At night, the soft and obedient girl was kissed by the big boss in the Beijing circle and cried

Chapter 436 I'm coming now

Lu Shengsheng's heart tightened, and she casually made up a story: "What are you talking about? They're busy! His father isn't feeling well and has gone abroad for medical treatment."

Mother Lu looked surprised. "Is that so?"

His gaze turned to Gu Ronghui, who asked with concern, "How is your father's health?"

Gu Rong glanced back at Lu Shengsheng, who spoke without thinking.

Lu Shengsheng was terrified, afraid that he wouldn't help her cover up the lie, and that she would be exposed...

Fortunately, Gu Ronghui still had a sliver of conscience left and covered up the lie for her, "It's nothing serious. He goes out twice a year, saying it's for recuperation, but it's really just a vacation to relax."

Hearing this, Lu's mother felt relieved. "It's good that he's alright. When he comes back, could you arrange for us to meet and have a meal together?"

Before Gu Rong could reply, she continued, "After all, you and Sheng Sheng are a married couple who have registered your marriage. Even without a wedding, the two families should sit down for a meal and have a chat. It would be a way of recognizing each other as relatives. What do you think?"

Gu Rong nodded. "Okay, I'll arrange it."

"Then I'll have to trouble you." Seeing that he had agreed, Lu's mother smiled and took the initiative to put a lot of food on his plate.

Gu Rong ate it all without any expression.

After the meal, Lu's mother wanted to wash the dishes, but Lu Shengsheng stopped her, telling her to take her medicine and rest, while she went to wash the dishes herself.

Gu Rong didn't leave. Instead, she made a phone call in the yard. After hanging up, she came back, glanced at the closed bedroom door, and went into the kitchen to ask, "Is Mom asleep?"

Lu Shengsheng ignored him.

Gu Ronghui then said, "Mom wants to see Dad, how about I make the arrangements?"

Lu Shengsheng couldn't help but turn off the tap, looking up at him and glaring, "What arrangements? We're getting a divorce, and now you're arranging for both families to sit down for dinner? Don't you think that's ridiculous?"

Gu Ronghui remained silent.

Lu Shengsheng turned her head and continued washing the dishes. "You can go now. I'll handle things with my mom myself. You don't need to meddle."

Gu Ronghui was about to speak when her phone suddenly rang. She glanced at Lu Shengsheng instinctively when she saw the caller ID.

Lu Shengsheng didn't even bother to glance at him, her attention was entirely on the bowl.

Gu Rong didn't say a word in the end, turned around and walked out, saying gently as she went, "Hey, I'm coming over now."

Lu Shengsheng didn't turn around to look at him. She didn't need to think; she could tell from his voice who was calling her. She wondered who he was so eager to see.

She knew all of this, but she didn't care.

Because she had given up on this man and no longer had any expectations of him.

***
When Lu's mother woke up and learned that Gu Rong had left, she wasn't too surprised. Instead, she asked with concern, "Are you two alright?"

She's been through it all; how could she not sense that something was off between her daughter and son-in-law?

"It's nothing, what could possibly happen to us?" Lu Shengsheng smiled and changed the subject. "Don't worry about me. Are you staying here tonight or going back to the hospital?"

"Since you're back, why don't you stay for a couple of days?" Lu's mother rarely came back and was reluctant to leave. "Anyway, there's nothing much to do at the hospital."

Lu Shengsheng did not object. "That's fine too. I won't leave tonight. I can sleep with Mom."

Lu's mother asked softly, "Is it alright?" "Of course!" Lu Shengsheng hugged her neck and said affectionately, "Didn't I tell you that I'm on rest recently and have plenty of time to spend with you?"

"That's wonderful." Mother Lu gently patted her arm.

In the afternoon, Lu Shengsheng accompanied her mother for a stroll in the neighborhood. The residents here were all longtime neighbors who knew that Lu Shengsheng was a big star, so they were not surprised to see her and greeted her in a very normal way.

I was a little surprised to see Lu's mother come back to stay. She chatted with me and asked if I was not going to leave again.

Lu's mother explained with a smile that she was just coming back to stay for two days, and would still have to go to the sanatorium later.

The neighbors felt sorry for her and told her to take good care of herself and move back home as soon as possible, as the neighborhood would be more lively with more people.

Lu's mother spoke with a smile, and after her walk, her neighbors even brought her some dumplings they had made.

After taking a shower that evening, Lu Shengsheng and her mother lay on the large bed. The blankets, which had been sun-dried during the day, were warm and comfortable.

"It feels like going back to when I was a child, sleeping with my mom and dad." Lu Shengsheng nestled in her arms, reminiscing about her childhood.

Lu's mother reached out and touched her cheek. "Do you still remember when you were already over ten years old, you still wanted to sleep with your parents? Aren't you ashamed!"

"I want to sleep with Mommy and Daddy." Lu Shengsheng's tone was coquettish, completely like a child who had never grown up. "Who told me to be your little darling?"

Thinking of the past, Lu's mother couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat, and said with emotion, "Yes, you are your parents' little darling, but we are sorry for you... If your father hadn't gotten sick, you wouldn't be here..."

Lu Shengsheng knew what she wanted to say, and quickly interrupted, "I've always felt very happy to be your daughter, and I really enjoy acting now, and I can earn a lot of money!"

To pay for her father's medical treatment, the family was destitute and burdened with debt. To help ease her mother's burden, she didn't attend university after being admitted to university, but instead chose to become a model. She started as an e-commerce model, then an advertising model, and later worked as an extra. Eventually, she was spotted by an agent and signed as a professional actress...

For a very long time, she worked hard to earn money to pay off her family's debts, not picky about roles or screen time, she would act as long as she was paid.

Lu's mother knew she was just saying that to comfort herself, "So, did you really marry Xiao Gu because you love him, or...?"

"Mom..." Lu Shengsheng drawled, "When I married him, the family's debts had been paid off!"

"Is it because his family looks down on us?" Mrs. Lu guessed.

Lu Shengsheng remained silent and did not refute. Even if she did, it would be useless. She might as well let her think that way to avoid bringing up the idea of ​​the two families sitting down for a meal to recognize each other.

Mrs. Lu sighed, "In the end, it's still us who have dragged you down. If only our circumstances were better..."

“It has nothing to do with these things,” Lu Shengsheng said softly. “Even if Dad hadn’t left, they wouldn’t have looked up to us. The difference in social status is something ingrained in our bones. They are born noble and superior, while we are destined to be ordinary or even lowly.”

"Sheng Sheng, don't think like that," Lu's mother comforted her. "Xiao Gu's willingness to marry you means he doesn't think that way. His family's attitude doesn't represent his attitude. Don't take your anger out on him because of his family!"

Lu Shengsheng twitched her lips, offering no explanation.

"Now that you two are married, you should work together and put your efforts into it."

Lu's mother imparted the wisdom of marriage to her: "Marriage must begin with love, but love cannot be the pillar of a marriage for a lifetime, so you must learn to be patient, tolerant, and to manage it."

Lu Shengsheng listened silently without refuting her point. She said that these things might be useful to others, but they would be of no help to her.

Because there had never been any love between her and Gu Ronghui.
