So, facing Yu Anwan’s words, Lu Nanxin wanted to deny it. However, her lack of shame prevented her from being as bold as Yu Anwan in public.

On the other hand, Yu Anwan had lost all interest in lingering.

Without any expression, Yu Anwan smoothly withdrew her hand from Wen Jin’s grasp. “President Wen, it would be more appropriate for you to hold Miss

Lu’s hand.”

At that instant, Wen Jin’s grip tightened, and Yu Anwan glanced at him before exerting a slight force, easily freeing her delicate hand from his hold.

She didn’t bother looking at Wen Jin any longer as if even a single glance at him was bothersome.

“I’ll take my leave now.” Yu Anwan courteously bid farewell to Zhou Shen, avoiding any unnecessary conflict over such a trivial matter.

Even though Zhou Shen could not become close friends, he could still be a friend.

At the very least, Zhou Shen wouldn’t do something despicable when he couldn’t get what he wanted.

Zhou Shen also felt that he was at fault and wanted to see Yu Anwan off, but before he could do anything, Zhou Yangheng’s bodyguard promptly intervened. “Young Master, President Zhou wants you to return!”

Zhou Shen attempted to resist, but the bodyguard effortlessly guided him to a quieter spot, denying him any opportunity for resistance.

Yu Anwan smiled.

However, she was well aware that pursuing assistance from the Zhou family was futile.

Such shameless begging was beyond Yu Anwan’s character.

Swiftly, Yu Anwan headed towards the exit of the banquet venue.

After Yu Anwan left, Wen Jin’s eyes were still fixed on the direction where Yu Anwan had left without blinking.

Lu Nanxin naturally noticed it as well. It would be a lie to say that she was not nervous. Her hands were tightly wrapped around Wen Jin’s arm, and her voice was aggrieved and gentle. “Jin, let’s go as well!”

Wen Jin merely glanced at Lu Nanxin, his tone tinged with indifference. “It’s late. Let’s leave.”

It seemed like Wen Jin had no intention of staying after Yu Anwan left.

However, Wen Jin’s original purpose in attending the Zhou family’s banquet was Yu Anwan. Otherwise, Wen Jin would not have cared about the Zhou family.

AS soon as ne nmsnea speaking, wen Jin walKea towaras tne aoor witnout turning back.

Lu Nanxin was taken aback. She hadn’t intended to leave, but the current situation caught her off guard.

In response, Lu Nanxin immediately followed Wen Jin’s footsteps. Even though she was reluctant, she wouldn’t allow Wen Jin a chance to be with Yu Anwan. Her hatred towards Yu Anwan grew more intense.

However, there was only one thought in Lu Nanxin’s mind. She and Wen Jin would get married when they returned to Jiang City. As long as they got married, it would be justified for her to attack Yu Anwan.

After all, no woman would tolerate a mistress scheming beside her husband!

With this mindset, Lu Nanxin promptly clung to Wen Jin once again.

“You go back first,” Wen Jin said, lowering his head to look at Lu Nanxin. His tone was gentle.

“But Jin, aren’t you going back too?” Lu Nanxin furrowed her brows.

Her tone also revealed nervousness, afraid that Wen Jin would turn around and look for Yu Anwan again.

Wen Jin smiled and lowered his head as if he was coaxing Lu Nanxin. “I saw your uncle and auntie, or do you want to go with me?”

This time, Lu Nanxin remained silent.

Lu Nanxin was from the Lu family in the capital. The Lu family was the top wealthy family in the capital and stood at the top of the pyramid.

However, the Lu family had never openly acknowledged Lu Nanxin as the daughter of the third son, Lu Chongming.

Lu Nanxin wasn’t born of a legitimate wife. She was Lu Chongming’s illegitimate daughter. To some extent, her status was kept hidden. As a result, Lu Nanxin adopted the surname of Han Huiru, not using the Lu family name.

While the Lu family didn’t disregard Lu Nanxin, she was sensitive and subconsciously avoided getting too close to them.

Over the years, Lu Nanxin’s relationship with the Lu family had been quite distant.

“I’ll head back first. Once you’re done talking with my uncle and auntie, come back early,” Lu Nanxin finally spoke after a long pause.

“Alright, I’ll have the driver take you back.” Wen Jin agreed.

With that, Wen Jin wrapped his arm around Lu Nanxin’s waist and planted a kiss on her forehead. This sudden display of intimacy seemed to soothe Lu Nanxin.

“Be good and wait for me,” Wen Jin coaxed.

“Alright.” Lu Nanxin nodded obediently.

Wen Jin quickly released his hold on Lu Nanxin. Lu Nanxin looked at her now free hand with a hint of disappointment. However, in the end, she didn’t say anything and reluctantly entered the car.

As the car door closed, it smoothly drove towards the Wen family’s villa in the capital.

However, Wen Jin didn’t wait for the car to leave. He walked forward without looking back.

But Wen Jin was well aware that his purpose for being here wasn’t truly about the Lu family. He was here for Yu Anwan.

The moment he turned around, his expression turned enigmatic.

At the same time, Yu Anwan had already exited the banquet hall. Just as she was about to hail a taxi, an uncertain voice came from behind her. “Hello, do you still remember us?”

Yu Anwan paused for a moment and instinctively turned around. She saw Xu Wan standing before her in a cheongsam, and Yu Anwan immediately recognized her.

It was an accident that she had dealt with at the airport in Jiang City.

She hadn’t expected to encounter them here again.

She smiled. “Hello, I remember. We met at the Jiang City Airport.”

Xu Wan nodded. “Yes, at that time, things were quite chaotic. I didn’t even have a chance to ask your name!”

“Yu Anwan.” Yu Anwan smiled, not keeping her identity a secret.

“Yu Anwan,” Xu Wan repeated her name. “It sounds lovely, Anwan.” She quite liked it. “By the way, we didn’t introduce ourselves last time. I’m Xu Wan, and this is my husband, Lu Chongguang. Thanks to your help at the airport, otherwise, the consequences could have been unimaginable.”

“When we arrived at the hospital, the doctors were extremely anxious and kept praising you for your quick response,” she continued. “It even allowed Lu Chongguang to narrowly escape death. After spending a day resting in the hospital, we returned to the capital the next day.”

The people from the Lu family were also highly concerned.

They held deep gratitude towards their lifesaver, Yu Anwan. Unfortunately, she hadn’t left her name, making it difficult to find her.

The Lu family had even considered checking the airport’s surveillance cameras.

In the end, she did not expect to meet Yu Anwan at a hotel. This was fate.

“Hello, Auntie and Uncle,” Yu Anwan greeted with a smile and a nod. “It was nothing. Just a small effort.”

However, Yu Anwan was also somewhat surprised that the person she had spontaneously helped turned out to be from the Lu family in the capital. The Lu family might keep a low profile, but they were not to be underestimated. If the Lu family were to make a move, it could send shockwaves throughout the entire business community..
