Chapter 423 I Won't Have Your Child
The lights in the venue dimmed, leaving only a beam of light on the runway. As the music started, models wearing jewelry walked the runway, and everyone fell silent, immersing themselves in appreciating the jewelry designs.

Lu Shengsheng wasn't very interested in these pieces of jewelry. A set of jewelry could cost several million yuan, which she could afford, but there was no need for her to buy it.

She gets brand sponsorships when attending public events, but she doesn't use them in private. As for collecting... she doesn't have that hobby.

So while her eyes were fixed on the models on the runway, her mind was completely blank, wandering off into the vastness of the world.

Lin Leyang is the complete opposite of her. She loves looking at jewelry designs, has studied jewelry design, and has a large collection of jewelry and jade at home.

Looking at the red jewelry around the neck of the spokesperson on the runway, I couldn't help but praise: "This is the best-looking outfit tonight, and the design is ingenious."

Gu Ronghui had no knowledge of these things, and upon hearing her praise, he subconsciously asked, "Do you like it?"

Lin Leyang chuckled: "So what if I like it? Are you going to buy it for me?"

Gu Ronghui didn't say anything, but simply picked up the remote control on the table and pressed a button. The brand immediately knew that he wanted to buy the jewelry set.

Notify the model to come offstage and deliver the entire jewelry set to him as quickly as possible.

The CEO came over personally to express his gratitude, saying, "Mr. Gu has excellent taste. This jewelry set is our chief designer's latest creation this year, and it's the only one of its kind. Mrs. Gu has fair skin, and this jewelry set will complement her complexion even better."

Upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the three men changed.

Gu Ronghui said in a tense voice, "This set of jewelry is a gift for Yangyang."

The boss's smile froze instantly, and he subconsciously looked at Mrs. Gu's reaction.

Lu Shengsheng acted like an outsider who knew nothing, playing with her phone.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Lin Leyang spoke first: "Ah Hui, you must be joking."

She managed to ease the awkwardness and save face for Lu Shengsheng, but alas...

Gu Rong replied in a deep voice, "I wasn't joking. It was originally bought for you."

He said this without any regard for the fact that his legal wife was sitting next to him.

"Alright, I accept your kind offer, Ah Hui." Lin Leyang was still politely declining, "I don't need this jewelry set. Give it to Sheng Sheng. She attends events often and needs it more than I do."

Gu Ronghui insisted, "Your birthday is coming up soon, so consider this an early birthday present."

Seeing his insistence, Lin Leyang couldn't refuse any longer. She looked at Lu Shengsheng and said, "Shengsheng, is there anything you like? I'll buy it for you, okay?"

Lu Shengsheng, who had originally intended to ignore them, felt so disgusted by their words that she wanted to vomit her dinner from the night before, and then Lin Leyang deliberately provoked her...

Lu Shengsheng really couldn't hold back any longer. She curled her lips slightly and said with a smile, "Miss Lin, are you showing off to me?"

Lin Leyang's smile froze, and she immediately explained, "That's not what I meant."

"What do you mean by 'not meaning that'?" Lu Shengsheng's delicate face was full of sarcasm. "My husband gave you such expensive jewelry in public, and you didn't refuse. You've already humiliated me in front of everyone. Now you're saying you want to give me a set? If you're not showing off, then you think that since my husband won't buy it for me, you're buying it for me because you pity me?"

“I really didn’t mean that. Ah Hui and I have known each other for many years and we exchange expensive gifts. I hope you don’t misunderstand,” Lin Leyang explained. “I wanted to give it to you because you are Ah Hui’s wife, so naturally I’m extending my affection to you as well.”

"What a wonderful example of loving someone because of their family." Lu Shengsheng chuckled. "Miss Lin is so beautiful and kind-hearted. When my husband and I have our baby, shouldn't you come and take care of me during my postpartum period because of your love for her?"

Lin Leyang's expression froze slightly, and she pursed her lips without speaking. Gu Rong's sharp gaze shot towards Lu Shengsheng, "I won't have a child with you."

With just one sentence, he directly slapped Lu Shengsheng in the face and also stood up for Lin Leyang.

This is not just slapping her face in the face, but publicly humiliating her and leaving her no dignity whatsoever.

"Ah Hui..." Lin Leyang called out to him, gently shaking her head to signal him to stop talking.

The people around them no longer cared how beautiful the jewelry on the runway was; all their eyes were fixed on them, wishing they could come over and listen to what they were saying.

Lu Shengsheng didn't feel ashamed or embarrassed by his words and burst into tears or leave in shame and anger. Instead, she smiled and said, "Of course you won't have a child with me. I already had a master calculate it for you. The master said that a cursed lone star like you, a refined scoundrel, has long been cut off from all your relatives and is destined to be childless."

The scene was deathly silent; everyone was on edge, sweating bullets.

How dare she curse President Gu like that? Has she really had enough of living?

Unexpectedly, Gu Rong remained seated, his handsome features showing no trace of anger. His deep eyes gazed at her meaningfully, remaining silent.

Lin Leyang stood up and said softly, "Sheng Sheng, it's all my fault. I apologize, but you shouldn't have spoken to A Hui like that. You two are husband and wife after all..."

"Damn it!" Lu Shengsheng stood up and said disdainfully, "The worst thing that ever happened to me was marrying him."

He paused for a moment, then added, "But your bad luck won't last long. Good luck, Miss Lin, and hope you can take over soon."

In order not to affect the brand's original intention of holding the banquet, Lu Shengsheng asked the boss for permission to resign.

The boss wiped his sweat and quickly sent the troublesome guy away. He decided to leave the three of them together, as he was going to resign from headquarters the next day.

Lin Leyang sat down again and whispered, "Go check on her, make sure nothing happens."

Gu Rong remained seated, raising her chin slightly: "Let's see if there's anything else you like."

Lin Leyang sighed and shook her head helplessly.

Lu Shengsheng lifted her skirt and walked out of the hotel. She didn't call a driver to pick her up or hail a car. Instead, she walked aimlessly down the street.

The late autumn nights in Beijing were exceptionally cold. The cold wind tossed her long hair. Just moments before she had been full of fighting spirit, but now she was like a deflated balloon, her eyes filled with weariness and dejection.

Looking back on the time when she first met Gu Rong, he fulfilled all her requests, even unreasonable ones. He would even secretly call the director when she complained about how tiring filming was...

At that time, she felt that falling in love with Gu Ronghui was as natural and simple as breathing.

When did it start to change?

It seems to have started with accidentally discovering that photo in his wallet, and then with his words about getting an abortion after I became pregnant…

It turns out that from beginning to end, he treated it like a canary. He could spend money and effort on this canary, but he would never be moved or fall in love with it...

There's simply no comparison between a canary and a white moonlight.

"Lu Shengsheng?"

A car stopped by the roadside, the window rolled down, revealing Lu Wenzhou's unruly face. In the dim light, his gaze towards her held a hint of barely perceptible concern!

[First Update] The dog-like man was unusually persistent on his way to the crematorium.
