Fatal Preference

Chapter 9

At this moment, Shang Lu was about to vomit to the point of delirium.

He covered his stomach with one hand, and with a sulky look on his face, he glared angrily at the Lai family members under the hall corridor, thinking that they were going to kick him out of the house.

While the angry words were still fermenting on his lips, the iron gates behind him once again opened to both sides.

A fresh breeze whisked across his eyes, and on the green-lined road outside the door, the imposing luxury caravan crushed the road and came into view.

At this moment, the first car slowly stops, the driver gets out and jogs to the back side, bends down to open the door and covers the roof of the car with one hand, respectfully speaking, "Master, the Li family has arrived."

Shang Yu had arrived!

Just a moment before Shang Lu was given a hard time, Lai Guangming received a call from Shang Yu's beloved Liu Yun.

For today's marriage withdrawal, the Southern Ocean Overlord had personally come.

Even as the richest man in the Southern Ocean, over the years, Lai Guangming and Shang Yu had only met once.

It was still five years ago.

Now, across the mottled years, the over-hundred-year-old Lai Guangming still had appreciation and scorn for Shang Shaoyan.

In the back seat of the carriage, the long legs in black trousers took the lead, followed by Shang Yu's straight and long body leaning out without haste.

The man's lips slightly pursed, clear contours of the handsome face rolled with a trace of cold and heavy, biting eyes deep and dark, standing next to the body of the car, so that the surrounding air are wrapped with a chill.

I don't know why, when Lai Pretty saw him for the first time, she felt that he seemed to be in a bad mood.

Shang Yu was still wearing a pure black shirt, with the cuffs rolled up to his arms, and the collar open with three buttons, serious but with a flamboyant wildness.

His gaze across the crowd easily captured Lai Pretty by the side of Lai Cheng.

Only for a second, the line of sight moved away, he signalled to the driver beside him for a moment, after which the other party went to the boot to take out a number of gift boxes.

At this time, Shang Lu, who was forcibly holding back the dry-heaving, came to Shang Yu in front of him with a messy pace, and complained with anger and rage, "Big brother, they ......"

Shang Yu did not have any expression, his eyes were sharp as he turned his head sideways, a strong pressure came, instantly causing Shang Lu to suck in a breath of cold air and swallow all his complaints.

At this time, Lai Guangming had already brought Duan Shuyuan to the door to greet him, after a lapse of five years, this Southern Ocean Underground Overlord in front of him was more introverted and calm than in the past, but the lofty reserve on his body was more and more compelling.

"Mr Lai, excuse me."

Shang Yu looked at Lai Guangming and took the lead in nodding and opening his mouth.

The man's mellow voice was like a fine wine in the throat, causing people to be slightly intoxicated.

"Mr Shang, I'm not disturbing you, let's go inside."

Li Guangming's attitude towards Shang Yu could be said to be very polite, even overly enthusiastic.

In front of this bigwig of the Diffractive Emperor Group, who had his hands on the economic lifelines of Southern Ocean, the status of the richest man of the Lai family was actually not worth mentioning.

At this moment, Lai Pretty stood beside the porch pillar in the foyer, looking at Shang Yu passing by, a faint smell of tobacco coming in, a little confusing.

Obviously, Third Brother also smokes, and so does Lai Shaoquan, but it seems that he is the only one who smells surprisingly good.

Li Shaoxiao turned her face away and laughed silently, and followed behind the group.

As for Shang Lu, he was left in front of the door dry heaving ...... himself unattended.

......

In the living room, the atmosphere is particularly serious.

Lai Pretty was the last one to enter, and the hall that was usually so empty that it could be run in, right now looked cramped and narrow because of Shang Yu's presence.

The man sat with his legs folded in the main double sofa, even if he was silent, his aura was still so powerful that it could devour heaven and earth.

Lai Pretty looked around, each sofa was seated, parents sat together, three brothers were seated on a single sofa, leaving only Shang Yu's side still have a place.

In this case, she did not hesitate to walk forward, next to Shang Yu sat down, and by the way, greeted, "Hi, Master Diffraction."

Li Qiao smiled lightly and opened her mouth, and the large living room was instantly quiet as a pin drop could be heard.

Li Guangming's eyes travelled around Li Qiao and Shang Yu, fearing that his precious daughter had angered this big brother, he hurriedly opened his mouth to change the topic, "Mr. Shang's great presence has really made our Li family's house shine!"

The whole family: "......"

You are at least the richest man, can you calm down a bit?

Lai Pretty sighed helplessly, crossed her beautiful legs and leaned on the back of the sofa.

Today she wore a pair of grey jeans with a simple white t-shirt, the hem of her short sleeves tucked into her waistband, casual and leisurely.

Especially those folded legs, thin and long, and and Shang Yu's sitting posture is the same.

At this moment, Shang Yu glanced towards the driver on the side and said in a mellow, thick tone, "Mr Lai, regarding the withdrawal of Shang Lu and your daughter from the marriage, I would like to express my personal apologies."

The tone of voice was unhurried and the attitude was gentle and courteous.

The driver also placed the gift box in his hand on the marble coffee table in due time.

Lai Guangming's face stagnated, his smile slightly converged, "So ...... this marriage is really going to be returned?"

Lai Pretty: "????"

Shang Yu took the teacup from the servant's hand, his slender fingertips took the lid and rattled the tea leaves, "I believe that all of you have already heard of Shang Lu's illness, and I'm afraid that this is the only way for now."

"Then may I ask if old Mr Shang knows that he has to withdraw from the marriage?" At this moment, a trace of gravity flowed from the bottom of Lai Guangming's eyes, his brows knitted tightly, it did not seem to be a fake.

Lai Pretty motionlessly sized up Lai Guangming, the suspicion that had long been suppressed in her heart once again swept over her.

At this time, Shang Yu sipped a mouthful of black tea, slowly raised his eyes, and Lai Guangming's line of sight, "My father does not know at the moment, tomorrow I will set off back to Parma, and convey it on his behalf."

Lai Guangming and Duan Shuyuan looked at each other cryptically, the moment the two exchanged lines of sight, Lai Pretty suddenly let out a light laugh and spoke surprisingly, "That's very good, then I'll trouble Master Diffractor."

As the words fell, Shang Yu slightly side-eyed, while the girl beside him raised her eyebrows and smiled wryly.

"Sassy!"

Lai Guangming lightly exclaimed with a serious face, and although it wasn't quite an angry rebuke, dissatisfaction had appeared in his eyes.

Seeing this, Lai Pretty narrowed her eyes and rubbed her nails, her delicate and flamboyant eyebrows looking pale, "Dad, was I wrong?"

In fact, Ri Pretty easily read out certain messages from her parents' expressions, this doll marriage they simply did not want to return.

In the end, because of what?

At this moment, Lai Guangming looked at Lai Pretty's probing eyes and knew deep down that he had given away too much of his emotions.

He stretched his expression and then said to Shang Yu, "Mr Shang, can we go upstairs to talk about it in detail?"

Shang Yu's thumb rubbed the green-glazed teacup, his gaze falling on the girl's white-as-condensation face, he nodded slightly and agreed in a deep voice, "That's fine."

......

A little while later, the figures of Li Guangming and Shang Yu disappeared at the mouth of the spiral staircase on the first floor.

With one hand propped on her head, Li Qiao idly looked askance at Duan Shuyuan, "Mom, do you guys not want me and Shang Lu to withdraw from the marriage?"

Duan Shuyuan gathered the hair around her ears, and retorted in a speechless manner, "How could that be, there is no such thing."

Big brother Lijun looked around, took a breath, and also asked, "But I also feel that Dad's attitude just now was a bit strange!"

"Mum, are you and dad hiding something from us? Shang Lu clearly doesn't want to marry Pretty Pretty, I see that you and dad still seem to be very insistent, what ...... allusion is there to this doll's marriage?" Lai Yan also asked after him with a bewildered face.

Duan Shuyuan flickered God, fiercely white Li Yan a glance, "can have what allusion? It's not just a long, long time ago ......"

Here we go again!

Every time, when Lai Pretty or a few of her brothers asked about the origins of the doll's marriage, Mom and Dad would always use this tone of voice to stall.

At this time, Lai Cheng had little patience and directly interrupted Duan Shuyuan's words, his voice low and cold: "Mum, in that case, let's just return this marriage.

Today, Shang Shaoyan appeared in place of Shang Lu, I think he intends to protect his brother, it seems that I have to think of some other ways to take the heat for Pretty."

The unique welcoming ceremony outside the door today was Lai Cheng's handiwork, and was the first 'meeting gift' given to Shang Lu.

As for the enchanting woman disguised as a servant, she was the first general under his command: Nan Jie.
