The Bully President and the Serious Wife

Xie Zhenting has always been this cold, arrogant, and ruthless person. Everyone in the industry knows it.

He doesn't care about anyone because he is a person that everyone respects.

However, in front of Xu Lu, he seemed to be a completely different person. He couldn't control it, as if he was possessed. It was completely unlike him.

Sometimes when he was alone, he would often wonder what he wanted from her? Was it just to have sex with her?

There are many beautiful women everywhere, and most of them are better than Xu Lu.

Why is he so stubborn in insisting on being with this woman?

Xie Zhenting laughed at himself. What was he really pursuing?

The next day, Xu Lu informed Miss Mei that she would not be back over the weekend.

Miss Mei gently asked, "Lulu...you've been fishing for so long. Are you ready to put your rod away?"

Xu Lu smiled. "My fish has been hooked for a long time."

The time spent on set was what Xu Lu enjoyed most and was the most peaceful. She might have been tired, but she was happy.

The happiest thing she could do was to be busy with work without any personal purpose.

The weekend arrived quickly, and at seven o'clock in the evening, Xie Zhenting arrived at Xu Lu's door.

Xu Lu thought he would fulfill his promise at the hotel, but he took her directly to a studio and threw her to a group of designers.

He ordered them to change her clothes without asking her consent.

The moment Xu Lu walked out of the dressing room, Xie Zhenting opened his mouth.

He chose the ugliest dress he could find. Why did it look so beautiful on her?

He just nodded and said, “That’s it. Let’s go.”

Xu Lu looked at her clothes, turned back to look at Xie Zhenting, and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Xie Zhenting put his arm around her shoulders and said, "My friend's sister is having her coming-of-age ceremony, and he keeps urging me to go over. You'll be my partner tonight. It'll save me a lot of problems."

Xu Lu asked: "Why do you need this? Does anyone want to introduce you to a girlfriend?"

Xie Zhenting yelled. “I’m rich and handsome. Women are lining up. Why do I need an introduction?”

Xu Lu rolled her eyes. "If everyone's crazy about you, why did you drag me here? Just touch your finger and there will be so many women fighting over this."

"Well? I'm not interested in a woman who comes at the touch of my finger."

Xu Lu smiled.

“Once you’re there, you don’t need to talk. You just need to smile. Unless you meet any rude people.”

Xu Lu nodded.

Their car stopped at a luxurious five-star hotel. Xu Lu sighed and thought: "Such a big commotion is just for the coming-of-age ceremony." "Rich people do have their own way of spending money. Who would hold a coming-of-age ceremony for an ordinary family?"

Xu Lu grabbed Xie Zhenting's arm and walked to the red carpet at the door. A life-size model of a beautiful young woman stood at the door, with the name "Grant Xius" written below. "What a beautiful name," Xu Lu thought.

In the banquet hall, the melodious music of the classical piano echoed, and the guests joked with each other. Each of them was an aristocrat from the upper class of society.

People came over to greet Xie Zhenting, but he simply nodded and said nothing.

This was extremely rude, but everyone seemed to think it was normal for him.

"This bastard certainly knows how to pretend to be a cold and arrogant image in the outside world," Xu Lu mused.

Everyone in the auditorium looked at Xu Lu silently.

Some have recognized her as the infamous movie star.

"You're here! I just asked my aunt if you were coming," a man's voice shouted from behind them.

Xu Lu was startled when she heard the sound. She instinctively grabbed Xie Zhenting's arm tightly.

He glanced at her, then turned her around forcefully.

Xu Lu racked her brains to recall the voice.

At that moment, time seemed to stop - the piano music around her gradually faded away. Only the person standing in front of her remained.

She thought she had forgotten him, but now, he was standing in front of her.

She looked into his eyes and she felt like she was back in that cold, dark, sinful place.

Xu Lu's grip slowly tightened, causing Xie Zhenting's arm to start hurting.

Seeing Xu Lu was stunned when she saw Grant, Xie Zhenting had a sour taste in his mouth.

He smiled at Grant and said, "Grant...what's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost. Is my partner that scary?"

He didn't hear a word, his eyes were only for Xu Lu. He shouted, "Monica..."

Grant couldn't believe his eyes. He had a complicated feeling in his heart, a tenderness that he dared not touch.

Xie Zhenting pinched Xu Lu. It hurt so much that she thought her finger would break.

Xu Lu regained consciousness, slowly raised her head, and her cold gaze passed through Xie Zhenting.

If she still hasn't realized the real reason why Xie Zhenting brought her here, she must be a fool!

'You're really brave.'

Xu Lu's cold eyes pierced into Xie Zhenting's heart.

Xu Lu looked at Grant's smile. "What did you call me? Have you seen me before?"

"Monica, it's really you. I know it's you. I'll never forget your face." Grant stared at Xu Lu longingly. Excited and nervous. She said she didn't recognize him.

Xu Lu kept smiling and said, "I don't know what you are talking about, sir. My name is not Monica."

Grant wanted to rush over and give her a hug, but he controlled himself. He continued to plead with her, "Monica, don't you remember me? I—"

"I don't care who you are. I don't know you." Xu Lu interrupted him. "I think this is the first time we meet. Let me introduce myself, my name is Xu Lu. Nice to meet you." Xu Lu stretched out her hand.

The joy of seeing Xu Lu was just beginning to cool.

She said she didn't know him, but he clearly remembered that the so-called Xu Lu was Monica he met in Country M.

He tried to calm himself down, and only then did he think of Xie Zhenting.

Xie Zhenting suddenly felt that he was a stranger to Grant. Did he bring Xu Lu here to show off?

Xie Zhenting knew from the beginning that she was the person Grant was looking for. Now he brought her here just to show off in front of him.

Do you still consider him a friend? He believed in Xie Zhenting. He did not use his family resources, but asked Xie Zhenting to help him.

However, the woman in his dream was now tightly in Xie Zhenting's arms.

From the initial joy, to the subsequent disappointment, and finally to the anger, he felt like his heart was on fire.

The tension between the three of them began to attract the attention of the onlookers. Everyone watched in silence.

Grant remains a rational man at heart.

Restraining his anger, he let out a standard joke through his dry throat, "I'm sorry, I must have recognized the wrong person. Let me introduce myself, my name is Grant."

He extended his hand to shake hers, but he was quickly interrupted by Xie Zhenting.

He grabbed Grant's shoulders and guided him forward.

"Let's go. I want to meet Xiu Si. I just got to her coming-of-age ceremony and I want to give her a gift."

Grant stood there and said coldly, "The gift can wait. I think the most important thing now is that we need to talk."

Xie Zhenting turned around and saw Grant's cold eyes.

At that moment, sparks of hostility flew between the two of them.

“Of course,” Xie Zhenting replied. He turned around, gave Xu Lu a kiss, and said, “Go find a place to sit, dear. Don’t wander around.”

The intimacy of the scene stung Grant. He clenched his fists in anger.

Xu Lu pushed Xie Zhenting's hand and walked away without even looking at the two people.

She was being used, but was she angry?

To be honest, she was not angry because she knew that she had used Xie Zhenting countless times. She had no right to be angry with him.

However, she hated the way Xie Zhenting pretended to be ignorant in front of her.

Being deceived and being taken advantage of are two different things.
