Biting the red lips

Chapter 41 Long time no see
Sheng Wan sneered in her heart. She knew without guessing that Luo Xin was deliberately making Qiao disgusted with her.

These wealthy families pay close attention to everything they say and do.

Even if I don't like you in my heart, if I want to deliberately target you, I will cover it up with a cover up, so that I can be polite in front of others and don't make comments behind others.

She and Gu Huaichen had informed the Luo family early that they were coming to visit this afternoon.

With Luo Xin's thoughts on Gu Huaichen, knowing that he was coming over, how could she give up the opportunity to get along with him and go out early by herself?
To put it bluntly, Luo Xin didn't like her and wasn't willing to talk to her, so he just wanted to send her away for any reason.

Sheng Wan snorted coldly and looked at Wang Ma with a half-smile, not hiding the sarcasm in her eyes.

"Really? It seems that Sister Luo Xin is really a busy person. She doesn't even have time to entertain the guests."

Wang Ma couldn't help but be stunned, as if she didn't expect Sheng Wan to react like this.

The ladies from aristocratic families she had met in the past, even if they were angry, they tried their best to control their emotions in front of outsiders and did not want to lose their self-control.

It can be said that Sheng Wan's straight shot almost confused Wang Ma, who had lived in the Luo family's old house for a long time.

"Maybe there's something important..."

Wang Ma looked stern, thinking of the man's instructions, and asked tentatively, "How about I take you to the garden in the back to have a look? The hibiscus in the backyard is in full bloom now, and the scenery is very good."

Sheng Wan looked at her expressionlessly: "Lead the way."

She was impulsive just now, but actually there was no need for her to attack Mother Wang.

What’s the point of embarrassing Queen Mother?She was just following orders.

Although she understood the truth, she really couldn't act as if nothing had happened.

Compared to Luo Xin, she was indeed a little less mature.

Sheng Wan was thinking as she followed behind Wang Ma.

After a while, they arrived at the back garden of Luo's house.

There is an artificial lake in the lush garden, and a large patch of hibiscus is planted next to the lakeside boardwalk. It has now entered its peak flowering period.

These hibiscus flowers are large and numerous.The colors range from dark red to light red, and they bloom in layers on the branches, forming a small ocean of flowers.

Sheng Wan exhaled slowly, looking at the beautiful scenery in front of her, her depression dissipated a lot.

She stood on the wooden plank road, turned to Wang Ma, and said, "I want to be alone for a while. You can go down first."

Wang Ma hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed: "Okay, Miss Sheng. The kitchen has made some new snacks. Do you want me to send some over?"

Sheng Wan shook her head: "No need, I have no appetite now."

Wang Ma nodded, glanced in a certain direction among the flowers, then turned and left.

Sheng Wan stood there, looking at the distant sky, speechless for a long time.

"Wanwan?"

A familiar and gentle male voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Sheng Wan turned around, and under the soft late summer sunlight, a handsome face came into her eyes instantly.

"Brother Luo Lin..."

Sheng Wan was stunned for a moment, looking intently at the familiar yet unfamiliar man in front of her.

Luo Lin.

The grandson of Luo's eldest son, Luo Xin's cousin, and also her father's most proud student during his lifetime, a close disciple.

I remember that when she was very young, her father often lamented to her, saying that Luo Lin was extremely intelligent and was born for scientific research.

At that time, she was jealous because her father paid too much attention to Luo Lin, and she secretly teased Luo Lin several times.

However, Luo Lin was never angry with her. He always seemed to be a gentle and gentle nobleman.After her father died, Luo Lin was quickly sent abroad by the Luo family, and she was adopted by the Fu family.

Since then, she and Luo Lin have never seen each other again.

I thought they would never have the chance to meet again in this life, but I didn't expect that they would meet today. I didn't know what to say for a while.

"Wanwan, why have you become mute?"

Luo Lin looked at her with a pair of warm auspicious eyes and smiled, "I remember you were naughty before. You were chirping all day long, like a cute little lark."

Luo Lin's tone was familiar and enthusiastic, as if they had never been separated.

He looked at the girl who had fully grown, his eyes full of pity and love: "How have you been in these years?"

Sheng Wan pursed her lips and took a deep breath to calm down.

Then he raised his head, looked directly at Luo Lin, and smiled nonchalantly: "I am living a good life. I have been eating and drinking without any worries."

In fact, she had not lived a good life in these years. Living in the Fu family, she had no worries about food and drink materially, but the spiritual emptiness and torture never stopped.

But Sheng Wan didn't want to say these words to Luo Lin, maybe because she didn't want to embarrass herself in front of her once familiar friends.

Luo Lin stared at her for a long time. Even though he saw the insincerity of her words, he did not expose her. He followed her example and pretended to be relaxed and chatted with her.

"When did you come back?" Sheng Wan asked casually.

Luo Lin stood side by side with her, looking at the intertwined shadows of the two on the ground, the corners of his lips raised slightly.

However, after hearing her question, the smile suddenly froze at the corner of his mouth, and his voice was low and lonely: "...I just returned to China last month."

Luo Lin would never forget that day. He came back from abroad in high spirits and was ready to find Sheng Wan.

But he learned from his grandfather that the girl he loved had now become someone else's woman.

At that moment, the whole world collapsed in front of him, and his heart was broken.

For the next half month, he locked himself in his room and licked his wounds alone.

Today I learned from the servant that she was alone in the living room, and Luo Xin deliberately made things difficult. When Na Qiao was nowhere to be seen, he asked Wang Ma to lead her to the back garden.

Now that he finally saw her, his painstaking arrangements were not in vain.

In the past, when he couldn't see anyone, Luo Lin had a lot of things he wanted to say to Sheng Wan.

But when he saw the real person, he didn't know what to say.

Luo Lin had never hated his stupidity as much as he did now. In order to prevent the atmosphere from becoming cold, he could only find a random topic to chat about.

"Wanwan, are you still investigating the cause of your teacher's death all these years?"

Sheng Wan was shocked and looked at him at a loss.

This is the Luo family, why is he talking so carelessly?Think she can't die soon enough?

Luo Lin didn't notice the change in her expression and continued to talk to himself.

"I remember one time when I was a child, you ran out of Fu's house secretly and told me about the doubts about the teacher's death. Has the investigation been going well over the years? How is the progress?"

When Sheng Wan heard this, her heartbeat skipped a beat. She was afraid that the walls had ears, so she immediately denied it.

"I, I was talking nonsense when I was a kid. I couldn't accept my father's sudden death at that time, so I felt weird about everything I saw. I almost forgot the words I said."

I felt that the content was a bit blunt, and Sheng Wan wanted to add a few more words to make up for it.

Suddenly, I heard Luo Xin's familiar taunting voice coming from the flowers on the plank road opposite.
