Chapter 250 - Who is Mrs. Lu?

Despite Andrea's approach towards Megan, she remained persistent in her goal. Her knowledge of Lu Fang's wife suggested that she was a better fit to be Mrs. Lu. Moreover, she now confirmed that Andrea was on to her and she would not back down without a fight. 

She kept probing about Andrea's background and after learning that Andrea came not from a prominent family in China, she blurted out saying, "I finally understood why Mr. Lu did not marry you in public. His parents probably did not approve."

Megan shook her head as she said those words and it did not stop there. She displayed a concerned  face before adding, "It must be hard playing the part of Mrs. Lu especially if your in-laws do not approve of you."

Andrea knew it would irk her husband that she held his hand down and squeezed it, reminding him she had her own plans. Lu Fang's role was merely to follow her lead. She realized Megan was showing her true colors. 

Turning to Megan, Andrea composed herself before responding, "We've scheduled the wedding before. Only that unforeseen circumstance came our way." As she said this, she also glanced at Mr. Zemin and a few of his colleagues who were listening in to their conversation. 

"Well, you know what they say… If it's not important to you, you will find excuses. Right, Mr. Lu?" Megan said while reaching for a cup of tea.

Lu Fang was ready to smash his fist against the woman's face, but Andrea kept holding his hand down. She glared at him a few times to keep him seated. Even Go Bolin wanted to respond in the couple's defense, but he was hinted to keep calm. 

Mr. Zemin and his partners noticed how Andrea kept the two men in control. It gave them a positive opinion of her. If it were any other woman, Megan would have already received a slap on the face. They assumed Andrea was being patient with her. 

"Megan, you have no idea how hard it has been for us… and to be a Mrs. Lu? It's one of the toughest job in the world - "

"Really now? I imagined you are blessed with all the luxuries in life? How hard could that be?" Megan cut her off questing her statement. 

Andrea laughed at how sarcastic Megan had become. She thought, 'This will be fun and at least… I won't feel guilty… not one bit.'

"Why don't you ride with us on the way back to the hotel, Megan. I'd be happy to show you what it's like to be Mrs. Lu, little by little," Andrea offered while smiling. 

Thrilled at the offer, she agreed instantly, "I'd be happy to."

One of Lu Fang's security drove Megan's assistant while her boss joined the couple in their car. Bolin sat in the front with the other bodyguard, driving. In the back seat, Megan sat next to Andrea followed by Lu Fang.

"Megan, I'm sure you have heard about stories pertaining to the Lus," Andrea probed. 

She thought about it and replied, "About the underground organization? I know it's just a bluff - "

"No. It's not a bluff," Lu Fang cut her off. "The dangers of being a Lu exist."

Andrea turned to one side, facing Megan and unbuttoned her shirt, just enough so she could pull it down to her shoulders. She turned on the lights inside the car before pointing out to the gunshot wound just a little above her chest. "You see this? This happened three months ago."

She quickly put her shirt back in place before adding, "There is another one in my thigh but it's too inconvenient to show you. This was part of the reason our recent wedding plans did not push through."

"So, you see, Megan. Being a Mrs. Lu isn't that simple. Since I've been with Lu Fang, I could not keep count of the number of bullets that were shot in my direction, the number of times I have been nearly abducted, the number of sleepless nights just merely looking over my shoulder," said Andrea, perfectly exaggerating her experience. 

"Me and my husband? Our lives are constantly in danger." 

Andrea observed as Megan began to move to the side-most part of the car, far away from her. She smiled at her and lifted her skirt before saying, "Check this out. We always carry weapons with us."

She took out the army knife which she had wrapped around her right thigh and held it up in front of Megan. Then slowly, she waved it at her saying, "Being a Mrs. Lu, you need to be proficient in handling a knife… and a gun!"

She quickly reached out to her pistol from the other thigh and held it up. She slowly put back the knife before going back to the gun. She gripped on the piece firmly and pointed it directly to Megan's frightened face. 

Lu Fang leaned towards his wife and kissed her on the cheek. He said, "That's my wife." He then turned his gaze to Megan and asked, "Do you know how to handle a gun?"

Megan only shook her head as her entire body pressed against the side of the car, trembling. She looked at Bolin and the other bodyguard, but they simply glanced at them like they were having an offhand conversation. Her insides were screaming, 'Shit! This bitch is crazy!'

The man helped Andrea with the position of the gun then turned off its safety before saying, "Remember, babe. You have to turn off the safety for you to use it."

While Megan was fearing for her life, the car went into an abrupt stop. 

BANG! BANG! They could tell the bullets had hit the car wheels. 

Andrea let out a heavy sigh as she placed her hand to her chest, while still holding the gun. She said, "Here we go again."

It was already late in the evening and they had taken a different route on the way back to the hotel. A group of men suddenly surrounded their car, and they started to bang on the windows. They could hear one man shouting, "Who is Mrs. Lu? Come with us immediately!"

Shaking her head, Andrea complained, "It's always me! Of course, if they take Lu Fang, who will pay the ransom right?"

The couple both looked at their surroundings before showing signs of giving up. The man said, "It looks like we are surrounded." He pulled Andrea to face him before adding, "I guess my wife will have to do the ultimate sacrifice."

Andrea nodded, then she slowly turned to face the door, right next to Megan. She opened it and saw a man with a bonnet covering his face. He was pointing a gun right at them. 

"Who is Mrs. Lu?" The man asked again. 

"She is. She is Mrs. Lu," Andrea said while pushing Megan outside the door. 

Megan's eyes grew wide and her mouth fell open. She screamed at Andrea saying, "What are you saying! I am not Lu Fang's wife! You liar!"

Andrea narrowed her eyes at her before firmly gripping onto her wrist. She reminded her, "that was not what you said to me in the morning. Do you remember?"

"No! No! I did not mean to! I swear!" She quickly turned to the man who was waiting for her to step out of the car and asserted, "I am not Lu Fang's wife! I will never be and I never want to be!"
