Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Miss Lu, We’ll Wait and See (4) Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Miss Lu, We’ll Wait and See (4) “But our society loves scandals; every time we bring others down to elevate you, people will begin to suspect we’re taking bribes!”

Bai Lingyun: “…”

“Yet I can play the high-level critic,” Lu Wanwan said, her clear eyes suddenly curving into a sweet smile. “I’ll criticize in such a way that no one can hate you for it, and everyone will see it’s just nitpicking without basis.”

“Hmm, you have potential.” He curled his lips, suddenly wanting to pat her head.

His fingers had just moved when he put them back down.

“Let’s leave it at that then. What about Mr. Gu?” he asked suddenly.

The previously enthusiastic Lu Wanwan, upon hearing Gu Annan’s name, found herself speechless, a fleeting shadow of gloom passing over her.

“He’s… inside,” she said as she put away her phone. “I’ll go in first, goodbye.”

Bai Lingyun appeared thoughtful, leaning lazily against the palm tree behind him, watching her as she walked toward the brightly lit area.

Lu Wanwan hesitated whether it was necessary to go inside. Looking down, she saw sand on her shoes and dress hem–Gu Annan would be displeased to see her so dirty.

This hardly resembled the picture of a dignified and graceful fiancee suitable to stand by his side.

“Haha, aware that you’re an eyesore, you come to mingle among this crowd of lowly models?” Ji Jiayi, in her high heels, had walked out at some point.

She held a glass of champagne, her gaze full of indignation as she looked at Lu Wanwan.

Having spent half the day by Gu Annan’s side, she could only watch as his expression grew colder, showing no patience for additional conversation with her.

She felt very uncomfortable after being snubbed, and the sight of Lu Wanwan upon stepping outside inflamed her sense of injustice once more.

Even if this woman was just one of Gu Annan’s mistresses, whom he could summon or dismiss with a wave, Ji Jiayi couldn’t stand the sight of her to the extreme.

“You don’t need to go inside; Brother Annan doesn’t want to see you right now,” Ji Jiayi said with an arrogant tone, her eyes looking down with contempt. “Today, I forgot to tell him I’d be coming; otherwise, you wouldn’t have had the chance to show up here.”

“Ji Jiayi, I don’t want to argue with you right now; please step aside,” Lu Wanwan said, pronouncing each word clearly.

Having a dispute with Ji Jiayi in this setting, especially if people started watching, would likely upset Gu Annan.

She needed to be careful and wait for his anger to subside.

“Why should I move just because you tell me to?” Ji Jiayi particularly couldn’t stand her attitude, blocking her path even more directly. “I warn you, don’t play tricks with me. Brother Annan will marry me in the end, he will! If you have any self-awareness, leave him–and if you want money, just say so.”

“Are you done? Can you move now?” she asked calmly in return.

Ji Jiayi was boiling with rage, particularly infuriated by Lu Wanwan’s composure, which seemed to disregard her as a threat altogether, as if… she was certain that Gu Annan was hers.

As Lu Wanwan moved past her, in a moment of anger, Ji Jiayi’s originally sweet face revealed a flash of resentment in her eyes.

She stood at a distance but sharply kicked out her foot.

The ground around the pool was tiled and naturally slippery.

Lu Wanwan suddenly felt her whole body lighten and crashed hard onto the tiles.

Before she could get up, a wet and cool liquid poured down from above.

Ji Jiayi, holding her glass, looked down at the person at her feet until she had poured out all of the champagne.

She watched the woman on the ground with a cold laugh, feeling a measure of relief seeing her in such a wretched state.

To suffer such a humiliating fall under the public eye, to be gawked at in such a pitiful condition–let’s see if you still have the face to appear with Gu Annan at such events in the future!
