Chapter 76 Lu Tingzhou, this is called forced marriage
She knew that her mother wanted to compensate Xu Shiming in this way, maintain a superficial relationship with him, and give herself a complete family.
The price was her mother's own life.
Tears as big as beans rolled down without warning.
One, two, they hit the expensive velvet, leaving a small dark stain, and also hit Lu Tingzhou's heart.
He raised his hand, his fingertips warm, and gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks.
Then he held her tighter in his arms, his chin resting on the top of her head, silently conveying his strength.
Sang Wan buried her face in his warm cashmere sweater, smelling the refreshing and pleasant scent on his body. The grievances and sadness that had been accumulated for many years burst out at this moment.
Her voice was thick with tears, like a wounded kitten, grabbing the clothes on his chest and making accusations.
"Lu Tingzhou, if you treat me badly, my mother will never let you go."
"Her whole life... was for me."
"She clearly knew that Xu Shiming had someone else outside, but she still endured it..."
"She just wanted to give me a complete family and let me grow up carefree like a little princess."
"For over twenty years... I can't imagine how my mother managed to get through every day... every day..."
Sang Wan cried even harder, her body shaking in his arms.
Lu Tingzhou was a little at a loss at the moment. He had never seen the little fox cry so much.
"Lu Tingzhou, do you know?"
She raised her tearful face, with overwhelming hatred in her eyes.
"Xu Mingyue...Xu Mingyue is Xu Shiming's biological daughter!"
"Xu Shiming has been deceiving my mother since the beginning. He married her with a purpose."
Lu Tingzhou's heart felt like it was stabbed by an unknown object and it hurt badly.
He held up her little face, which was red from crying, and felt extremely distressed.
"How do you know these things?"
Sang Wan sobbed and spoke intermittently, "One time in the Imperial Court, I accidentally overheard a conversation between Lin Lan and Wang Sheng... Afterwards, I asked someone to... check the DNA of Xu Shiming and Xu Mingyue."
A trace of self-blame flashed in Lu Tingzhou's eyes, and he hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood.
"Why?"
His voice was very hoarse.
"Why don't you tell me these things?"
Sang Wan felt a little pain from being strangled by him, but she was still greedy for this shackle that made her feel at ease.
She responded with tears in her eyes and confidence.
"What was our relationship then? If you didn't take the bait, and you did, there was Song Xinran messing things up."
"Why should I tell you about my affairs?"
With just one sentence, Lu Tingzhou was left speechless.
I always thought that as long as she lived a good life, I didn't expect that she had to endure so much silently.
She was alone, carrying the injustice of her mother and facing a family that was as cruel as wolves and tigers. How helpless and desperate she must have felt.
Lu Tingzhou was speechless and felt so heartbroken that he almost suffocated.
He could only lower his head and seal her still sobbing lips with the most gentle kiss.
This kiss contained no lust, only endless pity and comfort.
He gently kissed away the saltiness from the corners of her lips, and they tossed and turned until the person in his arms gradually calmed down.
"Wan Baoer," he pressed his forehead against hers, his dark eyes deep, in which was her reflection.
"From now on, you are not allowed to carry it alone."
"If you have anything, please tell me. Remember, you are not alone."
Sang Wan let go of her worries and kissed him back.
For the first time, I felt that I had someone to rely on.
…
The news that Lu Tingzhou spent 1 billion to buy 20 sets of rare pink diamonds and sent them to the film and television city in order to win the smile of a beauty spread like wildfire on the Internet.
There were many film crews shooting in the film and television city, and Liu Xi, Sang Wan and Song Xinran were there together, which led to speculation.
[Who did Mr. Lu give it to? ]
[Song Xinran is unlikely to be involved. Lu has already clarified this personally.]
[Then only Liu Xi and Sang Wan are left.]
【Liu Xi likes Xiao Yan, this is impossible.】
[Yes, Liu Xi never hid his love for Xiao Yan.]
【Could it really be Sang Wan? 】
[Sang Wan unexpectedly landed the female lead role in "The Storm Rising", it seems to be true. ]
Sang Wan looked at netizens' speculations while eating her own melon. She had never found eating melon so interesting.
While enjoying the show, he also took a screenshot and sent it to Lu Tingzhou.
Little Fox: Netizens nowadays are not stupid. If I continue discussing this way, I will completely become what everyone calls a resource guy.
Sponsor: I pamper those with strong resources and let them say whatever they want.
Little Fox: I don’t want others to treat me as a vase. I rely on my strength, okay?
Sponsor: I know. Don’t worry. I’ll pick you up the day after tomorrow.
Sang Wan put away her phone and immersed herself in the filming. Today was her last scene with Song Ziqian, and they would have no more interactions after this.
She really wanted to finish the filming quickly.
I hate facing her sinister gaze every day now.
On the day the crew wrapped up filming, Lu Tingzhou made a high-profile appearance.
After he arrived at the film and television city, Lu's official website sent a message:
Recently, there have been numerous online rumors regarding our company's president, Mr. Lu Tingzhou, purchasing a pink diamond worth 10 billion. After verifying this with Mr. Lu himself, we have confirmed that this is indeed the case. Mr. Lu has been actively pursuing Ms. Sang Wan for a long time, and the 10 billion pink diamond was given to her as a token of love. On this occasion, the Lu employees sincerely offer their best wishes.
After taking the final photo, Sang Wan saw the news on her phone and frowned instantly. How could an old man be so unstable in doing things? What's the difference between this and forced marriage?
But, looking at the man walking towards her affectionately, Sang Wan bit her lip. It seemed not bad to be able to hug him openly.
Since he has made the official announcement, I should take some action to respond to him.
So, Sang Wan didn't care about anything else and ran towards him.
Lu Tingzhou stretched out his arms tacitly and hugged the girl who ran over firmly.
He even held her and spun around twice.
Their high-profile love naturally could not escape the camera, and the Internet went viral for a while.
The reason why Lu Tingzhou did this was to let everyone know that he was behind Sang Wan.
He wanted to use his body to block her, even though he was a resourceful person, it was because he liked her and was willing to be used by her.
After seeing the video online and the company's statement, Sun Meixi was so angry that she smashed a set of fine bone china tea sets in her room.
She couldn't sit still anymore.
Immediately, she rushed back to the Lu family's old house and cried to Mr. Lu who was practicing calligraphy.
"Dad, you have to make the decision for me!"
"Tingzhou is too much of a bully. He spent 1 billion for an actor without blinking an eye."
"If he really marries that vixen, where will there be room for Jinxuan and me in this family? This is clearly forcing us to leave!"
Mr. Lu paused with the brush in his hand, leaving a thick ink spot on the rice paper.
He had a gloomy face and was quite dissatisfied with his youngest son's recent outrageous behavior.
It is really outrageous that a female celebrity in the entertainment industry is not a good match for her and is causing unrest in her family.
The key point is that this person is Sang Jingchu's daughter.
"Okay, stop howling."
The old man put down his pen and said in a dignified voice, "I know how to handle this matter."
After comforting his eldest daughter-in-law, Lu Qishan put down his pen and sat down heavily in the chair.
The temperament of this youngest son is most like his, but there is one thing about him: he is sentimental.
He didn't want to marry Song Xinran, and the old man didn't want to force him, and he also felt that Song Xinran was not worthy of the third brother.
He couldn't help but start to think about it again.
…
On the way back to Shenzhen City, Sang Wan leaned on Lu Tingzhou's arms as if she had no bones.
"Lu Tingzhou, do you know what your behavior today is called?" she accused in a low voice.
Lu Tingzhou pursed his lips and said, "Tell me."
"This is called forced marriage."
Sang Wan's white fingers tapped his chest from time to time.
A faint sense of strangeness made Lu Tingzhou grab the rebellious little hand.
"I'm forcing you, do you agree?"
Lu Tingzhou's deep voice carries a bewitching magnetism.
Sang Wan raised her sparkling eyes, her gaze flickering, as cunning as a little fox that had successfully stolen something.
"Why do I feel like you like me very much?"
Lu Tingzhou did not hide it at all. His thin lips curled up slightly and he nodded in acknowledgment, looking very serious.
"Not as if."
"It's love, deep in my bones."
The moment the words fell, his slightly cool thin lips covered hers precisely.
This kiss, unlike the previous comfort, was overbearing and intrusive, and it left no room for questioning.
He pried open her teeth, conquered her, and plundered all the sweet air in her mouth.
Sang Wan felt so weak from his kiss that she could only cling to his shoulders and endure his surging love.
The car drove steadily towards Jingyuan. The neon lights outside the window were bizarre, casting bright and dark shadows on the man's angular profile.
Just as the Maybach was about to turn into the villa gate, a disheveled figure suddenly jumped out from the green belt on the side of the road, opened his arms, and stood straight in front of the car.
"squeak--"
The driver slammed on the brakes, and the tires made a sharp sound as they scraped against the ground.
The car body shook violently, and Lu Tingzhou subconsciously held Sang Wan tighter in his arms.
When he looked up and saw the person blocking the car, the warmth in his eyes had faded, leaving only a cold look.
The car lights were bright, illuminating the face of the person coming.
It’s Xu Shiming.
His hair was disheveled and his suit was wrinkled. He no longer had the dignity of the former Sang boss. Now he looked like a mad dog at the end of its rope.
"Sang Wan, come out here!"
Xu Shiming slapped the hood frantically, making loud "bang bang" noises.
"You are such a heartless ungrateful person! I have raised you for over twenty years. Even if you are not my biological child, I have been working with Sang Jingchu to perform his plays for over twenty years. And this is how you treat me?"
"You told me to get out of Sang's and made a fool of myself for everyone."
Sang Wan looked at his crazy appearance coldly through the car window. His face, which had just been flushed, now had lost all its color.
Lu Tingzhou felt the person in his arms stiffen instantly. He tightened his arms and wrapped her cold fingertips with his body temperature.
"Don't be afraid."
He whispered soothingly, his voice was not loud, but it made Sang Wan feel at ease.
Seeing that there was no movement in the car, Xu Shiming shouted even louder.
"Now that bitch Lin Lan wants to divorce me too. She took our son away. I've lost my home and my company. I have nothing now. It's all your fault, you little bitch."
His words became increasingly unbearable.
"Sang Wan, I'm telling you, if you don't give me an explanation and compensation, I'm going to post online that your mother is a slut and you're a bastard from nowhere!"
"I want everyone to see! The women in your Sang family, from the oldest to the youngest, are all seducers who only know how to seduce men!"
"Wanbaoer, cover your ears."
After saying that, he picked up his phone and called his bodyguard, his tone calm.
"Dispose of the garbage at the door."
Sang Wan held his hand and shook her head gently.
She pushed open the car door and walked down under Lu Tingzhou's worried gaze.
