After Xiao Yun said this, Shen Lan immediately took two steps back with a vigilant look in his eyes.

"Mr. Xiao, please stop joking. With your looks and status, you can have any woman you want. Why are you making fun of me? Besides, this is a matter between Lu Yunfan and me. Please don't interfere."

The location where the two of them were was relatively secluded, but Xiao Yun was the focus of the crowd wherever he went, and Shen Lan didn't want to stand with him and attract attention.

She glanced at the slap mark on Xiao Yun's left cheek and whispered, "You'd better cover the mark on your face. Otherwise, if others see it, who knows what rumors will spread."

After Shen Lan finished speaking, he turned around and ran away. This evasive attitude made Xiao Yun's face darken.

"Liu Lin, am I that bad?"

Liu Lin stood behind him and said silently, "Your reputation outside is really bad."

Xiao Yun suffers from irregular headaches, has a violent temper, is heartless and ruthless, and is known in J City as someone who is not easy to mess with.

If a tyrant suddenly shows goodwill, everyone would think he has bad intentions. No wonder Miss Shen is so scared.

Liu Lin took out a compact from his pocket and handed it over: "Mr. Xiao, do you want to cover the slap marks on your face?"

Xiao Yun glanced at the small box in his hand with a strange look in his eyes: "You still carry this thing with you?"

"This is a gift I'm going to give to my girlfriend."

Liu Lin looked so happy and silly with an expression that said, "You are single, you don't understand." Xiao Yun was furious when he saw it.

Liu Lin stopped when he saw that things were going well, and handed the powder compact forward again: "Mr. Xiao, Miss Shen has a hard time in the Lu family, you don't want to cause her trouble, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun sneered, his eyes glaring: "Am I the kind of person who is kind-hearted and considerate of others?"

Liu Lin paused. That wasn't really the case. It was good enough that this ancestor didn't cause trouble.

He was about to put the powder back when a large, bony hand suddenly appeared in front of him: "Give it to me."

Liu Lin smiled and quickly handed over the powder compact.

Xiao Yun casually covered the marks on her face, threw the powder puff to him, took out her cell phone and transferred some money to Liu Lin.

Liu Lin looked at the string of zeros, his face beaming with joy. "I told you those rumors were wrong. Mr. Xiao is obviously kind and generous. I don't know who spread those lies."

"Shut up." Xiao Yun's ears turned slightly red, and he pursed his lips as he looked at Shen Lan's back.

Just now, Lu Yunfan's few words made her cry with red eyes. If the marks on his face affected her, who knows how much she would cry.

She was ugly enough as she was, and she would be uglier still when she cried.

"Brother Xiao Yun."

A cheerful voice came, and Xiao Yun frowned unconsciously, feeling that the tone was sharp and piercing.

He turned his head and saw Lu Yunqing running towards him with her skirt lifted up. She had fair skin and a pink skirt, and looked innocent and naive.

Xiao Yun couldn't help but think of Shen Lan in his mind. She was the same age as him, but she lived cautiously, like a rotten piece of wood with holes all over it, exuding loneliness and sadness.

The difference between biological children and foster children is so huge.

Xiao Yun's eyebrows were sharp and cold, and his gaze was sharp: "When did Miss Lu change her last name? Why don't I remember that I have a sister like you?"

Lu Yunqing's smile froze, and he awkwardly changed his address: "Xiao, Mr. Xiao."

She smells so sweet that it gives people a headache.

Xiao Yun nodded perfunctorily and took Liu Lin away without giving her any chance to get close to him. His disgust was evident in his words.

Lu Yunqing stamped his feet in anger, turned to Tao Lan and said, "Mom, didn't you say he drank that glass of wine?"

Tao Lan herself was puzzled: "I saw him drink it with my own eyes, this shouldn't be the case."

The drug was very strong, and even a tiny bit could make a person burn with desire. Xiao Yun's condition was definitely not right.

"Don't worry, Mom will think of a way..."

Lu Yunqing looked at Xiao Yun's back, her face full of obsession: "Mom, I have decided on Xiao Yun in this life. If I can't marry him, I would rather not marry anyone in my life!"

Tao Lan rubbed her temples in distress. There were many people in J City who wanted to marry Xiao Yun, but everyone knew that he was notoriously difficult to deal with, not interested in women, and had a violent temper and was moody.

This plan failed, and Xiao Yun has taken precautions. Who knows when the next opportunity will come.

"Dear guests..."

Mr. Lu's voice spread throughout the banquet hall through the microphone.

Tao Lan didn't care about Xiao Yun and quickly pulled her daughter over.

Lu Yunfan also held Shen Lan's arm, creating the illusion of affection between the two to outsiders.

"Let me go!" Shen Lan shouted softly, shaking off his hand. She felt sick to her stomach when she thought of Lu Yunfan's hands just wandering over Zhou Xinran's body.

When Lu Yunfan saw her push him away, he felt angry. This feeling was the same as when she asked him to cancel the engagement just now. He felt extremely annoyed.

"Do you think I want to touch you? My dad is going to announce our engagement. You should know what to say and what not to say later."

Shen Lan frowned. The more she looked forward to this marriage before, the more she rejected it now.

But she had no choice.

Forget it. Lu Yunfan had no intention of marrying her anyway, so just treat it as a dog bite.

Shen Lan waited numbly for Lu's father to announce the engagement.

"Today's banquet is held to announce two happy events. First, Yunfan has recovered and will soon take over the Lu family. My son is a newcomer, so I hope everyone will take good care of him. Second, during Yunfan's illness, thanks to Shen Lan's meticulous care, although the Shen family has declined, this marriage we..."

"Boss Xiao, Boss Xiao, what's wrong with you?"

An anxious voice suddenly interrupted Father Lu's words. After the guests saw what was going on, they were immediately in an uproar.

Xiao Yun fell to the ground with a pale face, holding his stomach, frowning, and looking very painful.
