Ring! Ring! Ring!
The ear-piercing alarm resounded throughout the space.
Lin Wanwanâs heart skipped a beat, and she wanted to run.
It was a pity it was too late.
Bodyguards with loaded guns rushed out from all sides, surrounding Lin Wanwan so closely that it was impossible for her to break out.
With numerous guns aimed at her, Lin Wanwanâs body stiffened. However, she revealed an innocent smile on her face.
âDo you need me to raise my hands up to say that Iâm willing to surrender?â
âEveryone, hold your guns.â
The butler walked over slowly with a smile on his face.
âMs. Lin, you have belittled the Lu family. This is the main residence. Whether itâs the defense measures or the armed forces, you could never have been able to imagine them. As early as that second you entered, our infrared scanner had already detected you.â
Lin Wanwan was annoyed but didnât show it on the surface.
âAll of you are overcautious. According to what Lu Zhanbei said, your old master wouldnât be able to live for long. Nobody should be so bored as to come and assassinate him.â
Upon hearing this, the butlerâs face sank. âWhat a sharp-tongued girl!â
âIâm flattered.â
The butler revealed murderous intent in his eyes at Lin Wanwanâs rogue gesture. In the end, he could only tolerate it and wave his hands.
âBring her to Old Master.â
âYes!â
Lin Wanwan flung away the two bodyguardsâ hands in disdain. âDonât touch me. I know how to walk on my own.â
She placed both hands behind her back and admired the surrounding scenery as if she were taking a stroll.
âHey, itâs so big here. It must be comparable to the presidential palace, eh?â
âWhat flowers are planted in that flower field? Theyâre so colorful and pretty.â
âEh? Why is there a newly cultivated vegetable field here? It doesnât fit in nicely with the rest of the scenery. It couldnât be that your old master is feeling so bored that he wanted to experience the feeling of being a farmer, right?â
On the way, Lin Wanwan was like a bumpkin whoâd just entered the city. She talked non-stop. The butler was in the mood to strangle her to death.
He was seriously doubting the young masterâs taste now. What exactly did he fancy about this ignorant bumpkin and bimbo?
After walking for over ten minutes, they finally reached the front of two carved iron gates.
The gate opened automatically. Lin Wanwan took the lead and walked in.
The living roomâs decorations were similar to Yun Mansionâs. It was simple yet luxurious. Expensive ornaments could be seen everywhere, displaying the Lu familyâs rich financial resources.
Lin Wanwan didnât notice these. Instead, her gaze first fell on a calligraphy painting hung on the wall.
The two words, âHeavenly Palace,â were written powerfully and majestically.
Lin Wanwan ignored Lu Zhengyu, who was sitting on the sofa, drinking tea. She stood under the calligraphy painting.
âThese words were written well.â She started the conversation with a compliment.
Lu Zhengyu drank a sip of tea. Him sitting there alone gave people the feeling that he had everything under control.
âLin Wanwan, I admire both your taste and your guts.â
This old man had improved the way he spoke. He had accepted praise and delved straight into the topic.
Lin Wanwan sat on the sofa and smiled extremely brightly. âIf Iâm not gusty enough, how am I qualified to be your daughter-in-law?â
Lu Zhengyu smiled slightly. Then, his eyes turned cold. âItâs a pity that regardless of how gutsy you are, I would never agree to you entering the Lu family.â
âOh, thatâs fine too. Itâs all the same if I enter the Fu family.â
Bang!
Lu Zhengyu placed the teacup hard on the table, letting out a loud bang. His cold gaze swept past Lin Wanwanâs casual look, and a strange anger surged up in his heart.
