After leaving his father behind, the son of a prominent figure in Beijing's elite circles has g

Rong Zheng arrived at the door of the lounge, pushed it open, but the door was locked from the inside, and she could faintly hear a woman's suppressed, delicate sobs coming from inside.

It's so hot... Don't bite... It hurts...

Similar, indistinct words came from inside the room.

Rong Zheng raised her hand and knocked on the door. An annoyed shout came from inside, "Get out!"

That sound...

Why does he look like Lu Peichuan?

Rong Zheng's heart suddenly raced, her mind went blank for a moment, and she froze at the door, her hand still in the motion of knocking, frozen in mid-air.

No, today is the day to celebrate our daughter's one-month birthday. How could Lu Peichuan possibly do anything reckless on such an important day?

No, no matter what day it is, Lu Peichuan would never do anything to betray her.

She must have misheard; the person inside could not possibly be Lu Peichuan.

Rong Zheng opened the evening bag in her hand, took out her phone and dialed Lu Peichuan's number. A few seconds later, the familiar ringtone came from inside the room.

She stared incredulously at the closed door; Lu Peichuan was really inside!

The phone was still ringing, but no one answered.

The familiar melody crashed against Rong Zheng's heart like a raging storm, causing her chest to ache.

Her face turned pale, and she raised her hand to pound on the door. After only two poundings, the door suddenly opened from the inside, and Lu Peichuan appeared in her sight, looking somewhat disheveled.

His usually clean and crisp white shirt was a little disheveled, with a section of the hem tucked into his trousers hanging out, and three buttons undone at the collar, revealing his sexy collarbone.

Rong Zheng looked up. Inside the room, Su Qingya was leaning against the back of the sofa with a flushed face. Her one-shoulder evening dress was askew, and there were bright red bloodstains all over her lips, hands, and pale yellow dress, which were both ambiguous and glaring.

Her eyes were moist and slightly red, clearly from crying; she looked both pitiful and alluring.

Even a fool would know what just happened in such an ambiguous scene.

This scene was too sudden and unexpected.

Rong Zheng was momentarily stunned, her expression even somewhat blank.

Lu Peichuan grabbed Rong Zheng's wrist. "Don't make a sound. Get the family doctor here immediately."

The man gripped her wrist tightly, causing Rong Zheng's wrist to ache. It was this pain that brought Rong Zheng back to her senses, and she looked at Lu Peichuan in disbelief.

He was having an affair with Su Qingya behind her back, and he told her to keep quiet? He even made her bleed, and he told her to call a doctor for them?

Was she hallucinating, or had he gone mad?

Rong Zheng abruptly pushed Lu Peichuan away, tears welling up in her eyes without warning. She asked incredulously, "Lu Peichuan, do you know what you're saying?"

Lu Peichuan frowned. "Rong Zheng, calm down. It's not what you think."

His lowered voice was tinged with urgency and a anger that Rong Zheng couldn't understand.

Rong Zheng was so angry at his words that she laughed. Even now, it's still not what she thought, that they have to be naked and caught in bed together to count?

He also calmed her down.

How could she remain calm?

Her husband cheated on her with another woman at their daughter's one-month celebration. When she caught him in the act, he actually told her to calm down.

In that instant, Rong Zheng felt as if the sky had fallen.

Because she never imagined that Lu Peichuan would betray her, especially at this time and in this way, almost crushing her worldview.

Anger instantly consumed her reason.

A crisp slapping sound rang out in the air.

Rong Zheng belatedly realized that she had slapped Lu Peichuan across the face.

The commotion was quite large, instantly attracting a crowd of onlookers, and people continued to walk towards the banquet hall.

Lu Peichuan never expected Rong Zheng to hit him. After the disbelief in his eyes faded, a chilling and angry look appeared that was somewhat frightening.

But seeing that more and more people were gathering around him, he suppressed his emotions, grabbed Rong Zheng's hand, and was about to pull her into the room and close the door.

Inside the house, Su Qingya stumbled over, almost tripping.

Lu Peichuan immediately abandoned Rong Zheng and helped Su Qingya up.

Su Qingya looked at Rong Zheng, "Don't misunderstand, my drink was drugged, we didn't do anything..."

As she spoke, she bit her lip hard, trying her best to stay awake, and blood flowed down the corner of her mouth.

Rong Zheng was stunned, only then noticing that Su Qingya's face was abnormally red, and she seemed unsteady on her feet, swaying unsteadily.

Thanks to Su Qingya, Rong Zheng also fell under the influence of the drug once. She still vividly remembers the feeling; she was indeed in great discomfort, and even her mind was clouded.

However, Su Qingya can still recognize people, so even if it's traditional Chinese medicine, its medicinal properties shouldn't be too strong.

Could it be that she misunderstood them?

Lu Peichuan frowned at Su Qingya, "Don't bite, let go."

"Don't help me up, Rong Zheng will misunderstand." Su Qingya said, trying to push Lu Peichuan away.

"At a time like this, why are you still being stubborn?" Lu Peichuan bent down and picked up Su Qingya in his arms, looking coldly at Rong Zheng. "I'll take her to the hospital." Then, carrying Su Qingya, he walked through the crowd and strode towards the entrance of the banquet hall.

Rong Zheng watched the two figures leave, Lu Peichuan's words, "Don't bite," still echoing in her ears.

So that's what she heard at the door?

Did she really misunderstand them?

People around them began to whisper.

"So it turns out they were drugged."

"Her lips and palms are covered in blood; she probably bit them to stay awake. Mr. Lu and she are probably innocent."

"She's definitely innocent. Su Qingya already has a child, and if President Lu had any feelings for Su Qingya, he wouldn't have waited until today."

"Yes, back then, President Lu forced Su Qingya to go abroad in order to marry Rong Zheng, and also severed cooperation with the Su Group. He drew a very clear line."

"Rong Zheng even slapped President Lu! That's incredibly reckless!"

"Exactly, it's going too far to give President Lu no face at all in this kind of situation."

Rong Zheng felt both angry and aggrieved upon hearing these words.

Who could see what just happened and not misunderstand?

Still calm?

It's easy for them to talk when they're not the ones suffering.

At this moment, Bai Yuxiu walked out from the crowd, smiled at everyone, and said, "I'm sorry, there was a little hiccup. The banquet is about to begin, please move to the restaurant."

After offering a few words of flattery, everyone left.

Seeing that everyone had left, Bai Yuxiu's smile vanished instantly. She turned around, walked a few steps to Rong Zheng, and slapped her hard across the face. "You've completely disgraced the Lu family!"

Rong Zheng tilted her head to one side, her cheek burning with pain.

"How can you be so impulsive in the face of trouble? How are you fit to be the young mistress of the Lu family? You shouldn't have listened to Pei Chuan and held that belated full-month celebration for the child. He's been so protective of you and your daughter, and yet you've shown him no respect. Who do you think you're being fair to?"

Angered questions rained down on him.

Rong Zheng's hands clenched slightly at her sides, but she couldn't utter a single word, feeling like she was swallowing a bitter pill.

Lu Peichuan never returned after that.

Amidst the pointing and whispering of everyone, Rong Zheng forced herself to endure the full moon banquet, and by the time she returned to Jinsha Bay, washed up, and lay down in bed it was almost ten o'clock.

Despite all the events that had transpired tonight, at this moment, Rong Zheng could only think of Lu Peichuan carrying Su Qingya away, and the icy, chilling look in his eyes as he looked at her.
