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

Since Rong Zheng and Lu Peichuan had their argument that day, Lu Peichuan hasn't come home for three days.

It was the weekend, the day to go to the old house for dinner. Rong Zheng carried her daughter out of the villa, intending to have Uncle Chen take her there, but she saw Lu Peichuan standing outside the door.

He was wearing a crisp, clean white shirt, the sleeves casually rolled up to reveal his strong, muscular forearms, one hand in his pocket, and the other holding a cigarette to his lips.

The swirling smoke and the glow of the setting sun made his face appear even more profound and handsome.

With just one glance, Rong Zheng looked away and turned to Uncle Chen behind her, saying, "Go drive."

Uncle Chen looked at Lu Peichuan, who was walking towards them after crushing his cigarette, and stood still.

Lu Peichuan walked up to Uncle Chen, took the baby supplies from his hands, and said, "You can go back now."

Uncle Chen nodded and turned to enter the villa.

Rong Zheng frowned as she looked at Lu Peichuan.

Lu Peichuan and Rong Zheng stared at each other for a few seconds, then Lu Peichuan looked at his daughter's face, smiled and took a few steps closer, "Tangtang, did you miss your dad?" He reached out to touch his daughter's face.

Rong Zheng took a step back while holding her daughter. "There's a smell of smoke."

Lu Peichuan paused in mid-air, then withdrew his hand, his gaze falling on Rong Zheng's face. "Still angry?"

That's a question...

He made her angry, then left without a word, without calling, and didn't go home. Instead, he subjected her to emotional abuse.

Now that he's back, he hasn't mentioned a word about what happened that day, hasn't apologized, and hasn't commented on Su Qingya's situation.

So he thinks she can comfort herself?

Rong Zheng turned her head away and refused to look at him.

Lu Peichuan put his arm around Rong Zheng's waist and said gently, "Don't be angry anymore, okay?"

Rong Zheng frowned and twisted her waist, trying to break free from Lu Peichuan's hand, but the man's grip was very strong and she couldn't break free.

She frowned at him. "You smell strongly of smoke. Don't let it bother Tangtang."

Lu Peichuan frowned slightly as he looked at the coldness and resistance in Rong Zheng's eyes.

The words of my brothers from last night echoed in my ears.

"She comes from an ordinary family; she should feel incredibly fortunate to have married into the Lu family. How could she possibly have so many demands of you?"

"Everyone in the industry knows you're the most virtuous and self-disciplined, yet she's still not satisfied."

"Even if you and Su Qingya really did have something going on, so what? These days, who doesn't sleep around with women?"

"You spoil her too much. You can't spoil women, or they'll take advantage of you. Give her the cold shoulder for a few days, and I guarantee she'll behave herself."

"If they still don't listen, then they haven't been dried enough."

He had already come to pick her up and spoke to her politely, offering her a way out, but instead of taking the opportunity, she gave him the cold shoulder and a cold shoulder.

He used to like her aloof and proud personality. Everyone flattered him and fawned over him.

She alone, like a lotus flower of noble character, stood apart from the world, aloof and distant, keeping her distance from him with respect.

This aroused a strong desire in him to conquer.

But now, he finds her aloofness and pride quite unpleasant.

Not only do I never associate with his friends, but when we argue, I never back down; he's always the one who apologizes.

Perhaps he really spoiled her too much.

Lu Peichuan released Rong Zheng, his face turning cold. "Mom just called to urge us to leave. If we don't leave soon, she'll get angry." With that, he walked towards the car on the field.

Rong Zheng felt a pang of sadness as she looked at Lu Peichuan's aloof back.

Her gamble may be about to fail.

She sighed softly and followed him, deciding to have a good talk with him after dinner.

For Tangtang, and for her once passionate gamble.

Speechless all the way.

After arriving at the old house and having dinner, Lu Yunshan called Lu Peichuan to the study.

Rong Zheng asked the nanny to prepare the formula and sat on the sofa to feed Tangtang.

Bai Yuxiu sipped her tea, glancing at the child in Rong Zheng's arms. Her eyes held no trace of maternal affection, only disdain and resentment. "Did you and Pei Chuan have a fight?"

From the moment they entered the house until they started eating, the couple didn't exchange a single word, something that had never happened before.

Rong Zheng looked down at her daughter as she drank her milk, her heart softening. But when she heard Bai Yuxiu ask that question, the smile on her lips faded. "Mm."

A hint of surprise flashed across Bai Yuxiu's eyes.

Back then, she disagreed with her son marrying Rong Zheng and threatened to sever their mother-son relationship, but her son didn't compromise. The old man even used the Lu Group's inheritance authority to force him to give up, but it was no use.

He was determined to marry Rong Zheng, which infuriated her.

So, her disdain for Rong Zheng's poor background was only one reason. What angered her even more was that the son she had raised with such difficulty had abandoned his mother for another woman.

The key point is that Rong Zheng is also very proud. Even though she married into a wealthy family, she didn't humble herself in the Lu family and acted like a high and mighty Bodhisattva all day long.

Sometimes when she was angry, she would scold Rong Zheng, who would lower her head and remain silent, without any reaction. It was like punching cotton; she had nowhere to vent her anger.

She longed for the day her son would tire of Rong Zheng, but they had been married for almost a year, and her son not only didn't tire of Rong Zheng at all, but also spoiled her rotten.

She often argued with Rong Zheng because of her criticisms, and would always bring her gifts when she went on business trips, buying her jewelry, clothes, and bags in various styles.

The two of them are actually arguing now; this is truly a first for a young woman getting married.

Although Bai Yuxiu was very curious about why the two had quarreled, she wouldn't ask Rong Zheng. If she wanted to know, she could just ask someone to check later.

Now you have to act like an elder and take the opportunity to educate him, "Pei Chuan works very hard to manage the company. You can't help him, and you shouldn't make things difficult for him."

Rong Zheng looked down at her daughter drinking milk without saying a word.

Bai Yuxiu continued, "Don't think that Pei Chuan will treat you well forever. A man's heart is the most fickle thing. Your womb is useless, and you only gave him a money-losing child. If you don't keep a low profile, he might get tired of you and your daughter. Then you'll have nowhere to cry."

Rong Zheng could tolerate Bai Yuxiu talking about her, but not about her daughter.

Instead of responding directly, she took out the jade pendant she had tucked into her daughter's clothes before leaving the house.

Bai Yuxiu loves jade the most and has quite a bit of knowledge about it. When she saw the crystal clear jade pendant in Rong Zheng's hand, her eyes lit up instantly.

The next moment, as if remembering something, his face immediately fell again. "How could Pei Chuan buy such an expensive jade pendant for this little brat?"

Rong Zheng turned the jade pendant around, revealing its lifelike carvings under the light. "This is a full moon gift from my eldest brother to Tangtang."

"What?!" Bai Yuxiu's eyes widened in shock. "This was a gift from Shi Yan? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
