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

Chapter 440 He took my money but didn't do anything.

"I'm not tired," Lu's mother replied with a smile. "We'll be done in a bit."

Gu Rong nodded. "If you're tired, let Sheng Sheng take you to rest for a while."

Lu's mother nodded: "Okay, you go ahead and get busy!" She paused and then looked at Lu Shengsheng beside her, "You stay with Xiao Gu."

"He doesn't need me to accompany him." Lu Shengsheng didn't want to stand with him at all.

Before Lu's mother could speak, Gu Rong smiled slightly and said, "Let her stay with you."

Her gaze swept over Gu Jingchen in the crowd, and she waved: "Jingchen."

Gu Jingchen said "Excuse me" and walked over with a glass of champagne. "Big Brother."

His gaze fell on Lu Shengsheng's face, and then he saw Lu's mother beside her, and very politely greeted her, "Sister-in-law."

This was the first time Lu Shengsheng had heard Gu Jingchen call her "sister-in-law," and it felt rather awkward.

Gu Rong replied, "You keep my aunt company for me, I'll go over there and take care of her."

Gu Jingchen nodded: "Okay."

After he left, Gu Jingchen took the initiative to introduce himself: "Hello, Auntie, I'm Gu Jingchen!"

"Hello, hello." Looking at Gu Jingchen's handsome appearance, Lu's mother couldn't help but praise, "Both of you brothers are very handsome."

Lu Shengsheng muttered under her breath, "They're all two-faced wolves in sheep's clothing!"

She spoke very softly, but Lu's mother heard her and turned her head to give her a warning look, telling her not to talk nonsense.

Gu Jingchen pretended not to hear and took the initiative to say, "Auntie, the chefs today are all from abroad, and the desserts are very good. Would you like to try some?"

"No, I'm too old to eat anything too sweet." Lu's mother waved her hand to politely decline his offer, and then said to Lu Shengsheng, "Go ahead."

"I'm on a diet, so I won't eat sweets." Lu Shengsheng was worried about leaving her alone, so she decided to stay by her side all day.

Gu Jingchen didn't insist, but simply asked the waiter to bring them two glasses of juice.

Before long, the birthday boy, Gu Baisong, finally showed up. Accompanying him were Gu Ronghui and... Lin Leyang.

Today she wore a champagne-colored off-shoulder dress and a set of diamond jewelry. Standing on either side of Gu Baisong with Gu Ronghui, they looked more like a couple.

When Lu's mother saw this, she frowned and felt a sense of unease.

Gu Baisong first thanked everyone for taking the time to attend his birthday banquet, raised his glass to toast everyone, and told them to make themselves at home and enjoy themselves.

After he finished speaking, the guests came forward to toast him. Because of his health condition, he could not drink alcohol, so Gu Ronghui drank it on his behalf.

Lu's mother and Lu Shengsheng were like outcasts in this world, standing apart from the crowd.

Gu Rong whispered a few words in Gu Baisong's ear, and soon he pushed through the crowd and walked over.

"Dad, this is Sheng Sheng's mother," Gu Ronghui introduced.

"Greetings, in-laws," Mrs. Lu greeted them respectfully. "Today is your birthday, wishing you a happy birthday."

He took the birthday gift from Lu Shengsheng and handed it over with both hands.

Gu Baisong glanced at it and then had the butler take it, saying, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness."

"You're too kind." Lu's mother took in his reaction without showing any emotion, and glanced at Lu Shengsheng beside her.

Lu Shengsheng knew what she meant and completely took it as an act, saying in a clear and crisp voice, "Dad, happy birthday, may you be healthy and live a long life."

Gu Baisong smiled faintly: "You and Rong Hui are getting a divorce, so if you don't want to call me 'Dad,' you don't have to force yourself."

The atmosphere changed abruptly upon hearing this. Gu Ronghui's face darkened immediately, "Dad..."

His voice was full of displeasure.

Lu Shengsheng's face was also extremely pale, while her mother looked shocked and asked impatiently, "What divorce? What exactly happened?"

"Mom, let's go. I'll talk to you when I get back."

Lu Shengsheng was afraid that she would be upset, so she wanted to take her away first, but Gu Baisong said slowly, "Your daughter accepted 1 billion yuan from me and wants to divorce Rong Hui, didn't you know?"

The last sentence was spoken with a rising tone, full of sarcasm.

"One billion?" These two words were an astronomical figure to Lu's mother, something she couldn't even imagine.

"You took my money but didn't do anything. Is this how the Lu family teaches its children to be untrustworthy?" Gu Baisong continued to press the issue.

"That's enough!" Lu Shengsheng snapped, unable to contain herself any longer.

I was wondering why he would be so kind as to cooperate with the act, but it turns out he never intended to help from the beginning; instead, he wanted to humiliate them in public.

"Shut up!" Lu's mother turned her head and coldly scolded her, her slender body trembling uncontrollably, but she still forced herself to remain calm and said, "I don't know about the two children, but since Sheng Sheng has agreed to the divorce, the divorce will definitely happen."

“Mom…” Gu Rong called out, her deep eyes filled with a mixture of light and shadow.

"Today is your birthday, so we shouldn't disturb you. We'll take our leave now." As if she hadn't heard him, Lu's mother pulled Lu Shengsheng away after saying that.

Gu Rong tried to follow, but was stopped by Lu's mother, "Mr. Gu, you should stay."

His steps came to an abrupt halt.

As soon as she stepped out of the hotel, Lu's mother felt her body give way and she almost collapsed.

Lu Shengsheng hurriedly supported her, her expression panicked, "Mom..."

Lu's mother squatted on the ground, looking up at her with eyes full of disappointment. "You...you really did accept ten billion from them?"

Lu Shengsheng met her heartbroken gaze and couldn't bear to deceive her any longer, so she bit her lip and nodded.

"Why...why did you do this?" Lu's mother shoved her away. "Do you love money that much? You'd do anything for money!"

Lu Shengsheng's eyes were red, and she shook her head, trying to explain: "Mom, it's not like that, please let me explain..."

She reached out to help her, but Lu's mother tried to push her away. In the ensuing scuffle, Lu's mother accidentally slapped her across the face.

For a moment, both of them were stunned.

Lu's mother hadn't intended to hit her, but she accidentally did so and was too angry to apologize. Lu Shengsheng, on the other hand, felt only guilt and worry and wasn't angry at all.

"Mom, I didn't mean to lie to you... I..." Her voice choked as she opened her mouth, unsure of how to explain.

Lu's mother reached out to touch her face, but tears streamed down her face before she could even touch her. Panicked and helpless, she cried, "What should I do? How am I supposed to explain this to your father? I haven't raised you well… I haven't looked after you properly…"

“No, that’s not it…” Lu Shengsheng shook her head, tears streaming down her face. “Mom, that’s not it.”

As if she hadn't heard her, Lu's mother muttered to herself, "It's all my fault. I didn't raise you well. It's all my fault... I'm sorry to your father, I'm sorry to you..."

As he spoke, he slapped himself in the face.

"Mom...please don't do this!" Lu Shengsheng quickly grabbed her hand. "Hit me, hit me if you're angry..."

"I……"

Lu's mother raised her arm, and Lu Shengsheng looked at her with tears in her eyes, without flinching, and closed her eyes to wait for the slap to fall.
