Chapter 97: Chapter 97 Don’t Overthink It
The security immediately stepped forward and, without any explanation, took Lin Xin out.
“Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu, it was a misunderstanding… it was my cousin who invited me, you can’t kick me out!”
Before the eyes of countless people, Lin Xin was directly dragged away.
“Mom! What should we do? I’ve lost all my dignity.” Outside the hotel, inside the Lu Family’s car, Lu Kexin cried out loud, “How could this happen!”
Lin Yu was also seething, “Who would have known something would happen.”
As she spoke, she glanced at Lu Jingtian, who had a gloomy face, and continued, “Ah, it’s all because I’m useless, making my daughter a laughing stock along with me. But I can’t understand how suddenly, it became Wanwan?”
“Enough,” Lu Jingtian clenched his fist tightly, “Let’s end the matter here. No matter what, at least the Gu Family didn’t break off the engagement.”
“Dad, how can you be ? How can I face anyone after this?” Lu Kexin dabbed at her tears, “From now on, everyone will see me as a bastard, beneath them. The one who was supposed to marry into the Gu Family was clearly me, how could it change at the last minute in such an embarrassing way.”
It was clearly Gu Annan who had changed his mind, but in front of everyone, it looked like she had overestimated herself, thinking she was his fiancée, only to be publicly told she wasn’t qualified.
She wanted to tear Wanwan’s face to pieces, yet she still had to put on a forced a smile to face those mocking glances.
“Jingtian, are we really going to let it go ?” Seeing that he was inclined to calm things down, Lin Yu couldn’t accept it, “We’ve been so humiliated. Besides, what’s this about marrying Ye Jing’s daughter? The person has been dead for years, why even bring her up? That probably wasn’t what Mr. Gu intended to say.”
“Are you implying it was all Wanwan’s doing?”
Lin Yu huffed, “Who else could it be? These days, besides her, who else remembers Ye Jing? I’ve already been so kind to her, and I can’t believe she’s treated us mother and daughter this way. It was bad enough that she stole my daughter’s fiancé, but to use this occasion to defend her mother and let Kexin and me be scorned by others…”
Lu Kexin joined in, “Yes, Dad, how could my sister do this? I never expected her to start scheming a month in advance, no wonder she didn’t tell us her whereabouts lately. Dad, you saw it yourself, my suspicions were not wrong, but how could I have guessed she’d seduce my fiancé?”
“It does seem like a possibility.”
Through gritted teeth, Lin Yu said, “Jingtian, we must not allow her to marry Gu Annan. It’s not just that I can’t accept it for Kexin’s sake, don’t forget what has happened in the past. Be careful, if she finds out and turns to Gu Annan for support…”
Lu Jingtian’s expression immediately turned grim, he said through clenched teeth, “She couldn’t possibly know!”
The black Bentley moved unhurriedly along the avenues of Manchester.
Inside the car, Lu Wan watched as Gu Annan finished a phone call and gave some work instructions.
She was still looking at his handsome profile, “Why did you do what you did just now?”
Hearing her question, Gu Annan, still driving without looking sideways, said, “Didn’t you say you’re a more suitable choice than Lu Kexin?”
“But you didn’t agree, did you?”
“Have you changed your mind?”
What does this have to do with whether she’s changed her mind?
“If you haven’t changed your mind, quit the pointless talk.” He didn’t even look at her, and his tone was much colder than it had been at the engagement party, “Because I might change my mind at any moment.”
Lu Wan was still wearing his jacket, feeling its warmth.
Remembering what he had said earlier, “Did you really never personally declare an engagement with her?”
With a voice as steady as ever, Gu Annan said, “I advise you not to overthink it, the engagement with Ye Jing’s daughter was my parents’ wish.”
