Chapter 344: Chinese Valentine’s Day

Zhou Zhilei was lying in the hospital bed. When she saw her mother coming, she immediately cried out, “Mom.”

Kong Lan helped her up and looked at the palm print on her daughter’s face. She was shocked and angry. “Zhilei, what happened to your face? Who hit you? Mom will ask someone to teach him a lesson.”

Speaking of this, Zhou Zhilei was trembling all over. She curled up her legs in fright. Last night’s scenes replayed in her mind. It was a nightmare.

Tang Xueli was a complete pervert!

“Mom, it was Tang Xueli who hit me.”

“What?” Kong Lan’s fierce attitude snuffed out quickly. “It was Xueli? Aren’t you in a relationship with Xueli? Xueli looks gentle and elegant. Why?” she asked in shock.

Zhou Zhilei cried, and she regretted so much. “Mom, we were all blinded by the appearance of Tang Xueli. He’s mentally ill. Last night, he was… He raped me, beat me, stepped on me, and burned me with his cigarette butt.”

Kong Lan stared and plopped down in her chair. Her impression of Tang Xueli had always been very good. The Tang family were famous. Tang Xueli was young and promising. He was the richest man in town. Seeing that he was always obedient to her daughter, although he could not be compared with Lu Shaoming, he was the second-best choice, and she had already decided that Tang Xueli was her son-in-law.

“Zhilei, how did Xueli become like this?”

Zhou Zhilei couldn’t answer this question. Everything had been fine originally. Tang Xueli listened to her very much. But recently, she had uncontrollable feelings towards Lu Shaoming. When she met the man, she would say something deep in her heart that she could not say aloud, which agitated Tang Xueli.

And hence, Tang Xueli’s nature was exposed.

All the changes had taken place so quietly. It was very creepy.

“Mom, I’m going to break up with Tang Xueli. I can’t be with him anymore. I’ll be tortured to death by him. You don’t know how much he’s changed…”

Last night, she had gone through hell on earth. She was tormented for two hours and needed several stitches when she was sent to the hospital.

Kong Lan looked at her daughter. Zhou Zhilei’s face was pale, and there was a sharp palm print on her right cheek. Her hair was messy, her eyes were red and swollen like a peach, and her voice was hoarse from begging for mercy last night.

Her heart would naturally ache when her precious daughter had been tortured so much.

“Alright, Zhilei, Mom supports you. You and Tang Xueli can break up. With our Zhou family’s conditions, there are many men for you to pick from. We shall dump him.”

“Yes, yes.” Zhou Zhilei nodded, but she shook her head again. She hugged herself in fear. “Mom, Tang Xueli said I couldn’t escape.”

“Why?”

“Because I used him to deal with Lu Shaoming and cast a love spell on him. If I broke up with him, he has the antidote of the love spell in his hand. Lu Shaoming would not deal with him first but would surely deal with me, and Tang Xueli would not let me go.”

Zhou Zhilei realized the severity of the situation.

At that time in England, she was mad with jealousy. She had called Tang Xueli to help her deal with Lu Shaoming, but now, although Lu Shaoming was under the love spell, he and Ning Qing were still as loving as ever. On the contrary, she had not only failed to break Lu Shaoming and Ning Qing apart but had also sacrificed herself.

How could she fail like that?

She had also thought about who else dared to go against Lu Shaoming in this world, Whoever dared to provoke Lu Shaoming has some psychological problems.

It was because she had been too desperate she blindly chose Tang Xueli.

The situation now was: Lu Shaoming had not fallen, but she had sacrificed her life-long happiness instead.

She couldn’t get rid of the devil.

Zhou Zhilei felt that the situation was getting stranger. He had been doing well for some time before, but now there was an adverse situation.

Lu Shaoming hadn’t started taking action yet.

She doesn’t want to deal with Lu Shaoming now. She just wanted to get rid of Tang Xueli.

As Kong Lan listened, her eyes turned. She said, “Zhilei, you said Lu Shaoming was afraid of the antidote of the love spell, then why don’t you just steal the antidote, so that the antidote of the love spell would be your trump card.”

Zhou Zhilei frowned. “Can I do that?”

“Certainly.” Kong Lan was very emotional. Her eyes were bright. “Zhilei, if you have the antidote for the love spell, then this antidote will become a chip in your hand. You can then tell Lu Shaoming that if he wants the antidote, he must first help you deal with Tang Xueli. Second, ask him to divorce Ning Qing and marry you. You’ll be able to kill two birds with one stone. Besides, Lu Shaoming won’t be able to do anything to you. Your brother and your grandfather are his relatives. Your grandfather is already old. You are the only successor of the Zhou family’s Vineyard. Your grandfather won’t let any harm come to you. Even if Lu Shaoming doesn’t care about the Buddha himself, he would still care about the monk.”

Zhou Zhilei felt cheerful in an instant and nodded her head. Yes, why hadn’t she thought of it?

Grandpa had come to T City. Grandpa wouldn’t let any harm come to her.

She just wanted to teach Lu Shaoming a lesson. She didn’t want to hurt him. She still wanted to be with him in her heart.

Zhou Zhilei forgot her pain. Her mind was filled with Lu Shaoming’s handsome face. Her pale little face began to turn red.

Last night’s incident, what Tang Xueli did to her was disgusting, but if it were Lu Shaoming…

Men like him must be gentle and caring to their women.

Now that the mother and daughter had come up with a plan, Zhou Zhilei felt at ease. Now, the top priority was to settle Tang Xueli and get the antidote for the love spell.

A few nights ago, she went to Tang Xueli’s villa. She knew where the antidote was.

“Zhilei, what do you want to eat? Mom will send someone to buy it for you. There are a lot of cars on the street today. It’s July 7th today — Chinese Valentine’s day.

Chinese Valentine’s day?

How time flies.

This festival was destined to have nothing to do with her.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhilei thought of Ning Qing again. Would Ning Qing spend Chinese Valentine’s day with Lu Shaoming?

No.

She wouldn’t allow them to celebrate Chinese Valentine’s day.

“Mom, give me your cell phone.”

“Ok, Zhilei. Who do you want to call?”

Zhou Zhilei’s eyes flashed a vicious light. “I’m calling Tang Sitian. That girl has always liked Lu Shaoming. Today is Chinese Valentine’s day. I’ll have that girl stick to Lu Shaoming.”

…

At Ning Qing’s Studio

Ning Qing sat in her office chair and carefully read the information at hand. Just then, Xiao Zhou came in and asked, “Ning Qing, have you chosen the songs for <Lurker>?”

Ning Qing’s hand movements paused as she said, “Mmm, let’s use that…French song.”

“French song?” Xiao Zhou Leng asked, “Ning Qing, which spy warfare drama of the Republic of China uses a French song?”

Ning Qing blushed slightly and looked a little awkward. She said, “Xiao Zhou, did people not sing in France during the spy wars of the Republic of China?”

“They do, but…”

“But what? You can just do as I say.”

Xiao Zhou bent over and put her arms on the table. She looked at Ning Qing carefully. “Ning Qing, you are very odd today. Tell me, what’s the matter? Have you made up with Young Master Lu?”

“Who made up with him?” Ning Qing retorted.

“You’re still saying no. Look how red your little face is. Lots of photos have been revealed on the internet today. You were so affectionate with Young Master Lu when you went to the Zhou family’s vineyard. The netizens are shouting at you for abusing the singletons with these public displays of affection.”

Ning Qing was speechless. There were indeed a lot of pictures on the internet today that had probably been uploaded by the classmates. The photos were viral now.

She hummed in her heart. Who wanted to be affectionate with him?

He had forced her, alright?

“Ning Qing, did Young Master Lu call you today? Do you have a candlelight dinner date tonight?”

“Date?”

“Yes, Ning Qing. It’s July 7th, Chinese Valentine’s day. Didn’t Young Master Lu ask you out on such an important day?”

Ning Qing spaced out for a while. So fast; it was already Chinese Valentine’s day.

When she was with him, they had never celebrated any festivals properly. He was always busy with work, and he had passed the age of sending her roses and accompanying her to the movies.

Ning Qing laughed. “He didn’t ask me out. Even if he did, would I have to go?”

Xiao Zhou raised her thumb. What a proud queen.

“Ning Qing, since you don’t have a date at night, how about all of the crew go to the bar tonight to have a drink to celebrate the national frenzy for <Lurker>?”

“OK.” Ning Qing nodded.

Xiao Zhou went out, Ning Qing continued to look at the information at hand, but her long eyelashes that were like butterflies’ wings quivered as she looked sideways at the cell phone beside her.

Her cell phone was silent.

No news from the man.

She breathed out through her pink lips, shook her head, and raised her lips in self-mockery. It seemed that she was thinking too much again.

…

Several luxury cars stopped at the entrance of a bar one after another. Ning Qing and Xiao Zhou got out with the crew.

Everyone laughed and talked as they entered the bar.

Just then, a beautiful voice rang out. “Young Master Lu, wait for me.”

Ning Qing looked sideways. Lu Shaoming had arrived. The man was wearing a black shirt and pants. He looked handsome and noble, with his car keys in his right hand and his left hand in his pocket.

A sweet and lovely girl came running towards him — Tang Sitian.

Tang Sitian was pestering him.

Lu Shaoming saw Ning Qing and their eyes met. His deep, black eyes remained calm, looking at her with tenderness.

Ning Qing glanced at Tang Sitian and looked at the man again. Today, she was not even in the mood to say hello to him. She went into the bar.

Xiao Zhou quickly caught up and whispered, “Ning Qing, Young Master Lu is just walking with a girl. That girl is pestering him. Don’t be angry.”

Ning Qing’s mouth curved in a faint smile as she said. “When have you seen him letting other girls close to him. It was too easy for him to stop her. He is indulging her.”

Lu Shaoming watched the figure of the little woman disappear in the bar in front of him. Then, he looked at Tang Sitian slowly. “Don’t follow me anymore, Miss Tang. I’ll send you back.”

“I won’t go back, Young Master Lu…” Tang Sitian wanted to speak more, but then, two bodyguards came over. They put Tang Sitian in the car.

At this time, Zhou Yao came over from behind and said, “Big brother, don’t let her appear if you don’t like her. Now that Sister-in-law has seen her, it looks like she’s going to misunderstand.”

Lu Shaoming looked at him with a raised sharp brows. “Second Brother, do you think anyone is as simple as you? Why not use the chess pieces delivered to your doorstep?”

Zhou Yao laughed. “Brother, you’re the worst.”
