Needless to say, the Lu family held a significant position in the military and political circles.
Lu Chongguang, who was 60 years old, was not only a commanding officer but also the frontrunner with the highest odds to become the next president.
The Han Corporation had solidified its presence in the capital over several decades.
Lu Chongguang’s several sons were even more formidable. Under their management, the Han Corporation expanded multiple times. As long as the Lu family was mentioned, they had to give them some face.
Therefore, Yu Anwan was somewhat taken aback, but she maintained her composure outwardly.
“Are you here for the evening banquet?” On the other hand, Xu Wan engaged Yu
Anwan in a lively conversation.
“Yes.” Yu Anwan smiled.
Lu Chongguang didn’t talk much. He just stood quietly beside Xu Wan, but it was obvious that Lu Chongguang and Xu Wan had a good relationship.
“Anwan, can I call you that?” Xu Wan nodded.
“Of course, feel free to call me that,” Yu Anwan replied with a smile.
It was just a name, and there was no need to make a fuss about it. Any form of address was acceptable, especially since Yu Anwan didn’t want to offend the Lu family. Maintaining a good relationship with them was far better than creating any tensions, even inadvertently.
Xu Wan’s happiness grew. “Then let’s find a suitable time to have a meal together. It would be a great opportunity to express our gratitude.”
“Whenever there’s a chance, of course. It would be my pleasure,” Yu Anwan graciously responded.
Xu Wan nodded. It was apparent that Lu Chongguang had matters to attend to, and Yu Anwan could tell at a glance.
She quickly added with a smile and said, “Auntie, Uncle, you can go ahead and attend to your tasks. When you have time, we can get in touch. Here’s my phone number.”
Yu Anwan conscientiously handed her phone number to the couple.
Xu Wan immediately exchanged numbers with Yu Anwan, and Yu Anwan made sure to save them.
Subsequently, Yu Anwan nodded in agreement. However, she couldn’t help but sense that Lu Chongguang and Xu Wan’s gaze held a deeper meaning as they looked at her.
Yet, Yu Anwan didn’t dwell on it too much, swiftly making her way out of the hotel.
As Yu Anwan departed, Xu Wan tightly gripped Lu Chongguang’s arm, her voice trembling slightly.
“Chongguang, did you notice the earrings?” Xu Wan raised her head to ask Lu Chongguang.
Lu Chongguang’s eyes also shimmered with emotion, although his tone remained steady. “Yes, I saw them. You prepared it when our daughter was born.”
Although it was just a pearl earring, many people thought it was not eye-catching. At most, they thought it was of good quality.
However, anyone who knew the value of the pearl earrings would know that they were priceless.
They were bought at an auction in Zürich. They were meaningful, and there was only one pair in the world. When Xu Wan bought them, she was already pregnant with a daughter. She was the only daughter of the Lu family, and naturally, the Lu family doted on her.
The birth of this daughter was highly anticipated by the Lu family.
However, when their youngest daughter was born before they even had a chance to decide on a name, Xu Wan took a glance at her daughter and placed the pearl earrings in her swaddling clothes. It was a gift for her newborn daughter, given with deep meaning.
But the youngest daughter of the Lu family vanished without a trace. Despite the Lu family employing all their influence, the ultimate news they received was that their daughter had been abducted.
This incident left Xu Wan mentally dazed for a long time. Lu Chongguang set aside all official matters to be with Xu Wan, and only through his companionship did Xu Wan gradually begin to recover.
During this period, Xu Wan had to take numerous hormonal medications to manage her condition, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of her former beauty. However, Lu Chongguang displayed no hint of aversion.
And now, Xu Wan saw Yu Anwan.
The moment Xu Wan first laid eyes on Yu Anwan at Jiang City Airport, she felt like she was seeing a mirror image of her own younger self.
Lu Chongguang had a similar thought.
However, it was a fleeting moment. It felt too rushed, making him believe it was nothing more than a coincidence.
Until now, upon seeing the earring on Yu Anwan’s ear, Xu Wan couldn’t remain composed any longer.
“Chongguang, don’t you think…” Xu Wan’s grip on Lu Chongguang’s hand tightened even further. “I can’t believe this is just a coincidence.”
“Take a moment to calm down. I will thoroughly investigate this matter.” Lu Chongguang reassured Xu Wan.
He, more than anyone else, hoped that Yu Anwan was indeed the missing youngest daughter of the Lu family from all those years ago. However, compared to Xu Wan’s excitement, Lu Chongguang managed to maintain a much calmer demeanor.
“Alright.” Xu Wan nodded.
Indeed, there was no use in getting anxious.
Moreover, many matters couldn’t be rushed, so Xu Wan suppressed her nervous heartbeat and allowed Lu Chongguang to lead her back into the hotel.
Tonight’s events were both unexpected and astonishing.
Yu Anwan had been struggling to find a taxi. The current time in Jiang City was during a peak period for taxis, and they were all occupied.
Feeling uncomfortable all over, Yu Anwan cursed Wen Jin in her mind countless times. The sensation of goosebumps had begun to spread incessantly, and Yu Anwan found herself sniffling, even on the brink of tears.
This was a classic allergic reaction. Over the years, Yu Anwan’s allergy to orange juice had never improved. In fact, it had escalated to an extreme level.
Just a sip was enough to push Yu Anwan to her breaking point. And, to make matters worse, tonight Yu Anwan had been acting impulsively and had consumed quite a bit of alcohol.
She let out a forceful sneeze, her goosebumps rising in places she couldn’t even see. The discomfort was unbearable, yet she couldn’t scratch it.
Yu Anwan needed to go to the hospital.
Even though she was a doctor herself, there was no way around it. She required an IV drip to alleviate her condition.
Unfortunately, Yu Anwan still couldn’t manage to hail a taxi.
In her state, Yu Anwan was about to call for an ambulance when her hand suddenly fell into a warm grasp.
That familiar masculine scent overwhelmed her senses.
Yu Anwan was momentarily taken aback. She stared at Wen Jin, who stood before her, a puzzled expression on his face.
And now, Yu Anwan’s immediate reaction was to slap Wen Jin, a culmination of both old grievances and new grudges.
“Yu Anwan, why did I never notice that you enjoy physical altercations so much?” Wen Jin inquired and his face was cold.
Naturally, he had no intention of letting Yu Anwan get another chance to strike him.
The Yu Anwan from the past had been unbelievably docile, obedient to a fault. Whatever Wen Jin said, she complied with. Cooperation with Wen Jin was the extent of her interactions. When had she ever seen Yu Anwan engage in such physical behavior?
But now, every time Yu Anwan encountered Wen Jin, she seemed unable to resist her urge, promptly delivering a slap across his face.
Wen Jin felt that he either deserved to be abused or was being abused. That was why he had tolerated Yu Anwan’s repeated insults.
“It’s never too late to find out!” Yu Anwan sneered.
Under such circumstances, Wen Jin suddenly let go of Yu Anwan. Yu Anwan didn’t react in time. Coupled with the fact that she was wearing high heels, the sudden gravity made her stagger.
This was great.
She crashed into Wen Jin’s arms.
Wen Jin raised his eyebrows and held Yu Anwan’s waist inquisitively. “So, all this hitting and kicking was just to throw yourself into my arms?”
Yu Anwan was speechless..
