C3 In Exchange for Her
As soon as Chu Jinran returned home, Chu Zhenguo called her to kneel down with a cold expression on his face.
She bit her lips and straightened her back. She looked up at her father and asked, "Dad, Lu Chennian and I are not happy at all. I can only live a better life if we divorce him. You are my father. Don't you want me to live a happy life? "
As she spoke, she could not hide the hope in her eyes.
Deep down in her heart, she still hoped that her father would take her happiness more seriously than those benefits.
However, Chu Zhenguo fiercely slammed the table and said angrily, "You being able to marry him is your greatest happiness! Divorce is such a big matter, yet you did not discuss it with me and made the decision on your own. Truly a bastard!"
Chu Jinran closed her eyelashes, the last bit of hope in her heart shattered.
"Tell me honestly. How much property did Lu Chennian give you for your divorce?" Chu Zhenguo asked in a rough voice, his eyes staring at Chu Jinran.
The Lu family was rich enough to rival a country. If he gave any of it to Chu Jinran, it would be worth hundreds of millions. If he could get it, it would be a huge profit!
"Not a single cent. I will leave the house clean." Chu Jinran said calmly, shattering Chu Zhenguo's fantasy as well.
"Out of the house? You idiot, how can you agree to clear your body and leave your house?" Chu Zhenguo was so angry that he threw the tea set aside. He picked up the vines at the side and waved his hand to hit Chu Jinran.
He did not have any intention of restraining his strength. The whips hit Chu Jinran's body solidly. On Chu Jinran's snow white skin, traces of red and swollen appeared in the blink of an eye.
Chu Jinran did not dodge. Her eyes were red and she endured it as if she was torturing herself.
"Hubby, stop!" Zhou Yuxiu rushed out from the side and stopped Chu Zhenguo. She shouted, "What do you have to say that you can't talk properly? Why did you do it?"
Chu Zhenguo was furious and still pointed at Chu Jinran and scolded, "This kind of unfilial daughter, why should I keep her? "Just kill her!"
Zhou Yuxiu snatched the vine from Chu Zhenguo's hand and pulled him to Chu Jinran, shouting, "Go upstairs quickly. I will stop him."
Chu Jinran raised her hand to wipe away the tears that were about to fall from the corners of her eyes, turned around and wanted to leave.
Zhou Yuxiu hurriedly chased after and pulled Chu Jinran back, saying, "Don't go yet. Look at your wounds. Go, follow me upstairs to treat them."
Chu Jinran was grateful for her concern but still shook her head and said, "No need. I can go to the hospital myself."
Zhou Yuxiu did not agree and said, "How can I be at ease if you go to the hospital alone? Come upstairs with me."
She half dragged and half pulled and still brought Chu Jinran upstairs. She took out a medical kit to treat her wounds. The entire time, she asked for warmth and cared about her words like a loving mother.
Ever since she married Chu Zhenguo, although she had looked down on her daughter who was not related by blood, she had always been very careful on the surface. Although Chu Jinran was not very close to her, the relationship between the two could still be considered polite and gentle.
Now that Chu Jinran was cared for by her like this, she could not help but feel grateful and moved in her heart. Her eyes became even redder.
Zhou Yuxiu hugged Chu Jinran and comforted her. She asked her to take a bath and have a good rest. Tomorrow, Chu Zhenguo's anger would disappear.
Chu Jinran still wanted to leave but Zhou Yuxiu insisted and forced Chu Jinran to agree to stay here tonight.
Zhou Yuxiu left and only Chu Jinran was left in the room.
She hugged her knees and curled up on the sofa. The sadness and despair that had been suppressed in her heart finally rushed over without any fear.
Lu Chennian did not love her. He said that he hated her. Now, his father did not care about him at all.
In this world, was there anyone who loved him?
Chu Jinran buried her face in her knees. She suppressed her voice and held back her tears.
Beside the sofa, her phone suddenly vibrated. Chu Jinran was worried about what kind of work it was. She wiped away her tears and looked at her phone.
It was an entertainment message.
"The CEO of the Lu Corporation and the popular female star, Nian Shiya, are lovey-dovey shopping. They eat at the hotel and spend the afternoon together."
Chu Jinran froze. After a long time, she turned off her phone and continued to bury her head in her knees.
When it was night, Chu Jinran was scolded by Chu Zhenguo while eating in the restaurant. In the end, the family left unhappily. Chu Jinran returned to her room in anger. She did not eat much and her face was pale and haggard.
Zhou Yuxiu sent over some chicken soup and tried to persuade Chu Jinran to drink two bowls. Perhaps it was because she was full that Chu Jinran was tired and sleepy. A few minutes after Zhou Yuxiu left, she leaned on the sofa and fell asleep in a daze.
While she was half asleep and half awake, she vaguely felt someone carrying her. Immediately after, her body swayed as if she was in the car.
She was slightly startled awake, but her body was abnormally exhausted. Her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't open them at all, and her body was also inexplicably hot, causing her entire body to feel uncomfortable.
The shaking finally stopped. She was put down on a soft bed.
Chu Jinran subconsciously felt danger and uneasiness. After struggling for a while, she finally managed to recover some strength. She opened her eyes and saw her current situation clearly.
A completely unfamiliar room.
Chu Jinran forcefully supported her weak body and struggled to get out of the bed. Her body was extremely soft and she could not stand steadily at all. The moment her feet touched the ground, she fell to her knees. There was still a wave of heat flowing out of her body one after another.
She bit her lips tightly and endured these two feelings. She tried to stand up.
Crack - The door of the room was suddenly pushed open at this time. A short and fat bald man barged in.
Chu Jinran looked over with her eyelids propped up. She recognized that the person was President Liu who had molested her before. Her back immediately turned cold. She sensed the current critical situation.
She hurriedly wanted to get up to dodge but her knees were weak. Her body was as heavy as if it was filled with lead water. It was difficult for her to move and before she could stand up straight, she was already grabbed by President Liu's wrist.
She turned around and was pressed onto the bed by President Liu.
"Chu Jinran, my little heart, I have missed you for a long time!" As President Liu spoke, he leaned over and kissed Chu Jinran's face and neck.
