Ah?! Li Yang felt his mind go blank, he couldn't react to what the words meant in that moment, he froze on the spot.

"You didn't bring it?!" His cold gaze fell on her. "Go get it now."

"Yes, yes." Li Yang snapped out of his daze and quickly said.

"Bring the account book with you and come with me." With that, he stepped out of the room and prepared to leave.

Lu Qimu had always been like this. He spoke in a concise manner, as if a single sentence from him would kill her. She didn't even have the time to analyze the meaning of his words.

Lu Qimu seemed to be walking at a leisurely pace, but in fact, he was walking very fast. The reason was probably because of the length of her legs, so she had to jog to catch up.

"Sir, Miss Li, good morning." Along the way, maids kept greeting them. Lu Chi Mo's face was cold, and he did not even look at them, let alone respond to them.

These few days, Li Yang had gotten familiar with everyone. She followed closely behind Lu Qimu as she gave a slight nod of her head in response.

There was a sea of flowers in the backyard of the villa, so Lu Qimu had hired some professional management staff to take care of it. Therefore, all kinds of flowers bloomed brilliantly, and every day, the maid would go to the garden to pick some fresh flowers and change every room in the villa.

Li Yang had never thought that Lu Qimu, such a cold and aloof person, would actually like flowers. He felt this was inconceivable.

Lu Qimu drove himself today without a driver.

Seeing that Lu Qimu had already entered the driver's seat, Li Lang hesitated for a second before following into the front passenger seat.

Lu Qimu didn't drive for a long time. Li Yang looked at his unusually handsome yet cold face. His palms were actually soaked with sweat. It turned out that she was still subconsciously afraid of him.

After a long while, he finally opened his mouth. "What? Do you need me to buckle up your seat belt?"

Only now did Li Yang know that Lu Qimu had been waiting so long for her to buckle up, so he quickly put on his seat belt and lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong. He nervously pinched the corner of his skirt, "S-sorry."

Lu Qimu ignored her. He started the engine, stepped on the gas pedal and drove away from the villa.

Along the way, Lu Qimu didn't say a word, and Li Yang didn't dare to speak. The atmosphere in the car was so low that Li Yang could almost hear his own heartbeat. "Dong, dong, dong, dong …"

It was only when the car stopped at the Civil Affairs Bureau's parking lot that Li Yang seemed to realize why Lu Qimu had asked her to bring an account book with her.

Lu Qimu really wanted to marry her.

What he had said to her that day was all true. He had paid a billion dollars in loans for her family and had hired a specialist to operate on her mother. Now it was time for her to fulfill her promise and marry him.

Li Yang and Lu Qimu stepped into the Civil Affairs Bureau. The surrounding people immediately greeted them and bowed respectfully to the two rows of people, "Hello, Mr. Lu! "Hello, Miss Li!"

Li Yang inwardly sighed with admiration at how grand the show was. The Lu family's position in B City was indeed not something an ordinary rich family could compare with.

"Mister Lu!" Someone came up to them, and Li Yang looked over. The man was dressed in a suit, and his hair was combed neatly.

"Everything has been arranged, please come this way." Liu Hua bent down respectfully and made a gesture of invitation towards them.

"You've worked hard."

Even though his tone was cold, Liu Hua still felt flattered.

In the whole industry, no one knew Lu Chi Mo's character. It was difficult for people with high statuses to even see him, not to mention having Lu Chi Mo speak to you. It was even harder than the blue of the sky.

But today, this noble man had actually told him that he had worked hard!

Liu Hua was elated to the point of bursting out into laughter, "It's not hard, it's not hard! As long as it's something that Mr. Lu has asked us to do, we will definitely do it properly for you. "

Today's civil affairs office was completely empty except for a few important staff members. She and Lu Qimu had quickly completed the necessary procedures, and the moment the steel seal was pressed down, Li Yang's mind went blank.

She didn't even know how she had left the Civil Affairs Bureau together with Lu Qimu. Ever since she had gotten her marriage certificate, she had been in a trance.

It was only when Lu Qimu had tossed her a "You go home first" that he drove off.

The cool body of the Bugatti Wyron soon disappeared from the Civil Affairs Bureau. Li Lang mechanically reached into his bag and took out a small notebook. The red color was very festive, and the two large golden words jumped into his view at the first moment.

Marriage certificate?! And so she married, confused, without warning.

Her slender white fingers flipped open the marriage certificate, and on it were two photos. Lu Qimu looked really good in the mirror, even with his impeccably handsome face devoid of any expression of joy.

Li Yang looked at the face of the two of them framed in the same photo and had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

She and Lu Qimu were already legally recognized as husband and wife.

Li Yang didn't know why Lu Qimu had paid such a huge price to marry her. It wasn't until later that she finally understood that Lu Qimu didn't want her.

She was just a double.

Li Yang did not return to Lu Qimu's villa after leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau. Instead, he took a taxi to the Ginza Lan Hospital.

His mother, Su Ting, had finished her surgery several days ago, but this was the first time Li Yang had come to see her. She was lying asleep on the bed, and although her face was still very thin, it was already much better than what she had seen before.

It was all thanks to Uncle Ji's meticulous care.

Li Yang sat in front of the sickbed and held his mother's hand, his voice choked with sobs, "Mother …" It's a good thing you're fine... "Otherwise, Pang'er really won't be able to live …"

When Li Yang was young, his parents had been busy with business and did not have the time to care about him. Sometimes, she would not see them once every two to three months, the other children would have their parents take care of them, while the other children would have the chance to act coquettishly around their parents, but she did not.

Li Yang envied the other children. She also wanted to have a father's love and a woman's love, so she was more obedient and diligent in her studies in order to get better grades and become the pride of her parents. This way, they would spend more time with her and spend more time with her.

However, the family business grew bigger and bigger, and her parents became busier and busier. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get her parents' attention back.

Until one time, when she returned home after receiving a notice, and her father was at home, she excitedly took out her entire year's top grade report card, wanting her father to praise her. However, her father only glanced at it and didn't say anything to her, even giving her a strange look.

She was discouraged and no longer had any motivation to study.

Later on, a classmate scolded her in front of her face that she was a wild child without any parents. In a fit of anger, she hit him and broke his teeth, causing him to bleed profusely.

The parents of the students were unwilling to forgive her, so the teacher had no choice but to call her mother and invite her to the school to deal with this matter.

That was the first time her mother had ever been to school. It was also the first time she had ever known her mother to love her so much in her heart.

Her mother touched the wound on her face and asked her what had happened. She shook her head and stubbornly refused to speak.

When his mother took out a stack of bills, the matter was settled immediately. Li Yang seemed to have finally realized something and began to act willfully and recklessly, frequently causing trouble.

Every time, her mother would come out to clean up the mess.

She had never known that her mother had a heart attack, and her mother had kept it a secret until the Li family went bankrupt.

If she had known earlier, she would never have used such extreme methods to attract her mother's attention and care.

If she had known, she definitely wouldn't have let her mother worry so much for her all these years.

"Mom …" Li Yang's eyes curved up in a smile, and a teardrop fell down on the back of his mother's hand. "Thank you for everything you've done for me all these years …"

He didn't ask Li Yang where she had gone to these past few days, nor did he ask her where the money had come from. He only comforted her, "Eldest Miss, don't worry, Madam has recovered well after the operation. It's just that she slept a little heavily after taking some medicine …"

Uncle Ji thought for a moment, then said, "Eldest Miss, there's something I don't know if I should tell you …"

"What is it?"

Uncle Ji fished out a text message and showed it to Li Yang. "Three days ago, a hundred thousand dollars appeared on my card for no reason. This is the sum I gave you previously, I don't know if it was …"

"Uncle Ji, you can keep the one hundred thousand yuan first. It might be hard for you to take care of it …"

"What should Eldest Miss say, these are all things that I should …"

When Li Yang walked out of the hospital, it was already noon.

The sun was so bright that she could barely keep her eyes open.

In Li Yang's heart, he already had a definite answer as to who sent the hundred thousand yuan.

Li Yang was very grateful to Lu Qimu on this matter. However, she didn't understand Lu Qimu in the slightest, not to mention what would happen in the future. She had to find a way to support herself.
