Cheng Lang pinned Xing Shu down and looked at her. She had fallen asleep from exhaustion. He suddenly wondered what he would do if Xing Shu had said that she wanted to end this relationship.
Cheng Lang could not lie to himself. He did not know if it was because of his pride as a man or because he could not stand being dumped. Cheng Lang lowered his head and called out, “Xing Shu.”
Xing Shu was so tired that she could not even lift her fingers. She could only mumble in a daze.
Cheng Lang leaned into her ear, and said softly and stubbornly, “It can only end when I say so.”
Xing Shu was very tired and did not know what he was talking about. She slept very soundly.
When she woke up the next day, Xing Shu felt sore all over. She rolled over in bed and opened her eyes because of the sunlight shining in from the window.
It’s her apartment… Xing Shu recalled what happened last night. She thought that it was a dream. When she got up and put on her clothes, her legs went weak and she almost knelt down. In an instant, Xing Shu’s face changed. Her lips trembled again and again. In the end, she held onto the wall in annoyance. So, it wasn’t a dream. How long was Cheng Langs f*ckathon last night?!
After leaving the bedroom, Xing Shu stopped in her tracks when she saw the culprit sitting on the couch. Was it the weekend today? That couldn’t be right.
She remembered that it was clearly Wednesday. Shouldn’t Cheng Lang be in the office at this time?
“President Cheng,” Xing Shu called out. She walked to the single seat couch and sat down. “I’m applying for leave today… work injury.” As for what work injury, she believed that Cheng Lang knew very well.
“Okay.” Cheng Lang did not even look up as he perused the documents in his hand. Jian Yaochuan had probably sent them to him early in the morning. Xing Shu pressed her neck and was about to say something when the doorbell rang. She subconsciously looked at Cheng Lang.
Cheng Lang continued perusing the documents, ignoring the doorbell.
Xing Shu walked to the door. When she saw Nie Xi standing outside through the peephole, she pursed her lips and touched her neck guiltily. She returned to the bedroom to change into a high-collared shirt before opening the door.
Nie Xi could not hide the anxiety on her face. After opening the door, she looked past Xing Shu and saw Cheng Lang sitting on the couch. Her expression changed and became complicated.
Xing Shu also felt quite guilty. She closed the door and asked Nie Xi, “Why are you here so early in the morning? What happened?”
“You call this morning?” Nie Xi pointed at the clock on the wall. It was already past noon.
Xing Shu was speechless and did not know what to say. However, she saw Nie Xi walk over to Cheng Lang and mock him, “President Cheng… The night of passion is too short, huh?”
Xing Shu blushed at Nie Xi’s words and quickly grabbed her wrist. Nie Xi sat down in annoyance. “Did you see the message I sent you? The Xing family is going to announce that they want to acknowledge Xing Linlin. They even said that you’ve been usurping her place all along. What’s going on? Is Xing Linlin really a member of the Xing family? Was there a mistake back then?” She did not want to accept all of this. Just thinking about how smug Xing Linlin was now upset her.
“Yes, it’s a mistake. We did a paternity test again. Xing Linlin is the biological daughter of the Xing family.” When Xing Shu said this, her tone was calm. She was even wondering if she should order takeout; she was hungry.
Nie Xi sighed, “There are all kinds of rumors out there. They say that you’re scheming and that you know how to tamper with the test results at such a young age. They even say that you’ve been living in the lap of luxury all these years on a stolen identity. They want you to apologize to Xing Linlin.” The more she said, the more Nie Xi frowned. “Tomorrow night, the Xing family will hold a banquet for Xing Linlin to solemnly announce this.”
Xing Shu did not expect that a sex video of her catching Xing Linlin and Cheng Xingyang in the act would cause so much trouble. However, telling her to apologize to Xing Linlin? Dream on. Back then, it was the Xing family who made the mistake. She was only a 10 -year-old child at that time.How could she have done all of that? Since the Xing family’s negligence was to blame, they should bear it themselves.
Xing Shu thought about it and lowered her head to transfer 10 million yuan to Wu Minxia’s account. All these years, the Xing family had not spent so much money on her, but she very considerately included interest.
After the funds were transferred over, Wu Minxia called. “Xing Shu, what do you mean by this?”
Xing Shu regarded her with mirth. Why was she still pretending at this time? She said, “I’ve even included interest for the Xing family’s expenses for raising me all these years. We’re square now. Don’t bother me in the future.”
This was different from what Wu Minxia had imagined. Shouldn’t it be that Xing Shu couldn’t bear to be separated from them and begged them to let her stay in the Xing family? If not for the Xing family back then, Xing Shu might have been a beggar somewhere..
