Chapter 499 - 490
Outside the door, Yu Sangwan’s face turned pale. She bit her lower lip, standing there, caught in a dilemma.
Tang Yueze hadn’t expected such a scene in the villa, "Young Master, Miss Yu is here to see you..."
Lu Jinxuan didn’t even lift his eyes, yet he could feel the gazes of Gong Xueyan and Mu Qinglan fall on Yu Sangwan... These two women, united in their confrontation against him, yet they didn’t consider if they were even qualified!
Mu Qinglan was unwilling, but due to her status, she dared not say anything.
But Gong Xueyan was different, she was arrogant and domineering, relying on her status as ’fiancée.’ She walked up to Yu Sangwan, her look and tone as coldly disdainful as always, "Miss Yu, we meet again? We seem to have quite the fate, I’ve heard... you’ve been dumped?"
She maintained her grace, but every word was dripping with sarcasm! Yu Sangwan held back her anger, glaring at her through gritted teeth.
Gong Xueyan leaned closer, whispering, "I told you, you wouldn’t last long by his side, see... it came true so quickly."
"Gong Xueyan!" Lu Jinxuan frowned, staring at the back of Gong Xueyan’s head, "Move aside!"
"What?" Gong Xueyan was stunned, turning to look at Lu Jinxuan. Was he talking to her? In front of so many people... not considering her face at all. Her temper flared, and she retorted immediately, "Lu Jinxuan, she’s just a woman from the past, what does she count as?"
"Tch." Lu Jinxuan sneered, his downcast eyes exuding an indescribable charm, "Yeah, she was once my woman. Something that belonged to me at least, as for you? In my eyes, you’re nothing!"
"..." Gong Xueyan’s face turned white, left speechless from being rebuked.
The Lu Jinxuan in front of her, how could he be so sharp and vicious? Could it be she didn’t really understand him? It seemed... somewhat strange?
Not bothering to pay her more attention, Lu Jinxuan slightly lifted his chin, pointing at Yu Sangwan.
"What are you here for?"
His tone was so dismissive, as if he found her presence bothersome.
Yu Sangwan felt awkward, she didn’t want to stay here another moment, but... she wasn’t here out of jealousy, she no longer had that right, she was here for her father.
Her lips moved, she spoke up, clinging to her dignity, "I, I have something... I want to ask you for a favor."
"?" Tang Yueze looked down at her in confusion. Miss Yu had a request for the Young Master? This was indeed his oversight, he had been solely focused on Lu Jinxuan, thinking Yu Sangwan appeared at Donghua and called him because she was still hung up on the Young Master.
"Ha!" Lu Jinxuan inserted one hand into the pocket of his pants, looking at her with disdain, "You have a favor to ask of me?"
His other hand fiddled with an antique lighter, opening and closing it, occasionally making a ’click’ sound.
"Indeed, if not for a request, why else would you be here? Surely not out of concern for me!"
His words landed with a thud, clearly accusing her!
The living room fell silent, Lu Jinxuan stepped toward Yu Sangwan. It seemed like only the two of them remained in this space, the others couldn’t intrude into their world.
Yu Sangwan kept her head down, her gaze catching his approaching shoes, the scent of him becoming more evident. Thinking of her backtracking, Yu Sangwan clenched her fists tightly.
Lu Jinxuan stood before her, his breath surging over her head, seemingly laughing as he spoke, "But what can I do? I don’t want to know why you’re here... because, no matter the reason, I don’t want to deal with you! I don’t want you anymore, don’t you know?"
"..." Yu Sangwan suddenly looked up, her eyes wide with disbelief.
"Hmph." Lu Jinxuan sneered, "Why are you looking at me like that? Surprised?"
Yu Sangwan’s face turned livid, her lips moved. What was there to be surprised about? They had already broken up, indeed... to him, she was nothing but a ’sleeping pill.’
Suddenly, Lu Jinxuan raised his hand and pinched her chin, Yu Sangwan frowned and let out a muffled sound, "Ugh..."
Lu Jinxuan’s thin lips were tight, his long narrow eyes filled with hatred, "Do you know? I hate this about you the most! Clearly the most vicious person in the world! Yet cloaked in the most innocent guise... The pain you’ve caused me, how will you repay it?"
Yu Sangwan couldn’t understand, from start to finish it was him hurting her! Now, was she being wrongly accused?
Her jaw hurt too much from his grip, Yu Sangwan couldn’t bear it, raised a hand wanting to brush it off.
But before she could, Lu Jinxuan had already let go. Yu Sangwan’s fair and delicate skin was already bruised. Lu Jinxuan frowned, did he use so much force? Was this girl made of tofu?
Clearly wanting to humiliate her, yet why feel distressed? Lu Jinxuan was increasingly agitated, turning away in anger, "Get out!"
"..." Yu Sangwan held her chin, her dignity cruelly trampled, realizing he definitely wouldn’t help her, she silently turned around.
Tang Yueze was anxious, taking two steps forward, "Miss Yu!"
"Tang Yueze!" Lu Jinxuan called him.
Tang Yueze frowned tightly, somewhat helpless, "Young Master... what are you going to do? Think it through before acting!"
Lu Jinxuan smirked arrogantly, "Are you lecturing me?"
"..." Tang Yueze lowered his head in frustration, "I wouldn’t dare."
Yu Sangwan’s steps faltered, this time she didn’t stop...
In the hall, Mu Qinglan and Gong Xueyan’s expressions suddenly relaxed.
Lu Jinxuan saw through their little schemes, brushing them off with disdain, "Tang Yueze, take Qinglan back to the Original House... prepare a room for her to settle in."
"..." Tang Yueze thought he had misheard, staring wide-eyed in astonishment, "Young Master, what did you say?"
Lu Jinxuan frowned and shouted in a low voice, "Tang Yueze, you’re questioning me!"
Tang Yueze was very troubled, leaned closer to him, "Young Master, please don’t do this! You’ll end up harming big..."
"Shut up!" Lu Jinxuan interrupted in a low voice, "What do you know? Just do as I say."
"..." Tang Yueze furrowed his brow deeply, but there was nothing he could do, "Yes."
On the side, Mu Qinglan was overjoyed to hear such words, "Jinxuan, I... thank you."
Lu Jinxuan didn’t even lift an eyelid, completely indifferent.
Gong Xueyan couldn’t hold back any longer, her face flushed with alternating colors of green and white, pointing at Lu Jinxuan, "Gone’s Yu Sangwan, here comes Mu Qinglan... Lu Jinxuan, what do you take me for? I’m the one you’re supposed to be engaged to! I’ve just arrived at Donghua, and instead of arranging things for me, you..."
"Do you need arrangements?" Lu Jinxuan sneered, "Aren’t you always the one throwing yourself at me?"
After saying that, he strode out.
"Lu Jinxuan, you leave me here, where are you going?" Gong Xueyan demanded loudly, her voice trembling slightly. After all, as the Gong family’s daughter, had she ever experienced such cold treatment? In front of Lu Jinxuan, she had already lowered her posture.
Lu Jinxuan didn’t bother to respond to her, beckoning Tang Yueze with a gesture.
"Young Master." Tang Yueze frowned slightly but walked up, "Do you have any orders?"
Lu Jinxuan looked at his conflicted face and couldn’t help but laugh, "Look at you, with that constipated look! I’m going to Yu Sangwan now..."
"..." Tang Yueze was shocked, looking at him in disbelief; hadn’t he just driven Yu Sangwan away?
"Tch." Lu Jinxuan sneered, "He’s not back, but I am... He’s too upset, I’m going to help him verify something. As for you, take good care of Mu Qinglan, let her be more pleased with herself, don’t let Mrs. Lu and Gong Xueyan have the chance to come and nag, understand?"
Tang Yueze, being clever, a glint of joy appeared in his eyes, "Young Master!"
"Ugh!" Lu Jinxuan frowned and smacked his lips, "Did you understand or not?"
"Yes... Young Master, I understand."
"Mm." Lu Jinxuan took a couple of steps forward, waved his hand behind him, "I’m leaving!"
...
The villa was halfway up the mountain, where cars couldn’t reach.
Yu Sangwan had arrived in Tang Yueze’s car, now she could only walk down.
A car horn sounded behind her, Yu Sangwan didn’t look back, moving slightly to the side of the road.
Unexpectedly, the car accelerated behind her, swerving and skidding to a halt directly in front of her, blocking her path.
"..." Yu Sangwan was shocked, glaring angrily. She had nearly been hit!
The car door opened, Lu Jinxuan got out, hands in the pockets of his suit pants, expression indifferent, with a playful demeanor. He said only two words, "Get in!"
"Huh?" Yu Sangwan found it bewildering; why should she get in his car?
Feeling there was nothing worth discussing with him, Yu Sangwan gritted her teeth and walked past him, heading forward. Her wrist, however, was grabbed by him; Yu Sangwan turned back to glare at him, "Let go!"
Lu Jinxuan ignored her, "Get in the car, I’ll listen to... what you need to ask me."
"Not needed anymore!" Yu Sangwan’s eyelashes trembled, worried about her father, but at this moment, her pride surged to the extreme, taking control.
Lu Jinxuan wasn’t interested in arguing further, dragging her directly to the passenger side, opening the door and pulling her in, fastening the seatbelt... it was practically tying her down!
"Lu Jinxuan! Let me out of the car!" Yu Sangwan tried to escape, but Lu Jinxuan moved faster, already inside, locking the car door.
"Sit tight!" Lu Jinxuan shouted at her, "Don’t think I care about you! I’m merely..."
Merely what? He couldn’t continue, this reason... he couldn’t tell.
The car sped off, Lu Jinxuan glanced at her determined profile from the rearview mirror, attempting to soften his tone, "Why did you come to me?"
He actually came to show concern for her? Didn’t he already have Mu Qinglan and Gong Xueyan? Whatever he said about only liking her, just for her, it was all fake!
Yu Sangwan felt bitter beyond measure, forcing herself to bear it, "I... my father had an accident."
Her father? That Yu Zhiyuan?
Lu Jinxuan curved his lips into a smile, "Serves him right! When’s he going to die? Or is he already dead? Did you come to tell me so I can send him a wreath?"
"You..." Yu Sangwan was so angered her chest hurt, just as she settled down, she started struggling again, "Let me out, now!"
"Behave!" Lu Jinxuan roared, "A woman who dumped me is still so defiant! Only you can pull this off in the whole world!"
Indeed, for Lu Jinxuan... Yu Sangwan was one of a kind.
