“The news is indeed well-informed.”

Actually, with Lu Yunxiao’s status in Ocean City, it was not strange for him to know everything. She was not narcissistic enough to think that he paid special attention to her.

“Is the old pasture fragrant?” Why did she feel that there was something wrong with this person’s tone?

“I don’t know if the old pasture smells good or not, but someone’s strange appearance is quite interesting.”

“Heh…” He was amused by Jiang Youyi.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first. I’m busy.” Before the other party could respond, Jiang Youyi hung up decisively. The moment the call ended, she suddenly remembered a ‘dream’ that she had never mentioned to anyone.

Before she was reborn, she could not tell if it was a dream or if it was real. She still remembered that when she found out that Xu Yuning had gotten another woman pregnant, her mood was indeed terrible. It was not that she had deep feelings for Xu Yuning, but she was disgusted by his actions.

The thought of him sweet-talking her and having a child with Zhang Meng made her feel dirty. She remembered that one night, it was raining and she ran out on her own. Coincidentally, she bumped into Lu Yunxiao’s car.

The car had clearly driven for a distance, but the person in the car still asked the driver to turn around and give her an umbrella. At that time, it was raining heavily and it was late at night. Someone suddenly descended from the sky and gave Jiang Youyi an umbrella. This was almost her life-saving straw.

However, she didn’t see Lu Yunxiao in person at that time. She only saw the Maybach’s special license plate number.

After that, her father was so angry that he was hospitalized. She hurriedly drove to the hospital. In her panic, she bumped into someone on the expressway. Coincidentally, it was still Lu Yunxiao’s car.

This time, she met the legendary unsmiling CEO Lu. Surprisingly, the person’s tone was calm. “If you have something urgent, leave first. We’ll deal with these matters later.”

After that, before she could deal with it, she was reborn. The matter of the accident could only be left unsettled. However, these two incidents coincidentally caused her to interact with that person.

Hence, when she broke off the engagement at the wedding venue, she instinctively said Lu Yunxiao’s name.

Other than the fact that Lu Yunxiao’s name was enough to crush the Xu family in Ocean City, perhaps it was also because this person had helped her during her two most embarrassing times.

Only Jiang Youyi knew about this. She had never told anyone.

It was late at night, at the Lu Family Head’s residence.

Lu Yunxiao parked the car in the courtyard. Du Meihong was already waiting eagerly at the door. She even brought him a bowl of fresh shrimp porridge that the helper had just made.

“Your father has a drinking party tonight. His stomach feels uncomfortable after drinking, so 1 asked the kitchen to make seafood porridge. When 1 heard that you were back, 1 specially made an extra serving. Try it. Yunxiao.”

Lu Yunxiao nodded slightly in response. He had always been indifferent to Du Meihong. No matter how good a woman tried to be to him, he rarely responded. In the past, his father had scolded him a few times because of his cold attitude towards Du Meihong. However, he could not dissuade him in the end and could only give up.

Lu Guo’an was wearing black silk pajamas and sitting in the living room, watching the evening news.

“Dad.”

“Sit down first.” Lu Yunxiao took off his coat and sat on the sofa beside him. “1 had dinner with your Uncle Kang today. At the dining table, he showed off his eldest granddaughter recently.”

Lu Yunxiao lowered his eyes and remained silent.

“Your marriage with Bai Bing can’t be delayed any longer.”

Lu Guo’an was a man of his word. He did not even ask for his son’s opinion before directly arranging the marriage. Du Meihong listened attentively at the side, afraid that she would miss some important news.

“I never said that I wanted to marry Bai Bing.”

“Didn’t you guys have a good chat when that child and her parents came to our house for dinner last time? Could it be that 1 misunderstood?”

“Not bad. But 1 never said I wanted to marry her.” Lu Yunxiao’s expression was calm.

“Alright, since you’re not satisfied with the marriage partner I chose for you, do you have a suitable candidate yourself?” Lu Guo’an had already started arranging for his son to get married three years ago.

In the past three years, he had been screening and observing the top families in Ocean City, but none of them were too suitable.

He had even considered the neighboring city, but in the end, he was not too satisfied. Lu Yunxiao was his only child. He had to be extremely careful about getting married. If he did not choose a daughter-in-law with a suitable family background, it would mean that the business empire that Lu Guo’an had worked hard to create over the years would be diluted and divided by others.

Although Bai Bing’s family background was average, fortunately, she was magnanimous and capable..
