I feigned shyness. "Xi Ci, how can you say that? I, I'm already married."
"Wan Wan, we've been together for so many years. I don't want any regrets. Are you willing to give your body to a stranger? He's disabled? Maybe some of his functions have already been lost."
"But this is the Lu family..."
"It's so busy tonight, no one will notice us."
"Let me think."
After saying that, I pretended to run away. When I turned back, I saw the triumphant smile on the man's face.
Ha, what true love?
If he truly loved Jiang Wan Wan, he wouldn't have betrayed her. Now he's just reluctant to part with her.
If I'm not mistaken, he'll definitely find a way to take advantage of Jiang Wan Wan, making her his lover, solely responsible for satisfying his needs.
Men in this world are truly disgusting.
But Fu Xi Ci, if you knew you were so disgusting, I wouldn't have shown any mercy.
I waited at the door for a long time, and finally someone arrived. The woman I saw with Lu Shiyan after my death was the third daughter of the Fu family, Fu Xici's sister, Fu Xue.
She volunteered at the children's shelter after my death. Her back looked a bit like my old self, so Lu Shiyan mistook her for her.
Jiang Wanwan knew her well enough. "Sister Fu Xue."
"Wanwan, long time no see. Why did you get married without a word? You're still young, you could have stayed a few more years."
"It doesn't make much difference whether I stay or not. I'm doing fine now. Sister, please come in. It's too cold outside."
Fu Xue always had a gentle demeanor, but if I was not mistaken, there was something different about the way she looked at Lu Shiyan. "Wanwan, how are the Lu family treating you?"
"Pretty well. I'm young, and they dote on me. Dad even entrusted me with such an important dinner."
"No wonder. I saw you looked good. I'm glad you've gotten over that incident. After all, it was my brother who wronged you. I can see that the old man still cares about you and hosted this dinner just for you."
I shook my head. "It's true that this dinner is for Yanchen and me, but it's actually for my eldest brother. He hasn't been well lately, and the old man wants to find Shi Yan a new marriage to cheer him up."
"But didn't his ex-wife just pass away?" Fu Xue sounded very concerned. "Yes, he's been feeling a bit down lately and has been hospitalized several times."
"So how is he now?"
I sighed. "The loss of his ex-wife was a huge blow to him. While it's not ideal to find him a partner right now, my eldest brother is ill again. Dad has no choice but to ask me to arrange a marriage for him at tonight's dinner. Sister, please don't tell anyone about this."
Fu Xue's eyes flashed, and she suddenly grabbed my hand. "Sister, how do you feel about me?"
"Very well, what's wrong, sister?"
"Would you be willing to do me a favor?"
"Sister, tell me."
Fu Xue looked around to see if there was anyone around, then spoke. "Actually, I've had feelings for Lu Shiyan for many years. When I was in a car accident on the elevated highway, he risked his life to pull me out and take me to the hospital. I was truly devoted to him, but unfortunately, he had Su Wan by his side at the time, so I could only silently wish him well. Now that Su Wan is gone, I think..."
I was right. Fu Xue did have feelings for Lu Shiyan. "Sister, that's a tough situation. Dad has his eyes on several daughters. You know the Lu family's influence in this city. If he asks, no one will refuse to marry."
"Sister, you must help me. I've already let him go once, and this time, I won't give up again. I must be the first to do it."
"Sister, what are you planning to do?"
She whispered her plan in my ear, and I was shocked. "This, this isn't right."
"Sister, I really want to marry him. Please help me."
"Okay then."
I reluctantly agreed. When we entered, Su Ning'an came over to toast me.
"Aunt, you look so beautiful today. All the men are staring at you."
I smiled at her. "You've been kicked out of the Lu family, and you're still calling me Aunt. What qualifications do you have?"
"Jiang Wanwan, you're the one who gets ahead," she said viciously. My smile brightened. "I only know that good is rewarded, and evil is punished. It's not that there's no retribution, it's just that the time hasn't come yet. Once the opportunity arrives, everything will be fully repaid."
Su Ning'an smiled. "I'd like to see what retribution I can expect."
"Miss Su, perhaps you don't know that besides you, there are others who dream of marrying Lu Shiyan. If you want to marry into the Lu family, forget it."
Su Ning'an stared at me coldly. "Even if I can't marry into the Lu family, you'll be kicked out. If you don't believe me, we'll see."
She seemed confident.
I chuckled and ignored her, following Lu Yanchen and chatting enthusiastically with the guests.
Until Shen Ji suddenly entered and whispered something in my ear.
I nodded, everything under control.
"Yanchen, I'll go say hello to the guests."
"Okay."
I swayed into the crowd, readily engaging with some of the elders, earning a wave of praise.
Jiang Qing had been clinging to my mother like a fly tonight. The Su family, as always, kept their distance from me. It was Fu Xici who offered me a glass of wine.
"Mr. Fu, I'm not a big drinker."
"This is a nice gesture from me. Just a few sips will do."
I took the wine and took a sip, and he left, satisfied.
My peripheral vision caught Su Ning'an's eye. Sure enough, she had been staring at me as I drank.
Taking advantage of their inattention, I turned around, took the napkin Shen Ji offered, and spit out the entire bottle.
Fu Xue approached Lu Shiyan to chat. Although his injuries had healed considerably, Lu Shiyan had been receiving treatment for kidney failure and taking medication to suppress his stomach cancer. He sat there listlessly, looking rather listless. Fu Xue's conversation with him had initially disinterested him.
As soon as he saw Su Ning'an approaching, he pulled Fu Xue away, not giving her even a chance.
I winked at Xiao Tao, and she replaced Su Ning'an's orange juice. She couldn't drink alcohol because she was pregnant, but she still needed to interact with people, so drinking was inevitable.
My phone rang in my pocket. It was a message from Fu Xici.
[Wanwan, come here. I missed you.]
I didn't reply, pretending to walk in the direction he'd left.
Su Ning'an, seeing this, hurried over. The adultery plot was repeated, this time, it was her scheme against Fu Xici and me.
She wanted to catch me in the act and have the Lu family kick me out.
Little did she know, the moment she followed, she was knocked unconscious by Shen Ji.
I had Shen Ji take her to her room, which was completely dark.
Shen Ji sent a bodyguard over and found Fu Xici lingering outside the utility room. Sure enough, he'd already set up the spot Su Ning'an had given him.
The bodyguard whispered something in his ear, and Fu Xici couldn't wait to enter the room.
I'd anticipated Su Ning'an's move. The best way to hate someone is to ruin their reputation. Jiang Wanwan and Fu Xici were so deeply in love in the past, so she'll definitely team up with him!
If Jiang Wanwan's continued involvement with her former lover is discovered by the Lu family, she'll definitely be kicked out!
All she needs to do is seduce Fu Xici a little more, and that man, driven by his lower body, will naturally lose his mind.
When Fu Xici asked me to accompany him tonight, I knew he'd fallen for Su Ning'an's trick.
So let me use you for a bit, Su Ning'an. You asked for it.
After tonight, you'll never be able to marry into the Lu family again.
Sure enough, soon the chaotic sounds of a man and a woman intertwining could be heard from inside. Under the effects of the drug, how could anyone tell who was who?
Su Ning'an mistook him for Lu Shiyan, and Fu Xici mistook her for Jiang Wanwan.
What would Jiang Zhi, the sole victim, think?
Tsk, I can't wait to see the expression on her face.
