Lu Shao is cunning; Miss Nan has fallen for his tricks again.

Chapter 130 Getting More and More Unruly
Nan Xu and Lu Zhiyan exchanged a smile.

"By the way, Zhiyan, have you told your uncle's family about such a big thing as your engagement?" Cenxi picked up her teacup, took a sip, and asked casually.

"Not yet, but he should have seen the information online. He's so busy, I don't know if he'll have time to come." Lu Zhiyan lowered his eyes, his emotions unreadable.

He had a good relationship with Lu Cheng, but he disliked Zheng Wen.

Zheng Wen was never one to be trifled with, and the Lu family elders didn't like her either. Even Lu Zhiyue didn't particularly like her mother, otherwise she wouldn't have stayed in the capital for so long.

She doesn't go home during school holidays.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Cenxi's phone rang. Seeing the contact name on the phone, a hint of joy flashed in Cenxi's eyes.

"Hey, you're back from school?"

Her phone call immediately drew the attention of everyone at the table.

Standing alone in the living room of the villa, Lu Zhiyue looked at the empty villa.

It's Friday today, and no one is home, so she had to call Cenxi.

Before Cenxi returned to China, she spoke with Cenxi on the phone and learned that she had returned from the Maldives.

I was originally looking forward to having a long talk with my aunt all night, but there was no one in the villa.

"Yeah, why aren't you all home? Even Grandpa and Grandma aren't here." Lu Zhiyue pouted unhappily.

Hearing Lu Zhiyue's muffled voice, Cen Xi couldn't help but chuckle, "We're out for dinner, a good opportunity to meet your future sister-in-law."

"Sister-in-law?" Lu Zhiyue was completely confused.

When did she get a sister-in-law?
Cen Xi was also taken aback. How could Lu Zhiyue, a 5G surfing addict, not know about Lu Zhiyan's marriage proposal?
"Didn't you read the news online?"

News? Lu Zhiyue opened Weibo with suspicion. A trending topic about Lu Zhiyan proposing to Nan Xu was still ranked seventh on the trending list.

Her eyes were filled with shock as she clicked on the trending topics, where photos and videos of the proposal came into view.

However, the new sister-in-law is still very beautiful.

So what if she's pretty? She's Lu Zhiyan's cousin! And she didn't even know Lu Zhiyan had a girlfriend! How did she find out about his proposal online?

Does Lu Zhiyan even respect his younger sister?
Does having a girlfriend mean you can forget about your sister?

She's going to make a scene!

"Auntie, are you still with my brother and the others?" Lu Zhiyue asked, taking a deep breath.

"You're together, what's wrong?" Cen Xi asked, glancing at Lu Zhiyan.

"You ask him properly, why didn't he tell me? Am I still his sister?" Lu Zhiyue roared angrily.

"Are you going to cause trouble again?" Cen Xi shook her head with a smile. "Alright, I'll give him the phone, you can talk to him." She then handed the phone to Lu Zhiyan.

Lu Zhiyan took the phone and glanced at it.

The note had barely reached his ear when he asked, "What's up?"

"Why didn't you tell me about your marriage proposal?" Lu Zhiyue asked loudly.

Perhaps it was because Lu Zhiyan usually spoiled her too much, and the difference was too great for her to accept.

"Why should I tell you? You're neither the male lead nor the female lead; you're just a passerby."

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over your head and toes.

Lu Zhiyue seemed to be provoked by these words and hung up the phone immediately. She took a few steps to the sofa and angrily huddled down inside.

Seeing the phone call end, Lu Zhiyan twitched the corner of his mouth.

They're getting more and more unruly.

He then handed the phone to Cen Xi.

Nan Xu looked at Lu Zhiyan with a puzzled expression. "Who is it?" "My cousin, Lu Zhiyue." Lu Zhiyan held Nan Xu's fingers and played with them.

"Leave the arrangements to your grandmother and me. You two focus on preparing the engagement banquet; do it according to your own preferences, however you like," said Old Master Lu, looking at Lu Zhiyan and Nan Xu.

Looking at the office building plunged into darkness, only the rightmost office on the third floor was still brightly lit.

Ye Lan glanced at the office building with the lights on, threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground, and rubbed it hard with his black leather shoes.

Since returning from Sweden, Song Jingtang has been like a lost soul, spending his days going back and forth between the office building and the Song residence.

There were no other forms of entertainment, and even the Huo family rarely visited anymore. Mrs. Huo and Huo Xingchuan were also rarely seen.

It was as if the world had no meaning for her anymore.

Ye Lan took a deep look and went up the stairs to the third floor.

He knocked on the door, and Song Jingtang's cold voice came from inside: "Come in."

There was not a trace of emotion in Ye Lan's dark eyes. "Miss."

Upon hearing Ye Lan's voice, Song Jingtang merely glanced at him quickly before continuing to flip through the documents in his hand.

"Is there something you need at this hour?"

"Mrs. Huo has arranged to meet you tomorrow at noon."

"I won't see you." Song Jingtang's tone was devoid of any emotion.

“But this is the third time she’s asked you out. If you turn her down…” Ye Lan said, observing Song Jingtang’s expression. She stopped when she saw that Song Jingtang was getting impatient.

"You'll do whatever I say. Who's the master here, you or me?" Song Jingtang stared intently at Ye Lan, his eyes icy cold.

Ye Lan slowly raised her eyes and met Song Jingtang's gaze.

He really couldn't understand Song Jingtang anymore.

He was focused on forcing Cui Tinglan away, but now that Cui Tinglan is gone, he's treating Huo Xingchuan and Madam Huo with indifference.

He really didn't understand what Song Jingtang wanted.

"I don't understand. If you give up, then all your efforts over the past few months will have been in vain!" Ye Lan finally voiced her doubts.

Upon hearing this, Song Jingtang leaned back lazily in his chair, tapping the table absently with his fingers. "Ye Lan, I thought you were smart, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid." He then gave Ye Lan a look as if he were looking at an idiot.

Speechless in the dead of night.

"All I've ever wanted is Cui Tinglan. As for Huo Xingchuan, I wouldn't even want him as a dog." She said this with a look of disgust.

It was as if Huo Xingchuan was some kind of filthy thing.

Ye Lan was even more confused. If he wanted Cui Tinglan, why didn't he pursue her properly instead of choosing such an extreme way to get her?

"I know what you're wondering, but I am an extreme, perverted person, don't you know that?" As he spoke, Song Jingtang's lips curled into a bloodthirsty and perverted smile.

"It's getting late, let me take you home."

"No need, I'll go back by myself. From now on, decline any invitations from anyone. Don't make a special trip for such a small matter; it's not worth it."

After a moment of silence, Ye Lan replied faintly, "I understand."

Watching Ye Lan's departing figure, Song Jingtang's forehead was covered in sweat. She slumped weakly into her chair and took out a medicine bottle from the drawer.

She unscrewed the medicine bottle, poured two white pills into her hand, and quickly put them into her mouth. There was no water nearby, and she didn't have the strength to pour any, so she just chewed the two pills dry.

I'm so tired.

After calming down, Song Jingtang left the office and went home.
