In the evening, Su Ci video chatted with Lu Zhe.
Lu Zhe has classes during the day and processes company documents at night. As he flips through them, he listens to the girls talking.
"Lu Zhe, I have signed up for the class's group activities, you should join in as well." When the time comes, the two classes will gather together for the activities, which is equivalent to her and Lu Zhe going on a trip. Su Ci thinks it's pretty good.
"Huh? What activity?" Lu Zhe looked up at the girl.
Su Ci lay lazily on the bed. She liked to be very close to the camera when she video chatted. Her fair and tender face almost filled the entire phone screen. Lu Zhe could clearly see her rosy and shiny lips and her long eyelashes.
"Hasn't your monitor told you yet? Your class is organizing activities with our class." Su Ci said to Lu Zhe confidently, "We are part of the class, and we should actively participate and respond to such class activities."
Lu Zhe looked at the cunning in the girl's eyes. How could he not know what she was planning
" Um."
She wanted him to participate, so he signed up.
At this moment, there was a knock on Lu Zhe's door.
Lu Zhe signaled Su Ci to wait a moment while he went to open the door.
After opening the door, Lu Zhe saw his mother holding a bowl of sugar water, and he quickly took it.
"I made you some sweet soup, come and try your mother's cooking skills." Wen Ya has been a rich lady since she was young and she doesn't know how to cook. After marrying Lu Chen, she has never been to the kitchen, but since her son came back, she started cooking.
Lu Chen was extremely jealous because he had never eaten food cooked by his wife before.
"Thank you, Mom."
Wen Ya nodded, her bright face filled with smiles. Ever since she had drawn the divination sticks at the temple, she didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but her tense heart relaxed a lot.
"Your birthday will be soon. How do you want to celebrate?" She and her husband meant to hold a banquet and have a grand celebration. When they found their son before, they only held a small family dinner, and their son had never shown his face in front of other people.
"My birthday?" Lu Zhe never knew his actual birthday.
When they were in the orphanage, the children didn’t know their birthdays. The old director wrote some auspicious dates on cards and asked everyone to draw a card. The date on the card they drew would be their birthday.
All the birthdays Lu Zhe had celebrated before were not his real birthday.
"Yes, Mom didn't tell you that your birthday is the day before Christmas." Wen Ya looked at her son lovingly.
Her son was born on Christmas Eve, and she hoped that he would live a peaceful and pain-free life.
Wen Ya felt sad when she thought that she had only celebrated her son's birthday twice since he was born.
In the blink of an eye, the baby grew taller than her.
Her son, who used to stagger when he walked, now needs to look up at him.
Wen Ya felt sad, but also glad that her son was found.
"I want to make this birthday a big one and celebrate it well for you." Wen Ya wanted to make up for what she owed her son over the years.
The heir of the Lu family should live a glorious life, and she doesn't want to let her son down at all.
Lu Zhe had no objection: "Mom, you decide."
Wen Ya laughed, "Then drink the sugar water and rest early, don't work too hard."
Her son is really hardworking. He goes to school and works at the same time. Compared with other rich and powerful young men, he is the best.
Lu Zhe nodded, "I know."
"Okay, then Mom won't bother you anymore." Wen Ya said good night to her son and left.
Wen Ya returned to the room and saw her husband sitting by the bed with a face full of resentment. "Why are you sitting here stupidly when you are still awake?"
Lu Chen had already taken a shower. He was wearing a burgundy silk pajamas, which made his handsome face look like jade.
Other men would look tacky and ugly in this red color, but this enchantress Lu Chen can handle this color.
His hair was wet and slid down his face. His peach blossom eyes seemed to be covered with mist. "Where's the sugar water?"
Wen Ya walked to the dressing table, tied up her hair, and prepared to take a bath. "Give it to my son."
"No share for me?" Lu Chen was unhappy. He raised his peach blossom eyes and looked at his wife aggrievedly, "I haven't even tasted the sweet soup you cooked."
Wen Ya took out her pajamas and said, "I only cooked a little bit. If you want to drink it, I'll add your portion next time I cook it for my son."
Lu Chen understood that he was cooking for his son as a side job.
My wife's heart is really biased.
Lu Chen was very angry.
"I just asked my son what he thinks, and he agrees that we should celebrate his birthday in a big way," Wen Ya said.
"Oh." Lu Chen responded casually. He stood up and strode towards his wife.
"What's wrong?" Wen Ya saw that his hair was wet and urged him, "Hurry up and dry your hair and go to bed."
Lu Chen casually picked up a towel beside him, stuffed it into his wife's hand, and said flatteringly: "Yaya, help me wipe it, and I will help you blow dry your hair later."
Wen Ya didn't want to pay attention to him, "You wipe it yourself, I'm going to take a shower."
Lu Chen was extremely shameless, "I'll help you take a bath, and you can help me dry my hair later."
He happily decided this, threw away the towel, and walked to the bathroom with his wife in his arms.
On the other side, Lu Zhe closed the door and walked back to the desk with the sugar water.
On the screen, Su Ci had a dazed look on her face, and was obviously bored of waiting.
Lu Zhe chuckled: "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about what gift I should prepare for you on your birthday."
She couldn’t make it to Lu Zhe’s birthday last time, but now that she knew it was his real birthday, she needed to take it seriously.
"You don't have to send a gift." Lu Zhe never received a birthday gift when he was in the orphanage, and even less when he was in the Zhao family. He even often forgot the birthday that was drawn.
Lu Zhe didn't pay much attention to these.
Su Ci didn't intend to listen to him.
... .
This Saturday.
Luo Minglu doesn't need to go to the company. Ye Xi has been having a conflict with him recently and he wants to repair their relationship with her.
He and Ye Xi met in college.
Ye Xi is beautiful, gentle, and the daughter of the Ye family. She is the goddess in the eyes of many people.
Like others, Ye Xi is also his ideal goddess and wife.
He really likes Ye Xi.
But due to the disparity in family background, in the eyes of outsiders, he and she are not a good match, and everyone thinks that he is trying to curry favor with the Ye family.
And because he wanted to be with Ye Xi, he married into the Ye family, and even his son took the surname Ye. This was a concern for his mother, and it was also something he had always been concerned about.
He was not willing to be with Luo Xiaomei before, but his mother had been clamoring for a grandson belonging to the Luo family. Ye Xi was in poor health, and he was forced to be with Luo Xiaomei by accident, and later they had another child.
Between Ye Xi and Luo Xiaomei, he would only choose Ye Xi.
Luo Minglu pulled his son, who was playing with toys, over and touched his head. "Shangjin, Daddy will take you and Mom out to play today, okay?"
When Ye Shangjin heard that his father was taking him out to play, the little guy's eyes lit up, "Okay, I want to go to the amusement park."
"We listen to mom. She decides where to go." Luo Minglu said to his son, "But mom is angry with dad now. You have to help dad persuade mom to go out with you later, okay?"
Ye Shangjin knew that his father and mother had been unhappy recently, and he wanted his parents to reconcile.
The little guy puffed out his belly and said, "Okay!"
He patted his father on the head like a little adult, "Dad, you made Mom angry, apologize and admit your mistake, and Mom will forgive you."
Just like when he secretly ate snacks from the refrigerator and was caught by his mother every time, as long as he admitted his mistake, his mother would not be angry with him and would even kiss him.
Luo Minglu picked up his son and said, "Okay, Dad will apologize to Mom."
Ye Xi came down from upstairs.
She originally planned to ask Luo Minglu when he moved out, but when she saw the child sitting in his arms, she didn't say anything.
At this time, the housekeeper came over and told Ye Xi that there was a woman with a child outside who came to her house and said she had something to talk to her about.
Ye Xi asked: "Did the other party say who she was?"
The housekeeper replied: "The woman said her last name was Luo. Miss, you will want to meet her."
Luo Minglu was so shocked that he stood up holding his son, "Let her leave."
The butler hesitated.
"Let her in." Ye Xi looked at Luo Minglu, "Let's talk things out and go sign on Monday."
"I don't agree." Luo Minglu frowned. He didn't expect Luo Xiaomei to come.
Ye Xi responded to him, "Uncle Qi, please bring the person in."
The butler retreated in response.
Luo Minglu tried to explain, "I didn't ask her to come."
Ye Xi nodded without looking at her again.
Outside, the housekeeper led the way, and Luo Xiaomei walked in from the gate, holding her son's hand.
She straightened her back and looked around, like a mistress inspecting her territory.
Luo Xiaomei held her son's hand and whispered to him, "Xiao Pei, is it beautiful here?"
Luo Zai Pei nodded, "Beautiful."
It was also the first time that Luo Xiaomei saw such a large, exquisite and beautiful house, which looked like a palace. She excitedly said to her son, "This will be your home from now on. You will live here from now on."
She heard from her mother-in-law that Ye Xi wanted to divorce Luo Minglu.
After Ye Xi moved out, she became the hostess here.
The butler was walking in front, and when he heard the woman's words, he frowned subconsciously. He didn't know where the other party got the delusion from, to actually think that the Ye family's mansion would belong to her.
Luo Xiaomei came here today specifically to demonstrate to Ye Xi. She had been wronged for so many years and had been waiting for this day.
She knew that Ye Xi was going to divorce Luo Minglu, but that night, when she asked Luo Minglu about it, he told her not to mention it again.
How could she not mention it
She also wanted Ye Xi to divorce Luo Minglu as soon as possible.
Luo Xiaomei put on some makeup and wore a newly bought tight skirt. She walked with a twisting and turning posture, looking very charming.
She was a village beauty. She was good-looking and good at speaking, which pleased Luo's mother very much. It was with Luo's mother's arrangement that she had the opportunity to be with Luo Minglu.
She is lucky, she will be the president's wife in the future.
Su Ci knew that today was Ye Xi's last day. She didn't know where Ye Xi fell down the stairs, so she could only send someone to guard near Ye's house temporarily.
If Ye Xi goes out, report immediately.
If something happened to Ye Xi in the Ye family, Su Ci had also thought of a solution.
In the car, she said to the two little guys beside her: "I will take you to Ye Shangjin's home later. You can tell him that you miss him and want to play with him. OK?"
Little Tiancai and Little Suning nodded obediently.
Although they didn't know why their sister suddenly brought them to Ye Shangjin's house, they are now good friends with Ye Shangjin and they like playing with Ye Shangjin.
Su Ci touched their little heads one by one.
"Sister, will my brother-in-law go with us to Shangjin's home?" Little Suning said in a baby voice, looking at his brother-in-law next to his sister.
"Little clever ghost." Su Ci pinched her brother's nose.
She turned around to look at Lu Zhe next to her and deliberately asked him, "Brother-in-law, do you want to go in with us?"
Lu Zhe glanced at her faintly, "Yeah."
She told him that she was going to rescue the wife of the Ye family today. Although he didn't know what happened, he was worried about her.
Even with the bodyguards around, he would rather he could be by her side in everything.
At Ye's house.
This was the first time that Luo Xiaomei stood face to face in front of Ye Xi. In the past, she could only look at the daughter of the Ye family furtively and from afar.
Luo Xiaomei raised her chin to make herself feel more confident in front of Ye Xi.
Luo Minglu glared at Luo Xiaomei who had come to the Ye family on her own initiative, "Uncle Qi, take a few workers outside to clean the garden."
He didn't want other outsiders to be laughed at in the door.
The butler looked at Ye Xi, waiting for her instructions.
Ye Xi nodded and said, "Go ahead and take Shangjin to the garden to play." She didn't want the child to know these bad things.
The housekeeper looked at the young lady worriedly, but finally obeyed Ye Xi's order, "Young Master, follow me."
After everyone had left, Luo Minglu said, "Let's go to the study and talk."
Ye Xi nodded and turned to go upstairs.
After closing the study door, Luo Minglu said to Ye Xi in front of Luo Xiaomei: "Give me some time, I will handle the matter with her. You know, we have been together for so many years, and the only person I like is you. She and I are just an accident."
Ye Xi felt a little tired.
She shook her head. "If you like me, you can have a child with her. Your son is not much younger than Shangjin."
She looked at Luo Minglu disappointedly, "This is how much you like me. If you really care about the relationship we have had for so many years, let's part ways in peace."
Ye Xi took out a divorce agreement from the drawer of the study and handed it to Luo Minglu, "Sign it."
Luo Minglu didn't expect that she had already prepared the divorce agreement.
Ye Xi has always been gentle and soft, and she loves him. She once fought against Old Man Ye for him. This is one of the reasons why Luo Minglu is so fearless.
Luo Minglu thought that if the affair between Luo Xiaomei and the child was discovered, he would admit his mistake to Ye Xi, and then send Luo Xiaomei and the child abroad, and Ye Xi would forgive him.
However, to his surprise, Ye Xi wanted to divorce him and her attitude was very firm.
Luo Minglu directly pushed away the divorce agreement in front of him, "I don't agree."
Over there, Luo Xiaomei rushed over and snatched the divorce agreement from Ye Xi's hand, "Minglu, please sign it quickly. After you sign it, you, me and our child can be together in the future."
Luo Minglu pushed Luo Xiaomei away. "Are you crazy enough? Who asked you to come to the Ye family? I've told you many times that Ye Xi and I will not get divorced."
"What are you worried about? After you divorce Ye Xi, the company will be yours, and this house will be yours too. You drive Ye Xi away, and our family will live here happily." These are the words Luo Xiaomei hears most often from her mother, and she loves to hear them.
Ye Xi, a delicate and weak young lady, was just spoiled and could not do anything. It was also a waste of money. Unlike her, she could do the housework, be filial to her mother-in-law, and take care of the children and Luo Minglu.
Now that she has finally brought the matter to Ye Xi's attention and they are getting a divorce, Luo Xiaomei will of course seize the opportunity.
Ye Xi stood aside, listening quietly to their arguing, and suddenly found it funny.
The company and the house are both the property of the Ye family. Why do they all think that as long as she and Luo Minglu divorce, these will all belong to Luo Minglu and she will be driven away
Ever since Ye Xi found out that Luo Minglu had betrayed her and had a three-year-old child, she had been doing ideological work on herself for a long time. Now, looking at the quarrel between the two people in front of her, she was left with only disappointment in Luo Minglu, and apology and guilt towards her father.
At first, she didn't listen to her father.
Ye Xi walked out, ready to leave the two of them to settle the argument.
The car stopped outside the door, Su Ci got out with the two little ones, and Lu Zhe followed beside her.
Su Ci looked at the time and saw that there were only ten minutes left.
The bodyguard reported that Ye Xi had been at the Ye family and had not gone out. Therefore, Su Ci was sure that Ye Xi had rolled down the stairs at the Ye family.
The doorman announced that there were guests at the door, and the butler hurried over. Looking at the guests in front of him, he asked, "Excuse me, how many guests..."
Su Ci replied, "I'm Su Ci. My brother and Ye Shangjin are classmates. They made an appointment to visit his house today. I'm here to send my two younger brothers over."
Ye Shangjin, who was playing in the garden, also saw Su Ci and the others. The little guy rushed over like a cannonball, "Ningning, genius, are you here to play with me?"
Ye Shangjin wanted to open the door and let his friends in, "Grandpa Qi, they are my good friends. They came to play with me. Please open the door quickly."
Su Ci looked at the time, there were still eight minutes.
The butler originally wanted to inform Ye Xi, but now that he saw that his young master did know them, he politely opened the door and let the guests in, "Let's take you two in."
"Okay, sorry for the trouble." Su Ci asked little Suning and little Tiancai to play with Ye Shangjin, "You are not allowed to fight."
"Sister, we are good children, and good children don't fight." Ningning understands much more now.
Ye Shangjin patted his chubby chest and said, "I won't bully others now."
"Okay." Su Ci looked at the time. There were still seven minutes left.
Su Ci and Lu Zhe followed the butler inside.
"Is Miss Ye the only one in the room?" Su Ci asked the housekeeper on the way.
"We have guests coming today, so you two may need to wait a while."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Are there other guests
Ye Xi rolled down from the upstairs, could it be related to the guest the housekeeper mentioned
Upstairs, Luo Minglu saw Ye Xi walking out, and he quickly chased after him.
Luo Xiaomei gritted her teeth. She was determined to make Luo Minglu and Ye Xi divorce. She signaled her son to wait for her obediently, and she ran out.
Luo Minglu chased Ye Xi to the stairs. He grabbed Ye Xi and knelt down in front of her with a "dong".
Luo Xiaomei, who had chased after them, looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief.
"Minglu, are you crazy?" Luo Xiaomei found it hard to accept that Luo Minglu actually knelt down and begged Ye Xi in order to avoid divorce.
Luo Minglu didn't even look at Luo Xiaomei. He begged Ye Xi, "I know I was wrong. I was confused. I shouldn't have done anything to let you down. Xiaoxi, for the sake of our relationship for so many years and for the sake of our child, please forgive me once. I will send Luo Xiaomei and her child abroad and they will not appear in front of you."
Luo Minglu looked at Ye Xi with a painful expression, "I don't want to divorce you."
Ye Xi looked down at her husband kneeling in front of her. The image of him that she had when she first met him in college, his wit, demeanor, diligence, and sincerity, gradually disappeared.
Her voice was soft and pleasant to the ear, but it made Luo Minglu fall into hell. "Paper stained with ink is dirty. You can't wipe it clean. You know I have a mysophobia. I don't like dirty things."
Luo Minglu's chest felt like it had been hit hard by someone. It was dull and painful, and his face looked extremely embarrassed.
Ye Xi went around Luo Ming Road and wanted to go downstairs.
The hem of her skirt brushed past Luo Minglu's side. Luo Minglu stretched out his hand, trying to grab Ye Xi, but he couldn't catch anything.
He turned around and looked at Ye Xi.
Ye Xi walked to the stairs and was about to go downstairs.
The next second, a force came from behind and knocked her down from the upstairs.
