Because of Lu Yunzhang's insistence, Lin Wanwan still accepted the money.
For the rest of the time, she kept talking to Lu Yunzhang, her gaze so tender it could melt hearts, her thoughts written all over her face, obvious to everyone.
Lu Yunzhang felt unwell all over; he shouldn't have agreed to go out with Lu Xue'er.
I finally got a vacation, but it felt worse than not having a vacation at all.
When he heard Lu Xue'er call him "Brother Lu" again, he finally couldn't hold back any longer. He stopped and said to Lu Xue'er, "I suddenly remembered I have something to do. You guys keep shopping, I'll be going now."
"Eh? Brother..." Before Lu Xue'er could react, he had already walked three zhang away.
"Why are you running so fast?" Lu Xue'er muttered.
Lin Wanwan stared at his back, her eyes filled with determination.
She will definitely marry into the Lu family.
By then, Lin Xiaoxiao will only be able to look up to her.
"Sister Xue'er, here's your money back." Lin Wanwan smiled as she handed the money, which she hadn't even had a chance to warm up, to Lu Xue'er.
"You gave this to me yourself." Lu Xue'er's eyes flickered as she took it. "I didn't force you."
Lin Wanwan had no regrets at all, "We're friends, after all."
We'll still be family.
To obtain high returns, you need to invest in advance.
Lin Wanwan might have felt the pinch and reluctance before, but ever since her father believed that she and Lu Yunzhang were dating, he has provided her with financial support.
Lin Wanwan firmly believes that her family is secretly wealthy and will give her as much as she asks for.
Her father might be hiding a large fortune.
With the confidence that money brought her, Lin Wanwan was very generous to Lu Xueer. For the sake of money, Lu Xueer also put Lin Wanwan's scheming against her out of her mind.
"My brother doesn't like you, don't waste your time on him." Lu Xue'er took the money and, perhaps out of a pang of conscience, spoke the truth.
The smile instantly froze on Lin Wanwan's face, and she cursed Lu Xueer in her heart.
Knowing full well that she likes Lu Yunzhang, he still deliberately said such things; it's utterly disgusting.
"Brother Lu... doesn't like me? How did Xue'er know? We were chatting so happily just now." Lin Wanwan felt restless as she thought of Lu Yunzhang's handsome face and refined manners.
Although she knew it was unlikely that she would like someone after only meeting them once, Lu Yunzhang did not show any dislike.
She felt that Lu Yunzhang must also have feelings for her.
Lu Xue'er said this to discourage her, but she wouldn't let her succeed.
Lu Yunzhang must be her man.
“My brother and I grew up together, and I know his personality best.” Seeing that she didn’t appreciate his kindness, Lu Xue’er snorted coldly, “Otherwise, why do you think he suddenly ran away?”
It's because he didn't want to be with Lin Wanwan that he made an excuse to leave.
Lin Wanwan's face paled; she didn't want to accept this speculation.
Thinking of the deadline Lin Dashan gave her, and her younger brother Lin Ping'an's promotion to junior cadre.
He suddenly grabbed Lu Xue'er's hand. "Xue'er, I really like Brother Lu. I'll do anything for you as long as you help me."
If Lu Yunzhang really didn't like her, he would definitely try to avoid her, just like he did today.
To win him over, we need Lu Xue'er's help.
Moreover, she could tell that Lu Xue'er really liked her generosity, and that she could even let bygones be bygones and no longer hold grudges.
Lin Wanwan lowered her eyes, a calculating glint in them.
"What does it matter to me if you like my brother?" Lu Xue'er pulled her hand back, her expression haughty.
“It’s not that I look down on you, but with your family background, you’re not even close to my brother, let alone my sixth uncle’s cousin who has no talent.”
Lin Wanwan felt humiliated as her fingernails dug into her flesh.
“My brother is the hope of our family, and his future wife must come from a prominent family.”
"Even if my brother likes you, my grandpa and parents will not agree."
"I'm telling you all this to let you know that I won't help you."
Lu Xue'er didn't have the guts to help Lin Wanwan scheme against her brother. Her brother usually seemed easy to talk to, but if he really got angry, even she wouldn't get away with it.
Considering that Lin Wanwan had spent some money on her during this time, she kindly gave her a reminder.
It also made her see reality clearly.
Lin Wanwan let go of her hand. "Okay, it's okay."
It seems we need to try a different approach.
Thinking of Lu Yunzhang, her eyes were full of determination. She said to Lu Xue'er, "I'll treat you to dinner at a private restaurant tomorrow."
Lu Xue'er didn't refuse, "Sure, I haven't been there in a long time."
In the performing arts troupe, she had to practice dancing every day, and she couldn't leave the troupe casually. She was about to rejoin the troupe, so she took the opportunity to have some fun and enjoy some delicious food these next two days.
Lin Wanwan said, "Let's invite Brother Lu too."
Lu Xue'er paused, glanced at her, and said, "My brother won't go."
Lin Wanwan felt a little regretful.
She heard from Lu Xue'er that Lu Yunzhang only had three days of vacation, and after that, she wouldn't see him for at least a month.
If Lin Dashan doesn't see her with Lu Yunzhang within a week, given his personality, he will definitely become suspicious of her.
She only has three days left.
After thinking for a moment, she made up her mind and said to Lu Xue'er, "Xue'er, can you help me arrange to meet Brother Lu tomorrow? I have something I want to say to him. I won't bother him after tomorrow."
"Really?" Lu Xue'er was so skeptical.
"Really?" Lin Wanwan's expression darkened.
Seeing this, Lu Xue'er finally believed her and agreed to help her arrange to meet Lu Yunzhang.

On the other side, Qin Yushen took Lin Xiaoxiao to the hospital for a check-up after she woke up because she had vomited the night before.
"Everything is normal, just make sure to get enough nutrition." The doctor looked at the test results and gave a few points to note.
"It's normal to experience morning sickness at this stage. Even if you feel nauseous, you should try to eat something. Family members should take extra care of you."
"I'll give you a slip of paper. With this slip, you can go to the supply and marketing cooperative or the department store to buy malted milk powder."
Finally, Qin Yushen took a note and left the hospital with Lin Xiaoxiao.
"I told you it wouldn't be a big deal. I didn't throw up those greasy meat buns this morning. Yesterday was definitely an exception," Lin Xiaoxiao said.
Not only did he not vomit, but he also ate with great relish.
Qin Yushen thought about her appetite and felt relieved. "I'll only feel at ease if you check her out."
The two walked side by side on the tree-lined path, deliberately avoiding crowded places.
Seeing that there was no one around, Lin Xiaoxiao boldly reached out and grabbed him. A smile flashed across Qin Yushen's face as he gripped her hand slightly tighter.
"It's been a long time since we've had such a leisurely stroll," Lin Xiaoxiao said with some emotion.
When they lived in the Jiangcheng family compound, they would always go for a walk hand in hand after dinner.
Even if someone sees it, they won't say anything.
You can't control everything, but you can't control how well a couple gets along.
After arriving in Beijing, both of them were busy, and whenever they had a mission, they couldn't see each other for several days.
Even when going out together, we deliberately maintain a certain distance.
The revolutionary atmosphere in Beijing is stronger than in other places. If you walk down the street and get too close to someone of the opposite sex, many people will stare at you, trying to find fault with you.
