Chapter 311: The Hidden Third Party
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The next morning, Jin Nian returned to the villa next door after breakfast. She didn’t know if she was overthinking things, but she felt that Gu Yu kept looking at her strangely during breakfast.
The Gu brothers usually looked at people with a hint of sizing them up. This morning, Gu Yu looked at her with a mocking gaze.
Jin Nian knew that Gu Yao and Gu Yu were from wealthy families. They were born with a sense of superiority. They looked at others with a sense of superiority and inquiry. For some reason, it made people feel that they were up to something bad.
Jin Nian didn’t like this kind of gaze, but she tolerated it for the time being because Gu Yao and Gu Yu were Lu An’s friends. At most in the future, she would have less contact with them.
When they finally returned to their villa, Jin Nian looked embarra.s.sed when she saw Chen Li. She said that she was the one who invited her to the island, but she left her alone last night. Fortunately, Chen Li was very tolerant and said generously, “It’s okay. The music party last night was very lively. I had a lot of fun.”
“I’ll accompany you tonight.” Jin Nian promised, feeling a little embarra.s.sed.
“It’s okay,” said Chen Li with a smile.
She raised her eyes and looked out of the French window. Lu An was leaning on a recliner on the balcony. Flis figure was tall and slender. His posture was lazy and leisurely.
The surrounding scenery was breathtaking. The blue sky, sea, seagulls flying past the seaside mansion, and a handsome man leaning on a recliner, exuding an irresistible charm.
“Honey.” Lu An suddenly turned his head and called out. Jin Nian walked over. He propped himself up slightly and hugged her waist. The two of them leaned against each other and were talking about something. Their faces were filled with blissful smiles.
At this moment, the phone on Jin Nian’s desk rang. Chen Li shouted, “Niannian, your phone is ringing.”
Jin Nian quickly turned around and walked into the house from the balcony to answer the call.
Chen Li sat on the sofa and thought for a while. Then, she walked to the balcony with a gla.s.s of red wine and placed it on the table.
Lu An thought that the person who came in was Jin Nian and reached out to pull her back. The moment two fingertips touched, Lu An suddenly felt that something was wrong. He turned his head and saw Chen Li looking at him with a smile.
Lu An frowned and looked into the room. He realized that Jin Nian had disappeared.
Chen Li stood where she was and stared at Lu An. Her voice was gentle. “This gla.s.s of wine is for you. Thank you, Mr. Lu, for inviting me over as a guest.”
Lu An didn’t drink the wine but said coldly, “Don’t thank me. Niannian is the one who wants to bring you here.”
In other words, if it weren’t for Jin Nian, he would never have agreed to bring a stranger here. Chen Li should thank Jin Nian.
Chen Li was experienced after all. Even though she could hear the displeasure in Lu An’s tone, she still maintained a gentle smile.
Lu An didn’t touch the gla.s.s of red wine. He turned around and ignored Chen
Li. After a moment, Chen Li tactfully turned around and left.
He felt that Jin Nian was still too naive. It seemed that she had not noticed this woman’s evil intentions at all.
Jin Nian’s experience was still too little. She didn’t know that there were many bad people in this world. Some people approach you with ulterior motives. She really wanted to be friends with Chen Li. She brought her home and brought her to the island to play together, but she didn’t understand this woman at all.
This woman was not a good friend, but a third party who tried to seduce her man.
Although Lu An had never had a girlfriend before, he had seen many women around his friends fighting for love. Those women would cause trouble for each other, resulting in disfigurement and miscarriage, and their reputation was ruined to get a man.
Whenever Lu An heard of such a thing, he felt that his friends were sick. They liked to watch women fight as if this was the only way to feel superior.
Lu An’s thoughts were different from theirs. He only liked Jin Nian, and the other women were just burdens to him.
If anyone dared to make Jin Nian sad, he would not let them go.
Lu An was sure that if he showed any interest in Chen Li, Jin Nian would divorce him without hesitation and take Lu Keke away. She would not give him a second chance.
He didn’t like other women anyway, so he couldn’t let Jin Nian have any misunderstanding. He had to keep a distance from Chen Li and find a chance to chase her away when necessary.
Lu An looked up at the red wine on the table. He frowned in disgust and shouted outside.
“Sir, what’s the matter?” A maid came in and asked respectfully.
“Pour this gla.s.s of wine away. Change the gla.s.s and pour me a gla.s.s of water,” said Lu An.
Laula looked at the wine gla.s.s in confusion, but she still took the gla.s.s and left.
The price of this gla.s.s of red wine was equivalent to half a month of her salary. Mr. Lu poured it out just like that. As expected, rich people were domineering..
