Reborn Aristocrat: Oppressing

Lu Zishan nodded and said, "Manman, you're getting more and more capable. I didn't expect you to think ahead of me."

Lu Manman smiled. "I just want to make our family stronger. So strong that we won't be threatened by others."

Lu Zishan smiled.

Lu Manman turned to look at the streets of Wen City.

The better the Lu family developed, the more competitive they would be in the market. The Wen family would not dare to act rashly.

This was the best way to protect herself!

After all, the Wen family could not do whatever they wanted to powerful people!

Lu Manman narrowed her eyes.

Her cell phone rang.

Lu Manman looked at the caller ID. "Gu Xin."

"Your cousin was in a car accident?" the person on the other end asked.

"Mm-hm." Lu Manman nodded. "What's up?"

"It's alright. I didn't know what I was doing, so I called you."

"How are you and Di An?"

"How else?!" Gu Xin scoffed.

They had slept in separate rooms on the night of the wedding. The next morning, Di An and Gu Xin had called the servants over.

Hence, there were two more servants in the house.

They were all here to take care of Di An.

Gu Xin was not so kind as to take care of him herself.

From the next day onwards, the two of them barely spoke to each other. She even left when she was awake most of the time and would only go back very late. She and Di An did not even have time to see each other these two days!

"Where are you now?"

"I'm still in bed. I played until too late last night."

"Gu Xin, you're already a wife. Can't you behave yourself?" Lu Manman frowned.

"I can't behave myself," Gu Xin said childishly.

Lu Manman could not help but roll her eyes.

"I'm hanging up if you're busy," Gu Xin said.

Actually, she hadn't thought much about it. She just felt empty after getting out of bed and didn't know who to call.

Moreover, the more she played outside, the less interested she was.

Most of the time, she just forced herself not to return to this place.

She had also forced herself to return to this place!

She lifted the blanket and got out of bed.

Gu Xin went to the bathroom to wash up and then opened the door in her pajamas.

Anyway, Di An could not see anything.

In the living room, there was a servant, Mama Wu, who was cooking in the open kitchen at the moment. She was the servant from the Di family's villa that Di An had asked for. It was said that she had taken care of Di An since he was a child. She was the one who got the other servant, but she was not familiar with her. She got someone to find her in the servants' market, and they hired a young lady in her twenties. This young lady looked smart and obedient, and she was cleaning the living room seriously at the moment.

On the couch in the living room, Di An sat there and chatted with the cleaning lady occasionally with a friendly smile.

Gu Xin had no idea that the house had already turned out this way.

She had not been at home for the past two days.

The young lady looked up as she was cleaning. She saw Gu Xin and hurriedly greeted her. "Madam."

Madam?!

Gu Xin did not like this nickname.

Di An pursed his lips and said, "Xiao Qin, call her Miss Gu."

"Oh." Xiao Qin hurriedly said, "Hello, Miss Gu."

Gu Xin did not like it either.

She turned around unhappily and closed the door, using a lot of force.

Xiao Qin was at a loss. "Mr. Di, did I offend Miss Gu?"

"It's not you," Di An said.

Xiao Qin was even more confused.

"Nothing much. You can continue cleaning." Di An smiled.

"Yes." Xiao Qin nodded obediently and did it seriously.

She had just come to the city to work from the countryside and was not cultured enough to join the servants' company. She did not expect to receive a notice in less than a month that she could start work. She did not expect her master to be so nice. She thought that the people in the rich and powerful families were all unruly, but Mr. Di actually took the initiative to talk to her and ask her about her basic situation. She did not feel pressured at all here.

But Miss Gu was a little strange.

Thankfully, Miss Gu did not spend much time at home.

Moreover, why were Mr. Di and Miss Gu sleeping in separate rooms?!

…

Lu Manman hung up.

Lu Qinzheng looked at her and asked, "What's wrong with Gu Xin?"

"It's nothing much. She just has a temper," Lu Manman said.

Lu Qinzheng sighed. "Gu Xin is so stubborn. I wonder if she'll be happy with Di An."

"She will." Lu Manman insisted.

Lu Qinzheng looked at his daughter and asked, "Then, what about you and Mo Yuanxiu?"

She was stunned.

"Will you live well?" Lu Qinzheng smiled kindly.

She was his daughter, and he could tell what her relationship with Mo Yuanxiu truly was!

They had gotten married not because they liked each other.
