Chapter 228 Lu Zhentao, get out of my way!
At this moment, Song Xu understood Lin Xi back then; she must have had the same mindset.
"Xi Xi, praise me, tell me what's good about me in your eyes." He remembered that's how he comforted Lin Xi.
Lin Xi blinked and took his hand in hers. "I love your hands the most. I was attracted to them the first time we met."
She stroked Song Xu's hands, "They're so white, tender, and long, and so clean. I never imagined they would become mine."
Song Xu looked at his hands. Maybe he was used to them, because he didn't think they were anything special. But since his Xi Xi liked them, they looked much better to him. "So, do you like it when I touch you with them?"
Lin Xi didn't refute him, but just looked at him with a smile, "I also like your muscles, they're pleasing to the eye and give me a sense of security."
“And your face is so handsome,” Lin Xi touched Song Xu’s face. “I love seeing other women’s jealous expressions.”
“I know I’m handsome and have a good physique,” Song Xu said very naturally, “but I never expected you to be so superficial.”
Why do you only see his good looks? He has more than just a perfect appearance.
Lin Xi kissed Song Xu's face, "Of course, I like more than just these things. I also like your intelligence and talent. God has been so good to you, giving you the best of everything."
Song Xu was finally satisfied, and he didn't forget to praise Lin Xi, "Baby, you are just as excellent as me."
“What I like most is how good you are to me,” Lin Xi continued. “You help me in every way, you are so considerate and caring, you are the best boyfriend.”
"I can't find a better or more outstanding boyfriend than you, so you should be more confident. You are the best."
Song Xu was delighted after hearing this, "Xi Xi, you're the best too."
He whispered something in Lin Xi's ear, which made Lin Xi blush and punch him twice.
...
Zhou Ruolan was taken back to the Lu family by Lu Yunzhou.
Zhou Ruolan stepped into her home, which she hadn't returned to for eighteen years, and felt both strange and familiar.
Her things were still there; nothing had been touched in her and Lu Zhentao's bedroom, exactly as it was on the day she left.
It's really ironic; who is Lu Zhentao trying to impress with this?
However, all the servants in the house had been replaced, and none of them were people she knew.
"Mom, do you want to stay in the master bedroom?" Lu Yunzhou asked.
Zhou Ruolan shook her head. "Let's change rooms. I don't want to see anything related to Lu Zhentao."
Lu Yunzhou instructed the housekeeper, "Have someone prepare a room for my mother to stay in."
The butler glanced at Zhou Ruolan a few more times. He had heard of Madam Lu, but had never met her. She was said to be recuperating somewhere. He had been here for more than ten years and had finally met the legendary Madam Lu.
"Yes, young master, I'll have someone prepare it right away."
Lu Yunzhou then instructed, "Clear everything out of Lu Yunqi's room and replace all the furniture with new ones."
The butler was dumbfounded. "You're not going to take anything from the room? Won't Miss be angry when she comes back?"
“She’s not coming back,” Lu Yunzhou added. “She’s not my sister, she’s a fake. My real sister will be back soon, so get the room ready as soon as possible.”
The butler didn't dare ask any more questions and simply did whatever the young master told him to do.
Zhou Ruolan went to the walk-in closet in the master bedroom and took out a few changes of clothes. She found that all the clothes had tags on them and were new.
She didn't know when she bought it; she hadn't gone shopping in eighteen years and wasn't very familiar with clothing styles.
Without thinking too much, she went back to her bedroom, took a shower, changed into her pajamas, and went to sleep; she was a little tired today.
In her dream, she returned to eighteen years ago. She saw that the child in her arms had changed, and she frantically searched for the child everywhere.
"Where is my daughter?" Zhou Ruolan grabbed Lu Zhentao by the collar and demanded, "Where did you take my daughter?"
“Ruolan, this is our daughter,” Lu Zhentao said patiently. “Look how much she looks like us.”
"Like a fart!" Zhou Ruolan was about to collapse. "There's not a single thing about me that resembles me, and there's not a single thing about you that resembles me either."
“Our daughter looks like you but even more like me. Lu Zhentao, what have you done? Where did you get this child from? Why did you switch my daughter with yours?”
Lu Zhentao frowned, looking down at the baby in the crib. "Don't all newborns look the same? Anyway, this is our child."
Zhou Ruolan suddenly noticed several hickeys on Lu Zhentao's neck. Her heart skipped a beat, and she struggled to breathe. "Lu Zhentao, are you cheating on me?"
"No," Lu Zhentao denied, his eyes darting around.
Zhou Ruolan forcefully tore open Lu Zhentao's clothes, revealing his upper body. There were many hickeys on his chest and lower abdomen, as if he had deliberately left them. They were very deep, as if he was afraid she wouldn't notice them.
"What is this?" Zhou Ruolan raised her hand and slapped Lu Zhentao hard across the face. "Lu Zhentao, how could you do this to me!"
"To be with you, I severed ties with my family, gave up my own career, all to help you start a company, clear your name, and even bear your children. Is this how you repay me?"
Lu Zhentao gritted his teeth and said, "Did you start the company for me? Everything you've done is for yourself. Helping me clear my name is just because you regret marrying me and want to go back to your family."
"You control all the power in the company, isn't it just so you can emulate Wu Zetian, kick me out, and take over the company for yourself?"
“Who told you that? Who said I wanted to monopolize the company?” Zhou Ruolan looked at him in disbelief. “If I wanted to monopolize it, I wouldn’t only take 10% of the shares.”
"So what if I have a lot of shares? You still call me a good-for-nothing at the company. Who can respect me? They only listen to you, President Zhou." Lu Zhentao said what he had been holding in.
Zhou Ruolan laughed, "You'd rather believe the instigation of a villain than believe me, your bedmate of ten years."
“Since that’s the case, there’s no need for us to continue. I’ll divorce you. The company is yours, the children are mine, and you can give my daughter back to me. You can live with whoever you want.”
"You want a divorce?" Lu Zhentao's eyes turned fierce. "Don't even think about it. You can only be my woman for the rest of your life, and you will be buried in my Lu family's ancestral grave after you die."
Lu Zhentao approached Zhou Ruolan step by step, raising his hand to chop at the back of her neck.
"Ah!" Zhou Ruolan screamed as she woke up.
"Ruolan, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" Lu Zhentao asked with concern.
Zhou Ruolan stared at Lu Zhentao in horror, unable to tell if she was dreaming or in reality. She covered her head and screamed, "Lu Zhentao, get away from me! I don't want to see you! Give me back my daughter!"
