From Runaway Bride to Global Queen-Chapter 111 - : Sense of Crisis

Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Sense of Crisis

Qin Yun poked Lu Yanchuan’s arm and pursed her lips, motioning with her chin towards the person who was speaking.

“I don’t know them.”

Lu Yanchuan didn’t even glance in that direction, his words alone comforting Qiao Yi.

“Isn’t this one of your unwanted admirers? Aren’t you going to handle it yourself? If I do it, it might not be pretty if I go too hard on such a beauty.”

Qiao Yi whispered into Lu Yanchuan’s ear, outsiders could only see her clinging to Lu Yanchuan, not knowing the content of their conversation.

If that confrontational woman heard Qiao Yi, she would probably be driven to tears, wouldn’t she?

The closer Qiao Yi got to Lu Yanchuan, the angrier the woman looked. Seeing Qiao Yi’s indifference to her sarcasm, even further flaunting her intimacy with Lu Yanchuan, the woman finally couldn’t hold back and stormed over.

“Are you Second Miss Qiao?”

Just as Qiao Yi had pulled back from Lu Yanchuan’s ear, she raised her eyebrows and glanced at her, seemingly startled by the woman’s aggressive demeanor, and quickly shrank back beside Lu Yanchuan.

“Who are you?”

“Hmph! Who am I? I’m Wu Yingrui from the Wu Family, someone of your status indeed isn’t worthy to know my name!”

After Wu Yingrui finished speaking, she saw a deep concern emerge on Qiao Yi’s face, feeling instantly triumphant.

Just a petty daughter from a minor family. Even if she married into the Lu Family, she can’t match their level.

Before Wu Yingrui could continue, Qiao Yi suddenly interrupted her.

“Miss Wu, you better not speak carelessly like that in the future, or people might start believing that the Wu Family wants to declare war against the Lu Family!”

“War between Wu Family and Lu Family? What joke is that?”

Wu Yingrui was bewildered by Qiao Yi’s words, then realized she had been played, pointing at Qiao Yi’s nose and snorting heavily.

“What position do you think you hold? The affairs between the Wu Family and Lu Family are also yours to meddle with? If you know what’s good for you, you’d apologize right now, or else…”

“Or else what? I really didn’t know where I, as the wife of Third Young Master Lu, stand in Miss Wu’s eyes?”

Qiao Yi hugged Lu Yanchuan’s arm, her tone innocent and naive, yet her words deflated Wu Yingrui immediately.

“You! Do you really think you’re some kind of Young Master’s wife? You’re nothing but a political marriage tool, and Qingshan and Yue are the real couple! You’re just a homewrecker!”

Wu Yingrui was provoked by Qiao Yi’s remarks, blurting out without thinking.

And her words elicited no reaction from either Qiao Yi or Lu Yanchuan, but caused a long-haired woman not far from the banquet to change her face drastically.

“Yanchuan, I still didn’t know you had such a close female friend in the past?”

Qiao Yi turned with a giggle and bumped into Lu Yanchuan, completely ignoring his cold expression, thoroughly enjoying herself.

Many onlookers were covertly watching this scene, thinking to themselves at Qiao Yi’s reaction – did this girl get so stirred up she lost her mind?

What woman could react like Qiao Yi when faced with such a provocation!

Lu Yanchuan caught the scent of gossip in Qiao Yi’s tone, which made his teeth itch.

Was it because he had been too gentle with her recently?

Lu Yanchuan indeed knew Qiao Yi very well; her initial reaction after hearing Wu Yingrui’s words was to gossip. She was very curious to know who this hero was who could be linked with Lu Yanchuan in a rumor!

Even someone is stepping up to speak for her!

“Don’t be ridiculous, you know very well whether I have a close female friend or not.”

Lu Yanchuan glanced at Qiao Yi meaningfully, causing her to choke on her words.

Don’t think she doesn’t know what Lu Yanchuan is talking about!

Qiao Yi pinched Lu Yanchuan hard on the arm, warning him not to speak recklessly!

Wu Yingrui, standing next to them, was completely ignored; her expression of anger and dissatisfaction froze on her face, slowly turning to disbelief.

“Yanchuan! How could you do this! You were about to marry Yue! If it weren’t for this woman suddenly appearing, you and Yue would have been together a long time ago!”

“Before I married Yiyi, I never agreed to any marriage proposal, and as for you, I’m not familiar enough with you to be called ‘brother’ by you.”

Lu Yanchuan’s attitude showed clear displeasure and disdain, not even giving Wu Yingrui any face.

Qiao Yi shut her mouth and sat beside Lu Yanchuan like a vase, since Lu Yanchuan had already stood up for her, she certainly didn’t need to say anything more.

“Yanchuan! For this woman who suddenly appeared, how could you change into what you are now!”

Wu Yingrui, perhaps failing to detect Lu Yanchuan’s impatience, continued relentlessly, even attempting furiously to pull Qiao Yi away from Lu Yanchuan’s side.

But before Qiao Yi and Lu Yanchuan could stop her, a woman walked up behind her, grabbed Wu Yingrui’s arm, and pulled her back.

“Sorry, Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, Rui is young and ignorant, please excuse the trouble she’s caused.”

“Yue! How can you apologize to them! They clearly betrayed you!”

Wu Yingrui revealed the identity of the woman; Lan Yue, the youngest daughter of the second generation of the Lan Family, with four elder brothers and one elder sister, she is the precious gem of the Lan Family.

She is also the Yue that Wu Yingrui mentioned, the woman who was supposed to marry Lu Yanchuan.

Qiao Yi didn’t feel overly jealous meeting a love rival; she just felt that Miss Lan’s gaze towards Lu Yanchuan was a bit strange, calling it affection would seem quite disharmonious.

Regardless of their past relationships, now, Lu Yanchuan is hers!

Thinking this, Qiao Yi couldn’t help but snuggle closer into Lu Yanchuan’s arm.

This small gesture was noticed by Lu Yanchuan who then took Qiao Yi’s hand and even pulled her closer into his embrace.

The sweet interactions between the two did not escape Lan Yue’s eyes; her pupils dimmed slightly, yet she still smiled gently and apologized to them.

“I’m really sorry, I’ll take her away now.”

Wu Yingrui was furious, yet Lan Yue decisively led her away without further discussion. Despite Wu Yingrui’s dissatisfaction, she didn’t dare directly confront Lan Yue and could only pout as she was pulled away.

“It’s really fitting for the Third Young Master Lu, to have such a stunning beauty pining for you. Did you see the way that beauty looked just now? It melted my heart. Third Young Master, didn’t it flutter your heart too?”

Qiao Yi, like a ruffian, followed Lan Yue’s departing figure with her gaze, speaking nonchalantly, but a strong sense of crisis was rising within her.

Something was off about this woman, at least her attitude towards Lu Yanchuan was definitely not one of simple liking.
