Chapter 52: The Acting Talent Xu XuejiaoChapter 52: The Acting Talent Xu Xuejiao

Lu Chengwen patted Xu Xuejiao's back with a splitting headache, using the back of his hand: "Hey hey hey, wake up, it's already bright outside."

Xu Xuejiao, with messy hair, woke up with sleepy eyes: "Hmm? It's bright already?"

Lu Chengwen stood up, swaying like he had no bones, and walked out as if he was floating, muttering to himself: "Hurry up and put on your clothes. I'll ask Zhao Gang to take you out from the back door later, so as not to scare my dad and mom."

"Hey! Is this how you treat me?"

"Didn't you get drunk? Won't you contact me anymore in the future? Sigh, that's it."

Lu Chengwen walked out and went downstairs along the stairs, seeing his parents eating in the dining room.

"Oh, everyone's having breakfast?" Lu Chengwen yawned and walked over, pulling out a chair to sit down. "Aunt Xia, give me a bowl of porridge, no rice. I feel terrible, I want something light."

Lu Chengwen looked back at Aunt Xia, who remained motionless, looking embarrassed and pointing at Lu Guanghong.

Lu Chengwen looked at Lu Guanghong. "Dad, what's wrong again?"

Everyone looked at Lu Chengwen as if he were innocent.

Lu Chengwen himself didn't realize until now that there was a girl's bra hanging around his neck.

Lu Guanghong looked at Lu Chengwen. "Who did you bring home to drink last night?"

"Huh? Oh, it's... Chen Moqun."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Chen Moqun has quite a big cup size, right?"

"Huh? He's a man, does cup size matter?" Lu Chengwen laughed. "Let's eat, let's eat."

At this time, Xu Xuejiao walked out, lowering her head, looking as if she had committed a serious mistake, extremely shy, and said in a mosquito-like voice, "Hello, Uncle, Auntie."

Lu Chengwen looked back, feeling extremely frustrated. "Big sister, what are you doing! Didn't I tell you to sneak out from the back door by yourself? You made it so embarrassing for me like this?"

Lu Guanghong looked at Lu Chengwen. "Kid, are you speaking human language?"

Lu Chengwen laughed. "Dad, I drank too much. I only drank alcohol and didn't do anything else, it's different from last time, completely different."

Lu Chengwen had no guilt in his heart, so he didn't care at all, walked over and said, "Hey! Say something yourself, otherwise, they'll misunderstand again, and I won't be able to eat and will get beaten."

Xu Xuejiao raised her head, looking pitifully at Lu Chengwen.

That little expression, pitiful and touching, tearful eyes, looking scared and shy, nervous and causing sympathy:

"Yes... what Chengwen said is true, he didn't force me to drink, really, please Uncle and Aunt don't be angry, it's all my fault, I... I was wrong..."

Lu Guanghong was almost furious. "Are you even human?"

Lu Chengwen was even more furious.

"Big sister! You were so arrogant last night, are you finding it amusing now? What are you doing? Pretending to be pitiful? With your acting skills, do you want to play tricks in front of my family? Who are you pretending to be pitiful to?"

Lu Chengwen pointed his finger repeatedly at Xu Xuejiao's head. "My parents are extremely clever, will they believe your nonsense? I'm really..."

Slap!

Lu Chengwen covered his head. "Dad, why did you hit me?"

Lu Guanghong gripped the broomstick tightly, rolling up his sleeves. "Hit you? Today I'm going to beat you to death!"

Lu Chengwen quickly stepped back two steps. "Dad, do you even understand the situation before hitting someone?"

Lu Guanghong was furious. "Do I need to understand the situation before hitting you? I hit you every day, without wronging you! "

Lu's Mom also angrily said, "What's hanging on your neck?"

The family started eating together.

Lu's Mom and Lu's Dad were busy serving dishes to Xu Xuejiao.

Xu Xuejiao behaved so obediently and charmingly, so shy and endearing.

"Xuejiao, when did you two get together?"

Xu Xuejiao lowered her head. "It's... been a long time. It was when Cheng Wen was still pursuing Qingqiu."

Lu Guanghong looked at Lu Chengwen, nodding. "You're something. You were chasing Qingqiu on one side and on the other side..."

Lu Chengwen knelt on the ground, shaking his head.

[Heaven above, why do I have to die in Xu Xuejiao's hands? Isn't she the main antagonist?]

[Act! Just act! I don't believe you can keep acting without slipping up!]

Lu's Mom sighed. "Such a good girl. You know how he is, why... why would you, such a good girl, follow him?"

Xu Xuejiao said, "Actually, Cheng Wen is very kind. He's loyal to his friends and filial to his uncles and aunts. Don't judge him by appearances. Every time he's with me, he talks a lot about you."

"Him?"

"Yes." Xu Xuejiao continued, "He always talks about how Uncle Lu started from scratch, how hard he worked in his early years for just a little business, exhausting himself, which led to his poor health now. He wants me to develop more supplements and medicines suitable for Uncle Lu, hoping you'll get better soon."

"Hmph." Lu Guanghong said, "He's just trying to placate me with medicine!"

Xu Xuejiao added, "Brother Lu also said he really hopes to revitalize the Daseng Group, to earn more money and become a pride in Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu's hearts. But Uncle Lu is too successful, and he can't catch up, so he often feels useless."

Lu Guanghong felt a bit unnatural, glancing at Lu Chengwen, pretending to be dissatisfied. "Why the rush with this? Life isn't just about business. If you can live your life honorably, your mom and I would be very happy."

Xu Xuejiao said, "And also, Cheng Wen said his pursuit of Qingqiu was out of spite. He said he'll marry me."

At this point, Xu Xuejiao smiled but tears fell, her voice choked with emotion.

"In truth, I know he's lying to me, he treats me like a fool. But, which girl in love isn't a fool? So, even though I know he's lying to me, I've accepted it. I just hope..."

Xu Xuejiao struggled to control her emotions. "...I hope he can lie to me a bit more, not shatter my illusions of love too soon."

Lu's Mom covered her mouth and hurried to the kitchen to cry.

Lu Chengwen surrendered.

Completely surrendered.

Was this woman a devil!?

And with such skills!?

Lu Guanghong let out a sigh. "Misfortune upon the family, misfortune upon the family! Chengwen, when will you grow up? Huh?"

"Dad... I really have nothing to say."

"Of course, you have nothing to say! Xuejiao, don't worry, I talked to the Leng family yesterday, and their engagement with you has been canceled. I, Lu Guanghong, assure you, your marriage with Chengwen, I'll make the decision! Unless you disagree, your parents disagree. As long as you agree, even if I have to force him, I'll make this rascal marry you!"

Lu Chengwen stood up excitedly. "Dad, shouldn't we reconsider this matter?"

"Reconsider what!? It's settled. Chengwen! You're not young anymore, can't you give your parents a break? Xuejiao is such a good girl, devoted to you, loving you this much, what more do you want?"

Xu Xuejiao immediately knelt down and kowtowed. "Thank you, Dad! Dad treats Xuejiao so well!"

Lu Guanghong was overjoyed to be called Dad. "Oh, what a good child, what a good child, get up quickly, there's no need for this in the family!"

Lu Chengwen looked despairingly at the distant sky, tears streaming down his cheeks.

[I'm afraid I won't live to see Long Aotian come to kill me.]
