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.

Chapter 11

As soon as Jessy Qin finished dealing with a group of rich women, she took a deep breath. In the crowd, she saw her eldest son at a glance.

She had been circling around with those ladies before, and now she realized that Edward Lu's female companion tonight was Carla Ji.

Frowning, Jenny thought to herself, 'no wonder there are so many discussions.'.

She stepped forward and glanced at him with a decent smile on her face.

"Madamn Qin, long time no see."

"Carla. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Why are you here today?"

Before Carla could answer, Edward Lu answered, "she is my female companion tonight."

Hearing this answer, Jenny was a little stunned, and the smile on her face disappeared.

Today was different from the past. She hated the Ji family very much. She had watched Carla Ji grow up.

"Mom, there is a client over there. I need to go there."

Although Edward Lu said this to Jenny Qin, his eyes were fixed on Ji Zhiyao.

"Carla. I haven't seen you for a long time. Let's have a talk." Seeing that she was about to leave with Edward Lu, Jenny stopped her in a hurry.

She nodded slightly and followed her to a quiet corner.

"Carla. I used to think that you would become more and more beautiful when you grew up. Now it seems to be true. A few days ago, I heard that with the help of a rich man, your family is developing very well."

Jenny Qinsaid in an indifferent tone, but there was obvious disgust and hatred in her eyes.

Carla Ji kept silent and listened quietly.

"The earth has been spinning, and people are also changing. In fact, everything in the world is changing, isn't it? Now is different from the past, your Ji family is also developing better than before. Our Lu family is also getting through the crisis with difficulty, and now it is getting better, but we can't defeat the Ji family."

'the Ji family's backer?

Did Jenny Qin mean that she was afraid that she couldn't understand? Are you talking about the Li family?

The most important thing was that the Ji family was on the verge of bankruptcy. Recently, Sean Ji

was so anxious that he was trying to attract investment. No matter what kind of development was better, the Lu family couldn't compare with them?

It was obviously ironic!

Gritting her teeth, Carla thought of the deadlock between the two clans back then, and the Ji clan was the one who was in the wrong. But now she was still living in Edward Lu's house. It was just like a windfall!

Although full of resentment, a decent smile still hung on her face.

"So you mean..."

"Carla, you are a smart child. You know something. You can't force the past that can't be returned."

Biting her lips slightly, Jenny shook the goblet in her hand and took a sip of the red wine.

"Edward is a promising man and has never failed me. I don't want anyone to affect him in the future. You can understand what aunt means by time."

He just wanted her to be sensible and stay away from Edward, indicating that she didn't deserve him?

She still remembered that when she was a child, loved her very much. and the love in her eyes was true.

But now
