Tang Ruochu heard the mockery in his tone and therefore defended her best friend. "Xiaoxiao wasn't the one who acted fast. Uncle Ying wanted to see Shengyao, so..." She shrugged her shoulders. "You understand."Lu Shijin shook his head and laughed. "Shengyao hates interacting with seniors. He escaped from the dragon's pit just to enter the tiger's lair."Tang Ruochu was speechless."Is he implying that the Lu family is the dragon's pit and the Ying family is tiger's lair?"Lu Shijin looked ahead at the road in front as he smiled meaningfully. "I believe that it's not so easy for Shengyao to leave this time."In the Lu family, his big brother could prevent him from the oppression of the old man.But in the Ying family, Mr. Ying was not someone who could be easily fooled. Shengyao and Xiaoxiao's performance might not be so easy.Tang Ruochu raised her brows. She understood what he meant but... this could foster an ideal relationship....After eating, Lu Shengyao accompanied Mr.
Ying Xiaoxiao entered the study with a plate of fruit. When she saw that her father was still playing chess with Lu Shengyao, she put the plate of fruit on the study desk before walking to Lu Shengyao's side.Lu Shengyao turned to look at her. He smiled gently before moving his gaze back to the chessboard.Mr. Ying glanced at his daughter and asked casually, "Why are you not accompanying your mother?""She wanted to watch her drama and asked me to not bother her." Ying Xiaoxiao found it amusing that her mother had chased her upstairs, for she knew that her mother was worried that they wouldn't get along.However, it seemed like her mother was overthinking it.They were at peace during their game of chess, at least in her eyes.It was a difficult match, as the two fought each other head-on. The match only ended an hour later.This time, Mr. Ying lost.By three moves."Good game, Uncle." Lu Shengyao looked at Mr. Ying with humility. His eyes were gentle as he smiled politely.M
Mr. Ying stared at them silently before finally sighing. "Never mind, please return."...While walking out of the Ying manor, Lu Shengyao held Ying Xiaoxiao's hand as he turned around to look at that European-style manor. He complained half-jokingly, "This place will be one of the places that I will hate to visit again."Hearing his words, Ying Xiaoxiao turned around to look at her manor as well. Sadness appeared on her face as she shifted her gaze to his. "Do you really detest it here so much?"Lu Shengyao turned around and stared into her clear pupils, smiling gently and nodding honestly. "I truly don't want to visit here again."Then, he let go of her hand and walked directly to the car.As her grip became empty, her heart became empty as well. Bitterness filled her heart.The tip of her fingers curled up as she took a deep breath and raced toward him.When he was about to open the car door, she shouted, "Lu Shengyao."Lu Shengyao paused and turned around. A slender figure
Lu Shengyao walked out of the elevator to the door of his apartment. He was about to key in the password.At this point in time, the door opposite his opened. Accompanied by a shriek, a girl charged out with her head lowered, bumping into him accidentally.The girl lifted up her head when she felt that she had bumped into someone. When she saw his face, she exclaimed, "It's you!"That was the extraordinary circumstance that marked Lu Shengyao's virgin experience of killing a cockroach.He wrapped the dead cockroach in tissue before throwing it into the toilet bowl for it to be flushed away.Then, he walked out and saw the girl walking out of her kitchen with a bottle of water.Seeing him, the girl asked hastily, "So? Did you kill it?"Lu Shengyao nodded. "Yes, it's dead."The girl heaved a sigh of relief. "I am finally saved."She then passed the bottle of water over. "Here, sorry for the trouble."Lu Shengyao received the bottle of water and examined her mockingly. "Are you
Tang Ruo looked at her meaningfully. "That's hard to say.""Ha!" Ying Xiaoxiao snorted. "No way!"It wasn't that she lacked confidence, but Lu Shengyao's mind was too unpredictable, and she dared not keep her expectations too high."Don't judge too soon." Tang Ruochu smiled meaningfully.Ying Xiaoxiao sighed heavily. "Forget it. Let's not talk about it."The more they talked about it, the more depressing it got. She'd rather let go of it.Tang Ruochu smiled and said nothing else.Yin Xiaoxiao went on to eat her meal, then remembered something and looked up at her. "Remember to go shopping for a formal dress after work. The charity gala will be held in two days."Tang Ruochu smiled and said, "Sure, I'll remember.""And remember to call Anyi too," Ying Xiaoxiao added."I'll remember that too." Tang Ruochu shook her head and smiled again.'Love' was a famous wedding gown design studio that also designed all kinds of evening dresses.It was said that the owner was an elegant an
It was too small a world indeed.Tang Ruochu raised her fine eyebrows and turned to look at Song Anyi and Ying Xiaoxiao. "Just pretend that they're not here. Let's keep choosing our dresses."There was no need to waste time on people like this. Song Anyi and Ying Xiaoxiao both acknowledged that.As such, they both looked away and went on to pick out their dresses.Yang Qianqian felt upset about being totally overlooked by them.Fine, since they were going to pretend like she wasn't there, she wasn't planning to let go of things so easily.Yang Qianqian took a deep breath and walked toward them in an overbearing and arrogant manner. She checked out the dresses they were looking at and sneered. "Now who is this? Isn't this the daughter of a corrupt official? Are you planning to buy such an expensive dress with the money your parents embezzled? How dare you! Don't you even feel ashamed!"As soon as she finished her sarcastic statement, everyone could hear the slapping sound in the
"Tang Ruochu!" Yang Qianqian couldn't hold back anymore and rushed over, raising her hand to slap her.Just at the same moment, Song Anyi also rushed out and pushed Yang Qianqian away.Yang Qianqian hadn't expected her to come in between them and she wasn't prepared for it at all. She staggered and fell backward as she screamed in fear.No one had expected things to go this way and everyone froze. When they finally came to their senses and Han Yichen reached out to grab her, it was already too late.Yang Qianqian dropped to the ground heavily."Qianqian!" Han Yichen cried out and hurried up to her.Tang Ruochu saw blood slowly leaking out from underneath Yang Qianqian's skirt. Her pupils constricted and she turned pale as the glaring crimson pool spread from her.Song Anyi and Ying Xiaoxiao saw this too, and Song Anyi turned just as pale as she stared incredulously at Yang Qianqian who was still on the floor.How was it possible that Yang Qianqian was pregnant, and that she had
After leaving the wedding gown studio, they headed to the hospital instead of going back home.On their way there, Ying Xiaoxiao kept insisting on how she disagreed with Anyi's decision to visit Yang Qianqian at the hospital.Song Anyi quietly looked out of the window and let her unwind, not saying anything in reply.She understood what Xiaoxiao was thinking. According to Xiaoxiao, what had happened to Yang Qianqian was all her own fault, and she had no right to blame others.However, it wasn't her intention to visit Yang Qianqian. She was really going to see the baby.The baby was innocent.Every time she closed her eyes, her mind would be filled with the blazing red color that wouldn't let her mind rest. She would never be able to feel at ease for the rest of her life unless she went to have a look.When they arrived at the Emergency room of the hospital, they learned from the nurse that Yang Qianqian had been sent to the operating room.So they rushed to the operating room.
