Quick Transmigration: I Was Cannon Fodder But Became the White Moonlight

The car drove away from the Lu's Building and merged into the crowds and traffic.

Chen Su leaned back in the comfortable leather seat, watching the bustling street scene outside the window rush by, but she had no heart to appreciate it.

The original plot of tonight clearly came to mind.

In the original storyline, Chen Su also sent an invitation to Lu Yuze, but Lu Yuze declined with the excuse of "having something to do".

As a result, after Lu Yu returned to the Lu family, he happened to run into Lin Zhixia, who was tutoring Lu Yichuan until very late.

Perhaps out of basic courtesy to a working-study girl returning home alone late at night, or perhaps on a whim, he asked the driver to take her home.

Right there at the entrance of that dilapidated and cramped alley, he saw a different kind of life, completely different from the one he lived in.

Impoverished yet resilient, they possess an indomitable spirit.

That moment of inspiration was the beginning of all subsequent appreciation and goodwill.

and so.

We can't let this happen.

We can't let Lu Yuze go back to the Lu family tonight; we can't give him and Lin Zhixia a chance to be alone together.

The car drove into the villa area where the Chen family lived.

Each villa occupies a large area and offers excellent privacy.

The Chen family mansion is the largest of them, with a French architectural style, white exterior walls, blue roof, and front and back gardens totaling more than 2,000 square meters.

The car was parked next to the fountain.

Chen Su pushed open the car door and got out. Her high heels made a soft rustling sound as they stepped on the gravel path along the edge of the meticulously manicured lawn.

Butler Li was already waiting at the door: "Miss is back."

"Is Mom home?" Chen Su handed her handbag to the maid.

"The lady is in the living room."

Chen Su walked into the entryway and changed into soft indoor slippers. In the living room, Su Wan was sitting on the sofa flipping through a fashion magazine.

She looked to be in her early forties, very well-maintained, wearing a light green silk loungewear set, her long hair loosely tied up, exuding a gentle and elegant temperament.

Hearing footsteps, Su Wan looked up and saw Chen Su. A gentle smile appeared on her face: "Su Su is back? Where did you go? Why did you leave without even having breakfast?"

Chen Su walked to the sofa, sat down next to Su Wan, affectionately put her arm around her, and rested her face on her shoulder: "Mom, I'm going to find Brother Yuze. He promised to go to the charity gala with me tonight."

Su Wan smiled and tapped her nose, her eyes full of affection: "So you finally decided to take the initiative to go to Yu Ze? That's good, you two should cultivate your relationship more, after all, you're getting married."

There was a hint of worry in her voice.

The marriage between the Lu and Chen families was arranged long ago, but Lu Yu's attitude towards Chen Su was obvious to everyone.

They were overly polite, but lacked genuine intimacy.

Su Wan wasn't without worry, but since her daughter liked it, she could only do her best to bring them together.

The two chatted about everyday things for a while, and then Chen Su, like a cat, slowly slid down and lay down on Su Wan's lap.

Sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting warm dappled patterns on the mother and daughter.

"Mother."

Chen Su tilted her head back, her long eyelashes fluttering, and suddenly asked, "Can I stay by your side forever?"

Her voice was very soft, carrying a hint of dependence and uncertainty.

Su Wan paused for a moment, then chuckled, gently stroking her daughter's soft, long hair with her fingers: "Silly Su Su, you still have to get married and have your own family. Mom can't always be with you."

She paused, her tone softening further, "However, this will always be your home. If in the future... Su Su suffers any injustice anywhere, she can always come back."

"Um."

Chen Su nodded vigorously, burying her face in her mother's warm palms, absorbing this unreserved love.

This is her strongest fortress at the moment.

Chen Su stayed home peacefully all afternoon.

At 3 o'clock sharp, the top styling team she had booked arrived at her door on time.

In front of the huge dressing mirror, she finally chose a champagne pink strapless fishtail gown.

The silk fabric shimmered with a pearly luster, making her already fair skin appear as fine as mutton fat jade.

The skirt is cut to fit perfectly, outlining a slender waist and undulating curves, with a fishtail hem that trails to the ground, shimmering with light as the wearer moves.

The stylist loosely tied up her long hair, revealing her beautiful and delicate shoulder and neck lines.

Paired with a rose gold necklace and earrings inlaid with small diamonds, she looked like a polished and dazzling pink gemstone, radiant and captivating.

_

At exactly six o'clock, Lu Yuze's car stopped in front of the Chen family's house.

He got out of the car, wearing a well-tailored smoky gray suit that accentuated his broad shoulders and long legs. His demeanor was composed yet still carried a touch of nonchalant roguishness.

He entered the living room and politely greeted Su Wan.

Almost simultaneously, light footsteps came from upstairs.

"Brother Yuze!"

Chen Su lifted her skirt and, like a fluttering butterfly, jogged down the spiral staircase.

Lu Yu looked up upon hearing the sound.

In that instant, Chen Su clearly saw a flash of amazement in his eyes, though it was quickly covered by his usual playful expression.

But she caught it.

Chen Su's face lit up with an undisguised smile. She rushed over and naturally took his arm, her voice sweet enough to melt honey: "Brother Yuze! Why did you take so long? I've been waiting for you for ages!"

Lu Yu looked down at her, letting her take his arm, and raised an eyebrow: "Is it my fault... for being too punctual?"

Chen Su gave a coquettish humph, hugged his arm even tighter, and tilted her head up: "It's because the thought of seeing you makes time seem to pass especially slowly."

Lu Yu chuckled softly but didn't reply.

Su Wan watched from the side, her eyes full of smiles, and gave a few words of advice to be careful.

The two walked out of the villa.

Lu Yu then gentlemanly opened the door of the black Maybach for Chen Su, placing his hand protectively on the roof.

As I sat inside the car, the enclosed space was immediately filled with her sweet fragrance, mixed with a faint scent of cedar.

On the way to the banquet, Chen Su's mouth hardly stopped.

"Brother Yuze, I'm so hungry! I didn't eat much for lunch..."

"Brother Yuze, when we get there, you must stay close to me and not leave me alone!"

"Brother Yuze, do you think my dress looks good today? Doesn't it go perfectly with your suit?"

She chattered away like a lark released from its cage, trying to fill every inch of the quiet space with her voice.

From how difficult it is to wear the dress I wore today, to how hard it is to match the bag I bought a few days ago with my clothes, to how beautiful the new lipstick color from a certain brand is.

Lu Yu mostly listened casually, occasionally letting out a soft "hmm" in response, his gaze fixed on the passing night view outside the window, his profile appearing somewhat hard in the flickering light and shadow.

He only turned his head when she grumbled about being hungry again, his gaze sweeping over her exquisitely made-up, radiant face, and slowly began to speak:

"Chen Su, you look so energetic, you don't seem like you're hungry."

Chen Su choked, puffed out her cheeks, and angrily turned her head to look out the window, leaving Lu Yu with only the back of her head. Her slender white neck was faintly visible under her tied-up long hair.

The carriage finally gained a moment of peace, and Lu Yu's lips curved into a barely perceptible smile.
