A little local dog that is only three months old has little killing power.

Moreover, Xu Jiayu came today to invite Lu Wensheng to attend Old Madam Xu's birthday, so she would naturally not be stupid enough to offend her dog.

Therefore, he just let the stars provoke him without dodging or stopping.

Lu Wensheng frowned, and before Xingxing could bite Xu Jiayu, he squatted down, reached out and held Xingxing in his arms, comforting her gently.

Xingxing stayed in Lu Wensheng's arms, still yelling fiercely at Xu Jiayu.

When Xu Jiayu saw Lu Wensheng's frown, she suddenly realized something.

The reason she tried to stop it was not because she was afraid that the dog would bite someone, but because she was afraid that he would dirty her dog...

This thought made Xu Jiayu's face suddenly darken.

It took Lu Wensheng a long time to comfort Xingxing before it calmed down again, but it still bent its little body and stood in front of Lu Wensheng, not allowing Xu Jiayu to get close to its little master.

Lu Wensheng stood up slowly, his long eyelashes casting a shadow on his porcelain-white cheeks. He spoke calmly, "Master Xu, although respecting the elderly and loving the young is a traditional virtue in Country H, I don't think there's anything respectable about elders who can raise people like you and Xu Jiaying."

Xu Jiayu looked at Lu Wensheng's calm face.

Unlike the gentleness and patience she showed with the dog, Lu Wensheng's emotions were like a pool of stagnant water when facing him. It seemed that no matter what he said or did to her, it could not cause a ripple in her heart.

Xu Jiayu's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes subconsciously glanced at the little black dog on the ground.

Xu Jiayu knew why Lu Wensheng was so nice to the dog.

The dog saved her—

During the most difficult and darkest time in Lu Wensheng's life.

Lu Wensheng was clearly a human, but the one who saved her was a dog...

As this thought flashed through his mind, Xu Jiayu felt a strange touch in his heart, and finally lowered his stance, "Lu Wensheng... There must be a solution to the matter between the Xu family and you."

"Jiaying and my mother hurt you, but they have been punished."

"The Xu family is willing to pay any price, just asking you to... let them go!"

Lu Wensheng raised his eyes to look at her, his gaze calm, "What is the punishment that Master Xu mentioned?"

"Xu Jiaying has been feigning illness and staying in the hospital, harming and abusing innocent people, yet she has not been imprisoned and punished so far?"

"Even though Madam Xu has been detained, she still enjoys good food and drink, is flattered and served. Besides her lack of freedom, she still lives a life of luxury."

Xu Jiayu pursed her lips, her lips pale, and said, "Lu Wensheng, I know you are mentally unbalanced."

“But some things are innate.”

"There is never absolute fairness and justice in this world."

"You are now..." Xu Jiayu looked at her, a hint of complexity in her eyes, "Your status and position are different from before. There are some things you should understand."

In this world, the most important thing is always profit!

The upper class essentially exploits and tramples on the lower class.

Only the upper class are qualified to form a group.

This was the main reason why the Xu family invited her to attend Old Lady Xu's banquet.

Because Lu Wensheng was now a world-renowned mathematical genius, because she held two medals of honor awarded personally by the nation, and because she had been appointed the next head of the Lu family...

Because as long as she doesn't die, her future is destined to go very high and far.

Because she has absolutely powerful value and background.

So the Xu family changed their strategy.

From despising her, suppressing her, getting rid of her...it became a justified desire to win her over.

They even told her openly that this was the world's—

Rules of the game!

After listening to this, Lu Wensheng's expression remained unchanged. He stared at Xu Jiayu with his dark eyes, "And then?"

Xu Jiayu was stunned.

He had expected that when Lu Wensheng heard these words, he might be happy, or sneer in anger, or even scoff...but he shouldn't be so calm.

Those clear eyes looked at him calmly, waiting for him to tell them how these things related to her agreement to attend Mrs. Xu's birthday party.

Based on Lu Wensheng's talent and ability, she definitely understands these things.

She just—

Just don’t care!

Xu Jiayu's eyes were filled with a thin layer of ice, and her tone was icy, "Lu Wensheng, since you want the position of heir to the Lu family, don't you want to plan for the future of the Lu family?"

Lu Wensheng's long eyelashes trembled, his expression was cold, and his tone was very calm, "That was what Youyou wanted. The purpose was to take revenge on Lu Erya."

The implication is:

She doesn't care about the future development of the Lu family at all.

The reason why he wanted the position of heir to the Lu family was purely to make Lu Erya's life difficult.

Even if the Xu family really bankrupted the Lu family, Lu Wensheng probably wouldn't even bat an eyelid.

Xu Jiayu recalled the last banquet when Lu Youyou said in person that she only wanted the Lu family's property and didn't care about the life or death of other members of the Lu family.

Xu Jiayu's expression turned a little ugly.

The scariest people are those who don't care about anything.

This is Lu Wensheng’s current state.

She doesn't care about anyone.

She didn't care whether the Lu family lived or died.

The Xu family could have threatened her with her safety and her future, but now, Lu Wensheng is a national treasure-level genius, and she is protected by people from the procuratorate. Although the Xu family is powerful and bold, they dare not openly challenge the majesty of the procuratorate at this juncture.

Xu Jiayu looked at Lu Wensheng, the darkness in her eyes thickening. "Lu Wensheng, the Xu family's banquet...someone from my grandfather's family will also be coming."

"She really wants to meet you, the Ning family's young master's...younger generation."

The Xu family said this simply to use the Yu family to put pressure on Lu Wensheng. He didn't have much hope that Lu Wensheng would agree.

After all, Lu Wensheng is not someone who fears power.

Unexpectedly, when Lu Wensheng heard this, his eyes moved slightly and he looked up, "Are you from the Yu family in the capital?"

Xu Jiayu met her gaze and was startled for a moment, "Yes."

Lu Wensheng bent down and picked up Xingxing, said "I'll go", and turned to walk into the villa.

Xu Jiayu looked at Lu Wensheng's back and slowly frowned.

Apart from the fact that her mother was a daughter of the Yu family and had persecuted her, Lu Wensheng had no connection with the Yu family.

Why did she suddenly agree to attend this banquet just because someone from the Yu family was present?

Xu Jiayu thought of the temperament of the young lady from the Yu family...his eyes suddenly became very deep.

She was a famous lady from the capital, born into a noble family, and possessed both talent and beauty. No matter what she was, she was not comparable to Lu Wensheng, who had been living in an orphanage since childhood.

Lu Wensheng took the initiative to provoke the other party... What did she want to do?

And why did the young lady from the Yu family, given her status and position, abnormally ask to meet Lu Wensheng?
