"Boss, everything is ready." The tap-tap is in a short and forceful duration, which draws Qin Chen’s attention from his meditation.
Qin makes a response, and the door opens gently, a gentleman with gla.s.ses comes in straightforward, and puts a paper bag in front of Qin.
Behind him, a dining car full of food is waiting, which carries colorful plates. They are not big but quite exquisite.
“Let’s eat.”
Qin takes a glance at the paper, then directly carries Lu who is crying on the bed to the dining room.
The woman just stares at the ceiling in a daze, silent and still, with empty eyes as grey as death.
"It did happen yesterday, we cannot change it. How much you want, tell me." Qin says patiently.
On hearing what Qin said, Lu’s blank eyes finally return to normal.
"Is this your way? You think I’m just for money?"
Qin frowns, seemingly displeased: "You should be judicious."
"Hoho!” Lu sneers, and slowly sits up on the chair, and at the moment she only wears a Qin’s s.h.i.+rt, with the collar opening. The hickeys on collarbone are beyond imagination.
She picks up the check on the table and walks through the long table to Qin.
The man’s pupils cannot help contracting a little. He is about to speak when the check is smacked on his stout chest.
“ I Pay for last night!”
After that, Lu goes straight to the room to change clothes, pretending to leave.
Qin sits silently in the dining room, staring quietly until the woman prepares to open the door, then he utters: "Take the medicine before leaving."
"Medicine?" Lu turns around, filled with puzzlement.
"Emergency contraception." Qin mows, meanwhile, he takes out a small pill box from the paper bag. His tone sounds plain as usual, however, he told a lie, the first lie in his life.
The medicine is well-prepared? Lu does not know what to say, and she sneers, swallowing the pill with milk under the supervision of Qin, and goes out.
Lu has been away quite a long time, and Qin picks up his phone on whose screen flashes Vera’s text.
Qin hesitates, calling back at once.
Soon, Vera"s voice is heard, which sounds worried: "Darling, your phone starts up? I have been waiting for you for a long time. How is that woman? It is identified that she is a virgin, and quite healthy."
It worries you a lot. Qin says scornfully and lightly, "Good."
"That"s great. As long as she gets pregnant, your grandfather will be satisfied.You know, my goal has always been to win Grammy Awards, get married and have kids, which...Chen, you will understand me, won"t you?"
"Well, come on." Qin says softly and then hangs up.
Seven years? Career? In silence, the man smiles in a contemplating manner.
Lu runs far away from the Westin Hotel. She stops and sits on the side of road, sweating heavily and her legs trembling with exhaustion.
She clutches the phone, but does not dare to turn on it, for fear that Chu’s messages or calls would pop up.
She pretends to be strong, which completely collapses at this moment.
What she feels puzzled is: the hotel is right, the room is right, and why is the person wrong?
Besides, her sister sent her here...
No, it won"t! Sister will never harm her. Yesterday she also said that she would help to plan for their wedding, how is that possible?
Lu shakes her head, trying to dispel this terrible idea.
In a sudden, a BMWS of limited edition pulls up in front of her. When the car window is rolled down, a middle-aged man appears, who has a tall nose and lightening eyes. In addition, time has left its track on his grey hair , which makes him look calm.
"Miss Lu, may I have a word? My name is Chu, the father of Shaoxiu."
Shaoxiu, the name is like a magic holding Lu tightly, making her unable to move any longer, and she bends and gets into the car.
“Mr. Chu……I……”
"Don"t misunderstand, I have no malice. I hear people talk about you all the time, and today I happen to see you, so I want to talk with."
"You have been in relations.h.i.+p with Shaoxiu for four years, right?" The voice of Mr Chu is very low, and the face implies a slight grin. It seems that he is an amiable elders.h.i.+p.
"Yes." Lu responds in a low voice.
"Four years...it’s quite long. But Miss Lu, you should know our family reputation. Frankly speaking, our families are of equal social status, but I hear that your mother has been dead for many years, right?"
Mother?
Lu’s pupils dilate greatly in an instant. She remembers that her mother is at home. Last time, she scolded her.
Seeing Lu’s surprised expression, Chu smirks more. He loves seeing people panic, especially the woman who is about to be driven out of her own house.
"It seems that Miss Lu has no idea yet. Thus, I can tell you! Mrs. Lu is not your biological mother, your biological mother is just the barmaid your father encountered outside."
"A barmaid"s daughter, what qualifications do you have to be the wife of Shaoxiu?"
