Chapter 884: Chapter 884: Problematic Lemonade (2)
Lu Wanwan immediately looked at the lemonade in his hand, "Is there something wrong with the other glass?"
Xiao Lang merely blinked slightly, the corner of his lips curving back into a mischievous smile, "Just hold onto it for now."
"Why are you telling me this?" Lu Wanwan took it but, of course, didn’t drink it.
"Someone wants to harm you, and someone wants to save you." Xiao Lang lightly tapped the stem of his glass with his finger, scoffing with indifference, "I’m actually in a bit of a bind. Unfortunately, I ought to listen to the one who wants to save you."
She looked at this person, who had shown ill intentions multiple times, with a hint of ridicule on her face, "You... surely you don’t mean for me to believe you, right? Hmm? You think I’m brainless enough to trust your words; are you planning to make me take a sip?"
Xiao Lang’s smile was impatient and froze for a moment, "Of course, you need to take a sip."
Lu Wanwan chuckled, her gaze akin to looking at an imbecile.
"If I wanted to drug you, would I choose this moment? Would I tell you in advance?" Xiao Lang’s thin lips curled mischievously, "If you don’t drink it, I can’t say whether the person who wants you to drink it will think there’s an issue. This is your good chance to fight back. Though, I also think you’d be out of your mind to believe me, but there’s nothing I can do because I’m not inclined to make up a reason to get you to drink it."
"Who?" Lu Wanwan held the glass, "Xue Ru? Gu Yunsi?"
The mother and daughter from earlier, perhaps that was what it meant.
"Can they command you?" Her eyes narrowed, expressing skepticism.
Xue Ru and her daughter merely took advantage of being by the Old Madam from the Gu Family’s side for many years, but Xiao Lang was not a part of the Gu Family at all.
This way, their suspicion is diminished, but why would Xiao Lang listen to them?
The things Xue Ru and her daughter could use to tempt him were limited, right?
"It’s not called commanding, just offering me a benefit." Xiao Lang’s face also showed reluctance, his mischievous lips curved, his glance scanned the room, raising his hand.
But soon, before bringing the glass to his lips, he remembered.
"Almost. It’s the glass in my hand that really can’t be drunk." Xiao Lang dryly laughed a few times, speaking quite humorously, "If, and I mean if, I tell you that you need to go somewhere with me, would you think I’m crazy?"

Mu Xing, wearing a low-cut dress, had her hair pinned up, feeling very uncomfortable in high heels.
She wandered through the hall, watching Lu Wanwan from several dozen meters away.
She frowned; Shuman had only called one person recently, Xiao Lang.
It seems she was still incited, or perhaps, she herself wasn’t truly content.
Being used as a pawn by others for no reason.
Mu Xing could only watch from afar. Upon noticing Lu Wanwan and Xiao Lang leaving together, she quickly followed them.
The Young Madam wouldn’t be so easily deceived, right?
Mu Xing took out her phone and walked quickly in their direction.
Just after sending the message, her view was blocked by a figure when she looked up.
"Get out of the way!" Upon seeing who it was, she felt a bit unsure but her tone was urgent.
Bai Lingyun held a glass of red wine, looking unperturbed, but there’s still a bruise on his forehead from a bump, "Who are you stalking again? It’s the first time I’ve seen you dressed like this; it doesn’t seem to suit you."
"I don’t have time to chat with you now!" Mu Xing watched as Lu Wanwan and Xiao Lang walked further away, and there was no response to the message she sent to Young Master Gu.
She immediately scanned the room, but only saw the figure of Young Master Gu at the main seat, seemingly because the little miss had fallen.
"Bai Lingyun, do me a favor!"
