligence. At the age of 18, she had already earned a doctorate in jewelry design and computer science from the Washington Business School. She was also known as Yan, the mysterious cello prodigy in the music world.
Lu Nanying rubbed Ye Xi's arm like a little girl and said lazily, "Mom, I know what to do. It's just that Dad suddenly lost his temper with me, and I felt wronged. I've figured out a lot during this time. I know you're doing this for my own good, and I know Ji Chengzhou is a good person, but I just want to make my own choice."
After saying that, she picked up the juice on the table and started drinking it. Ye Xi smiled, patted her head, and stopped talking. The mother and daughter ate the dessert in front of them, spending a short and pleasant afternoon tea time.
Little did they know that the conversation between the mother and daughter had been overheard by the people Yang Yunze sent to follow Lu Nanying. When Lu Nanying returned to Yunshang International, Yang Yunze and Cheng Suyu were already sitting on the sofa in the living room, as if they were waiting for her there specifically.
Lu Nanying wasn't stupid either. She knew they were waiting for her. She walked over to the single sofa next to her and sat down. She said casually, "You came back so early today, and you came back together. Are you waiting for me?"
It seems like a very plain sentence, but you can feel the silent flame.
Seeing Lu Nanying's rebellious attitude, Cheng Suyu said indignantly, "Nanying, we all know what your mother said to you today. Is it because Yunze is the Yang family's illegitimate child that they are reluctant to agree to your marriage?"
