The two were laughing and flirting here, while Mother Lu was not so relaxed.
After leaving the beauty salon and getting into the car, she picked up her phone and started searching for news about various internet celebrities online.
She didn't know until she searched, and her worldview was shattered.
To gain traffic, these internet celebrities would do anything.
Cosmetic surgery, cheating, divorce, getting back together after divorce – these were all routine operations.
There were countless examples of using their influencer status to get close to various high-quality men, engaging in transactions with the top, second, and third tier "brothers" in the live broadcast rooms.
There was even a case that influencers regarded as a classic success story, constantly promoting it.
A woman climbed onto a top rich second-generation in Shangcheng. After breaking up, she secretly went to the United States to give birth to a son and later returned to the country to acknowledge kinship.
The man would not marry her, but to prevent the child from suffering, he gave her sixty million yuan as a breakup fee.
Sixty million yuan might be a drop in the bucket among the wealthy, but for people like them, it was an amount they couldn't earn in two lifetimes.
This showed how clear the goals of these internet celebrities were!
Lu Mingzhe was a young man, and he had heard of such things before. Moreover, he worked in psychology, so he should be able to see through these vixen-like women clearly. How could he make such a low-level mistake!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. When she returned home, she began to thoroughly investigate Xiang Wan again.
She thought Xiang Wan had packaged herself so well, blinding Lu Mingzhe with her glamorous appearance, but it turned out to be nothing special.
A 30-year-old woman with a high school education from a small, broken county.
She had stepped on the shoulders of countless men to get to where she was today, gaining some fans, but still just an anchor for a low-end brand.
She was so unpresentable, yet Lu Mingzhe divorced Jiaojiao for her?
If Father Lu knew that Lu Mingzhe was so rebellious and brought shame to the family, he would surely have a relapse of his old illness!
Therefore, before things escalated and Lu Mingzhe dared not tell the family, she had to act quickly.
It was easy to find the address of Xiang Wan's studio.
The next day, after lunch, she sent the driver to buy water and sat in the car, calling Xiang Wan.
Xiang Wan was a little surprised when she received the call.
"May I ask who you are?"
"Xiang Wan, right? I'm downstairs at your studio. Can you come down to talk?"
Xiang Wan walked to the window and looked down, still confused.
"May I ask who you are? Do we know each other?"
"You'll know when you come down. My time is limited, and so is my patience. Don't force me to come up. Once I come up, the situation will be difficult to handle."
Xiang Wan went downstairs in a daze.
The live broadcast room was promoting a batch of autumn clothes, fresh and new styles.
A long knit camisole dress paired with various light-colored cardigans.
Xiang Wan had just finished filming a video and returned. She didn't have time to change and went down in a hurry.
Mother Lu sat in the car and saw a woman with heavy makeup and cheap clothes walking out.
As she walked, she looked around, guessed it was her, and rolled down the car window.
It was a well-maintained, elegantly dressed wealthy wife.
Xiang Wan became even more confused and walked closer to the car.
"Do we know each other? What do you need me for?"
"Get in the car. Let's talk while sitting."
Mother Lu exuded a light, elegant fragrance. Her clothes were designer, paired with high-end luxury jewelry.
Xiang Wan felt a little inferior sitting next to her.
The clothes she sold were for ordinary working-class women, costing only 138 yuan per set...
Looking at the steering wheel, a Rolls-Royce, the woman's features seemed somewhat similar to Lu Mingzhe's.
Even if she were slower, she would have understood about seventy to eighty percent by now.
"I am Lu Mingzhe's mother."
Since she had come to find her, Mother Lu had no intention of beating around the bush and got straight to the point.
"I heard my son divorced his wife because of you, and that you are pregnant. Is that true?"
To look good in photos, Xiang Wan had put on a pair of high heels, thin and high, cheap heels purely to elongate her figure.
After appraising Xiang Wan's face, Mother Lu glanced at her feet.
She was dismissive and unreserved.
"You're wearing heavy makeup, a dress, and high heels. You don't look pregnant at all."
She hadn't expected to meet his mother so soon, and under such circumstances.
Xiang Wan couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were coming in advance, so I didn't get ready properly..."
Before she could finish, Mother Lu interrupted her.
"No need to get ready. Some people are inherently unpresentable. No matter how much they tidy up or what beautiful things they use to package themselves, I can see their true nature at a glance."
It seemed Mother Lu had investigated her in advance and was not satisfied with her.
Look at her attitude when speaking. It was nothing like a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law; she was completely an enemy.
Xiang Wan had originally wanted to have a good conversation with her, but everyone has a temper.
"Auntie, what do you mean by that?"
"Am I not expressing myself clearly? It seems I've been too polite to you."
Mother Lu was aggressive.
"Miss Xiang, as far as I know, you are already 30 years old. Having lived this long and experienced so much, you must understand men better than I do."
"Mingzhe is just playing with you, not serious. You wouldn't not know that, would you?"
Xiang Wan knew that given her background and current profession, matching a family like Lu Mingzhe's would not be smooth sailing.
But she hadn't expected the beginning to be so awkward.
She tried hard to appear calm.
"So, Lu Mingzhe sent you to find me?"
"Don't use that to shut me up. I said, men are like this, and my son is no exception."
"He's fickle, likes new things, and will say anything for pleasure in bed."
"But that was only in the specific circumstances at the time, a moment of excitement, not what he truly meant. If you take it seriously, you're too naive."
These words truly left Xiang Wan speechless.
The wife of a dignified cadre, with such a warped worldview.
She had originally wanted to get angry, but hearing these absurdities, she only felt pity for how confined she was by feudalistic thinking, and her heart calmed down.
Mother Lu, thinking she was making sense, sat up straight, appearing elegant.
"I know a little about your industry. You have your own operating rules, and people need to survive, so I won't comment."
"But not commenting doesn't mean I can accept it. To be frank, someone of your style will never enter our family."
"This world lacks many things, but it doesn't lack pure and innocent girls. Mingzhe will meet many more people who will make his heart flutter in the future..."
"I think there's no need for us to continue this conversation."
Xiang Wan interrupted her.
She had already clearly understood her intentions. Their thoughts were not on the same channel, and continuing to talk would only anger the other party, serving no purpose.
"Mrs. Lu, these are just your personal thoughts, not Lu Mingzhe's."
