Send you to the crematorium! Divorce and remarry the heir of a wealthy family

“I don’t quite understand what you said…”

"I'll elaborate on that later."

Lu Zhiyao quickly poured all the remaining liquid down his throat, then slammed the empty glass down on the edge of the table. "Miss Mi has had enough to drink. Now is a good time to get her home safely."

However, at this moment, Mi Yan, who was slightly tipsy, still insisted on having a second drink. "Oh, no! I want to enjoy this wonderful atmosphere a little longer. Xiaoxiao, can you stay with us for a while longer? Please!"

I glanced at the time displayed on my watch and found that it was actually quite early.

Despite this, when he caught a glimpse of the extremely serious attitude of the man next to him, he decisively stopped Mi Yan from continuing to drink.

"Forget it, forget it, baby. We should leave here now so you can go home and rest. That's the best thing to do."

She said these words gently but firmly and pulled Mi Yan towards the exit.

The driver was one of Lu Zhiyao's bodyguards.

The bodyguard was tall and wore a black suit, giving off a very reliable vibe.

He first drove Mi Yan back to the Mi family.

After watching Mi Yan safely enter her home, the car started again, carrying Yu Xiao and Lu Zhiyao back to Shengming Mansion.

The car was filled with a strong smell, a mixture of alcohol and perfume, which filled the car with a complex atmosphere.

Although Yu Xiao had drunk a lot of wine before, she was not drunk, just her cheeks were slightly red.

She lowered her head slightly, her eyes falling on the back of her hand, and asked in a nonchalant tone, "Why didn't Special Assistant Sun come?"

"He was called to the old house by Cui Yun."

Lu Zhiyao explained in a calm tone.

As he spoke, a faint, almost imperceptible scent of alcohol emanated from his body. This subtle aroma added a touch of gentleness to his temperament.

"What did you mean by that thing you just said?"

Yu Xiao subconsciously fiddled with her fingernails while looking out the car window with a wandering gaze.

The neon lights outside became blurred as the vehicles moved forward, giving people a sense of unreality.

"There's an auction next weekend, and I'd like you to be my date for the day."

Hearing this, Yu Xiao raised his eyebrows, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, "Auction?"

This word instantly evoked countless luxurious and lively images in her mind, making her curious.

He further explained, "This is an event hosted by our Lu family, and all the famous people in Kyoto will be there. However, I am currently lacking a suitable female companion to accompany me to such an important occasion."

"There are so many rich ladies in Kyoto, why did you choose me? My reputation..."

After saying this, her eyes couldn't help but drop down, hiding the subtle ups and downs of emotions deep in her heart.

Because of Shen Yu's incident, for a long time, her life had been as embarrassing as the topic of conversation among others after dinner.

Now she actually had the opportunity to be one of the guests at a dinner party at a wealthy family like the Lu family, which was beyond her imagination.

"Reputation is simply a definition imposed on an individual by the outside world; it's not a true measure of one's worth. But I'm someone who doesn't want to be influenced by what others say."

Lu Zhiyao decisively interrupted the other party and said to the woman in front of him with a firm look.

"What's more important to me is the good and bad qualities of the person themselves. As for the standards, I set them myself and make the final judgment."

After hearing these words, Yu Xiao chuckled, "It seems that Master Lu really has his own unique set of rules for making friends! But apart from Mr. Sun Hong, it seems that you don't have many close friends around you."

This sentence was a bit teasing, but Lu Zhiyao didn't seem to mind at all. "Actually, I have quite a lot of friends in the circle. If there is a chance in the future, I can also take you to meet them one by one."

Hearing this, Yu Xiao quickly waved his hand to refuse, "No, no, I was just joking."

"So, what do you think about participating in the auction?"

Just as the woman was about to refuse, she met the serious and expectant gaze of the man in front of her.

Seeing this scene, the words of rejection that were about to come out of his mouth were finally taken back.

After a slight hesitation, she responded, "For me, being Mr. Lu's partner that day is undoubtedly a matter of pride and honor."

In fact, Lu Zhiyao had never brought other female friends to any public event in the past, let alone the opportunity for him to be willing to let them appear in public.

Then, Lu Zhiyao took out a cigarette from his coat pocket and handed it to him, asking, "Do you need a cigarette to relax?"

Yu Xiao shook her head slightly and politely declined his suggestion. "Although I don't have any particular aversion to smoking or drinking, to be honest, I really don't like the unique smell of tobacco."

Lu Zhiyao stretched out his slender fingers and skillfully pressed the metal lighter button. A faint flame jumped out and lit the cigarette in his hand.

Then he slowly approached the lit part and took a deep breath, then gently exhaled a puff of smoke, forming several perfect circular trajectories in the air.

The light white smoke swirled around his chin, vaguely obscuring his angular and handsome face.

In the intervals between these actions, people can also notice that the elegant watch worn on his wrist is emitting a faint, flickering luster, which invisibly adds a bit of mature masculine charm.

Then Lu Zhiyao lowered the car window, trying to let the smell of tobacco that had accumulated in the car for a long time dissipate a little with the wind.

Yu Xiao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, took the opportunity to steal a glance at the man who was smoking.

It must be said that he seemed particularly charming in such an atmosphere, so much so that she couldn't help but fall into a brief trance.

At this moment, even the smell of cigarettes still lingered in my nose, and layers of indescribable emotions inevitably rippled in my heart.

The next day, Yu Xiao went to the Mo family and Lu Mansion as agreed to continue performing her duties as a doctor.

In the afternoon, according to the plan, she will go to the Hangyue Shopping Plaza in the city with her good friend Mi Yan to buy dresses, in order to make full preparations for the important charity auction party that is about to open.

When they first met, Mi Yan asked with a look of surprise, "Oh, so you are talking about the famous fundraising auction of the Lu family.
