Beauty Chairwoman's Bodyguard Expert

"Hong Yue, how can you speak to your mother in that tone? We're doing this for your own good, hoping you can find a suitable husband and lead a happy life."

After hearing Luan Hongyue's words, there was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by Luan Aoxiong's voice again: "Besides, I heard from Red People Club's employees that the third young master values you greatly, and you know how honorable and loyal the third young master is; he's completely worthy of you. Although the third young master has a wife, who in big families doesn't have several wives and concubines? Marrying him would definitely bring you a happy and fulfilling life."

"Enough, have you said enough?"

Luan Hongyue interrupted Luan Aoxiong with an exceptionally cold tone: "For my happiness, don't you find this self-deceptive? Dad, I'm calling you 'Dad' for the last time. Do you really care about your daughter's future happiness? Or is it something else? Do you take me, Luan Hongyue, for a fool? When Jiang Haochen pursued me, you desperately wanted to pair me with him. Do you truly think I'm a fool who knows nothing?"

On the other end of the phone, there was silence; Luan Aoxiong and Zheng Xiu'e didn't speak again. They didn't know what to say, because Luan Hongyue was right; the reason they called was to hope Luan Hongyue could get into bed with Lu Tianxing. As long as she did, they could fully leverage the Lu Family's influence to develop the Luan Family, no longer needing to bow down to anyone in Jiangnan.

Hearing no response from the other side, Luan Hongyue wore a deep mocking smile, unsure whether she was mocking her parents' audacity or mocking herself for being born into this family.

"In your eyes, you only ever see benefits. Do you think I don't know what you've done over the years under the guise of concern for me? I just didn't want to speak of it. If Jiang Haochen wanted to pursue me instead of taking advantage of me, would you have tied me up without hesitation and sent me to his bed? And if I resisted, you wouldn't hesitate to become his accomplice."

"Hong Yue, what do you mean by that? We merely want you to have a better future..."

"A better future?"

Luan Hongyue laughed hysterically: "Do you think you're qualified to say that? From childhood to now, I've struggled to prove myself, but have you ever looked at me and praised me even once? Have you ever comforted me when I suffered outside? No, never."

"For over twenty years, you've never fulfilled even a bit of parental responsibility. Since you've driven me out of the Luan Family and dissolved our father-daughter relationship, then completely leave my world. I've lived too tired for more than twenty years, feeling like a puppet rather than a person. Now I'm finally free, and I no longer want to care about anyone's opinion or face. I just want to live for myself."

Luan Aoxiong remained silent before speaking again: "No matter what, you are still my daughter..."

"Your daughter?"

Upon hearing this, Luan Hongyue laughed wildly: "Luan Aoxiong, when you say this, can you honestly claim that you've fulfilled even the slightest responsibility of a father in over twenty years? You've always regarded me as a tool to exploit, not a person. Now that it's come to this, let's be clear: from the moment you expelled me from the Luan Family, we had no relationship left, and you shouldn't seek me out from now on. Moreover, do you think the third young master would care for another opportunist? He's surrounded by countless beauties far prettier than I am. Do you think he'd care for me? Give up your attempts to use me to connect with the Lu Family!"

"It's your first time, what are you scared of? Anyway, he's lustful, don't you know that? As long as you get close to Lu Tianxing, our Luan Family can thrive in Jiangnan, and we won't fear even the Jiang Family, do you understand?" Luan Aoxiong bluntly stated, no longer hiding anything.

"I don't know, and I don't want to know."

Luan Hongyue said coldly: "Didn't you drive me out of the Luan Family? I'm no longer your daughter, so why should I listen to you? What qualification do you have to order me around? The life and death of the Luan Family have nothing to do with me since you've never treated me as part of the family."

"You insolent girl, Luan Hongyue, how dare you speak to me like this! So what if I drove you out of the Luan Family? I'm telling you, I'm your father, you have my blood, I gave you life. No matter what, you are still my daughter. I'm giving you one last chance now, immediately turn back and ingratiate yourself with Lu Tianxing, or else..."

Before Luan Aoxiong could finish, Luan Hongyue cut him off without mercy: "Or else what, kill me? Luan Aoxiong, would you dare? Kill me, maybe the third young master would seek revenge for me, so you wouldn't dare, nor do you have the guts. You're right, you gave me life, but in your eyes, life can be bought with money. So over these years, I've already paid for my life, have I not? Moreover, are you qualified to say that, not to mention the past? Let's speak of now, I walked out of the Jiang Family alive. If you have any conscience, you would ask about my experiences there, but you didn't. You only care if I can bring benefits to the Luan Family."

"You're unharmed, aren't you? That means you're safe and sound." Luan Aoxiong said somewhat defensively.

"You're right; I'm perfectly fine now, but that's just good luck. Do you know what would happen if the third young master hadn't come today? I would have wished I were dead. Jiang Haochen found a dozen beggars to defile me and wanted to record it all. Do you know what that means for a woman? It means a fate worse than death, do you understand?"

Luan Hongyue said hysterically: "You never cared about my life or death. Even if I died today, you probably wouldn't look at me because ever since I offended Jiang Haochen, I've been a burden in your eyes. Luan Aoxiong, this is the last time I'm using this phone number. From now on, I have no relationship with the Luan Family. Of course, you can come for me, bind me, and take me back, but only if you're not afraid of the third young master's wrath, then go ahead and try."

After finishing her words, Luan Hongyue grabbed the phone and hurled it fiercely toward the nearby moat.
