Chapter 5

About half a year ago, when she was taken to a nightclub by Zhou Shaohui, she accidentally encountered the racy scene of Lu Zhengqing snuggling with a man...

Lu Zhengqing knew that she was Zhou Shaohui's girlfriend, so he did not threaten her but kindly asked her to keep it secret for him.

Because of this, they were more connected afterwards. Although not "besties", they were friends who trusted each other.

Hearing that, Lu Zhengqing raised his dashing eyebrows, "Mengyu, the two of us are getting more and more tacit! After I heard about you yesterday, I intended to discuss with you about the cooperation."

"So, you agree?" asked Tang Mengyu.

She hadn’t been a hundred percent sure that Lu Zhengqing would agree, but it was a pleasant surprise that he had also thought of this.

After all, with the fame and influence of the Lu family in Ning City, plenty of fine ladies would be drawn to marry him even if Lu Zhengqing was not favored by the patriarch.

Her only bet was his secret, or, more specifically, a guarantee for not giving the game away.

"I have to agree, at least for the shares!" Lu Zhengqing laughed uninhibitedly, and a slyness slid in his eyes without the notice of Tang Mengyu.

In fact, before yesterday's incident, he had just learned another thing: his grandpa had once written a Share Transfer stating that Tang Mengyu would be transferred part of the shares, provided she married into the Lu family.

In this way, as long as he and Tang Mengyu insisted on their liking for each other and got married, his grandpa would probably not stick to her marriage with his cousin, Lu Zhengnan. Moreover, he could get double the shares.

This was the best he could wish for.

"That's great! Do you have your residence booklet? We're going to get the marriage certificate now," Tang Mengyu said, standing up.

Lu Zhengqing smiled and replied, "In such a hurry?"

"Of course! A long delay may cause trouble!" Tang Mengyu nodded firmly.

She couldn't be betrayed and be thrown to the wolves at the same time.

Furthermore, she didn't mean to discriminate against Lu Zhengnan as a disabled person, but she was afraid...that he was rumored being so ruthless and tyrannical that he killed people for amusement when he was in a bad mood.

But once she married Lu Zhengqing, all problems could be readily solved.

Lu Zhengqing stood up, raised his wrist, and checked the time. "My residence booklet is still in my grandpa's old house. I have to go back and steal it out. Give me two hours, and I'll see you at the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau north of the city at one sharp in the afternoon."

"All right!"

...

In the afternoon, at the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Tang Mengyu checked the time on her cellphone over and over again, but there was no sign of Lu Zhengqing showing up. She called him anxiously only to find his phone was powered off!

"What's going on?" Tang Mengyu frowned. Was there anything wrong?

"Mengyu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting so long!"

A deep and attractive voice suddenly came out behind Tang Mengyu, and a light of hope glimpsed in her eyes as she turned around.

However...

She did not see Lu Zhengqing.

Instead, Lu Zhengnan was seated in a wheelchair with his assistant Zhao Shu standing behind.

In a black suit with his hair carefully glued, Lu Zhengnan looked extremely handsome as if he was going to attend an important occasion.

Though his eyes were staring at a point ahead out of focus, the man kept smiling, gentle and elegant.

"Miss Tang, after receiving your mother's phone call, Young Master immediately went home to get his certificates. We were kind of caught in the traffic jam on our way here. Sorry for keeping you waiting," Zhao Shu explained to her with regret.

Tang Mengyu was completely confused. The person she had been waiting for was Lu Zhengqing, but why did Lu Zhengnan come with the residence booklet?
