Chapter 256: Chapter 256: Brother Annan, Look at Me (3) Chapter 256: Chapter 256: Brother Annan, Look at Me (3) Ji Jiaming had thought she would say a few more words, or that she would confront him impulsively when he spoke so disparagingly of her mother’s efforts.
But she quickly accepted the reality, remaining humble and polite, without any intention of humiliating herself by begging him.
“Are you sure Mr. Gu wants to see you now?” Ji Jiaming asked coldly, a mocking smile playing on his lips, “It’s my grandfather’s grand birthday, and given the relationship between our families and the Gu Family, you being Gu Annan’s fiancee and also being in Manchester, yet he didn’t bring you along. Do you know why?”
Lu Wanwan looked at him squarely, sensing some hostility, although it was not obvious.
Lu Kexin had said that the second young master Ji was very fond of his sister, and if so, she probably knew why.
“Your engagement was very low-profile, and not many people know about it even now. That’s probably for the best.” Ji Jiaming nodded, a chill flashing in his eyes, and his voice deepening, “It will make it much easier for you to call off the engagement, without causing too much trouble for my sister.”
“What did you say?” She was a bit bewildered, feeling that his words had an underlying meaning.
“Go inside,” Ji Jiaming said with a cold, mocking smile on his lips, “although Mr. Gu might not be free to see you at this time.”
Lu Wanwan did not say much more and walked into the Ji Family home in silence.
Watching her retreating figure, Ji Jiaming leisurely pulled out his phone. “She’s gone inside; you handle it now. I’ve delayed her long enough for you; it’s time to be ready.”
When Lu Wanwan entered the Ji Family home, not many people noticed, and those who saw this unfamiliar face just glanced at her a bit more.
She looked around but didn’t see Gu Annan, nor did she recognize anyone.
“Is the sobering soup ready yet? The young lady said to send it up as soon as it is.”
“I think Mr. Gu isn’t that drunk, but I just went to hurry them.”
When Lu Wanwan walked back to the villa from the garden, she heard two servants talking.
“The young lady said she doesn’t want to see Mr. Gu even slightly drunk, she wants to hear his sober answer, I wonder if Mr. Gu will agree to the old master’s request.”
“I think he will, the young lady has been deeply infatuated with Mr. Gu since childhood.”
“Wasn’t it said that Mr. Gu was engaged?”
“Ha, have you ever seen that fiancee? With the kind of family the Gu family is, keeping things quiet is just their way of making a clean break.”
Lu Wanwan, upon hearing ‘send it up,’ started walking towards the staircase.
Even though she was walking away, the last few sentences still transmitted so distinctly to her ears.
It seemed as if the bustle around her quieted down as well.
Her steps quickened, her arms trembling unconsciously.
Without thinking much, after going upstairs, she opened every door she passed, not caring who might be inside or if she might disturb someone.
Only one voice in her heart pleaded, Gu Annan, please don’t be here.
Even though she had rushed here to find him, now, she only hoped not to find him.
The curtains were drawn tight, darkening the room.
Ji Jiayi sat on the bed in a light pink cocktail dress, the lace at the front almost completely torn off.
She stared unwaveringly at the man seated in front of her, his eyes bloodshot and filled with a fiery madness, but in her eyes, this madness was a wildly sexy allure, holding her gaze captivated.
The wine contained a drug that could rob a person of their senses, finally making this man, who wouldn’t normally let her get close, seem so real.
He too was a normal man, it was just a pity she had to drug him to elicit such wildness.
