Hypocrite
Hypocrite
Wasn't there news about Lu Yifeng's son taking over the business? It was said that Lu Yifeng's son was like him who wanted to maintain a low profile that was why he would usually avoid going out in public.
Now that the heir of the Lu family was standing before them, they could see how different he was from others! No wonder the air around him was so majestic!
The side of Lu Mello's lips curled into a smile. "Xi'er and I are good friends so we don't mind getting married to each other, right, Xi'er?"
Shi Enxi slowly nodded, she turned to her aunt and smiled a bit. "Mello is my childhood friend, Auntie so it's alright. Just like what grandma told us, we will learn to love each other as we go on with this marriage life."
Wang Nansheng stared at the two for a while. Learn to love each other? Hah! Let's see that happen! Shi Enxi can't have someone like him! She is better off with a beggar!
If the two got a divorce then she surely would have a chance, right? All she needed to do was to make Lu Mello hate Shi Enxi. Yes! That was a good plan! Wang Nansheng was pleased with herself.
"Ah, the mother is becoming old. She still can't force someone into marriage. We are living in modern time but if you have made your mind then I guess I can't have a say in it anymore." Shi Anhao sighed again. She then turned to the plastic bag that Shi Enxi was carrying. "What is this?"
"I have brought fruits for uncle Wang." She handed the plastic to her aunt.
Wang Hao, who was quiet since earlier finally spoke up, "Thank you, Xi'er."
The fat man on the bed smiled at her. "Come here, it has been a while since I last saw you. I heard that I have been sleeping for weeks."
He still couldn't believe that Shi Enxi married someone. Oh well, he could easily control her into doing what he wanted to, after all, he has plenty of things to use as blackmail against her.
Shi Enxi was about to go to him but she was stopped by Lu Mello. She turned to him, not expecting him to stop her.
Lu Mello turned to his wristwatch, "Ah, look at the time..." He paused and turned to his wife's relatives. "My wife and I have to pick up my grandmother so we have to take my leave now."
"Is that so? Then I guess you could just visit some other time." Wang Hao sighed.
"By that time, Mr. Wang might have been released from here. Look at how healthy you look, I bet you can go after a few days." Lu Mello didn't want to stay in the room with them any longer.
Wang Nansheng chuckled lightly, "Yes, brother Mello is right. Why don't we invite them for a family dinner once dad is out of the hospital? How about it, Xiao Xi?" She was smiling so sweetly at her.
In that way, she would be able to spend more time with Lu Mello, right? If she would be able to catch her attention then that would be great! Getting Shi Enxi out of the picture was going to be easy!
Brother Mello?
Shi Enxi wanted to laugh at how shameless Wang Nansheng was. Her skin was really thick to call Lu Mello that way when this was the first time they're meeting!
She turned to her husband and clung on Lu Mello's arm as if showing off her closeness to him, "Darling, why don't we do that? I know that your schedule is always full but can we make time for my family?"
"For your sake then I'll make time."
Wang Nansheng clenched her fists right when she saw how close the two were. Weren't it just an arranged marriage between them? Shi Enxi was getting ahead of herself!
"Well then, we can't stay here for long. I hope that you get better soon, uncle."
...
After leaving the hospital, Shi Enxi noticed something different in Lu Mello. He was rather quiet and had a serious look on his face the whole time.
What's wrong with him? The air in the car was heavy that Shi Enxi couldn't tolerate the deafening silence anymore.
"Are we really picking up your grandma?" She tried to make a conversation with him but Lu Mello remained silent.
"Mello?"
"I thought that you knew how to tell a lie from the truth?" Lu Mello's words seemed cold for some reason.
He was looking at the scene outside of the glass window, there was no sign of warmth on his face.
"If you have something to say then say it, I don't like to play around and guess what your problem is."
"You don't like to play around?" He chuckled as if he heard a funny joke from her. "Are you being a hypocrite right now? That didn't seem to be the case earlier. It seems like you have fun playing along with your relatives."
Her brow twitched in annoyance, "So what? Do you have a problem with that?"
"I do." He finally turned to her. "Tell me, Xi'er? Why do you need to hold back in front of them? Why do you have to go along with them? Aren't you tired of pretending all so nice, so weak in front of them?"
In the past, the only reason why she was doing that was because she wanted to use Shi Anhao to get into her brother's nerve. Now that Shi Enxi was getting along with her brother, Lu Mello couldn't understand why does she have to pretend in front of them?
"If you continue to be this way then aren't you just the same as them? Disgusting, two-faced people!"
