Chapter 139: Scary woman

After the assistant returned to the office, he told Lu Xiangdong everything that Yan Zimo had said.

Lu Xiangdong was so angry that he slammed the table. "Mianmian didn't agree with that kid, right?"

"She didn't take a fancy to him." The assistant proudly handed some document over to him to sign.

He signed his name with a flourish. He raised his eyebrows.

"What is she doing at home now?"

"I just sent her home to rest. She is probably tidying up the house now." The assistant's gaze was a little evasive. He picked up the documents that he had signed and tried to think of a way out.

Lu Xiangdong threw the pen away and shouted, "Did you burn down the house?"

"Not yet. Some of your things have been cleared out to be towed away or sold. " The assistant quickly fled out of the room and closed the door behind him.

Some of his things? What on earth did this woman want to sell his things for?

When Lu Xiangdong came home from work, he noticed that the garden had been neatly trimmed. Even the road had been washed with water. What was she doing?

"Su Mianmian!" He threw his briefcase on the sofa and called upstairs.

The servant quickly walked downstairs. "Young master, you're back. Madam is reading upstairs."

"Reading? What's going on outside the yard?" He pointed to the garden.

The servant quickly replied, "Oh, madam said that it would be good to clean the yard."

"A van came to the house? All my things have been sold?" He loosened his tie and turned to look at the servant.

"Some things have been sold, but not all of them were yours. Young madam has sold some of her own things."

"Is that so?" he muttered to himself.

"You're back?" Su Mianmian stood at the stairway, wearing cartoon pajamas. Then, she slowly walked towards him while holding the rails.

"I heard from the servants that you sold my things?"

"Um... yes." She picked up an orange from the coffee table, opened it, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"What are you selling! I don't remember having anything to sell." He took a bite of the orange.

"How's the orange? Is it sweet?" she asked him with a smile.

He nodded.

"Where did you buy this orange?"

"I bought it by selling your vase." She sat down on the sofa and turned on the TV.

He almost choked on the orange.

"You traded my vase for an orange? Are you crazy? Do you know how much it costs? How much is this orange?"

"I saw that the vase looked a little old, so I wanted to sell it and buy you a new one." She blinked innocently.

Lu Xiangdong pointed at her and sighed.

"Where's the new vase you bought? I'll go take a look."

"It's upstairs."

As he walked over to the stairs, he spotted a servant carrying a potted plant. He stopped the servant and looked at him angrily.

"Who told you to put the potted plant in the living room? Move it back out."

The servant froze and said awkwardly, "Madam asked me to move it in."

Su Mianmian put down the remote control and looked at him. "What's wrong? The potted plant looks really good, so I asked for it to be moved in here. Why are you so angry?"

He steadied his mind and asked the servant to set up the living room.

"This plant needs to be placed outside to grow. It will wither and die in the living room. If you want to set it up here, then go ahead."

Seeing that the servant was about to put the plant down, she quickly stopped him. "There's no need to put it there. Take it out."

The servant nodded and moved the plant out again.

She put down the remote control and walked up to him. "Lu Xiangdong, are you upset about Qi Chuyan?"

He wasn't upset about Qi Chuyan, he was just a little worried. After all, Qi Chuyan had always liked him. She might not like him anymore if he asked her to marry a divorced man.

"It's nothing. Don't worry about it." He smiled and tried to look relaxed.

Su Mianmian knew that he must be worried about Qi Chuyan. Otherwise, he wouldn't look so troubled.

"It's good that you're okay. Today, I went to Yan Zimo's place so he could take a look at my heart. He said that he would let me go again in a few days. I guess he found a way to treat it."

He held her hand and shook it gently. "As long as I can keep you safe, I'm willing to sacrifice anything, including this child."

She reached out to cover his mouth, and told him to not say such things.

He pulled her hand down and gently hugged her from behind. He had two loves now, her and the baby, and he felt the happiest he'd ever been.

The moment Qi Chuyan walked downstairs, she was blocked by someone. She looked up to see Liao Xing. She raised her bag and swung it at his face.

Liao Xing grabbed her wrist and took the bag away from her hand.

"Chuyan, let's talk."

"Let go, please show some respect. We are in the office." Qi Chuyan pushed him away.

He grabbed her hand and dragged her to his car. He opened the car door and stuffed her inside.

"What are you doing? Liao Xing, you better not provoke me because I will tell Lu Xiangdong to kill you!" Qi Chuyan yelled at him.

Liao Xing smiled. "He won't kill me."

"What did you say?''

He lifted her chin and smiled. "Not only will he not kill me, but he is also very happy for us to be together. Do you understand?"

"Impossible. He would not do that. You are spreading rumors. I won't believe you." She slapped his hand away.

"It's your honor to have fallen for me. Now, I will bring you to see my daughter. Behave yourself later." He held her hand and refused to let go.

Qi Chuyan felt annoyed by his pestering. Did she have to go?

"Get lost. I won't see your daughter. Even if you threatened to kill me, I wouldn't see her." She pushed him away, but he pressed her against the car door. He grabbed her neck and threatened her.

"Don't assume that I wouldn't kill you. If you talk to me like this again, I'll really kill you."

Qi Chuyan slapped his hand. She couldn't breathe anymore. She was more afraid of death than seeing his daughter, so when she couldn't breathe anymore, she nodded.

"I'll go- go see your daughter. Let go."

He let go. Qi Chuyan held her neck and gasped for breath. Then, she looked up at him with hatred. She wouldn't admit defeat so easily.

Liao Xing stepped on the accelerator.

When they reached the hospital entrance, Liao Xing pulled her out of the car.

"Let's go."

She stumbled in her high heels and turned to glare at him. "I can walk on my own."

Liao Xing frowned and looked at her. "I'll wait outside the door. You can go in and talk to my daughter. Tell her you're her stepmother now."

Qi Chuyan felt wronged. She was so young. Why should she be her stepmother? She was not her biological daughter.

"Don't worry. I'll definitely make your daughter fall in love with me." Qi Chuyan pursed her lips.

"Let's go." He walked forward thoughtfully. Qi Chuyan took off her high heels and held them. She wanted to smash the back of his head with them. When he turned around, she quickly hugged the high heels in her arms and looked away.

"Hurry up, what are you dawdling for?"

Qi Chuyan jogged a few steps ahead to catch up with him.

Liao Xing stopped outside his daughter's ward and signaled for her to enter.

Qi Chuyan pushed her hair back, put on her high heels, and opened the door.

"Who are you?" Liao Xiaoying turned her head to look at Qi Chuyan.

Qi Chuyan walked towards her with a cold face. "It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is-"

"What is it?" Liao Xiaoying interrupted, confused.

She raised her hand and slapped Liao Xiaoying in the face. She sneered and said, "What's important is that I hate your father. I hate him."

"What do you want to do?" Liao Xiaoying covered her face. Hot tears rolled down her cheeks. She shrank back. Who was this woman? Why did she have to be so cruel to her?

Qi Chuyan sat on the bed and grabbed her feet. She pulled her over and reached out to pull her hair. "When your father comes in later, you'd better cover your face and not let him see it. If your father sees that you're injured, he'll take it out on me. If I'm abused by him, I'll make an example of you."

Liao Xiaoying nodded desperately.

"If your father asks if you like me, just say that you don't like me and ask him to find another woman to be your stepmother. Understand?" She caressed Liao Xiaoying's cheek. She noticed her shrink away when she did this. She knew that her goal had been achieved. This little girl was still obedient. If it were any other little girl, she would definitely for help. But she didn't.

"I know what to do. I won't let my father marry you," Liao Xiaoying choked.

"Good girl, wipe your tears. If your father sees, he will definitely be worried," Qi Chuyan said coldly with her back to her.
