The Bully President and the Serious Wife

Based on Xie Zhenting's reaction, Mrs. Xie knew that her foolish son was still confused about his feelings.

She reached out and patted his head gently. "Foolish boy, you only know how to sleep with women. After all these nights, haven't you realized it yet? With your temper, after sleeping with her, you didn't ruin her. Instead, you let her do what she wanted. Tell me, if you don't like her, what do you like?"

Xie Zhenting's face immediately turned red. He stood up and went upstairs.

Mrs. Xie laughed loudly.

Xie Zhenting took a few steps, turned around and asked, "Mom, do you regret marrying my dad?"

Mrs. Xie's smile faded. "Of course I regret it, but... what's the point in regretting it? I'm old now. I might as well continue living like this. It's not bad. I can do whatever I want. I've never lacked money. I feel very satisfied."

The reason why the old lady has been able to maintain this mentality for so many years is mainly due to her positive and contented attitude.

She was naive, but not stupid. If she had seemed foolish in the past, it was because she was naive.

"So, have you ever thought about divorce?"

Mrs. Xie nodded. “Of course, I’m not stupid. I wanted a divorce so badly at that time, but you clung to my legs and cried, so I had no choice but to stay.”

Xie Zhenting's mouth curled up. "Mom, I promise, I will find happiness in the future.

Mrs. Xie said, "Wait until you find a wife. With your damn temper, who would choose you?"

Xie Zhenting waited by the bed, watching Xu Lu holding her chin.

I saw her eyebrows twitching. She slowly opened her eyes.

Xie Zhenting whispered: "You woke up..."

Xu Lu woke up immediately after hearing Xie Zhenting's voice. She straightened her back quickly and asked, "How long have I been sleeping?"

“It’s still early. A little after four in the afternoon.”

"So late?" Xu Lu quickly came out of the bed.

Xie Zhenting pulled her and asked, "Where are you going?"

Xu Lu tucked her hair behind her ears. “I should go to the set.”

Xie Zhenting pushed Xu Lu down and said, "Look at yourself. You look as pale as a ghost. You can't go anywhere."

“I can’t. I have to film tonight. There’s not much left, so it should be finished this week. I can’t delay their progress.”

Seeing how determined she was, he replied helplessly, "It's not even dark yet. Why are you in such a hurry? I'll take you there after dinner."

Xu Lu nodded. "Okay!"

Xie Zhenting frowned slightly. "You are a woman. Don't be too nervous."

"I don't."

Xie Zhenting smiled.

He didn't talk about her car accident or try to comfort her because Xu Lu was not the kind of person who needed comfort.

She was like a lizard that had lost its tail. Although it hurt, she didn't need any help. She could stand up on her own.

That's the kind of person she is. She's tiny, but not weak. She's stronger than anyone, yet incredibly vulnerable at the same time.

Xie Zhenting took Xu Lu downstairs.

Mrs. Xie looked up and saw them. “You’re awake. Drink that milk.”

Xu Lu was surprised. She didn't expect Mrs. Xie to prepare a glass of milk for her.

Aunt Wu handed Xu Lu a glass of milk.

She muttered, "I haven't had milk in years."

“Drink it. I asked Aunt Wu to add sugar for you. It won’t taste weird.”

Xie Zhenting looked at the table and didn't see the second cup. He asked, "Mom, where's mine?"

Mrs. Xie scratched her head. “What about you? Aunt Wu, hand him a bottle of mineral water.”

"Mom, why do I feel like I've lost my favor?"

Mrs. Xie looked at him suspiciously. "Since when have you been favored?"

Xu Lu laughed out loud and coughed. “I’m sorry, I can’t put it on…”

Xie Zhenting saw Xu Lu finally smile. He liked to see a smile on her face.

It didn't matter what kind of smile it was—whether it was out of ruthlessness or conspiracy—as long as she smiled.

"Mom, I just praised you for being smart. Why are you suddenly making fun of me?"

Mrs. Xie shrugged. “I can’t lie, can I?”

Xie Zhenting decided to drop the topic immediately. "Mom, Xu Lu is going to film tonight."

Mrs. Xie looked at the time and found that it was almost five o'clock. She immediately stood up and said, "Oh, I'd better start making dinner. You can go after dinner."

Xu Lu felt a warmth in her heart. She was jealous because Xie Zhenting had such a mother.

She had it once, but it was lost and she could never get it back.

"I'll go to the kitchen too." Xu Lu put the milk cup in Xie Zhenting's hand.

Xie Zhenting tilted his head and looked at Xu Lu's hair. He suddenly lowered his head and kissed Xu Lu.

He licked the remaining milk from her lips with the tip of his tongue. "It tastes good."

Xu Lu blushed. In the distance, Mrs. Xie leaned against the kitchen door, peeking at them.

Her eyes met Xu Lu, and she immediately pretended nothing had happened and turned back to wash the vegetables.

Xu Lu grabbed Xie Zhenting's arm, pushed him away, and walked towards the kitchen.

Xu Lu's face was still slightly warm. She asked, "Auntie, is there anything I can help you with?"

Mrs. Xie did not refuse. "Go peel the potatoes."

She treated Xu Lu very naturally, which made Xu Lu feel as if she was part of the family.

“Oh, no, I forgot. You actresses should take care of your hands. You should wear gloves.”

“That’s not necessary. Peeling potatoes with gloves on is inconvenient.”

Mrs. Xie was surprised to see Xu Lu peeling potatoes quickly and efficiently. “You can actually do that, can you?”

Xu Lu smiled. "When I was overseas, I worked in a Chinese restaurant."

Mrs. Xie blinked in surprise.

Xu Lu has already succeeded! She believes that this type of woman - in foreign countries - is likely to go to school, go shopping, and buy clothes. Rich children are like this.

The Xu family is not poor at all, but she is working.

While eating, Xu Lu thought for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, Auntie. I... I crashed the car. The damage was quite serious. As for repaying..."

Before she finished, Mrs. Xie tapped the back of Xie Zhenting's hand with her chopsticks. "He has a lot of money. He used to be a troublemaker. He lost two Lamborghinis in an hour gambling. He nearly gave me a heart attack. I'm telling you, you don't need to worry about his money."

Xu Lu looked at Mrs. Xie in shock. She had never expected her to react like this. How could there be such a lovely person in the world?

Xie Zhenting spat out a bone, thinking that he'd better keep quiet now.

“But that car…that’s a lot of money…”

Mrs. Xie answered casually. “If there’s not enough money, let him go and earn it. He’s a man after all. If he doesn’t make money to support the family, why should I keep him around? It’s a waste to keep a son like him.”

Xie Zhenting looked up. "Mom, next month's pocket money..."

“Oh…” Mrs. Xie picked up a piece of steak, handed it to Xie Zhenting, and said with a smile: “Son, eat more. You’ve been a little thin recently.”

“…”Xie Zhenting was speechless.
