Chapter 8

With a bright smile on her face, Vicky Mo said, "Edward, my cousin asked me to come to you. She said there would be a charity banquet tonight and she asked us to choose dresses together."

While speaking, she walked directly to the living room when Edward Lu was not noticing.

When Edward Lu opened the door for her, she saw the white high heels at the door and frowned slightly.

Vicky Mo

Still wearing a cold face, Edward Lu stood a few steps away from her and said coldly, "you can choose by yourself."

"What about you? Won't you go with me? Or shall I ask them to send the clothes to my house to try them on?"

Vicky Mo

Looking at Edward Lu pitifully, Vicky Mo couldn't hide the expectation in her eyes.

"I'll bring my date myself."

At that time, Carla was also disturbed by the two people downstairs. He walked downstairs with his sleepy eyes.

"Who is she?"

"Who is it?"

The two of them spoke almost at the same time.

Edward Lu was speechless

Vicky Mo

Jenny stared at her father and clenched her fists. Anger was written all over her face.

He didn't expect that there was a woman living here? When did it happen? Why didn't she know!

Standing on the stairs, Carla watched the scene with great interest.

Seeing her like this, Edward Lu felt uncomfortable as if she was an outsider.

Vicky Mo

Jenny withdrew her gaze from her father and looked at Edward Lu with grievance.

"Edward, it's my cousin who asked me to look for you. I can't explain to her if I go back like this."

"I will explain to my mother."

"But... My aunt..."

"Haven't I made it clear? I'm with my female companion, and she's there."

Edward Lu's face darkened and he was about to drive her away.

Vicky Mo

Of course, Jenny could tell the disdain in his words. She felt wronged and bit her lips tightly, staring at time resentfully.

Who the hell was this wild woman? How dare he take her place!

Carla Ji shrugged her shoulders and stood on the stairs innocently.

What the hell? She was standing in the attic, and the blame came from the sky?

Vicky Mo

Being molested by the indifferent attitude of time, Jenny took a deep breath and returned to a gentle look. She said to Edward Lu in a soft voice, "then remember to call aunt. I'm leaving now."

After that, she didn't receive any response from Edward Lu. She could only vent her anger on time.

She stood up from the sofa, turned her head and gave a ferocious glance at him. Then she turned around and walked to the door, slamming the door.

Then Carla walked down the stairs and sat cross legged on the sofa.

She took a meaningful look at Edward and said, "you are a good tempered man!"

Edward Lu turned to look at her, his eyes darkened.

Carla's hair fell down a little. Maybe it was because of his pajamas, the neckline was particularly large, and the collarbone was smooth and beautiful. His two long white legs were exposed outside, very seductive.

This woman was really playing with fire.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, "don't you know your figure? How dare you wear such clothes to make a fool of yourself?"

"It's none of your business how I dress. I don't want to show you..."

The voice behind her became lower and lower. With embarrassment, he took a pillow to cover her chest, and her face was a little red.

Edward Lu smiled, "there's nothing to cover. I've seen all over your body. Or are you playing hard to get and want me to take off your clothes?"

Chapter 9

Enraged, she threw a pillow at the man in front of her. "You're a bastard, a rogue!"

"Now that you know I'm a rogue, why don't you change your clothes?"

"Why do you change your clothes?"

"Go out and try on the dress."

"No... do you really want me to be your female companion?"

Edward Lu pointed at his face. Carla Ji was confused and asked, "what do you mean?"

"Did my look seem Im kidding?"

"...!"

"Even if you go to try on dresses, you don't have to come back so early, do we?"

"Morning? Carla,look at what time it is now. Only you can sleep like a pig!"

Carla was speechless. Its he who just got up, OK?

Vicky Mo

Edward Lu didn't continue to quarrel with her, but kept the charity banquet mentioned by Jenny in mind.

"Hurry up!"

Carla Ji rolled her eyes at him. They both wore pajamas. Why did he look like a noble young master in pajamas?

What a beast in human attire!

SSS

After changing the clothes, Edward Lu directly took time to have lunch, then went to choose a dress, and finally took the dress to "SSS".

It was a private studio.

Even though she just came back from abroad, she knew how popular this studio was.

The stylists were all top in the industry, and many famous stars often came here to do hairdressing.

Edward Lu directly handed the woman and the dress to the boss of the studio, Alina.

"Dress her up."

Carla twitched her mouth and rolled her eyes.

Edward Lu saw through her at a glance.

"If you don't cooperate, you can sleep on the street tonight."

Taking a deep breath, Carla glared at him and thought, 'a wise man won't suffer losses in front of him. I'll put up with you!'!

After all, she was living under someone's roof now, so she had to see the expression on his face.

Two hours later, Alina brought her out.

Edward Lu looked at the woman in a light yellow short skirt in front of him. Her skin was as smooth as snow, and her eyes were as clear as water. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she was indescribably gentle and lovely.

But he just glanced at it without any ups and downs on his face.

"She looks like a woman after dressing up."

"You... You have a good taste!"

Carla gritted her teeth, she know that the man would not say anything good

Edward Lu lowered his eyes and smiled. He stood up and said, "let's go. Don't embarrass me."

"Don't worry. I will definitely give you face!"

With a groan, Carla walked ahead of Edward Lu in his seven or eight centimeter high heels.

But because of her fast pace, she staggered from time to time.

Edward Lu strode forward and stretched out his arm to her.

Carla was a little stunned and looked up at him. Edward Lu pulled her hand into his arm and said coldly, "don't flatter yourself. I'm a gentleman. This is my basic quality and demeanor."

"Hum!"

She looked away disdainfully, calmly held his arm, and the two of them rushed to the banquet venue in a car.

After a while, they arrived at the banquet hall.

The moment the two of them entered the room, everyone looked sideways and whispered to each other.

"Isn't this the eldest master of the Lu clan? Who is the woman next to him? She looks a little familiar."

"Mr.Lu never brings any female companion to a banquet. But this woman is so beautiful. They are a perfect match, like a perfect match."

"Humph, what a perfect match! Isn't the lady of the Ji family who is about to go bankrupt? Look at her coquettish face."

Chapter 10

The discussion didn't stop.

Carla Ji shrugged her shoulders indifferently.

The reason why these people slandered Edward Lu was just because they were jealous. They didn't have the ability to stand beside him, so they were naturally envious and hateful!

A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. The more people talked about her, the more she stood straight, like a proud peacock, letting her self-confidence and beauty be undisguised.

Seeing Carlas expression, Edward Lu said with concern before he left.

"I'm going to the stage. Stay here and don't move."

Nodding her head repeatedly, like a lovely little boy, Carla said, "I'll stay here and won't go anywhere!"

She winked at Edward Lu with a smile, "I'll wait for you to come back!"

Who did she learn from that smile?

Edward Lu went on the stage with a frown. He didn't get relaxed until all the spotlights were on him.

He took a glance at the crowd and found that Carla really stayed there. Then he was a little relieved and began to walk through the dinner party.

"Thank you for coming here today."

"I'm sure you all know our purpose this time. We're going to develop the old quarter in the south of the city with the Fu family, and we'll establish a foundation under the name of this project to help the poor. So I hope all of you can help us today."

As soon as Edward Lu said this, the people downstairs began to discuss.

Especially those women who stood behind Carla and spoke ill of her began to discuss the news Edward Lu just released.

"It's not obvious to cooperate with the Fu family to do this project."

"What do you mean? The Lu family and the Fu family are equal in strength. Isn't it normal for them to cooperate? What does it mean if they join hands?"

"Oh, it's not that simple. The next step is definitely to unite the two families by marriage."

The people behind kept murmuring. Holding the goblet tightly, Carla's eyes were fixed on Edward Lu on the stage.

"Bastard!"

The anger in her eyes could be seen clearly. She had been whispering all the time.

She had cursed Edward Lu from head to toe in her heart.

X

He was going to marry the Fu family, but he still had the face to come to her house and say that he was responsible for it and wanted to get married. It was obvious that he took her as a back-up, as a silly X, scum, scum, to the extreme!

After that, she didn't hear a word from Edward Lu. She just cursed the man with double faces in her heart.

"Your eyes are dull. I'm afraid others will think you're a fool."

After Edward Lu finished his speech on the stage, he went straight to the side of Carla. She was still cursing Edward with resentment, not noticing that it was over.

Carla glared at him with a gloomy face and said in a cold tone.

"Even if I am a fool, what does it have to do with you?" Carla Ji's face was gloomy and his tone was cold.

"You are my female companion tonight. I don't want others to say that I am blind to find a fool."

With a faint smile at the corners of his mouth, Edward Lu looked at the angry little woman in front of him and felt interesting.

"Edward."

Hearing the noise, all turned around and looked at the two.

This glance made him nervous and his body stiff.
