Reborn Aristocrat: Oppressing

Chapter 173: Satisfying Court (9)

But at that moment, Lu Manman had a strange feeling. She felt like Mo Yuanxiu was not joking when he said he wanted to skin those people alive.

“Miss Lu, your father’s case was won so well. Is there anything you want to say?”

“There’s nothing much to say. I just hope that the court will clear my father’s name as soon as possible. My father isn’t young anymore, and he won’t be able to withstand this torture. Of course, I also hope that the court will bring those criminals to justice.” With that, she glanced at Wen Yun, who was still standing there. Hatred flashed across her eyes.

Wen Yun seemed to sense her gaze as well.

He narrowed her eyes.

Was she provoking him?!

Lu Manman, do not think that you have the right to provoke me just because you have won the case.

He swallowed his anger and smiled. He walked over and said gently, “Manman, congratulations.”

Wen Yun’s sudden appearance made the reporters recall his existence. Moreover, seeing the two of them appear in the same frame made them uncontrollably excited.

Lu Manman glanced at him.

“I’m really glad that Uncle is alright. I’ve been so worried all this while. It’s good that you’re alright too.” Wen Yun did not seem to mind Lu Manman’s estrangement, and he seemed sincere as he spoke.

He was still so good at acting?!

Wen Yun, have you not had enough of slapping yourself in the face?!

Lu Manman smiled beautifully. “Thank you.”

“No matter what, we’re still friends.” Wen Yun smiled at her and then looked up at Mo Yuanxiu.

This man always appeared nonchalant about everything.

He had hated this frivolous side of Mo Yuanxiu ever since they were in the same class! It was as if he did not care about anything at all and was just a silkpants!

“And congratulations to the both of you for getting married soon,” Wen Yun said sincerely as if he had already let go of everything.

With that, he even put his hand out as if he was prepared to make peace with her in front of the reporters.

Lu Manman simply smiled.

She looked at the fair and clean hand before her.

Wen Yun was indeed smart enough to use this method to improve his image.

If she did not shake his hand, people might think she was being petty.

But if she shook his hands, it would be fulfilling Wen Yun’s scheme.

But at this point, there seemed to be only one option!

She pursed her lips and gritted her teeth, about to put her hand out.

Mo Yuanxiu suddenly pulled her into his arms, and it was obvious that he wanted to stop her from doing it.

Everyone looked at him.

The reporters, Wen Yun, and even Lu Manman.

He smiled calmly and said directly, “I don’t think I can forgive those who have hurt Manman so easily.”

Wen Yun furrowed his brows.

“Manman is kindhearted and doesn’t mind, but that doesn’t mean that her kindness can be used by others. I’m sorry, Young Master Wen, but we don’t accept your blessings.”

Wen Yun’s expression darkened. Mo Yuanxiu’s rude and sarcastic remarks placed him in an awkward position.

“Moreover… Even if I’m being selfish, I can’t stand seeing another man touch Manman’s hand. I get jealous easily.” His words seemed to mock Wen Yun for not knowing his limits.

No woman should be casually touched by a man!

Wen Yun’s expression darkened further. He glared at Mo Yuanxiu but did not say a word.
