The Bully President and the Serious Wife

"Auntie, you're not as innocent and pure as you look. You're just putting on a fake act. Are you tired of this fake facade? Also, look at yourself; you're getting older. How long do you think you can keep your beauty? One day, no one will want you anymore. So, tell me, what cards do you have left to win me over? What are you going to use now? Your wrinkles?"

Seeing her take out a razor from her wallet, Xu Piaopiao trembled with fear. "What are you doing with the razor?" Xu Piaopiao asked in a trembling voice.

Xu Lu blew gently on the edge of the blade and said, "I'm going to kill you, fool. Letting you live only makes me sick."

"There are people all around... If you dare to kill me, you can't escape..." Xu Piaopiao said in horror.

Xu Lu shrugged and said, "Why don't I give it a try? You know me, I'm crazy. When I'm manic, I can do anything."

Xu Piaopiao was completely overwhelmed by fear. She knew Xu Lu was a lunatic—the embodiment of evil. She had no humanity at all.

Xu Piaopiao thought she was going to die. However, she could hear the sound of fibers tearing. She felt a cold wind blowing across her chest, and she looked down to see large tears in her long skirt. Xu Piaopiao struggled. “Xu Lu, what are you doing?”

Xu Lu pulled off Xu Piaopiao's skirt and said, "Auntie, for a foreigner like you, it's more appropriate to be completely naked."

Xu Lu moved quickly and in less than a minute, she had stripped off all the poor girl's clothes.

“Miss, thank you for being here tonight. I have no one else to vent my anger on. You know, I hope you can last longer than Xu Mingzhu. Otherwise... there will be no one else to be my plaything,” Xu Lu said with a smile.

Xu Lu was very satisfied with what she had done. She whistled, turned around, threw the torn cloth into the trash can, and left the scene.

However, before she could get far, she noticed Grant standing next to the men's restroom.

Her whole face changed, becoming flat and empty, whereas only minutes before she had been so happy.

She ignored him and continued walking away.

"Monica..." a voice called out.

Xu Lu quickened her pace after hearing the sound.

She didn't know anyone named Monica on Earth!

...

She finally arrived at the main venue. Mrs. Xie pulled Xu Lu aside and said, "Did you drown in the bathroom? What took you so long?"

Xu Lu pulled Mrs. Xie's shoulders and said, "Are you worried about me?"

"My son brought you here. It would be embarrassing for us if you got in trouble."

Xu Lu pursed her lips and stared at Mrs. Xie cautiously.

Mrs. Xie responded, “Please don’t do that. I’m not a man. I won’t be…”

Xu Lu glanced at him innocently, nodded gently and said, "Auntie, I think I... may have gotten into a little trouble. What should I do?"

Mrs. Xie was very angry at this point. Her face flushed with anger. “You…you…I knew that you, this little goblin, were a trouble…”

Before she could finish her words, she grabbed Xu Lu and rushed to Xie Zhenting's side.

Mrs. Xie ignored her son's idle chat with some business partners and pulled her son aside.

Mrs. Xie whispered, "We have to get out of here quickly. Quickly, before anyone sees us."

“What’s wrong, Mom? Why are we in such a hurry to leave?” he said.

Mrs. Xie glared at Xu Lu and said, “She did all this. We’re all in trouble. Hurry up, hurry up… If anyone notices, we won’t be able to escape.”

Xu Lu didn't know what to feel. It was all so new to her. She felt a bittersweet, complex, yet warm feeling. It was hard to describe how she felt.

Mrs. Xie could take her son and leave. Because no matter what trouble Xu Lu got into, it had nothing to do with the Xie family. Besides, she was just an outsider.

However, Mrs. Xie took her hand and ran to her son without asking her what trouble she had gotten into.

“Mom, please calm down. Let Lulu explain what trouble she got into? Also, what are you worried about? Who is causing trouble for the Xie family?” He tried to ease the situation.

“You’re right. What did you do this time?” Mrs. Xie said. She just realized that she hadn’t asked about her situation.

"I..." Xu Lu rubbed her nose nervously: "I... I took off Xu Piaopiao's clothes."

After hearing what Xu Lu had done, Mrs. Xie felt very weak and limped a little as she grabbed her son's shoulders.

"Please take this bad luck out of here right away, kid. If we don't hurry up, who knows what will happen next," Mrs. Xie said.

Xie Zhenting tried hard to suppress his laughter and said, "That doesn't sound bad, Mom. I thought she really killed someone."

Mrs. Xie’s eyes widened in shock and she replied, “Do you want her to actually kill someone? Can you please stop dawdling? We need to hurry because this is the coming-of-age ceremony for the princess of the Grant family. If we get into any trouble, it will be embarrassing for us. You and Grant are friends, how could you be so careless?”

Mrs. Xie pointed at Xu Lu and said, "I'm telling you now, Miss... I dare say that in the future..."

Xu Lu happily put her arm around Mrs. Xie and replied, "If you're not around, I'll get into trouble in the future."

"You wouldn't be allowed to do that even if I wasn't here," she protested.

Xie Zhenting smiled. His mother didn't actually hate Xu Lu as much as she claimed.

She was a soft-hearted old lady, despite her stern demeanor.

Xie Zhenting hugged the two women and said happily: "Come on, let's go home."

"Mom, shouldn't we at least say goodbye to the Grant family?" Xie Zhenting added.

"What if tensions between our two families become strained? Wouldn't that immediately cause embarrassment for both families? I'd wait until we get home to call Mrs. Grant. Explain our sudden departure as a minor illness," she explained.

"Mom, you are so smart."

"Just save yourself some energy. It'll give me less worries in the future," Mrs. Xie said.

Xu Lu remained silent throughout the process. She was not afraid of any consequences.

However, there was someone who supported her and even cared about her, and she couldn't help but be moved by the belated love.

After leaving the hotel, they got in the car and Xu Lu noticed a man approaching their car.

Xu Lu's face turned pale for a moment, and within two seconds, she said, "Stop the car..."

Xie Zhenting saw the same outline, and his expression was even worse than Xu Lu's.

However, he never thought of stopping, Xu Lu grabbed the brake in his hand and pulled it up.

She opened the door, turned her back to Xie Zhenting, and said to him in a very stern voice: "Don't follow me."

She closed the door and walked towards the man.
