Chapter 135 Confession
Su Yuan's heart sank suddenly.
Breathing is stagnant.
Isn't Lu Bingchen a waste of the Lu family? How could he be a famous investment expert at home and abroad? And he could easily come up with 500 billion US dollars!
Su Yuan didn't hear a word Xie Peifeng said afterwards. Her mind was blank and buzzing.
"Dad, Bingchen!"
Another pleasant female voice sounded.
Su Yuan saw Xie Peifeng and Lu Bingchen turn around at the same time, and saw Xie Yiyi walking towards the man with confidence and brightness.
Her fists clenched in jealousy.
Xie Yiyi is an international supermodel with an outstanding figure and appearance. Today, she is wearing a high-end red dress, which makes her look like a thorny red rose under the moon. She is so charming that everyone who sees her can't take their eyes off her.
But what made Su Yuan unable to take her eyes away was the "Spring Ivy Butterfly Shadow" diamond necklace on Xie Yiyi's neck!
Sparkling and dazzling.
This was an item auctioned at a charity dinner not long ago. Su Yuan fell in love with it at first sight. Later, she heard that it was successfully bought by a "Mr. Lu" for five million yuan.
She had always believed that the only "Mr. Lu" in Beijing who could afford this piece of jewelry was her husband Lu Zhizhang, and she had always believed that this was a surprise Lu Zhizhang had prepared for her birthday in half a month.
But Fan never expected that it was Lu Bingchen who took the photo and put it around Xie Yiyi's neck!
An indescribable feeling of sourness and suffocation came over my heart.
Over there, Lu Bing held Xie Yiyi's waist affectionately, and while Xie Peifeng was talking to the organizer, the two of them were whispering openly there.
There was an ambiguous smile in Lu Bingchen's eyes. Xie Yiyi's cheeks turned red visibly and she gave him a shy look.
Su Yuan pursed her lips, her heart aching, and she couldn't help but recall the scenes when she was still dating Lu Bingchen.
Suddenly, my wrist tightened.
The pain immediately brought her out of her memories.
When she raised her eyes, she was met with Lu Zhizhang's cold face and dark eyes.
"Zhi Zhang..." Su Yuan's heart suddenly tightened, as if she had done something bad and was discovered.
Lu Zhizhang glanced at her coldly, and without speaking to her, he pulled her hand and left the spot, "Sorry, I have something to do with my wife."
"Zhi Zhang, slow down..."
Su Yuan was dragged away by him with a cold face.
Quite embarrassing.
Su Yuan didn't look back, but she vaguely heard the words of the rich ladies who had just complimented her, and her cheeks turned red.
"It seems that Mr. Lu doesn't dote on Su Yuan that much, right? He dragged her away with a cold face, not giving Su Yuan any face at all."
"You don't know, right? Su Yuan was actually in a relationship with my younger brother?"
"What? Then why did you end up marrying the eldest brother?"
"Heh... maybe he just dislikes his younger brother for being a coward. The Lu family has complicated relationships. The current Madam Lu is the patriarch's concubine. The eldest brother is the son of the original wife, but the concubine is also the original wife's sister. The original wife had a difficult childbirth and asked her sister to take care of her newborn son before she died. So, although the eldest son has lost his biological mother, he has always been favored by the whole family. Although the youngest son has a biological mother, his mother's heart is always above her own nephew."
"Do you know what the youngest son's biological mother did when he separated from the family a few days ago?"
"What, what? You always talk like this. It's annoying to keep people in suspense!"
"The mother wants her youngest son to pay 100 million!"
"My God, is this still my biological mother? No wonder my youngest son has always been so secretive. He's actually so amazing that he gave out 500 billion US dollars in one go to help his father-in-law fill the funding gap. If Madam Lu knew that her own son was so outstanding, wouldn't she be so angry that she would vomit blood?"
"Haha, this shows how clever the Xie family is..."
…
As soon as Su Yuan left, the tone of the compliments to her from the rich wives' circle suddenly changed, and those who knew some inside information attacked the Lu family.
On this side, Su Yuan was forcibly held by Lu Zhizhang's wrist until they entered an empty private room. Only then did Lu Zhizhang stop and release his restraint on her.
"Zhi Zhang, you're pulling me so hard..."
Su Yuan frowned and rubbed her red wrist. Before she could finish her words, a loud slap suddenly sounded.
After a sudden burst of tinnitus, a dense stabbing pain came from the left cheek.
Su Yuan felt pain and looked at Lu Zhizhang in disbelief and grievance, "Are you crazy?!"
This was the first time Lu Zhizhang hit her.
Lu Zhizhang's face was cold. In the past, whenever Su Yuan felt wronged, he would bend down and comfort her with gentle words. But this time, his dark eyes stared at her coldly, "Su Yuan, it's only been less than a month. Have you forgotten the agreement you signed?"
"I told you that if you have any other thoughts about Lu Bingchen, I will not be soft on you."
Lu Zhizhang approached her and sneered, "You can't let him go? Look, he saw me coming, and you didn't even notice?"
Su Yuan's heart sank.
She felt the dangerous pressure brought to her by Lu Zhizhang.
Although she took the initiative to give in that night, the two did not divorce and reconciled.
But since then, she clearly felt that Lu Zhizhang's attitude towards her had changed.
He is no longer the husband who obeys her in everything.
She gradually became more cautious and fearful towards him.
Su Yuan covered her burning face and shook her head, explaining aggrievedly, "No, Zhizhang, listen to my explanation..."
Lu Zhizhang interrupted him and said, "I don't want to hear that you still have any lingering thoughts about Lu Bingchen. Su Yuan, you were the one who said you didn't want a divorce and reconciliation. I've given you a chance. From now on, there will be no divorce, only widowhood."
"It's been a month, and you still haven't felt any movement in your belly? Are you secretly taking birth control pills again?"
Su Yuan's breathing tightened. "No, Zhizhang, I've been actively cooperating with the pregnancy preparations recently."
Lu Zhizhang snorted coldly, "You'd better be like this."
The next second, Lu Zhizhang grabbed Su Yuan's neck and kissed her.
The smell of blood spread unrestrainedly in the mouth.
But she couldn't resist and could only silently endure the man's passionate kiss.
Each box has a bed for guests to rest.
Su Yuan lay on the bed, gritting her teeth and enduring everything Lu Zhizhang brought her.
He is not gentle at all, like a wild beast who only wants to reproduce.
After finishing, the man pulled himself out of bed.
Wearing black suit pants, a white shirt and tie, everything was calm, as if nothing had happened.
Su Yuan lay on the bed like a tattered doll that was not cherished. She saw the man take out a cigarette from the cigarette box, light it, take a deep breath into his lungs, and exhale the pungent smell of nicotine.
"Cough cough..." She coughed twice uncomfortably.
Lu Zhizhang's dark eyes fell on her tear-stained face, and his tone was cold: "Rest for a while and go home first. I have an appointment tonight. Pay more attention to preparing for pregnancy and go to the hospital for a checkup. I promised to give you three months. If you still can't get pregnant in two months, don't blame me for finding another woman to bear my child."
After Lu Zhizhang finished speaking, he took another puff of his cigarette, adjusted his tie, and walked towards the door of the box.
As the box door closed again, suppressed crying sounds were heard in the room.
On the messy bed, Su Yuan's hands with red joints tightly grasped the wrinkled sheets. Her body gradually became cold, but her heart was tightening.
Why did it turn out like this.
Lu Bingchen, you are so outstanding, why did you lie to me?
Su Yuan cried for a while, and when the physical pain eased, she slowly sat up from the bed.
Wear a gorgeous dress.
Wear good jewelry.
Tidy up your messy hair.
She drew her eyebrows and put on lipstick in front of the mirror to hide her dishevelled appearance, as if she had become the enviable Mrs. Lu again.
Su Yuan looked at herself in the mirror and tried to smile, but she couldn't.
After making sure there were no flaws, she walked towards the box door, took a deep breath, and opened it.
Unexpectedly, the box opposite was also pushed open.
Su Yuan's body stiffened as she saw Lu Bingchen, dressed in a suit and tie, stepping out from the box opposite. In the man's arms was Xie Yiyi, a charming and dazzling woman in a red dress.
Lu Bingchen was turning his head to talk to Xie Yiyi and was not looking forward.
After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look forward and saw Su Yuan's aggrieved and surprised face.
Su Yuan opened her mouth and wanted to say hello.
But before she could speak, the gentle and doting smile on Lu Bingchen's face disappeared instantly the moment she looked into his eyes.
The man's gaze on her face instantly lost focus, as if she were air.
Su Yuan felt like something was pulling at her heart.
Here, Lu Bingchen hugged Xie Yiyi's slender waist and whispered, "Watch out for the skirt under your feet, let's go."
"Um."
Xie Yiyi responded.
She also saw Su Yuan, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She didn't expect it to be such a coincidence?
Xie Peifeng brought Lu Bingchen to a social event tonight. Lu Bingchen was drunk, and his father asked her to take him to a private room to rest for a while.
I didn't expect that this guy was just pretending.
After playing in the box for half an hour, the two thought it was time to slip away and prepared to leave the banquet hall.
"Bingchen!"
Before they had taken two steps, Su Yuan caught up with them and blocked their way.
Xie Yiyi raised her eyebrows. She was taller than Su Yuan. She lowered her eyes to look at her pitiful little face, her eyes slightly red. She looked so pitiful.
What's even more amazing is that the only thing in her eyes was Lu Bingchen's figure, completely ignoring the fact that she was right next to Lu Bingchen.
"Bingchen, I want to talk to you, is that okay?"
Xie Yiyi looked at Lu Bingchen beside him.
Lu Bingchen was forced to stop, his brows slightly furrowed, his voice cold, "Mrs. Lu, I don't think we have anything to talk about. Sorry, my wife and I have other things to do, so I'll leave first."
"Bingchen, Lu Bingchen..."
Su Yuan didn't expect Lu Bingchen to reject her so coldly.
Looking at the closed elevator door, he didn't even invite her to take the same elevator.
My heart felt like it was being pricked by a needle again.
Xie Peifeng's words echoed in his mind again and again, "My son-in-law, on the surface, is just a psychiatrist, but in reality, he's a renowned investment expert and business genius both at home and abroad! Some time ago, I had a project with a funding gap of 500 billion US dollars, and it was all thanks to my son-in-law who helped me fill it..."
Su Yuan's eyes were red, and her heart was filled with suffocation and regret.
She smiled bitterly, Lu Bingchen, are you punishing me like this on purpose?
Downstairs, Xie Yiyi and Lu Bingchen came out of the elevator.
The two walked arm in arm towards the entrance of the banquet hall. On the way, they met many business friends of the Xie family who came to greet them.
Although Lu Bingchen had never worked in the Lu Group, he was very adept at business socializing and handled it very appropriately.
Xie Yiyi held his arm and kept observing his emotions.
He didn't seem to be affected by Su Yuan at all. On the contrary, she felt very uncomfortable since meeting Su Yuan and couldn't control her wild thoughts.
Walking out of the banquet hall, Lu Bingchen loosened his tie, took a deep breath, looked down at the people around him, curled his thin lips, and said lazily, "What's wrong? You look absent-minded. Do you have any questions for me?"
Xie Yiyi said bluntly, "Do you really have the heart to refuse Su Yuan's conversation with you? Aren't you curious about what she wants to say to you?"
Lu Bingchen smiled: "There is nothing to discuss with her. Since I have already drawn a clear line with the Lu family, there is no need to get involved unnecessarily."
Xie Yiyi raised an eyebrow: "She is not only your sister-in-law, but also your first love, right? You treat her..."
"She and I were already in the past eight years ago."
Under the bright moonlight, Lu Bingchen looked sincerely into Xie Yiyi's eyes. As a psychologist, his professional skills allowed him to guess what Xie Yiyi hadn't finished saying. He held Xie Yiyi's hand and placed it on his heart, and replied, "The girl I like now is Xie Yiyi."
In an instant, Xie Yiyi's palms felt hot.
Feeling Lu Bingchen's strong and violent heartbeat.
Lu Bingchen said gently: "Yi Baoer, can you give me a chance to become your true husband."
-
An hour later, Su Yuan returned to the Lu family.
Mother Lu was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV. When she heard the noise at the door, she stood up and looked towards the entrance of the living room with a loving face. When she saw that only Su Yuan came back, the smile on her face dropped by half.
"Yuanyuan, you're back." But Mother Lu still went over to greet her with a smile, holding Su Yuan's hand and asking with concern: "Where's Zhizhang? Didn't he come back with you?"
Su Yuan looked at the unenthusiastic smile on Lu's mother's face, and her heart felt more and more sour.
She really regretted it.
Why didn't she make up her mind to divorce that day, and stayed in the Lu family, trapped in the empty shell of "Mrs. Lu" and endure all these grievances and suffering?
In the Lu family, the only person that Lu's father and mother love is Lu Zhizhang.
Ever since Lu Zhizhang's attitude towards her changed, Lu's mother's attitude towards her has also changed a lot imperceptibly.
He would no longer care for her and love her as if she were his own daughter, and sometimes he would even scold her, saying that she was spoiled and impolite.
Su Yuan smiled tiredly: "Mom, Zhizhang said he has an appointment tonight, so he asked me to come back first."
"Oh, is that so? Why don't you persuade him to take care of his health? He's always busy with work, and health is more important. Besides, aren't you guys trying to get pregnant at this stage?"
As Mother Lu spoke, she instructed the housekeeper, "Uncle Xiang, bring the tonic that the kitchen prepared for the young mistress over to Yuanyuan."
"Mom? What tonic?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Yuan smelled a pungent smell of Chinese medicine.
When I turned around, I saw the butler coming over with a large bowl of black medicine.
Su Yuan took two steps back.
Mother Lu smiled, patted the back of Su Yuan's hand, and pulled her back, not allowing her to leave. "Yuanyuan, this is good stuff. Just drink it obediently. If you drink this, I guarantee you'll have a boy!"
Su Yuan felt like retching from the fishy and bitter medicine, and looked at Lu's mother in surprise.
How could a highly educated woman like Lu's mother still believe in some old folk remedies to give birth to a son?
