"I've seen the photo of the girl whom the son of the Lu family's likes and she looks like you very much. I've heard that the young master of the Lu family is cold and arrogant and he never sees any woman different from his ex-girlfriend. So I want her to come to see you tonight. You are from a well-known family. Although the Gu family declined, we have a lot of legacies. If you want to take advantage of it, you can still have a lot of fortune. And I won't say no either. " Laura felt proud when her fingers touched her daughter's cheek.
She inherits half of her genes. That's why she is so attractive.
'Mr. Lu? Is it Darren? Celia asked in surprise.
Seeing the unnatural expression on her daughter's face, Laura felt more pleased and said in a proud voice, "Yes. He is the eldest son of the Lu family, Darren Lu."
"But mom, Darren has a girlfriend!"
"No, it doesn't count!" She answered coldly, "I heard from Mrs. Lu that she was not satisfied with the girl."
Celia said in a low voice, "But the girl is my sister, Joan."
This was an unexpected answer.
Laura snorted and thought, 'They are really lucky. If it were someone else, I might have been a little worried that my daughter isn't smart enough to marry Darren.'.
However, the stupid woman. She even hadn't spared any effort to get some money from Scott when she divorced. She had thought that it would take her some time to manage to make money from him, but it turned out that she gave away the house without even hiring a lawyer.
It seemed that Scott had taught her how to be tame, but she didn't expect that she could be so good at seducing men.
However, she still needed to spend more time grabbing things from Laura.
In the office, Scott was restless like a cat on hot bricks. Darren didn't see him at all. He even arranged his men to protect Joan well, leaving him no chance to be alone with her. He sent someone to the Lu Company, but all of them were rejected politely and indifferently by Selina.
"Austin, remember these people." Selina Zhang and a man dressed in black and stood together, both of whom were as cold as ice. She said, "Our CEO ordered that we mustn't allow anyone to get into the house. If I wasn't there, you would keep an eye on them."
The man nodded his head, devoid of any facial expression.
Knowing his character, Selina didn't say anything more. She turned around and went upstairs. She knew that many girls in the company were heartbroken now. The dream lover in their eyes was actually staying with an ordinary colleague.
In fact, she could understand them. If he found a famous model, they wouldn't be so disappointed. After all, the prince married the princess. They were too young and naive compared to a model. But Joan was the same as them, so they thought it was a trick she had played.
They began to regret that they had used too little time to carry out her plans. It was lucky for her to have other men's company in business at such a young age and she wouldn't have to worry about anything in the future. Selina had the same thought at the beginning, but she realized that she was not that kind of woman who wanted to marry into a rich and powerful family with her own eyes recently focusing on her hard work.
Instead, she made more efforts than usual.
There was a side door on the back side of Darren's office, and the billiards room was near it. He seldom went out of the office for a day. When he felt tired, he usually went to the billiards room to play billiards.
Standing in front of him, Joan continued, "Mr. Lu, you can play one more round with me. But if you give up, I'll let you go."
Admitting defeat was just a game. With a serious expression on his face, Darren said, "Let's play one more round." He seemed to be red-eyed, took off his bound jacket and lay on the table.
He hit the ball and made every ball stop in a perfect position.
With a relaxed expression on his face, Darren began to go against Joan, who had just won against him in this round. He was determined to give her a lesson this time.
She leaned down and carefully moved around the table for two circles, with her fingers crossed before the pole. This time, she was aiming at the dark globe opposite to the white one
Her ambition was too great. He intentionally parked the ball at the farthest distance and the most cunning angle from the high score ball, because he didn't want his opponent to play well.
If she didn't hit the highest black ball, the pink one would be better, but it was not so easy as it was. The reason why he did this was to set more obstacles for her so that he could take back in charge in the next round.
"You cunning old fox. You know what, I guess the round is much better this time." She said in an expert's voice, "Look at me!"
Before anyone could realize it, the stick was thrown against the table, and the white rolled to the other side of the table towards the black ball.
The black ball was hit into the whole!
Given the fact that she had a way to deal with the situation, Darren's face darkened with anger. It seemed that he wasn't willing to accept such a result.
