Biting the red lips

Chapter 38

Sheng Wan was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "It's nothing, I just feel a little nervous thinking about meeting Mr. Luo later."

She glanced at the man beside her and said unintentionally: "I wonder if the old man still remembers me. I remember one time when I was a child, I followed my father to Luo's house and accidentally broke the old man's favorite inkstone. ”

"I was so scared that I cried, but the old man not only did not blame me, but also kept comforting me. He said that the inkstone is just a dead object, and it will break if it breaks. You said that if I broke the old man's beloved thing, he would still Will you be as tolerant to me as you were when you were a child? Or..."

Before Sheng Wan could finish her words, the sudden tightening of her wrists made her lose her voice instantly.

"Sheng Wan, I remember I told you." Gu Huaichen looked at her sideways, his eyes full of coldness, "Don't be clever in front of me."

Sheng Wan deliberately pretended not to understand: "...What are you talking about? I don't understand."

"don't know?"

Gu Huaichen's lips were filled with mockery, and his eyes looked at her more deeply.

"You are a smart person, so why bother pretending to be confused? Weren't you just testing my bottom line just now? What, you want to know if you make a mistake in the Luo family, will I step in to protect you?"

Sheng Wan raised her eyes, her clear eyes filled with unabashed calmness.

"You're right, I'm testing you. Because I'm afraid, I'm afraid that I'll be left alone again. I don't want to experience that feeling of being accused by thousands of people and being abandoned by everyone."

At the end of the sentence, Sheng Wan's voice became choked up: "It's true that I'm testing you, but I'm just out of fear and want to get some protection."

"Is it really just because of fear?" Gu Huaichen stared at her with sharp eyes like a hawk, as if he wanted to see her through.

Sheng Wan's eyes turned red, looking pitiful.

However, she did not evade at all, and faced his gaze calmly: "What else could it be? It's not like I'm mentally ill, and I'm just looking for trouble for myself."

A different emotion flashed in Gu Huaichen's eyes, which was quickly covered up.

He looked at her indifferently, pursed his lips, and said, "Mr. Luo has been very kind to me. When you get to Luo's house later, you must respect him. You are a smart man, you should know what to do." .”

Sheng Wan was stunned for a moment, then nodded obediently: "I understand."

But in his heart, he reassessed the relationship between Gu Huaichen and the Luo family.

Glancing at the man with a stern face on her side, Sheng Wan thought to herself. According to the information from the investigation, she knew that the Luo and Gu families had been friends for generations.

After something happened to the Gu family, Mr. Luo insisted on adopting Gu Huaichen, despite all opinions, and personally helped him manage the Gu family's business.

At that time, this incident was aroused in Hong Kong City. Many people said that the Luo family weasel paid New Year greetings to the chicken out of kindness. It was called adoption, but in fact it was to plot the Gu family's industry.

But in the end everyone was slapped in the face!
When Gu Huaichen came of age, Mr. Luo returned the Gu Group intact to him.

In other words, the Luo family clearly had the opportunity to embezzle the Gu family, but in the end they did not covet a single cent of the Gu family!
The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the prosperity of the world is all for profit.

Since ancient times, businessmen have attached great importance to profits. Are the Luo family and Mr. Luo really so upright and aboveboard...

Sheng Wan lowered her eyes slightly, hiding her emotions.

She never hesitates to speculate on others with the utmost malice.

If Mr. Luo was really upright, he would not have hurriedly called Luo Xin back from abroad to deliberately poach her, even though he knew that Gu Huaichen's girlfriend was Sheng Wan.

Even though her father died early, and even though the relationship between the Sheng family and the Luo family was not as close as the Gu Luo family, she could still be considered a daughter of a family friend.

Would an upright person allow his granddaughter to steal the orphan girl's boyfriend?
But Mr. Luo did just that, and he was not a laissez-faire, but a leader. He was the one who personally called Luo Xin back from abroad.

Such a person can actually withstand the temptation and not seek to seize the Gu family's property, which shows his deep thinking.

Sheng Wan concluded in her heart that Mr. Luo must not be an easy person to guess, and he must have big plans!
No one spoke anymore, and the car became completely quiet.

Sheng Wan rubbed her temples, which were a little swollen, and followed the example of the man next to her, half-leaning on her seat, closing her eyes slightly to rest.An hour later, the car drove into the western suburbs garden and stopped outside a Chinese-style courtyard.

Sheng Wan raised her head and looked out through the car window.

Surrounded by mountains, I saw a large, painted red house located halfway up the mountain. It had red walls, gray tiles, and upturned eaves. It was extremely magnificent.

Although it was not yet evening, the garden was brightly lit and looked majestic and atmospheric.

Sheng Wan looked at the Luo family's old house, which was exactly the same as in her memory. It would be a lie to say that she was not touched.

In the past, the Sheng family was also like this, even more luxurious than the Luo family.

Since her father's death, the Sheng family has become nothing more than a memory.

Who still remembers that among the famous families in Hong Kong City, there used to be a Sheng family.

Sheng Wan lowered her eyes slightly, loneliness flashed across her eyes.

In front of the house, the housekeeper received news early in the morning that a distinguished guest would be visiting this afternoon, so he waited outside the door early.

"Mr. Chen, the rules of the old house are that cars are not allowed into the mansion. Could you please get out of the car and follow me in." The housekeeper stood outside the car and said respectfully.

Gu Huaichen nodded and accepted this well: "I know the rules, please lead the way."

After Sheng Wan was initially surprised, she quickly adjusted her expression and followed Gu Huaichen in an orderly manner.

Unexpectedly, over the years, the Luo family's arrogance has become bigger and bigger.

She remembered that when she came here as a child, there was a road for vehicles to pass, leading directly to the main house of the mansion.

It's completely different now. The car must be parked outside the house. If you want to see Mr. Luo, you can only walk in.

Are you treating yourself like a local emperor?

Sheng Wan rolled her eyes in her heart and lowered her eyes to hide the sarcasm in her eyes.

Stepping into the vermilion gate of the house, the servants stood in a row and greeted Gu Huaichen: "Welcome home, Master Chen!"

Gu Huaichen was accustomed to this posture.

Along the way, you can see rockeries, flowing water, pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings everywhere, which is so beautiful.

The servants I met were all polite and well-behaved.

From this point of view, the Luo family is not only wealthy, but also has strict rules.

Sheng Wan vaguely remembered that when she was a child, she heard her parents say that the ancestors of the Luo family were the founding heroes of the country, and they were also a scholarly family that had been passed down for centuries.

Now it seems that it is so.

No wonder the shelves are so big.

After walking around for a while, the housekeeper took them to an antique study room.

Gu Huaichen suddenly stopped and Sheng Wan followed him with her head lowered. She was caught off guard and almost bumped into his back.

Sheng Wan raised her eyes and glanced at him doubtfully, wondering why she stopped suddenly when she was walking well.

However, what happened next directly subverted her outlook on life.
