Chapter 133 Heartbroken
There was plenty of heating in the room, but Lu Zhizhang felt like his body was frozen.
He had never seen Su Yuan so emotional.
There was a long silence.
Lu Zhizhang took a deep breath, his heart aching to the point of numbness. He stood stiffly, looked at Su Yuan, whose eyes were red, and said in a low voice, "Su Yuan, I won't go back. After this divorce, I will never remarry. I'll give you one more night. Tomorrow morning at seven o'clock, tell me your final answer."
After saying that, the man turned and strode out of the bedroom.
When he opened the door, he saw Mother Lu standing outside with a worried look on her face. Seeing Lu Zhizhang coming out with red eyes, Mother Lu asked with concern: "Zhizhang, how is Yuanyuan? As a couple, they quarrel at the head of the bed and at the foot of the bed..."
Before Lu's mother could finish her words, Lu Zhizhang took a big step and walked past her.
Mother Lu just sighed and didn't think Lu Zhizhang disrespected her. Instead, she knocked on the door and entered the master bedroom.
When I walked in, I saw Su Yuan lying on the bed wiping her tears.
Mother Lu sat by the bed, holding Su Yuan's hand earnestly, "Yuanyuan, Zhizhang really loves you. He is much better than Lu Bingchen. Don't make the wrong choice."
"Mom, let me tell you something. Although Lu Bingchen is my biological son, he has never won any honors since he was a child. He has been timid and unsociable since he was a child. His grades are also average. Now he is in his thirties and has accomplished nothing. Don't let him fool you with a few words."
"Zhi Zhang is the only heir to the Lu family. He's the dream lover of countless young ladies. For so many years, he's been devoted to you. He's never had any other beautiful women around you that bothered you. You said you were worried about your figure changing after having children, and he accommodated you, saying that you could have another child if you wanted to. Only he can give you a happy and beautiful life..."
Mother Lu kept on listing all of Lu Bingchen's shortcomings from childhood to adulthood, and even said that if Lu Zhizhang hadn't been kind-hearted, she wouldn't have given birth to the child when she found out she was pregnant...
Su Yuan has heard these words from Lu's mother many times over the years.
But ever since she heard Lu Bingchen introduce Xie Yiyi as his wife in Sanya, she seemed to have gone crazy.
At this moment, what Lu's mother said seemed to have enlightened her a little.
Mother Lu continued, "Lu Bingchen used to steal money from home when he was little. When he was caught, he turned the tables and blamed Zhizhang. He's been a scoundrel ever since he was little. Now Zhizhang has been running the company for several years and is very successful, but Lu Bingchen still only has a small clinic. If Zhizhang hadn't supported him all these years, he would have collapsed long ago. I don't know what that little girl from the Xie family sees in him..."
Su Yuan took a breath and held Mother Lu's hand. "Mom, I'm a little tired and want to take a nap."
Mother Lu looked back on her impression of Lu Bingchen over the years and became angrier and angrier. In her heart, Lu Bingchen was a waste, not even one thousandth as good, obedient and filial as Lu Zhizhang.
Being interrupted by Su Yuan, Mother Lu stopped and patted the back of Su Yuan's hand gently, "Okay, then you can take a rest. After dinner, if you don't want to eat, Mom will ask the housekeeper to bring it to you."
"Thank you, Mom."
Soon, Su Yuan heard the sound of the door closing as Lu's mother left.
She opened her eyes again and looked at the pigeon egg diamond ring on her ring finger. Does she really love Lu Bingchen?
Is it really worth it to divorce Lu Bingchen and give up the status of the eldest lady of the Lu family that everyone envied?
The sky gradually darkened.
At six o'clock in the evening, the Lu family had dinner on time.
Su Yuan didn't go down.
Five minutes later, the housekeeper knocked on the door and came in with a tray full of her favorite dishes.
"Madam, this is what Madam asked me to bring up."
Su Yuan asked her to put it on the coffee table in front of the sofa. When the housekeeper closed the door and was about to leave, she said softly, "Uncle Xiang, please say thank you to Mom for me."
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Oh, okay."
Su Yuan knew it very well.
Lu's mother was very obedient to her and loved her more than her own daughter. It was not because of her family background. In terms of family background, Xie Yiyi was much better than hers, but Lu's mother still favored her because of Lu Zhizhang.
In the Lu family, everyone favors Lu Zhizhang.
Not long after the meal, Su Yuan sent a message to the housekeeper to come up and clean up the dishes.
She went to the bedroom and took a shower.
Blow-dry your hair.
Sprayed perfume.
She changed into a skirt that Lu Zhizhang liked and put on light makeup.
Su Yuan pursed her lips in the mirror and walked out of the bedroom.
"Dong Dong Dong"
Su Yuan bent her hand and knocked on the study door.
After a while, Lu Zhizhang's low cough was heard from inside the door, "Go away, no one is allowed to come in."
Su Yuan paused, but still put her hand on the door handle and turned the door open with a little force.
She walked in.
The house was dark and filled with smoke.
"Cough cough——" She covered her mouth and coughed twice.
Almost at the moment the voice was heard, a slight noise came from the sofa.
Lu Zhizhang's dark eyes met her gaze in astonishment, his voice hoarse and silent, "Why are you here?"
“Ahem…”
Su Yuan coughed and walked up to him step by step. She looked into his dark and complicated eyes, and her eyes suddenly turned red. "I'll tell you the answer."
Lu Zhizhang's breathing became tight, and his thin lips were pursed into a straight line.
But the next second, a familiar perfume rushed into his arms and filled his breath.
The neck was hugged tightly.
The woman's trembling voice of admitting her mistake rang in my ears, "Zhi Zhang, I was wrong, I'm sorry..."
Lu Zhizhang didn't move.
Su Yuan took the initiative to kiss his lips, "I don't want to get divorced."
After kissing for a long time, Lu Zhizhang finally spoke, "Are you sure?"
Just a few hours ago, Su Yuan was determined to divorce him, saying that she and Lu Bingchen had made a vow that Lu Bingchen would love her forever, and he was just the wrong choice she made to anger Lu Bingchen.
"Yeah." Su Yuan responded seriously.
Her lips parted, actively and passionately showing him her true feelings.
Their breaths entangled, Lu Zhizhang's eyes darkened, he clasped the back of her neck with his palm and pressed her back on the sofa.
"Zhizhang..."
When Su Yuan came over, she had a condom in her pocket.
She handed it to Lu Zhizhang's palm. Lu Zhizhang looked at her, his dark eyes darkened, and he ignored her and kissed her lips directly.
Su Yuan's back tightened.
She wasn't sure if he hadn't grasped her meaning or if it was too late.
She bit her lower lip and closed her eyes helplessly. Although taking medicine is bad for the body, one or two times will not have much impact.
…
Su Yuan didn't know when Lu Zhizhang brought her back to the master bedroom.
In the early morning, I was woken up by the dazzling light.
My whole body feels sore.
She propped herself up and frowned as she looked at the bright lights in the bedroom. Lu Zhizhang walked in from the cloakroom next door in a suit and tie.
"Why did you turn on the headlights? They were so bright that they woke me up."
Since getting married, Su Yuan has not worked again and usually sleeps until nine or ten o'clock.
Every time Lu Zhizhang got up, he would only turn on the dimmest night light and go to the cloakroom in the dark to put on eye protection clothes, for fear of waking her up.
Lu Zhizhang walked to the bedside with a tie, "You're awake now. Take a look at the agreement on the bedside table. If you have no objection, please sign and put your fingerprint on it."
Su Yuan rubbed her eyes. What kind of agreement did he ask her to sign so early in the morning?
Are we going to transfer some assets to her again?
Five minutes later, Su Yuan finished reading the agreement and her face suddenly turned pale. She looked up at the man standing beside the bed and asked, "Lu Zhizhang, what do you mean by this?"
Lu Zhizhang handed her the tie in his hand and motioned for her to tie it for him. "That's exactly what it means."
"Over the years, I have indulged you too much, which has given you and Lu Bingchen the opportunity to have an affair after marriage. If you sign this document and follow the instructions above, you will still be my beloved wife and the respected eldest young lady of the Lu family."
"If you don't want to, I'll take a leave of absence from the morning meeting. Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the divorce certificate."
Su Yuan seemed to have lost her strength and fell onto the bed.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the trash can next to the bedside table, which was full of unused condoms and the birth control pills she had bought as spares.
The agreement stipulated that if she filed for divorce again, she would not only have to leave the house and pay a heavy price, but she would also have to get pregnant within three months and give birth to a boy within three years.
Lu Zhizhang's dark eyes were cold, and he raised his wrist to look at his watch. "Su Yuan, I'm going to be late. Will you sign?"
Su Yuan pursed her lips, "Lu Zhizhang, do you love me?"
Lu Zhizhang replied: "Of course I love you, but from now on, I will only love you as always if you love me."
Su Yuan looked at the terms and was silent for three seconds. Then she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Okay, I'll sign."
She held the pen and wrote her name stroke by stroke.
Her dark eyes darkened. It was all Xie Yiyi's fault. She had ruined a good hand of cards.
After signing, Su Yuan pressed her fingerprints, half-knelt naked on the bed, and helped Lu Zhizhang tie his tie.
Before leaving, Lu Zhizhang kissed her until she was breathless, and asked her to contact a doctor, take care of her body and start preparing for pregnancy.
After Lu Zhizhang left, Su Yuan leaned on the bed.
Even if she wants to have a child, her current life is better than the life after the divorce, where she and Lu Bingchen are laughed at by people in the circle.
Lu Bingchen, why are you so disappointing?
Why aren't you the heir of the Lu family!
-
Nine o'clock in the morning.
Lu Bingchen and Xie Yiyi took their household registration information to the household registration office.
I thought everything was going smoothly, but the staff member said regretfully: "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry, but you need the consent of the homeowner to leave the house."
Lu Bingchen said: "I have already communicated with the owner."
Staff: "Mr. Lu, we just contacted your mother, Mrs. Lu, by phone. She said she disagrees and is on her way. You two can wait for a moment."
Lu Bingchen and Xie Yiyi looked at each other and both frowned.
"What else does she want to do?"
Lu Bingchen patted her shoulder and smiled thinly: "It's okay, no matter what happens today, I will leave the Lu family."
A hint of determination and coldness flashed across the man's eyes. He knew very well that only by getting out of the swamp and mire of the Lu family could he gain Xie Yiyi's recognition.
So no matter what his biological mother did, he had to start his own business.
Mother Lu and her driver arrived quickly.
In less than twenty minutes, we arrived at the mediation room.
Mother Lu said, "If you want to leave the Lu family and sever all ties with me, that's fine. Just give me 100 million yuan as compensation for the hardship I endured carrying you for ten months and raising you, an ungrateful and unfilial son, for over thirty years."
Xie Yiyi's eyes widened. "One hundred million? Madam Lu, you're asking for too much, aren't you? Lu Bingchen has spent less than one percent of one hundred million in all the years he's been in the Lu family, right? He grew up picking up clothes that Lu Zhizhang discarded, and after graduating from junior high school, you threw him abroad. He had to work part-time to complete his studies. How can you be so shameless?"
Mother Lu said coldly, "Why should I be embarrassed? Just because I'm his mother, I gave birth to him and gave him life, so I feel comfortable. I raised him up to this age, and now that he's become a wealthy woman, you want to cut ties with the Lu family. How can it be so easy? Either give me money, or you'll be a member of the Lu family in life and a ghost of the Lu family in death!"
"you!"
Xie Yiyi was so angry that she wanted to take action.
Lu Bingchen reached out to stop her.
The man looked at his mother with an indifferent expression and felt a chill in his heart.
I originally thought that Mother Lu was unwilling to split up because she still had some love for her, so even if they split up, he would not neglect her retirement.
But unexpectedly, Lu's mother refused because she wanted money.
Lu Bingchen's dark eyes were filled with disappointment. He chuckled and said, "You want 100 million because Big Brother lost 100 million on a real estate project last year, right? We've resumed work today, and the Lu Corporation will soon hold a shareholders' meeting. If Big Brother can't make up for this loss, he'll be condemned by the shareholders."
Mother Lu said with a cold face, "So what? He is your eldest brother. He is in trouble. As his younger brother, shouldn't you help him?"
Lu Bingchen found it funny: "How do you think a lousy psychologist like me can afford to come up with 100 million to help him fill the hole?"
Mother Lu glanced at Xie Yiyi and snorted, "You don't have it, but your wife's family does. She pushed you to split up, so shouldn't she give something in return?"
"I'm putting my words here today. If you want to split up, you can do so as long as you have 100 million. If you don't have the money, then forget it. If you don't want to split up, Lu Bingchen, I'm your mother, and I can ask you to divorce her. The Lu family won't tolerate such a cruel and disrespectful daughter-in-law who doesn't respect her parents-in-law and brothers and sisters-in-law!"
Lu Bingchen smiled bitterly twice again.
He has been a psychologist for so many years and has met many girls who have psychological problems due to the "preferential treatment of boys over girls". He never expected that one day, he, a man in his thirties, would be treated like a commodity and sold by weight by his own biological mother.
Lu Bingchen asked, "Have you ever thought that if I asked the Xie family for this 100 million, I would never be able to hold my head up in front of the Xie family in my life?"
Mother Lu said in a cold tone, "This is your own choice."
Xie Yiyi frowned. Some people are really not worthy of being mothers.
She couldn't help but wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Lu Bingchen raising his hand.
"good."
Lu Bingchen's dark eyes turned cold, no longer thinking about family affection. "One hundred million, I can give it to you. Just think of it as a high price to buy out everything the Lu family has given me."
Mother Lu was a little surprised to hear her son's cold and firm voice.
One hundred million is not a small sum even for the Xie family.
I thought it would take a long time to bargain, but I didn't expect Lu Bingchen to agree without even discussing it with Xie Yiyi.
Does he have money himself?
The thought flashed through my mind.
Where does a sloppy and crappy psychologist get the money?
Lu's mother also knew that in addition to working in the clinic from nine to five, Lu Bingchen would hang out in nightclubs and bars whenever he had time, and he probably relied on Lu Zhizhang for support on a daily basis.
Such a useless son caused chaos in the family.
Mother Lu couldn't help but look at Xie Yiyi, "Are you sure?"
Xie Yiyi noticed her gaze, rolled his eyes and snorted coldly.
Why are you looking at her?
Lu Bingchen doesn't lack this little money.
Lu Bingchen said coldly, "Since you want this 100 million, you have completely bought out my relationship with the Lu family. From now on, I will have no further contact with the Lu family, and I will not care about your and Dad's retirement issues. I will no longer have any favors with you."
Mother Lu laughed sarcastically and said, "Oh, can your father and I still count on you to support us in our old age? You might as well just die by then!"
