Chapter 4: Chapter 4 Mr. Gu waited for half an hour
But compared to not having a job, going ho didn’t seem that important.
By the ti she returned to the Lu Mansion after working overti, it was already seven in the evening.
The villa was brightly lit.
As soon as Lu Wanwan entered, she heard Lu Jingtian’s voice, heavy with anger, “Wanwan, look at the ti, Mr. Gu has been waiting for half an hour!”
On the sofa, a fresh and slender figure was sitting leisurely in a way that was sohow familiar to her, though she couldn’t see his face, just a portion of his back obstructed by the sofa. This must be the Mr. Gu her father ntioned.
“It’s only seven o’clock,” Lu Wanwan replied indifferently, with a hint of hoarseness in her voice.
She had worked tirelessly all night and been squeezed by her job all day.
In order to leave work early and return ho, she hadn’t even had a mont to drink a sip of water.
“Sister, you’re back,” Lu Kexin said, getting up and walking over in her newly purchased Chanel suit. “Why didn’t you co back all of last night? Do you know how anxious Dad and Mom were?”
Stepmother Lin Yu was still sitting on the sofa with a slight smile, “Mr. Gu, I’m really sorry for the wait. Wanwan didn’t do it on purpose, she probably… just forgot.”
“Ah!!” exclaid Lu Kexin, pointing at her neck, “Sister, did you get hit?”
The marks left from the previous night had been pointed out to Lu Wanwan when she arrived at the newspaper office.
Later, she borrowed a coat to wear, but since the neck was the worst affected area, it couldn’t be hidden.
The man on the sofa turned his head slightly when he heard Lu Kexin’s words.
His gaze beca cold when it fell on the oversized n’s jacket she wore.
“It doesn’t seem like she was hit…” Lu Kexin’s tone was full of alarm and curiosity, “But sister, what are those red marks on your body?”
Lu Jingtian, who hurried over, recognized imdiately what kind of marks they were.
Anger was etched all over his face, and he was seething, biting his teeth.
Gu Annan had co to discuss the prearranged marriage between the Gu Family and the Lu Family. Although it hadn’t been decided who it would be with, for her to go fooling around at this ti was utterly disgraceful!
He had heard rumors before that the Gu Family was considering calling off the marriage, and Gu Annan might just be looking for an excuse to nullify the engagent!
“Don’t be angry, Dad. Maybe sister just has an allergy,” Lu Kexin feigned innocence as she comforted him.
Lu Wanwan knew that there was no point in saying anything now, the dicine that had caused this was unmistakably given by Lu Kexin.
“Anyway, I’m back now. Say whatever you want to say.”
Seeing her indifferent attitude, Lu Jingtian, in a fit of irritation, raised his hand to slap her.
“Mr. Lu,” ca a voice, clear, cold, and embellished with an undeniable authority, “I do not have more ti to waste here.”
That voice made Lu Jingtian’s hand freeze in the air, and he imdiately answered with a smile, “You’re right, Mr. Gu, my apologies for the inconvenience of having you wait.”
Lu Wanwan stood stunned in her spot, unable to utter a word as she looked at that figure.
This Mr. Gu, before whom her usually arrogant father kowtowed, the chief heir to the Gu Consortium, was actually… Gu Annan.
“Aren’t you coming over?” Lu Jingtian shot her a severe glance, gesturing for her to co and sit down quickly.
Lu Wanwan stiffly walked over and sat down.
In the morning, he hadn’t told her that he was going to be the one coming to her house this evening!
The imposing man sat expressionless, not even sparing Lu Wanwan a glance—as if the person who returned after waiting for half an hour was nothing more than air to him.
“Now that everyone is here, let’s get straight to the point,” Gu Annan finally lifted his eyes, his gaze coldly sweeping past her and turning to Lu Jingtian, “Since the marriage between and the Lu Family was agreed upon, I do not intend to back out for the ti being. Let’s consider this matter settled for now.”
