After Lou Tingxu woke up, he locked himself in the study.
For the rest of the day, Jingjing could only wait outside anxiously. She did not dare to disturb him. She knew that he must be very angry now.
However, things had already come to this point, and she couldn't afford to regret it. Moreover, she had already called his mother to tell her that Fu Nannan had left in anger. Although his mother said that she would rush to Shanghai as soon as possible, she couldn't do anything before she arrived.
As time passed, Jingjing became more and more worried. She was worried that Lou Tingxu, who had locked her in the study, would starve her to death.
No matter how angry he was at her now, he had to take care of himself.
Feeling uneasy, Jingjing cooked a bowl of noodles and personally brought it to the study.
Taking a deep breath, Jing Jing knocked on the door and walked in.
She saw Lou Tingxu standing by the window. His attitude was cold and his expression did not change even when he saw her.
Just as Jingjing didn't know if she should let out a sigh of relief, Lou Tingxu said coldly,""What are you doing here?"
This was the first time Jingjing had heard Lou Tingxu speak to her in such a cold tone. She felt extremely sad, but she also knew that this was inevitable because he must still be angry with her.
Jingjing forced a smile and said,"Cousin, you haven't eaten for a day, so I brought you a bowl of noodles to fill your stomach."”
Lou Tingxu sneered,"Do you think I still dare to eat anything that you made?"”
Cousin, I'm sorry." Jingjing looked at Lou Tingxu sadly." I just love you too much, that's why…" No matter what she did, it was because she loved him too much.
"Is that why you knocked me out? Is that why you ruined my marriage? Is that why you chased my wife away?" Lou Tingxu looked at Jingjing coldly and said,""I really don't understand what's in your head. What makes you think that I'll marry you if you jump into my bed and drive my wife away? Do you really think that everything will go according to your expectations?”
Jingjing cried. She knew that Lou Tingxu would blame her. Although she was mentally prepared, she still couldn't help but feel sad.
Lou Tingxu laughed coldly. "Do you think I'll be soft-hearted towards you? Am I really that easy to talk to in your eyes? Do you think that as long as you cry, I will pity you and forgive you for breaking up my marriage?”
Jing Jing shook her head." No, cousin. Listen to me."”She knew she was wrong, but it was only because she loved him too much.
"Why should I listen to you?" Lou Tingxu was impatient with Jingjing. "I don't welcome you. Pack your luggage and go back to Malay immediately.”
Jingjing didn't expect Lou Tingxu to chase her out. This was out of her expectations, and she only noticed now that Lou Tingxu's expression had changed.
In the past, even if Lou Tingxu was unhappy, his expression would still be gentle. But now, Lou Tingxu's expression was so cold that she couldn't feel any warmth. His eyes were also so cold that she felt afraid.
Jingjing comforted herself that it was only natural for Lou Tingxu to be angry when she did such a thing, so she suppressed her fear and said,""I've already informed my aunt. She told me to wait for her here. She said she would come to Shanghai as soon as possible.”
Lou Tingxu sneered, and the coldness of his laughter deepened Jingjing's fear.
"Do you think you have a backer just because you asked my mother to come?”Lou Tingxu took a few steps forward and walked in front of Jingjing. He lifted her chin and said,"Looks like you've really been spoiled by my mother. You think you can do whatever you want as long as my mother is your backer.”
Jingjing took a few steps back in fear. " Cousin, you've misunderstood me. I've never…"
Jingjing couldn't continue. She indeed wanted to use her mother's relationship to make Lou Tingxu marry her. However, she believed that she could definitely be a good wife for Lou Tingxu and would definitely be more suitable for him than Fu Nannan.
Lou Tingxu looked at Jingjing for a while, then sneered,""Last year, Director Yang mentioned to me that he wanted his son to marry you. I think I should agree to it.”
Jingjing's expression changed drastically as she said,"No!”
Everyone in the social circle knew that although Yang Zijin was already 30 years old this year, he only had the IQ of a 10-year-old. His biggest interest was to whip people. Every time Director Yang had to take out a sum of money to spend money to eliminate disasters, if it wasn't for the Yang family's wealth, Yang Zijin would have been sent to the reform institute long ago.
Lou Tingxu actually said that he wanted to marry her to Yang Zijin!？Jingjing really wanted to comfort herself that Lou Tingxu had said those words out of anger, but Lou Tingxu's expression told her that he wasn't saying those words out of anger.
"Back then, my grandfather could give his niece to the Japanese as his wife in order to protect the Lou family's business. Today, of course, I can marry you to Director Yang's son in order to please the Yang family.”Anyway, he had already planned to cooperate with Director Yang. By marrying Jingjing to Director Yang's son, he could also improve the relationship between the two families.
Jingjing sat on the ground and looked at Lou Tingxu in shock.
Was this really the Lou Tingxu she knew? The Lou Tingxu she knew wasn't like this!
"Are you really the cousin I know?”Where did the gentle and elegant Lou Tingxu go?
Lou Tingxu laughed and looked at Jingjing, who was sitting on the ground."I'm the devil that you took off your mask, and those who easily take off their mask will be punished. Just wait and see what kind of fate awaits you in the future!”Lou Tingxu turned around and walked out.
Jingjing was so scared that she lay on the ground and cried. Aunt, come quickly; Aunt, come quickly.
She was really scared now.
As soon as Yang Siyu walked out of Fu Nannan's room and went downstairs, Fu Tiansheng and Mrs. Fu were already waiting in the living room and asked with concern,""How is Nannan?"
Yang Siyu looked at her stepfather and mother and said,""Nannan is already asleep."
"Did Nannan tell you what happened?" Mrs. Fu asked with concern.”
Yang Siyu had only left for the airport for less than two hours before she returned. She thought that Yang Siyu had forgotten to bring something, but in the end, she saw that Yang Siyu did not return alone. She had brought Fu Nannan back with her.
When Fu Nannan saw them, she cried even harder. When they asked her what happened, she refused to tell them. When they asked Yang Siyu what happened, Yang Siyu only said that when she arrived at the airport, she wanted to board the plane, but she suddenly saw Fu Nannan crying as she walked.
After she called out to Fu Nannan, Fu Nannan laid on her body and started crying the moment he saw her. She had no choice but to bring Fu Nannan back first when she saw how sad he was. As for what happened, she had no idea.
Yang Siyu shook her head. "But even if Nannan didn't say it, I can guess that this matter must have something to do with Lou Tingxu.”She just didn't know what Lou Tingxu had done to make Fu Nannan so sad.
Fu Tiansheng looked at his wife and asked,"How's the company's financial situation now?"”
Seeing Fu Nannan like this, Fu Tiansheng's heart was about to break. Fu Nannan had been taken care of by him since he was young, and he had never been so sad.
"It's already much more stable." It was all thanks to the 30 million yuan that the Fu Corporation was able to tide over the crisis.
"Can you gather 30 million to return to Lou Tingxu?”He decided to return the money to Lou Tingxu first before settling the score with him. He would never allow any man to bully his daughter.
Mrs. Fu said awkwardly,"To raise 30 million…The Fu Corporation doesn't have the financial resources to do so."?”
Yang Siyu looked at her mother and stepfather and said,""I'll prepare this 30 million!"
Fu Tiansheng looked at his stepdaughter in surprise and said,""Siyu, 30 million isn't a small sum.”
Mrs. Fu also looked at her daughter in surprise and asked,"Siyu, where did you get the ability to gather 30 million?”
"It's not difficult for me to gather 30 million yuan. If you were willing to tell me that the company was in danger, then I could have helped you think of a way.”However, it was too late to talk about this now. He should first pay off the 30 million he owed Lou Tingxu!
Mrs. Fu and Fu Tiansheng looked at each other for a while before Mrs. Fu asked,""Siyu, is what you said true?”She really didn't believe her daughter's words.
"Have I ever lied?" After Yang Siyu finished speaking, she turned around and went upstairs to her room.
Indeed, Yang Siyu had never lied since she was young, but it was also because of this that the Fu couple couldn't understand where Yang Siyu had borrowed 30 million yuan from. Could it be that she knew some rich businessmen when she was studying in America these past few years?
However, he would ask these questions later. The most important thing now was to pay off the money he owed Lou Tingxu.
Fu Nannan went back to Taiwan.
Lou Tingxu was not surprised that Fu Nannan would choose to return to Taiwan. After all, Fu Nannan had a happy and warm family, so she was willing to sacrifice for her family. It was only natural that she would go back to her mother's house to cry when she was wronged.
Lou Tingxu decided to let Fu Nannan stay at her mother's house for a few days before picking her up. By then, she should be calmer and more willing to listen to his explanation.
The butler knocked on the door and came in." Young Master, Madam has come from Malay. She wants you to see her in the living room immediately."”
Ever since Young Madam left three days ago, Young Master seemed to have changed into a different person. He had also become much colder. Although he did not know what had happened, he thought that it must have something to do with what had happened when Cousin suddenly gave them half a day off in the afternoon three days ago. What they hoped for the most now was that Young Madam would come back as soon as possible. When Young Madam was around, although Young Master did not smile often, his attitude was not as cold as it was now.
Lou Tingxu didn't expect his mother to rush over so quickly.
Was she in such a hurry to stand up for her precious niece?
Lou Tingxu said coldly to the butler,"Go and invite Madam to the study."”
The butler immediately left the study and went to the living room to invite Madam to the study.
Mrs. Lou came to the study angrily.
Originally, she was prepared to scold her son when she saw him. Who knew that as soon as she arrived, Jingjing hugged her and cried sadly, saying that Lou Tingxu wanted to marry her to Yang Zijin.
She almost went crazy when she heard that. Yang Zijin was no better than an idiot. How could he be worthy of Jingjing? Not to mention that Jingjing was her favorite daughter-in-law.
So, she immediately asked the butler to bring Lou Tingxu to the living room to see her. She didn't expect the butler to say that he was in the study and had something to deal with, so he invited her to the study.
She really didn't understand how her son had become like this. Although he didn't always listen to her in the past, he was still considered a polite child. How did he become like this now?
She was shocked when she saw her son. She realized that he had changed. He used to be so gentle and refined. Why had he become like this now? There was no expression on his face at all. No wonder Jingjing would cry to her and say that he had changed.
"What's wrong with you?" Mrs. Lou asked angrily. He actually wanted to marry Jingjing to Yang Zijin! Don't you know he's an idiot?”No matter how angry he was at Jingjing, he shouldn't have scared her like that.
"What's wrong with being Director Yang's wife?”It wasn't the first time the Lou family had done such a thing. Why couldn't they do it again?
Mrs. Lou was about to go crazy with anger. "What do you mean?"
"I'm just making arrangements for the Lou family's interests, and I believe Jingjing's family won't object.”Anyway, her family relied on the Lou family to survive.
"I don't agree." Mrs. Lou looked at her son and said,"I want you to marry Jingjing."”
"Have you forgotten that I already have a wife?”Although his mother did not attend his wedding, she should not have forgotten about this, right?
At the mention of Fu Nannan, Mrs. Lou immediately looked at her son and said,"I don't acknowledge her as my wife. I want you to divorce and marry Jingjing. Don't forget that you're already sleeping with Jingjing.”
"I won't marry Jingjing. I've already decided to marry Jingjing to Director Yang's son.”He had already called Director Yang yesterday to discuss it.
"I disagree!" Mrs. Lou was furious. "What's so bad about Jingjing? You're unfilial if you don't marry her!" Jingjing grew up in the Lou family. She was definitely more suitable to be his wife than anyone else.
"Unfilial?" Lou Tingxu sneered at his mother and said,""Do you mean that I should let you mess with my life to be filial?”
"I'm your mother. Would I harm you?”She just wanted her son to be happy. She had watched Jingjing grow up since she was young. She believed that Jingjing would definitely be a good wife for her son.
"There are no parents in the world who are not like them. This is just a myth. Parents are also humans.”Lou Tingxu looked at his mother coldly and said,""I know you're doing this for my own good, but I can't let you control my life, so I can't marry Jingjing.”
"Are you planning to anger me to death?" Mrs. Lou said, clutching her chest.”She did not expect her son to talk to her like this.
"Don't worry, you're very healthy. That won't happen.”This kind of trick could not fool him.
"If you dare to marry Jingjing to Yang Zijin, I'll die for you!”"I want to see who is more important in your heart, me as a mother or your wife?" Mrs. Lou said fiercely. If you still want me as your mother, divorce that woman and listen to me and marry Jingjing.”She had already threatened her son with her own life. She would never allow her son to disobey her like this.
She was doing it again. Back then, she had also used this trick to force her father to give up on the idea of adopting Ye Zi.
"Is Jingjing really more important than the Lou family in your heart?”Lou Tingxu decided to resolve this troublesome matter today.
"What do you mean by that?" Why did his son ask that?
"Do you know why I married Nannan?”Lou Tingxu looked at his mother coldly and asked.
"That's because you were bewitched by that woman from Taiwan." Mrs. Lou said disdainfully.”Otherwise, why would he suddenly want to get married and ignore her objections?
"You should know that Grandpa and Nannan's grandmother are a couple who are not fated to be together, right? Grandpa had always felt guilty about Nannan's grandmother, so he made such a will when he died. Only Nannan's child had the right to inherit the property under his name, so one-third of the Lou family's property now belonged to Nannan's unborn child. Of course, there was a clause in the will. If anything happened to Nannan, then all the assets would be donated to charity.”
His grandfather had designed this will flawlessly to protect Fu Nannan. He was afraid that she would be bullied by the Lou family and that his children and grandchildren would harm her in order to get back the one-third of the property.
Mrs. Lou looked at her son with a pale face and said,"I don't believe it." She did not believe that her father-in-law would make such a will.
"Do you want to know what Grandpa left for Nannan's child?”Seeing his mother's pale face, he believed that his mother also knew the seriousness of this matter.
No matter what her father-in-law left behind, she knew very well that the Lou family couldn't lose that one-third of their assets. Was this the reason why her son wanted to marry Fu Nannan?
"Then what should we do about Jingjing?" Jingjing had always been deeply in love with him.
"I won't marry Jing Jing, and I've already promised Director Yang.”He had already decided on Jing Jing's future.
Hearing her son's words, Mrs. Lou's face couldn't help but turn pale. "Are you really going to marry Jingjing to Yang Zijin?”
Lou Tingxu looked at his mother coldly. "I've already discussed it with Director Yang."
Mrs. Lou didn't expect her son to not be angry. "Are you angry at Jingjing for setting you up, so you want to take revenge on her like this?”
How did her son become like this? In the past, he had always been lenient to others and strict with himself. No matter how angry he was with Jingjing, he could not ruin her like this.
"She asked for it." No one could set him up.
"How did you become like this?" At this moment, Mrs. Lou really realized that her son had changed.
Lou Tingxu sneered at his mother and said,""This is the real me." In the past, he only wore a mask.
After Lou Tingxu finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Mrs. Lou standing at the side, trembling with fear as she thought about her son's change.
Fourth Madam Lu looked impatiently at Fu Nannan, who was lying on the bed, and said,"How long are you going to cry for?"
If she had known that Fu Nannan was so good at crying, she would have taken him to the reservoir. She could have let him cry to his heart's content and also let the reservoir store more water.
Fu Nannan hid under the blanket and said,"Don't worry about me."”
"I don't want to care about you either. If it wasn't for Sister Siyu asking me to come and see you, I wouldn't care how long you cry!”Fourth Madam Lu walked over and snatched the blanket over. She looked at Fu Nannan, who was crying so hard that his eyes were about to swell, and said,"How long are you going to cry for? You just cried and didn't tell us what happened. Even if we wanted to help you vent your anger, we couldn't do anything.”
Looking at Fourth Madam Lu, Fu Nannan's tears flowed down again.
"Don't cry." Lü Si Niang picked up the tissue and threw it in front of Fu Nannan. "Wipe your tears dry. You've been crying more these past two days than before. Tell me what happened. Or is your mother-in-law going to be the first to eat it for you?" Fu Nannan wasn't such a useless person, was he? She wouldn't foolishly let others bully her until she couldn't stand it anymore and then go back to her mother's house to cry, right?
Fu Nannan picked up a tissue to wipe her tears."I've never seen my mother-in-law before.”
"You haven't seen him before?" "What's your husband doing? Is he so busy that he doesn't have time to take you back to his house?"”
Fu Nannan sobbed as she relayed what Lou Tingxu told her to Fourth Madam Lu. Fourth Madam Lu was her good friend from elementary school to university. She believed that Fourth Madam Lu would definitely help her.
"And then?" "Why did you run back to Taiwan crying?" asked Lu Si 'niang with a frown.”
Fu Nannan cried even harder when he heard Fourth Madam Lu's question.
"Don't cry. Even if you want to cry, you can only cry after you're done.”"Tell me quickly, what happened?" Fourth Madam Lu glared at Fu Nannan.”
Fu Nannan bit her lower lip and slowly recounted what had happened that day. However, after she finished speaking, her eyes turned red again. Soon, she was crying again.
Lu Si 'niang almost rolled her eyes. "Why are you crying so stupidly?”
"What else can I do?" At that time, her heart almost ached to death.
"Seriously, I usually tell you to read more romance novels, but you don't read them. You say that reading those novels is not nutritious. They're all written by romance novelists to swindle money. If you were willing to listen to me in the past and read a few books, you wouldn't be crying now.”This was a common plot in romance novels.
Even with the hair on her thighs, she knew that the male lead must have been drunk by the female supporting character or knocked out by knockout powder. Otherwise, he must have been knocked out by the female supporting character and then lay on the same bed as the female supporting character. When the female supporting character came back and saw it, she would misunderstand.
"What are you talking about?" Her heart ached to death. What romance novel did Fourth Madam Lu tell her? What did that have to do with what she had encountered?
"Because what you encountered is a common plot in romance novels. Those tricks are so old-fashioned that I'm already tired of them.”Lü Si Niang opened Fu Nannan's wardrobe and took out a pink dress. "Go wash your face and change your clothes. I'll take you back to my house.”
Fu Nannan hugged the dress and looked at Fourth Madam Lu in confusion. "What are we doing at your house?"
"Reading novels." This way, Fu Nannan would know what to do if he encountered such a thing in the future.
After all, the husband that Fu Nannan married was an extremely rich man. Even if such a man was not a playboy, there would be a lot of flies flying around him.
Under such circumstances, Fu Nannan had to at least know some of the tricks that he might use against those women. Otherwise, wouldn't she have to hug her pillow and cry every two or three days?
People could change, but not overnight. Even in a few days, they would have a 180-degree change. If this person really had a 180-degree change in a few days, then there were only two possibilities. One was that he had suffered a great shock, and the other was that this was his true face.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Siyu had been deep in thought. Her instincts told her that if she wanted to protect Fu Nannan from any harm, then she had to figure out what caused Lou Tingxu's personality to change 180 degrees.
After all, Lou Tingxu's reputation in the business world was too good. Some people even said that doing business with him was a pleasure. Of course, there were gentlemen in the business world, but she couldn't believe that Lou Tingxu was a gentleman. If he was a gentleman, he wouldn't have taken the opportunity to marry Fu Nannan.
But how was she supposed to find out why Lou Tingxu wanted to marry Fu Nannan?
At this moment, a person appeared in Yang Siyu's mind. It was said that he was Lou Tingxu's good friend for many years. Although he might not know why Lou Tingxu wanted to marry Fu Nannan, he must have some understanding of the Lou family. She might be able to get some useful information from him.
Picking up the phone, Yang Siyu wanted to call the United States directly, but she put down the phone and stood up. She decided to go upstairs to see if Fu Nannan was okay.
She had just walked to the stairs when the maid, Aunt Wang, told her,"Young miss, are you going to see second miss? The Second Miss was not around. She had been dragged out by Miss Lu early in the morning.”
"How was Nannan's expression when he left? Are you still crying?" Fu Nannan's tears in the past two days had almost broken their family's hearts. That was why she called Fourth Madam Lu, hoping that Fourth Madam Lu could help comfort Fu Nannan.
"When Second Young Miss went out, she was no longer crying.”Aunt Wang replied.
"That's good." She wouldn't let Fu Nannan be sad for too long. No one could bully Yang Siyu's most beloved sister!
"Miss, do you want me to make you a cup of coffee?" Aunt Wang asked with concern.”She had been a servant in the Fu family for more than ten years, and she had watched the two young ladies grow up, so she knew very well that Yang Siyu truly loved Fu Nannan. Although they were not related by blood, their relationship was definitely better than that of other biological sisters.
"Thank you, Aunt Wang." She had barely rested for the past two days.
"Young miss, you have to take good care of yourself.”Aunt Wang went to the kitchen after she finished speaking.
Yang Siyu smiled at Aunt Wang's concern, then returned to the living room to make a call.#
