Chapter 32 Manta Rose My wife is so cute, so petite...
Lu Yanzhou's eyes were cold and devoid of warmth, and a mocking smile curled his lips.
"Who do you think you are, that I would want to take revenge on you?"
The young man, feeling embarrassed, glanced at Xia Weiwei, who had already been given a mask by Lu Yanzhou.
"Third Brother, if I'm really nothing, why do you suppress me at every turn and prevent me from joining the head office?"
"Third Brother, you're just afraid. You're afraid that if I join the head office, I'll take your position."
"Third brother, it's always been like this since we were little. Whatever I like, you either get it before me, or you destroy it."
"Haven't you done this many times before?" the young man asked, his face gloomy.
Xia Weiwei discovered that although his eyes were exactly the same as Lu Yanzhou's, his overall temperament was completely different from Lu Yanzhou's.
Lu Yanzhou was arrogant, exuding an air of arrogance, unruliness, and free spirit. He was tall and thin, looking as if he could be blown over by the wind. Most importantly, he wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses, like a snake lurking in a dark corner.
Xia Weiwei shuddered at the thought.
Lu Yanzhou sensed something was wrong with the girl in his arms. For the first time, she didn't confront him and instead took Xia Weiwei and left.
The young man grabbed her arm, and Xia Weiwei stopped abruptly due to the resistance. She turned around and couldn't help but smile.
This scene was exactly the same as the one she had witnessed that morning when she prevented Lu Yuanying from being pulled away by Feng Ling.
A short while later, she gave a warning look from the upper left corner, and she immediately withdrew her smile.
"Teacher Xia, do you still remember the scene when Lu Yanzhou stood on the second floor and slandered you when you first came to Gangcheng to participate in an event?"
Of course she remembers.
"That's because the day before you came, I said I was your fan, and Third Brother said you came to belittle me."
Well……
This scene feels somewhat familiar.
Just like Gu Qianyue liked Lu Yanzhou, she pulled Lu Yanzhou into bed to provoke Gu Qianyue.
"Teacher Xia..." the young man was about to say when his fist came flying at his face.
Bang-
A solid punch.
In Xia Weiwei's perception, Lu Yanzhou rarely lost control.
Lu Yanzhou's actions alarmed the people inside the amusement park. They rushed over and saw that it was Lu Yanzhou who was making the move, but none of them dared to step in and stop the fight.
The young man was as thin as a stick and didn't even have the strength to fight back under Lu Yanzhou's heavy punches.
Xia Weiwei grabbed Lu Yanzhou's arm worriedly.
hiss-
Someone dares to stop Young Master Lu.
Even if it's Lu Yanzhou's wife, it might not be of any use.
"Don't hit him, don't hit him, someone will die."
Xia Weiwei couldn't stop him. Lu Yanzhou usually gets up at 6:30, works out for an hour, and starts making breakfast at 7:30.
Her strength was no match for Lu Yanzhou; it was less than a kitten scratching an itch.
Seeing this, Feng Ling scoffed in a low voice, "Does she really think she's something special?"
Feng Ling's little follower chimed in: "Yeah, judging from the way she talks, she's not from Hong Kong. What young lady from the capital would be willing to have a secret marriage with Lu Yanzhou? Maybe she's not good enough in terms of status."
"It's really not presentable, a prostitute." Feng Ling thought of this and spoke arrogantly, but her voice was soft and her followers did not hear her clearly.
"Aya, what did you say?"
“I said…” Feng Ling was about to speak when she remembered the phone call she received from Lu Yanzhou at noon.
"Third Young Master, you still remember that there's someone else in Hong Kong?" Her tone was arrogant, and the displeasure she felt from Xia Weiwei vanished. But when she heard Lu Yanzhou's words, a chill ran down her spine.
“Feng Ling, Xia Weiwei is my wife, whom I rightfully married and went to great lengths to bring back. If I find out again that you are talking nonsense in front of my wife and trying to ruin our marriage, then Hong Kong may not have your Feng family.”
Lu Yanzhou usually doesn't talk much to her, so it's unusual for him to say so much in one go.
If he says he can do it, he will.
Lu Yanzhou was protecting Xia Weiwei.
However, haven't the two frequently made headlines in Beijing due to their discord?
Feng Ling felt a lingering chill, and then she heard Lu Yanzhou say—
"I'm playing a secret marriage game with my wife. If you dare to reveal to the public that Xia Weiwei is my wife, you know what will happen."
Lu Yanzhou spoke lightly, but she broke out in a cold sweat.
Feng Ling stopped talking and her expression turned sour. Her little follower asked her in a fawning tone why she looked so bad, saying that someone had said Lu Yanzhou had stopped.
"Lu Yanzhou, I'm scared!"
Xia Weiwei called out, her voice trembling.
Lu Yanzhou truly stopped, and at that moment, the young man was curled up on the ground after being beaten.
Lu Yanzhou's peach blossom eyes held a fierce rage. He slowly looked at Xia Weiwei, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened them again. Xia Weiwei saw her familiar gentleness.
"I'm sorry, I startled you."
Xia Weiwei pursed her lips, looking at him nervously.
"It's too late, it's time for you to go to bed. I should go back and tell you a fairy tale."
Xia Weiwei gave a soft "hmm".
Lu Yanzhou clasped her hand between his fingers, and before leaving, he glanced at the dying man on the ground.
"Throw him into Victoria Harbour."
He gave the order, and bodyguards in black suits stepped forward and carried the young man away.
"Sorry to interrupt everyone's enjoyment."
The surroundings were completely silent; everyone was still in shock.
Two or three minutes after Lu Yanzhou finished speaking, he frowned and uttered a soft "Hmm?" A man stepped forward.
"Young Master Lu, what are you saying? It was my fault for not keeping a close eye on people and bringing Lu Jingchen along."
The person who was beaten is named Lu Jingchen, Xia Weiwei thought to herself.
"It's also my fault for causing unpleasantness for everyone. Tonight, all the expenses for the cruise ship..."
"There's no need for Young Master Lu to pay. You're underestimating the Zheng family."
Lu Yanzhou was too lazy to waste time with their endless chatter. Seeing the girl's thick eyelashes drooping uncontrollably, he said in a nonchalant tone, "I'm leaving."
Everyone on the cruise ship came to see them off. She and Lu Yanzhou boarded the cruise ship at 8:30 and disembarked at 10:00.
At ten o'clock in Victoria Harbour, the sea breeze was already cool. Lu Yanzhou was afraid that Xia Weiwei would be exposed to the cold if he rode the motorcycle back, so he had someone bring his private cruise ship over.
As Xia Weiwei boarded the cruise ship, she clearly heard a splash, and an object was thrown into the sea.
She instinctively looked toward the source of the sound, but her eyes were covered.
Led by Lu Yanzhou, she walked back to her room.
"Would you like to stay on the cruise ship tonight, or go home?"
"Go home and live there."
Living here, she wonders if there are any corpses in the sea.
On the way back, Xia Weiwei noticed that Lu Yanzhou didn't seem inclined to speak, and she didn't want to press him about what Lu Jingchen meant.
It's all in the past.
The most important thing right now is to focus on the present moment.
After returning home, Xia Weiwei said she was going to wash up. Halfway through her shower, the bathroom door opened, and Xia Weiwei nervously covered her private parts.
"Lu Yanzhou?"
She called out tentatively, and Lu Yanzhou appeared naked in front of her.
This was so, so, so unexpected!
Xia Weiwei turned her gaze away and saw Lu Yanzhou's shadow reflected on the wall.
Yes, Lu Yanzhou is quite noticeable; he's already made his presence felt.
"Honey, it's been so long since we took a shower together."
Not long!
They never shower together!
Of course, this was after becoming pregnant.
But before she got pregnant, Lu Yanzhou would only carry her after they had showered together, when she was too exhausted to do so.
Xia Weiwei nervously backed away, and the man's feet came into her view.
His feet are huge, probably twice the size of hers.
You're avoiding me.
Xia Weiwei didn't say anything. The shower water was falling on her, making it impossible for her to open her eyes.
Lu Yanzhou noticed her discomfort, grabbed her arms with both hands, lifted her up, and placed her in the shower.
Did I scare you today?
Xia Weiwei shook her head.
"So, it was his words that created a distance between you and me?"
No, that's not it either.
"Gu Xianyue, I did not use you to get revenge on him."
“He did say the night before that he was your fan and that he liked you, but the next day, I wasn’t going to Wanlong Mall, but something came up and I went there to deal with it. Before I left, I saw you attending an event on the second floor.”
"Even now, I still remember you in a pale yellow dress, your hair styled in big curls and cascading down your back, your every smile radiant, but what I saw most was the sadness in your eyes."
“Xia Weiwei, you were unhappy then, but you were forcing a smile, just like a Barbie doll forced to work in a shop window.”
"That's why I said you're suitable to be enshrined and used as a display piece."
What.
Xia Weiwei was surprised that Lu Yanzhou could see her displeasure at that time, even though she was smiling beautifully.
"After that, we started arguing online."
I don't know when it started, but arguing has become a kind of fun and something he looks forward to.
Every time he sees her making fun of herself online, he feels like Barbie has come to life and gained some kind of spirit.
He even gets happy when she teases him.
Lu Yanzhou spoke at length, leaving the girl in front of him staring at him, as if her soul had been ripped away.
"Are you stupid?"
"You didn't hear a single word and still think I'm using you?"
"Xia Weiwei, I really took advantage of you. I told Lu Jingchen the first time we slept together."
Lu Yanzhou flicked Xia Weiwei's forehead, and Xia Weiwei winced in pain, glaring at Lu Yanzhou.
"I'm not thinking about this."
"Besides, I'd feel a little better if you took advantage of me."
She always felt indebted to him.
"Who wants this kind of debt from you!" Lu Yanzhou stared straight at her, as if trying to see into her heart.
He actually saw it.
Xia Weiwei's heart skipped a beat. Was he a mind reader now?
"Gu Xianyue, we are husband and wife, neither of us owes the other anything!" The man was about to flick her forehead again, but she was afraid of the pain, so she quickly stopped him with her hand.
It took two small hands to completely envelop his large hand, and Lu Yanzhou found it more and more adorable the more he looked at it.
"I was spacing out just now because you knew I was unhappy the moment you looked at me."
“I originally didn’t have a collaboration with Hong Kong City. It was Gu Qianyue who wanted to come to Hong Kong City, but she had no excuse to come. She insisted on adding this event to my already full schedule.”
"After I found out, I told Gu Yousheng, but Gu Yousheng only cared about how much money I could make after participating in this event."
“I couldn’t come because my dress had an accident the night before, and Liang Yun’s expression changed.”
"Fortunately, Linlang is in Hong Kong and managed to get me a dress."
Looking back now, Xia Weiwei can recount it with remarkable composure.
But Lu Yanzhou felt uneasy listening to this.
After Xia Weiwei finished speaking, she looked up and met the man's pained gaze.
"What kind of look is that?" Xia Weiwei mimicked Lu Yanzhou's gesture of pinching her cheek, and pinched Lu Yanzhou's cheek. Lu Yanzhou winced in pain, but his eyes were still full of heartache.
"Don't I have your protection now, and I'm no longer being exploited by them?"
"Everything is truly, truly over."
Xia Weiwei tiptoed and kissed Lu Yanzhou's lips.
Even at that moment, the man's eyes still showed tenderness, but his body remained incredibly rigid.
Xia Weiwei: "..."
Xia Weiwei remained silent, almost fooled by his affectionate appearance.
Xia Weiwei nudged Lu Yanzhou, but Lu Yanzhou's body was as tall as a mountain, clearly beyond her size to move.
When the two looked at each other again, the winter snow melted away with their burning body heat, and all that remained was the vibrant feeling of spring.
If she didn't kiss him now, she would truly be letting down Lu Yanzhou's handsome appearance.
Xia Weiwei steeled her heart, wrapped her arms around Lu Yanzhou's neck, and pulled him down forcefully. She stood on tiptoe and kissed the man's lips.
In an instant, mountains and rivers collapsed, and all things were revived.
Lu Yanzhou used one hand to protect the back of her head and the other hand to loosely wrap around her waist, pressing her against the marble wall.
The icy coldness on her back and the burning heat in her chest created two contrasting sensations. Xia Weiwei had difficulty breathing and swallowing, relying on the breaths Lu Yanzhou was giving her.
The girl was like a vine, the man like a towering ancient tree that blocked out the sky; everything had reached its peak.
It was unclear whether the liquid rolling down Lu Yanzhou's face was sweat or water, while Xia Weiwei's body twisted uncontrollably.
"Husband~" The girl's eyes were soft and gentle, turning his last shred of reason to ashes.
If Lu Yanzhou continues to endure this, he'll go crazy.
The girl's delicate features possess the deep roots of an ancient tree.
"A-Zhou, A-Zhou?!"
Suddenly, Bai Ying's voice came in, startling Xia Weiwei.
"It's Mom!"
Bai Ying pounded on the door: "A-Zhou, it's time for you to go back to your room and sleep."
Lu Yanzhou buried his face in Xia Weiwei's neck and cursed in a hoarse voice, "Damn it."
Xia Weiwei felt a surge of heat in her heart, her face turning as red as if it had been squeezed from a watermelon, and her forehead pressed against Lu Yanzhou's chest muscles.
"A-Zhou, if you don't come out, Mom will have someone tear down the door and come in to arrest you."
I should have just stayed in Hong Kong and made an appearance at the engagement party.
Lu Yanzhou was filled with remorse.
“A-Zhou, A-Yue’s first three months haven’t passed yet.”
Okay, stop reading, your son is about to suffocate.
"A-Zhou!" Bai Ying kept calling out, and from that voice, she could tell that she had indeed called the family's servants to come and tear down the door.
"Mom, give me ten more minutes." Lu Yanzhou's voice was hoarse, like a bell that had been extinguished. Xia Weiwei dared not listen; as soon as she did, the desire in her heart was aroused.
Xia Weiwei couldn't cover Lu Yanzhou's mouth, so she covered her own ears.
Lu Yanzhou was so charmed by Xia Weiwei that his eyes crinkled into crescents.
"No! You come out right now, or I'll really take this door down."
Lu Yanzhou sighed and kissed the hand she was using to cover her ears.
"I'll go out first, you can rest for a bit."
Xia Weiwei didn't respond, her head bowed low, but that was the best she could give.
As Lu Yanzhou left, her fingertips still slid across the man's abs.
It feels amazing!
It's both meaty and firm!
He's practically a male enchantress!
"Mom, you're so wary of me, how can I not care about A-Yue's health and the baby's health?"
"If you were rational, you wouldn't have crossed the line before."
"I didn't step on it, I didn't step on it. I was just asking last time, just in case."
"There's no 'what if,' and there's no 'what if.' During A-Yue's pregnancy, you'd better be patient!"
Xia Weiwei kept hearing Lu Yanzhou and Bai Ying's conversation, each sentence of which made her feel ashamed and indignant to the point of wanting to die.
"Where are you going?" Bai Ying shouted.
"Can't I sleep with my wife in my arms? Can't I sleep too?" Lu Yanzhou said, his voice filled with resentment, and then he threw out four harsh words, "Go back to your room and sleep."
"Okay, you mean it. Tonight, when Ying comes home, I'll be waiting at Yue's door."
Xia Weiwei: "..."
After a long while, Xia Weiwei heard no sound at all.
She exhaled a breath of hot air, stepped under the shower, raised her hand, and suddenly noticed something white in her palm...
ah!
No wonder Lu Yanzhou recovered so quickly and was able to see Bai Ying.
Xia Weiwei was both embarrassed and angry, and quickly washed the foreign object off her palm.
She showered for twenty minutes, lay back in bed, turned on her phone, and saw Lu Yanzhou's grumbling.
[L: My mom's gone crazy! We're husband and wife, what's wrong with sleeping in the same bed!]
Xia Weiwei really couldn't agree with him. When they first got married, they might have been able to sleep in the same bed, but now... it's hard to say.
"Ah Yue, are you asleep?"
Xia Weiwei wanted to pretend to be asleep, but she wasn't that kind of person, so she forced herself to say it was no use.
"I heated up a glass of milk for you. Would you mind if I brought it in?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Weiwei quickly got up and opened the door.
Outside the door, Bai Ying wore a gentle smile.
Xia Weiwei was still feeling awkward about the surplus from earlier.
"Thank you, Mom."
"Drink up and go to sleep. I'm in the room next to yours. Call me if you need anything."
"Uh-huh."
After Xia Weiwei finished speaking, she realized that Bai Ying wanted her to go into the room first before she went in.
"Well, Mom, I'm going to sleep now." Just as Xia Weiwei was about to close the door, Bai Ying suddenly stopped her.
"Ah Yue, don't spoil that brat too much. Men can't control their lower bodies. You should hit him or scold him if you need to."
The heat that had subsided in Xia Weiwei started rising again.
"No, he can control himself."
Bai Ying smiled, her face showing no sign of belief. If Xia Weiwei continued to argue, it would seem like she was trying to cover something up.
"Okay, Mom, I'm going back to my room."
"Yes, drink as much milk as you can, don't force yourself."
Xia Weiwei nodded obediently and closed the door.
Back in bed, she finished the large glass of milk, and then Lu Yanzhou messaged her.
L: Can you sleep without me?
She blushed slightly; she knew what he meant—his good brother wasn't among them.
If Lu Yuanying hadn't caught her this morning, she really wouldn't have known that her comfort object was Lu Yanzhou's thing.
[Manta Rose: Yes]
[L: Expectation]
[L: Call me if you can't sleep]
Xia Weiwei replied with a "good" emoji, lay down, and stared at the ceiling.
The day was quite fulfilling, but who exactly was that person, and why did they make Lu Yanzhou so angry?
Although Lu Yanzhou was a cynical person, he was always emotionally stable.
As Xia Weiwei thought about it, she involuntarily closed her eyes.
Twenty minutes later, her phone on the bedside table vibrated.
[L: Are you really asleep?]
Five minutes later.
【L: Goodnight】
That evening, Lu Yanzhou's registered Weibo account was updated.
[Lu Yanzhou V: My wife is so cute, so petite yet so big]
Netizens, drawn by the scent, were astonished to find that this seemingly carefree man had actually gotten married.
For the next few days, Xia Weiwei accompanied Lu Yanzhou to work.
Over time, she started to feel like she was at work.
All she wants to do right now is rest.
That day, Lu Yanzhou had breakfast with her and then took her to work. She grabbed Lu Yuanying, who was sitting on the table.
"Today, I'm going shopping with Aying. You can go by yourself."
Lu Yuanying nodded: "Third brother, it's one thing for you to go to work, but why make your pregnant sister-in-law go to work too!"
Lu Yanzhou looked at Xia Weiwei gripping Lu Yuanying's arm tightly and smiled helplessly.
"Okay, come to the company for lunch."
Xia Weiwei clapped her hands happily with Lu Yuanying.
Lu Yanzhou watched the two little heads happily huddled together, feeling that he was about to raise Xia Weiwei into his daughter.
The thought flashed through his mind, and he shuddered.
"Let me remind you a few more things: don't go to crowded places, remember to ask me for money if you don't have enough, and remember to look at the traffic lights when crossing the street."
Xia Weiwei: "..."
Lu Yuanying: "Third brother, are you already taking on the role of a father?"
As soon as Lu Yanzhou finished speaking, the chill intensified. Finally, he smiled helplessly, waved, and left.
Lu Yuanying and Xia Weiwei left home at 9:40 AM to go to Haishan Building, a filming location for Transformers.
The buildings stand side by side, with dense windows; it's very much a port city, very much like magical realism.
Xia Weiwei looked up from below, struggling to breathe, and pulled Lu Yuanying aside to rest.
"What's wrong? You came here full of enthusiasm, but you can't even stay for one look?"
Xia Weiwei glanced at her, and after things went a little smoother, she wanted to drink some warm water. The two went back to the car to get their thermos cups. As they walked, Xia Weiwei suddenly pulled Lu Yuanying around.
"What's wrong?"
Xia Weiwei laughed and said, "It's okay, I just suddenly don't want to drink warm water anymore. Let's continue playing."
Xia Weiwei is not good at lying, and Lu Yuanying noticed this after only a few days of getting to know her. She turned around and saw Xia Weiwei covering Lu Yuanying's face with her hand. Lu Yuanying held Xia Weiwei's hand and saw Bai Ying kissing a strange man behind a telephone pole.
Xia Weiwei: "!"
Xia Weiwei was nervous, but Lu Yuanying patted her shoulder dismissively: "What's wrong with that? It's normal."
What's normal about this?
Xia Weiwei's mind couldn't process it.
"Third sister-in-law, don't you know? My third uncle and third aunt are already a contractual couple."
Contractual marriage?
“My third uncle couldn’t settle down and had illegitimate children everywhere. My third aunt never cared about it from the beginning. My grandfather wanted to, but he couldn’t control it. In the end, they each went their own way and didn’t interfere with each other’s relationships.”
Lu Yuanying's every word was constantly redefining Xia Weiwei's understanding of the world.
What does it mean to say that illegitimate children are everywhere?
“My third uncle’s eldest illegitimate son, who is only one year younger than my third brother, is named Lu Jingchen. Some time ago, he returned from studying abroad. My third uncle wanted to arrange for Lu Jingchen to join the Lu Group. My third brother announced his marriage in the group chat and also removed Lu Jingchen and my third uncle from the family group chat.”
Xia Weiwei's mind went completely blank. After a long while, she found her own voice and asked, "Then why not get a divorce?"
"Divorce is not an option."
"The Bai family's businesses are too deeply intertwined with the Lu family's businesses. If they were to divorce, the losses would be too severe for either of them to bear."
Xia Weiwei remained silent. Lu Jingchen was only one year younger than Lu Yanzhou, just like her and Gu Qianyue.
It turns out that Lu Yanzhou's childhood environment was very similar to hers.
Xia Weiwei felt a pang of tenderness.
"Ah Ying, I don't want to go shopping anymore. I want to go back to work with Lu Yanzhou."
Lu Yuanying agreed.
Upon arriving at the company building, Lu Yuanying said again, "Third sister-in-law, don't worry too much. In the Lu family, apart from Third Uncle's womanizing, my eldest uncle and my father are both very good people, including my aunt. The family is harmonious."
Xia Weiwei's eyes were filled with confusion.
Lu Yuanying scratched her high ponytail: "I'm afraid you'll think that Third Brother is influenced by Third Uncle and that Third Brother will cheat on you."
Although, Third Brother really is known for his philandering.
"No, I believe him."
Xia Weiwei's confident tone surprised Lu Yuanying.
"Do you want to come up with me?"
Lu Yuanying realized what was happening, and couldn't stop smiling as she shook her head.
Xia Weiwei has been coming here often recently. Although the people in the secretariat don't know what she looks like, they can already tell her figure and appearance.
She entered Lu Yanzhou's office without any obstacles.
"Madam is here again!"
"I thought Madam wouldn't be coming today!"
"Press it! Press it!"
"Mr. Lu, are you in such a hurry? This is the office, it's broad daylight, and we're all here!"
That's what they said, but the secretaries all glanced over.
Just then, the girl's graceful body was pressed against the glass window by the man, and the blinds were drawn.
Everyone: "..."
"Mr. Lu, let me go, I still need to deliver some documents to you."
When Xia Weiwei came in, Lu Yanzhou assumed it was a secretary and handed her a document without even looking up.
"Please give this document to Assistant Zhang."
She replied, "Okay."
She turned to leave, but a force surged through her back, slamming her against the glass wall.
"Everyone can see." She glanced shyly outside, and Lu Yanzhou calmly lowered the blinds.
"Who bullied you?" Lu Yanzhou lifted her chin and carefully observed her expression.
Xia Weiwei shook her head and said no.
Lu Yanzhou didn't believe him and took out his phone from his pocket: "If you don't tell me, I'll go ask Lu Yuanying."
She immediately grabbed Lu Yanzhou's hand: "No one bullied me, I just missed you."
Lu Yanzhou observed her expression carefully again, and it seemed that it really was true.
"Why are you being so clingy now?"
"Lu Yanzhou, aren't you going to let me stick to you?"
Lu Yanzhou was stunned by the question. After a few seconds, he opened his arms and hugged her.
"Let me stick to you. You're my wife. If I don't let you stick to me, who will?"
Xia Weiwei buried her face in Lu Yanzhou's chest, inhaling deeply his unique, carefree, and sunny scent.
Lu Yanzhou and she grew up in similar backgrounds, but developed completely different personalities.
She is accustomed to being tolerant in all things in order to achieve peaceful coexistence.
Lu Yanzhou always fought for himself and would retaliate against anyone who displeased him.
Xia Weiwei spent the entire day in the office with Lu Yanzhou, and she didn't find it boring at all.
In the following days, Xia Weiwei did the same.
Lu Yanzhou privately asked Lu Yuanying if anything had happened when the two of them were shopping that day.
Lu Yuanying denied it, and he threatened her, but Lu Yuanying still denied it.
Then why did his wife suddenly change her behavior?
On October 20th, Grandpa Lu hosted a family banquet, which was attended by his eldest uncle, second uncle, and aunt's family.
At the family dinner, Xia Weiwei greeted everyone. Just as the meal was about to begin, Lu Qingshi suddenly stood up and said he had to leave.
"Third brother, sit down and eat."
"Third Brother, it's rare for us all to get together today, and A-Yue is here too, let's eat."
"Third brother!"
Everyone tried to persuade him, but Bai Ying and Lu Yanzhou remained silent.
Seeing that he couldn't leave, Lu Qingshi had no choice but to tell the truth: "Dad, Xiao Xu is about to give birth, and I have to go and be with her."
Xia Weiwei: "?"
What is it?
Who's about to give birth?
Old Master Lu's face immediately turned cold: "If you dare to leave, I'll disown you as my son!"
Xia Weiwei trembled. Lu Yanzhou's face was gloomy, but his hand was stroking her back, telling her not to be afraid.
"Dad, childbirth is a matter of life and death. I'll come back and you can punish me as you please."
Lu Qingshi eventually left, and Old Master Lu was so angry that he almost fainted. His eldest uncle, second uncle, and aunt surrounded him, and Bai Ying smiled and said, "Don't let it affect our meal."
Xia Weiwei didn't know what to say, so she simply said nothing. Lu Yanzhou asked her if she wanted anything else to eat.
At this point, who would be in the mood to eat?
Looking at Lu Yanzhou's nonchalant expression, Xia Weiwei felt a pang of sadness. Lu Yanzhou then placed a piece of her favorite braised pork ribs on her plate.
The family dinner ended in less than an hour, and everyone was seen off.
"Ah Yue, did I scare you?" Bai Ying asked considerately.
Xia Weiwei quickly shook her head.
"That's good. Mom has some things to do tonight, so she won't be staying here."
Bai Ying gave Lu Yanzhou a warning look, telling him not to mess around.
Lu Yanzhou waved his hand to reassure her.
Xia Weiwei came out of the shower, and Lu Yanzhou was looking at financial reports in bed.
Under the light, his expression was no different from usual, but...
"What's wrong?"
Suddenly, a soft, cloud-like figure snuggled into Lu Yanzhou's arms.
"It's okay, I just wanted to hug you."
She heard Lu Yuanying say that this was Lu Yanzhou's fifteenth little sister or little brother.
Lu Yanzhou gently stroked her back, the air flowing quietly. Suddenly, he asked, "Xia Weiwei, will you laugh at me?"
“I have so many younger brothers and sisters who are not legitimate.”
Xia Weiwei looked up. She knew he knew she knew about him, and it was the first time she had seen a man with a sorrowful expression in front of her.
No, I love you.
"What did you say?" Lu Yanzhou's voice trembled slightly.
"I mean, the baby in your belly will love you forever."
Lu Yanzhou wished that what she said earlier was true, but unfortunately it wasn't. She was just being quick-witted and soft-hearted, and it was just a way of comforting him.
"Lu Yanzhou, once I give birth to the baby, we'll have a family."
The baby will take on the role of a family member and accompany him.
Lu Yanzhou suddenly understood everything she said, and a laugh escaped his lips.
The following day, Xia Weiwei learned from Lu Yuanying that Lu Qingshi's lover had given birth to a boy the day before.
No matter what happens to boys or girls, none of these people can shake Lu Yanzhou's position.
No wonder Lu Yanzhou said that he should fight for what he likes. In this kind of environment, if you don't fight for it, you will be swallowed up by others.
At the headquarters of Lu's Company, the shareholders all learned that Lu Qingshi had given birth to another son, and some secretly congratulated Lu Yanzhou on the arrival of his younger brother.
"I hope that one day, Mr. Xiang and I will share this joy equally."
Xiang Dong's face stiffened as Lu Yanzhou entered the meeting.
"For the company's development, I think we should bring in new talent."
“Lu Jingchen is not only a member of the Lu family, but also a returnee from studying abroad. He has been working in a subsidiary company and now has the opportunity to join the head office.”
Lu Jingchen followed behind Chairman Hong and met Lu Yanzhou's gaze.
Why didn't he kill him that night?
I disagree.
"Mr. Lu, you can't..."
“My Lu family owns 80% of the company. It’s not your place to tell me what to do.”
Lu Yanzhou gave a cold look, while Chairman Hong and President Xiang exchanged a shrewd glance.
Despite being called "President" by outsiders, Lu Yanzhou's position is merely due to his youth; control of the company was gradually transferred to him last year.
"Is my third brother so wary of me because he lacks confidence in himself?"
"I never expected that going to the subsidiary for training would result in me returning with a woman's effeminate and naive nature."
Lu Yanzhou scoffed and reiterated his threat: anyone who dares to let Lu Jingchen into the company will be fired.
The atmosphere at the meeting was somber and oppressive, making everyone uneasy, when Zhang Quan abruptly pushed open the door and entered.
Under the cold, hostile gazes of the crowd, he walked up to Lu Yanzhou and whispered something in his ear.
"Mr. Lu, your wife was in a car accident on her way here and was kidnapped. Her fate is currently unknown."
