The Bully President and the Serious Wife

Mrs. Xie climbed over from the back seat and asked, "What happened to our son?"

However, Xie Zhenting could only answer with a cold voice. "It's okay..."

Mrs. Xie couldn't help but glance outside and returned to her son. "Listen, son, I see competition. This vixen is really good at flirting."

“Mom, why can’t you assess the situation before you speak? Can’t you use your brain for once,” Xie Zhenting replied.

Before he could react, he heard slaps on the sides of his cheeks.

Mrs. Xie was furious and slapped him.

“You’re saying you’re smarter than me now, are you? She told you not to follow her and you were in the driver’s seat. Why were you so obedient to her?” she fired back at her son.

Xie Zhenting didn't say anything, staring out the window.

"Monica..." Grant's voice echoed in the darkness.

Xu Lu glared at him coldly and said, "I'm not Monica. My name is Xu Lu."

Xu Lu's cold response was like a sharp knife, cutting through Grant's warmth and comprehensive love.

Grant nodded in agreement and replied, "Well, I won't call you Monica. I've been looking for you, Lulu, for a long time. Why don't you admit that we know each other?"

Grant believed that if he ever found "Monica" again, he would have to hold her tightly in his arms, protect her from the wind and rain, and never let her live in fear and uncertainty.

He never imagined that when he saw her again, she would look completely different from how he remembered her.

Xu Lu laughed sarcastically. "Admit it? Admit that we know each other, and then publicly admit that we knew each other in the red-light district of Country M? Then everyone will think I'm a prostitute in the red-light district?"

Grant angrily retorted: "The situation was complicated! We were just looking for a refuge, a place to escape despair. This is not shameful behavior. Why are you so shameful!?"

Xu Lu laughed so hard she almost cried. "How can you be so naive? You've been to those places before. In the eyes of others, you're no longer pure, regardless of whether you've done those things or not. No one will believe your explanation. People only believe what they want to believe."

Grant was very sad. Xu Lu's words were sharp and full of sadness. She was just a girl in her twenties, but her experience far exceeded her age.

Grant nodded. "Well, let's put those days behind us. Neither of us will ever talk about them again. Can we... give ourselves a fresh start?"

Xu Lu remained silent. Grant was a good man, but she was not!

Xu Lu thought about it. "It doesn't matter. It's the past. There's nothing to talk about now." She turned around and prepared to leave.

Grant yelled at her, "Lulu, why don't you tell me your real name?"

Xu Lu laughed and said, "You didn't tell me you were Grant."

Grant quickly explained: “Abroad. I don’t think my Chinese name will be useful.”

Xu Lu rolled over. "Same here, me too. I never thought of having a lasting friendship, and I didn't want you to know me. Today, you saw how evil and mean I am. That's the kind of person I am."

“No, you didn’t…”

“Oh, yes, I am. How long have you known me? Do you think you know me that well?”

Grant stared into Xu Lu's eyes. "The Xu Lu I know is not like this, nor should she be like this."

Xu Lu said coldly, "You must be disappointed. This is who I am. This is the real me. The past... just like the name "Monica", it was all an illusion."

“I don’t believe…”

“Grant, don’t be so naive. In this world, not many people can remain pure and innocent.”

Mrs. Xie was very excited and pushed her depressed son. "Son, if you don't hurry up, she will be taken away."

“Take him away? He’ll have to defeat me first.”

Xie Zhenting pushed open the car door and strode towards Xu Lu.

He took off his jacket on the way and put it awkwardly on Xu Lu’s shoulders. “Xu Lu, why are you dawdling? Aren’t you finished talking yet?”

Xu Lu immediately wrapped herself in Xie Zhenting's arms, stood on tiptoe and tried to kiss him.

Xie Zhenting reacted immediately, hugged Xu Lu, and kissed her tightly. Grant's face turned gray all of a sudden.

It had only been over an hour since Grant met Xu Lu again, but he felt as if several years had passed.

Deep down in his heart, he always hoped that Xu Lu's relationship with Xie Zhenting was one-sided and that Xie Zhenting forced her.

He thought that at least Xu Lu was unwilling to enter into such a relationship.

However, Xu Lu cruelly stabbed his heart.

Xie Zhenting knew that he was being used by Xu Lu. But under the circumstances, he was willing to play along with her.

If it would help him get rid of a powerful rival in love, he would be happy to obey.

Even if Xu Lu didn't initiate the kiss, he planned to do the same thing. He had to make Grant give up hope.

Xu Lu let go of Xie Zhenting and looked towards Grant. “I want to be famous and become the hottest female star in the country. I want to stand at the top of the podium. These are my wishes, you can’t give them to me, but he can! Don’t come to me in the future, don’t even try to understand me. We can’t be friends. "

Xie Zhenting still hugged Xu Lu's waist, and he said: "Goodbye. We are going back now. Please inform my uncle and aunt for me that my mother is a little unwell in the bad weather."

Xie Zhenting turned around and hugged Xu Lu.

"Xu Lu..." Grant shouted from behind.

Xu Lu said sadly: "You should go back to Country M."

Grant could only watch as Xie Zhenting walked away with Xu Lu, both of them dressed in black, like a well-matched couple.

The pain in Grant's heart grew. He muttered to Xu Lu, who disappeared into the night. "But I wanted to wait for you."

Xie Zhenting can't give her love or happiness, but he can.

Xu Piaopiao walked quietly to Grant's side, "Thank you today, sir. I will remember your kindness..."

Grant left immediately, as if he hadn't heard her at all.

Xu Piaopiao gritted her teeth and clutched the hotel doorman's uniform tightly.
