“Second Aunt, you’re thinking too much! I’m not being sarcastic. What I’m saying is the truth. My mom is accompanying my dad to all sorts of high society events, and she has met more people than you. Why would you call this sarcasm? Could it be that Second Aunt has always been jealous of my mom?”
“Lu Manman!” Lan Xiaojun was losing control of her emotions as she screamed.
Lu Manman even smiled so innocently.
Lan Xiaojun was so angry she wanted to walk over and slap her a few times. But with Lu Qinzheng around, she did not dare to be too presumptuous.
“Enough!” Lu Qinzheng’s stern voice was very loud.
Lan Xiaojun swallowed her anger and kept quiet. She was evidently still suppressing her anger.
Lu Manman smiled sweetly. “Grandpa, I’m still young, so I’m a little too hasty sometimes. It’s really accidental that I offended Second Aunt. I believe Second Aunt wouldn’t stoop to my level.”
Lu Qinzheng’s expression remained the same. “I don’t want to waste my energy on you anymore. Lu Manman, let me ask you something. How are you going to handle your relationship with Wen Yun?”
“I don’t know either.” Lu Manman shook her head.
“The Wen family is the only aristocratic family in Wen City, and our Lu family needs Wen City’s backing. It’s normal for a man to make mistakes occasionally, but don’t take it to heart. When the limelight is over, you’d better get married to Wen Yun. The Lu family and the Wen family have always had marriage plans, and your dad was supposed to be able to have a good marriage with the Wen family as well. It was all because of your mom that he lost his chance at marriage. Don’t be like your dad. You have to be able to tell the difference between good and bad! If your dad had gotten together with the Wen family’s daughter back then, the Lu Firm would have been much more powerful now!” Lu Qinzheng was getting angrier as he spoke.
Lu Manman was sneering inside.
She knew that nothing good would happen if Lu Qinzheng called her back.
No matter what, the Lu family had been a powerful family for a long time. As a member of the Lu family, Lu Qinzheng wanted to see the family progress well. However, he had never considered the feelings of his descendants before.
“Grandpa, I know how to handle my matters with Wen Yun.” Lu Manman was in no mood to continue. She did not need to report her matters to these people.
“Just listen to me! I’ll tell Old Master Wen later that you will be marrying Wen Yun in a short while.” Lu Qinzheng insisted.
“I hope that I can solve it myself.”
“Lu Manman, you won’t even listen to me!” Lu Qinzheng was fuming.
Lu Zichuan fanned the flames. “Just like her dad, she thinks too highly of herself. She has no respect for her elders!”
“Second Uncle, it’s alright if you don’t like me, but why do you have to talk about my dad like that? Don’t forget that my dad even got Xuanran to be groomed by the company. Even if you don’t want to thank him, you shouldn’t be hitting him while he’s down, right?!”
“Lu Manman, you!” Lu Zichuan jumped out as well, and his face went red with anger!
“I would love to come back and visit Grandpa, Second Uncle, and Second Aunt more often. Even though something huge had happened to me, I forced myself to smile so that you wouldn’t worry. Who would have known that we would end up like this? I really don’t know what I did wrong. Since you don’t welcome me, I’m leaving,” Lu Manman said as if she had been wronged.
When the others heard that, they flew into a rage.
When did Lu Manman become so uncontrollable? They were obviously fuming, but they couldn’t say a word. They could only suppress their anger, but it was unbearable.
“Cousin.” Lu Xuanran suddenly called out to her.
Lu Manman paused for a while and then asked in a friendly manner, “Xuanran, why did you call me?”
“Is it because of Mo Yuanxiu that you’re unwilling to accept Grandpa’s arrangement?” Lu Xuanran asked as he waved his cell phone. He had been looking at his cell phone since he arrived and had probably seen some news.
Lu Manman feigned ignorance.
“Mo Yuanxiu proposed to you?” Lu Xuanran smiled deviously. “You fell for someone else so soon?”
“Lu Manman!” When Lu Qinzheng heard this, he jumped to his feet. “I know what kind of person Mo Yuanxiu is. Don’t be so despicable!”
Despicable?!
Was this how he should describe his granddaughter?
Lu Manman might have felt terrible in her previous life, even extremely upset.
But now…
She simply smiled and coldly said, “Marrying Wen Yun is what you call despicable!”
