Her son was raised to be so outstanding, yet he turned out like this because of these two women. It was like tearing her heart out and stabbing her lungs. If murder were not illegal, she would want to go out and kill those two women right now.
Lu Yunzhou listened to his mother's hoarse rebuke, feeling a mix of emotions. It would be impossible for him not to be moved at all.
That was his mother, who gave birth to him and raised him, but only thought of herself.
He used to be too impulsive, acted without considering the consequences, and was selfish and willful.
But he couldn't bring himself to give up Su Yuxi.
"Son, will you promise me? Go see Miss Wu tomorrow."
"Do you remember her? She used to follow you around like a shadow, calling you 'brother' this and 'brother' that. Didn't you love playing with her?"
"Later she went abroad to study business. Now she has returned with her academic achievements. If you two are together, she can help you manage the company in the future. Moreover, with the help of her family, you will soon be able to regain control of the Lu family."
"From now on, no matter who you want to find, whether it's Su Yuxi or Xi Yuxi, I won't interfere."
"Is it alright?" She stared at her wavering son with bloodshot eyes, her last hope for the future.
Lu Yunzhou lowered his head, avoiding her expectant gaze, his dejection barely concealed.
Finally, under her relentless gaze, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.
He can no longer be so willful.
When Lu's mother saw him nod, she smiled through her tears. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, held his hand, and said excitedly, "Good, my son has finally grown up and become sensible."
...
The night was deep and all was quiet. The pale moonlight shone through the window like a soft veil, falling perfectly on the face of the person sleeping soundly in bed.
Under the moonlight, her face was half-hidden, and the interplay of light and shadow made her appear exceptionally beautiful.
When Fu Huaijin returned from outside, he first went to his room to take a quick shower to wash away his fatigue, and then entered Su Yuxi's room with ease.
As soon as he opened the door, a faint floral fragrance filled the air. The room was at a comfortable temperature. Through the moonlight, he saw the person on the bed curled up in a soft silk quilt. He held his breath, lifted his feet lightly, and walked step by step to the bedside.
He stood quietly by the bed, gazing at her. When the dampness on his body dissipated and his fingers stopped trembling, he was about to lie down when the person on the bed seemed to sense someone approaching. Her nose twitched twice, and perhaps realizing that the person was not dangerous, she casually pulled the blanket over herself, turned over, and continued to sleep.
Fu Huaijin waited until the person on the bed resumed breathing steadily and was sure they were sound asleep before slowly sitting up on the bed, carefully lying down, closing his eyes, and falling asleep.
The next day, he was too tired and hadn't slept enough the night before, so he couldn't get up and leave before six o'clock.
When Su Yuxi opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was a man sleeping next to her.
Her heart skipped a few beats, and she thought she was seeing things. She blinked a few times until her vision was fully focused. The man sleeping next to her had his eyes closed and was breathing evenly. His face was all too familiar.
She turned her head blankly, and three seconds later, almost instinctively, her small hand reached for the pillow under her head, pulled it up forcefully, and slammed it hard against him.
But halfway through, she remembered that he was now her sugar daddy, and wondered if she would lose money if she hit him. So, at the critical moment, when the pillow was only a centimeter away from his face, she stopped.
Fu Huaijin was startled awake by the strong wind from the pillow. He opened his eyes and saw the pillow right in front of him, then ran away in a flash.
His sleepiness vanished completely, his eyes became clear, and remembering that he was in someone else's room, he calmly looked at the other person next to him.
Su Yuxi knelt on the bed, holding a pillow in her hands, her eyes crinkling with laughter, revealing her perfect eight teeth: "You're awake."
His face changes faster than turning the pages of a book.
"Can we discuss this in the future?"
She pointed at him and said, "You're a man."
She then pointed to herself: "I am a woman."
"We have an employer-employee relationship, so we can't sleep in the same bed."
"You know what I mean."
She practically spat out the last four words through gritted teeth; if time could go back to the day before, she would have bitten him.
She said she smelled his scent in her room yesterday, which meant he had come over to sleep with her.
Now that she's caught him red-handed, let's see how he tries to deny it.
Fu Huaijin wasn't embarrassed by being caught. He clutched his throbbing heart, calmly and slowly sat up from the bed, leaning his back against the headboard, gently rubbing his throbbing temples, and nonchalantly responded.
How can I sleep?
He got straight to the point about how to solve the problem because he had tried many times and could only sleep peacefully by Su Yuxi's side. In order to be able to lie in the same bed with her legitimately in the future, he might as well lay everything out in the open.
"What?" Su Yuxi was a little confused after waking up and couldn't understand the meaning of his words for a moment.
Fu Huaijin raised his eyes, his gaze intensely aggressive, his voice husky with the languor of someone just waking up: "How can I sleep with you?"
The words were spoken so naturally that she almost mistook them for having a legitimate relationship.
"Fu Huaijin, are you still asleep? We have an employer-employee relationship, not a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. We can't sleep together, do you understand?"
You're such a big man, you don't seem to be clueless. Didn't your mother teach you?
Fu Huaijin lowered his head, his sparse bangs falling down to cover his dark, inky eyes. After a long while, he said something shocking: "Then be my girlfriend."
The next second, a pillow hit him directly on the head.
Su Yuxi angrily stood up from the bed, looking down at him. An impulse surged within her, wanting to kick his handsome face to show him her power and his utter nonsense.
However, upon seeing his pale and weak complexion, his anger vanished as if doused with cold water.
After some hesitation, she finally jumped out of bed, strode towards the door, opened it, and glared at him with her bright black eyes, as if she wanted to glare a hole through him: "This is my room, get out."
This was the first time Fu Huaijin had been kicked out of the house. His gaze was fixed on her, a hint of confusion rising in his eyes. He was also thinking to himself whether what he had just said was wrong.
Why get angry?
He just wants to sleep next to her, but he won't do anything to her. If he has to be in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship before he can sleep with her, then that's fine too. What is there for her to be angry about?
Unable to understand why she was angry, and seeing her puffed-up face, Fu Huaijin sighed slightly, thinking that he would discuss it with her after she calmed down.
