Five years without pregnancy means you're too weak; I remarried a powerful man and had triplets
Chapter 42 is in chaos.
Lu Zichuan's appearance was something neither Xu Zhesheng nor Shen Zhiyi had expected.
He exuded a powerful aura, seemingly nonchalant yet possessing an innate authority. Even with his eyes hidden behind sunglasses, it was clear that he wasn't in a good mood.
Upon seeing him, the manager quickly stepped forward, a fawning smile on his face: "Mr. Lu, what brings you here in person?"
He was half a head shorter than Lu Zichuan, so he could only look up at him.
Lu Zichuan didn't even lower his head, saying, "If I don't come out now, the bar will be shut down for rectification. Manager Zhang, you'd better explain what's going on!"
His tone betrayed no emotion, but Manager Zhang broke out in a cold sweat.
He hadn't known Lu Zichuan for very long, but he was one of the few people who knew his true identity.
The youngest son of the Lu family in Beijing was pampered from childhood. He had people protecting him in both the business and political circles, and represented absolute power in Beijing.
With him around, he naturally wasn't worried about the bar being shut down for rectification, but he felt like he was the one facing closure...
Manager Zhang, who had thought he would get a bonus for having a 100% male model on stage today, was about to cry. He pointed at Xu Zhesheng tremblingly and said, "President Lu, I don't know what happened. This man suddenly came out and caused trouble. These two ladies were having a good time and didn't do anything out of line, but he insisted on taking them away."
"This lady wouldn't leave, and he even tried to get violent, but our employees stopped him."
"Seeing that we outnumbered him, he resorted to threats, and I was helpless!"
As Manager Zhang introduced her, Lu Zichuan seemed to only then notice Shen Zhiyi, his gaze lingering on her for a moment before turning to Xu Zhesheng: "Director Xu, if you're here to have fun, I'm very welcome, but if you're here to cause trouble, I'll have to see you out."
Xu Zhesheng had just been forced to eat a whole table of steaks by Lu Zichuan's assistant last time, and now, looking at Lu Zichuan reminded him of that day. He had already drunk some alcohol, and his stomach was churning violently.
But he still gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Lu, I haven't offended you today."
"I'm just here to handle some family matters, please do me a favor, Mr. Lu."
"Oh?" Lu Zichuan raised an eyebrow slightly. "Family matters?"
"You mean you and this young lady are family?" He gestured with his chin towards Shen Zhiyi. "What kind of family?"
"If your identity is unknown, and I rashly allow you to take my guests away on my turf, I'm afraid no one will dare to come to our bar anymore."
What he said made a lot of sense, and Xu Zhesheng couldn't find any words to refute it for a moment.
But he wasn't mentally prepared to say in front of everyone that Shen Zhiyi was his wife.
His lips moved, but in the end he didn't say a word.
Just then, Ai Junyu, who had been searching everywhere, finally pushed through the crowd and found Xu Zhesheng, who had been missing for half a day. She anxiously exclaimed, "Zhesheng, where have you been? I haven't been able to find you for ages!"
"Hurry up, Manman called you several times just now, and she kept crying after I answered. I don't know what happened. Please call her back!"
His voice was quite loud, and with Lu Zichuan's arrival, the DJ music had stopped, making his voice particularly clear in the empty hall.
Xu Zhesheng's face stiffened, and he frantically gave his brother meaningful glances.
However, Ai Junyu didn't notice at all, and just shoved the phone in her hand into his arms: "What are you standing there for? It'll be too late if something happens to the child!"
Xu Zhesheng stared helplessly at his friend, feeling that he was having the worst luck today. How could he have such a brother?
Lu Zichuan, standing opposite him, smiled even more broadly. "It seems Director Xu won't be able to take anyone away today. After all, you still have someone waiting for you at home."
Upon hearing the voice, Ai Junyu was stunned for a moment. He turned around and saw Lu Zichuan, and his scalp tingled.
What is he doing here?
To his even greater surprise, Shen Zhiyi was standing right next to Lu Zichuan.
Her outfit was absolutely stunning. Even though he knew she was beautiful back in college, he was still amazed by her appearance.
Moreover, her makeup today was wild yet reserved, alluring yet with a touch of aloofness due to her own temperament. Therefore, even though he saw such a beauty in the private room just now, he didn't recognize her at first.
Suddenly, Ai Junyu understood what Xu Zhesheng meant by frantically giving him meaningful glances.
The smile on his face froze instantly.
"Sister-in-law... Sister-in-law... What are you doing here?"
He stammered, his face, already flushed from drinking, now even redder under the colored lights, making his already thin face, which resembled that of a monkey, look even thinner.
Shen Zhiyi and Ai Junyu were fairly familiar with each other.
He was Xu Zhesheng's best friend, and he was their best man back then.
Over the years, he would come to visit whenever he had free time, but in the last six months or so, she had hardly seen him at all.
She had invited him to her home when they were still friends on social media, but he always made excuses about being busy.
She had initially thought he had finally realized the importance of his career and was busy with it, but now, listening to his words, she realized that it wasn't that he didn't want to come; he knew about Su Manman's situation and simply didn't dare to see her.
Just like now, he realized he had let something slip, his eyes darting around nervously, but he didn't dare to meet her gaze at all.
But Shen Zhiyi wasn't angry.
She just found it strange that even Xu Zhesheng's brother didn't know how to face her. Why was it that during the six months that Su Manman was pregnant, Xu Zhesheng was able to act as usual and not feel guilty at all?
Even when she exposed his lies, he was able to face it calmly.
Shen Zhiyi was somewhat impressed by his mental fortitude.
His phone lit up again. Shen Zhiyi glanced at it and saw that it was that heart-shaped contact name again.
A smile played on her lips as she said understandingly, "Go find her quickly. Don't blame me if something happens later. Director Xu, please be extra careful this time, so that no one takes any photos or videos of you."
She deliberately emphasized the words "photos and videos," the deeper meaning of which is self-evident.
Xu Zhesheng's eyes flickered. He took the phone, thought for a moment, and then pressed the reject button. He looked at Shen Zhiyi and said, "Come home with me first. We'll talk about the rest later."
But before he could finish speaking, his phone, which had just been switched off, lit up again, as if she would keep calling him if he didn't answer.
Tan Gui also caught a glimpse of the contact name on Xu Zhesheng's phone, and felt so disgusted she wanted to vomit. She patted her chest and said, "Director Xu, if you have something to do, hurry up and get on with it. Don't get in the way!"
Xu Zhesheng seemed to be pricked by a needle, and abruptly withdrew his gaze from Shen Zhiyi, subconsciously glancing behind her.
There, Su Hang was huddled in the gaps between the male models' human wall, his wet eyes gazing at him expectantly.
That look in his eyes was exactly like the way Su Manman always looked at him.
My phone suddenly got much hotter.
