Chapter 3

Crack—

After a loud thunderclap, the heavy rain suddenly poured down.

In a black car parked by the roadside with both hazard flashers on, the driver turned and said to the man sitting in the back, "Master, Miss Tang went forward in the rain."

"Follow her!" The man's low-pitched voice sounded like a pleasant cello.

His face hidden in the flickering light only showed its beautiful outline as a sculpture.

The raindrops in late autumn were hitting on Tang Mengyu like icicles, and her pale little face turned purple in the cold. She hugged her thin body, gritted her teeth, and moved forward stiffly step by step.

She didn't know where to go, or even where she was.

There were no pedestrians on such a rainy night, only cars speeding by occasionally, with water splashing on the girl ruthlessly, wetting her again and again.

In the car, the man's big hand on his knee clenched a little harder, and some dim glitter flashed from his deep eyes in the dark night.

Unpredictably, the little woman in front of him fell down, her petite body lying on the side of the road full of water stains, motionless.

"Stop the car!"

"Master, umbrella!"

"No need!"

After a screech of brakes, the man put on a silver mask next to him and pushed the door open. He walked over to Tang Mengyu with his long legs in only a few steps, squatted down in front of the fainted woman, and helped her up.

With the light from his car, the man saw her pale little face in his arms. He frowned and called her, "Miss Tang?"

Seeing her eyebrows knitted and eyes tightly closed, the man no longer hesitated. With one arm slipped under her back and the other under her knees, he carried her directly into the car and commanded the driver in a hurry, "Hospital!"

In the old house of the Lu family.

"Kneel down, you bastard!"

Zhou Yuhai, Zhou Shaohui's father, kicked his son's legs and pressed his shoulders to make him kneel down in front of several elders in the Lu family. He scolded fiercely, "You have lost our Zhou family's face. There are women everywhere, so why do scramble for your cousin’s! Apologize to your aunt and uncle, now! "

Zhou Qiuyue quickly helped her nephew up and glanced at her elder brother, "Brother, what's the big deal? Shaohui is not a child, but you still hit him!"

Zhou Shaohui stood up and took Zhou Qiuyue’s hand in haste. "Aunt, Mengxue and I are really in love with each other. I beg you and uncle not to separate us! I'm sorry for my cousin, but I didn't mean to... "

Before Zhou Shaohui could finish his words, a deep and attractive voice came from the door, "No need to apologize!"

People in the living room were stunned, turning their eyes together to the direction of the voice. Zhao Shu was pushing the wheelchair for Lu Zhengnan to come in.

Though his eyes were dim, the man in the wheelchair had a cold but noble temperament, which was hard to be concealed. He was glowing all over by merely sitting there, overwhelming others' presence.

The wheelchair stopped, and Lu Zhengnan opened his mouth lightly, "The fiancée that Grandpa had decided for me was actually Tang Mengyu, the eldest daughter of the Tang family, not Tang Mengxue. So, it is not Shaohui and Tang Mengxue betraying Mengyu and me, but me and Mengyu fulfilling the marriage contract of Lu and Tang families by officially becoming fiancé and fiancée."

Hearing this, in addition to Zhou Shaohui, both parents of Lu Zhengnan and Zhou Shaohui were a little shocked.

Before anyone could respond, Lu Zhengnan continued, "Grandpa always thought that Mengxue was Mengyu. If you elders want to mention this to Grandpa for verification, Zhengnan will not be responsible for any result!"

Although the voice was not loud, his tone left no room for doubt.

For a moment, no one dared to speak in the large living room. It was so quiet that the sound of a needle falling on the floor could be heard.

Zhou Qiuyue gave Zhou Shaohui a look to ease his fear. She came over to Lu Zhengnan, patted on his shoulder, and said with a smile, "Son, in this sense, if it were not for Shaohui, your fate with Mengyu would have been misplaced all the time. I’ll thank your cousin for you!"

"Thank you, mother," Lu Zhengnan replied without expression.

Then he gave Zhao Shu a gesture and was pushed out of the living room.
