Lu Rongyu was trembling with anger.
From the moment she first saw Gu Tingyan, she had a feeling that he should belong only to her. He should be there for her, his eyes should only see her, he should protect her, cherish her, and help her overcome all obstacles. However, the reality was that Gu Tingyan was full of disgust and aversion towards her, and he was so close to her biggest enemy—the Lu An'an family!
She suppressed her resentment and bitterness, and her feet involuntarily moved towards Gu Tingyan. She had only taken one step when she saw Gu Tingyan's face full of disgust and rejection. He took half a step back, looked at her coldly, and uttered, "Get lost."
Lu Rongyu felt a pang of pain in her heart when Gu Tingyan took a half step back, and her resentment turned into intense hatred.
She slowly surveyed her surroundings, the faces of everyone present clearly reflected in her vision. Their indifference and aloofness at that moment, like sharp ice blades, repeatedly pierced her heart.
She vowed that he would remember the humiliation of today, and that everyone here would pay the price for their heartlessness and indifference!

On the other side, Lu An'an rushed back to the ancestral hall and anxiously ran to Lu Wenjing, who had been pushed to the ground. She bent down to help him up and asked anxiously, "Brother, are you alright?"
Lu Wenjing forced himself to sit up, one hand quietly covering the throbbing wound on his abdomen. His face was almost transparently pale, but he still tried to comfort his sister in the calmest tone: "I'm fine, An'an, let's go, the fire has started."
Lu An'an's keen eyes caught her brother's barely concealed pain. She desperately pried open his tightly clenched hands, and the sight before her made her heart sink—Lu Wenjing's abdomen was stained red with blood.
[Damn it! She didn't just push me, she actually stabbed me?!]
Her face was grim, but feeling the rising temperature, she took a deep breath to calm herself down, took out some hemostatic powder, quickly sprinkled it on Lu Wenjing's wound, and then without saying a word, she picked Lu Wenjing up in a princess carry and rushed out of the ancestral hall.
Lu Wenjing: "!!!"
He hurriedly grabbed Lu An'an's neck with one hand, his face flushed, his voice urgent and tinged with an indescribable shyness: "An'an, quickly put your brother down, he can walk."
Lu An'an remained unmoved and said in a serious tone, "Big brother, you're injured, and the fire is so big right now, we need to get out of here quickly."
This is the first time I've ever carried a man in a princess carry; it feels quite unique.
Lu Wenjing felt utterly hopeless. This was the first time he had ever been carried in a princess carry by a girl, and it was his own sister no less. He could already imagine that if he were carried out in this position, his domineering CEO image would definitely be ruined.
Lu An'an carried Lu Wenjing as they scurried through the increasingly engulfed ancestral hall, searching for a place to escape.
But the fire was too big, and many places were already ablaze, making it impossible to find a way through. Lu An'an frowned.
[With this fire, it'll be difficult to get out unharmed. Oh well, at least I can get my brother out safely.]
Hearing the voice in his heart, Lu Wenjing felt a chill and quickly said, "Little sister, put your big brother down. The fire is so big, it's inconvenient for you to hold me. I can walk."
If only one person could go out, he insisted on letting his sister go.
Lu An'an shook her head, resolutely refusing to let go, "Big brother, I'm sure I can get you out of here."
[I never expected that my older brother would still be caught in the fire plot. Even though the storyline is completely different now, Lu Rongyu still managed to take advantage of the situation. I'm speechless.]
Lu Wenjing's eyes were filled with coldness. The person who pushed him was actually Lu Rongyu. This time, he would settle all the old and new scores with her.
I've been keeping an eye on Lu An'an's customer service, and after holding back for so long, I couldn't help but remind them.
Honey, how about you take a look at the blind box I got for you?
Lu An'an opened the backpack suspiciously, and her eyes widened when she saw the hidden item inside.
[Fireproof, theft-proof, lightning-proof, rainproof umbrella?]
[Damn, you guys managed to get your hands on a real umbrella?]
[Customer Service (smugly): It's alright, this is practically a must-have for a fire! Honey, trust me, once this umbrella is opened, the rain will definitely be heavier than the day Yiping went to her dad for money!]
【Huh? How did you do that? Did you use a talisman?】
Lu An'an remembered that her fellow disciple liked to draw these strange talismans, so she subconsciously thought that there might be some kind of rain talisman or something similar pasted inside the umbrella.
The customer service representative was surprised.
[How did you know, my dear? This is a new romance-themed rain charm that just went on sale a couple of days ago. The umbrella is buy one get one free.]
[...You guys are really good at coming up with names.]
She curiously took out the umbrella, forgetting that she was still holding her older brother, and the long umbrella handle poked Lu Wenjing's butt.
Lu Wenjing: "..."
Lu An'an: "..."
[Holy crap! How am I supposed to explain that an umbrella suddenly appeared in my hand?!]
The customer service representative was gloating.
【Sweetie~ You can say you found it~】
[...I'll file a complaint against you, believe it or not.]
Customer service: Hehe~
Lu An'an awkwardly stared at Lu Wenjing, unable to think of a reason, and silently raised the umbrella, signaling Lu Wenjing to open it.
As soon as the umbrella was opened, a torrential downpour began to pour inside. Lu An'an, her face covered in umbrella water, walked forward expressionlessly, her tone aloof: "Don't ask. Just let this rain fall, so you won't see the struggle on my face."
Lu Wenjing's lips twitched, he wiped the water off his face, and tried his best to maintain his domineering CEO expression.
Okay, he definitely won't ask. As a good older brother, he should give his younger sister enough face!
