Because the girl looked so eye-catching, even with short hair and simple clothes, she was definitely not a neutral style, but rather full of femininity. Lu Yaoyao saw her at first glance.
The girl also happened to look over, and she seemed a little surprised too, but only raised an eyebrow before smiling at her. She picked up the teacup on the stone table and gestured with her eyes, asking if she wanted to come over for a cup.
It’s quite leisurely, sipping tea in the bamboo grove.
Lu Yaoyao has always been timid, with a “less is more” mentality intending to ignore it. But on second thought, this couldn’t be a coincidence. The person was clearly targeting her, including deliberately speeding in the parking lot last time and almost hitting her.
“What’s wrong?” Hao Jie, seeing her stop, hurriedly asked. She followed her gaze towards the bamboo forest stone table. Hao Jie had never met Bao Sang; even the assistant Shan Shan had only seen his back at the set that day.
“I’ll go take a look.” Lu Yaoyao took a step toward that direction. She was cowardly, but she wouldn’t actively provoke trouble. However, she wasn’t someone who was truly afraid when something happened. When others came to provoke her, how could she just ignore it?
“Yao Yao, don’t worry about it,” said Hao Jie, grabbing her arm. Although she had someone secretly protecting her, in this temple on top of the mountain, they didn’t know the other party’s background. It was better to be careful, just in case something happened and she got caught in the crossfire.
Lu Yaoyao was forcibly dragged to the matchmaking temple by Hao Jie and Shanshan, not allowing her to get close to that girl even half a step. Lu Yaoyao was furious. When she turned back between them to look at the bamboo grove, there was no trace of anyone, as if they had vanished into thin air.
When they arrived at the temple of marriage, Shan Shan went to light incense and make a wish. She stood fuming beside Hao Jie for a while before finally calming down. Her mind also became unusually tranquil:
“Do you really think the other side sent someone to intimidate me?”
She has been in the entertainment industry for several years. Although she may have offended her colleagues unintentionally in the past, nowadays, if someone in the industry wants to get you, they won’t resort to such time-consuming and ineffective methods.
Haojie admitted: “It’s not like that.”
She had completely trusted Gu Shao’s investigation results before, so she didn’t think too much about it. After all, there were all kinds of people in Lin Zhi Da, wasn’t there? Until just now, she also realized that this was not in line with Gu Shao’s style of doing things.
If the brake failure was indeed orchestrated by a competitor to scare Lu Yaoyao, they wouldn’t have allowed for a second, let alone a third, occurrence after the first incident.
Haojie, with her vast experience and knowledge, had a bad premonition. Glancing at Lu Yaoyao, who was arrogant and spoiled beside her, and then recalling the girl from before, could it be that Gu Ruandong’s woman outside?
Only a mistress would dare to provoke the rightful wife so brazenly, and only a mistress could Gu Ruandong allow to get away with it.
Sister Hao had already imagined a melodramatic soap opera in her mind and then gently pushed Lu Yaoyao:
“Hurry, go and pay your respects too.”
Lu Yao yao: “I don’t need it.”
“How come you don’t want to? Do you still want to be with your brother forever?”
“We could have been together forever,” Lu YaoYao said, expressing her complete trust in both Gu RuanDong and their marriage. Just like before, she wished for a happy and fulfilling marriage between Lu Kuo and Ruan Ruan, but she didn’t ask the same for herself because she didn’t need to.
“Then let me bless your marriage again.” Auntie Hao pulled her along without hesitation.
“Okay.”
I have no choice but to kneel together with ShanShan side-by-side, just like what Haojie did to us. I mimicked ShanShan’s words and followed her lead: “My name is Lu Yaoyao…”
That did it. She forgot all about the girl she had just seen, but Sister Hao’s heart was troubled by her suspicions. She was worried and anxious. When she saw them finish their prayers, she hurried forward and knelt down, devoutly making a wish.
For that silly girl, I wish for her to be protected and cared for throughout her life, free from harm and suffering.
Go go, just as you wish.
After making all the wishes at the summit, it was already afternoon. The group took the cable car down the mountain and arrived at the parking lot. The driver who had brought them up waited for them to get into the car. He needed to check the vehicle thoroughly. This was the same car Gu Ruandong had asked him to drive before. Ever since the brake failure incident, the driver had to check every function of the car each time he started it.
The driver is inspecting the vehicle, while Lu Yaoyao and Hao Jie stand beside him chatting.
Their car was about a few meters away from theirs. There were five or six black cars parked there, all identical and very eye-catching. They were all from the same brand and worth over eight figures. What was even more peculiar was that all the license plates started with “Sen”, followed by the same set of numbers. If Lu YaoYao remembered correctly, her family’s garage also had one, which Gu Ruandong occasionally drove. Its license plate was “Sen 88888”, strikingly similar to these cars.
Just as she was curious, the several cars started up simultaneously and drove past them. The window of one car was rolled down, and Lu Yaoyao saw that girl again. She sat in the back seat next to them, and beside her was a friend of Gu Ruandong’s. Although it was just a flash, Lu Yaoyao remembered her because she had met her once at a banquet a while ago. The other party had enthusiastically called her “sister-in-law,” so she left a deep impression on Lu Yaoyao. It was just that there were too many people that day, and she hadn’t remembered anyone’s name.
So, this girl knows someone from Gu Ruandong’s circle of friends? Looking at the stream of cars and license plates pouring out behind her, she immediately understood. She must be from the same batch as Gu Ruandong’s car, bought and registered at the same time.
Aunt Hao also saw the girl and naturally noticed the license plates. She remembered that Gu Ruandong had one too, because he once drove that car to pick up Lu Yaoyao. The license plate was very memorable.
It seemed to confirm her suspicions from atop the mountain, filling her with even greater worry.
“Miss Lu, the car check is complete. Please get in.” The driver opened the car door and respectfully invited her to get in.
Here, several luxury cars that just left the parking lot, a few people inside are having a voice conversation:
“Wasn’t that the young lady from the big family in the parking lot just now? I don’t think I’m seeing things, am I?”
“No, it’s really her.”
“Damn, that’s too much of a coincidence, isn’t it?”
“Baosang, did she just see you?”
The voice system suddenly fell silent, as if dead.
In the end, it was Jin Haoyu who suggested first: “You guys, while Shao Gu isn’t aware yet, take this chance to report the situation proactively. Today was pure coincidence.”
“No need.”
“Although it’s really just a coincidence, but can Gu Shao believe it? He must think it’s you causing trouble again. If he gets angry later, none of us will have a good time.”
