At their first meeting, Sang Wan took one look at Lu Tingzhou and was immediately drawn to him. At their next meeting, she approached him with a purpose, deliberately teasing and provoking him. Som...
Chapter 77 The Heartless Little Fox
The evening breeze was cool, blowing up her long hair and a corner of her skirt.
"Xu Shiming."
Her voice was soft, but it reached the man's ears clearly.
When Xu Shiming saw her, the madness in his eyes became even more intense, mixed with resentment and greed.
"You finally came out. I tell you, give me five hundred million, otherwise..."
"How about this?" Sang Wan interrupted him, a mocking sneer on her lips, "How about I hand all your extramarital affairs and embezzlement of public funds over to the police?"
Xu Shiming's face turned pale, and he tried to argue, "You...you're talking nonsense!"
"You know whether I'm talking nonsense or not." Sang Wan approached step by step, his aura fully released. "Since you've worked so hard on your acting, I'll let you go. You'd better quit while you're ahead."
"Behave yourself and I won't pursue the matter. Otherwise, you'll have to spend several years in jail just for embezzling public funds."
Her voice was powerful.
"That's what I deserve. I really wanted to marry Sang Jingchu, but she didn't accept me and wouldn't let me touch her. She's a bitch, and she's pretending to be noble."
Lu Tingzhou couldn't stand it anymore and raised his hand. Two bodyguards in black arrived from behind. They grabbed Xu Shiming, who was still cursing, on the left and right, and dragged him away from the scene like a dead dog.
The world suddenly becomes quiet.
Lu Tingzhou took off his windbreaker, put it on her thin shoulders, and hugged her again.
"Why aren't you listening?" His tone was filled with a hint of blame, but more of it was a deep sense of heartache. "There's no need to pay attention to him. If he makes trouble again, just call the police."
Sang Wan buried her face in his warm chest and said sullenly, "After all... I've called him Dad for over twenty years, and we've lived under the same roof for over twenty years."
"Silly girl." Lu Tingzhou kissed the top of her head. "When dealing with jackals, any mercy is cruelty to yourself. Everything he has now is the retribution he deserves."
She said nothing more, but just hugged the man who held up the sky for her even tighter.
That night, Lin Hao brought a gold medal lawyer and "visited" Xu Shiming directly.
The lawyer pushed a thick document in front of him.
"Mr. Xu, this is all the evidence we've found. It shows that while you were the general manager of Sang Corporation, you abused your position to embezzle public funds and transfer benefits."
"This amount is enough for you to spend the rest of your life in prison."
"Boss Lu said that considering the past relationship between you and Miss Sang, he will give you a chance. Don't appear in front of Miss Sang again, otherwise these will become evidence that will lead to your imprisonment."
Xu Shiming looked at the detailed evidence of every transfer, his face pale and his whole body covered in cold sweat.
He knew that he was completely finished.
…
The next day, Sang Wan drove alone to a nursing home on the outskirts of the city.
After resting for two days, she felt relaxed and in good spirits, so she came to visit her grandfather.
The old man is in good spirits and didn't sleep today.
Seeing that the weather was good, Sang Wan pushed him for a walk in the small garden.
Uncle Liu followed them with a blanket.
"Wanwan, don't worry. The old man has been able to eat and sleep well recently. Apart from his unclear mind, all his physical indicators are normal."
Sang Wan was happy to hear this, "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Liu."
Uncle Liu smiled politely, "It's my duty. You've been very kind to me, so I should be devoted to you, old man."
At this time, Uncle Liu's cell phone rang. When he took out the phone and saw the name on it, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
Looking at Sang Wan's back, she pursed her lips and said, "Wan Wan, I'm going to take a call. Please sit with the old man for a while."
Sang Wan nodded. It was early autumn and the afternoon sun was warm. She pushed her grandfather to sit down next to the rockery.
Because it was a little windy, she was afraid that her grandfather would catch a cold, and she remembered that the blanket was in Uncle Liu's hand.
He stood up and walked towards Uncle Liu who was answering the phone not far away.
The garden was very quiet. As Sang Wan approached, she could vaguely hear his low voice.
"...Don't worry, the medicine...will be given to him on time..."
"It'll be fine."
Sang Wan didn't take it seriously and called out "Uncle Liu" lightly.
Uncle Liu didn't turn around. Sang Wan only felt his back tighten, followed by a "pop" sound, and the phone fell directly to the ground.
"Uncle Liu, what's wrong?" Sang Wan walked over with a smile, his tone relaxed and natural.
"Nothing...nothing..." Uncle Liu bent down to pick up his phone, beads of sweat already oozing from his forehead. "Something happened at home...something happened at home. I was a little absent-minded and scared you."
Sang Wan looked at his evasive gaze and felt a little worried. "Did you encounter any difficulties? Uncle Liu, you have taken good care of my grandfather. If there is anything, you can tell me. I will definitely help if I can."
"No, don't bother. It's a small matter. I can handle it myself." Uncle Liu waved his hands repeatedly, but he didn't dare to look her in the eye.
Sang Wan nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Her intuition told her that Uncle Liu had something to do.
After coming out of the sanatorium, Sang Wan sat in the car and felt a little worried when she thought of Uncle Liu's nervousness again.
She took out her cell phone and dialed Qi Qi's number.
"Qi Qi, find someone to check on Liu Zhiqiang, the caregiver who takes care of my grandfather."
"Go see if anything happened at his home. I don't want him to be distracted from taking care of grandpa."
After hanging up the phone, Sang Wan looked at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window, and her eyes grew colder little by little.
At best, she was overthinking it.
…
Although there was no news online that Song Xinran had plagiarized, several companies that had originally planned to hire her with high salaries rejected her at the same time.
These days, she has been hiding at home, drinking to drown her sorrows.
"Sister, don't give up on yourself. Giving up like this would be too easy for Sang Wan."
Song Ziqian hates Sang Wan, but everyone in the crew flatters her and likes her.
In addition to her relationship with Lu Tingzhou, she is like a little princess every day, with so many people surrounding her and bodyguards protecting her 24 hours a day.
She debuted a year earlier than Sang Wan, and the two were originally evenly matched. But now, because she hooked up with Lu Tingzhou, he stepped on her.
"What else can I do? Sun Meixi said that the old man of the Lu family has already started looking for a marriage partner for Lu Tingzhou. I was never in his eyes to begin with. I was just a knife he used to force Sang Wan away."
Song Xinran was holding a bottle of wine, his eyes slightly tipsy.
"You still have Kaikai. As long as Kaikai is in our hands, Lu Tingzhou will never ignore you."
Song Ziqian knew that it would be difficult for Song Xinran to enter the Lu family, but as long as that person was not Sang Wan, it would be fine.
Jealousy makes people distorted, and she is the distorted person.
She just wanted to watch Sang Wan fall from the clouds into the quagmire, and after Lu Tingzhou got tired of her and threw her away, she wanted to watch her rot in the mud.
"Sis, since those big companies have rejected you, why don't you go find Lu Tingzhou and ask her to set up a studio for you? That way, you can be the boss and don't have to worry about other people's opinions anymore."
Song Xinran's eyes lit up after he had just taken a sip of wine.
If you can't get people, you have to find a way to get money and resources.
The next day at noon, Lu Tingzhou received a call from his grandfather, asking him to go to Mo Yuxuan, saying that a few old friends hadn't seen him for a long time and wanted to have dinner together.
Lu Tingzhou didn't take it seriously and went directly to Mo Yuxuan after get off work.
What he didn't expect was that there were only four people in the private room, Lu Qishan, the Lin couple and Lin Yao.
Lu Tingzhou understood instantly.
A cold look gradually gathered on the originally calm face.
"Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin."
But we still have to be polite. It takes two to tango.
"Tingzhou, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why do you look thinner than the last time I saw you?"
Lin Yao sat aside with a gentle smile on her face, and there was light in her eyes when she looked at Lu Tingzhou.
Which girl doesn't like a man with elegant manners and extraordinary bearing?
Lu Tingzhou is the most attractive person in the socialite circle of Shenzhen, but it's a pity that Sang Wan got him.
Fortunately, she still has a chance. If Lu Qishan doesn't accept Sang Wan, then don't blame her for trying to steal her away.
"I've been quite busy lately." Lu Tingzhou and Sang Wan said indifferently.
Lu Qishan curled his lips indifferently, sneered in his heart, and was busy chasing women.
He was bewitched by a little vixen and often ran away. Fortunately, he was there to keep an eye on the second child, otherwise who knows if he would cause trouble behind his back.
I always thought the third brother was the most resilient, but I didn't expect that he would announce his relationship on the company's official website for a woman.
He can really do it.
"Brother Tingzhou, you must be hungry. Try this. Uncle Lu said you have a light taste, so this should suit you very well."
Lin Yao generously picked up some food for him, but Lu Tingzhou slightly moved the bowl and chopsticks in front of him.
"Thank you, I can do it myself."
Her face was stiff and she was at a loss. The Lin couple gave their daughter a look and asked her to pick up some food for Lu Qishan.
"Then I'll give it to Uncle Lu and let him have a taste."
Lin Yao was upset, but she couldn't lose her temper. She truly loved Lu Tingzhou. Seeing her parents' expressions, a smile curved up her lips again.
Lu Qishan was very happy. The child was quick-witted and did not get angry. Instead, he picked up some food for him to ease the awkwardness.
I couldn't help but give Lin Yao a score of 90 in my heart.
After the meal, except for Lu Tingzhou, the other four people were in great joy.
Sang Wan got up late and made an appointment with Su Mo and Bai Wei to have dinner together.
After finishing the meal and paying the bill, I saw Lu Tingzhou standing next to Lu Qishan, and came out with the Lin family of three.
Lu Qishan was chatting and laughing with Lin's father, while Lin Yao, who was standing next to him, locked her eyes on Lu Tingzhou. She looked shy and timid, and one could see through her thoughts at a glance.
Their eyes met, and just as Lu Tingzhou was about to take a step forward, he was stopped by Lu Qishan.
"If you dare to go over there, I'll embarrass her now."
Lu Tingzhou pressed his thin lips into a line and said in a low voice, "Don't bother with it. You can't control me."
Lu Qishan snorted, "I tell you, that woman surnamed Sang will never be able to enter my Lu family!"
Lu Tingzhou remained calm, "Unless I don't get married, she will be my wife."
The old man glared at him angrily, but because of the presence of the Lin family, he did not lose his temper.
Seeing that Lu Tingzhou didn't say anything, Sang Wan, as well as Lu Qishan and the outsiders, didn't come forward, but left with me, Su Mo, and Bai Wei.
"What does Lu Tingzhou mean? Is he pretending not to know him?" Su Mo muttered, "What is he doing? A blind date?"
Bai Wei gave her a look that seemed to say: Sister, stop telling the truth.
Su Mo understood and immediately made a gesture of closing his mouth.
Her Sang Wan finally had a few days of happiness, but she was so dumb with her broken mouth.
Although Sang Wan didn't say it, she knew in her heart that Lu Qishan was hoping that she would have a quarrel with Lu Tingzhou, and it would be best if they would never have anything to do with each other again.
She believed that Lu Tingzhou was not willing to do it.
So I didn't take it seriously. After shopping with Su Mo for two hours, I felt a little tired when I got home and fell asleep directly.
In a daze, she felt the bed beside her collapse a little, and then a strong hand held her in his arms.
"Why are you back?" Sang Wan rubbed her eyes. "Did I sleep for a long time?"
"No, there's nothing important this afternoon, so I'll be back soon."
Lu Tingzhou's warm lips fell on her earlobe, making her feel itchy.
"Stop it."
Sang Wan pushed him.
"You little heartless thing, I was worried you'd be angry, but I didn't expect you to sleep so soundly."
Lu Tingzhou kissed her and bit her earlobe lightly.
