Chapter 41: Mr. Lu, it’s time to end our relationship

The driver was startled and slammed on the brakes.

"squeak--"

The harsh sound of brakes broke the tranquility of the early morning.

The car door opened, and Assistant Qi Qi stuck her head out. Seeing that it was Lu Tingzhou, she was also stunned.

"Mr. Lu?"

Lu Tingzhou ignored her, his eyes passing through her and shooting straight at the slender figure in the car.

"Sang Wan, get out of the car." His voice was hoarse and firm, refusing to be refused.

The car window slowly lowered, revealing a face with delicate makeup but an expressionless face.

Sang Wan didn’t even look at him, but just said to the driver lightly: “Drive.”

"Sang Wan!" Lu Tingzhou stepped forward and put his hand on the car door to stop the car from moving forward.

"Mr. Lu, what are you doing?" Sang Wan finally turned her head and looked at him with a calm expression and even a smile on her lips.

That look was so calm and strange that it frightened him.

"Talk to me." Lu Tingzhou suppressed the turmoil in his heart and tried his best to make his voice sound calm.

"It seems like there's nothing much to talk about between Mr. Lu and me, right?"

The curve of Sang Wan's mouth deepened, with a hint of sarcasm, but her voice was still soft and tender.

"I'm very busy. Sorry I don't have time to play with Mr. Lu."

The voice was obviously very pleasant, but when it reached Lu Tingzhou's ears, it sounded like a knife wrapped in sugar, stabbing into his heart.

"I'm not kidding you." Lu Tingzhou took a deep breath and tried to explain, "Yesterday at the company, what you saw was..."

"What I saw is not important." Sang Wan interrupted him lightly.

"The important thing is that our 'game' should be over."

She tilted her head slightly and looked at him. Her peach blossom eyes, which were once filled with stars, were now calm and peaceful, with only a polite smile.

"I flirted with Mr. Lu just to resolve the crisis I was in at the time."

"Now, the crisis is over, and I even managed to get the female lead role in 'The Storm Rises'. So, it can be considered a win."

"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your generous donation during this period."

She deliberately emphasized the word "alms" and smiled politely and distantly.

Lu Tingzhou's face grew colder and colder, and the air pressure around him became frighteningly low.

Sang Wan seemed not to notice and continued to say the cruelest words in that sweet and soft voice.

"As for Mr. Lu..." She looked him up and down, as if evaluating a commodity. "Next time, if there's a window of opportunity and I happen to be alone, perhaps... we can get to know each other again."

"Now, please, Mr. Lu, move aside and don't delay my work."

"Goodbye, I won't see you off."

Every word was clearly heard by Lu Tingzhou.

He looked at her, at the face that was so close yet so far away.

My heart seemed to be torn into countless pieces, falling heavily to the ground.

He knew Sang Wan. Seeing her calm appearance, she must be furious and needed time to calm down.

Finally, he slowly released his hand from the car door.

The car sped away from him in a cloud of dust.

In the nanny car not far away, a pair of smug eyes were staring at all this.

Song Ziqian held up her cell phone and clearly recorded the entire process from Lu Tingzhou stopping the car to staring at it in a daze.

A gloating smile appeared on her lips, and she quickly sent the video to Song Xinran.

"Sister, I know Sang Wan. She is a noble person and she won't joke about her future. She will definitely cut her losses in time."

On the other side, Song Xinran was watching the video coming from her mobile phone, her fingertips trembling slightly.

She had never seen Lu Tingzhou look so distraught and desperate as to block people.

The uneasiness in my heart suddenly intensified.

A man who doesn't fall in love easily will be devastated once he does.

Sang Wan couldn't become that accident, she wouldn't allow it.

Song Xinran took a deep breath and dialed a number.

"Madam, I've been wanting to invite you for tea for a few days since I came back. Do you think it's time for us to meet?"

…

An hour later, in an elegant box of a top private club.

Sun Meixi held the bone china teacup and took a sip gracefully without even raising her eyelids.

She was nearly forty years old, well-maintained, with a hint of harshness in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

"Why did you come back suddenly? Isn't the job over there pretty good?" Sun Meixi put down her teacup and said in a neutral voice.

Song Xinran curled her lips, "The eldest wife would rather I didn't come back, or even die abroad."

Sun Meixi raised her eyes and glanced at her, curling her lips, "Not really. Whether you live or die has no effect on me."

"Really?" Song Xinran smiled. "It would be nice if you really think so. I am just a worthless person, how can I compare to your Lu family's eldest wife?"

"There's no need for us to talk like this. What do you want from me?" Sun Meixi went straight to the point.

"Of course I need your help."

"Oh?" Sun Meixi raised her eyebrows, half smiling, "How can I help you?"

Song Xinran bit her lip and softened her voice. "Sister Meixi, we are all in this together. I know you have some influence with the old man. Could you please say a few good words for me in front of him?"

"Lu Tingzhou...seems to be very interested in that Sang Wan."

Sun Meixi sneered when she heard this, "Song Xinran, for so many years, you haven't even warmed Lu Tingzhou's heart. You are really useless."

Song Xinran's face turned pale and he clenched his hands tightly at his sides.

"Sister Meixi, you helped me get to the top, so I won't mention anything about what happened back then. Of course, we have a good relationship, and if I succeed, you will benefit greatly. Given the current situation, do you think Lu Jinxuan is a match for Lu Tingzhou?"

Sun Meixi gritted her teeth and curled her lips, looking at Song Xinran sharply: "Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

Song Xinran met her gaze, his voice calm, yet threatening.

"Sister Meixi, I'm barefoot and not afraid of you wearing shoes. Besides, I have Lu Tingzhou protecting me now. Even if you want to attack me, it probably won't be that easy. Therefore, our cooperation is the best choice, a win-win situation. If Lu Tingzhou's wife becomes someone else, will she help you? Will there still be peace between us?"

Sun Meixi's face changed slightly, and her fingers gripping the teacup tightened.

This Song Xinran has improved compared to before and can control her everywhere.

Sun Meixi was silent for a while, picked up the teacup and blew away the hot steam gently.

"I'll see to it," she said calmly, "but don't get your hopes up too much. Lu Tingzhou is a stubborn ass, and he might not listen to what the old man says."

Song Xinran was delighted. "The old man knows the relationship between Sheng An and me. He will agree. If he agrees, Tingzhou will have another layer of concerns."

As long as Sun Meixi is willing to help, the job will be half done.

There was another reason why Sun Meixi agreed, because the other party was Sang Wan.

She would never allow Sang Wan to enter the Lu family.

night.

Lu Tingzhou sat in the private room of the Royal Court, holding a glass of wine and drinking with Chen Yubai.

After drinking a glass of wine, he felt a burning sensation in his stomach and couldn't help but frown.

Sang Wan's cold and sarcastic peach blossom eyes lingered in his mind.

He knew that the little girl was really angry this time.

"Have you seen the trending searches?"

Chen Yubai looked at the man with a violent look and thought he had seen the trending searches for Sang Wan and Xiao Yan.

A Reuters photo shows the first intimate scene between the two. Although they were a bit far apart, it still gave people a sense of atmosphere.

Originally, there were many Reuters reports on the Internet recently showing Sang Wan and Xiao Yan talking and laughing on the set. Now that the first kiss scene photo came out, it immediately became a hot topic.

"What's trending?"

Lu Tingzhou opened his phone and after reading the content, he drank all the wine in the glass.

To stimulate him again.

Chen Yubai understood something from the look on his face, but if this man didn't want to talk, no one could pry him open.

At this time, Su Mo was video chatting with Sang Wan.

Seeing that she was slightly tipsy, I knew she was in a bad mood, so I started to ask her questions.

"Are you missing him, or is he making you angry?"

"Don't mention him to me, I don't know him."

This girl gets emotional easily when she's drunk, and she hangs up the video when she hears something she doesn't want to hear.

Su Mo was puzzled and called Qi Qi directly.

When Su Mo heard that "Lu Tingzhou has a woman and a child abroad", he was shocked!

Damn it, isn’t this her fault? She was the one who found out the information!

As a result, he ended up betraying his own sisters.

It was late at night and everyone was asleep. Sang Wan was curled up on the sofa with a tilted wine bottle at his side and the air was filled with the strong smell of alcohol.

Only with the help of alcohol could she temporarily forget the dull pain in her heart.

But what lingered in her mind was Lu Tingzhou's heart-beating face.

His domineering kiss, the trembling when his calloused fingertips brushed against her skin, and everything he did for her...

Unfortunately, all this is just Mr. Lu’s loneliness.

He has another woman and a child.

And I was just a plaything for him to entertain himself during his free period.

Thinking of Song Xinran, Sang Wan remembered that Lu Tingzhou said he could cook because that person was picky about food, and she felt even more bitter.

…

The next day, seeing Shen Yubai walk into the office, Su Mo walked over angrily.

With a "bang", the door of Shen Yubai's office was kicked open by her.

At that time, Chen Yubai was lazily rocking his boss chair and fixing his hair in front of the mirror.

"Who is it? Are you looking for death..." Before he could finish his words, he saw the angry Su Mo.

Su Mo pointed at him, like a hedgehog with its fur blasted. "Chen Yubai, you are a liar, a big liar."

Chen Yu narrowed his peach blossom eyes, put down the mirror, and looked at her with interest: "Secretary Su, how did I lie to you that you are so angry?"

Su Mo rushed to his desk and slapped it. "You said Lu Tingzhou was a loner and kept himself clean! Damn it, his child is already old enough to help with cooking! You scumbags, birds of a feather flock together!"

Chen Yubai had originally wanted to tease her, get her to quit her job, and then wait for the little girl to beg him.

But when he heard her words, his face fell immediately, "Child? Lu Tingzhou has a child? How come I don't know?"

"You don't know?!" Su Mo laughed in anger. "You two are so close that you can't even wear the same pants. Don't you know he has an illegitimate child? Chen Yubai, I was really blind before. I thought you were a playboy, but at least you were loyal! Now it seems that you are birds of a feather. You are not good people. You cheat on people's feelings, get stye, rotten intestines, and sores on the soles of your feet."

Shen Yubai stared at her, so cruel!

"Su Mo, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want." Shen Yubai reacted and became anxious. "Lu Tingzhou, he...how could he have a child? Who told you that?"

"We all saw it with our own eyes, and you're still pretending."

Su Mo became angrier and angrier as he spoke. He took his work badge off his neck and slammed it on the table.

"I don't want to serve you anymore. I quit."

After saying that, he rushed out without looking back, leaving Shen Yubai alone in the office, talking to himself.

"Fuck, no, how is this possible?"

But thinking about Lu Tingzhou's condition last night, something was indeed wrong.

Su Mo drove straight to find Sang Wan in a hurry. She had to apologize.

When Qi Qi picked her up, Sang Wan was still filming professionally, and everything seemed normal on the surface.

"How is she?"

Qi Qi shook her head. She went to bed drunk last night and her eyes were swollen this morning. She applied ice packs on them for a long time.

After Sang Wan finished filming a scene, she saw Su Mo's eyes were a little sore, but she still smiled with pursed lips.

"Why are you here?"

"I'll stay with you for a while, on vacation."

On a weekend evening, Lu Tingzhou stood downstairs of the apartment building where Sang Wan rented, looking at the light and shadow upstairs, leaning against the car door and smoking silently.
