This was a very warm and comfortable home.
However, she was not the mistress of this house.
During dinner last night, Jingjing watched the intimate interaction between Lou Tingxu and Fu Nannan. She was so jealous that she almost couldn't speak.
After a sleepless night, she still couldn't understand why Lou Tingxu didn't marry her.
She grew up by his mother's side and could be said to be childhood sweethearts with Lou Tingxu. Why didn't Lou Tingxu like her?
Was it because she was inferior to Fu Nannan in any way? However, Lou Tingxu had never met Fu Nannan before they got married.
Why? She kept asking herself in her heart.
Her aunt liked her so much that she kept telling her that she wanted Lou Tingxu to marry her so that she could be with her for the rest of her life.
She also thought that she would marry Lou Tingxu in the future, so she had been working hard to learn how to be the young madam of the Lou family.
She didn't expect Lou Tingxu's sudden decision to ruin her years of hard work. She thought that she had already given up and let go of this matter. However, after seeing the intimate interaction between Lou Tingxu and Fu Nannan yesterday, she began to have a different voice in her heart.
Why did she give up?
She had known Lou Tingxu longer than Fu Nannan, and she had loved Lou Tingxu for so many years. Why couldn't she be Lou Tingxu's wife?
When this thought appeared in her mind, Jingjing was stunned for a moment. Then, her heart told her that Lou Tingxu's wife could change from Fu Nannan to her. After all, Fu Nannan was just a wife that Lou Tingxu bought with money.
Compared to Fu Nannan, she should be more qualified to be Lou Tingxu's wife. Besides, she was the one that his mother had always wanted.
But what should she do? Fu Nannan would not easily give up on a husband like Lou Tingxu. Moreover, with his personality, he would not be willing to divorce Lou Tingxu and remarry.
What should she do then?
After thinking for a long time, Jingjing finally thought of a way. In order to become Lou Tingxu's wife, she was willing to transform into a demon to hurt another woman.
"Cousin's wife, are you reading a magazine?" Jingjing walked over to Fu Nannan and sat down.
Fu Nannan smiled when he saw Jingjing. "That's right."
Jingjing had been in Shanghai for three days, but she spent most of her time in her room until Lou Tingxu got off work.
Jingjing looked at Fu Nannan's smiling face and felt a little guilty about what she was about to do. However, when she thought of the hope she had for many years, she had no choice but to harden her heart.
Jingjing casually chatted with Fu Nannan,""Cousin in law, have you known Cousin for a long time?”
Fu Nannan didn't know why Jingjing asked her that. She didn't believe that Jingjing didn't know that she had only met Lou Tingxu for the first time on the day she married him.
"Jingjing, have you known Tingxu for a long time?”Right now, Jingjing was like a wolf in sheep's clothing in her eyes.
"That's right! Ever since I was 15 years old and my aunt took me to her house, I've known my cousin.”Jingjing smiled." My cousin likes me very much. She often tells me that she wants to marry me off to my cousin when I grow up!" So in the Lou family, rather than saying that I'm a cousin who came to live, it's better to say that everyone treats me as the future young mistress of the Lou family.”
Fu Nannan did not take Jingjing's words to heart. "It seems that you are very favored in the Lou family."
"Of course." Jingjing didn't expect Fu Nannan to be unaffected by her words. Her expression didn't change at all. "However, my aunt is very angry about Cousin marrying you.”
"I believe that granny will get over it soon.”Did Jingjing say these words to make her sad?
If that was the case, Jingjing had miscalculated. After what happened last time, no matter how sad she was, she would not show her emotions.
Seeing that Fu Nannan didn't look unhappy at all, Jingjing continued,""Before I came to Shanghai, my aunt told me to see with my own eyes what kind of woman my cousin bought for 30 million yuan is and whether she is worth 30 million yuan. However, even if you were worth 30 million, she would not treat a wife that her cousin bought with money as her daughter-in-law.”
This time, Fu Nannan could no longer control her anger. She glanced at Jingjing, threw the magazine in her hand, and turned to leave.
Seeing Fu Nannan so angry, Jingjing also felt very sad.
She felt that she was really despicable, but for her love and hope, she had no choice but to play the role of the devil.
She did all this for Lou Tingxu, but she didn't know if Lou Tingxu could understand her feelings.
Don't be angry, don't be angry.
Fu Nannan kept telling himself not to be angry. Besides, what was there to be angry about? What Jingjing said was the truth. She was indeed the wife that Lou Tingxu spent 30 million to marry. Since it was the truth, what was there to be angry about?
Moreover, she should be glad that she had the charm to make Lou Tingxu willing to spend 30 million to marry her.
However, she knew very well that Lou Tingxu didn't marry her because he loved her so much that he couldn't help himself.
Of course, Lou Tingxu liked her, and maybe he loved her a little. But this was definitely not the reason why he was willing to marry her.
This was also what she had always wondered. Why was Lou Tingxu willing to marry her? Although he had told her that it was because he had grown up looking at her photos and that he had feelings for her, she knew that this was definitely not the reason why he was willing to marry her.
Was this also the reason why Lou Tingxu would wear a mask to face her?
She knew that Lou Tingxu treated her sincerely, but she didn't understand why he had to wear a mask to treat her.
At the thought of this, Fu Nannan couldn't help but sigh. When would she be able to see Lou Tingxu's true colors under the mask?
Fu Nannan's anger had already subsided by a third, but she really didn't want to live under the same roof as Jingjing anymore.
Although she could ask Jingjing to leave as the mistress of the house, when she thought about what Jingjing had just said, that her mother-in-law did not treat her as a daughter-in-law and did not recognize her status, she did not want to see Jingjing again. At least, she did not want to see Jingjing now.
Fu Nannan picked up her handbag and walked out, wanting to be alone outside.
Looking at Fu Nannan's departing figure from the window, Jingjing knew that her plan to drive Fu Nannan away in anger had succeeded, but would it still go so smoothly? She did not know.
However, as she watched Fu Nannan's gradually disappearing figure, she felt an indescribable guilt in her heart, but there was also joy.
She finally had a chance to be alone with Lou Tingxu! As long as the plan went smoothly, she would definitely become Lou Tingxu's wife!
When Lou Tingxu returned home from work, he didn't see his wife, who was always waiting for him in the living room. He only saw Jingjing, who was looking at him with joy.
Cousin, you're back." Jingjing saw Lou Tingxu and immediately went up to him happily.
"Where is Nannan?" Why didn't he see her today? Where did she go?
"I don't know." Jingjing shrugged.”
When he heard Jingjing say that she didn't know, Lou Tingxu wanted to find a servant to ask. However, he realized that the servant who would usually greet him with Fu Nannan when he got home from work was missing. When he wanted to call for someone, Jingjing interrupted his call.
"Cousin, you must be tired after a day of work, right?”Jingjing took Lou Tingxu's briefcase and placed it on the table. "Today, I'll personally cook some Malai Xiya's hometown dishes. You must try them.”
After saying that, Jingjing grabbed Lou Tingxu's hand and was about to bring him to the dining room.
Lou Tingxu shook off Jingjing's hand and said,"Why are you in the mood to cook today?"?”
Jingjing was a little frustrated by Lou Tingxu's actions, but she quickly pulled herself together. "Cousin, you haven't been back to Malay for a long time. You must miss your hometown dishes, so I personally cooked.”
"It's been hard on you." In fact, he had no preference for food. He always ate whatever was available, but he was too embarrassed to reject Jingjing's kindness.
Hearing Lou Tingxu's words, Jingjing was so happy that her face turned red. "This is what I should do." As long as he liked it, she was willing to do anything for him, including cooking for him every day.
When he arrived at the dining room, he saw four or five dishes on the table, as well as a plate of pineapple fried rice. There was also a bottle of wine beside it. The dishes looked delicious.
After Jing Jing poured a glass of wine for Lou Tingxu, she picked up a few dishes with her chopsticks and placed them on the plate in front of Lou Tingxu."Cousin, quickly try it and see if it suits your taste.”
Tingxu realized that something was wrong. Where did all the servants go? Although Fu Nannan had never asked the servants to wait on him during meals in the past because he was considerate of them, the house was so quiet today that he felt as if he and Jingjing were the only ones left.
He picked up the cup on the table and took a sip before asking,"Jingjing, what do you want to tell me?”Otherwise, why would he send all the servants away?
Jingjing didn't expect Lou Tingxu to ask her this question directly. She was nervous for a moment before she relaxed and said,""Cousin, can we talk after dinner?”
This meant that Jing Jing indeed had something to say to him. "Jingjing, you should know that I don't like to drag things out, so if you have anything to say, just tell me.”
Jingjing watched Lou Tingxu drink another glass of wine before saying,""Cousin, I want to know why you want to marry another woman. Could it be that there's something about me that you're not satisfied with? You should know that my aunt has always wanted me to marry you.”
"Jingjing, in my eyes, you are the same as Ye Zi.”In his eyes, she was just a younger sister.
"It's different." Jingjing retorted," I was brought over by my aunt to live with your family since I was young. Ever since my aunt said that she wanted to marry me to you, I have been working hard to learn how to be a good wife. But you married a woman you don't even know. Why?"”
"It's not that I don't know Nannan. I've known her since she was born. The reason why I married Nannan was very simple. She was the only one who could be my wife.”The fate between him and Fu Nannan had been destined from the moment Fu Nannan was born.
"What about me?" "Don't you have any feelings for me at all?" Jingjing shouted indignantly.”
"I've said it before, you're like Ye Zi in my heart.”Lou Tingxu was already tired of this topic. He finished the wine in his glass and stood up, ready to make a phone call to find his wife.
However, Lou Tingxu felt dizzy as soon as he stood up. He looked at Jingjing with anger in his eyes. "What did you add to the wine?"
Jingjing looked at Lou Tingxu sadly and said,""Cousin, I really love you. In order to marry you, I am willing to sell my conscience to the devil.”
" You..." Lou Tingxu fell forward after saying this word, unconscious.
Looking at Lou Tingxu lying on the ground, Jingjing knew that he would be very angry when he woke up, but she believed that as time passed, he would understand her infatuation.
After all, he was such a gentle and refined person. She believed that as long as he understood why she had done that, he would forgive her and fall in love with her. She would also love him more than Fu Nannan.
Although she felt a little guilty for doing this to Fu Nannan, she would compensate Fu Nannan well in terms of the amount of support. She believed that with that amount of support, Fu Nannan would definitely be able to find another good husband.
Walking closer to Lou Tingxu, Jingjing bent down and kissed him gently on the cheek.
"Don't blame me, okay?" Jingjing said softly,"I really love you very much. If you give me a chance, you will definitely accept my feelings for you."”
But before that, please don't be too angry with her, okay?
She really, really loved him.
After playing a game of tennis with the wives of the businessmen he knew, drinking afternoon tea together, and listening to some gossip, Fu Nannan's anger had mostly dissipated.
She had a different interpretation of Jingjing's words. Indeed, Lou Tingxu had offered 30 million to help her family out of trouble, but that was also equivalent to him giving her a betrothal gift. Moreover, the Fu family's assets would be inherited by her and Yang Siyu in the future. As long as the Fu family could get through the financial difficulties, the assets she would inherit in the future would definitely be much more than 30 million.
Therefore, she did not need to take Jingjing's words to heart. Jingjing only said those words because she was jealous of her. If she continued to be sad because of Jingjing's words, it would only make her look stupid.
After thinking it through, Fu Nannan shook off his unhappy mood and set foot on the road home.
However, as soon as Fu Nannan stepped into the house, he realized that something was wrong. It was already seven o'clock in the evening, but the lights in the living room were not turned on. He did not know where the servants were.
Puzzled, Fu Nannan turned on the lights and looked around. She came to the dining room. There were a few dishes on the table, as well as an opened bottle of wine and two glasses. It seemed that someone had eaten here.
Her intuition told her that Lou Tingxu and Jingjing had eaten at the restaurant. But if they were at home, why was the house so dark as if no one was there?
Fu Nannan felt uneasy. She took a deep breath and walked to the second floor. Then, she opened the door to her and Lou Tingxu's room. When she walked past the small living room, she saw Lou Tingxu lying on the bed and Jingjing sitting on the phone in her pajamas!
As soon as she saw Fu Nannan, Jingjing said a few words and put down the phone.
"What's going on?" Fu Nannan asked after taking a deep breath.”
"With your intelligence, you should be able to tell, right?”Jingjing looked at Fu Nannan and said," Cousin and I already have feelings for each other. Even if Cousin marries you, the feelings between us will not change."”
"I am his wife." Fu Nannan almost went crazy when he saw his husband in the same bed as another woman.
"Cousin only married you on a whim. Otherwise, why do you think he didn't bring you back to Malai? That was because he knew very well that you didn't deserve to be the daughter-in-law of the Lou family, so he naturally didn't have to bring you back.”Although Fu Nannan's angry expression made her feel a little guilty, for the sake of her happiness, she couldn't care less.
Fu Nannan was so angry that he was almost speechless. "I don't believe you." She couldn't believe that Lou Tingxu would lie to her. Although the truth was right in front of her, she still couldn't believe it.
"You still don't believe me? So you're going to wait for cousin to wake up and let him tell you himself?”Jingjing glanced at Lou Tingxu beside her before looking at Fu Nannan and saying,""If I were you, I would immediately leave here and go back to Taiwan. On the account that you don't look for trouble, I will persuade Cousin to be more generous with your child support.”
" You…" Her pride made it impossible for her to stay here any longer, so she turned around and left.
Although she did not know where she was going, she just wanted to stay far away from them. Otherwise, she was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and go to the kitchen to take out a kitchen knife to cut them.
Looking at her stepfather and mother, Yang Siyu didn't know what to say.
In the past few months, she had been busy with her graduation thesis, so she rarely contacted her family and read newspapers and magazines. She did not expect such a thing to happen during this period of time.
A few months ago, she had known that the outbreak of AIDS had a great impact on Taiwan's economy and tourism industry, but she had not expected it to be so great that even her father's business was almost unable to continue.
She didn't expect Fu Nannan to willingly marry someone to save her father's career. No matter how good the man was, she was still worried.
"Is Nannan in Shanghai now?”It had already happened. Even if she blamed her stepfather and mother for not telling her, it was already too late.
Mrs. Fu nodded." Nannan called the day before yesterday and said that she's doing well."”She did not expect her daughter to suddenly come back. She thought that Yang Siyu would be very angry when she found out that Fu Nannan married to save the company, but she did not expect Yang Siyu to not say a word.
"I'll book a plane ticket to Shanghai tomorrow to see Nannan.”Fu Nannan was a silly child. Although he was already an adult, he was still as innocent as a child at times.
Yang Siyu was very worried about whether Fu Nannan was really doing well now. She was also afraid that if Fu Nannan was not doing well in Shanghai, she would not dare to call back to complain because she was afraid that her family would worry about her.
Fu Tiansheng looked at his stepdaughter worriedly and asked,""Siyu, you're saying that something might happen to Nannan?”
Yang Siyu looked at her stepfather and mother and said,""Dad, Mom, haven't you ever thought about why Lou Tingxu had to marry Nannan before he was willing to sponsor the Fu family? If it was really as he said, his grandfather was full of guilt towards Nannan's grandmother, then with the Lou family's financial resources, he could sponsor the Fu family without any interest to help them tide over the difficulties.”
"Of course we have thought about this.”Mrs. Fu replied," Lou Tingxu told me to tell your father that after his grandfather found out that Nannan's grandmother had passed away, he became very concerned about Nannan and her mother. In addition, the people from the credit bureau would send Nannan's news to Ma Lai Xi Ya every once in a while. He could be considered to have watched Nannan grow up since she was young, so he had a special feeling for Nannan.”
Fu Nannan was so innocent and cute. She absolutely believed that Lou Tingxu would have special feelings for Fu Nannan.
"But haven't you thought that there might be another reason?”She still felt that there must be a reason why Lou Tingxu wanted to marry Fu Nannan.
Fu Tiansheng and Mrs. Fu looked at each other. A while ago, they were really overwhelmed by financial pressure. There were many things that they didn't have time to think about.
"What's the reason?" Mrs. Fu asked nervously.”
She had done some research before Fu Nannan's marriage. She was sure that Lou Tingxu did not have any bad habits, nor were there any rumors of him abusing women, nor did he have a woman outside. It was because of this that she dared to marry Fu Nannan to him.
"If Lou Tingxu's grandfather really felt sorry for Nannan's grandmother, would he say something in his will? For example, Lou Tingxu had to marry Nannan to inherit the entire inheritance of the Lou family, or did he leave something for Nannan, so Lou Tingxu had no choice but to marry Nannan?”Otherwise, she really couldn't figure out why Lou Tingxu wanted to marry Fu Nannan.
If he really fell in love with Fu Nannan, why didn't he give them some time to make Fu Nannan fall in love with him? Why did she have to marry Fu Nannan first?
This was something that the two of them had not thought of at the beginning, and the thought of it made the couple nervous.
Mrs. Fu quickly decided." Siyu, don't wait until tomorrow. Go pack your luggage immediately. I'll help you book a plane ticket right away. You go to Shanghai immediately to see Nannan."”
If they left this matter to Yang Siyu, the couple would definitely be at ease.
Right now, they only hoped that Fu Nannan was fine and that they were just overthinking.
Fu Nannan was right. Lou Tingxu was indeed wearing a mask.
He knew very well that he was not the real him wearing the mask. It was just that he had worn this mask for too long, so long that he could not imagine the day he would take it off.
He had thought that someone could see through him under the mask, so when Fu Nannan said those words, he was shocked and changed the topic. He didn't expect Fu Nannan to see through him.
However, he was very clear about one thing. His mask was a protective color that protected all his relatives and protected them from being hurt by his ruthlessness.
But now, his mask had been taken off. What kind of person would he become when he took off his mask? He did not know.
And without the protection of this mask, what would happen to those relatives who dared to go against him? He didn't know either, but they asked for it.#
