“You’re right, Senior. Cousin is the top socialite of Beijing. I obviously can’t compare to her.”
Luo Zheng answered him smilingly, seemingly not angered at all.
Perhaps because they were in the past, Xi Mubai was rather young and he still looked puerile. He looked completely differently from his cruel self on the night of their wedding.
Hence, she suppressed her resentment and spoke to him normally.
She felt no need to be bothered by his sarcastic remarks because she knew that he was stating facts.
Although she was also one of the four top socialites in the past and was one of the twin beauties of the Luo Family alongside Luo Tingxue, that was all in the past,
Everyone deemed Luo Tingxue as a goddess, a genius, and an elite socialite whom no one dared to profane… Yet, they all treated Luo Zheng like a dimwit, bimbo and filthy girl who was nothing except a pretty face!
Mu Sen took videos of her and exposed them on the internet, causing her reputation to be ruined.
Despite being the heiress of the wealthy Luo Family, men objectified her and saw her as a plaything that they could toy with easily.
A long time later, she began to grow mentally fragile and began to develop depression… Later on, she grew sick and tired of all men except Xi Mubai!
“You… ”
Xi Mubai suddenly sensed something amiss.
The door of the room was opened all of a sudden and Old Mr. Luo said in an aged voice, “It’s rare for Lass Zheng to come here and yet, you guys said such inappropriate things about her!”
Upon hearing his words, Luo Zheng sensed that she had upset the Luo Family by turning up uninvited!
Old Mr. Luo was the only one who indulged her and did not mind her presence.
She stared at him while he waved at her benevolently and said, “Lass Zheng, come here and let me take a look at you!”
Luo Zheng’s heart grew warmer and she scurried towards him and leaped into his embrace. “Grandpa, I missed you so much! It’s all my fault… ”
In her previous lifetime, Mu Tianwei had brainwashed her with the wrong concepts and turned her against the Luo Family… He even duped her into signing the papers to transfer her mother’s assets and shares to him after she turned 18 years old. Later on, he fell out with her and turned his back against her
At last, she was chased out of the Mu Family less than two years later.
When she had nowhere to go, Old Mr. Luo took her in and even prepared her dowry for her to marry Xi Mubai gloriously.
She was blind to have trusted Xi Mubai and helped him smuggle drugs into the Luo Family home, thus causing them to be destroyed.
She heard that Old Mr. Luo suffered a relapse and was sent to the hospital when the police arrived at the Luo Family home to arrest them… At that moment, she was locked up in her matrimonial home by Xi Mubai, filled with despair!
“Don’t cry, Lass Zheng, it is good that you’re home.”
Old Mr. Luo’s voice was shaky and he almost cried while comforting Luo Zheng.
At this moment, a middle-aged man appeared and said in a complicated tone, “Father, let’s talk inside, this is not a suitable place… ”
Luo Zheng looked up and called softly, “Uncle… ”
Old Mr. Luo had two sons and one daughter. Her eldest uncle was Luo Shuyuan and her second uncle was Luo Qiyuan. Old Mr. Luo’s daughter was none other than Luo Zheng’s mother, Luo Huawei.
Luo Zheng followed Old Mr. Luo into the room, both in tears.
Xi Mubai obviously did not enter because it was the Luo Family’s matters and his presence would be redundant. Hence, he bid Luo Shuyuan goodbye.
Before leaving, he turned to look at Luo Zheng.
“Xi Mubai, you must remember that you were the one who shattered my heart.”
He was somehow reminded of her resolute words.
Xi Mubai frowned and felt that he was unusually concerned about Luo Zheng and was paying too much attention to her… He thought to himself, maybe I was just reading too much into things. She is only 17 years old. Still a young girl and she only adored him.
Why should I stoop to her level? She is not worth my attention at all!
Xi Mubai had no idea that Luo Zheng’s words were the greatest curse in his life.
Later on, he would be jolted awake from his dreams at midnight.
It was only then that he finally regretted and understood… that he was the one who forced her and shattered her heart all by himself. He had lost his true love and would never be able to atone for it!
