Reborn Aristocrat: Oppressing

Chapter 68: Never Compromise With Anyone Again

“Di An is over there.”

Gu Xin hurriedly turned around.

Di An was seated a distance away from them, having a steak. Sitting opposite him was a woman with a nice figure. The light wasn’t too bright, so it wasn’t too clear who she was, but she shouldn’t be too ugly.

Lu Manman placed the fried rice aside. At this point, the waiters were serving their dinner.

“Who’s that woman?” Gu Xin asked Lu Manman as she turned around.

“How would I know?” Lu Manman shrugged.

“Is she Di An’s girlfriend?”

“Just ask.”

“I’m not asking. It’s none of my business anyway.” Gu Xin picked up her fork and knife to start eating her steak. “I haven’t contacted Di An since he left for overseas. My relationship with him is slipping away.”

Lu Manman pursed her lips and smiled but sighed in the end.

It would be nice if Gu Xin wasn’t so heartless!

The two of them gossiped as they finished dinner.

After dinner, the two of them paid the bill and left.

When she reached the door, she met Di An and the woman beside him.

At such a close distance, the woman was very beautiful. She had a mix of Chinese and Western features, and she gave off charisma. Her figure was really good. Di An was 1.83-meter tall, and the woman, wearing stilettos that were not too high, was at an identical height.

“What a coincidence.” Di An greeted her.

“Mm-hm. Did you take your girlfriend out for a meal?” Gu Xin asked directly.

Di An was used to Gu Xin’s bluntness, so he smiled. “She’s not my girlfriend. She’s my model for the cover of this issue, Amy.”

“So you’re a model. No wonder you’re so tall.” Gu Xin smiled.

Amy smiled and said in Mandarin, “Just because I’m not your girlfriend now doesn’t mean that I won’t be in the future. I’m chasing after Leo. Wish me luck.”

Perhaps it was because she was a foreign woman that she was so open-minded.

Gu Xin looked at the woman and then at Di An’s nonchalant smile…

She couldn’t put a finger on what she was feeling. It was definitely not some melodramatic love affair. She just couldn’t stand seeing this woman strut around beside Di An.

She had always been beside him in the past!

“It’s getting late. I have work to film tonight, so I’ll get going.” Di An gave a distant smile but turned to say intimately to the woman, “Amy, let’s go.”

The two of them left in front of them.

Lu Manman looked at their backs and then turned to Gu Xin, who looked very unhappy. “Are you jealous?”

“No way!” Gu Xin was fuming. “I don’t have any feelings for Di An. I just feel unhappy that my position was taken by another woman. This is just a woman’s instinct.”

Lu Manman gave her a look as if saying, “You’re just jealous.”

“I’m telling the truth! Compared to Di Yi, I really don’t like Di An,” Gu Xin said directly. “We can only be friends for the rest of our lives.”

Lu Manman pursed her lips and did not continue the topic.

Gu Xin wasn’t lying to her.

Gu Xin did love Di Yi deeply.

She loved him so much she was willing to kill herself!

With that thought in mind, her heart ached again. Lu Manman took the initiative to hold Gu Xin’s hand.

As expected, Lu Manman had been acting weird recently!

The two of them left.

When Lu Manman got home, Lu Zishan and He Xiuwen were waiting for her in the living room.

“Mom, Dad.” Lu Manman sat obediently beside them.

“Manman, you went back to your grandfather’s place today?” Lu Zishan asked with concern.

“Mm-hm.”

“You angered your grandfather again?”

“Dad, Grandpa is too much sometimes. I was just resisting a little. Don’t worry. I won’t really upset him physically.” Lu Manman did not want to continue the topic anymore and was getting impatient.

Lu Zishan knew that his daughter knew her limits. He thought for a while before getting to the point. “There have been advertisements and news about Mo Yuanxiu wooing you all over the place recently. What’s going on?”

Lu Manman looked at her parents. She hesitated for a second before saying seriously, “Dad, I will marry Mo Yuanxiu.”

“What?” Lu Zishan was shocked! His voice was shaking. “What did you say?!”

“Dad, calm down.”

“How could I not be agitated? Manman, what have you been doing recently?! Even if Wen Yun has done something wrong to you, you can’t just marry Mo Yuanxiu! Everyone in Wen City knows what kind of person he is! The one who would feel aggrieved if you were to marry him would be you!” Lu Zishan said very seriously.

Lu Manman held her father’s hand and smiled. “Dad, you wouldn’t believe me even if I told you many things. All I can tell you now is that marrying Mo Yuanxiu is my only option.”

“Your only option?!”

“Only by joining forces with him can we really go against the Wen family,” Lu Manman said very calmly. “I want to uproot the Wen family from Wen City!”

“What are you talking about? Even if Wen Yun has let you down, he shouldn’t have gone to this extent. Moreover, even though our family has a lot of assets, we don’t fight with officials. We are the ones who are at a disadvantage.”

“If we don’t fight him, he will fight us.” Lu Manman was increasingly sure that even though she had not seen it with her own eyes, Wen Yun’s objective had to be to take over the four families!

As the largest conglomerate, her Lu family was naturally the target they wanted to take over.

They would take over the Lu family first and then the other three families. Wen Yun had planned this out better than anyone else. It had to be said that he had made a good move on her!

“Manman…”

“Dad, you just have to trust me,” Lu Manman said angrily. “I will let our Lu family prosper for generations to come! My children, be they sons or daughters, must bear the Lu family’s surname and inherit the Lu family’s assets! From now on, no one in the Lu Firm can take it away from me! That includes Grandpa and Second Uncle’s family!”

Lu Zishan looked at his daughter in disbelief.

She had never had such a deep ambition before.

Although he had his own plans, he never wanted to force his daughter.

“Dad, I’m preparing to go to work tomorrow,” Lu Manman said directly.

“You’ve decided?”

“What’s not to decide?” Lu Manman smiled. “I should be in the company before Lu Xuanran.”

“Alright, come with me to the company tomorrow.”

“Mm-hm.”

Lu Manman nodded and smiled.

From now on, she would not let anyone lie to her!

She had everything under control and would not compromise with anyone!
