Chapter 185: The Rich Jin Whose Soul Was Replaced (30)
"mom!"
Seeing that his mother just glanced at him without any response, Lu Yi was worried that she had not completed what he had asked her to do, so he walked over impatiently.
Of course, the person who had the same idea as Lu Yi at this time was Liu Yuanyuan, who was carrying Gu Yan's body.
Liu Yuanyuan looked at Lan Xin's luxurious graduation banquet, and the jealousy in her heart was almost overflowing. In her heart, everything today should have belonged to her.
"Xiao Yi is here!"
As soon as Lu Yi and Liu Yuanyuan came over, Lan's mother noticed them. When she saw Liu Yuanyuan beside Lu Yi, Lan's mother paused slightly. It was really hard to describe the look of Gu Yan.
However, with Lan's mother's upbringing, even if she thought this person was a bit eye-catching, she would not show it. Instead, she nodded lightly, looked at Lu Yi with some doubt, and asked, "Xiao Yi, is this your friend?"
In Lan's mother's eyes, Lu Yi is no longer a future son-in-law. Seeing him hanging out with Gu Yan, who doesn't look like a well-educated person, she doesn't have any intention of preaching to him.
When Lu Yi heard this, he glanced at Liu Yuanyuan who was following him. He didn't expect her to follow him. However, he didn't know what to say at this moment. Under Lan's mother's puzzled gaze, he nodded and said, "Yes, Auntie, this is my friend Gu Yan."
Originally, Lu Yi did not want to introduce Liu Yuanyuan, who was carrying Gu Yan's body, to the people around him. One reason was that Gu Yan's appearance was a bit embarrassing, and the other reason was that he was still thinking of transferring Liu Yuanyuan's soul into Lan Xin's body. Naturally, he would not have anything to do with someone like Gu Yan then.
only......
As soon as Liu Yuanyuan heard that Lu Yi was coming to attend Lan Xin's graduation banquet, she kept crying and begging to come with Lu Yi. In the end, Lu Yi couldn't persuade her and had to bring her along.
Lan Xin, who was standing aside, saw Lu Yi and Liu Yuanyuan standing together without saying anything. Her eyes inadvertently noticed a hint of green showing under Liu Yuanyuan's left long sleeve. She then looked at the jade bracelet that Lu's mother had just put on her wrist, her expression slightly stern.
It seems that some people are still unwilling to give up!
You really like to covet things that don't belong to you, right?
In that case, hopefully they will like what she prepares for them next.
Thinking of this, Lan Xin took off the jade bracelet on her hand and stuffed it back into Lu's mother's hand, "Aunt, your jade bracelet is too valuable. I can't accept it!"
Although this imperial green jade bracelet is nothing to the Lan family, the richest family in the city with assets worth trillions of dollars, it is still a considerable financial expenditure for the Lu family.
If she accepted their bracelets without any hesitation, Lu Yi would inevitably become suspicious and wonder if she knew something before and was going to repeat the same trick this time.
In order to avoid Lu Yi's suspicion, Lan Xin naturally needed to make some excuses.
When Lu's mother gave Lan Xin the jade bracelet, her heart was bleeding and she was reluctant to part with it. However, she thought of her son's words that as long as Lan Xin wore the jade bracelet for a full week, all the assets of the Lan family would belong to their Lu family.
You can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing a kid!
Even though Mother Lu was so heartbroken and reluctant, she still put the jade bracelet on Lan Xin's wrist without saying a word.
Now seeing that Lan Xin actually returned the bracelet, Mother Lu couldn't help but feel happy for a moment.
However, the momentary joy disappeared in an instant when she met her son's eyes. She gritted her teeth and put the bracelet on Lan Xin's wrist again, "Xinxin, this is just a small token of my appreciation. Don't refuse it anymore, otherwise, I will be angry!"
"Aunt......"
Lan Xin looked at her mother with a deliberately embarrassed expression, then at Lu Yi.
Seeing this, Lu Yi's doubts were mostly dispelled, and he agreed, "Xinxin, just accept it. My mother does this because she likes you."
The tone in which Lu Yi said this was completely like that of Lan Xin's fiancé, but he did not say it explicitly, and Lan Xin did not want to refute him in person.
but......
Lan Xin had no intention of refutating Lu Yi. The best way to deal with such a shameless person who didn't understand what others said was to just ignore him.
"Xinxin, since this is a little gift from your Aunt Lu, just accept it!"
Lan's mother, who didn't know the truth, was a little surprised to see Lu's mother giving her daughter a gift alone for the first time, but she didn't think much about it, nor did she think there was anything wrong with Lu's mother giving her daughter a bracelet. After all, Lu's mother usually liked to give her things.
But what Lan's mother never thought about was that the reason why Lu's mother often liked to give her things was simply because every time she gave Lan's mother something, Lan's mother would always give her something more valuable in return.
Lan Xin felt that it was almost time, so she stopped arguing and took the jade bracelet. She said gratefully to Lu's mother, "Then I'll accept this jade bracelet. Thank you, Aunt Lu!"
When Mother Lu saw Lan Xin accept her jade bracelet, she touched Lan Xin's head in a feigned loving manner and said with a smile, "Why are you being so polite to your Aunt Lu?"
As for Lan Xin, her body stiffened when Lu's mother's hand touched her, and then relaxed.
If you don’t know, you would really think that Lan Xin and Lu’s mother have a very good relationship.
But in fact...
This was the first time that Lu's mother gave Lan Xin a gift directly. In the past, the Lu family would give gifts directly to Lan Xin's parents, and then say that it was for Lan Xin and asked them to pass it on, as if they were afraid that Lan Xin's parents didn't know that they had given Lan Xin a gift.
This time, the jade bracelet was given to Lan Xin only when she was alone. The reason why Lan's mother knew about it was because she came to look for her daughter and happened to meet her.
............
Although she saw Lan Xin accept the jade bracelet with her own eyes, Liu Yuanyuan still felt a little uneasy for some reason, and this uneasiness made her feel anxious.
This is not...
When they returned home and the study door closed, Liu Yuanyuan couldn't help but throw herself into Lu Yi's arms, and said with a worried look on her face: "Brother Lu Yi, there shouldn't be any problems this time, right? What if..."
"will not!"
After Liu Yuanyuan finished speaking, Lu Yi couldn't help but interrupt him.
The affirmative tone seemed to be giving Liu Yuanyuan confidence, and at the same time giving himself confidence.
Having learned from the last lesson, in order to avoid any accidents like last time, Lu Yi spent several times the price to shorten the soul exchange time to within a week.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to shorten the soul exchange time, but seven days is already the limit. No matter how much money he spends, that person can’t shorten the time.
