Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 413 - 426: Is There Still Any Affection Left?
The housekeeper said to Su Xingyu at that time, "Don’t worry, Madam. The items have been prepared well in advance. Mrs. Gui and I have checked them countless times over the past few days; nothing could possibly be overlooked."
But Su Xingyu still said, "Please go check them again," and mentioned several items that the housekeeper had not thought of beforehand.
The surrounding servants noticed this and had great admiration for this young madam.
In comparison, what about Zhuang Heng, who also claimed to be Lu Shifeng’s wife? Her words and actions were nothing like those of a mother!
No wonder the boss insisted on having his original wife back, even willing to disrupt a wedding to bring this young madam back to his side. She was truly much better than the later "Mrs. Lu," Zhuang Heng.
A group of people waited quietly in the hallway.
After a long time, the housekeeper hurriedly arrived, first bowing slightly to Lu Shifeng, and then said to Su Xingyu, "Madam, we’ve moved all the items that young master Jue needs to the VIP ward, and the room has been set up. Would you like to come take a look?"
Of course, Su Xingyu wanted to go.
Lu Shifeng said to her, "I’ll accompany you to take a look."
Su Xingyu stopped him, "It’s best not to leave anyone on this side of the operating room, Lu Shifeng. You stay here, just in case the doctor needs to find a parent for something."
Although Lu Shifeng really wanted to accompany her, he realized she was right, so he stayed without moving.
Su Xingyu left with the housekeeper.
Lu Shifeng watched her thin silhouette gradually fade away, his gaze slightly darkened. It suddenly occurred to him that Xingyu was leaving him in the company of the captivatingly beautiful Zhuang Heng. She seemed untroubled by the possibility of anything happening between him and Zhuang Heng, as if she was entirely disillusioned about him when it came to matters of the heart.
This realization made his heart feel as though it had been pierced by ten thousand swords.
If only he could, he wished the time could turn back to four years earlier, when his little rabbit loved him with all her heart.
If he had another chance, he surely wouldn’t hurt her again. He would unquestionably give her the best the world could offer, ensuring her warm and soft heart didn’t turn cold.
But there’s no ’if.’
In the corridor, Zhuang Heng discreetly breathed a sigh of relief.
Great, Su Xingyu was gone, and she finally had the opportunity to be alone with Lu Shifeng.
She gently moved a few steps closer to Lu Shifeng and said softly, "Shifeng, I’m so worried about our child..."
Lu Shifeng said, "Jue will definitely be fine," but offered no additional words.
Zhuang Heng felt somewhat embarrassed, trying every way to start a conversation, but Lu Shifeng was clearly distracted, unwilling to say more.
The night was very dark and very long.
Zhuang Heng was reluctant to miss this chance to make a favorable impression on Lu Shifeng; if she missed it now, who knows when she’d get another opportunity. She lowered her head, constantly pondering how she could win back Lu Shifeng’s favor. Since he appreciated Su Xingyu’s kindness toward children, she’d shatter that illusion and expose Su Xingyu’s hypocritical nature!
Zhuang Heng hatched a plan, using the excuse of going to the bathroom to make a phone call.
It took a long time before the call was picked up.
Hiding in a hidden nook in the bathroom, Zhuang Heng snapped, "Hey, Brother, why are you only answering my call now?"
"Zhuang Heng, after you’ve done this to our family, you have the nerve to call?" The eldest son of the Zhuang Family, who was still half asleep, became instantly furious upon hearing Zhuang Heng’s voice. Because of Zhuang Heng, the Zhuang Family had suffered greatly, been pushed to the brink of bankruptcy, and was now in a state of decline. The Zhuang Family was no longer the prestigious household it once was. They had sold everything they could to cover their debts, leaving them with only an old house in the urban area and a barely sustaining small factory.
Their life was now almost indistinguishable from those small individual businesses in the suburbs.
Having fallen from the heights of prestigious nobility to such a miserable state, not skinning Zhuang Heng alive was considered generous!
However, Zhuang Heng completely ignored his anger, sneering coldly, "Zhuang Songwei, if you have the guts, don’t vent at me. If you have the guts, revive the family business! At the time, taking on the arson case was a decision passed unanimously in the family meeting! Sacrificing you all is better than dragging me down with you! If I were implicated, and Lu Shifeng retaliated against us, it would truly be the end for the Zhuang Family! At least now, Lu Shifeng still considers our past and leaves the Zhuang Family a way out."
"Past considerations?" Mr. Zhuang also sneered, "It’s all over the news; Lu Shifeng preferred to disrupt a wedding and steal a woman rather than choose you! Zhuang Heng, didn’t you think you were very beautiful and charming? How come you can’t even secure one man after all these years? Was that son born in vain? A woman in your position, even if you were to throw yourself at someone, no one would want you. You’re truly despicable!"
Listening to the insults blasting through the phone, Zhuang Heng finally shed real tears this time.
Once upon a time, her brothers utterly cherished her and wouldn’t utter a harsh word to her.
But since her arson incident, where she sacrificed her family to shoulder the blame, her father and brothers all regarded her with disdain, and they utter all sorts of harsh and insulting remarks.
She was now completely alienated from everyone.
However, the more isolated she was, the more she had to take decisive action!
Clenching her teeth and disregarding everything else, she spoke to her brother in a colder tone than before: "Stop babbling, listen to me first! Right now, Lu Shifeng, Su Xingyu, and I are all in the hospital; Jue is undergoing a heart transplant surgery tonight. There’s only Mrs. Gui looking after the Lu Family’s mansion. Find a way to cause some trouble with Su Xingyu’s child, making Lu Shifeng believe Su Xingyu is not a competent mother. Meanwhile, lure her away from the hospital and back to the mansion, so she won’t interrupt my time with Lu Shifeng! Zhuang Songwei, regardless of how you feel about me, we are all on the same sinking ship. If I don’t succeed, neither will you!"
The voice on the other end cursed but did not refute her.
After a brief silence, the voice said, "Are you sure there’s only Mrs. Gui at the Lu Family’s mansion?"
"There might be some bodyguards too," Zhuang Heng murmured quickly, "But tonight they went to where Jue is; many bodyguards should have been taken along. The villa is left in a vulnerable state. I have the unregistered entry pass for that villa area in my room drawer, along with the location of several surveillance cameras. Take them and find a way in! Remember, don’t harm Su Han too severely; it’s best if he just has a headache or fever. If things become too serious, it’ll be unmanageable when Lu Shifeng investigates!"
