Lu Wan walked to the door of the restaurant and looked back.
Lu Jinye: "Wanwan, are you angry? If you are still angry, how about I punch Jiang Boyang twice?"
Anyway, he hit me...so he hit me. Jiang Boyang was in the wrong first, so who dares to stop him from teaching the younger generation a lesson?
Lu Wan didn't take his uncle's words seriously and thought it was a joke.
After all, he looked like a gentle businessman most of the time, but she would feel confused occasionally.
Lu Wan was still very conflicted. If she didn't explain things clearly, she might not be able to sleep at night.
"My cousin said that whoever first proposes to cancel the engagement will have to pay more than 10 billion. Is that true?"
Why don’t you mention it? Am I the only one who is worried?
Lu Jinye lowered his head and laughed. He looked at Lu Wan lovingly and couldn't help but touch the other's head: "Baby, how can you be so cute?"
Lu Wan: “…”
She is serious, okay?
Lu Wan was thinking about the tens of billions of dollars all day.
How many parcels must my uncle’s company deliver and how many fireworks must it sell to make a profit?
Even if he has money, he can't squander it like this!
After making sure that he would never give money to the Jiang family, Lu Wan started daydreaming again in the afternoon...
Imagine yourself having tens of billions.
I was worried about whether to invest or travel around the world. In the end, I decided to put half of the money in the bank to earn interest, and use the other half to buy a house and become a landlord.
This way you can collect money while sitting at home.
For a stingy poor person like her, the most unrealistic dream in the past was to win five million.
Now there are more than one billion people, and even daydreaming is a bit restricted.
Lu Wan even started to do the math for Schrödinger's billions.
One Mao Zedong note weighs about one gram, and one hundred million Mao Zedong notes weigh about one ton. The Mao Zedong note can also be regarded as a rectangular block of 155 x 77 x 0.1 mm.
A billion could fill a small room.
If they are piled up at home, how long will it take to wear out a corner? It is very likely that they will be eaten by insects before they are completely used up...
It would be better to put Schrödinger's billions in the bank for the time being. Lu Wan lost his mind several times and forced himself to interrupt his thoughts and continue with the class.
Lu Jinye laughed so loudly that his shoulders shook and tears were about to come out. He hadn't laughed so hard in a long time.
"Wanwan, don't worry. The billions are not cash, but profits from the cooperation. If we are related by marriage to the Jiang family, I am willing to make concessions. They will get more benefits."
That amount is more than a billion.
But since Jiang Boyang is such an ungrateful guy, there is no need to have any more contact with him in the future.
The Jiang and Lu families are old friends.
The so-called engagement was nothing more than a verbal agreement between the two elders decades ago. At that time, both parties had given birth to sons, so they could only wait for the next generation.
Wait until there is a suitable opportunity to get married again.
The two old men had passed away, and by the time of Lu Jinye's generation, the relationship between them had become much more distant, and he didn't take the matter to heart at all.
If it wasn't a few years ago, when Mrs. Jiang knew that he had a niece who was living outside, she would have taken the initiative to suggest that if the Lu family could find the child, they would be willing to form a marriage between the two families.
They are all smart people, and no one is stupider than anyone else. Lu Jinye naturally knows that Mrs. Jiang has an ulterior motive in making such a suggestion.
But he still agreed and gave the other party benefits immediately.
Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run. Although she is their younger brother's daughter, she is no different from his own daughter.
Of course, Lu Jinye really hopes that his niece lives a good life when she is away from home.
But there is always a chance of something happening.
In case the child does not live well, getting married is a second starting point for women.
The Jiang family is also a good husband's family and will not be looked down upon.
To take a step back, if the child doesn't want to get married after coming back, he can also go back on his word and say it's not suitable.
It’s just a matter of giving more compensation. Anything that can be solved with money is not a big deal.
Of course, since it was Mrs. Jiang who proposed this matter, only his daughter can go back on her word, and the other party has no right to do so.
Lu Jinye's power was stronger than that of the Jiang family, so naturally he had more say. So when Lu Wan said that she didn't want to see Jiang Boyang, he didn't think it was a big deal.
This was originally one of the alternative options.
Lu Jinye is cruel and ruthless, but he values blood ties and treats his family members differently.
Lu Wan: "Ah? So they don't have to compensate us?"
Lu Jinye smiled and said, "If you want it, give it all to Wanwan when the time comes, okay?"
When the marriage was proposed, Mrs. Jiang gained a lot of benefits from him, and now she has to pay it back with interest.
Lu Wan was a little embarrassed: "Forget it, I don't want it. Uncle, your money didn't come from the wind."
Lu Jinye: "It was blown by the strong wind! I just happened to invest in a wind power station."
Lu Wan: “…”
Then you are great.
Lu Wan always felt that his uncle had suffered a lot in the past and failed in many business ventures before he had his current wealth.
But now seeing him making all kinds of confusing remarks, he is just like a nouveau riche showing off his wealth.
Fortunately, I didn’t wear a big gold chain.
Although Lu Jinye is arrogant, he is not usually like this. He thinks his girl is delicate.
He has to appear strong so that the other party feels that he can be relied upon.
Lu Jinye: "You didn't eat just now, baby, uncle will take you to eat."
"Don't you have something else to do? I just happened to have an appointment with a friend."
Lu Jinye received several phone calls during the conversation, and Lu Wan heard some of them.
It seemed that the other party had something to plan for today and was called over by Mrs. Jiang at short notice.
Lu Jinye: "You have an appointment with your friends? Baby, I'll ask A Biao to send a few people to protect you."
Lu Wan: "...No, this is the city center, it's safe, and I'm already seventeen years old, don't call me baby."
Lu Jinye: "How can seventeen not be a baby? Your cousin is thirty-seven and still thinks he is a baby. I don't bother to pay attention to him, but Wanwan will always be a baby."
Lu Wan: “…”
The seventeen-year-old baby, who was 177 cm tall, breathed a sigh of relief after seeing his uncle off.
Lu Wan took out his cell phone and made a call.
Having been at school the entire day, Xu Yao had been left out for the whole day. Now that the issue was resolved, Lu Wan called him out to meet for dinner.
Lu Wan had no good feelings towards Mrs. Jiang.
In the novel, Jiang Boyang clearly doesn’t like the cannon fodder female supporting role. He flirts with the heroine every day and doesn’t take the initiative to cancel the engagement.
Mrs. Jiang knew that her son did not love the supporting female character, so she deliberately painted a rosy picture for the supporting female character and pretended to coax her for her own benefit.
The two men were sucking blood crazily, and the female supporting character went crazy and jumped off the building in the end. They cannot escape responsibility.
———
Lu Wan started to choose a restaurant. Xu had come all the way to see her, and she couldn't just send him away with a meal of spicy hot pot.
She was in a good mood and had a very rare heavy bleeding.
If Jiang Boyang and Lin Niannian become more emotional in a few months, he will naturally fight with her mother for his beloved girl.
Mrs. Jiang will also consider all aspects.
But now, Lin Niannian is still not good enough in front of Mrs. Jiang.
Lu Wan chose a hotel restaurant with a buffet style and all meals were served.
There was music accompaniment on the scene. There were not many guests, mostly couples.
Xu looked around. Lu Wan brought him to a place like this. Did she have any ideas about him?
Lu Wan was chewing his food with his head down. When he saw that no one was eating, he raised his head and said, "Eat, why not? I paid for it, 498 per person, it would be a shame if you don't eat."
Xu Yao: “…”
He was overthinking it.
The two of them came out of the restaurant, and Lu Wan said, "We're done eating, so you should go home as soon as possible. Even if you don't like studying, you should finish high school and then learn business from your father."
"Oh, I know," Xu thought for a moment and then said, "I always feel uncomfortable after you left."
"Bah! Go to hell, okay? Do you really think I'm your nanny? I fix things when they break, I clean the place, and I even cook for you on the weekends!"
After a pause, Lu Wan warned, "We are far apart now, so don't be too competitive outside. After all, some people are crazy. Just bear with it for a while, and it will pass. I don't want to see your photo on the social news one day."
Xu Yaoting was touched: "Boss...you are so nice to me."
"Okay, just remember to be filial to me in the future. I'm going home now. We can contact each other by phone if anything happens."
Lu Wan was able to go to school thanks to the help of his parents.
Her adoptive father drank every day and went to prostitutes after drinking. He had sex with prostitutes within a ten-kilometer radius and occasionally brought back takeout.
When he wakes up, he beats his wife and adopted daughter.
The man never thought of sending the money-loser to school.
Xu still wanted to make a fuss, asking why Lu Wan could not come to school. He rolled on the ground and said that if Lu Wan didn't come, he wouldn't come either.
He thought Lu Wan went out to play alone and was envious.
Xu Yao's parents only then found out that Lu Wan was not in school. The couple were kind-hearted and went to help Lu Wan complete the admission procedures.
Lu Wan’s adoptive father was a good-for-nothing, and his adoptive mother was useless, but Lu Wan still grew up successfully.
Many neighbors would point fingers at her and say bad things to her.
But there were also kind-hearted neighbors who saw that no one was taking care of her and would give her a meal.
Lu Wan made a lot of friends in junior high school, including some gangsters in society, who encouraged her to stop studying and make money.
During her middle school years, she hated her adoptive father so much that she always thought that either he would kill her or she would kill him.
She was like a hedgehog, and at that time she really considered joining the society.
The math teacher at that time often talked to Lu Wan.
He told her frankly that he was an orphan, without a father or mother, and had a hard life since childhood, but now he was happily married with a wife and children. Everything would pass and would get better. He also said that Lu Wan was smart and good at studying, and would definitely have a bright future.
Lu Wan was deeply touched, and gradually cut off contact with those messy people and concentrated on studying.
When she was still attending the same school in high school, she occasionally ran into that teacher. The teacher was afraid that she would go astray, so he would catch her and give her a lecture every time.
Lu Wan was tired of listening, but she didn't want to ask him to stop nagging. She was much taller than the teacher at that time, and she looked down at the top of the other person's head.
The teacher was a mediocre person and his emotions suddenly got out of control. He started swearing and Lu Wan slipped away.
Lu Wan met a lot of bastards, but also met a lot of good people.
This made her feel that although she was not the luckiest one, she was not without hope.
This world is not so ideal, but it is also good.
Xu opened his arms: "Brother Wan... hug me?"
Not knowing when they would see each other next time, Lu Wan hugged the other person perfunctorily.
"That's enough."
Xu Yao: "No, I want to hug you again."
Lu Wan kicked him and said, "Get lost! Are you tired of living? How dare you take advantage of me?"
Xu Yao; "..."
It's been discovered.
Only after seeing Lu Wan enter the subway station did Xu Yao turn around and slowly walk back.
He smiled and thought, I won’t leave. We will meet again tomorrow and continue to be classmates.
Lu Wan was a boy before, and the girls in school who liked her were so crazy. There are actually girls who wrote Lu Wan’s name... on their school uniforms? ? ? ?
Now that her hair has grown longer, it actually looks quite good. He is quite afraid that there will be boys chasing after Lu Wan at school.
The two have known each other for so many years, if Lu Wan wants to find a partner, she should definitely put him first.
——
As soon as the two people from the Lu family left, Jiang Boyang stood up with an unhappy look on his face: "I shouldn't have come!"
Mrs. Jiang stopped her son who was about to leave.
"Won't you give me an explanation?"
Jiang Boyang: "This is all your fault. What can I explain? Are you disappointed that you didn't achieve your goal?"
Mrs. Jiang pressed her brows and paused for two seconds before saying, "Boyang, I'm too busy at work and don't have time to accompany you, but you've had everything you wanted since you were a child, and I've never asked anything of you."
"Yes, the madam rushed back and hasn't slept for three days." said the assistant.
Jiang Boyang frowned, suppressed his unhappiness, and said loudly: "What does this have to do with me? You are the only one who cares about making money!"
Mrs. Jiang laughed, her expression somewhat fragile: "I just want to make money? You don't know that our group was in a bad situation a few years ago. Looking at such a large industry, if one day the bank is unwilling to lend us money after evaluation, and the capital chain is broken, then there will be big problems."
After a pause, he continued, "The Lu family is a very good partner. If there is any other way, I will not use my son's marriage to exchange for anything."
Jiang Boyang was stunned. In his impression, his mother was always strong. If the other party scolded him now, he would definitely retort loudly.
Instead, the tone of weakness now made him feel a little at a loss.
"It has nothing to do with me." Although Jiang Boyang said this, he felt a little uneasy.
Mrs. Jiang sighed, hoping that her conciliatory policy would work.
———
Jiang Boyang came out of the restaurant and went straight back to the villa near the school.
Lin Niannian had already cleaned up and was sitting at the dining table, doing her homework while watching the soup simmering on the stove.
The light shining on her face made her skin look even whiter.
She saw the person coming in, looked up and said with a smile: "You had a little cough yesterday, so I bought some pears and stewed pear soup for you."
Jiang Boyang looked at the girl in front of him, and thought about how they had spent the past half month together, and he felt a little moved.
But then he thought of his mother's tired look and said, "You should move out tomorrow."
He just has a good impression of the person now, but he hasn't fallen in love with her yet.
Lin Niannian dropped the pen in her hand onto the table with a "bang". She looked at him in disbelief, "But... why? Didn't we agree that I would clean and cook for you to deduct the rent? Where can I go?"
Jiang Boyang was unwilling to explain. He turned his head away and said, "You can't live here anyway. I can give you money and you can find another house."
Lin Niannian's eyes were red. She picked up the book on the table and said, trying hard to hold back her tears, "I understand. I will leave tomorrow. You don't have to humiliate me with money."
Jiang Boyang and others went upstairs and sat on the sofa somewhat exhausted.
It was quiet all around, and he thought of Lu Wan again.
He originally thought that the guy wanted to force him to fulfill the engagement, but he didn't expect him to be so excessive and actually talk nonsense in front of the elders of both sides.
——
Lu Wan came a little early today, and there was still half an hour before class started.
As soon as she sat down, Harry, who was sitting next to her, pulled her over to share the spoils from yesterday's shopping.
Harry: "My new necklace looks great, doesn't it?"
"They're both okay, more or less the same." Lu Wan couldn't tell the difference.
"Not interesting at all! You really have a straight girl's aesthetic! This chain is obviously thicker than the previous one. I really like thicker ones."
Lu Wan: “…”
The head teacher walked in and tapped the table with his hand: "Everyone, be quiet. There is a new student in our class today."
Everyone looked towards the podium, wondering why there were transfer students this semester?
Are they still students who receive charity poverty alleviation?
When Lu Wan saw the transfer student coming in, she was a little slow to react.
She had seen horse killers with red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple hair.
It’s been so long that I almost forgot what the other person’s black hair looked like.
But...how did this guy appear here?
When Xu Ya introduced himself, his eyes were always on Lu Wan.
The head teacher arranged a seat for Xu Yao and left.
The students in Class 4 looked at the new student and thought he didn’t look like... a poor student.
Harry turned his head and said to Lu Wan, "Wow~ It's a muscular man with a healthy complexion. I'm fine with him, but he looks straight. He's walking towards us?! Is he coming to say hello to me? Is there something wrong with my gay radar?"
Xu Yao stopped in front of Lu Wan's table, turned around and said to the young man next to her: "I want to sit here, you change seats with me immediately!"
Harry was stunned for a moment, then hugged Lu Wan's arm without any fear, looking up at him: "Wow~ so fierce~ Brother Wan, please protect this cute little panda of mine and beat him up."
Lu Wan: “…”
Xu Yao: “…”
Damn, what the hell?
