Chapter 071: I will not let her leave my life

Lu Wenzhong took the cup of water and medicine and looked at Su Mianmian again. He had other thoughts about this girl.

"Xiangdong, go and help me with the discharge surgery. Steward Su, stay behind and help me tidy up the bed."

Lu Xiangdong frowned. "You'd better listen to the doctor's suggestion and stay in the hospital for observation."

Lu Wenzhong had his own plans. "Go and handle it. We'll catch up later."

Su Mianmian looked at Lu Wenzhong with surprise. "Chairman Lu, actually, me and-"

Lu Xiangdong quickly interrupted her. "I'll go handle the discharge procedures. Stewardess Su, I'll leave this to you."

She opened her mouth, indicating that she actually had something to say. She couldn't hide it from Lu Wenzhong.

"Think about your situation. Don't talk nonsense," Lu Xiangdong suddenly warned her with a low voice.

Su Mianmian forced a smile.

Lu Wenzhong sized her up again and found that his son had good taste. The wife he chose could be considered a great beauty.

"Chengwu Su, you don't have to be so formal in front of me. I know that what happened before has left a hole in your heart. You hate me very much, right?" He sighed. His face was haggard, he looked sad.

Su Mianmian quickly stuttered, "No... Chairman Lu, why would I hate you? You're Captain Lu's father, and also my family. I respect you more than I should."

After saying this, Su Mianmian could not help but despise herself. She hated Lu Wenzhong, yet she still had to smile.

Lu Wenzhong appreciated her generosity, which showed how wrong she was.

"Chengwu Su, I was kept in the dark about your marriage with Xiangdong from the beginning. To be honest, I rarely interfere with my son's affairs. I silently accepted who my son chose. So, I have accepted you from the bottom of my heart."

Su Mianmian only smiled at Lu Wenzhong's words.

Could she tell him that her marriage with Lu Xiangdong was actually just a contract?

"Chairman Lu, thank you for your comforting words."

"If you and Xiangdong are truly determined to be together, make up for your marriage some other day. Don't forget to treat the guests or whatever. I wonder, how does Su Chengwu feel about it?" Lu Wenzhong suddenly turned around and asked for her opinion. She was stunned and quickly denied, "Chairman Lu, I think it's necessary to discuss this with Captain Lu."

"We're already husband and wife, Captain Lu." Lu Wenzhong chuckled.

"It's an occupational disease." Su Mianmian turned her head away and stuck out her tongue.

When Lu Xiangdong came in, they stopped talking. Lu Wenzhong got up from the bed.

Su Mianmian and Lu Xiangdong supported him from both sides and helped him out.

When Lu Wenzhong got into the car, he suddenly said to Lu Xiangdong, "Since everyone is resting today, bring your wife home for dinner. It's been a long time since you went to visit your mother."

Lu Xiangdong's eyes suddenly dimmed as he looked at Su Mianmian, as if asking for her opinion. Su Mianmian deliberately didn't look at him. 'Don't ask me, I don't know,' she thought.

"Let's have dinner together. Su Mianmian, get in the car."

Su Mianmian felt awkward. The father and son were reunited, why should an outsider like her get involved? But, she knew that if she rejected him, it would seem to be disrespectful to Captain Lu.

"Stewardess Su, come and sit next to me," Lu Wenzhong suddenly called out.

Su Mianmian pulled back her thoughts and said with a stiff smile, "Um... okay."

The assistant drove them to the Lu family's villa. It was Su Mianmian's first time here, but it was just as she had imagined: very luxurious.

Lu Wenzhong instructed the servants to prepare a few more dishes. He turned around and started to discuss the company with Lu Xiangdong. Su Mianmian ate dried fruits, uninterested in listening to the company's matters.

Lu Wenzhong instructed Lu Xiangdong to be careful.

"The father and son surnamed Li haven't come to the company to look for trouble recently?" Lu Wenzhong frowned slightly. Based on his understanding of Li Hong, it was impossible for him to be so calm.

Lu Xiangdong also felt that it was strange.

"No matter what countermeasures they have, I will think of a way to deal with them. Evil can not prevail over good." Lu Xiangdong had not met any opponents that he was afraid of.

Su Mianmian suddenly dropped her fork on the ground. She opened her mouth, surprised. The father and son surnamed Li? They were the two men who had threatened her to steal the information.

Lu Xiangdong saw her reaction. He narrowed his eyes and asked indifferently, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Maybe I'm hungry." She tried to hide the panic she felt.

Lu Wenzhong quickly asked the servants to start the meal.

Lu Xiangdong nodded as well. "Let's eat. After we eat, come with me to the ancestral hall."

Su Mianmian gathered her emotions and nodded.

The servants in the Lu family's villa cooked very delicious dishes. Su Mianmian was swept away from her previous mood and could not stop eating.

Lu Wenzhong smiled. "Stewardess Su, help yourself to anything. It's all home-cooked dishes. Don't stand on ceremony with the family."

Su Mianmian wiped the soup that was flowing down from the corner of her mouth and smiled awkwardly. "Yes, Chairman Lu."

Lu Xiangdong picked up a few dishes casually and ate very little.

Su Mianmian could not help but sneak a glance at him. To him, no matter how delicious the dishes were, they were just to fill his stomach. Su Mianmian was a foodie. She paid attention to the food's taste. As long as it was delicious, she was very happy.

"Chengwu Su, tell me about how you and Lu Wenzhong met," Lu Wenzhong said.

Su Mianmian almost spat out the soup in her mouth. She covered her mouth with her hand and looked at Lu Xiangdong.

Lu Xiangdong looked at her. The corners of his mouth curled, and his eyes hinted at her not to talk nonsense.

She put down the spoon, coughed, and smiled. "Chairman Lu, are you also interested in this kind of thing?"

"Old bones. Although I don't understand the romance of you young people, I once loved someone. That person was Xiangdong's mother." When he mentioned Wen Pei, his eyes were filled with tears. Su Mianmian saw it very clearly. He must have loved Lu Xiangdong's mother very much. He wouldn't have suddenly revealed such an emotional expression otherwise.

She smacked her lips as if to satisfy the old man's wish. "Chairman Lu, actually, the meeting between me and Xiangdong was quite funny."

Lu Xiangdong ordered her to stop talking nonsense with a stern look.

She looked at him provocatively and then held Lu Wenzhong's arm. She told him about the meeting between Lu Xiangdong and her. Some of it was true and some of it was fake.

Upon hearing how they met, Lu Wenzhong suddenly burst into laughter. "Is that so? Did the two of you meet on the plane? Did Lu Xiangdong chase after you?"

In order to make the old man laugh even more heartily, Su Mianmian nodded her head vigorously. Lu Xiangdong's face turned place. Her ability to make up stories could not be matched by anyone else.

After laughing for a while, Lu Wenzhong suddenly patted her hand and said earnestly to her, "Stewardess Su, actually, Xiangdong's journey has not been easy. He was able to become the captain all by himself. As a father, I did not do my part."

Su Mianmian's mouth twitched. Since he knew that his son was working so hard, why would he force him to work in the company? Lu Xiangdong clearly didn't like working in the company.

She held back her tongue and looked at Lu Xiangdong. She found that he was eating his food as if nothing had happened. His expression was as calm as ever.

After the meal, Lu Xiangdong led her to Wenpei's ancestral hall.

The servants prepared a basket of rich food and wine. Before they lit incense, they placed the food on the high hall.

Su Mianmian looked at the portrait hanging on the high hall and suddenly understood why Lu Xiangdong was so good-looking. He inherited his mother's looks, the typical beauty of his mother.

And his mother looked very good when she smiled.

Lu Xiangdong knelt on the cushion. "My mother died in a car accident. At that time, my father was busy managing the company and neglected my mother, resulting in the tragedy that followed."

"Oh." Su Mianmian blinked, not understanding why he was revealing this to her.

Lu Xiangdong turned his head to look at her. His thin lips parted slightly. "I won't imitate my father. Since we're married, I should be responsible for my spouse and my own marriage. So I won't let you leave my life."

Was he talking to her? Their marriage was fake! To her surprised, she had felt moved by what he said. She thought that it would be great if their marriage could be real.

"So, Su Mianmian, I won't let you fade out of my world easily." After he said that, he turned his head to look at the portrait on the high hall.

Su Mianmian was completely stunned.

"Lu Xiangdong, your purpose for doing this is to take responsibility?"

"No matter what the reason is, we are no longer connected." He raised the incense stick.

Su Mianmian carefully chewed on his words and was at a loss for a moment.

Although their marriage was fake, her feelings for him were real. She would definitely be reluctant to part with him.

"You should also speak to her." He handed her an incense stick and asked her to come and pay her respects to his mother.

Su Mianmian knelt on the cushion and thought to herself, 'Hello, Auntie. I'm Su Mianmian. It's a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for sending Lu Xiangdong to my side. Your son is very outstanding and I like him very much. I hope that he will like me as soon as possible. Your Spirit in heaven must bless us with a long and happy life.'

Lu Xiangdong had never seen her so serious before. He did not know what she had said to his mother. Su Mianmian inserted the incense into the incense burner and turned around to smile at him. "It's not easy to be the wife of a rich family. You may look glamorous on the surface, but you're actually very bitter on the inside."

He raised an eyebrow. "I see that you're glowing after eating so much! People who don't know otherwise may think that you're pregnant."

She stuck out her tongue. "I've always eaten a lot. It has nothing to do with being pregnant."

"I would know this even if you hadn't told me."
