The Bully President and the Serious Wife

Grant's fist hit Xie Zhenting in the face.

He may look like a small-time lawyer, but his fighting skills were trained by the finest warriors in the United States.

Xie Zhenting was already prepared.

When he decided to bring Xu Lu here, he already knew what was going to happen.

The battle was inevitable from the beginning.

Xie Zhenting took off his coat and tie. He loosened his sleeves and said, "I've been wanting to hit you. Come on."

Grant’s fist nearly hit Xie Zhenting’s ear. “You lied to me.”

"Indeed, I lied to you," Xie Zhenting answered frankly. There was no trace of regret in his voice.

"Why?"

Xie Zhenting dodged another blow. "Isn't that obvious enough? Why would I find another opponent?"

"Don't you think I'll find out eventually?"

“I knew you would find out eventually, which is why I wanted to tell the truth myself first. I wanted you to know that Xu Lu is mine.”

"You've always known Xu Lu. You knew from the beginning that she was the person I was looking for, but you kept it from me. Why didn't you continue to keep it from me? Why did you bring her in front of me?"

Grant also didn't know whether his anger stemmed from the betrayal of his best friend or from Xu Lu's claimed ignorance.

He had been looking for her, and now the woman he loved appeared before him.

However, he felt like he was joking.

Their battle was evenly matched.

After many rounds of back and forth, there was no clear winner, just two men out of breath, unable to continue.

He leaned his panting body against the wall, chin raised. "I thought today was an auspicious day for you to meet my woman."

Xie Zhenting looked at the fiery Grant and was quite satisfied with himself.

He jokingly said, “We are brothers after all, so I really should bring her to meet you.”

Grant just wanted to beat Xie Zhenting to death. "A gentleman doesn't steal someone else's beloved. I knew Monica first. You are so despicable."

He knew clearly that she was his woman, but he still stole her away.

Grant couldn't think of a better word to describe him than "despicable."

Xie Zhenting smirked. "I don't know any Monica. I only know Xu Lu. You said you knew her first? I don't think so. Do you know why Xu Lu went to Country M three years ago? Do you know who she was with before? I know. The person she was with three years ago was me. She was caught sleeping with me. That's why the Xu family kicked her out. Otherwise, how did you know her?"

The expression on Xie Zhenting's face was obviously one of gloating.

He said gloatingly that he knew Xu Lu first and that he had a relationship with Xu Lu in the past.

His eyes looked like they were saying, "I didn't accuse you of stealing my woman."

"you…"

Xie Zhenting raised his chin towards him. “I know you don’t believe what I say. You can ask her yourself if I’m the first man she’s been with. Then we’ll see who stole whose woman.”

"But you don't love her!" Grant almost shouted.

He has always been a reserved, calm, soft-spoken man.

Grant was furious. The woman he had dreamed of for so long—he just wanted to love her well.

All that was lost when the villain stepped in and took her away.

If the villain had been a good man, Grant might have been lenient.

However, he knew better than anyone that Xie Zhenting would never truly fall in love with someone.

He understands Xie Zhenting just as Xie Zhenting understands him.

Xie Zhenting smiled. "Love doesn't always need to exist between a man and a woman. I just know I want her, and I can't stand seeing her with another man. That's enough."

Xie Zhenting never thought about whether he loved Xu Lu.

Every time he saw her, he knew in his heart that he wanted her. He was willing to spend time and money on her and shamelessly follow her around. He wanted her to be his woman.

Grant said, "You've been like this since you were a kid. No one is going to give you everything just because you want it. Have you ever thought about whether she really wants it?"

Xie Zhenting remembered the cold and piercing gaze that Xu Lu had given him just now. He smiled coldly and said, “Why should I consider what she wants? I only know what I want. "

"You shameless bastard!" Grant suddenly pounced on Xie Zhenting and punched him in the abdomen.

Xie Zhenting coughed in pain. He grabbed Grant’s wrist, twisted it, and said to him, “Grant, if you want her to make headlines again tomorrow, if you want to ruin your sister’s coming-of-age ceremony, then go and cause some trouble. I’m not worried at all.”

Grant would never act rashly like Xie Zhenting did - this was his sister's coming-of-age ceremony after all. He couldn't ruin it.

Grant pushed Xie Zhenting away. “We’re not done with this job yet.”

Xie Zhenting slowly straightened his shirt and said, "Come on. We are brothers after all. Let's solve this problem once and for all. There should be no gray area when it comes to women's issues."

Even if Grant didn't come, I would go find him.

He also wanted Grant to tell him what happened between them in Country M.

Grant clenched his jaw and hissed, "I won't hand her over to you."

After saying this, Grant left.

Xie Zhenting picked up his coat, adjusted his tie, and smirked. "Then go take her away from me."

After packing up, Xie Zhenting returned to the banquet hall and looked around. Xu Lu was nowhere to be found. Instead, he saw his mother.

"Mother."

Mrs. Xie was surrounded by a group of wealthy women from different families. When she saw her son, she quickly pulled him aside.

“What did you do? Why did you bring that little slut here?” she scolded.

“She’s my woman, why don’t I bring her here? Where is she?”

“Who knows where she went. She didn’t even come to greet me, so rude.”

Xie Zhenting quickly changed the subject. "Aren't you wearing that new jade necklace?"

“Oh, Mrs. Wang wants to borrow it, and I don’t know how to refuse her.”

As the two of them were chatting, a familiar voice rang out.

"Zhen Ting, Auntie, long time no see."

The mother and son looked up and saw Xu Piaopiao standing in front of them elegantly in a sky blue dress.

“Piao Piao…”

“Mom, go over there and talk to your friends. You’re an adult now, so learn how to see a person’s personality. Don’t always mistake bad people for good.”

Xu Piaopiao remained calm and greeted the wife enthusiastically. "Auntie, I'll go with you. We have a lot to talk about."

Xie Zhenting said. "Xu Piaopiao, don't you have ears? You don't need ears. I'll find someone to cut them off for you."

Xu Piaopiao's face turned pale. "Zhen Ting, I know you don't want to see me. If I had known you were coming, I wouldn't have let you see me. Miss Grant invited me personally, and I can't be so rude to refuse someone's invitation."

"Zhen Ting, how can you say that?" Mrs. Xie whispered.

Suddenly, someone squeezed between Mrs. Xie and Xie Zhenting and grabbed their arms. "What are you talking about? Can I join in?"

When Xu Piaopiao heard the voice, she clenched her fists and the smile on her face was about to disappear.

Mrs. Xie said. “Where are you from? You scared me.”

Xu Lu spoke to Mrs. Xie enthusiastically: "Auntie, it's only been a few days since we last met, and you've become even more beautiful! Thank you for the clothes. Next time I'll go to your house and try your grilled steak again. I miss it so much."

Mrs. Xie smiled and said, "That's for my son, not for you."

"Isn't it the same? You love your son, your son loves me, so you love me too." Xu Lu thought for a moment, then turned around and looked at Xie Zhenting. "Right, honey?"

Xie Zhenting pinched Xu Lu's cheek. "Of course, you're right. Where have you been?"

Xu Lu glanced at him coldly and said, “I was hurt by a bastard, so I went to find a good person for treatment. Is there a problem?”

Xie Zhenting's face froze for a second. Was she laughing at him?

He shamelessly replied: "Don't worry, that bastard will apologize to you when he comes back."

Xu Lu rolled her eyes. "Apologize? I'm not interested at all. Unless you kiss me..."

Mrs. Xie listened to their conversation very alertly. When she heard what Xu Lu said, she immediately interrupted her.

"Hey, little slut, this is Miss Grant's coming-of-age ceremony, don't bother causing trouble here. You're bad enough making a scene at home, don't do it here."

As soon as Mrs. Xie finished her words, Xie Zhenting lifted Xu Lu’s chin and kissed her face. “Be good now and don’t be angry. "

Mrs. Xie pointed at them and said, "Great! You two are teaming up to deal with me."

Xu Lu hugged Mrs. Xie. “It’s not true, Auntie. Look at us, we are so in love. You should be happy. You will have grandchildren soon.”
