Chapter 36  : Planning It Out, Don’t Disappoint Me

It was quiet in the room.

“Are you trying to back out of the deal now?” Lu Manman asked.

“I never go back on my word!” Lu Yuanxiu said with a serious look. He then continued, “Let’s look at your plans.”

“My grandfather will be celebrating his birthday in half a month. As it’s only his 75th birthday, there won’t be a big celebration, but the top four families and the Wen Family will be invited. On that day, I will ask Gu Xin to invite everyone to the bar after dinner. We will invite Jiang Yiyao and Wen Yun as well. I will need you to poison Wen Yun during that occasion.

“It should be a piece of cake for you to get poison in a place like that. Also, Wen Yun won’t suspect that I am the one behind it at all. Hence, we have a high likelihood of success. I will pretend that I’m drunk, and leave after you poison him so that I won’t be a suspect.”

Mo Yuanxiu looked up, and asked her, “So you want me to resort to such dirty tricks?”

“I don’t think you will reject my idea,” Lu Manman said confidently.

Mo Yuanxiu smiled, and responded, “Miss Lu, what kind of person do you think I am?”

“Not a nice guy.”

“I see that you have a good impression of me.”

“I don’t like to lie,” Lu Manman said.

Mo Yuanxiu scoffed. “Let’s hope that this won’t change.”

“Of course I won’t change.”

“I was referring to your impression of me.”

Lu Manman stared at Mo Yuanxiu.

Mo Yuanxiu stared back at her.

Even though they didn’t fully trust each other, they wouldn’t go back on the promises that they made to each other.

Hence, they had a complex relationship.

“It’s almost time for lunch, do you want to grab lunch together?” Mo Yuanxiu asked.

“It’s fine. I don’t think that we should meet so often. I’m worried that Wen Yun would notice something,” Lu Manman said.

“I wonder who’s the person that has been preventing me from flirting with my beauties?” Mo Yuanxiu said sarcastically with a smile on his face.

“Mo Yuanxiu.” Lu Manman was triggered and snapped. “Can’t you control yourself, aren’t you worried about contracting STDs?!”

Mo Yuanxiu fell silent.

“Hey,” Ye Heng suddenly interrupted. “I would like to clarify that the girls here are healthy, and don’t have any STDs. We provide regular check-ups for them.”

“How would you know?!” Lu Manman screamed at Ye Heng.

“Cos I’m responsible for this place! I have to take care of it?!” Ye Heng said. He jokingly continued, “If Miss Lu is still worried, should I test the lady that will be sleeping with Mo Yuanxiu and send her health report to you?”

“It doesn’t matter to me if he gets STDs or not. I’m just reminding him of the dangers. Since…” Lu Manman looked at Mo Yuanxiu and continued, “I don’t want him to die before our wedding.”

She was done with what she had to say.

She left immediately.

The two guys left in the room exchanged glances.

Ye Hen noticed the look at Mo Yuanxiu’s face, and teased, “Lu Manman is indeed beyond our imaginations. She’s really interesting, isn’t she!”

Mo Yuanxiu glared at him.

Ye Heng wiped the smile off his face and turned serious.

It was the first time someone spoke like this to Mo Yuanxiu.

But he couldn’t rebut what she said.

Hence, he was intrigued.

“Ye Heng,” Mo Yuanxiu said coldly. “Do you think we can trust Lu Manman?”

“So what if we can’t trust her?” Ye Hen asked.

Mo Yuanxiu smiled.

True.

So what if she couldn’t be trusted!

Lu Manman, don’t you dare disappoint me! ***

Lu Manman exited the bar.

It was time for lunch.

In her previous life, she would make time to have meals with Wen Yun, but she didn’t want to have anything to do with that guy.

She picked up her phone and made a call.

A few moments later, someone picked up; it felt like the person just woke up. “Hello, Manman.”

“You’re still sleeping?”

“I partied till three in the morning. What time is it anyway?”

“It’s 12.40 in the afternoon. Get up and let’s go for a meal.”

“Can I stay at my house? I’m too tired…” the person whined.

“Gu Xin, if you don’t want me to send your ugly photos to Di Yi, meet me at the restaurant in half an hour.”

“Are you kidding me?” Gu Xin screamed as she jumped out of bed.

“You can try me.”

“You’re horrible!” Gu Xin yelled as she hung up the phone.

Lu Manman smiled. She loved to watch Gu Xin rage. She got on a cab and headed to Jiang Pan Ren Jia restaurant. It was the most famous restaurant in Wen City.

She would often eat there with Wen Yun. He would even promise that he would hire the head chef there to cook for her after they got married. If not, he would work there and cook for her when he mastered their recipes.

She could remember all the good memories that they shared here. However, these memories were just disgusting to her now.

When she reached the booth in Jiang Pan Ren Jia restaurant, Gu Xin was already there. She sat opposite her, and asked, “Why can’t you find a guy for a meal?”

“I can’t,” Lu Manman answered her directly.

“What did Wen Yun do to make you have a change of heart?” Gu Xin asked. “I have never truly looked at Mo Yuanxiu before. He was really handsome for what he did during the charity dinner, but he is still a player that relies on his family. How could you compare him to a guy like Wen Yun. You are not counting your blessings!”

“You shouldn’t be concerned if Wen Yun is a nice guy or whether I am marrying him. I know what I’m doing. But I have something to tell you.”

“Speak your mind.” Gu Xin started to dig into the meal.

She didn’t mean her rant just now.
