Chapter 088: No vomiting symptoms

"President, I think it's better for me to send a few people to investigate the victim's background. The person is not friendly. President, it's better to be careful."

Lu Xiangdong asked him to investigate. The question now was, who exactly had died? It would not be difficult to expose that woman's lie. The difficult part was how to make her surrender.

Lu Wenzhong interjected, "Let's start with that woman first. Maybe we can find clues from her."

The assistant replied, "Yes, your subordinate will go and take care of it now."

Finally, the meal was settled. Su Mianmian lifted her face from her lunch and burped.

Lu Xiangdong asked her, "Are you full? If you're not, ask for more."

She shook her head. "No need. I'm already full."

Lu Wenzhong asked curiously, "Mianmian, you didn't go to work today?"

She looked at Lu Xiangdong innocently. Her gaze was clearly saying, "Ask him."

"What's going on?" Lu Wenzhong looked at his son, puzzled.

Lu Xiangdong coughed. "When I was on a business trip, I bumped into Chengwu Su. Chengwu Su suddenly felt a little unwell. I told her to take a few days off and wait for her body to recover before going to work."

Unwell? Lu Wenzhong caught a few key words. He looked at Su Mianmian, surprised. "You're pregnant, aren't you?"

Su Mianmian almost spat out the rice she was eating. She looked at Lu Wenzhong's bright eyes again. She really wasn't pregnant.

Lu Xiangdong was also surprised. He hadn't expected Lu Wenzhong to suddenly say this.

"She's not pregnant. She has a cold and isn't feeling well," Lu Xiangdong lied awkwardly.

Lu Wenzhong was unhappy. "What's there to hide? You guys have been married for so long and have been living together for a while. Isn't it normal for you to be pregnant?"

Lu Xiangdong looked at Su Mianmian and said in a somewhat stiff tone, "This kind of thing can only happen by chance. You still have to ask her if she's pregnant."

The spearhead was pointed at Su Mianmian. Su Mianmian's face instantly turned red. Why did he ask her?

"I'm not pregnant. If I'm pregnant, I can't feel it! Look at me, I ate so much and I don't have any symptoms of vomiting. It's obvious that I'm not pregnant." Su Mianmian poured cold water on Lu Wenzhong. He was quite hoping that Su Mianmian could give birth to a fat boy for the Lu family so that she could inherit the family business in the future.

Lu Wenzhong sighed. "Mianmian, you have to know that the Lu family is Xiangdong's only child. In the future, the Lu family's property will be left to the child in your belly. So no matter what, you must add a male to the Lu family."

What was the use of saying such things to her? She can't actively decide to have a boy or a girl. They were only contracted to get married. Once the contract expired, she would leave.

Lu Xiangdong saw that her changing expression. He knew very well what she was thinking. No matter what, he would not divorce her.

They thought of the same thing. That was the contract. In order to prevent him from going back on his word, she had to find the contract that he had signed.

Su Mianmian took advantage of the fact that he was already asleep. She climbed out of bed and tiptoed around, rummaging through the cabinets. Where did he put that paper contract?

It was pitch black. She carried a flashlight as she rummaged around. She could not turn on the light and risk waking him up.

"Where did I put it? Did I put it in the bedroom?" She squatted on the ground and whispered to herself. Little did she know that Lu Xiangdong had already woken up. He deliberately did not make a sound because he wanted to see her make a fool of herself.

Su Mianmian turned around and found Lu Xiangdong standing in front of her. She was so scared that she dropped the flashlight in her hand. It fell to the ground and made a muffled sound.

Lu Xiangdong chuckled. "Looking for another contract?"

"Ah? Contract? Why would I look for a contract?" Under his gaze, she obediently crawled back into bed.

Lu Xiangdong shook his head and said, "I've already burned the contract. You won't be able to find it, so be my wife obediently. Don't even think about marrying someone else."

Su Mianmian said unhappily, "You're despicable. You actually burned the contract?"

"I have foresight. I know that we can't get a divorce, so it's useless to keep that piece of broken paper," Lu Xiangdong said indifferently.

"You haven't you asked for my opinion. What right do you have to act on your own?" Su Mianmian was angry that he hadn't discussed such an important matter with her.

Lu Xiangdong touched his chin. In truth, the contract was still there and hadn't been burned. He said this to dispel any thoughts she had of divorcing him.

"I think you have feelings for me, and you don't want to divorce me."

Su Mianmian rested her eyes and looked at him. He'd seen through her.

"Can you not read my mind? You are not a worm in my stomach. How do you know what I am thinking?"

"Yes, even if I am wrong. Chengwu Su, it is already three o'clock in the morning. Can you sleep first?" He admired her strength, but he was very sleepy.

Su Mianmian was very sleepy as well. She set her phone to vibrate beside her ear so she could sleep.

If Lu Xiangdong knew that she woke up like this, he would definitely say that she was crazy.

"Since I have to wake up early tomorrow, I won't argue with you. I'll settle the score with you later. You'd better fill in another contract. If one day I want to get a divorce, you have to divorce me. Do you hear me?" Su Mianmian turned her head and looked at him. She found him lying on the bed, she looked at his large shape. His chest rose and fell slightly, making even breathing sounds.

He hadn't heard a single word she had said!

Lu Xiangdong woke up early in the morning. Su Mianmian had to get up even if she didn't want to, because she had to go to work.

She rubbed her eyes. "Lu Xiangdong, are you really going to the funeral home?"

He nodded.

She asked worriedly, "Can I go? Why don't I go with you? I can look after you on the way."

"What are you going to do? Do you know martial arts? Or can you beat a man?"

Su Mianmian was instantly speechless. She could give him advice.

"Don't look down on me. Maybe I can help you."

After he was dressed, he turned around and said to her, "Don't make trouble. Go do your thing. You'd better not get involved in this matter."

"But-"

"Hurry up and go to work. If you're late, I'll deduct your money. I'll treat you equally." He squatted down, pinched her face, then turned around and left.

Su Mianmian rubbed where he pinched her and snorted. "You're looking down on me."

Although she was not convinced, she was more worried about his safety than she had imagined.

How could she go to work in peace if he went on an adventure?

Lu Xiangdong sat in his Land Rover. He then started the engine and called his assistant.

"I'm going to the funeral parlor in Mount Yi. Send a few people to follow me."

The assistant said worriedly, "President, I don't think it's appropriate. Let me go."

"Don't talk nonsense. I'll only do this if I'm confident. Just do your job well." Lu Xiangdong hung up.

Yesterday, the assistant investigated the details of the dead man. The man was working for that woman. He probably owed a debt and was being chased by his creditors. He had no choice but to run to that woman for help. She told him to stop Lu Wenzhong's car and gave him a reward of 500,000 yuan. However, he did not know that he'd get hit by the car and die.

The most important thing now was to expose the person behind the scenes, and that woman had played a very important role.

He was worried that the Li father and son would kill him to silence him. He had to take the woman away before they made any moves. Maybe he could even let the woman point out the Li father and son.

The car drove quickly on the street. He drove to where the woman had hinted to go: the funeral parlor in Mount Yi. He turned off the engine, lowered the window, and lifted his watch to take a look. It was exactly nine o'clock in the morning, and the woman had appeared at the door as promised.

Lu Xiangdong pushed open the car door and got out, walking towards the woman.

"You're really punctual." The woman smiled seductively, swinging her hips as she walked, "She's inside. Follow me."

Lu Xiangdong followed her into the house. He could smell danger; he knew there must be a trap waiting for him inside. He walked stealthily, like a leopard, carefully looking around.

The woman suddenly stopped, turned around, and smiled at him. "Chief Lu, she's lying there. You can bow now."

Lu Xiangdong looked in the direction the woman was pointing at. He found that it was not a corpse lying there, but a living person. A gun suddenly appeared under the white cloth and was aimed at him.

He calmly raised his eyebrows and smiled. "The resurrection of the dead is really magical."

"Chief Lu, today is the day you die." The woman stood behind the man and laughed.

"It's a little too early to say that. Maybe the one who dies today will be-" he jumped in front of the man and kicked the gun out of his hand.
