"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
“Please don’t worry.” Captain Li soothed him in a soft voice, "We hold the same opinion that Young Master Zhengnan can't be the murderer, and we also found his alibi. As for his fingerprints on the fruit knife, we think that he might have used the knife before, and later the victim secretly took it away. In the surveillance footage, no one was seen around the victim, so she probably killed herself by the swimming pool."The speculation of Captain Li calmed their jittery nerves, but what he said next brought everyone’s heart into their throats again."This is all we got for now as there is no other evidence, and we have not figured out why the victim committed suicide. But we will continue our investigation and make everything come out in the wash."Patriarch Lu's bushy eyebrows were squeezed together, his heart sank, and he kept pondering over what Captain Li meant.The police did not find any suspect from the surveillance footage. Nor did they find the blood of the victim in other
She turned around and glanced at Lu Zhengnan before leaving, casting a final glance at his thick brows which were furrowed together tightly, making him appear gloomier than usual.After returning to her room, she recalled the incident again and felt that this murder case had too many dubious points.Just who exactly was the man that she met that night?She had clearly seen him beside the pool, his hands completely covered in blood, but why had the surveillance camera failed to capture him?There were only two possibilities: either someone had tampered with the surveillance camera footage, or Auntie He had really committed suicide.Even if the former supposition was correct, Lu Zhengnan was blind in both eyes, there was no way he could have done anything to the surveillance footage.Moreover, even if he had really wanted to kill someone, he would not have been so foolish as to leave his fingerprints on the knife.Had the murderer chosen the fruit knife in the house and deliberate
"Wow, our Mengyu's all grown up!" A smile quickly cracked across Grandma's wrinkle-filled face.Tang Mengyu pushed Lu Zhengnan's wheelchair towards Grandma, then stretched out her hands and pointed to him as she said softly, "Grandma, this is my husband, Lu Zhengnan.""Grandma, it's very nice to meet you!" Lu Zhengnan's deep and mellow voice sounded rather sonorous.Grandma stretched her neck and squinted her eyes a little, but she could only vaguely make out the other party's silhouette. Upon realizing that Lu Zhengnan seemed to be sitting on a wheelchair, she could not help but frown. She tugged at the hem of Tang Mengyu's clothes, signaling at Tang Mengyu to bend over so that she could whisper in her ear."Mengyu, I'm slightly confused, why did you marry some old invalid?" Grandma said quietly enough that only the two of them could hear.She had actually mistaken Lu Zhengnan for an old man. This was so absurd!Tang Mengyu's shoulders shook incessantly as her eyes curved into b
Every time she brought up her past, she would always feel so bitter and her heart would shrivel as if it had been soaked in salt water. Why did other children have parents that doted on them, while her biological parents had heartlessly abandoned her?"You got to know Grandma from here?""Yes. That year, her biological granddaughter passed away in a traffic accident. The grief of the loss consumed her and she became slightly muddle-headed. That day, I happened to drop by the welfare home to take care of the elderly residents and she mistook me for her granddaughter. I was afraid that Grandma would be heart-broken if she recalled her granddaughter's death, so I played along."Upon hearing her account, Lu Zhengnan squinted his eyes. His stern expression melted away in an instant and he became gentler."What happened after that?""As time passed, we became closer and I came to see her as my own grandmother. Every time I come to the welfare home, I always keep her company and chat wit
Tang Mengyu smiled forlornly and replied indifferently, "I don't think we should go on a honeymoon. It's difficult for you to move about, and you can't see anything either, so it would be more trouble than it's worth. We don't need a big wedding ceremony either. Don't worry, I won't be unhappy."Lu Zhengnan shook his head, expressing disapproval at what she had just said. He persevered with persuading her patiently, "I can't see anything, but you can. The day of a woman's wedding is one of the most important of her life. I'm already incapable of providing you with a normal married life, if we were to do away with the wedding and honeymoon as well, then I'd really be an incompetent husband.""It's alright, I really don't mind!" she said, quickly rejecting his suggestion again."Mengyu, are you worried that you won't be able to take care of me during our honeymoon? Don't worry, I'll handle all of the necessary arrangements beforehand and have someone there to take care of me. All you'
From Zhou Shaohui's affair to her flash marriage with Lu Zhengnan, everything had happened so quickly. She had had no time to think about such matters at all, let alone the right to make a decision.Raining Everyday: "I didn’t think too much about it. Now that we're officially married, there are many things that I can't decide by myself. As for the future, I'm just taking things one step at a time."Safe Haven: "Yep. In the future, whenever you feel unhappy or need my help, you must let me know!"At this moment, though she was looking at the cold, sterile light of a computer screen, she felt warm and fuzzy inside.Somewhere in this world, there was at least one friend who cared about her. This was probably one of her rare bits of good fortune.Raining Everyday: "I will, thank you."After their conversation ended, she closed the laptop lid and gazed into space, looking pensive. When she felt sleepy, she then took her pajamas and walked straight towards the bathroom.The warm wate
The purgatory-like pain was still fresh in her mind, which meant that she had indeed been sexually assaulted the previous time at the villa, and that that night had really been her first.The man in a silver mask, the identity of whom she could not fathom, had actually chased her all the way from the villa to the old residence, and sexually assaulted her twice in a row. Each time he had tormented her until she was on the verge of losing her grip on her sanity. He was simply a vicious devil!At this moment, though the bedroom was clearly very warm, Tang Mengyu felt bone-chillingly cold. Before long, her pajamas were drenched in cold sweat."I can't stay here any longer!"She ran barefoot to the study at lightning speed, wanting to tell Lu Zhengnan everything that had happened.She shoved open the door forcefully and saw him lying on the fold-out sofa with the usual pair of wireless headphones on his head.He had not even changed out of his pajamas and was still wearing the same se
