Chapter 83 - Do You Dare to Attend as Mrs. Lu?

His “support” made Ning Qing feel warm and fluffy inside. Actually, when he wasn’t bullying her, he was really good to her.

“Shaoming, it was all thanks to Luo Xi who saved me in the theatre today. I heard that you and Luo Xi have a good relationship. He’s very skilled at martial arts. Where did he learn it?”

Lu Shaoming pinched the cigarette butt out in the ashtray and answered, “Luo Xi is the illegitimate son of the Ou family. His mother gave birth to him and died of a massive hemorrhage. At that time, his midwife placed him in the river and allowed him to drift along in a small barrel. Finally, he was rescued by an eminent monk in the temple and grew up in the temple.”

“But when he was eight years old, the temple was massacred by a group of robbers. He watched as the monk who was his teacher, who treated him like a father, die in a pool of blood. From then on, he never spoke again. He was taken by traffickers, and eventually ran out and hid deep in the mountains. He lived with a wolf for 10 whole years between the ages of eight to 18 and only joined the Ou family at the age of 19.

Ning Qing was shocked that this kind of plot that would only appear on TV would actually appear on a person, Ou Luo Xi…

“At the age of 19, Luo Xi only learned about a human’s lifestyle and culture after joining the Ou family. On the surface, it seems that he is very difficult to get along with. But in fact, it’s just that he does not know how to get along with others and dares not get along with others. He is purer, simpler, and kinder than all the people in the world. If you treat him sincerely, he will treat you well.”

Ning Qing was speechless this whole time. She couldn’t imagine how Ou Luo Xi had survived through all those years. His life was too miserable and strange. He was doomed to be an outcast, and unlikely to be accepted by the world.

Ou family’s illegitimate son?

Ning Qing suddenly thought of Ou Ze. Ou Ze was Ou Luo Xi’s elder brother and the young master of the Ou family; he was probably a direct descendant.

It was said that Ou Luo Xi had entered the entertainment industry at the age of 19, but he had just joined the Ou family at the age of 19. So he had been sent out as soon as he entered the Ou family. Ning Qing could just imagine the open and secret fights between the rich families.

Poor Ou Luo Xi!

“Ning Qing,” Lu Shaoming glanced at his watch. “I have to go out later so let’s not discuss this anymore. You can go to bed before me.”

“Oh.” Ning Qing was brought back to the present. She looked at the man whose face was so handsome that it was as if some genius sculptor had sculpted him. She couldn’t bear to let him leave. “Shaoming, when will you come back?”

“Why, do you miss me?” Lu Shaoming smiled lightly.

Ning Qing’s long eyelashes fluttered a couple of times as she nodded forcefully and said, “Yep!”

Warm and tender light instantly flowed out from Lu Shaoming’s black eyes. He reached out his right hand and hooked his finger at her. “Come over and kiss me.”

How could she kiss him like that?

But Ning Qing still put her face in front of the screen, and he had also moved closer as well. Separated by a very thin screen, Ning Qing could even hear his gentle and powerful breathing.

She could imagine the healthy and charming manly scent on him.

She closed her eyes slightly and dared not stare at his perfectly angular face. She heard the man laughing on the other end, “In three days, Guang Qing will hold a dinner party. I’ll come back then. Do you dare to attend as Mrs. Lu, Guang Qing’s President’s wife then?”

His voice was soft and gentle, knocking on Ning Qing’s heart and making her tremble. She shook her head intuitively, “No! I still need more time.”

She needed time to accept his unattainable status.

“Mmm,” the man grunted lazily and sexily. “Alright, I’ll wait for you, but Qingqing, your husband is already 30 years old, and some things cannot wait. Don’t move forward like a snail crawling and make him wait for too long. He likes you, longs to have intimate contact with you, and longs to make you his.”

Ning Qing’s small face was burning. He always had reasons and could always say something like “taking” so seriously and solemnly that she couldn’t refuse it.

She remembered his tightly knitted brows that day in the dressing room, his pained expression from trying to suppress himself. Finally, he leaned against her and kissed her gently. It was clear that he was happy, but her body melted into water in his rough palms. When he trembled, she would tremble with him.

“Alright.” Ning Qing nodded. Her cherry red lips puckered a millimeter away from the screen, aiming at his beautiful thin lips with a resounding “Muah”. “Shaoming, I’ll wait for you to come back.”



Ning Qing ended the video call and returned the notebook to Zhu Rui. On her way back to her room, she passed by a ward. It happened that the door of the ward was ajar and she saw Li Meiling.

Li Meiling had fainted at the press conference and was taken to this hospital. She lay on the bed, her face pale. Ning Yao stood beside her and Ning Zhenguo asked in a low voice, “Tell me what’s going on here. Did you plot everything at the Yan Nan Road 20 years ago?”

Ning Zhenguo was asking about something that had happened more than 20 years ago, back to the time when he had been married Yue Wanqing for only two or three years. Yue Wanqing was beautiful and had a great personality. She was gentle and considerate to him. The most notable part of it all was that Yue Wanqing had entered the Ning family at the age of eight; she was his sister as well as the dream lover of his youth. After their marriage, they were full of affection and love for each other.

Yue Wanqing liked to watch opera shows and later brought Li Meiling home with her. To tell the truth, he didn’t notice Li Meiling at that time. In terms of appearance or behavior, Li Meiling could not be compared to Yue Wanqing.

Later, Li Meiling became popular. Men in the business world liked to talk about popular actresses. His friends had said that Li Meiling never accepted men’s flowers or invitations to dinner. She was an aloof goddess.

After hearing those remarks often, they made their impression. He remembered that Yue Wanqing often asked him to take Li Meiling home. Li Meiling was as gentle as a sheep in front of him. She also looked at him with a pair of beautiful and tender eyes, enticing and seducing him.

He knew that Li Meiling liked him. And his self-esteem was greatly satisfied. The goddess who was unattainable to other men loved him!

Haha.

But he never made a move. First off, after all those years, he had feelings for Yue Wanqing. Second, his mother was the decision maker in the Ning family. His mother treated Yue Wanqing like her own daughter, and he was extremely filial.

But then something had happened on Yan Nan Road.

Yan Nan Road was a shortcut that he would drive through when driving home every day. He had also drunk a little wine that night. When he drove there, he saw five or six men raping a woman.

He heard the voice of Li Meiling crying for help and got out of the car to stop it. The men ran away as soon as they saw him. Li Meiling went into his arms and cried bitterly.

They got into the car. Li Meiling held him in the dimly lit car. He was thrilled by the friction of her body against his. Her clothes had been badly torn. Her fair skin was a fatal point of attraction for him. They rolled together and broke through the last barrier of decency between them.

He saw her blood after their coupling; she had given him her first time. He felt guilty, but he would not divorce. He could only give her money as compensation.

But she had refused, and she cried as she confessed to him that she had loved him at first sight and that she would not destroy his family, as long as he was willing to be with her.

All men liked cheating and conquering, but she was also the goddess of their generation. Although Yue Wanqing was all kinds of good, she was too shy in bed. That was a great grievance of his, and Li Meiling satisfied his unquenched thirst. No one knew how slutty this aloof goddess was in bed; she could serve him comfortably from beginning to end.

Just like this, he had sunk into her gentleness and indulged in it for 20 years.

“Zhenguo, I did plot that night, but I didn’t hurt anyone. I just liked you. When I first saw your handsome and magnificent figure, I fell deeply in love with you. I couldn’t extricate myself. I just wanted to get you. Have you forgotten how many men were pursuing me at that time, but I just wanted to be your woman,” Li Meiling sobbed.

Ning Qing stood by the door. She saw Ning Zhenguo’s expression calm down quickly. She sneered. Li Meiling really understood Ning Zhenguo. Every sentence greatly satisfied his ego.

Ning Zhenguo probably took it as his greatest pride that the goddess of a generation had worked so hard to sleep with him.

“But Meiling, you can’t deceive me. I’ve watched the videos from today’s conference. For the past twenty years, you’ve said that you wouldn’t destroy my family, that you would just stay with me silently. Did you trick me and Wanqing from the very beginning?”

Li Meiling’s expression turned into one of shock. She shook her head in denial and cried out, “Zhenguo, others can say that about me but how can you misunderstand me? Can’t you feel the love I have for you after all these years?”

“For all my time with you, when did I ever covet a title? No matter how much Yao Yao had wanted to call you father, I would not allow her to do so. I accompanied you to entertain clients and helped you with the company and shared your worries. I gave you the best years that a woman has to offer. If sister had not pushed Grandma down the stairs three years ago, you would not have divorced her or married me. How could it be my fault now?”

Ning Zhenguo could not refute.

Ning Qing understood now; if Grandma hadn’t rolled down the stairs three years ago, her “father” probably still would have wanted to possess both family and beauty. He wanted to win the Grand Slam of life.

Unfortunately, when men enjoyed the pleasures of cheating, no beauty would be willing to hide in the dark corner forever. They would eventually want to usurp the wife.

At this time Ning Yao noticed Ning Qing standing by the door. She called out, “Sister…”

Ning Qing did not hide after she had been discovered. She opened the door generously and appeared in front of the three people.

When Li Meiling saw Ning Qing, she quickly said, “Zhenguo, I know it was my fault 20 years ago, but Qingqing was too ruthless at the press conference today. She made you lose so much face.”

Ning Zhenguo’s gaze on Ning Qing was instantly unfriendly.

Ning Qing leaned lazily against the door. Her entire body was bathed in the light of the corridor and appeared a little cold. “Oh, face? Where is your face?”

“Ning Qing!” Ning Zhenguo was furious that his daughter was mocking him.

A small smile formed at the corners of Ning Qing’s lips as she crossed her two slender arms in front of her chest. She shrugged her shoulders indifferently.

She was not always in the mood to play with others. Since Ning Zhenguo had pushed her to that pervert a month ago, he was nothing in her eyes.

“Zhenguo, look at her attitude…” Li Meiling took this opportunity to add fuel to the fire.

“Enough! Everyone stop talking!” Ning Zhenguo interrupted Li Meiling.

Li Meiling shut up.

Ning Zhenguo looked at Ning Qing again and asked in an unfriendly tone, “Why are you here?”

“Oh, you forgot, my mother had a kidney replacement operation here. My mother was hospitalized. I’m here to accompany her.”

Ning Zhenguo was very dissatisfied with Ning Qing’s “you forgot”, but when he heard “kidney replacement operation”, an echo of guilt and tenderness flashed across his face, but that vanished after a split second. “Your mother’s operation is a lesson from God. Your grandmother treated her like her own daughter. How could she push her down the stairs so viciously?”

After three years, Ning Zhenguo would still clench his fists when he talked about this topic.

Ning Qing did not react. As she began to move, she laughed as she said, “My mother had tried to borrow money from you for her operation, but you didn’t give her anything. Despite this, the operation went smoothly. Is this not a sign from heaven that my mother didn’t push grandmother down the stairs?”

“You!” Ning Zhenguo was silent. He expression changed and asked, “Why did the man I introduced to you last month disappear? This man is a business partner of mine. Although he had been married two times, he’s rich and has a good personality. You would be a young madam if you had married him. Why didn’t you try to get along with him?”

Ning Qing really wanted to laugh, so she did. “Hah, don’t you know? After you answered the phone and left that day, your business partner tried to rape me. He’s in prison now.”

“What?” Ning Zhenguo was shocked. He hadn’t known anything about it. He turned around and looked at Li Meiling. “Tell me what happened. Didn’t you vouch for that man’s character?”

Li Meiling didn’t expect Ning Qing to exposed everything. That man was useless too. He couldn’t even rape a 21-year-old girl, that useless waste!

“Zhenguo, why are you blaming me again? You met him yourself and approved of him as well.” Li Meiling acted innocent.

Ning Zhenguo pursed his lips together. That night, Li Meiling had tried her best to serve him. He was drunk and dizzy, so he couldn’t really judge the man. That said, he had been negligent.

Then Ning Zhenguo’s secretary came over and said, “Boss, Guang Qing just sent you an invitation letter welcoming you to attend Guang Qing’s dinner party in three days.”

“Guang Qing?” Both Ning Zhenguo and Li Meiling eyes shone.

“Zhenguo, is it that Guang Qing? The Guang Qing listed in the United States by Lu Shaoming, the ninth generation direct grandson of the Lu family, when he was 16-years-old? God, why would he send you an invitation? I’ll have to go with you.”

“Mom, Dad, are you talking about the Lu Corporation, the largest imperial group in the world? And the most valuable golden Bachelor in the world, Lu Shaoming? I’ve heard that he’s a magnificent man, rich as a country. I’m going too.”

Ning Qing looked at the family that was drunk on greed. If they knew that she had married Lu Shaoming, what would they think?

“Auntie Li, do you still dare to show up outside? I suggest you take a look at the news and Weibo; the internet is calling for you to get out of the entertainment industry and leave this earth. I am worried that they’ll throw stones and rotten eggs at you the moment they see you. If I were you, I would wear a shroud on my face and never take it off.”
