Lu Zhou replied, "Yes."
Xu Qingyun felt extremely distressed.
But she didn't stop her, and still said considerately, "It's so late, she's going out alone, I don't know who she's going to see... I'm worried about her safety, Brother Zhou, let me go with you."
"No need." Lu Zhou briefly refused and turned to leave.
Xu Qingyun hurriedly ran downstairs and grabbed his hand. "No, Brother Zhou... I, I'm so scared being alone in the villa."
Not far away, the Lu Family's security guards and nanny looked up at her.
Are you alone in the villa?
So, we working people aren't human? TAT?
But in the end, no one said anything and they turned back to doing their own thing.
Looking at Xu Qingyun's reddened eyes, Lu Zhou ultimately couldn't bring himself to refuse.
He told her to go upstairs to change her clothes, then drove her out to find Su Mian.
Inside the car, Xu Qingyun secretly glanced at Lu Zhou's cold profile.
A deep sense of regret welled up inside me.
In fact, Lu Zhou did experience a period of poverty.
Lu Zhou's father is the founder of Starry Entertainment.
Later, as he got older, he naturally recommended his eldest son, Lu Zhou, to the board of directors.
Lu Zhou and she were childhood sweethearts and had feelings for each other.
She had always believed that the two of them would get married someday.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhou's father fell seriously ill and was hospitalized in a coma. Lu Zhou's younger brother even hid him in a place where Lu Zhou couldn't find him.
Then Lu Zhou's younger brother took out a DNA report.
This proves that Lu Zhou is not related to his father by blood and is an illegitimate child.
Lu Zhou was driven out of the Lu Family and became destitute.
Xu Qingyun still loved him very much back then.
But she couldn't go against her parents' wishes and they wouldn't allow her to marry a man of unknown origin who was unlikely to inherit the family fortune.
So they sent her abroad to study.
Not long after she left, Lu Zhou met Su Mian.
Su Mian's personality back then was completely opposite to her current one; she had the kind of virtuous wife personality described in the TV series "The Virtuous Wife Helps Me Rise to Power".
She took care of him tirelessly, shared the money she worked hard to earn, comforted and encouraged him, and only wanted to help him succeed.
The two had been together for about a month.
Lu Zhou's father woke up, and after re-verifying his DNA, Lu Zhou's identity was clarified.
It turns out that Lu Zhou is Lu's father's biological son, but his DNA was swapped by his half-brother, who framed him.
Lu Zhou then took over Starry Entertainment again.
But during the lowest point in his life, he witnessed the coldness and warmth of human nature.
He discovered that as soon as he lost his status as the eldest son of the Lu Family and his money, everyone around him would leave him.
Only Su Mian stayed by his side when he was penniless.
After he became wealthy again, he did not tell Su Mian about these things.
He continued to deceive Su Mian, testing her sincerity.
She spent all her savings to test his place in her heart, to see if he was more important than money.
Xu Qingyun felt incredibly regretful whenever she thought about it all.
He regretted listening to his parents and leaving him to go abroad.
If only she had been there for him during that month of his lowest point.
The person he can't let go of now is her.
Xu Qingyun burst into tears. " Brother Zhou, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you back then..."
Lu Zhou said softly, "It's okay, I know it was your parents who forced you. You've never been the kind of person who looks down on the poor and loves the rich, unlike Su Mian, she... never mind."
He is always willing to give Su Mian a chance.
After all, she did lend him a hand when he was at his lowest point.
As for her flaw of being a snob and materialistic person...
He believed that if he taught her properly, she would correct her mistakes sooner or later.
"It's good that you don't blame me..." Xu Qingyun lowered her head and gently curled the corners of her lips.
Although she missed a good opportunity, fortunately, Su Mian also failed his final test.
So I still have a chance.
A tree-lined path.
Su Mian walked back alone.
She has just stumbled upon a major secret about Huang Han.
Unexpectedly, Huang Han is also a law-abiding citizen.
Su Mian quickened her pace, intending to hurry back and tell the production team, lest continuing would lead to the show being taken down.
But soon, she vaguely sensed that someone was following her.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by.
Su Mian raised her hand to shield herself from the wind, but the wind still ruffled her long hair.
She looked around again, but saw nothing.
Su Mian chuckled, rubbing her forehead. "Haha, I scared myself."
After saying that, he turned and continued walking.
Suddenly, a luxury car sped up in front of her and stopped.
Lu Zhou and Xu Qingyun got out of the car and stood side by side.
Xu Qingyun asked with concern, " Su Mian, who did you go out to see so late by yourself? Brother Zhou and I are both very worried about you."
Lu Zhou's gaze was cold and deep. "Who did you go out to see?"
Su Mian: "..."
The hardest thing to defend against in this world is a zero-frame attack like that of a crazy, delusional couple.
He opened his mouth and immediately started questioning people.
What does it matter to them where she goes?
She's just doing this for fun.
For truly abstract ideas, you have to look at those two.
Su Mian was thinking about more important things for the time being and didn't intend to waste time with them. She cursed them and prepared to leave.
But Lu Zhou raised his hand to block his way.
He sighed softly, as if in resignation, and began to explain, " Su Mian, I know you're upset that I lied to you, but I had my reasons. When we were together, my brother framed me, and I truly lost everything..."
Su Mian impatiently declared, "Did I cause this? Who caused your suffering? Go get revenge on them! Go get revenge on your brother! Pretend to be poor and spend his money, get entangled with other people while dating him, Xu Qingyun him for Xu Qingyun when he needs something, lose all his money when his mother is dying and then call him a gold digger..."
Every word she uttered was a detailed recounting of all the things he had done to wrong her.
But Lu Zhou only felt anger!
He interrupted sharply, " Su Mian! Shut up!"
Su Mian refused to close her eyes, her gaze growing increasingly contemptuous. "You, born into a wealthy family, raised with a silver spoon in your mouth, taking over the company without any effort, and whose low point in life only lasted a month, still have the nerve to play the victim with me? Are you sick? I, an ordinary person from a single-parent family, who interviewed hundreds of times before finally finding a job, have nowhere else to play the victim!"
Lu Zhou remained silent for a long time.
Su Mian: "In the past, every time I forgave you, it meant I allowed you to hurt me again. But from now on, I will never allow you to hurt me again."
Su Mian walked around him, intending to leave.
But Lu Zhou was still persistent, grabbing her arm. " Su Mian, actually I had already decided that I would propose to you as long as you passed my last test. It was you who failed my test!"
Su Mian pulled her hand back. "What right do you have to test me? Only the Party and the people have the right to test me! Go back to watching 'Youth Study '!"
Lu Zhou, his eyes red, said, " Su Mian! Don't you think you've done anything wrong at all?"
"..." It's a waste of breath to reason with this kind of person.
"Yes, I was wrong. I was so focused on making money that I forgot about burying you two!"
Su Mian swept their legs, sending them both flying into the nearby green belt!
Then grab handfuls of dirt with both hands and throw them all over them!
He sprinkled it and then ran away!
