I Became the Billionaire's Target After Pulling Out From My Marriage

Chapter 7: Don't Make Things Too Ugly

However, Jiang Youyi dodged him mercilessly.

"Youyi, can you tell me what's going on between us? What mistake did I make for you to punish me like this? You clearly know how much I love you." Xu Yuning's face was filled with pain, but he was not pretending.

If anyone else was here, they would probably not be able to be ruthless to such a handsome and affectionate face. Unfortunately, the person sitting here was Jiang Youyi, who had been reborn.

"Xu Yuning, I'll explain to everyone what happened between us in front of the elders of the two families tomorrow. See you at the Rose Garden tomorrow."

"Other than needing to give me an explanation for our relationship, you don't have to explain it to anyone. You just have to tell me the truth. As for the others, I can explain it to them for you." Xu Yuning could sense Jiang Youyi's obvious coldness, but he still didn't want to give up.

"Let's part on good terms. Don't make things too ugly. Leave. I don't have anything to explain to you alone." Jiang Youyi's tone was neither cold nor indifferent, but her slightly darkened eyes were already giving people a lot of pressure. The two of them had known each other for five years, and he had been carefully managing their relationship. He had long known that he liked Jiang Youyi more than she liked him. But who asked him to be willing?

Even though he was indignant, he did not want to make Jiang Youyi angry. No matter what problems or misunderstandings there were between the two of them, even if Jiang Youyi wanted to raise other conditions tomorrow, he would agree as long as it was within his ability. It was fine as long as she married him.

The room was silent for a long time. Xu Yuning slowly got up. "See you tomorrow then. Sleep early and don't stay up late."

On one end, Xu Yuning left the Jiang Family reluctantly. On the other end, the Lu Family was also bustling.

After Lu Yunxiao took over the family business, he moved out and lived alone. In the past, when his grandparents were still around, he would often come back to visit the two elders. Ever since his grandfather passed away last year and his grandmother went to his aunt's house to retire, Lu Yunxiao did not come back anymore.

It was because his biological mother had passed away from illness more than 10 years ago. In less than a year, his father anxiously married his second wife. His stepmother was Mr. Lu's high school classmate, an unpopular female celebrity.

After Mr. Lu remarried, the relationship between the father and son, who were not close to begin with, became even more distant. Today, Mr. Lu specially called his son and asked him to come back for dinner. Lu Yunxiao roughly knew what he wanted to ask.

In the Lu Family's courtyard, more than 10 delicious dishes were placed in front of the three of them. Lu Yunxiao ate the food in his bowl absent-mindedly and seemed very silent. On the other hand, his stepmother, Du Meihong, smiled and said, "Yunxiao, your father said that you like bamboo shoots. I specially got someone to dig them out from the lake today. Try them and see how they taste."

"Yes." Lu Yunxiao's tone was calm, but he did not reach out to pick up the dish.

"Do you know the youngest girl from the Jiang Family?" Chairman Lu suddenly asked. This matter had caused an uproar in Ocean City today. He had long heard the news.

"We've met before, but we don't know each other," Lu Yunxiao replied.

"Then why did she run away from the wedding? Does it have anything to do with you?"

"No."

"I saw the video of the wedding venue. That girl said that she has liked you for a long time. Don't you know about this?"

"I just found out today."

"Nonsense! Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? If she really likes you, would you not know at all?" Chairman Lu felt that his son was clearly prevaricating.

"I really don't know." Lu Yunxiao's expression was normal.

No one knew better than Chairman Lu what his child was like. Lu Yunxiao had never bothered to lie since he was young, so he was a little stunned. He looked into his wife's eyes for a long time and didn't know what to say.

Du Meihong was the first to break the silence. She smiled and said, "Yunxiao, don't be angry. Your father doesn't mean that. He's just impatient. He just thinks that you're not young anymore. If you really like that girl, it's not impossible for you to be together. As long as she hasn't registered her marriage with Xu Yuning, it's not considered a second marriage."

"You're still discriminating against second marriages? Which one of you didn't marry for the second time when you married my father?"

Du Meihong was stunned on the spot and did not know what to say.

"Lu Yunxiao! You're too rude! Do you still think you're a child?!" Chairman Lu was so angry that his veins were bulging.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. Take your time." Lu Yunxiao couldn't be bothered to say anything more to his father. He didn't eat much of the food in his bowl. He said that they were eating together, but he was just dealing with them.
