404 You Actually Slapped Me (1/2)

”Master Yan, An'an still has a chance to get out of this. Since she hasn't dwelled too deep into her infatuation, you should be a little harsher and push her away. She's still young, she can't afford to spend all her time and effort on you. If things continue like that, she'll be ruined by you!”

Lu Yan handsome face was impassive, not showing the slightest hint of angry. He nodded.

”Alright.”

Stretching out his long legs, he left.

Lu Yan left.

He agreed to it.

Huo Yanmei heaved a sigh of relief. As a mother, she could not accept the fact that her daughter was together with a man like Lu Yan.

On the surface, Lu Yan looked very prim and proper. However, his career was very risky. He did not come from a wealthy background and did not receive much education. He was already 35. In a few years time he would be in his 40s. As he was a playboy during his younger days, he already had a frivolous reputation, and men like him were never sincere.

How could she hand her daughter over to such a man?

At this moment, heavy footsteps could be heard. Huo Yanmei looked up and was shocked to see Lu Jinwen.

Huo Yanmei immediately straightened up as she was wary of this man.

Lu Jinwen was clad in black from head to toe, sporting a black shirt and black trousers. This cold-blooded man was extremely suited for such a dull colour. He was still as handsome as ever and his perfectly deep facial features remained youthful and mostly untouched by the ravages of time, with the only addition of some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. Heaven was extremely gracious towards this man as the fine wrinkles encapsulated the experience and the passing of time this man had experienced. He looked extremely charming despite being in his 50s.

With his hands shoved into his trouser pocket, Lu Jinwen cast a deep gaze onto Huo Yanmei. He mocked in a sarcastic tone, ”Why are you bullying Ah Yan?”

Huo Yanmei straightened her body, in hopes to challenge the man's powerful aura. She stared daggers at him. ”Your Ah Yan has humiliated my daughter, my daughter is only 18 years old. He's just an old man preying on younger girls!”

”Ah.” Lu Jinwen chuckled. ”If Ah Yan wanted to prey on young girls, your daughter won't even get a chance to be preyed on.”

Hearing his dismissive words, Huo Yanmei got extremely angry. ”Because of your Ah Yan, my daughter is still lying in the ICU! To think you'd still be here making snide comments!”

”Madam Gu, you're not stupid. Stop treating everyone as a fool. Your daughter saved Ah Yan only because Ah Yan was worthy of being saved. All these years, where have you been? Only Ah Yan has truly doted on your daughter as if she was a treasure.”

”You!”

Lu Jinwen gave Huo Yanmei a cold look and left.

…

Back at the corridor, Lu Yan did not sit down but had both his hands shoved into his trouser pockets. He leaned against the wall and appeared to be extremely indifferent.

As always, he was cold and filled with apathy. When he was young, he strived hard for power, but as the years went by, he had only become more uncaring.

Of course, apart from that time in the old factory when he had hugged the girl, he had almost gone crazy.

However, he was especially cold today. Faced with Huo Yanmei's accusations, he didn't even say a word. No one could see through what was going through his mind.

Lu Jinwen's gaze darkened. No one could be harsher on Ah Yan than Ah Yan himself. However, Ah Yan's weakness was not being able to toy with others' emotions.

At the age of 35, he had not been in a relationship before. As such, he did not know what to expect.

There needed to be tried and tested methods in a relationship before their young love would learn from the process and work out eventually. However, he did not have much time anymore.

”Uncle Jin.” Lu Yan looked at Lu Jinwen.
