"Wanwan, I heard that person went to Kyoto. Be careful when you go out, so you don't get any bad luck."
Shi Wan was just about to leave when she received Ji Meng's text message.
To show respect to Aunt Lu, Shi Wan tied her long black hair into a bun and secured it with a simple carved ebony hairpin. She wore an elegant white cheongsam with exquisite embroidered lace at the chest. The high collar perfectly accentuated her neck, highlighting her slender, rounded neck and graceful figure. The side slit below her knees was just right.
Unlike her usual aloofness, she exuded a more charming and alluring aura.
In order not to trouble Lu Jingyan, she politely declined his request to pick her up.
Fearing that Shi Wan might misunderstand the purpose of the dinner, it was not held at the Lu family's old residence, but instead moved to Qingshan Yazhu.
As a secluded villa area in Kyoto, the community has not many villas, but its security is among the best in Kyoto.
Shi Wan drove her Mercedes coupe and arrived in thirty minutes. Once inside the residential area, she was attracted by the large number of rare and exotic plants in the villa area, so she parked her car on the roadside two or three hundred meters away from Lu Jingyan's courtyard.
Seeing that it was still early, he took a walk towards his house, occasionally taking pictures of the exotic flowers and plants along the way to share with Ji Meng.
Just then, a black Bugatti drove past from behind. Shi Wan didn't pay any attention, but when the people in the car saw her face, they stopped the car and strode back.
Feng Yunzhou never imagined he would meet Shi Wan in Kyoto, or even in China.
He walked up to Shi Wan, his lips pressed tightly together, his eyes gradually reddening, his cold gaze filled with chilling intent, and his tall and imposing figure seemed to envelop Shi Wan at this moment.
Although Shi Wan knew that Feng Yunzhou had come to Kyoto, she did not expect that Ji Meng's prediction would come true so unfortunately.
His smile vanished, replaced by an instant chill. "Please move aside!"
After speaking, she quickly passed Feng Yunzhou and walked towards the Lu family courtyard. Feng Yunzhou was perhaps angry about Shi Wan's sudden disappearance, or perhaps he felt guilty for deceiving her.
Conflicting thoughts kept pounding in his head. Feng Yunzhou grabbed Shi Wan's hand tightly, squeezing her fair and slender wrist until it hurt.
She's lost weight again... Has she not been eating properly? Is it...?
The tall, imposing man's aura pressed down on her even more. Looking at her wrist, which was now red from being pinched, Shi Wan cried out in pain and then shook off Feng Yunzhou's hand.
"Mr. Feng, as a married man, are you trying to harass me now, or don't you have to worry about your wife running away again?"
Shi Wan's cold words made Feng Yunzhou pause, and the words he was about to say became extremely difficult to utter, "Wanwan, she has suffered a lot abroad over the years, I can't let her down."
Perhaps due to his own inner conflict, his feelings for Shi Wan were not as unforgettable as he had expected. The years he spent with Shi Wan almost made him forget his purpose in searching for Lin Zhiyu.
If Lin Zhiyu hadn't returned to China a year ago, perhaps he would have married Shi Wan, and perhaps Shi Wan would have become Lady Feng.
"So you choose to betray me?" Shi Wan's eyes were slightly red with anger as she glanced at Feng Yunzhou, unwilling to be in the same space with him for even a second.
"Wanwan, I've arranged for someone to manage the house in Y country. You can go back anytime you want."
"Enough! Don't call me Wanwan with that mouth of yours! What right do you have to do that! You've been lying to me from the very beginning. You only saw me as a shadow of your fiancée. Years of feelings couldn't outweigh the misunderstandings you saw! What I've lost, you can never make up for!"
Shi Wan coldly interrupted Feng Yunzhou's thoughts, "I am very grateful to you for accompanying me through the dark period, but now we are even."
After saying that, he was about to turn around and walk towards the Lu residence.
At that moment, a pink Cullinan came from the opposite direction, saw the parked car on the side of the road, and stopped.
"Cousin, how does your brother-in-law know this woman?" Lin Yue asked the girl, who was a few years older than her, in the driver's seat.
"I wonder who's keeping her. Last time at the banquet, she even pulled out a black gold card. Even the Ye family doesn't have this card, yet she managed to produce it. She looks like a pure and innocent flower on the surface, but inside she's filthy." After saying that, he rolled his eyes at Shi Wan with a look of disdain.
"She can only fool men, she looks like a vixen who hasn't had enough!"
The beautiful woman in the driver's seat had a calm expression, but her eyes held a deep shadow, and her expression was filled with undisguised sarcasm.
Stepping out of the car, she immediately put on a gentle and warm smile. "Yunzhou, it's time to go. Your uncle and aunt are waiting for us."
Lin Zhiyu hadn't seen Shi Wan's face clearly in the car, but now, standing in front of her and looking at the younger and more beautiful Shi Wan, he quickly concealed his inner turmoil. He gently held Feng Yunzhou's hand as if asserting his ownership, "Yunzhou, do you know this young lady?"
Shi Wan didn't want to get entangled with them, so she spoke first, "This gentleman is lost and just happened to ask me for directions, but I'm not very familiar with this area either, so I can't help him."
Feng Yunzhou's hands, hanging by his sides, clenched tighter and tighter, with an almost imperceptible sense of restraint. He forced himself to stand still, not looking at her departing figure.
Zhiyu is back. Isn't this the result he's been striving for all these years? Isn't Shi Wan just a substitute for his fiancée?
Now that I have gotten what I wanted, why does seeing Shi Wan again cause a dull pain in my chest and a metallic taste in my throat?
He closed his bloodshot eyes briefly, then squeezed Lin Zhiyu's palm with his long, slender hands, as if to reassure her. "Zhiyu, it's windy outside, let's go."
After saying that, he took Lin Zhiyu's hand and got into his car.
Watching her cousin walk away, Lin Yue got out of the car and stopped Shi Wan, saying sullenly, "Which sugar daddy's card did you use to go to the banquet last time? In Beijing, it's not easy to climb into anyone's bed. So what if you have a pretty face? Once those bosses get tired of you, you'll be thrown out like trash!"
She called out to Lin Zhiyu and Feng Yunzhou as they walked away, "Cousin, keep an eye on your husband, or he might get seduced by some vixen."
Shi Wan looked at Lin Yue coldly, "Did you hear that?"
Lin Yue didn't react for a moment.
"The noisiest dog in this area has started barking." After saying that, he ignored Lin Yue and continued walking forward.
"You, you shameless woman, who gave you permission to come here! Do you even deserve to be here? A mistress like you dares to step into our home!"
After saying that, she reached out and pushed Shi Wan's back. Shi Wan didn't expect Lin Yue to do that, and she lost her balance. Coupled with her still-healing leg injury, she couldn't withstand the sudden impact and fell straight forward and to the side...
Lu Jingyan had been waiting since Shi Wan entered the villa area, but half an hour had passed and she still hadn't shown up. Seeing her son's impatience, Lu's mother sighed and thought that some people were going to be in trouble this time.
As soon as Lu Jingyan stepped out of the hall, the sharp-eyed Nannan rushed over, "Uncle, can you take me with you to pick up Teacher Wanwan?"
The naturally lively and cheerful Nan Nan blinked her big, watery eyes and pleaded pitifully with Lu Jingyan.
At this moment, Beibei also took Lu Jingyan's hand with a serious expression, "Wanwan is already very confused, she must be lost, let's go find her together."
Helplessly, Lu Jingyan took Xiao Nanbei's hand to pick up today's leading lady. As soon as they stepped out of the courtyard gate, they saw Shi Wan being pushed down. Lu Jingyan let go of Xiao Nanbei's hand and rushed over to hug Shi Wan.
The moment Shi Wan fell, she was still thinking about how she would go to visit someone with all her dirty clothes when Lu Jingyan immediately staged a heroic rescue.
"Teacher Wanwan!"
"Wanwan!"
The two little ones exclaimed in surprise, thinking that if Teacher Wanwan fell, she would definitely cry and look for her mother. Luckily, her uncle was there.
"Wanwan, are you hurt anywhere?" Lu Jingyan's eyes were filled with coldness when he saw Shi Wan's red wrist.
After confirming that there was no serious damage elsewhere, he looked up at Lin Yue with a gloomy expression, his cold eyes sending chills down Lin Yue's spine.
"Since when did the Lin family get the right to act recklessly at my doorstep?"
"No, no...Young Master Lu, she's a vixen! She seduced my sister's fiancé first!"
"She went to that banquet last time with her black gold card; I wonder who's keeping her..."
Lu Jingyan's lips curled into a chillingly fierce expression. "Shut up! Who do you think you are?" The veins on his hand supporting Shi Wan bulged as his suppressed anger reached its breaking point.
Shi Wan pressed Lu Jingyan's palm, and Lu Jingyan knew that he had almost lost his composure in front of Shi Wan.
He suppressed the anger in his eyes, his face revealing no emotion, and said in a slightly hoarse but authoritative voice, "The Lin family does not want to disappear from Kyoto. Have Lin Zhengwei come and apologize to my friend within three days."
After saying that, Lin Yue was left shivering in the cold wind. She thought Shi Wan was just being kept by some rich man, but she didn't expect that she had gotten involved with the Lu family.
