Chapter 410 - Against His Will (1/2)

”There are people without morals in this world. I may not be a good man, but I understand morality.”

Beads of cold sweat gathered on Xu Shiyang's forehead as she recalled Chu Lui's methods. The rumors surrounding this man had always been terrifying. He would resort to unscrupulous means when dealing with his business rivals, and no good would come to those who dare to go against him.

Thus, Xu Shiyang was afraid. This time, she was truly terrified. She shouldn't have had any desires on another man or fantasized about snatching him away from any woman.

Li Manni came to know about the matter of Xu Shiyang being escorted out of the Chu Enterprise by security officers. She really thought of slapping that woman again. Who did she think she was? Chu Lui was no someone whom she could lust for.

Li Manni's good mood took a turn when she thought of her current relationship with Chu Lui. She could no longer laugh.

She wanted to change, but she didn't know how.

In fact, she was fully aware that that man's heart had already left her long ago.

At this moment, many dry leaves had accumulated outside the window. The veins of the leaves seemed to have stopped with the passing of the seasons. However, once something had been lost, it would never be recovered again.

In this world, no two leaves would ever be the same; neither could they have the same destinies.

Chu Lui went back to his parents' place first. As for Li Manni, he needed no worry about her right now. She would take good care of herself and not let anything happen to her. Of course, that included her unborn child that belonged to her. It was more important than her life.

”Ah Lui, have some tea.” Song Wan handed him the teacup over to him and sat beside him. She studied her son who had grown into a tall and handsome man, and she sighed. How time had passed. She was getting old, too.

”Look at you all grown up. Until now, I can still remember how you look when you were just a small boy. You were so tiny then.” She measured him with her hand. ”See. You have grown bigger, and I am older, too.” Time really flies. In the blink of an eye, her son would become a father soon; she would be a grandmother. She had lived most of her life. Her son was her pride and joy. She was also constantly worrying about him.

”Mom, you are still young.” Chu Lui sipped at his tea. He hardly offered any comforting words. His lips were always tightly shut with little to say. At times, to ask him to converse more was equivalent to asking for his life. Right now, he was being cordial which was a rare moment.

”Young? I will be a grandmother soon.” Song Wan smiled gently. She was truly getting old, but she had lived a life worth living. If she could hold her grandson, she was willing to die right now.

”Ah Lui, you feel that you have let Xia Ruoxin down. Am I right?” Song Wan rested a hand on her son's tensed shoulder. She could only imagine the stress that he had been dealing with recently.

”Yes.” Chu Lui nodded. There was no need to hide in front of his own mother. ”You realized you have hated and taken revenge on the wrong person because Xia Yixuan is still alive,” she sighed. She had given birth to her son, and she knew him. There was no way she wouldn't know the reason behind that wedding four years ago.
