The CEO’s Lovely Wife - Chapter 283
The sudden outburst from Lexus turned all the people in the room dumbfounded. How can someone say something like that without getting embarrassed at all. He said that with all conviction with a hint of proud look flashing on his eyes. It was childish.
‘Shameless.’ The three thought.
As if that was not enough, Lexus turned to October with eyes that was about to burst into tears, as if he was bullied.
“My wife, I was sexually harassed by that strange thing.” He told. “That icky feeling of something touching my jade-like face felt like bird shit dropping on my face. It was disgusting.”
‘Strange thing? Icky feeling? Bird shit?’ Lu Xing felt like her face was slapped continuously until it got so swollen. Her pride for her beauty and prestigious background crumbled to dust. ‘Many suitors lined up in front of my family’s mansion, some would even just be satisfied from just a fleeting glance from me. Yet he said I am disgusting?’
October furrowed her brows. She saw what happened that she forgot to even blink. She was furious. No! Furious is an understatement. She wanted to run to that vixen and pull her hair off.
The tingling sensation on October’s hands were overwhelming that she could hardly suppress the shaking of it. But what was more important now was to clean her husband.
“Assistant Yu.” October called, her voice soft yet clear enough to be heard by everyone. They could not help but notice the eeriness of her calm voice.
With agile and swift movements, Assistant Yu pulled out a handkerchief and offered it to October with both hands. However, October still did not get the handkerchief but instead continued to say, “Alcohol.”
Feng Yu and Lu Xing had question marks over their head. They wondered why she was asking for some alcohol all of a sudden.
Assistant Yu was bewildered by this too but he still complied. He called for the little assistant that was silently eating melons in the corner to get some alcohol. Then handed it to October.
Under the confused gazes of all, October sprayed some alcohol on her hands first then to Lexus’. She grabbed the handkerchief and sprayed a little bit of alcohol on it and started to wipe Lexus’ cheek before wiping his whole face. But she did not stop there. She proceeded to spray some alcohol on his coat with an annoyed face.
“Tsk. Why did you even get yourself surrounded by dirty pests? If I am not here, who would clean you up like this ?” October grumbled with an annoyed voice. It was as if the two of them were the only ones there. “Hubby, you should make sure not to be near with pests especially when I am not here with you.”
Feng Yu at first did not care about the word “pests” but as she heard it again coming out of October’s mouth, she felt the prickling feeling. This made her realized that the “pests” October was talking about was her and Lu Xing.
She was furious.
“You–!” Feng Yu pointed her fingers at October. She had never been humiliated like this before ever since she was the madam of the Song family.
‘How dare this stinky woman label me as a pest?! Pest? Me?’
“You insolent uneducated woman!” Feng Yu pointed at October with eyes burning with flames. “How dare you act so shamelessly in front of me? You dare to even seduce my grandson that he even got the nerve to talk back to me?”
“Feng Yu! You dare point my wife with your finger?” Lexus slapped the hand that was pointing on October away. He was pissed at Feng Yu. He did not care about her before but now, he could not turn a blind eye anymore.
“Ow! Wha-? You–Lexus, you even raised your hand against me?” Feng Yu could not believe that her hand was just slapped by him. “Just for that slut?”
“What? What did you say?” Lexus took off his coat, threw it on the floor and loosen his tie. We walked to Feng Yu with steady steps, eyes glowering in menace, a vicious beast that was awoken from its slumber, ready to pounce on its prey.
“Say that again. Do you think that I won’t touch you? What? Are you that confident that you have that old man’s back? How long do you think that will last?”
“A-are you threatening me? Even though we’re not related by blood, I raised your father and even looked after you.” Feng Yu’s voice quivered. The deep look that Lexus was giving her was so dark that was silently growling at her giving her shivers of fear.
Lexus snorted. He could not believe what this woman was spouting. “Are you mentally challenged? Dementia maybe? Yeah, I guess you do have that.”
“Ha!” Feng Yu felt the back of her head. She was so upset, frustrated, to the point that she had the urge to vomit blood. The metallic taste was already spreading in her mouth.
Lu Xing, after seeing that her backer was having a hard, reluctantly took a step. She has to curry favor to Feng Yu in order for her to get close with Lexus. At least, that was what she thought.
“Stop it. You’re bullying grandma.” Lu Xing said as she shielded Feng Yu from Lexus. “She’s here to visit you personally because she misses you and yet this is what you say? Show some respect to her. Give some face to me, the Lu family.”
“Xing’er.” Feng Yu felt touched.
“I don’t show respect to people, don’t talk to random unrelated people like Feng Yu, so who are for me to show you some face?” He said. Noticing that she was just a few feet away from her, he immediately took a huge step back to distance himself from her with an undisguised look of disgust on his face.
“You, get out.”
“No.” Lu Xing had already lost face again and again but still swallowed her fear and stood. “Brother Lexus, how could you do this? You don’t even give face to my Lu family. Are you looking down on us?”
“Get out.”
Assistant Yu went to Lu Xing and gestured for her to get out but was completely ignored.
“Brother Lexus, you don’t have to offend us this way. What? Just for the sake of this woman?” She said, eyes sparkling with pearl-like tears while looking at October and her belly.
“She just up and came with her belly pregnant. If you want a child, I can bear it for you. With me as your wife and the baby of your child, you’ll never regret anything. I can even help you with your business. My family can help. Brother Lexus, take me instead.”
Assistant Yu and the little secretary beside him had their eyes went wide like saucers. He met a lot of shameless people like his boss but he never thought that Lu Xing was at the top of all shamelessness. He could not believe what he was hearing at all.
“Someone’s asking for death.” Assistant Yu prayed for Lu Xing’s soul to be reincarnated peacefully.
“What?” Little Assistant turned to Assistant Yu but he just shook his head.
“I know you both got drunk and played in bed. I know you got together because of the baby. Brother Lexus, wake up. You don’t love her. It’s just to take responsibility to the child in her belly.” Lu Xing slowly took a step forward to Lexus and continued, “Brother Lexus, I am a woman you won’t be ashamed of. I am beautiful, smart, witty, and kind. I am the cherished daughter of the Lu empire. I am the mother and you the father of our child, our children will be the most prestigious child of all cities.”
“Wha-” October stepped forward, no longer able to stop from speaking up but was stopped by Lexus. He shook her head at her, worried. He would not take the risk of harming his wife and daughters.
Lexus turned to Lu Xing, looked at her up and down and snorted.
“What are you laughing at?” Lu Xing asked as her face turned bright red when he saw Lexus looking at her. Her heart was beating loudly in her chest. She twirled her hair and tucked it behind her ear.
“Maybe it is as you have said. I won’t deny it, However, the moment I laid my eyes on her, with her sundress on as she went out of the room we shared, I saw a glowing woman full of charisma, confidence, self-respect, and also the glowing look of a woman. She was the most beautiful.” He said, a smile so soft playing at the corners of his lips.
“You say that you’re smart. However, you didn’t use that brain of yours to work. My woman, my wife, on the other hand, worked hard from the lowest level and climbed through the ranks of executives all on her own without any backing. And family background? Don’t make me laugh. You don’t deserve to know. You’re too insignificant for that family to even turn to look at you.”
October silently listened to all the things that Lexus was professing. It was a bit embarrassing but it also made her so happy so could cry. The wide back of the man was so reliable that she could not stop from embracing him, a tear escaping her eye. This man gave her warmth, love. She felt safe.
This man named Lexus Song was her husband.
“You know, you’re so cool right now.” She mumbled.
“I know.” Lexus smirked, a proud look on his face. After saying that, he turned his attention back on Lu Xing.
“Your name was Lu Xing, right? Let me summarize what I’ve said to you for you to understand.” He started, shoving his hand in his pocket, “You can’t compare to her at all. Even a percentage of her is too much. All in all, you’re nothing but a spoiled…insignificant…brat.”
Lu Xing felt her heard getting ripped out of her chest and got stabbed by millions of knives. She could no longer take the resounding slap of humiliation from the person that she loved. Her heart was broken.
Tears streaming down from her eyes, Lu Xing run out of the office.
