Chapter 188 She's no longer afraid

Jiang Mian was stunned, looking at the flamboyant supercar with its engine roaring with a pleasant sound.

The car stopped right in front of her, and then, instead of the windows rolling down, the entire roof began to deform, fold, and retract...

Until it was fully opened, revealing the handsome profile of the man in the driver's seat.

He had a very flamboyant appearance, and his hair, which he always kept very neat, was now combed back.

A few strands of hair slipped unruly from his ears, highlighting his unruly and rebellious nature.

A black silk shirt, three buttons undone, revealing a small patch of chest.

And that chest...

There were even traces left by ginger.

"What are you standing there for? I'm not here to see Gong Yan. Get in the car." Lu Bozhou glanced at her sideways.

For some reason, Jiang Mian felt that there was a hint of evil in his voice.

It was also because of this touch of evil that his entire demeanor appeared unruly and arrogant.

This is completely different from the indifference and detachment of the past.

Seeing that Jiang Mian didn't move for a moment, Lu Bozhou clicked his tongue, got out of the car, walked around the front of the car to her side, opened the car door, and put her in the passenger seat.

He then returned to the driver's seat and got in.

The car engine roared to life and sped off.

Gong Yan stood by the window of the law firm, looking down at the convertible supercars speeding away on the road below.

Her eyes were somewhat somber.

It seems Lu Bozhou is no longer hiding his true colors. Only a fool like Jiang Mian would sympathize with someone like him.

Jiang Mian only realized what was happening after the car had driven quite a distance from Gong Yan's law firm.

"Oh no! I haven't gotten my desserts yet; they're all in the driver's car!"

The man neither slowed down nor stopped; his speed didn't even change in the slightest.

He merely glanced at her sideways and said, "It's such a small thing, why are you making such a fuss? Let the driver wait over there."

Hearing this, Jiang Mian finally felt relieved.

However, they soon heard Lu Bozhou's next words.

Actually, ever since Jiang Mian saw his car, she had been wondering when he would ask this question.

But he never asked until now.

Lu Bozhou raised his sharp eyebrows slightly. "But why are you and Gong Yan so familiar with each other?"

Jiang Mian was silent for a few seconds, "I... I asked her to look at the prenuptial agreement for me before."

“Gong Yan’s consultation fees start at four figures.” Lu Bozhou glanced at her again. “I didn’t realize you were so willing to spend money.”

"She gave me a free consultation, probably for the same reason you did." Jiang Mian felt completely calm now, probably because she was so used to having so many lice that she didn't feel any itch.

She was probably a little nervous when she was being questioned by Jiang Yu.

She wasn't too nervous when Lu Bozhou said that.

Jiang Mian even turned to look at Lu Bozhou, saying, "Because I look a lot like Jiang Mian, it's easy for people to transfer their affections to me and treat me as a substitute. I guess I've benefited from this and gotten a lot of attention."

After Jiang Mian said this, the man glanced at her but didn't ask any more questions.

Jiang Mian sat in the passenger seat, the wind blowing through her hair as the convertible sports car drove by.

She narrowed her eyes, watching the scenery rushing past the window.

Jiang Mian is no longer afraid of these questions.

They even deeply understand the principle of defeating magic with magic.

Before long, the sports car arrived at Jiang Mian's parents' house.

As expected, the driver was already waiting there, and Jiang Mian took the prepared dessert inside.

When Song Wan saw her come in, she immediately went to greet her.

"I made some food for you, including cookies and cakes," Jiang Mian said, handing the bag to Song Wan.

Although Song Wan didn't speak, she looked her up and down with concern.

Clearly, they had already heard about Lu Bolin's heinous acts and were worried that something might have happened to her.

Song Wan grabbed her hand and whispered urgently, "The Lu family is full of arrogant and bullying lunatics. You must never associate with them again, not even that Lu Bozhou..."

Before Song Wan could finish speaking, she saw Lu Bozhou walk in, and her voice stopped abruptly.

But Jiang Mian could guess what Song Wan wanted to say.

She smiled, her eyes crinkling. "I understand, don't worry about me."

The warmth in Song Wan's eyes gradually faded. She glanced coldly at Lu Bozhou before saying indifferently, "Who's worried about you? I just don't want Xiao Chi to be sad."

Jiang Mian knew her mother was tough on the outside but soft on the inside, so she nodded with a smile, "I understand, I understand."

She placed the dessert on the table.

Lu Chaochi walked in from the backyard, looking excited, with fine beads of sweat on his nose.

"Mianmian!" Then she saw Lu Bozhou, "Dad!"

Lu Chaochi looked Lu Bozhou up and down, "Dad, what are you doing today..."

The child's eyes lit up, "So handsome!"

Lu Bozhou didn't speak, but only raised his eyebrows slightly.

Jiang Mian wiped the sweat from his nose. "Why are you so sweaty?"

"Grandpa took me to dig in the ground," Lu Chaochi said, his face beaming with excitement.

Jiang Mian was taken aback. "Dig for what?"

Lu Chaochi, with his hands behind his back and a mysterious air about him, laughed upon hearing Jiang Mian's words.

Like presenting a treasure, he brought his hands, which had been behind his back, to Jiang Mian.

And it even made a "dang dang dang!" sound.

"Dig for earthworms!"

Lu Chaochi was holding a transparent box filled with countless tiny, fleshy worms of all shapes and sizes, which were pupating.

Jiang Mian's gaze hadn't even had a chance to fully meet those pupae.

Her eyes were already covered by a warm hand.

She could even smell the rich middle and base notes of the ebony perfume on his wrist.

"Huh?" Lu Chaochi was clearly puzzled by his father's action of covering Mianmian's eyes.

Lu Bozhou said calmly, "She's afraid of these flesh worms."

Jiang Mian was taken aback.

She was afraid.

But that was... something from a past life.

In her past life, she managed the garden of the mansion and had to manage the land herself.

There will indeed be all sorts of insects. Insects are one thing, but earthworms and those worm-like creatures are another.

She was indeed scared, and cried several times.

She called Lu Bozhou in tears, saying she had dug up an earthworm and was scared.

Lu Bozhou's voice on the phone was always cold; he was in a meeting, working, or handling various official business.

In short, he had neither the time nor the energy to deal with her.

Jiang Mian thought he had long forgotten, but she didn't expect him to still remember.

But that's all from a past life.

In this life, Jiang Mian comes from a rural area.

She was the daughter of a farmer.

She even helped her mother farm since she was a child, so how could she be afraid of earthworms?

Just then, Song Wan's voice rang out.

"But aren't you from the countryside, a farmer's daughter? Why are you afraid of earthworms? Why are you afraid of earthworms?"
