That moment, my heart froze. Five years of
love reduced to a cruel joke…
When I told my father I was marrying Lu Ming
while pregnant, he was serious.
“If you can’t terminate the pregnancy, we’ll
raise the child ourselves,” he said. “Don’t go
looking for another man to be the father,
especially one who’s broke. Are you sure he
won’t be another Chen Yun, a viper who
abandons you after taking your money?”
I nodded without hesitation.
“I’m sure.” Something about Lu Ming’s
proposal felt right. I didn’t love him, and I
wasn’t afraid of betrayal.
The next day, I told Lu Ming to meet my
parents. I was prepared to reveal my true
identity. But Lu Ming also brought his
Г
parents, who turned out to be the CEO and
his wife of the Lu Corporation. Turns out, I
wasn’t the only one hiding things.
Both sets of parents were shocked when they
learned the truth. My parents exchanged a
glance, and my father began to speak.
“You know our daughter’s situation. I think
maybe this should be called off…
“”
Before he could finish, Lu Ming’s parents
smiled and presented a pile of gifts.
“We know about the pregnancy,” Lu’s mother
said awkwardly. “It’s… actually perfect! My
son has some health issues, and he can’t
have children. This is a perfect match.”
My parents and I were stunned. I looked at Lu
Ming incredulously. He smiled, mouthing, “We’re perfect together.” I couldn’t help but
smile.
Our wedding was quickly arranged. Lu Ming’s
parents seemed very pleased. Lu’s father
Г
gave me 30% of Lu Corp’s shares as a
dowry. Lu’s mother gave me a beautiful jade
bracelet. But as she did, she apologized,
“This bracelet is from an auction, I feel like
it’s too simple. But don’t worry, Lu Ming’s
grandmother left a much better bracelet for
her granddaughter–in–law. It’s in a Swiss
bank. Lu Ming will get it soon.”
My parents were also thrilled. They offered
40% of Su Corp’s shares as my dowry. The
dinner was a joyful affair. Afterward, Lu
Ming’s parents urged him to fly overseas to
buy an engagement ring and pick up the
bracelet. My parents rushed me off to choose
a wedding dress.
I finally found one I liked. As I was about to
pay, a woman’s voice cut through the air.
“I’ll take that dress.”
I turned to see Chen Yun and Han Xiaoxiao.
Han Xiaoxiao wore designer clothes, and
Chen Yun carried several luxury shopping
bags. It was clear they’d spent a fortune.
Chen Yun had always been frugal. During our
relationship, he was always careful with
money and never bought me anything
expensive.
