Chapter 61: Zhou Xun Extra (Part 3)
Seeing that Lu Sheng was already drunk, Zhou Xun took the red wine from her hand and looked at the slap mark on her face with a strange expression:
"You are not someone who would compromise. If you don't want to get married, then don't get married. You dared to kill people at the age of thirteen, so you are considered a ruthless person. Why are you still bullied so badly?"
Lu Sheng snatched the wine glass from his hand, tilted his head back and drank the remaining red wine in one gulp. He wiped his mouth casually, noticed his gaze, and reached out to rub his already red and swollen face.
"Do you think that business is always so easy to do? If grandpa didn't help them behind the scenes, they would never get rich with those worse than pigs and dogs."
Unfortunately, good people don’t live long. After my grandfather found out that the man had a mistress behind his daughter’s back, he was so angry that he had a stroke. Not long after he died, the woman ran home and made her mother vomit blood in anger. After this critical illness, her mother also passed away not long after.
At that time, she was only concerned with hatred and venting her anger. She thought that their indulgence and tolerance meant that they were afraid of her, but she never imagined that they had secretly taken the property left to her by her mother and grandfather, leaving only this villa.
She covered her eyes with her hands and slowly lowered her head, her voice choked with barely perceptible sobs.
"I don't want to argue with them, but Yuansheng Private Kitchen was a birth gift from my grandfather. It was run by my mother herself, and my most precious memories are there."
"I just wanted that. He knew that was my Achilles' heel, so he used that store as a bargaining chip to threaten me. If I didn't agree to sell myself for him, he would sell the store."
Yuan Sheng’s private dish?
Zhou Xun was stunned when he heard that. He knew that private restaurant. It was located on the most prosperous street in the city center. It was very popular in the first few years and he went there often. Later, it was not popular anymore. It seemed that the owner was changed and the business was not doing well.
Zhou Xun looked at her slightly drooping face, was silent for a while, then pulled the corner of his mouth and squeezed out a joke, "Actually, it's not bad that I still remember to leave a house for you."
Lu Sheng let go of his hand, his eyes were red, and he smiled strangely, "Yes, this is my grandfather's house. My grandfather died here. That woman said it was unlucky, so she didn't want it. Fortunately, she was afraid of death, otherwise they would have kicked me out of the house that year, and I would have had to sleep on the streets."
Zhou Xun: “…”
He suddenly didn't know what to say. After struggling for a while, he could only change the subject, "So, why did you study medicine? Would it be easier to kill people?"
Lu Sheng looked at him in surprise, "Oh, how did you know? After studying medicine, killing people is really much easier. It's silent and deadly with just one shot."
Zhou Xun pushed her face away, a dark line on his forehead, "Speak human language"
Lu Sheng curled his lips, seeming to feel bored. He leaned his head on the bed, his thoughts fleeting.
"My mother's health has been poor since I can remember, so I wanted to be a doctor when I was young. Unfortunately, she passed away before I grew up, and later..."
She paused, turned her head to look at Zhou Xun, and said with a smile:
"You are not the only one who has a childhood sweetheart, I have one too, but unfortunately my sweetheart is a fool. The car was clearly meant to hit me, but he ran over and pushed me out of the way, and ended up turning himself into a vegetable. Do you think he is a fool?"
Her voice became lower and lower. If the room had not been too quiet, Zhou Xun would not have been able to hear her last words. Vegetative? He suddenly remembered what the young nurse had said.
"You are the second vegetative patient she has awakened."
Lu Sheng lowered her head, slowly curled up her legs, and put her face between her knees, so her expression could not be seen clearly.
"His name is Zhang Xiao, a neighbor's kid. He has always liked to stick to me, from elementary school to high school, like my tail. On the day of the college entrance examination, I beat up the son of that adulterous couple and was kicked out of the house. Zhang Xiao found out and comforted me later."
At that time, she was like a hedgehog, disliking everyone and being annoyed by everyone. The more Zhang Xiao chased her, the faster she ran. When Zhang Xiao pushed her, she fell and was hurt, and she scolded him. When she turned around, he was already lying in a pool of blood.
"The doctor said he might never wake up again, but I didn't believe it and thought they were stupid, so I went back to study medicine. Five years ago, he woke up and couldn't bear to see his amputated leg. I said I would marry him when he got better, but a few days later... he pulled out the oxygen mask himself."
Lu Sheng's voice dropped completely. Zhou Xun suddenly wanted to hug her. He stretched his hand into the air and then slowly retracted it. She continued to speak.
"After Zhang Xiao's funeral, I went to France. I didn't know what I was trying to escape from, but I just didn't want to stay here anymore. Later, Lu Youwei found me and threatened me with Yuan Sheng's private dishes, forcing me to come back and get married."
She couldn't let Lu Youwei sell Yuan Sheng, and she didn't want to get married, so she could only find ways to delay. Coincidentally, at this time, the dean called her and said that there was a special patient and hoped that she would go back to try. This patient was Zhou Xun.
"Actually, I don't have that much ability. Five years ago, it was my master who woke up Zhang Xiao. This time, I saved you by following his example. However, the main reason you woke up was because of Xia Beibei and the others."
Lu Sheng was silent for a while, then raised her head from between her knees. Under the orange light, her face was too pale and her eyes were red, but there was still a hint of smile at the corner of her lips, which seemed a little forced.
“周寻，对不起啊，其实我利用了你，陆有为给我的期限，就在三天后，我不想嫁给那个男人，所以给自己找了个男朋友，你耐打又抗揍，长得帅又无家可归，正好符合我的要求”
Zhou Xun was silent. He thought that he should understand her better than anyone else. He understood what kind of mood she was in as she expressed her past suffering and despair in such a calm tone.
Using an extremely relaxed tone, he bloodily dug up the painful past. This was more painful than recalling the past. The reason he could be so calm was because he had too many nightmares and often could not distinguish between nightmares and reality. So when he spoke it out, he could keep himself calm.
Their experiences were completely different, yet so similar because they all grew up being tormented by nightmares.
Zhou Xun turned his head to look at her. For some reason he felt that her smile was a little dazzling. After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and held her in his arms.
Lu Sheng's body was obviously shocked. Zhou Xun slowly patted her back and gently rubbed her head. "Cry, I won't laugh at you."
Lu Sheng struggled but failed to break free, "I'm not a child, I won't cry, I..."
Zhou Xun interrupted her, "I swear, once I leave this door, I will forget about what happened today. You can cry now."
Lu Sheng fell silent. After a long while, Zhou Xun began to cry softly in his arms. Then, the sound became louder and louder...
After that day, Zhou Xun seemed to have forgotten what happened that night. He never mentioned it in front of Lu Sheng, let alone teased her. The two of them got along more and more harmoniously.
Zhou Xun borrowed his study and computer from her. Lu Sheng didn't know what he was busy with and didn't disturb him. She would occasionally bring in some fruits.
Three days later, Lu Youwei came as expected. As Lu Sheng expected, he handed over a check. When Zhou Xun was about to take it, Lu Sheng snatched it away and made a few strokes on it, which made Lu Youwei stare in anger.
Zhou Xun glanced at the check and thought, nine hundred million. This woman is really bold. But it looks pretty good. His net worth is rising rapidly.
Lu Youwei naturally disagreed, so Lu Sheng threw the check directly at his head.
"That old man is rich, right? Let him use 900 million to pay me the breakup fee. Once the money is in place, your puppet will be in place, and his bride will be in place as well. If there is one cent less, the marriage won't go through. Unless that old man wants to have a ghost marriage, I can give him my body for free."
Lu Youwei left in a rage, and before leaving, he left some vicious words, saying that he had to give him two more months, otherwise he would sell Yuan Sheng and would not let Zhou Xun go.
Lu Sheng sprayed a lot of disinfectant at the door. After coming back, she lay on the sofa and stared at the ceiling in a daze, as if she had suddenly lost her direction. Zhou Xun looked at her for a while, then went back to the study.
Two hours later, Lu Sheng came out still in the same posture as before, and Zhou Xun handed her a file bag.
"I gave all my property to Beibei. Although I know she won't touch it, it's hers anyway. So, this matter may take a while to complete, but two months is enough."
Lu Sheng turned his head and looked at him blankly, "What?"
Zhou Xun put the file bag on her and said calmly:
"Although I am penniless now, I still have one or two business friends who are my lifelong friends. I asked someone to secretly purchase Yuan Sheng's private kitchen. Originally three days was not enough, but now two months is enough."
Finally, he added, "If you want, I can bankrupt the Lu family."
Lu Sheng looked at the file bag on his body, then raised his head to look at Zhou Xun. After a long while, his dazed eyes gradually brightened, and finally twinkled like stars.
"Zhou Xun, come here"
She called him, Zhou Xun frowned and moved closer suspiciously. Lu Sheng suddenly pounced on him and hung on him. Zhou Xun didn't react and just caught her subconsciously.
Lu Sheng hugged his neck and kissed him twice on the face, "Zhou Xun, you are so handsome. Thank you for your kindness. I will marry you. No dowry is required. It's a bargain for you."
Zhou Xun's face darkened, and he let go of her hand without further explanation. "Thank you, but you don't have to!"
Lu Sheng held his arm and followed him upstairs, sticking to him like a catfish.
"I'm serious, Zhou Xun, Xia Beibei is already taken, and that old toad won't give her 900 million. If you can't marry her, I can't marry her either. We two would be a perfect couple."
Zhou Xun covered his ears, feeling extremely annoyed, yet inexplicably wanting to laugh. Lu Sheng continued chattering as if he couldn't see anything.
"First of all, we are a perfect match in terms of looks. Although you don't have any feelings for me now, we can cultivate feelings after marriage. If that doesn't work, we can have children first. If you are not interested in one, we can have two. I have no objection to having three. Hey... don't run away."
