Relieve her of her duties

  She opened her mouth just about to say something but he didn't give her a chance, saying a sentence on his own.

  "Fine, I won't take the exam then!"

  He raised his hand to tear her clothes while continuing to speak in a harsh tone.

  "Then just drop out of school and be my woman, anyway I can afford to support you!"

  He finished speaking and bowed his head to kiss her, she suddenly screamed and slapped him in the face.

  "Lu Zhouyue, are you crazy?! Who wants to be your woman? I am your student!"

  However, because she had not eaten or drunk for several days and was only sustained by that little nutrient solution, all her strength was light, like a gentle touch on his face. He raised his hand and pressed her slender body onto the big bed, kissing her again. It wasn't the first time he kissed her, but every time it made his heart surge with emotion, even though she was so uncooperative.

  She struggled like a madwoman, making mournful whimpering sounds from her lips that were blocked by his, he didn't care about her, only holding onto her lips and sucking forcefully, it was unclear whether it was because of the intoxicating effect of her self-abasement or the intense desire he had for her, but his hands involuntarily slipped under her clothes.

  That was his first time, touching her tender skin, his excited hands were shaking slightly, and his breathing was even a bit rapid. Her chest was plump and elastic, emitting the fragrance of a young girl's tenderness, her skin was smooth and delicate, making him lovingly caress it repeatedly in the palm of his hand.

  As his movements became more intense, pea-sized eyeballs slipped from her eye sockets, and it was also the first time that Xu Liu knew that a man in lust was so terrifying. Before, she and Chen Qingchu only limited themselves to kissing, sometimes Chen Qingchu couldn't help but want to caress her body, always being rejected by her panicked evasion.

  So she didn't know that a man's desire would be so intense, his hands with scorching temperature had almost caressed her entire body, she didn't know what he would do next, she was completely powerless to resist, and could only cry helplessly.

  Perhaps because she cried or for some other reason, he stopped his actions with a crimson eye, and she was frightened to shrink there, sobbing and crying.

  "Teacher Lu, please, don't treat me like this..."

  He got up and put on his clothes, grabbed a quilt from beside him and threw it over her.

  "Either get back in shape and go back to school to prepare for the college entrance exam, or drop out of school and be my woman, you decide!"

  He finished speaking and turned to walk out, she shivered with her body alone under the quilt and burst into loud sobs. Her wailing made Lu Zhou, who had walked to the door, even more remorseful, and he punched the wall beside him in frustration. He had just lost control a bit too much, and actually did something like that to her - she must have been scared out of her wits!

  She stayed in her bedroom for a whole day and night, and finally appeared dressed the next day. His face still looked terrible, and he didn't even bother to talk to her, just gesturing with his eyes for her to eat the breakfast on the table and take the medicine.

  Xu Liu's expressionless face glanced at him, ignoring him as she turned and walked out the door. She had agreed to perk up and return to school for classes, but that didn't mean her life needed his interference. He seemed to have seen through her long ago, sitting there with a cold smile on his face.

  "Xu Liu'ao, is this what you call being spirited? You can't even take care of your own body, how can you talk about being spirited? I'm telling you, if you keep going on like this, don't blame me for telling your mom!"

  Facing her perfunctoriness, he had no choice but to take drastic measures and use her mother to threaten her.

  She stopped abruptly, turned around and glared at him angrily. He looked back at her calmly, for a seasoned businessman like him, this kind of psychological tactic was just the simplest game.

  She compromised halfway and rushed over to eat those breakfasts in two or three mouthfuls, then drank the medicine in one gulp, only to see that his eyes were completely indifferent.

  "Teacher Lu, don't worry, I will study hard and won't disappoint your 'kindness'..."

  She deliberately emphasized the two words 'thick love', and that slightly sarcastic tone, reminded him of those absurd things he did to her yesterday, his face couldn't help but feel a bit uncomfortable, after all she was still a student, no matter how much he liked her, he shouldn't have treated her like that.

  She stood there with her eyes cast down at him sitting on the sofa in the living room, a faint smile playing on her lips as she spoke words that were icy cold.

  "But Mr. Lu, for the remaining few months, please don't appear in front of me again, okay?"

  He looked up at her incredulously, not expecting her to say something so hurtful. She gave him a cold glance and turned around to rush out, leaving him sitting there alone, clenching his fists tightly. He had lived for so many years, but it was the first time he knew what it meant to be pierced by a thousand arrows.

  Later, he still fulfilled her wish and had Zhu Tingfeng resign and go abroad on a business trip, just to give her a quiet learning environment. Zhu Tingfeng said that after he left, she did study very hard and her grades gradually caught up, although they were not yet back to their best, but getting into an ordinary undergraduate program was no longer a problem.

  If she can maintain this momentum until the college entrance exam, it shouldn't be a problem to get into a key university. He, alone on the other side of the ocean in America, heard such news after his busy work and felt somewhat relieved deep down.

  Never did he think that her mother would fall ill at this time, and when he rushed back to receive the news, he found her crying and begging Fang Hui to lend her money to treat her mother's illness in front of the Xu family gate.

  Xu Liuwen really had no other choice but to go find Fang Hui, she first tried to contact Xu Dingbian, but his phone was

  She couldn't get through, and later found out from the news that he had gone abroad on a business trip. She had no choice but to swallow her pride and go find Fang Hui, only to be severely humiliated by her.

  "Xu Liu'ou, you're already eighteen this year, right? As an illegitimate daughter who isn't recognized, your father has raised you to adulthood at eighteen, which is already extremely kind and righteous. So from now on, please don't appear in front of us again."

  "Aunt Fang, my mom fell ill so suddenly this time and I couldn't gather that much money at once. Please help me out for now, and I'll repay you double later, okay? Please?"

  Xu Liu was on the verge of tears but had none to shed, and could only beg bitterly to Fang Hui, for his mother's illness would not wait.

  At that time, her mother's meager retirement pension barely covered their living expenses and her high school tuition. She rarely took the initiative to ask her father for money; instead, he would instruct the driver to bring some to her, but she would only take a little or have the driver bring it all back.

  Fang Hui coldly sneered without emotion.

  "A medicine jar, really don't know what's the point of her being alive, suffering herself and causing trouble to people around her, won't she be holding on until one day she rekindles an old romance with some man?"

  Fang Hui's sarcastic ridicule of Lian Su made Xu Liuji both heartbroken and furious, she wiped away her tears and retorted to Fang Hui without humility or arrogance.

  "Aunt Fang, how can you say such things about my mom? She's never thought of those things!"

  Fang Hui's face was somewhat unbearable.

  "Hey! Is this the attitude you have when coming to borrow money?"

  "Follow me!"

  Just as Xǔ Liú wèi was biting her lip, standing there with a heart full of despair, a low and muffled voice entered her ears, then her hand was grasped by a pair of thick and wide palms, pulling her towards a car parked not far away.

  She was led by him like that, staring blankly at his broad back, and suddenly felt tears welling up in her eyes again.

  In the end, it was him who paid for her mother's medical treatment. She had no reason to refuse because her mother's condition was too severe and she couldn't afford it anyway. Faced with reality, she chose compromise.

  In the hospital, she was too embarrassed to look at him and muttered to him with her head down.

  "Thank you, Teacher Lu. I will pay back that money later..."

  At first, it was she who asked him not to appear in front of her again, but now it is he who has been driven by her to the other side of the ocean and rushed back to help her out of trouble...

  "I don't need you to repay me, just don't forget what you promised me and study hard!"

  He finished speaking and turned to leave, but after taking just one step, he turned back around.

  "I'll send you back to rest for a while, I've arranged for the best caregivers to come and check on you regularly!"

  She hastily waved her hand

  "Never mind, I'll just wait here for my mom to wake up..."

  She refused for two reasons: one is that every time she was with him, she felt the air was particularly thin and had a suffocating feeling of breathing difficulties; the other is that she really worried about Lian Su.

  Lu Zhouyu stood there with a complex expression, looking at her. Suddenly, he felt reluctant to leave. It had been so long since he'd seen her, and he found himself missing her even more. Watching her being humiliated by Fang Hui just now, watching her worried face at this moment, he really wanted to hold her tightly in his arms and say, "Liu Mei, don't be afraid, I'm here for you."

  But he couldn't, he knew she didn't want to see him, so he turned around and left after all.

  Because of her illness, Lian Su's grades never picked up, but she could have stayed in Wen City to attend the prestigious university, studying her beloved architecture major. However, after learning about Chen Qingchu's departure, she resolutely applied to a university in a small town far from Wen City, Jiangnan. This was because it was once a promise between her and Chen Qingchu, but due to insufficient scores, she missed out on the architecture college and had to be assigned to another major.

  Today I went to another city to visit a good friend, maybe only for one more day, everyone can wait until Sunday to watch together.
