Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 521: Chapter 535: Truly Not Simple

This wasn’t because he was particularly popular with the girls or exceptionally skilled at picking them up, but rather because he often resorted to some extreme measures.

And those women, because he was a local with some family background and Xu Changqing was always generous, in the end, they had no choice but to let it go.

”Cousin, that’s someone Lu Yi has set his eyes on,” Guo Xinyi said softly.

How could Xu Changqing not recognize his cousin’s probing? ”So what if Young Master Lu has set his eyes on her? The position of Young Madam of the Lu Family can only belong to you, Xinyi.”

Guo Xinyi then showed a satisfied smile. ”Cousin, that woman is not simple. The post yesterday was made by Sun Beibei. Within just two days, she got Lu Yi to settle the matter for her. You should know, according to Dad, this matter wasn’t settled solely by Lu Yi; it was evident that the Lu Family intervened.”

”Truly not simple,” the more complex, the more interesting, isn’t it?

Xu Changqing looked at the girl in the distance, gently stroking his chin.

”But cousin, there’s no need to worry too much. That woman worked as a bar girl before. I reckon she didn’t learn any other skills at the bar except how to seduce men,” Guo Xinyi added.

”Can Young Master Lu’s woman work as a bar girl?”

”Who said she’s Lu Yi’s woman?” Guo Xinyi clearly disliked describing An Ran this way. ”Lu Yi is just infatuated with her right now. Once he sees her true colors, would the dignified heir of the Lu Family take a fancy to an orphan like her?”

”Yes, yes, you’re right, cousin. So, let’s have this woman come and entangle with me,” Xu Changqing laughed lecherously.

Guo Xinyi didn’t find him disgusting at all but felt a wave of satisfaction. She still didn’t forget to remind, ”You’d better be cautious. Even though Lu Yi has no real relation to her now, if you provoke that woman and she says something in Lu Yi’s ear, the Lu Family isn’t easy to mess with.”

After all, being able to get Sun Beibei expelled from school, Guo Xinyi felt that An Ran’s status in Lu Yi’s heart was far higher than she had imagined, which further strengthened her resolve to eliminate her.

However, recalling the bar incident still caused her a lingering fear.

Fortunately, Angel stepped in that day. She didn’t know whom Angel had found, but later, she heard that Angel’s backers were either in jail or executed overnight, and Angel herself disappeared that night.

Originally hoping to hear good news, she heard Sun Beibei mention it the next day, saying it was even described as a special forces operation against crime, comparable to an action movie, which led her to keep a low profile for a time, fearing that one day the investigation might reach her.

It wasn’t until the winter break that she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She really didn’t know if it was that woman’s luck or if Lu Yi had acted early on. But then considering the special forces operation, she thought perhaps she was just overthinking it. No matter how wealthy the Lu Family was or how prestigious in Nan’an, they were just merchants. How could they mobilize the military?

Xu Changqing didn’t share Guo Xinyi’s concerns. He chuckled, ”Don’t worry, cousin. You’re underestimating your brother’s charm. I can handle that woman without crossing the Lu Family.”

With that, Guo Xinyi ceased her thoughts, took one last glance in that direction, and turned to head straight for the private room.

She’d rather starve than dine in the hall, facing those two, laughing and chatting.

In the afternoon, An Ran rarely enjoyed a moment of peace, working on her speech. Just then, the class teacher, Tang Huacheng, came in.
