Su Ran was dumbfounded. Although Liang Ciqiu was good, Zhou Yanbai’s task for her was Lu Qingyan.
“Why…why are you doing this to me?” Su Ran immediately burst into tears.
“I’ve always considered you my brother. How am I supposed to face you now? I don’t love you at all. I have someone I love. And what about the child? Do you want him to bear the burden of a father with a murderous reputation? He’ll face discrimination in society!”
Liang Ciqiu’s face changed drastically.
The accidental killing of Mrs. Cheng was a thorn in his side.
He accepted that Su Ran had distanced herself from him because of it.
But why did she say such things to him?
For whom had he ended up in this situation?
Liang Ciqiu gritted his teeth. He really wanted to ask Su Ran if she had any conscience at all. After all the twists and turns, the person she was looking for was not the father of her child. Her original goal was Lu Qingyan.
Seeing his bad expression, Su Ran was afraid of angering him, so she softened her tone: “Brother Ciqiu, I know you are very unwilling because of your status as an illegitimate child. You are so outstanding, so why should you be second to someone else?”
“I can help you. I love Qingyan, but the child is yours. In the future, when the child inherits the Lu family, wouldn’t that be the same as your biological child getting the Lu family? Brother Ciqiu, as long as you are willing to help me, I can hand over the Lu family to you.”
Liang Ciqiu narrowed his eyes slightly, pondering the feasibility of this matter.
The idea of having his child inherit the Lu family was quite appealing. As for Su Ran, his feelings for her had been completely exhausted by her series of outrageous actions.
Liang Ciqiu sneered.
Didn’t Lu Qingyan love his fiancée very much?
He was willing to give up a contract worth hundreds of millions to go to Hong Kong. He wanted to see if his love was truly unbreakable.
If he had a relationship with another woman before this, would Jiang Nanshu still want him?
Liang Ciqiu lowered his eyes and chuckled softly, “Ran Ran, then I wish you success. I’ll arrange everything for Lu Qingyan’s birthday banquet in four days. Whether you can seize the opportunity depends on you.”
Su Ran’s expression was filled with joy: “Really? I will definitely hold onto Qingyan. I’d be willing to die just to be with him. Thank you, Brother Ciqiu.”
Liang Ciqiu coldly watched her ecstatic expression, suppressing the urge to vomit.
He must be blind to have fallen for someone like her.
He slightly curled his lips, waiting for the show to begin.
…
At the same time, at the Chu family residence—
Jiang’s mother lingered at the entrance of the Chu family villa. Her hair was a bit messy, and her clothes were wrinkled, clearly indicating that she hadn’t changed them for several days.
She forced a smile and pleaded with the bodyguard at the gate, “Please, have mercy and let Xi Xi see me. I’m her mother. Just tell her, and she’ll let me in.”
The bodyguard gave Jiang’s mother a disdainful look.
He raised his head arrogantly, “Our young lady said, if you want food, don’t come to the Chu family’s door. She only has our madam as her biological mother. If you don’t leave and keep bothering our young lady, we’ll have to take action.”
Jiang’s mother shook her head in disbelief.
How could this be…
Xi Xi was so attached to her, how could she have changed?
Chu Xin must have locked her up.
Thinking this, she anxiously called out, “Xi Xi, Xi Xi, come see your mother! I’ll take you away, Xi Xi.”
Seeing her stubbornness, the bodyguard was about to make his move when the manor gate opened.
Chu Muxi, dressed in a high-end Chanel-style suit, frowned as she looked at the dirty Jiang’s mother.
Jiang’s mother’s eyes lit up when she saw her: “Xi Xi, Mommy’s here to pick you up.”
Chu Muxi sneered, glancing at her sideways with disdain: “My mother should be the high and mighty Madam Jiang, not a divorced, penniless nobody like you. Get out of my way! My real mother is Chu Xin. I don’t have a mother as poor as you.”
