Chapter 781: You’re Easier On The Eyes Now
And she got even better now, she had been smoking and drinking excessively.
“Look at you!” Old Master Lu pointed at Yan Huan in exasperation. “I have never seen a woman as ugly and as messy as you. Look at your hair, how long has it been since you last washed or combed it? You even smell! Do you still think of yourself as a woman?”
“It’s no fun being a woman.” Yan Huan grabbed her hair and comtinued, “So I am actually planning to undergo a transgender operation in a few days and become a man.”
“Get lost.” Old Master Lu grabbed the cup on the table and threw it onto the floor. Luckily, the cup was made of plastic, so it would not break even if it was stepped on.
“Why are you here?” Yan Huan yawned as she felt an urge to smoke. Her only hope now was to send this ‘VIP’ away so that she can continue on with her drunk and entranced life.
“I do not need to explain where I want to go.” Old Master Lu stood up from his wheelchair in front of Yan Huan. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand. Yan Huan did not try to avoid him, but she really thought that Old Master Lu was going to hit her.
Just hit me, she thought. She would not dodge it, perhaps a beating would wake her up.
However, she did not feel the pain she expected. Old Master Lu merely put his hand on her hair. “It must have been unwashed for days, so disgusting!” he murmured again, but he still ruffled her hair like she was a child.
Yan Huan could not even remember the last time someone did this so affectionately to her. Yan Huan squinted her eyes, trying to suppress the tears in her eyes.
After her divorce with Lu Yi, she became alone. The only one who came to visit her was not anyone whom she knew, not Yi Ling, not Ye Shuyun, but Old Master Lu.
The old chap she had found disagreeable in both of her lifetimes.
So was he here to scold her or to beat her up?
Old Master Lu returned to his wheelchair and ordered Xiao Song in.
The security guard was sweating heavily when he entered the room.
“Let’s go.” Old Master Lu asked the guard to take hold of his wheelchair, so the guard went over quickly and pushed him out of the room.
Yan Huan just stared at their backs in a daze.
“Why are you still standing there?” Old Master Lu turned his head and looked at Yan Huan like she was a fool.
Yan Huan was really clueless now. “Where am I supposed to be other than here?” This was her home. Even if she was dying, she would want to die right here.
“Come with me.” Old Master Lu was becoming impatient as he raised his voice. Although there was rarely an occasion where he was not impatient and where his voice was not raised. Not only was his voice was loud, he had a bad temper too. He would just hit or scold a person if they dared to disagree with him. Yan Huan was used to seeing this, and she wondered if he was going to beat her up outside.
Whatever. She took nothing with her and left with Old Master Lu. She just could not understand why he insisted on sitting on the wheelchair when he could actually walk just fine. All the Lu family members were indeed peculiar.
She thought that Old Master Lu ordered her to go back with him so that he could punish her. But she was quite wrong. When she stood in the garden at Old Master Lu’s residence, she wondered again why she was brought here.
Perhaps he was not trying to beat her up, but to kill her instead?
But she had done nothing wrong. Her only fault perhaps was committing adultery against his grandson, but his grandson had done the same too. So they were equals now.
As her imagination was running wild, Old Master Lu had brought his teapot along on his wheelchair to enjoy as he bathed in the sun.
Yan Huan had never felt this foolish before. What was she doing being in someone else’s living room without a purpose?
“Miss Yan, this is your room. Please look for me if you need anything else.” The guard opened a door and showed Yan Huan in.
Yan Huan walked into the room. It had a vintage charm to it and the scent of wood filled her nostrils. It had clearly been through the passage of time. It was as if the room had witnessed hundreds of years in time and would continue to do so. She wondered who and which generation of the Lu Family would live here in the future.
She felt overwhelmed that she was allowed to stay in this room. Even Lu Jin and Lu Yi had never received such treatment. How could she?
“I am going to stay here?” She asked hesitantly.
“Yes,” the security nodded. “This is on the boss’s orders.”
“How long am I to live here?” Yan Huan asked again. Is this a form of house arrest? But why would Old Master Lu keep her here? Was there any hatred between them?
“You can stay as long as you wish to, Miss Yan.” The guard smiled. He did not care about Yan Huan’s current status, whether or not she was one of the Lu Family. His attitude would always be the same.
“Even if I am staying here, wouldn’t I need to pack my belongings?”
Yan Huan lowered her head and tugged at her clothes. This was the only clothing she had now, she did not even have a change of clothes.
“I can go and pack them for you now, it is very convenient with the car.”
The guard was still smiling. Even if Yan Huan wanted to be angry, she could not. She could not even feel any anger, it had faded a long time ago.
Was she not living a drunk and entranced life? Why was she not drunk nor entranced? This was not what she imagined.
A short while later, she walked into her designated room with her suitcase.
The room was huge. It felt nothing like a room. It was like an ensuite tiny flat with a bedroom, a study room and a bathroom all in one. And she was living here now.
Actually, wherever she lived would make no difference, but she felt better being here. Yes, perhaps she could get better here.
There was definitely no reporters or visitors here. This seemed to be the best place to live the life she wanted. Unfortunately, Old Master Lu would yell at her if she had even the slightest smell of smoke on her. Even if she wanted to be a degenerate, she would need a suitable environment to be one. If she was going to be yelled at everyday, she would feel like she had arrived at a zoo or a jungle. All her emotions would evolve into helplessness and boredom eventually.
How could she maintain herself in a state of drunkenness and entrance?
“Why have you brought me here?” Yan Huan asked Old Master Lu. “Didn’t you always say that actors are deceitful and prostitutes are heartless? Look at me, did I not achieve what you said? Should you not be happy? Why are you pointing your fingers at me?”
