Three years after our breakup, you came back to China, and I'm just giving up. Why are you cryi

Fang Ruoyun was actually a bridesmaid?

This was something Lu Hao never expected.

Involuntarily, he recalled Qin Shou's description of the bridesmaid.

She's wealthy, comes from a powerful family, and is definitely a pampered heiress.

At the time, he felt that there was something wrong with the fact that the other party was satisfied after seeing his photo.

He considered himself to be good-looking, barely able to compete with Brother Kun, but far from being good enough to make a rich heiress of that caliber fall in love at first sight.

Now, everything makes sense.

If Fang Ruoyun is the bridesmaid, then it's perfectly normal for her to be interested in him.

After all, the two had met twice at a bar and gotten along quite well.

Lu Hao still couldn't understand why Fang Ruoyun, with her status, would go to a place like that.

Someone like her, even if she were to go to a bar, should go to a high-end club with a high degree of privacy, not hang out in cheap bars.

Besides this, there was another mystery that puzzled him even more.

Why is Fang Ruoyun targeting Xiao Xiyue?

Judging from the conversation just now, she has a strong hostility towards Xiao Xiyue.

And she's going to put on a good show tomorrow, and she has to cooperate...

Could it be that Xiao Xiyue will also be attending Qin Shou's wedding tomorrow?

This is highly likely.

Qin Shou's wife, Jiang Yun, was a prominent figure in Yongcheng, so it was perfectly normal for Xiao Xiyue, given her status, to receive an invitation.

Lu Hao took a deep breath, and the cool night air filled his lungs, clearing his chaotic thoughts a little.

He had to find out Fang Ruoyun's background.

He turned to Qin Shou, who was already somewhat drunk, and asked, "What exactly does this Fang Ruoyun do? You said last time that her family is not simple, and that someone in her family is involved in politics."

Qin Shou let out a burp, touched his chin with his finger, and squinted as he recalled something for a long time.

"How would I know exactly what she does? I've only met her a few times. Yunyun told me about her family situation. Oh right, I remember now, Yunlan Clothing, it seems to be one of her businesses."

"What?" Lu Hao's voice suddenly rose, and he turned his head sharply, staring intently at Qin Shou.

All the fragmented clues in my mind were forcibly connected the moment the words "Yunlan Clothing" appeared!

"Why are you so surprised?" Qin Shou was startled by him, then chuckled, patted Lu Hao's shoulder, and said with a thick tongue, "It's nothing. Yunyun said that Yunlan Clothing was just something the young lady played around with. It's nothing."

Lu Hao couldn't hear a single word Qin Shou said after that.

He had already sorted out the thoughts in his mind.

Yunlan Clothing belongs to Fang Ruoyun, which means she and Xiao Xiyue's Yunyou Company are business rivals. This gives her the most direct reason to target Xiao Xiyue!

As for why I'm being dragged into this...

Lu Hao's thoughts flashed back to that day at the police station entrance.

He, Li Xu, and Wang Jile got into a fight with someone at the bar, and when they came out, Fang Ruoyun was waiting at the door.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Xiyue appeared and took her away.

He still remembers that Xiao Xiyue's face was frosty at the time, and he foolishly thought that it was because he broke his promise and went out to fool around again that he made her so angry.

Looking back now, it was probably because she saw herself standing with Fang Ruoyun!

Thinking of this, Lu Hao recalled how Xiao Xiyue had blocked and deleted him later.

It turned out to be the case.

It's likely that Xiao Xiyue reached some kind of agreement with Fang Ruoyun in order to resolve the troubles of Yunyou Company, and she herself was the one sacrificed.

But... Su Yu clearly said that she had already taken care of things.

Indeed, the crisis at Yunyou Company was resolved, and Fang Ruoyun did stop suppressing Xiao Xiyue.

A terrible thought popped into Lu Hao's mind.

Could it be that Fang Ruoyun is trying to have her cake and eat it too?

She first received benefits from Xiao Xiyue and agreed to her conditions. Then she received something from Su Yu and agreed to the same thing again.

Even... Lin Ran's recent indifference towards him might be related to this matter.

When all the clues were completely sorted out and pieced together into an ugly picture, Lu Hao's face was so dark it could drip water.

He felt like a clown.

Xiao Xiyue, Su Yu, and even Lin Ran were all tricked by this woman named Fang Ruoyun.

They may know they've been tricked, but they can only swallow their anger and resentment.

It's simply because they are all protecting themselves in their own ways.

Lu Hao suddenly laughed, his laughter tinged with weariness and self-deprecation.

"What are you laughing at? Are you crazy?" Qin Shou looked at him and sobered up a bit, his brows furrowing.

"It's nothing," Lu Hao waved his hand, stopping his laughter. He turned to Qin Shou and asked, "Is your relationship with this Fang Ruoyun really that good?"

"That's what she told me. If she weren't good, she wouldn't have been made a bridesmaid," Qin Shou said matter-of-factly.

"Well..." Lu Hao was about to speak, but then swallowed his words and shook his head. "It's nothing. I'll have a smoke."

"Here, have one with me." Qin Shou took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, pulled one out, and handed it to Lu Hao.

Lu Hao lit the cigarette and took a deep drag.

He leaned back in his chair, his gaze piercing through the swirling smoke as he looked at the bright moon in the sky, which seemed somewhat blurry.

Tomorrow, Fang Ruoyun will have a good show.

You also need to cooperate.

Since it's acting, I, as the actor, can't let myself down.

However, it's hard to say who will be the protagonist and who will be the clown.

A cigarette burned out in the night wind in an instant.

Lu Hao stubbed out his cigarette on the ground, looked up at the brightly lit villa in front of him, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

This involves not only the decadent lives of others, but also the bargaining chips for one's own future.

"Let's go," Lu Hao stood up, patted his pants, and said to Qin Shou, "Go inside and introduce me to your friends so they can get to know me properly."

"Hahaha...that's more like it!" Qin Shou laughed heartily, then generously put his arm around Lu Hao's shoulder. "Let's go!"

Pushing open the villa's door, Lu Hao also pushed open the door to a future called power.

He knew that Fang Ruoyun dared to do this because of the formidable power behind her.

Now, penniless and powerless, he is nothing more than a lamb to the slaughter in these people's eyes. He can't protect himself, and he can't even protect those he cares about.

The people inside this villa were the first stepping stone in his life.

It was also the starting point of his life journey, a journey that would no longer be ordinary.

Inside the room, deafening music drowned out all reason.

The sounds of men shouting, women coquettishly whining, and the crisp sound of dice hitting the table filled the air.

In that decadent and chaotic atmosphere, Lu Hao squinted as he saw Qin Shou walk into the mist.

This is the world he will face, and the battlefield he is about to conquer.
