Chapter 197 - She Takes You As A Stand-In
Lu Shaoming let go of her and rubbed her hair. He had a hint of adoration in his eyes. “Let’s go back.”
“Alright, Shaoming, see you tomorrow.” Ning Qing planted a loud kiss on his handsome face and opened the door like a happy little bird.
Lu Shaoming looked at the girl through the open window. The girl did not leave. She smiled sweetly while waving her fair hand. “Shaoming, bye-bye.”
Lu Shaoming stepped on the accelerator.
When the Bentley vanished completely from sight, Ning Qing stretched out her hand and pinched her thigh hard. It hurts. It was really not a dream.
Lu Shaoming was willing to try to like her. Were they going to start?
Great.
…
This subtle difference in emotion was captured by Song Yajing. Song Yajing smiled calmly. “Shaoming, Ning Qing’s mother was short of money for surgery last year. She once married a rich man for money. The man was very kind to her. She was moved and fell in love with him.”
Song Yajing’s words were all true except that she did not tell Lu Shaoming that the rich man was him, because she knew that with her son’s wisdom, she would be exposed if she lied to him. This Ning Qing’s past was really messy. She was always involved with men. God help her.
She wanted Ning Qing to suffer like a fool in silence.
Ning Qing thought that she could so easily get her way in these three months?
Was it so easy for Lu Shaoming to fall in love with her again?
What a joke!
“Where is the man now?” Lu Shaoming suddenly asked.
Where?
Although Song Yajing was surprised that her son would ask this question, she was prepared. “The man died in a car accident.”
Only the dead could not be investigated.
“Alright.” Lu Shaoming nodded, and he stood up slowly. “That’s good.”
Song Yajing also stood up with him. She did not understand Lu Shaoming’s meaning. “What’s good?”
Lu Shaoming slowly lifted the corners of his lips, and his eyes were so deep and black they could not reflect a trace of emotion and light, except for a cold smile on the corners of his mouth. “That’s good means that it’s good that he died so that she can be at ease with me in the future.”
“Shaoming, you!” Song Yajing seemed to have been struck by lightning, unable to utter a word. She trembled and stretched out her finger, pointing at Lu Shaoming.
Was this still her son?
“Mom, you made three mistakes in my company, including ordering Ye Ting to lock Ning Qing in the freezer, sending someone to cut her clothes, and this Cabbage Plume formula incident. Because you are my mother, I will not pursue these three incidents, but I don’t want to see another incident. That’s it. I’m out.” Lu Shaoming turned and left.
“Shaoming, stop right there!” Song Yajing reprimanded Lu Shaoming. “You don’t even care if Ning Qing had married another man? Okay, you don’t care that Ning Qing is a second-hand product, but you should care about her purpose for getting close to you, right? That rich man looked very much like you. Ning Qing doesn’t really like you at all. She’s looking for a shadow on you. She takes you as a stand-in!”
Lu Shaoming was silent for a few seconds. “Oh, a stand-in?” He was laughing. “So be it, as long as she likes me.”
When Song Yajing heard this, she fell on the sofa. It was just over a month ago. Has he already fallen for Ning Qing again?
“Are you all right, Auntie? What’s wrong with you? Brother Ming, you…”
Lu Shaoming turned around. He looked straight at Zhou Zhilei and asked indifferently, “Zhilei, don’t you have a job now? Why are hanging around here all day?”
“I…”
“You can come here all you want. I don’t often come to this villa. My mother is really too bored; let’s just take It that you’re her goddaughter. You take good care of my mother.” Lu Shaoming walked out the front door.
Zhou Zhilei looked at the man’s ruthless back and was so angry that her teeth gritted together. She came here all the time because she wanted to please his mom and get the Lu family’s approval so that she could marry him in the future.
However, he had told her that she was doing something useless when he said, “don’t often come”, and that “goddaughter” indicated that he completely ignored her.
Why was he so cruel to her but so kind to Ning Qing?
He had refreshed her understanding of him once again.
Then Song Yajing patted Zhou Zhilei’s little hand and comforted her by saying, “Zhilei, don’t be sad. Shaoming is mesmerized by that woman. Auntie will find a way. You are the daughter-in-law of the Lu family. I will always support you.”
