Chapter 181: [No title]

Cheng Xi clutched the absurd piece of paper as she grit her teeth and reminded herself, He’s a patient, a patient, a patient! Patients who suffered from emotional detachment were normally petty, selfish, and aloof. Lu Chenzhou was clearly trying to salvage their relationship by trying to give all his money to her after reporting her!

Honestly, he might have been trying his hardest to mollify her, but his actions couldn’t have enraged her more!

Cheng Xi put the contract down and had to chat with her parents for a while before she finally calmed down.

Lu Chenzhou came out not long after Cheng Xi; for him, that was a very fast shower. Only after everyone settled in did Cheng Xi’s birthday celebration finally begin. Cheng Xi’s parents seized this opportunity to anticipate the future. “If you got married this year, had a baby the next, and then twins the year after that…… That’d be wonderful, wouldn’t it?”

Unfortunately, they only received two cold stares in response.

Cheng Xi’s parents didn’t respond either. “……”

╮(╯▽╰)╭

Cheng Xi would behave like this whenever this topic was brought up, so her mother plastered a fake smile on her face and shifted targets to Lu Chenzhou instead. “Chenzhou, don’t you want kids?” Why’s your face so cold?! Do you not want to have children with my daughter?

Lu Chenzhou bluntly replied, “No.”

“You don’t want my daughter to give birth?”

“I don’t want children.”

Cheng Xi’s mother sucked in a deep, cold breath as she glanced at her husband. “Don’t you have a large family property? If you don’t have heirs, then who’s going to take over your business?”

Lu Chenzhou’s face remained cold. “It’s not all mine, and what I do have, I’ve already given to Cheng Xi.”

Cheng Xi’s parents were stunned. “What?”

Cheng Xi had been daydreaming, and she only came to her senses when her parents burst out in confusion. While she was still catching up, she heard Lu Chenzhou say, “The reason why I married her wasn’t so that she could make babies for me.”

Cheng Xi was struck speechless. “……”

Lu Chenzhou had a rare talent of somehow making her feel moved while also making her want to strangle him to death.

Cheng Xi’s parents couldn’t understand his logic of wanting to marry but not wanting to have any children. However, this wasn’t the part that caught their ear. “Did you really give all your property and assets to Cheng Xi?”

Lu Chenzhou nodded. “She signed the contract, so I’ll have my lawyer start the transfer proceedings tomorrow.”

Tomorrow…… He said all this calmly and evenly, and Cheng Xi’s mother became curious. Just how much money he was worth? He couldn’t only be worth about a million yuan or so, right? Her lack of wealth somewhat restricted her imagination; thus, Cheng Xi’s mother decided to not mention money at all, opting to instead ask, “Why? What made you decide to do this? This isn’t a small thing. How could your family agree?”

As she peppered him with all kinds of questions, she even pinched Cheng Xi. You little wench! It wasn’t you who asked him for all this, was it?

Cheng Xi didn’t even want to respond. In the first place, she hadn’t accepted anything, all right? So no matter what they said, none of it was going to happen!

“They will agree. This is nothing much. I’m giving my assets to her so that, even if she loses her job, she’ll still have money.”

Hmm? Cheng Xi’s parents were bewildered. “Why would she lose her job?”

Cheng Xi tried to stop this conversation in its tracks before her parents became even more shocked. “Don’t listen to him. He’s just spouting nonsense.” Lu Chenzhou had already made a huge mess, and she didn’t want her parents to be wrapped up in it too.

Lu Chenzhou ignored Cheng Xi. He sat upright with his palms placed on his stomach, looking like the perfect obedient child; however, his next words almost shocked Cheng Xi’s parents to death. “I reported her.”

……There was silence.
