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
She had met the assistant of Lu Zhengnan for several times and could recognize his voice. She was sure the one knocking was Zhao Shu.“Please come in,” she said politely, opening the door.“Young Mistress, the chairman has heard about the murder here. He asked me to take you and Young Master to stay at the old house. The car is waiting for you outside. Please pack up and get prepared.”After hearing the word “murder” again, her porcelain-white face turned pale as if blood had drained from it. Her chest was rising up and down violently, and her body was quivering as well.“Are you all right?”“Oh, I’m fine.”Tang Mengyu lowered her eyelids and forced a smile, wistful yet beautiful. She turned aside and went upstairs to pack.Zhao Shu pushed Lu Zhengnan in his wheelchair to the villa gate. Then he put down the step board of the medium-sized MPV, which had been modified for the wheelchair. With the step board, the wheelchair rolled over it and was pushed into the car easily.Stari
“Is there anyone in the ancestral temple, Cai?”“Yes, the first Young Mistress, the aunt of Young Master, should be there. She has been practicing abstinence in the Buddha hall beside the ancestral temple for years.”Aunt Lu Zhengfang was not alien to her. When she first came to the old house of the Lu family, only Grandpa and Aunt showed their cares for Lu Zhengnan, while the rest of the family just ignored his existence.“Let’s go back and don’t disturb her.”“Yes, Young Mistress.”The two were about to leave when Lu Zhengfang, who had heard their noise, stopped them and said, “Is that Mengyu? Why are you leaving so soon?”Hearing her name called by Lu Zhengfang, she turned immediately and lowered her head respectfully to greet her. She smiled and replied, “Aunt, I was afraid to disturb you.”“We are a family now, and make yourself at home. Come on, have some little chat with your aunt.”“Sure.”With her forthright reply, Lu Zhengfang took her hand and led her into the small
Calm on the surface, Tang Mengyu grew more and more uneasy with her heart racing. She felt that everything around her was trying to swallow her up.The Lu family was so bizarre. She had probably come here as a sacrifice rather than living in ease and comfort!Outside the ancestral temple.The night sky was like a dark blue curtain dotted with twinkling stars, making people deeply obsessed.Tang Mengyu, however, was full of worries at the moment, not having time to enjoy such an intoxicating night.Those words of Lu Zhengfang hurt her as a harsh blow. Absent-minded, she came out of the ancestral temple and almost stumbled over the steps outside."Be careful, Young Mistress!" Cai was sharp and swift enough to catch hold of her."Oh. Thank you," she replied softly.She walked slowly down the steps with her head down. Suddenly, she saw a cold and familiar face appearing in front of her."Mengyu!" The gentle voice of the man was tinged with a light smile.She didn't expect Lu Zhen
Aware of the estrangement of the woman in bed, Lu Zhengnan frowned his bushy and dark eyebrows. That usual soft features of him suddenly hardened.Trying to hide her embarrassment, she whispered, "Good night.""Well, good night," he replied, without a trace of warmth in his voice.The dead silence filled in the bedroom in the dark.Tang Mengyu took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes. Scenes of horror flashed back and forth in her mind. The vessels in her brain were about to explode; every part of her body seemed to be trembling; her arms and legs were as cold as ice.Her unusual behavior was noticed by the other person next to her."Mengyu, are you all right?" his soft voice rang out in her ears."I...I'm a little scared," she replied timidly.The next moment, Lu Zhengnan sat up, fumbled for the lamp switch beside the bed, and picked up a braille book from the night table."Get some sleep, and I'll accompany you by your side. Don't be afraid. I won’t turn off the light b
The next day.The morning rays lighted up the world, fresh and new. As the sunlight shone through the window panes, motes of dust danced in the light, clear and vivid.Tang Mengyu mumbled in comfort and stretched herself.Eh, where was the arm around her last night?She quickly turned around and found that Lu Zhengnan was not in bed.To her delight, her pajamas were still on, intact.So, indeed, Lu Zhengnan didn't do anything to her last night.It was said that men were animals that thought with their desires. With women in their arms, only those desexualized would do nothing.Seemingly, the car accident took away not only the function of his eyes and legs but also that masculine one.Hmm, it was such a pity that Lu Zhengnan was born good-looking but could not benefit from it at all.She didn't mind being widowed in this way. But for a man, it was too hard to live like this!The sound of footsteps coming nearby brought her thoughts back."Young Mistress! Young Mistress! Are
"Tang Mengyu, how dare you hit me like this!" Tang Mengxue berated between gritted teeth with a hand covering her left face that was aching."You deserve this!" replied Tang Mengyu furiously. Her eyes were widened, and her chest was heaving violently. "I’m warning you, don't talk nonsense here or forget your status. You are only a guest of the Lu family now, and I am the rightful Mrs. Lu. As long as I don't like you, I can throw you out at any time!""Good, Tang Mengyu, how dare you to put on airs in front of me like this? Let me teach you something."Tang Mengxue's eyes widened to the greatest extreme as if she wanted to cut her elder sister into thousands of pieces with her sharp glare. She raised her right hand high and was about to slap down."What are you arguing about?!" A man’s words fell heavily on them like a huge stone striking the surface of a lake, making countless splashes of water.They looked in the direction of the voice and saw the solemn face of Lu Zhengnan in th
