Chapter 14: Chapter 14: Heart Racing
Lu Wanwan’s wrist ached terribly, and she despaired upon hearing Gu Annan’s words.
Auntie Li tactfully nodded and stepped back, then the Gu Mansion fell silent again.
“If you’re busy, I won’t disturb you any longer,” she feigned ignorance immediately.
Gu Annan glanced at her panicked look as if she thought she were in a dragon’s den.
Lu Wanwan’s wrist was released, and she gently massaged it. Looking up, she asked, “Why did you bring me here?”
He shoved his hands into his pockets, “To investigate everything related to my fiancée.”
“She’s ungrateful and hypocritical, always pretending. Is that enough?”
“It sounds like you hate her to the bone. So, for the safety of my fiancée, from now on I forbid you from approaching her,” a cold voice responded, “and that also means you don’t need to return to the Lu Family either.”
Lu Wanwan stared in disbelief at his stunningly handsome, cold face.
After a moment, she clenched her teeth and said, “I can assure you I won’t touch a single hair on her head. Can I go now?”
She didn’t want to get close to Lu Kexin, nor did she want to go back to the Lu Family.
But she still needed money; her current salary was far from enough.
Gu Annan didn’t answer whether she could leave, “Continue talking about yourself, like why you had the club people find me to let you in.”
This was the question Lu Wanwan least wanted to answer.
“Because I couldn’t find anyone else.”
“I’m asking why you wanted to go in,” his voice dropped a few notches, his gaze locking onto Lu Wanwan’s black pupils, not shifting away for a moment.
She felt it was torture, this interrogative questioning.
“I went there to find someone.”
The questioning voice was cold as ice, “Who and for what purpose?”
Lu Wanwan actually did not want to answer this question, did not want him to know how hard her life was now, as it would make her feel even less dignified in front of him.
“Who I was looking for, didn’t you see it already?”
She glanced and saw suppressed anger in Gu Annan’s dark pupils, and her heart rate accelerated.
This time, it was not because she admired his looks, but entirely because of his expression.
Under that stern gaze, Lu Wanwan simply decided to face the worst.
To her future brother-in-law, what point was there in hiding her situation? Once he got engaged, and then married to Lu Kexin, he would understand her current plight all too well.
“Zui Entertainment wanted a headline for an issue; I happened to get Bai Lingyun’s schedule and needed a story that would drive sales. Clearly, I was the one to do this. Yes, I am interning at Zui Entertainment, so you’d better be careful. The heir of Gu Corporation is also a guarantee for sales, and I won’t go easy!”
It wasn’t that she was ashamed of this job; it’s just that Zui Entertainment had a rather poor reputation.
Especially in the eyes of celebrities, being called a sewer rat wouldn’t be an overstatement. Yet it was still a publication that people cursed while buying, always envied by its peers in sales.
“Is it for the money?”
Lu Wanwan did not wait for the disdain she expected but listened to his questioning tone in a mellow voice.
“Can’t you believe that your fiancée’s sister, the eldest daughter of the Lu Family, is now willing to do anything for money?” she scoffed self-mockingly.
Upon hearing that she would do anything for money, he recalled all her actions at the restroom doorway earlier.
If he hadn’t happened to come to the club then, she really could have ended up doing anything!
“Can I go now?” Lu Wanwan didn’t feel like explaining so much.
Just as she was about to step away, she heard his voice, “How much do you need?”
