The next morning.Tang Mengyu hastily finished washing up and went downstairs. She saw Lu Zhengnan having his breakfast.When Lu Zhengnan heard the noise from the stairs, he turned around to Tang Mengyu and said, “Good morning!”“Morning!” Tang Mengyu replied politely.“Mengyu, come and have breakfast.”Lu Zhengnan leaned forward gentlemanly, groped, and pulled back the chair near him, signaling Tang Mengyu to sit next to him.“Thanks! I won’t have breakfast at home. I’ll pick up something to eat later near my company.”“Are you going to work?” Lu Zhengnan asked, his voice sounded attractive with a rising ending.“Yes! I searched online yesterday. There is a bus near this villa that goes into the city. Then I can change to another to get to the company, much easier than I thought,” Tang Mengyu said as she took out her cellphone to review the bus route. Lu Zhengnan subtly frowned without her notice. “You are now the hostess of the Lu Family, which means you don’t need to earn
Meeting room.Lu’s Group.There were several directors sitting rail straight, looking at the patriarch of the Lu family with a mixture of emotions spreading over their faces. The group staff knew that Chairman Lu had been half sober and half muddled over the last two years. Nobody could guess what weird things he would bring up today.Seated in the middle of the conference table, the patriarch was hale and hearty. There were wrinkles all over his weathered face as if carved by a knife. His eyes were bright and deep, brimming with radiating vigor.“Ladies and gentlemen, I have called you all here today to make an announcement.”When speaking, he was full of energy, with the calmness and introversion that formed through his life experiences.“Five years ago, I have signed a marriage contract with the Tang family. When Tang Mengyu, the first daughter of the Tang family, graduates from college, she will marry to Zhengnan. Now, they are officially and legally married. According to the
From Tang Mengxue’s attitude to him, it could tell that she was indeed not much valued in the Tang family. They were quite similar in this sense. In other words, they were fellow sufferers that commiserated each other.Thinking of this, he could not help but feel a little pity for her.“How did she get acquainted with Zhou Shaohui?” Lu Zhengnan asked sharply.“Half a year ago, they attended the same wedding, where Young Mistress was the bridesmaid. It is said that Zhou Shaohui fell in love with her at first sight, and then started to court her crazily. According to the investigation, Young Mistress never had a boyfriend before she met Zhou Shaohui, so he was her first love.”“First love?”Lu Zhengnan sneered coldly. His eyes didn’t look different, but the raised corners of his mouth revealed his derision.What a bullshit “first love”! Didn’t it finally end in tragedy?Seeing the sudden change of his face, Zhao Shu didn’t dare to speak and even breathed more carefully.“There’s
Good at gauging people, Tang Mengyu instantly recognized that Lu Zhengnan was upset when she mentioned divorce in front of him. His reaction was normal because of his current condition, and he must have felt self-abased to some extent, making him more sensitive to such things.“I was just kidding about finding my true love! Just pretend you didn’t hear me.”After that, she forced a chuckle, her expression a bit unnatural.“Don’t joke about that.”“Yes, First Master Lu.”She increasingly found that Lu Zhengnan was emotional—the first moment warm like a spring breeze and the second cruel and tyrannical.It seemed that Li Xiaoxian was right about not infuriating Lu Zhengnan at her will!After dinner, Tang Mengyu pushed Lu Zhengnan in the wheelchair and went back to the bedroom. Then she walked straight to the bathroom to run some bathwater.Even though they were already legally married, she would still be embarrassed to face that man naked.Encouraging herself for a while, she fi
Struggling desperately, Tang Mengyu began to gasp.She even reached out her hands spontaneously, trying to push the ‘boulder’ away.That ‘boulder’ was heavy and hot, not moving as if it was fixed. She was pinned hard under it and had no chance to catch her breath or break free.Goosebumps broke out on her skin where the ‘boulder’ touched.Tang Mengyu trembled fiercely, couldn’t restrain her inner fear anymore, and blurt out to ask for help, “Help-Hmm!”With only one word shouted out, her little mouth was covered by a big hand of the man, and the remaining was blocked in her throat.“Hmmm…”Who was he?!Being panic, Tang Mengyu opened her eyes out of a knee-jerk reaction and looked at the man’s face.However, a face with a silver mask came into her sight.The mask covered over half of the man’s face, only showing his angular jaw.The silver mask had a good texture. It flickered in the moonlight coldly, making a chill creeping in Tang Mengyu’s heart.It was the weird man agai
Tang Mengyu felt something strange and scrambled out of bed in a hurry. She went straight to the study nearby but didn’t find Lu Zhengnan. She went into every room in the villa, but still, no sign of him.Did he leave the villa?She opened the front door with a puzzled look and followed the path to the swimming pool in the backyard."Ah!"A high-pitched scream broke the silence of the night.There was no word to describe what she saw!A body was floating in the swimming pool. From the dressing, it should be Auntie He. Half of the swimming pool was red with blood as if it was covered with a piece of horrible red cloth.Tang Mengyu's body kept shaking with fear, and her heart was beating wildly out of control. With both her legs became limp, she nearly collapsed on the ground.The next second, she quickly realized that she must leave there immediately. If she encountered the murderer, she might be killed!Tang Mengyu turned around abruptly, whereas her head suddenly bumped into
No, no way! It was impossible!She dismissed the bold idea immediately and thought it should be some strange dream last night!How could Lu Zhengnan appear in front of her like a normal person? He should be a blind man who had difficulty in moving!"Have I been a little too nervous lately?" she asked herself.Going straight into the bathroom, she scooped a handful of cold water and splashed it on her face. The red-tinted swimming pool emerged in her mind again as she looked up into her bloodshot apricot eyes in the mirror.Tang Mengyu tensed up for no reason, and her breathing became rapid. Why did the dream seem so real?While she was lost in her thought, frowning, a noise interrupted her.She went quietly to the door of the bedroom and put her ear against it to hear the movement outside. Judging from the different voices, there should be several strangers at home.She changed her clothes quickly and strode downstairs.In the distance, two uniformed policemen were sitting on
“Sorry, I was going to tell you that I slept through the night and didn’t know anything.”She didn’t conceal it on purpose. It was that Lu Zhengnan had barely touched her before, but just now, he clutched her hand before she could open her mouth. He clearly expressed himself without saying a word.“Well, all right,” Captain Li muttered.She lowered her head, gloomy, noticing that he still held her hand tight and had no intention to let it go.“Mr. and Mrs. Lu, if you recall anything, you may contact me at any time,” said Captain Li politely, handing his business card into Lu Zhengnan’s hand.“Sure,” Lu Zhengnan lowered his voice and answered.After saying goodbye to the couple, Captain Li left the villa together with the young policeman.“Bang!”, the villa gate was closed tightly.Putting Captain Li’s business card into his top pocket, Lu Zhengnan loosened his hand and let go of Tang Mengyu. After regaining her freedom, Tang Mengyu immediately drew away from him. She shouted
