In fact, until this moment, Gu Huaimo didn't understand why he rashly decided to meet a low-ranking person as soon as he heard Lu Wanning's name.
At that time, he just thought in a flash of lightning in his mind that Lu Xuewei's parents were Lu Wanning's former adoptive parents.
He knew very little about Lu Wanning's past, but today he accidentally caught a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg from Lu Xuewei.
——They are terrible adoptive parents.
At this moment, her adoptive father was groveling in front of him: "I'll get out now, I'll get out now..."
Before leaving, he didn't forget to take a sneak look at Lu Xuewei.
There was a hint of eagerness in his eyes, and he obviously had not forgotten his original intention of asking for money.
Sure enough, not long after Zhuang Youwei disappeared from sight, Lu Xuewei received the news.
[Xuewei, when you get the money, remember to transfer it to dad. 】
Lu Xuewei felt that the breath in her body was suddenly suffocated, but after taking a deep breath, she instantly turned this emotion into her own weapon and looked at Gu Huaimo.
Lu Wanning clutched the phone tightly, her fingertips turning white and blue from the exertion.
Tears were about to fall in her eyes, and her voice sounded like she was holding back her tears: "Mr. Gu, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb your work..."
As she said this, she thought that Gu Huaimo was here for Lu Wanning, so she changed her tone and mentioned Lu Wanning again.
"Although I know you are here for my sister, I still want to thank you..."
"Also, what my dad said later should be true...my sister is now the daughter of the Lu family and the wife of Mr. Gu. They don't dare to provoke...otherwise, they won't find her. I, the adopted daughter of the Lu family, have long been hated by the Lu family..."
Lu Xuewei murmured, looking sad.
Anyone who sees it will sigh with emotion. The beauty is crying, which is really heart-warming.
However, she was facing Gu Huaimo.
Gu Huaimo just looked down at her expressionlessly: "You don't need to tell me, neither I nor anyone else can help you."
Lu Xuewei suddenly froze. She looked at Gu Huaimo with disbelief in her eyes: "Mr. Gu..."
How could he be so heartless?
Although there were rumors that Gu Huaimo was like this, Lu Xuewei never believed that there were really cold-hearted people in the world.
Until today, Gu Huaimo told her so straightforwardly. 'He doesn't care about her. '
However, Gu Huaimo had already looked away and did not intend to stay long.
But at this moment, he turned around and caught Lu Wanning's gaze.
"Mr. Gu, what a coincidence." Lu Wanning's voice was very soft and sounded unreal.
Her expression was calm, and there were other emotions hidden in her eyes, but she tried her best to hold them back.
Gu Huaimo opened his mouth, about to say something, but in the end he pursed his lips tightly, not knowing where to start.
After Lu Xuewei came back to her senses, she found Lu Wanning and thought again: "Sister, why are you here..."
"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Gu and I are actually working together..."
Lu Wanning didn't really listen to what Lu Xuewei said at the moment.
All the sounds entered her ears, but they seemed to be extremely far away from her, just lingering outside her mind.
Lu Xuewei was acting on her own.
In the end, it was Luo Chengfeng who sneered on her behalf: "This is my first time meeting you. We were discussing work at a restaurant in the suburbs."
"I just don't know. Miss, which company do you represent to discuss cooperation with Mr. Gu?"
Lu Xuewei's expression froze: "I am Mr. Gu's assistant..."
However, saying this seems to be more ambiguous.
After all, assistant and secretary are just the same thing.
Lu Xuewei obviously realized that there were many loopholes in her words.
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and finally sobbed as if she was overwhelmed: "I'm sorry, sister... Actually, I asked Mr. Gu for help only when I was desperate."
"You have lived with that man for more than ten years, and you must know that he only thinks about money...but now I don't have any at all..."
Lu Xuewei knew that Lu Wanning would not sympathize with her, but what she wanted was for Lu Wanning to be indifferent to her.
That's what makes people sympathize, isn't it?
Lu Xuewei never believed in evil. She felt that Gu Huaimo would always be soft-hearted towards her for a moment.
Don’t men all like women who are weak and pitiful and can inspire a desire for protection?
Lu Xuewei was full of calculations, but her face was pitiful: "Sister... please don't be angry because of me and Mr. Gu, okay?"
Gu Huaimo originally wanted to say something, but after hearing Lu Xuewei speak, he fell silent again.
Lu Wanning ignored them completely. After saying hello, she slowly turned to look at Luo Chengfeng and said, "Chengfeng, let's go."
"Ah...Okay, Sister Ning, let's eat at another restaurant." Luo Chengfeng's heart tightened inexplicably, and he felt that something was wrong with Lu Wanning's mood at this time.
But the moment Lu Wanning raised her feet to step out of the restaurant, Gu Huaimo stopped her: "Lu Wanning."
Lu Wanning ignored it and didn't even look back.
The next moment, Gu Huaimo took two steps forward and took her arm: "Did you misunderstand something?"
Lu Wanning wanted to say that she didn't misunderstand, because she didn't care at all, and at most it was a moment of sadness.
But as soon as she came to this restaurant, a strange emotion enveloped her.
It was not a reappearance of the scene, it was just a momentary thing when I remembered those things.
But the previous emotions seemed to be rooted in her body. Whenever some special moments or scenes resonated with them, those emotions would immediately occupy her brain.
Just at this moment, her whole body felt stiff and her mind went blank. It was not clear whether it was fear or shock that came to her mind, but it made her subconsciously hold her breath.
'You are no longer twelve years old. You don't need to hide. You can use words and actions to defend your wishes. '
Lu Wanning told herself this, then turned to look at Gu Huaimo, and uttered two words very coldly: "Let go."
Gu Huaimo frowned deeper and subconsciously loosened his grip, but then held it tighter: "I can explain."
But Lu Wanning didn't want to hear it. She struggled hard and finally got rid of half of the sleeves of her coat.
She simply took off her windbreaker and responded to him calmly:
"Explain what? Didn't Lu Xuewei already explain it? Or is there something wrong with what she said?"
She tried her best to imitate her normal tone, but her tone still gave her away.
Normally, she would have a sarcastic tone, a melodious tone, and a rising final note.
But at this moment, she just repeated this sentence very calmly.
Luo Chengfeng's gaze towards him gradually became more solemn and worried. He knew that it might be inappropriate for him to speak now, but he still blocked Lu Wanning's body, faced Gu Huaimo and said, "Mr. Gu, please let go."
At this moment, Gu Huaimo took a rare look at Luo Chengfeng.
He sneered and narrowed his eyes: "What if I don't let go?"
Luo Chengfeng's eyes met with his, and they were competing.
But unlike Gu Huaimo who always had a heavy gaze, Luo Chengfeng was only slightly serious at first.
It is like a gust of wind, which suddenly blows by and makes you feel cold, but soon the next gust of wind brings spring warmth and flowers blooming.
"Mr. Gu, then I can only wrong myself." Luo Chengfeng smiled and pretended to take off his coat, "The temperature difference between day and night is huge now. It will get dark soon, and Sister Ning will be cold."
