The sun was shining brightly in the sky.
Ning Wan went to work in a good mood, humming a tune. Her father was on a company trip and her mother, as his spouse, was accompanying him. Mother dearest was not at home, so no one would force her to go on the blind date tomorrow.
Ning Wan was in a very good mood.
"Hey, have you heard that the Lu family is going to hold a public audition for a bride?"
The company's tea room was always buzzing with gossip and news. Ning Wan held a cup of coffee and leaned against the window, listening lazily.
"For the most wealthy man in the Lu family?" There was a sparkle of hope in the eyes of the administrative office's female colleagues.
The Lu family was the richest family in Jiang City. Legend had it that they owned assets and riches that could compete with the government's own resources. Not only that, but the sons of the Lu family inherited excellent genes. All of them were extraordinarily handsome and looked like male fashion models.
If she could marry them...
"Don't dream about it. They're searching for a bride for Lu Yiwei!"
"What???"
The girls, who had been fangirling just now, suddenly became quiet and even showed fear and panic on their faces.
"Oh, that cripple, I don't want to marry him."
"That's right. Everyone knows that Lu Yiwei is the least favored person in the Lu family. In the future, he may not even have a share of the Lu family's property. Besides, who knows if he can perform in the bedroom? I'm not going to be a grass widow at such a young age."
"You're right."
The group of people echoed their agreements and dispersed one after another.
Ning Wan was still leaning against the window, slowly enjoying the coffee, but her mind was working at high speed.
Cripple, sexually dysfunctional... but rich?
"Oh, my god!"
Her eyes suddenly lit up. Wasn't this just in line with her unique criteria for choosing a partner?
When she returned to her office, she searched for information on the Lu family's bride audition on her computer. She did see an official announcement for it. It was in room 808, Meidu Hotel, before 5 p.m. for an interview!
Ning Wan's hand, which gripped her mouse, was trembling.
"To go, or not to go?"
If she didn't go, when her mother came back, she would continue to force her to go on blind dates and meet those weird, dodgy men. As long as she didn't get married, there would be no end to this kind of life.
If she did go, would it be too impulsive and risky?
The two people in her mind were fighting, and she grasped her head in frustration.
What should she do???
Half an hour later, Ning Wan ran out of the company building, got into a taxi, and promptly left the premises.
Anyway, let's have a try first. She did come up with this idea, but they might not even take a fancy to her, right?
After arriving at the Meidu Hotel, Ning Wan took the elevator to the eighth floor and pressed the doorbell.
It was a young woman who opened the door. She wore a pair of black-framed glasses and was well-dressed in professional attire. She stared at Ning Wan closely for half a minute and then turned to the side to make way for her. "Come in."
There was no one else in the deluxe suite. The woman asked Ning Wan to sit down and opened the folder in her hand in a business-like manner. "Your name, age, height, weight, tell me all your hobbies."
Ning Wan smiled and answered one by one.
The woman made her stand straight and took a picture, and then let her go.
Ning Wan stood in the corridor and turned around to look at the room. Touching her head, she smiled to herself. Even if this bride audition was ridiculous, she was the stupider one. She actually believed it and ran over eagerly.
Wow, she must have really been tired of her mother's continuous bombardment of blind dates.
She was 25 years old. Although she was no longer a budding flower, at least it was still a blooming flower, not a dying flower.
"Sigh!"
Sighing faintly, Ning Wan shook her head and walked towards the elevator. When she thought of her ridiculous behavior, she still found it laughable.
The elevator stopped on the seventh floor, and a man wrapped in a black trench coat came in. He lowered his head and stood behind Ning Wan.
The elevator door slowly closed, and the reflective door showed the man standing behind her. He stood there shrouded in black, barely moving at all, emanating an ominous aura. Ning Wan felt a chill on her back and then nudged towards the elevator door discreetly.
The light in the elevator suddenly flashed, and the entire elevator shook violently, making a clanking sound. The elevator stopped moving.
Hmm? At a time like this, it was spoilt.
Somehow, Ning Wan felt a chill behind her.
She could not use the telephone in the elevator, and neither did the elevator alarm work. She leaned back against the wall of the elevator and carefully pulled out her cell phone from her bag.
"No way! There's no signal at all!"
Ning Wan was speechless. She turned on the flashlight of her cell phone. When she caught sight of the man standing still from the corner of her eyes, she felt a burst of fear in her heart. 'After he came in, the elevator failed. Look at him, he's clothed in black all over. Don't tell me he's something unworldly?'
She shrank her body and silently moved to the side, not daring to breathe out loud. At this moment, the man suddenly looked up. Ning Wan's mobile phone was facing him, which lit up a blue face mask with tusks, with a blood-red tongue sticking out.
"Ahhhhhhh... Ghost!"
Ning Wan screamed and fainted immediately...
