Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 441 - 439: Stunning Mixed-Race Beauty

"I just arrived in Hai City yesterday and heard this hotel is quite old and full of stories. Shouyue, could you tell me some of them?" Annie Wang asked Lu Shouyue with a charming smile.

Lu Shouyue took a sip of his milk tea and replied leisurely, "Sorry, I can’t help you. Perhaps you need a waiter who knows the hotel well."

He then gestured to a passing waiter and said, "Hello, Miss Annie Wang is very interested in the stories of your hotel. Could you please explain them to her?"

The elegant lady saw Lu Shouyue’s distant demeanor and laughed, "Oh, Shouyue, why are you still so clueless?"

Lu Shouyue smiled faintly and first said to Lin Wanwan, "Wanwan, I’ll have a few words with them first."

Lin Wanwan, who had turned around and wasn’t listening to their conversation, immediately smiled upon hearing Lu Shouyue and said, "Sure, you guys talk."

Then she walked away with her milk tea, leaving the space for them.

Once Lin Wanwan left, the faint smile on Lu Shouyue’s face disappeared. He spoke directly to the elegant lady and the mixed-race beauty, "Sorry, let’s get straight to the point. What do you two want with me?"

Lu Shouyue’s words were very blunt, clearly showing that although the elegant lady claimed to be his aunt, Lu Shouyue did not respect her as an elder.

This wasn’t surprising because the elegant lady had a special status. She was Lu Shouyue’s grandfather’s second wife’s daughter, Lu Junlan. In old society, she would be considered the illegitimate daughter of a concubine.

As the legitimate eldest son’s legitimate grandson, Lu Shouyue wouldn’t have much respect for an aunt with such an awkward status.

However, there was no deadly enmity between the two branches of the family, mainly because Lu Shouyue’s grandmother and grandfather lived in different countries; one stayed abroad while the other returned to Huaxia, so they didn’t constantly fight.

Moreover, Lu Xingjian, as the legitimate eldest son of the Lu family, had little interest in inheriting the Lu Group, whose main strength was abroad. He seized the opportunity during Huaxia’s rebuilding phase and created his own business empire, the Times Group.

The patriotic businessman, Mr. Lu Xinghua, respected his eldest son’s ideas, believing that building the country was indeed a feasible idea. He allocated his entire cash reserve (billions) from his fund to support Lu Xingjian’s entrepreneurship and investments.

The two sons from the second wife then entered the Lu Group headquarters and gradually took over management roles, while the eldest branch only received dividends.

Lu Lao, coming from the old society, carried a slight patriarchal bias and divided most of his wealth among his three sons. In contrast, his two daughters received only some scraps.

Both branches of the family accepted this division farefully, so there were no public disputes over interests—at least not on the surface, maintaining the Lu family’s old-money dignity in society.

Therefore, even after Lu Lao passed away, both branches still maintained connections on significant occasions.

Such as today, for Ye Yinyin’s birthday banquet from the eldest branch, the second branch sent people and gifts to congratulate.

As the youngest daughter of the second wife, Lu Junlan received the least inheritance. Over the years, she repeatedly introduced girlfriends to Lu Shouyue, and even though not a single one succeeded, she persevered and brought beauties to him whenever she had the chance.

Upon hearing Lu Shouyue’s words, Lu Junlan naturally felt displeased, but she wouldn’t show it. She smiled and said, "Oh, Shouyue, what’s wrong today? Didn’t sleep well?"

Lu Shouyue smiled, "I slept very well."

"As long as you slept well," Lu Junlan smiled again and nudged the mixed-race beauty Annie, "Your aunt thinks it’s about time you settle down. Look at Annie, isn’t she a beautiful girl? She’s a Sino-German mixed race. Why don’t you add each other on WeChat..."

"No need." Lu Shouyue interrupted Lu Junlan directly, calmly saying, "Aunt, you don’t need to trouble yourself with such things. If there’s nothing else, please feel free to go ahead. I have things to do, excuse me."

After speaking, he walked away without looking back, leaving the two standing there awkwardly.

"Hey—" Annie Wang raised her hand in an attempt to call him back, but he was already gone.

To be honest, she wasn’t initially interested in this matchmaking at all. It was her parents who got excited upon hearing about meeting the Crown Prince of the Lu family and insisted she come.

Annie Wang had only intended to make a token appearance, flaunt her stunning beauty, and capture everyone’s attention. But after meeting Lu Shouyue in person, she immediately changed her mind.

Lin Wanwan had already mentioned during the social exchange that she and Lu Shouyue were just ordinary friends, not a couple. In some people’s eyes, it meant Lu Shouyue hadn’t acknowledged Lin Wanwan’s status, so everyone still had a chance.

It’s natural for people to think in ways that favor themselves.

In fact, even if Lu Shouyue introduced Lin Wanwan as his fiancée, it wouldn’t stop people from trying to break them up.

After all, he represents not just himself but the immense power behind him. Some might not like handsome lovers, but who could refuse billions in wealth and overwhelming power!

Both the Lu and Ye families are at the pinnacle of the social hierarchy.

Though Annie Wang, as the second princess of a family unable to inherit the family business of Feiniao Shoes, is a classic beauty and rich, she’s still somewhat distant from someone of Lu Shouyue’s stature and isn’t considered an equal match.

However, because she’s a Sino-German mixed race and very beautiful, she never felt anyone was out of her league.

As a top-class beauty, Annie is confident she matches even a prince, as long as she wants to.

The more indifferent Lu Shouyue was, the more interested she became, feeling she had to flirt with him. There’s no wall in the world that can’t be torn down; if there is, it must be because the temptation wasn’t enough.

Talents like Lu Shouyue, capable and tall and handsome, are rare in the elite circle and too good to miss.

Some people, once missed, are gone forever.

With this in mind, Annie Wang said to Lu Junlan, "Aunt Lu, I want to say a few words to Miss Lin."

Lu Junlan glanced at Lin Wanwan, who was happily chatting with the ladies, and said, "Sure, you young people should communicate more."

This was the first beauty Lu Shouyue had brought to a public occasion, stunning the beautiful and wealthy women present, yet slightly rankling them.

They say, fight for second-best, beauty is first-best.

When Lu Shouyue was still single, everyone was curious about his standards.

After today’s meeting, it became clear that men find it hard to resist beauty. Loving a beautiful woman often draws men to her unique charm, and the longer one exposure to a particular beauty, the more it pushes for a change in taste; it’s human nature.

"Hi, hello, I’m Annie Wang. You can call me Annie. What should I call you, Miss?" Annie Wang walked directly to Lin Wanwan’s side.
