When Wen Wen returned to the villa, she saw a neatly pasted piece of paper next to the gate.

Four bold, eye-catching characters—"The Lu Family Rules"

She was always in a panic, filled with fear, and when she went in and out of the house, she was so anxious that she never even glanced at the sticker.

Look carefully now.

[Article 1: You must request leave and report your absence in advance before going out. Fees will be deducted based on the duration of your absence. You must return home and check in before 7:30 PM. Failure to do so will result in an immediate and hefty fine.]

The text, though only a few lines long, is clear and legible.

Wen Wen subconsciously turned her head and looked around the entire villa's living room.

Only then did she belatedly realize that the family rules she had completely ignored were posted in every corner of the Lu family home.

Wen Qi was afraid that the Lu family wouldn't see it and wouldn't take it seriously, so she asked Butler Fang to post the family rules in the most conspicuous places.

On both sides of the TV wall in the living room, at the corner of the stair railing, next to the kitchen counter, and in the hallway.

In prominent places along the walls of the large courtyard, neat family rules notices are posted.

A quick glance reveals at least thirty densely packed sheets, prominently positioned and easily identifiable.

Wen Wen's mind went completely blank.

For the past ten days, she has been suffering from internal turmoil and sleepless nights, her mind filled with thoughts of how to escape.

Should we tell her now that she can go out as long as she asks for leave?

In the living room, everyone's eyes were on Wen Wen.

Wen Qi leaned back lazily on the sofa, quietly watching the show.

The seven or eight girls nearby looked on in astonishment, their eyes clearly saying, "Is she crazy?"

Even Lu Jisheng, who was lying paralyzed on the stretcher, stared at her with a face full of confusion.

Speechless, confused, dumbfounded—it's hard to put into words.

No one could understand what kind of baffling behavior Wen Wen had just exhibited.

Butler Fang's face darkened, and he stepped forward, unable to contain himself any longer: "Miss Wen, what do you mean by this? Someone has come to visit, and you're shouting and acting like a madwoman. Such rudeness! Where does this leave the Lu family's reputation?"

These words were like a hard slap to Wen Wen's face, leaving her burning red.

Wen Wen's eyes were red-rimmed; she didn't believe what was written in the family rules.

He walked into the living room, facing everyone's gaze, and looked at Wen Qi, saying, "I would like to ask for leave."

Wen Qi: "How long?"

"one day."

"Ten million. You must be back to clock in by 7:30 PM. Late arrivals will be subject to double the fine."

Wen Wen panicked: "Ten million? That much?"

Wen Qi raised an eyebrow: "Even members of the Lu family take leave, don't you know how much it costs?"

Wen Wen choked; she did indeed know.

She had heard Wang Cui muttering and cursing behind Old Master Lu's back several times. If it weren't for the ten million a day, Wang Cui wouldn't have gone without a single day of rest.

Who would be willing to spend ten million a day?

Wen Wen simply couldn't come up with ten million, but she had to go out right now to clarify the situation with her mother, Fang Xue.

We need to go and check on the Wen family's situation.

After hesitating for a moment, she changed her mind: "Then I'll treat you to five hours!"

Wen Qi: "Five million."

Five million was still a huge sum of money, and Wen Wen was penniless and couldn't come up with it at all.

She subconsciously turned to look at Lu Jisheng.

When Lu Jisheng met Wen Wen's pleading gaze, his pitiful competitive spirit and protective instincts kicked in at any moment.

"I'll pay."

Wen Wen breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Wen Qi had no objection to this; as long as the money arrived in her account, it didn't matter who paid.

The housekeeper was very sensible and immediately stepped forward to take out Lu Jisheng's personal cell phone and hand it to him.

Lu Jisheng held his phone, dawdling for a long time, but did not make the transfer.

Upon seeing this, Wen Qi couldn't help but sneer, "Don't tell me you don't have money."
