As time passed by without anyone noticing, it was afternoon. Watching the employees of Victory Group leave work one by one, Lu Yu smiled slightly, revealing a faint smile on his face.

Lu Yu once heard a saying that "Ordinary is a blessing." In his younger days, he was arrogant and unruly, thinking that life was meant to be squandered, never truly understanding the meaning of this phrase.

But now, after experiencing five years of dark and bloody history, he finally understood the meaning of this saying, showing a helpless bitter smile on his face.

This world has never had a cure for regret. With the past five years of dark and bloody experiences, Lu Yu was destined to be unrelated to the word "ordinary."

Thinking of this, Lu Yu shook his head and headed straight to the parking lot as usual.

For some reason, Lu Yu didn't want to drive today; he just wanted to walk and enjoy this rare leisurely time.

Walking away from Victory Group, Lu Yu unknowingly found himself on Lin'an City's bar street. Looking at the familiar scene in front of him, he exhaled slowly, traces of nostalgia appearing on his face.

Five years ago, he often indulged in debauchery with a group of friends here. Recalling himself from five years ago, he felt quite foolish.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu smiled, shook his head, and was about to continue walking when suddenly, a white Porsche Cayenne stopped directly in front of him.

Seeing the Porsche Cayenne, Lu Yu frowned, preparing to turn around and bypass it.

However, at that moment, the car door suddenly opened, and a stylishly dressed, pretty woman stepped out. Upon seeing Lu Yu, she said, "Oh, isn't this Young Master Lu?"

The words were flirtatious, with a hint of allure, sounding very abrupt.

"Zhang Ruxue?"

Hearing the coquettish voice of the woman in front of him, Lu Yu slightly frowned, showing a hint of surprise.

Even Lu Yu hadn't expected that his spontaneous decision to take a stroll would lead him to encounter Zhang Ruxue today.

Zhang Ruxue is the daughter of the boss of a medium-sized enterprise in Lin'an City. Five years ago, she was also one of Lu Yu's drinking and partying friends.

Five years ago, Zhang Ruxue even pursued Lu Yu fiercely for a while, but at that time, Lu Yu's heart was only for Leng Qingqiu, and he did not accept Zhang Ruxue.

After the Lu Family encountered changes, Zhang Ruxue, like the other fair-weather friends, vanished without a trace. Later, Lu Yu was knocked unconscious and discarded on Paradise Island, gradually forgetting the matter.

Even Lu Yu hadn't expected to meet Zhang Ruxue here today.

Hearing Lu Yu mention her name, Zhang Ruxue showed a smile and looked at Lu Yu's very ordinary clothes, revealing a mocking smile in her eyes.

The once high-profile Young Master Lu of Lin'an City, who only wore brand names, was now heading home in ordinary clothes. This sight filled Zhang Ruxue's heart with an inexplicable pleasure.

"I didn't expect Young Master Lu to still remember me."

Looking at Lu Yu in ordinary clothes, Zhang Ruxue laughed and said, "But I didn't expect that after your maritime accident, you could still come back alive. This must mean great fortune, doesn't it?"

Zhang Ruxue's tone revealed a bit of frivolity. She was inherently a very opportunistic person, having chased after Lu Yu five years ago only because she fancied the enormous wealth and status of the Lu Family, without any real affection for Lu Yu.

This was precisely why, after the Lu Family encountered changes five years ago, she disappeared just like Lu Yu's other fair-weather friends.

Hearing Zhang Ruxue's odd tone, Lu Yu's eyes flickered, and he smiled slightly, indifferent to it.

At this time, he didn't want to bother with Zhang Ruxue, not to mention she was a woman.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu was about to say something.

Just then, a tall man got out from the Cayenne and, looking at Zhang Ruxue, said, "Ruxue, a friend? Why not introduce us?"

As he spoke, the man came to Zhang Ruxue's side, wrapped an arm around her waist, and looked Lu Yu up and down, displaying a smile.

"My boyfriend."

Being embraced by the man, Zhang Ruxue showed a coquettish smile and said to Lu Yu, "The young master of Shangcheng International Real Estate in Lin'an City, Miao Jian."

"Pleasure to meet you."

Upon hearing Zhang Ruxue's introduction, Lu Yu nodded and said lightly, a sense of calm in his words.

"Dear, let me introduce you."

Seeing Lu Yu's demeanor, Zhang Ruxue smiled slightly and said to the man beside her, "This is the former high-profile Young Master of the Lu Family in Lin'an City, Lu Yu!"

Zhang Ruxue's voice became increasingly frivolous, and especially as she mentioned 'Young Master of the Lu Family,' her tone was notably heavier, creating a very strange feeling.

"So it's Young Master Lu."

Hearing Zhang Ruxue, Miao Jian held Zhang Ruxue's waist tightly and, looking at Lu Yu, smiled and said, "I've heard of the Lu Family's former glory. That incident was truly unfortunate. But I wonder where Young Master Lu is working now?"

Miao Jian's tone carried a hint of disdain, clearly not taking Lu Yu seriously.

"I wouldn't call it working."

Hearing Miao Jian's words, Lu Yu said calmly, "I'm a security manager at a company, just making some money to spend."

These words, spoken by Lu Yu with an air of ease, only intensified the disdain in the hearts of Zhang Ruxue and Miao Jian while amplifying their sense of satisfaction.

The once high-profile Young Master of the Lu Family now had to work as a security guard to make a living. Such circumstances made Zhang Ruxue and Miao Jian's frivolous pleasure swell even more.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yu also returned a cold smile.

This world never lacks clever people, but equally, it doesn't lack self-righteous fools. Zhang Ruxue and Miao Jian in front of him were clearly the latter!

Five years ago, when the Lu Family was at its peak, Zhang Ruxue fawned over him endlessly, even lowering herself to chase him like a dog. Lu Yu still remembered Zhang Ruxue's sycophantic demeanor.

When his family met with disaster, Zhang Ruxue was the first to run away.

Past events he wouldn't pursue, as revenge was a more pressing matter now.

And now, without giving them attention, these two had the audacity to cynically mock him, displaying the despicable demeanor of a treacherous couple. Zhang Ruxue and Miao Jian portrayed it vividly.
