After Fu Nannan was dragged home by Fourth Madam Lu, Fourth Madam Lu picked out a bunch of romance novels from her collection for her to read.
With her current mood, she couldn't read a book. However, under Lu Si 'niang's fierce coercion, she still obediently picked up the book and read it.
After reading the romance novels, she finally understood why Lu Si 'niang told her that what Jing Jing did was a common plot in romance novels.
Thinking about it carefully, she also felt that she was too impulsive. Although she saw Lou Tingxu and Jingjing on the same bed, Jingjing was wearing pajamas while Lou Tingxu was sleeping soundly on the bed. He didn't react to her conversation with Jingjing at all.
Moreover, from her experience of sharing a bed with Lou Tingxu over the past few months, she knew that Lou Tingxu was a very light sleeper, so it was impossible for him to be so tired that he couldn't hear her conversation with Jingjing.
Moreover, based on her understanding of Lou Tingxu over the past few months, even if Lou Tingxu really wanted to do something with Jingjing, he wouldn't choose to do it in their room.
Was all of this really Jingjing's scheme?
Thinking about what happened that day, Fu Nannan felt that all of this might have been planned by Jingjing. If all of this was just Jingjing's trick, then wouldn't her tears over the past two days be in vain?
Thinking of this, Fu Nannan put down the book in his hand and calmed down to think. Since he knew that all of this might be Jingjing's trick, what should she do next?
Glancing at Fourth Madam Lu who was already exhausted on the bed, Fu Nannan knew that she needed someone else's opinion next, but Fourth Madam Lu, who had never been in a relationship, could not give her the advice she needed. At this time, the only person who could help her was Yang Siyu.
Looking at Fu Nannan sitting in front of her, Yang Siyu said after a while,""You said you want to go back to Shanghai?"
Fu Nannan nodded and said," Yes, Lou Tingxu is my husband. I won't give him to another woman. Sister Siyu, you didn't teach me to surrender without a fight. Even if I want to surrender, I'll have to wait until I'm sure I've really lost."”
"Nannan, marriage is different from other things.”Of course, she was happy to see Nannan recover, but Nannan's request made her have no choice but to persuade him to think twice.
"I know, but I don't want to give my husband to another woman.”So what if Jingjing had her mother-in-law backing her up? Her sister was smarter than anyone else. With her help, Jingjing was no match for her.
"Why?" Yang Siyu looked at Fu Nannan and said,"Why don't you want to give Lou Tingxu to another woman? Was it because he refused to admit defeat? Or is it for some other reason?"
Fu Nannan could not answer Yang Siyu's question. She had not thought about it yet.
"Why?" Yang Siyu asked in a low voice. "I've already prepared 30 million yuan to return to Lou Tingxu. If you don't love him, you can divorce him after I return the money to him.”
Hearing Yang Siyu's words, Fu Nannan immediately shook her head and said,""I don't want to."
"Why?" Yang Siyu caressed Fu Nannan's cheek and said,""Nannan, why don't you want to divorce Lou Tingxu?”
" I…" She didn't know what to say. "He's my husband, and he's really, really good to me.”
It seemed that Fu Nannan had fallen in love with Lou Tingxu, but she had not realized it herself.
"Is that all?"
"Of course not." Fu Nannan began to think. Why was she unwilling to get a divorce? Just because Lou Tingxu treated her well? However, she knew that this was not the only reason. What else was there?
Looking at Yang Siyu's expression that seemed to understand everything, she thought that Yang Siyu had always understood her better than she did, so Yang Siyu must know why she refused to get a divorce.
However, she knew that she could not ask Yang Siyu for an answer this time. She had to find the answer herself, so she began to calm down and think about why she was unwilling to get a divorce.
As she thought about it, she could only think of one possibility. At first, she was shocked, but the more she thought about it, the more she realized that this was the only possibility why she was unwilling to get a divorce.
She looked at Yang Siyu and said,"The reason why I'm unwilling to get a divorce is because I'm in love with him."?”
Yang Siyu looked at Fu Nannan and asked,"So even if Lou Tingxu married you for other reasons, you don't mind?"?”
"Of course, I've thought about this problem. If he didn't have other intentions, he wouldn't have married me at all.”Fu Nannan had already thought of this.
"You don't mind?" As expected of her sister, she had thought of all the problems that she should have thought of.
Fu Nannan shook her head. "What I care about now is that he loves me? If he doesn't love me, then what should I do to make him fall in love with me?”
"My sister is so beautiful and cute. How could Lou Tingxu not fall in love with you?”
Could Fu Nannan's departure be the reason for Lou Tingxu's drastic change in temperament?
"Then Sister Siyu, what should I do next?”Although she already had the concept, she still didn't know what to do.
"Nannan, do you believe me?" Since Fu Nannan had fallen in love with Lou Tingxu, even if Lou Tingxu was lucky, as long as Fu Nannan wanted Lou Tingxu to be her husband, no one could snatch her husband away from him.
Fu Nannan nodded. Of course she trusted Yang Siyu.
"Then let's do it!" Yang Siyu slowly told Fu Nannan her plan.
Just as Lou Tingxu was preparing to go to Taiwan to look for Fu Nannan the next day, he received a call from the Fu family. They said that Fu Nannan would fly to Shanghai this afternoon and asked him to send someone to pick him up.
Fu Nannan was back! This was beyond his expectations. He thought that the Fu family would wait for him to pick up Fu Nannan and explain to them.
Although his little wife had a gentle temperament, she was not a person who would submit to adversity. She should be angry about Jingjing's matter. What would she do when she returned home?
Lou Tingxu couldn't help but laugh when he thought of how Fu Nannan had gotten himself drunk after throwing a tantrum last time. What happened next forced them to become a real couple. What would Fu Nannan do this time? Thinking of this, he realized that his heart was filled with anticipation.
He waited for Fu Nannan to return. He was waiting for a surprise when she got home tonight.
However, Fu Nannan didn't go home first. She asked the driver to send her directly to Lou Tingxu's company.
This time, the two receptionists were the same as the last time. Similarly, Lou Tingxu was also in a meeting. At the same time, she didn't want to wait in the reception room. She wanted the receptionist to bring her directly to Lou Tingxu's office.
On the way, she passed by the secretary's office and saw Xu Yinghong walking towards her.
Seeing Fu Nannan, Xu Yinghong was stunned for a moment, but she immediately pretended that nothing had happened and walked to Fu Nannan's side.
"Wait a minute." Fu Nannan stopped Xu Yinghong.
Xu Yinghong stopped and looked at Fu Nannan.""Mrs. President, what's the matter?”
"I just want to say a few words to you.”Fu Nannan whispered in Xu Yinghong's ear,""As a wife who knows that someone admires my husband, although I'm very unhappy, I also have a sense of vanity. However, I advise you to only admire my husband. Otherwise, you will know that a woman can do anything to protect her marriage.”
Looking at Fu Nannan who left after saying that, Xu Yinghong noticed the change in Fu Nannan.
Although she had only met Fu Nannan twice, the first time she saw him, Fu Nannan gave her the feeling of a cute girl. Now, Fu Nannan gave off the feeling of a woman, a woman who defended her love.
Lou Tingxu's secretary told him that Fu Nannan was waiting for him in his office after the meeting.
When he returned to his office, he saw Fu Nannan sitting leisurely at his desk, drinking tea and eating snacks.
"Do you want a cup of black tea after the meeting?”Fu Nannan raised the cup in her hand and asked as she observed Lou Tingxu carefully. As Yang Siyu had said, Lou Tingxu seemed to have changed into a different person.
He seemed to have taken off his gentle and elegant mask. His expression was so cold that it was as if they were strangers.
"Did you have fun at your parents 'house these few days?”He knew that Yang Siyu had returned to Taiwan, so Fu Nannan should have been with her for the past few days, right?
"What about you? Did you have fun these few days?" The butler had already told her that Lou Tingxu's mother had arrived in Shanghai and had even quarreled with Lou Tingxu in front of the servants last night.
No, it should be said that only her mother-in-law shouted at Lou Tingxu, and Lou Tingxu ignored her and continued to eat.
Lou Tingxu sat down on the sofa and took a few sips of the coffee that his secretary had brought in. "Are you feeling better?"
"What do you think?" Fu Nannan stood up and walked to Lou Tingxu. He took out a check from his pocket and handed it to him.
"What is this?" Lou Tingxu raised his eyebrows and asked.
"This is the principal and interest that the Fu family has returned to you.”Fu Nannan placed the check in front of Lou Tingxu.
"I didn't ask the Fu family to pay me back." Lou Tingxu didn't even look at the check.
"I know you didn't ask the Fu family to return the money, but I still think it's better to return the money to you first.”Only now did she remember that she had forgotten to ask Yang Siyu how she managed to gather the money.
Her father and stepmother told her that Yang Siyu had given them the 30 million yuan and wanted them to return it to Lou Tingxu. However, Yang Siyu was just a student. Where did she get the 30 million yuan?
"Why?" Lou Tingxu looked at Fu Nannan coldly and asked.
Fu Nannan looked at Lou Tingxu and said,"Because I want to be on equal footing with you."”
"You're my wife. Of course, you're on equal footing with me. Who dares to look down on you?”Those who saw Fu Nannan were all trying their best to flatter him.
"Yes." Fu Nannan nodded and said," I don't want your family to look down on me. Although the Fu family had a career crisis back then, if I hadn't married you willingly, my father and stepmother would rather bankrupt the Fu Corporation than force me to marry you. Therefore, even though you've given 30 million yuan to the Fu family, the Fu family is marrying their daughter to you, not selling her to you.”
Are you concerned about Jingjing?" Was that why she wanted to return the money to him?
"Indeed." Fu Nannan admitted. "Although I married you because of the Fu family, I'm not greedy for the Lou family's wealth. I can't tolerate someone pointing at my nose and saying that you bought me with money.”
" I want Jingjing to apologize to you." Although he didn't know what Jingjing said to Fu Nannan, he could guess that Jingjing must have said a lot of nasty things to Fu Nannan.
"Of course, the other reason I came back was because of Jingjing. I'm your wife. Seeing you lying in our bed with another woman, unless I don't care about you at all, how can I not be angry? The reason why I came back wasn't because I was angry, but because I wanted to know why you were lying in our bed with Jingjing.”Fu Nannan tried his best to suppress his anger. What men hated the most was women crying, throwing a tantrum, and hanging themselves.
Noisy couldn't solve the problem. To solve the problem, one had to be calm. This was what Yang Siyu had taught her. Yang Siyu had told her to remember it and never forget it.
"I was drugged by Jingjing." He thought that Fu Nannan would cry and throw a tantrum like last time, but he didn't expect Fu Nannan to be so calm.
"And then?" Was he trying to explain everything with this sentence?
"I've already decided to marry Jingjing off.”He had also discussed the wedding date with Director Yang. In two months, Jingjing would marry into the Yang family.
It was undeniable that Fu Nannan felt much more at ease after knowing this. "Then, won't granny object?" She knew that her mother-in-law had already arrived in Shanghai and that Jingjing was her most beloved niece. Would she agree to let Jingjing get married off just like that?
"I won't allow anyone to object to this matter.”Those who dared to scheme against him would not have a good ending.
The expression on Lou Tingxu's face when he said this stunned Fu Nannan. She looked at Lou Tingxu for a while before she suddenly reached out and pulled his face.
"What are you doing?" Lou Tingxu looked at Fu Nannan coldly.
"Is this your true face?" In the past, although Lou Tingxu wasn't amiable, he was still considered gentle and refined.
However, his expression was really cold now. No wonder the atmosphere in the office was completely different from the last time she came.
Lou Tingxu's current expression could scare away a bunch of women who admired him, but there should also be a bunch of women who would be attracted by his cold aura.
"Aren't you afraid?" The current Jing Jing was so scared of him that she wanted to stay as far away from him as possible.
"Why should I be afraid of you?" Fu Nannan raised her eyebrows.”Although his expression was cold, it was not so cold that it was scary, so she had no reason to be afraid of him.
Lou Tingxu looked into Fu Nannan's eyes. There was no fear in her eyes, only curiosity.
"You must be tired after coming back, right? I'll ask the driver to send you home to rest.”He didn't dare to continue looking into Fu Nannan's eyes, afraid that if he continued to look at Fu Nannan, his feelings for Fu Nannan would deepen.
"You want me to face granny by myself?”Did he want to see two tigers fight? She knew that her mother-in-law definitely didn't like her.
"Are you afraid of my mother?" If Fu Nannan wasn't even afraid of him, why would he be afraid of her mother?
Fu Nannan waved her index finger in front of Lou Tingxu and said,""I'm not afraid of mother-in-law, but if the two of us get into a fight, don't even think about escaping.”
The war between two women was often caused by the man. If the two women wanted to fight, the man naturally could not stay out of it. The place he had to stay was naturally the center of the battlefield.
Lou Tingxu looked at Fu Nannan and said,"Do you know that you've changed?"”Fu Nannan had become much more confident and stronger.
"Haven't you changed too?" Fu Nannan looked at Lou Tingxu." I hope you can tell me one day why you're wearing that mask."”
The current Lou Tingxu was the real him, right? In the past, although he was gentle and refined, he was like an actor wearing a mask. Although his acting skills were good, he was not the real him.
However, she was more curious about why he was wearing that mask. What was the reason he had to wear that mask?
Lou Tingxu's eyes dimmed as he changed the topic.""Since you don't want to go back alone, wait for me. I'll go back with you after I'm done with some work.”
Everyone had a past, and some of those past were things that even they wanted to forget. Even if they couldn't forget, they didn't want to remember or tell anyone. Of course, he was the same. He wished he could forget some of the past in his life, some of the past that he hoped he would never remember.
Looking at Fu Nannan, Mrs. Lou's face was expressionless, but her eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.
After finding out why her son married her, she was even more worried about her son. Could Fu Nannan bring happiness to her son?
"Mom, this is Nannan. Nannan, this is my mother.”Lou Tingxu introduced the two women to each other.
He could tell from his mother's eyes that she didn't like Fu Nannan, very, very much.
Of course, he had heard of this saying before. The most terrible war in the world was not a war between countries. The most terrible war in the world was a war between two women. No matter who won the war between the two women, the most pitiful one was not the two women, but the man sandwiched between the two women.
Therefore, Lou Tingxu decided to send his mother back to Malaixi in a few days to isolate his mother and wife. This was the best arrangement for both of them.
"Hello, Granny," Fu Nannan greeted politely.”She stood respectfully in front of Mrs. Fu with a cup of tea.
Her mother-in-law was her husband's mother, not her own mother, so she would rather be polite than rude.
She had also heard of some overseas Chinese who grew up overseas. Although they had settled in the place of residence for many years, their thoughts and concepts were still the same as their ancestors. They were so conservative that it was as if they were still living in the 19th century.
Mrs. Lou only snorted lightly. She originally wanted to ignore Fu Nannan, but after meeting her son's cold gaze, she had no choice but to take the tea from Fu Nannan's hand. After taking a sip, she placed the teacup on the table in front of her.
"Although I object to your marriage, since Tingxu has already married you, I have nothing to say. However, you have to remember that the job of the Lou family's daughter-in-law is not so easy to get. As the daughter-in-law of the Lou family, you have to be careful with your words and actions. Don't forget your identity, understand?”
"I'll keep it in mind," Fu Nannan replied obediently.”
Only then did Mrs. Lou nod and look at her son, indicating,"Are you satisfied now?"
Fu Nannan was relieved that Mrs. Lou didn't make things difficult for her. Although she was mentally prepared, she didn't expect Mrs. Lou to let her go so easily. This made her feel like she had won the lottery.
It had been more than a week since she returned to Shanghai. Although Mrs. Lou didn't have a good expression on Fu Nannan's face, she didn't make things difficult for Fu Nannan because she didn't care about him at all.
As for Jing Jing? Fu Nannan had only seen her once in the week since he came back, and that time was when he met her in the stairwell. At that time, her eyes were red, as if she had just cried.
She had heard from Lou Tingxu that he had already arranged Jingjing's marriage, but she didn't know if Jingjing was crying because she refused to get married. After all, she could see that Jingjing still loved Lou Tingxu deeply.
Her relationship with Lou Tingxu was getting better, but she felt uneasy. Why did she feel uneasy? She did not know.
However, she knew that it was absolutely calm before the storm. The more calm it was now, the more violent the storm would be.
Looking at Fu Nannan, who was leisurely sitting on the sofa reading a book, Jingjing really hated her, and this deepened her desire to hurt Fu Nannan.
Jingjing looked at Fu Nannan maliciously and said,""Do you know why cousin married you?”
Fu Nannan looked up and saw Jingjing. Hadn't Jingjing been avoiding her as far as she could these days? Why did he suddenly come to talk to her?
"Do you think I'll still believe you?”She was not stupid enough to be deceived twice.
"It's up to you whether you believe me or not, but what I said is true.”She really hated it. Why wasn't she the one Lou Tingxu loved? "Cousin married you not because he fell in love with you, but because of his grandfather's will. His grandfather left a third of his inheritance to your child in his will. That's why Cousin wants to marry you because the Lou family won't give away this one-third of their assets for nothing.”
Mrs. Fu could not bear to see her so sad, so she told her this secret. When she found out about this, she knew that her chance for revenge had come.
Since she couldn't escape the fate of marrying Yang Zijin, then Fu Nannan could forget about living a happy life. She wanted Fu Nannan to suffer and be sad with her.
Fu Nannan looked at Jingjing in disbelief. Although she knew that there must be a reason why Lou Tingxu married her, she couldn't imagine that it was because of this reason.
"You're lying!" She couldn't believe what Jing Jing said was true.
"My aunt told me this herself. If you don't believe me, you can ask her.”Anyway, she had already gone all out.
Fu Nannan threw the book aside and stood up. "I'll ask."
Jingjing looked at Fu Nannan mockingly. "Do you think that cousin really treats you well? Yes, he treats you very well now, but that's only because he wants you to give birth to his child. Do you think he'll still care about you after you give birth? It seems that your future is very likely to end up like your grandmother.”
Fu Nannan looked at Jingjing. This time, she must not run away without a fight. "So what if Tingxu wants to marry me because of his grandfather's will? At least I have the confidence to make him fall in love with me, unlike you. Even if you strip naked and jump into his bed, he still doesn't want you.”
" You..." Jingjing raised her hand angrily.
"I advise you to think twice. Don't forget that I'm the mistress of this house. If you dare to lay a hand on me, I guarantee that you'll have to leave this place within ten minutes.”She wouldn't let Jingjing bully her like last time.
Hearing Fu Nannan's words, Jingjing did not wave her hand down. She just watched Fu Nannan leave.
Fu Nannan knocked on Mrs. Lou's door angrily, then opened the door and walked in.
Mrs. Lou looked at Fu Nannan unhappily. "Why did you come in like this? Do you have any manners?" How could Fu Nannan open the door and come in before she could say anything?
"Is what you told Jingjing true?”How could she care about manners now?
"Is what true?" What exactly was Fu Nannan asking? It was so vague that she couldn't understand.
Fu Nannan suppressed his anger and said," It's Tingxu who wants to marry me because of his grandfather's will. You told Jingjing this, right?" I want to know if this is true."
How could Jingjing tell Fu Nannan about this?
Looking at Fu Nannan's angry and sad expression, Mrs. Lou wanted to deny it, but she suddenly had a thought. She thought that she might be able to use this opportunity to know her son's feelings. She hoped that her son could be happy.
If her son didn't love Fu Nannan, then she should let Fu Nannan know why her son married her. Then, they might have a chance to find their own happiness. If his son really loved Fu Nannan, then this incident would naturally force his son to confess his feelings for Fu Nannan.
Mrs. Lou deliberately said to Fu Nannan,"Of course it's true. Otherwise, why do you think Tingxu married you?" There are many other ladies from prestigious families who are more suitable for Tingxu than you. If it wasn't for my father-in-law's will, Tingxu would never have married you.”
So it was true! Fu Nannan turned around angrily and left.#
