Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth

Chapter 653: Punishment for Her

Lu Zhenning didn’t wait for Su Wanxin to reply, and asked again: "If you don’t like that brat from the Fu Family anymore, is it okay if Grandpa introduces another boyfriend to you? To tell you the truth, I don’t like him much either."

The moment he said this, it was clear he wasn’t there to speak on Fu Shihan’s behalf. The old man seemed to be trying to undermine the situation, which made Su Wanxin not know whether to laugh or cry.

"Grandpa, does Fu Shihan know you’re looking for me?"

"What, I can’t invite you out for a meal without that little bastard’s approval?"

"No, no, that’s not what I mean!" Su Wanxin hurriedly denied: "I’m just puzzled about why you suddenly thought to look for us."

"I was bored at home and wanted to meet my grandson’s girlfriend."

Su Yao, who had been trying hard to keep a low profile: Did I still not manage to escape this ordeal?

Su Wanxin chuckled and said: "So, are you satisfied with this girlfriend?"

"Satisfied! I like both of you girls!"

The old man was hearty in his manner and showed no intention of making things difficult for them, which allowed Su Wanxin and her friend to breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems he really was just bored at home and came out to find something to do.

The car drove towards the restaurant, a famously expensive one in the Imperial Capital. Just moments ago, Lu Ci had told Su Yao to pick something expensive, but it turned out there was no need for her to act, as his Grandpa opened the menu and took just a few seconds to place their order.

"This page and this page; I’ll have everything."

After Lu Zhenning ordered, he looked up at the two girls seated opposite him.

He knew Fu Yansheng didn’t like Su Wanxin very much, but he himself was quite fond of her, especially the cheeky little boy she had - he liked him to no end.

If only he had two grandsons, then it wouldn’t matter whether the Fu Family liked them or not.

Suddenly, the room fell quiet, and Su Wanxin and Su Yao felt a bit anxious. They began desperately typing on their phones under the table.

Su Wanxin: You and Lu Ci have reached the point of meeting the parents already? How come I didn’t know?

Su Yao: I’m wronged.

Su Wanxin: With how things are at this moment, do you think I can believe that?

Su Yao: I really am wronged.

Su Wanxin: Then what do we do later? Why do I feel like this old man will soon be asking when you plan to get married and have kids?

Su Yao: Then let’s just lay it all out... tell him that I’m just a fake girlfriend hired with his unlucky grandson’s money, deceiving his entire family’s feelings; let him beat Lu Ci to death.

As long as Lu Ci is gone, she would be free in the future.

It wasn’t even ten minutes after Su Yao had this break-it-all thought when the room door was knocked on.

She was originally considering how quick the restaurant’s service was when the door opened to reveal Lu Ci entering.

"Why are you here?" When Lu Zhenning saw him, he was quite unhappy. "Get lost!"

"Grandpa, you invite someone I know out for a meal, and you don’t even tell me; is that okay?"

Not only did Lu Ci not leave, but he also sauntered over to sit next to Su Yao, smiling as he watched and asked.

"If this scares her away, where am I supposed to find someone else?"

Lu Ci turned to glance at Su Yao, silently indicating that this had nothing to do with him. Su Yao couldn’t be bothered to look at him—she just kept silent.

She couldn’t figure it out; wasn’t it just a moment of folly to take Lu Ci’s money? Did that really warrant such punishment?

She hadn’t even been in love before, so how did it escalate to meeting the parents directly?

Could she just give the money back to Lu Ci now? Not only would she give a full refund, but she’d even add interest, not taking advantage of him at all!
