She had already been upset for two days when Shang Wu told her the whole story over the phone.
"Betray yourself?"
Cheng Zhou stepped forward, grabbed her wrist with great force, his eyes unwavering, "Losing you is the greatest betrayal to me. I can open another restaurant, I can achieve my dreams in another way, but you are the only one, Lu You! I only want you!"
"you……"
Lu You was startled by the resolute look in his eyes. "You idiot. You have no idea what this means..."
“I know!” Cheng Zhou interrupted her, his voice hoarse. “It means I can stand by your side openly and honestly, it means I can shut your father up, it means you can no longer leave me with that nonsense about being a good match. That’s enough.”
Both of them were extremely agitated, their voices rising unconsciously, completely unaware that the door to the side hall was not properly closed.
A figure stood stiffly outside the door, having heard every word they said.
Li Zhewen originally wanted to check on the situation or say another word to Lu You, but he didn't expect to hear such a conversation.
It turned out they had known each other for a long time and liked each other.
This young master Cheng wasn't trying to steal the bride for any family benefit; he wanted to win back the one he loved.
Lu You's agreement just now was a lie; she already had someone else in her heart!
A surge of anger at being deceived instantly shattered Li Zhewen's usual gentle demeanor.
He suddenly pushed open the door to the side hall!
A loud bang startled the two people inside.
Lu You and Cheng Zhou turned their heads at the same time and saw Li Zhewen at the door.
"Lu You!"
Li Zhewen pointed at Cheng Zhou, but his eyes were fixed on Lu You. "So your agreement just now was all a joke? You two had been secretly plotting against each other all along, but you treated me like a fool? Is this how your Yu family arranges marriages?"
His voice was loud enough for everyone in the living room to hear.
Lu Zheng and Li's parents also rushed over upon hearing the commotion. Seeing the tense scene, their expressions turned extremely ugly.
“That’s not how it is…” Lu You tried to explain, but the situation was already out of control.
Li Zhewen completely lost his composure, laughing angrily, "Fine! Very well! Your Yu family has high standards, my Li family cannot afford to marry into them! This marriage is off! Dad, Mom, let's go!"
After saying that, he glared at Lu You and Cheng Zhou, then grabbed his equally angry parents and strode away without looking back.
The Yu family was left in a state of chaos and death.
Lu Zheng's face was frighteningly dark, and his gloomy gaze swept back and forth between Cheng Zhou and Lu You.
Cheng Zhou seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and even slightly curled the corners of his lips.
The Li family has left; that's good.
As for Lu You, watching the Li family members leave in a rage, and then looking at Cheng Zhou beside her, who was willing to cause such chaos for her sake, she felt utterly exhausted.
The situation is completely out of control.
But Lu Zheng walked up to them step by step, his face grim.
What's going on here?
His tone was filled with an air of accusation.
Upon hearing this, Lu You pursed her lips.
"We've known each other for a long time."
"You know each other? You two were boyfriend and girlfriend before, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have pulled this stunt and driven the Li family away."
Lu Zheng sneered, his eyes blazing with anger: "You were the one who willingly came back to inherit the business and arrange the marriage for Lu Rang, and now you're doing this? Are you and your brother trying to drive me crazy?"
Cheng Zhou couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to speak, but Lu Zheng pointed at him and said, "Shut up! If you wanted to be with Lu You, you wouldn't be so inconsiderate as to embarrass her! Where are your parents? Weren't they trying to force you into marriage? I'm asking you, do your family members agree?"
Upon hearing this, Lu You also looked up at Cheng Zhou.
