Lu Yanchen handed me the sales receipt. "This is Madam Lu. From now on, all the bills from Baolou will be reviewed by my wife."
The manager looked surprised. The news that Lu Yanchen and I had secretly obtained our marriage certificate hadn't spread yet.
But since Lu Yanchen had said this himself, he immediately corrected himself: "I'm shortsighted. I didn't recognize Madam."
"It's okay. You can go." I finally took advantage of the situation.
The two people beside me were practically vomiting blood. Jiang Zhi pointed at my face. "You, you're working together to raise the price and defraud people!"
"Sister, I don't like what you're saying. What do you mean by raising the price? Didn't you insist on competing with me? For the sake of our sisterhood, didn't I finally let you have your way?"
Fu Xici realized I'd tricked him. The Fu and Jiang families didn't care about a mere two billion, but he, Fu Xici, couldn't afford to lose face!
Considering my reaction just now, it made them look like fools! He didn't embarrass me, but instead looked at Lu Yanchen. "I've heard all about Mr. Lu's legendary business career. I'm curious. Did he build all that empire by cheating and deceiving people?"
Lu Yanchen raised his eyelids and looked at him. I'd assumed he'd be so cold and reserved, he wouldn't say anything.
Who knew Lu Yanchen would say coldly, "Idiot."
He didn't even beat around the bush, just called me an idiot.
It was extremely hurtful and insulting!
What a thrilling drama!
I chimed in, "Thank you, Miss Jiang and Mr. Fu, for the two billion. Shangbao Tower welcomes you next time."
Jiang Zhi fumed, "Jiang Wanwan, just wait!"
I was so happy.
Wanwan, did you see that in heaven?
I said I'd avenge you. This is just the beginning. I won't let anyone who stole your things go.
On the way home, I couldn't suppress my smile.
"Are you so happy?"
I'm so happy! I once witnessed Jiang Wanwan at her most helpless. She and Fu Xici were high school classmates.
Back then, Jiang Wanwan was a withdrawn person, and Fu Xici took the initiative to enter her world, becoming her ray of hope.
But then, Jiang Wanwan caught him in bed with her own sister.
Jiang Zhi, wearing sexy pajamas, brazenly crossed her legs, making no attempt to conceal her feelings: "You saw it? That's perfect. We were already asleep."
Jiang Wanwan's depression worsened. Fu Xici later approached her, saying he'd simply made a common mistake.
Because Jiang Wanwan didn't want to have sex with him, he simply wanted to vent.
After they broke up, Jiang Wanwan fell into a deep abyss, never to recover.
I once heard her desolate voice on the rooftop. Back then, I couldn't understand. How could anyone in this world not live a good life?
Until I saw those clips later, I realized that from childhood, Jiang Wanwan had lived in darkness, apart from her mother's love. She had a chance to move on, but Fu Xici dealt her a heavy blow.
Even if he'd cheated on me with someone else, Jiang Wanwan wouldn't have taken this desperate step.
This is probably fate.
Jiang Wanwan's departure gave me a chance at a new life, and I cherish this hard-earned life immensely.
I smiled at Lu Yanchen: "Happy."
He reached out and brushed away the tears from my eyes. "How could you be crying when you're happy?"
Yes, you should be smiling when you're happy.
But the tears just fell uncontrollably.
I don't know if it was for Su Wan or for Jiang Wanwan.
These two equally kind, yet equally pitiful people.
Why do kind people constantly fight to death, while evil people seem so carefree?
I'll make them feel the same way about hell!
Lu Yanchen pulled me into his arms. "Stop crying."
I sat on his lap, crying silently for the first time in a man's arms.
How wonderful! Now I finally have tears. Tears gradually soaked his clothes, but he didn't mind. He whispered softly in my ear, "It's all over."
I looked up at him through tearful eyes. His gaze seemed to see straight into my heart, knowing exactly what I was thinking.
"What?"
He spoke slowly, "You must have suffered a lot in the past, crying like this. It's okay. It won't happen again."
Yes, it won't happen again.
Back at the Lu family's house, I took a bath and relaxed.
I made a big profit today and avenged Jiang Wanwan in the process. I was in a great mood.
"Mr. Lu, do you have any wine?"
"Yes, I'll drink with you."
"Okay." My eyes lit up.
There was a lot of good wine on the floor last time, and I was craving it.
I used to help Lu Shiyan negotiate business, and I also developed a good drinking tolerance. I happily opened two bottles of his fine wine and swirled the glass. "Mr. Lu, this is a toast to you. Thank you for your tolerance and cooperation! I hope you'll continue to give me guidance in the future."
He curled his lips slightly. "Okay."
I downed it in one gulp, then poured another half glass. "This is a toast to myself."
I was reborn! I survived!
Lu Yanchen let me. "Okay."
Finally, I poured another glass and held it up to the sky, silently praying in my heart.
Wanwan, this is a toast to you. I hope you can find your sun in your next life and live a good life.
Just as I was about to drink, Lu Yanchen said, "Drink less. This wine has a strong aftertaste."
I smiled at him. "No problem, I can drink quite well." To prove my tolerance, I gulped down the whole thing.
The next moment, my head was spinning.
Ah, I forgot. While I can drink quite well, this body of Jiang Wanwan's cannot!
The body collapsed with a thud. "Bang!"
The wine glass shattered to the ground, while my body rested limply in a firm embrace.
I leaned weakly against his embrace, slurring my words, "Mr. Lu...Mr. Lu..."
He looked down at me, "You're drunk."
"I think...I see two Lu Yanchens."
I raised my hand, trying to pat the double image.
But the man grabbed my hand, "Don't touch me."
Touch?
My mind was growing increasingly confused. What was I touching?
Lu Yanchen's face?
I propped him up, one hand on the wheelchair, the other holding his chin.
"Lu Yanchen, you know what? I used to be afraid of you. I thought you were a cold-faced devil."
I thought he smiled. "Really? Are you that scary?"
"Of course. You could eat me with just one mouth! But your mouth isn't that big..."
I reached out and rubbed his lips. They were soft and the color was beautiful. His lips weren't dark, and his skin was pale, giving him the look of a stunningly beautiful manga character.
"Why am I so scared of you? Do you have fangs?"
My fingertips reached into his mouth, insisting on feeling his teeth.
The man couldn't stand my indiscriminate prodding and opened his mouth to cooperate.
My fingers swished and swished inside his mouth.
"Why are your ears red?" I asked drunkenly, my mind completely fading.
"Let me see, are you a transformed rabbit spirit?"
Drowsily, I tilted my head to see his ears, and the man turned his head, his lips crashing down on mine.
I instinctively tried to move away, but he suddenly pulled me into his arms, his large hand gripping the back of my head, deepening the kiss.
"Wanwan, you're right. I've always wanted to eat you."
