Chapter 235: Something Big Has Happened

Yun Ruojin followed Lu Xiwán to the underground parking lot and patted her back.

"You did well today; looks like you're still very sensible," Yun Ruojin said, very satisfied with the result.

Lu Xiwán's gaze was icy as she looked at Yun Ruojin, "What are you here for?"

Yun Ruojin let out a light laugh, "Why are you so guarded? I just want you to hear something so you won't have to go back to A Jue later."

This time Yun Ruojin was clever too, thinking of completely eliminating Lu Xiwán as a hidden threat.

Not getting a reply from Lu Xiwán, Yun Ruojin opened the recording herself, and Fu Zhuo's clear voice came out of the phone.

"A Jue, your grandfather was so angry about your matter that he ended up in the hospital; you should at least show some attitude, right?"

After a pause, Fu Sijue spoke, "I can marry Yun Ruojin, but I have one condition."

Fu Zhuo: "As long as you're willing to agree, we can accept any condition; Grandfather's health now depends on you."

Fu Sijue's voice carried a resolute tone, "I won't lay a hand on Yun Ruojin. Tell her she must not act against Wanwan, otherwise no one will be okay."

The conversation was only a few short lines; Yun Ruojin, satisfied, put away her phone and looked at Lu Xiwán smugly.

She didn't see the regretful expression she had imagined Lu Xiwán would have.

"A Jue may have said he won't touch me, but feelings can be cultivated. I believe one day A Jue and I will thaw our past grievances."

Lu Xiwán kept observing Yun Ruojin's facial expression, found no flaw; the speaker's style in the recording was almost identical to Fu Sijue's, leaving her unable to spot any inconsistency.

"After hearing this, you should give up. A Jue is destined to be with me, and I will keep our promise, never look for you again, provided you also be honest and never appear before A Jue again!"

Yun Ruojin's trailing tone rose slightly from overexcitement, and Lu Xiwán didn't care at all about what she said.

"Congratulations, you finally got what you wanted," Lu Xiwán tossed the line and drove away.

Her heart was almost completely despondent.

Her persistence seemed to become a joke; the vows she had made before Zhong Yun now felt like sharp needles stabbing Lu Xiwán's heart.

Fu Sijue personally promised to be with Yun Ruojin…

Lu Xiwán parked the car by the roadside, her hand drooping weakly as she watched the endless traffic outside the window.

She almost thought that clearing up the previous misunderstanding would let her be with Fu Sijue, but in the end she still couldn't surpass Fu Sijue's single word.

At this moment Lu Xiwán didn't even have the strength to cry; she just sat dumbfounded, suppressing her feelings.

Lu Xiwán drove home in a daze, numb.

Xi Xi ran over happily when she saw her return, but before she could speak, Lu Xiwán's expression frightened her.

She had never seen a mother like this.

"Mom, are you really okay?"

Lu Xiwán shook her head, pulling out a smile uglier than crying.

Xi Xi's sensible demeanor greatly relieved Lu Xiwán. "Xi Xi, go tidy up some things. Mom has agreed to Uncle Zhong Yun's request; tomorrow morning we'll return to the United States and never come back."

Lu Xixi's sensible demeanor made Lu Xiwán feel very relieved, "Xi Xi, go tidy up some things, Mom has agreed to Uncle Zhong Yun's request; tomorrow morning we'll return to the United States, and we'll never come back again."
