Lu Anran took out a tissue to wipe her face. She then closed her eyes, inhaling and exhaling heavily. Today, she obviously sought him out to settle the accounts. Why was it the other way around now?

The thing about their marriage being a sham, was it really the case?

Suddenly, a woman’s voice was heard from one of the cubicles. “Dad, did you find the person?”

Lu Anran frowned. She knew that voice.

Didn’t Zhu Lanyi already leave? Why was she still here? She moved a bit closer to the cubicle.

“Those people under you are useless! Dad, you must find a way to get Lu Anran out of Mu City as soon as possible, as well as the half-dead old man. I will also inform the mother and daughter of the Lu family, and push them to find a way to get rid of Anran and her father. They have gained so many benefits from me, so it’s time for payback.”

Lu Anran narrowed her eyes. Mother and daughter of the Lu family?

Did Anna also have ties with Zhu Lanyi?

And who was the ‘half-dead old man’ she was referring to? Dad?

The woman went on, “How can I not be anxious? We have only a few months left before the contract ends. Gu Liangchen has damaging evidence against us and is already brazenly getting back together with the b*tch. Today, he forced me to tell the b*tch about the agreement and even kiss her in front of my face… How can I bear it? Dad, since you helped me snatch him back then, then you can definitely help me keep him now. It doesn’t matter whether he loves me or not. If I won’t have him, no one can.”

Lu Anran stopped eavesdropping. She walked out of the restroom quickly.

Zhu Lanyi’s words were too much for her to process at the moment.

It scared her when she thought of Zhu Lanyi wanting to murder her father.

‘My father had been in a coma for several years. Why does Zhu Lanyi want him dead?’

There was also Lu Anna and her mother. What did they get from Zhu Lanyi that they were willing to become accomplices?

Meanwhile, Gu Liangchen was patiently waiting at the restroom’s entrance. Seeing the expression on Lu Anran’s face, he didn’t say a word and followed her.

Trying to keep up with her, Gu Liangchen reached out to grab her arm and said, “Why are you walking so fast? What’s the matter?”

Suddenly remembering the words he said a few days ago, Lu Anran stopped and looked at him.

[You can’t judge a book by its cover. Some people appeared to be good people, but they are full of dirty tricks in their hearts.]

Before, her mind was preoccupied with taking care of her father, but after thinking about it carefully now, she realized that the time it took for Lu Anna to rise to fame was rather unusual.

The competition in the entertainment industry was cutthroat, and some people never gained fame even until their death.

But after the fall of the Lu family, Anna suddenly rose from an unknown wannabe to a popular actress.

If her stepsister had help from Zhu Lanyi, then what kind of deal would they agree on?

Was the bombing also related to them…

It was scary to think about.

She almost blurted out, “Did you know it a long time ago?”

Did he know about Lu Anna and her mother working with Zhu Lanyi behind her back?

Gu Liangchen was taken aback by her question. He wasn’t sure what she was referring to. “Know what?”

At this time, the two of them reached the door of the private room and saw the waiter open the door for them. Lu Anran realized that this wasn’t a place to talk, so she faked a smile and replied, “Know that I like this restaurant.”

Gu Liangchen was pleased. “You’re going to eat now?”

“Yes, I’m hungry.”

“Okay.” He immediately turned his head and instructed the waiter, “Serve the other dishes.”

They entered the private room. Lu Anran sat across from the man, poured herself a cup of tea, and took sips while glancing at the door.

It didn’t take long before a lady in a blue dress appeared by the door.
