The Bully President and the Serious Wife

"Thank you so much, Auntie," Xu Lu said.

Her sudden intervention solved Xu Lu's situation.

Mrs. Xie said, "It was a very complicated family."

"Yes." Xu Lu replied.

"I think the infighting within that family was quite serious. There was not a single day of peace within the family... How Uncle Grant's wife and children died. The cause of death will never be clear and will always be shrouded in mystery," Fushe added.

"Oh, I saw..." Xu Lu replied. This had nothing to do with her, and Xu Lu felt confused.

At this time, Xiao Liu had already called a car.

“I have to go, Auntie, I have a plane to catch. Goodbye,” Lulu said.

Seeing Xu Lu leave, Mrs. Xie said loudly: "Hey, remember what I told you?"

She got in the car, and Xiao Liu smiled and said, “Miss, you are a smart person. How can you not understand what the lady said? She wants you to marry her son and stay away from the Grant family. If you really marry into that family, you are just asking for trouble.”

"Ah?" Xu Lu replied expressionlessly, then laughed out loud.

Mrs. Xie hinted that she would marry her son and reject the Grant family.

At that moment she thought of Zhen Ting. She had not spoken to him since that night.

...

Mrs. Xie returned to her car, feeling frustrated. She had to call her son.

She called her son four or five times before he finally answered her call.

"Mom, what's wrong? I'm busy," said Xie Zhenting.

She got angry when she heard her son's mediocre answer.

"You're always busy. That's all you say. Busy. Busy. You're too busy to care if I'm dead. God knows where you are right now. You know, if it weren't for me today... you'd be dead by now. Busy. Humph."

Hearing his mother's words, he thought of Xu Lu. He asked, "What do you mean...Mom?"

Mrs. Xie was amused when she heard her son's question. "What do I mean? While you're still busy at work, your woman will be snatched away by someone else!"

After hearing what his mother said, Xie Zhenting turned pale. “Mom, are you talking about Xu Lu?”

Mrs. Xie was very disappointed with her son, so she sent him a photo of Xu Lu and Grant welcoming each other, which she had secretly taken.

After seeing the photo, Xie Zhenting almost dropped his phone on the ground.

“Xu Lu, you idiot! I’ve been doing everything I could for you, but you’re a good girl, aren’t you? How dare you flirt with Grant behind my back? I can’t even…” Xie Zhenting yelled, his anger burning in him.

Nowhere is safe around this woman.

He focused too much attention on Jin Xuechuan, creating an opportunity for Grant to make a move on her.

"Mom, have you seen Xu Lu?" he asked his mother in a calm but cold tone.

"Yes, I do..." Mrs. Xie replied.

"Did you talk to her?" Xie Zhenting added.

Mrs. Xie was furious with her son. She said, “Why should I tell you this? All you need to know right now is that Grant is interested in your girlfriend. Whatever you choose to do is entirely up to you.”

He felt very strange and asked his mother. “I thought you were not interested in Xu Lu and always complained about her. What changed your mind? Why are you suddenly interested in her?”

“Because I want to… humph!”

She hung up the phone immediately after saying that.

As she expected, Xie Zhenting kept calling his mother, but she kept ignoring him.

This is the mother and son - the other never answers the phone.

She ignored her son's call, saying, "Who told you to reject my call earlier? You asked for this."

However, not long after Mrs. Xie returned home, Xie Zhenting also returned home. The first sentence he said after coming in was. “Mom…”

Mrs. Xie glared at him and said, "Hey, if I don't mention her name, I mean Xu Lu, you won't go home, right?"

Mrs. Xie instinctively wanted to call her a goblin, but she changed her mind.

Xie Zhenting had been holding her shoulders and could only look at his mother with a strange expression. "You always call her a goblin, but just now you called her by her name. Why?" he asked.

Mrs. Xie rubbed her head nervously and said, "Really?"

Xie Zhenting glared at his mother: "Mom, tell me the truth. What did you say to Lulu?"

"Nothing," Mrs. Xie said, avoiding eye contact with her son.

He sat next to Mrs. Xie, hugged her shoulders tightly and said, "Mom, you really can't lie. Come on, you won't hide this from your son, right?"

Mrs. Xie got rid of Xie Zhenting and was furious with him. “I won’t tell you. Stop meddling in other people’s business. Besides, just when Grant was talking to her, I pulled her out and told her you wanted to have lunch with us. I saw his reaction, and he turned pale. Now look at me, an old lady lying to a young man for you…”

Upon hearing this, Xie Zhenting had a huge smile on his face. He replied, "Mom, you finally came to your senses. You helped me a lot. Mom, you finally stopped destroying me."

“When did I start destroying your children?” Mrs. Xie retorted.

"Who told Xu Lu that I would do nothing?" he said.

“I…I…didn’t lie. You couldn’t do anything when you were a kid,” Mrs. Xie replied nervously.

Hearing his mother's answer, Xie Zhenting sighed. "Come on, Mom, I'm your son, and a little white lie can help me. Despite my many shortcomings. Especially when I want that girl."

Mrs. Xie rolled her eyes. “Look at you, apart from your appearance and money, what other qualities do you have? I have no other choice.”

After hearing these words, Xie Zhenting returned to the sofa because there was no way to continue this conversation.

Zhenting has been feeling depressed recently. He hasn't been home for several days since he slept with Xu Lu.

He couldn't sleep at night and drank in the pavilion. His alcohol tolerance at that moment was very ironic. Many people around him were already drunk, but no matter how much he drank, he remained sober.

He has no way to vent his frustration, so he drowns himself in work. However, the very unfortunate Jin Xuechuan comes along and gives him an outlet for his emotions.

He hasn't looked for Xu Lu recently, nor has he thought about her.

He felt that he might as well obey Xu Lu completely. He used to think that he was too unmanly to take the initiative to find her.

This time, he felt different and would never do it again.

Xu Lu's words to him kept coming back to his mind. She had said, "I don't mind satisfying your sexual needs. However, if you're looking for something more serious, then I'm not interested!"

Xie Zhenting thought to himself that this was just right for him.

Just focus on his sexual needs without any emotional baggage. That's what he wants after all.

Yet, even though he tried to convince himself that he could accept it, he still felt deeply conflicted. His mind kept reminding him that he needed more.

After several days of deep thought and self-reflection, he became increasingly unsure of what he really wanted. He was confused about where he would ultimately stand in this very complicated relationship.
