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

Chapter 447 Let's Give Each Other a Hug
"Why wouldn't he?" Lu's mother felt that her words were too absolute. Based on her own experience, she couldn't be wrong.

"Because he knows..." I've had an abortion.

He stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence and swallowed the words back.

My mother doesn't know that she was pregnant, and telling her now will only make her more upset.

Lu's mother sensed something was amiss. "What does he know?"

"It's nothing," Lu Shengsheng said casually. "Anyway, it's impossible for him! Don't say things like that in front of him, or it'll be very awkward for us."

Seeing her so confident expression, Lu's mother didn't know what to say. "Fine, it's your own business to decide. I can't do it for you."

Lu Shengsheng stuck out her pink tongue. "Good to know."

When Lu Wenzhou finished washing the dishes and came out, his mother gave him a red envelope.

"Auntie, no need, you're too kind."

"We must accept the red envelopes from our elders during the Lunar New Year," said Mrs. Lu with a serious expression.

Lu Shengsheng said from the side, "Take it, it's not much money, just for good luck."

Upon hearing this, Lu Wenzhou accepted the red envelope. "Thank you, Auntie. Happy New Year, Auntie. May all your wishes come true and may you grow more and more beautiful with each passing year."

"Thank you for your kind words." Mother Lu told them to play, and then went back to her room to rest.

Lu Wenzhou sat down, looked at the red envelope in his hand, and couldn't help but laugh.

Lu Shengsheng clicked her tongue twice, "It's just a New Year's red envelope, look how happy you are."

Lu Wenzhou looked up at her, her lips parted slightly: "This is the first time I've ever received a New Year's red envelope in my life."

Lu Shengsheng was stunned, unable to believe it, "You've never received a New Year's red envelope before?"

He shook his head, a fleeting glint of darkness in his eyes. "You don't know, do you? I'm actually an illegitimate child. My mother was a woman in a brothel. She thought that getting pregnant with a rich man's child would allow her to climb the social ladder, but he didn't care at all."

Lu Shengsheng listened quietly without saying a word, never expecting his background to be so complicated.

“Although I was taken back to the Lu family, no one took me seriously. Even the servants could beat and kick me, let alone the people in the Lu family.” Lu Wenzhou’s eyes were devoid of warmth, filled with hatred as he thought of the hellish Lu family. “I was always hungry and had to steal food from the kitchen or rummage through the trash for expired food that they had thrown away.”

It's already a miracle that he survived; New Year's red envelopes and birthday gifts are simply unthinkable for him.

Lu Shengsheng felt that she was relatively fortunate compared to him, at least her parents genuinely loved her, and her father had never mistreated her before he got sick.

"What about your mother?"

"She took the Lu family's money and then disappeared completely." Lu Wenzhou couldn't help but sneer as he mentioned the woman. "Actually, I looked for her later. Guess what happened to her?"

Lu Shengsheng shook her head.

"She squandered all the money the Lu family gave her and went back to her old profession, only to contract a host of venereal diseases. She even wants me to give her money for treatment..."

Lu Wenzhou sneered, "I wouldn't give her a single penny even if I threw the money into the water. In the end, she died of illness under the bridge, and I had her cremated and her ashes scattered in the sea."

“You’re so kind, you even scattered her ashes at sea.” Lu Shengsheng said from the bottom of her heart, “If it were me, I would just throw her body into the wild to feed wild dogs and wolves or something.”

Lu Wenzhou remained silent.

Lu Shengsheng sat down next to him and patted his shoulder, saying earnestly, "It's okay, I'll give you a New Year's red envelope from now on!"

Lu Wenzhou raised an eyebrow: "You?" Lu Shengsheng nodded: "You've already called me Sister Sheng, so of course I'll protect you. Wait for me!"

She got up, slipped on her slippers, and went back to her room. A few minutes later, she came out again, holding a red envelope. "Happy New Year, Lu Wenzhou. From now on, you'll be the one giving out red envelopes."

Lu Wenzhou's dark eyes widened in surprise, his gaze shifting between her small face and the red envelope.

"Here you go." Lu Shengsheng stuffed the red envelope directly into his hand.

Lu Wenzhou held the red envelope she gave him, pursed his lips, and reached out to pull her into his arms.

Lu Shengsheng froze, somewhat awkwardly asking, "What, what are you doing?"

"I'm so touched. I don't know how to thank you, so I'll just give you a hug." Lu Wenzhou tightened his arms around her, reluctant to let go.

Lu Shengsheng relaxed and joked, "You didn't cry from being so touched, did you?"

"Yeah, I was so moved I cried, so don't look." Lu Wenzhou said casually, "I have my pride too."

Lu Shengsheng knew he was joking and laughed loudly.

Lu Wenzhou didn't hug her for long, and naturally let go of her. "Are you still watching the Spring Festival Gala?"

"I'm not watching anymore, I have to go back to my room first." Lu Shengsheng got up and said, "You should rest early, you're not old enough to do that New Year's Eve stuff."

Lu Wenzhou smiled and nodded, "Okay, good night."

Lu Shengsheng went back to her room but didn't go to sleep. Instead, she sat on the bed and scrolled through Weibo.

Tonight's trending topics are all about the Spring Festival Gala, as well as some entries about the performances of the actors who participated in the Gala. Lu Shengsheng ate some gossip and then checked the time.

It was almost midnight when she uploaded the photos she had taken in advance to Weibo, with the caption: "A new year, a new beginning."

On the first day of everyone's countdown to the New Year, Lu Shengsheng posted on Weibo.

After posting, she logged out of Weibo, put down her phone, walked to the bedside, looked at the distant fireworks outside, and murmured to herself, "Lu Shengsheng, Happy New Year! May you always be happy!!"

***
Lu Shengsheng's divorce announcement only became a trending topic this morning.

This was also within Zhao Xuan's expectations. They took advantage of the high popularity of the Spring Festival Gala and the fact that netizens were not paying as much attention to celebrities, making it easier to control public opinion.

Lu Wenzhou had been following Lu Shengsheng's Weibo account for a long time and saw her official announcement in the middle of the night, so he wasn't surprised at all to see it trending in the morning.

Gu Ronghui, on the other hand, saw a lot of messages on WeChat when he woke up in the morning. They were all words of comfort to him, and some people were testing his attitude towards Lu Shengsheng after the divorce.

Gu Rong didn't reply to any of the questions, unaware of what had happened. Gu Jingchen, however, noticed his confusion and offered an explanation: "Lu Shengsheng officially announced your divorce in the early hours of the morning, posting your divorce certificates."

Gu Ronghui doesn't have a Weibo account, and his face visibly darkened upon hearing this.

Gu Jingchen sighed softly, "Since you've already come to this point, let's part ways amicably."

"A clean break?" Gu Rong sneered. "Dream on."

Gu Jingchen: “…”
-
Zhao Xuan had already informed all her partners and made arrangements with the marketing accounts in advance to try to make the breakup seem peaceful, so that everyone could save face and the impact on both sides would be minimized.

After finishing his lunch on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Wenzhou took a taxi home in the afternoon.

Lu Shengsheng stayed with her mother in the courtyard for a few days before taking her to the hospital on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
