Chapter 66: Chapter 66 After Running Away, the Disabled Tycoon Stopped Pretending 28
Mingzhu slept very soundly, snuggled up with Qingyuan, both with their eyes closed, only Qinghe moved slightly.
After she left, the ones she was most concerned about were these three children. The three of them were still so young, just born, all flesh and blood from her own body.
It was just a pity that she was afraid she wouldn’t hear the soft calls of “Mommy” from the children.
She still had to leave, after all!
Lu Peijin went out for a while in the afternoon, and by evening, Su Zhiruan’s mobile phone showed an additional asset—fifty million!
This amount was more than what had been agreed upon in the contract. Su Zhiruan looked at the long string of zeros with complicated feelings.
She sent a message to Lu Peijin, and the reply she got was that since she had given birth to three children at once, naturally the money would be more too.
Mingzhu, Qingyuan, Qinghe, the three infants, as children of the Lu Family, naturally didn’t need Su Zhiruan’s personal care. The Lu family patriarch had specially hired three maternal and child care experts to look after the children and arranged for Su Zhiruan to stay in the best postpartum care center for top-notch recovery treatment.
Although Su Zhiruan had the System Newbie Gift Package to restore her health, in order not to draw attention, she accepted the Lu family patriarch’s suggestion and moved into the postpartum care center.
During this time, the entire upper-class circle was almost exploding.
Those Misses who had given up on Lu Peijin as a marital prospect, thinking he was disabled and regretting their decision till their guts turned green, were now all choosing to play dead. They wouldn’t step outside their front doors for fear of retaliation or ridicule after having previously mocked Lu Peijin behind his back as nothing but a cripple with a handsome face.
Countless noble misses were ready to engage, deciding to rekindle a relationship with Lu Peijin. However, it was then they discovered that Gu Baicha, the Gu Family’s young Miss who had always chased after the icy Lu Peijin, had given up on him at some unknown point.
Without asking, they wouldn’t know, but once they did, it scared them to their core.
He was now the father of three children!!
This bombshell news nearly shocked everyone.
Secret marriage and children, father of triplets!
Either of these labels, when placed upon Lu Peijin, would make anyone who saw or heard about it exclaim, “Absurd!”
The once celestial, icy-faced Lu Peijin, who emanated a cold aura and was seen as heartless and cruel, was now a father to three!
When this news spread, it nearly knocked people out cold.
The most affected were the employees and shareholders of Lu Peijin’s company; they watched as over the course of a month, the former President Lu Peijin became a charismatic and lively real man.
Especially the old shareholders who had watched Lu Peijin grow up were moved to tears.
They had watched him grow from a thorny little boy into a tall man void of emotion and family affection, who cared about nothing. After he became disabled, they saw his expression become increasingly gloomy.
But now, perhaps ice can also melt, and sometimes, when the shareholders were reporting documents or during big meetings, they could even glimpse a smile on Lu Peijin’s face.
Although it was only for a brief moment, it was enough to astonish everyone.
Could this be the power of family?
Having a woman and children turned such an indifferent and unfeeling man into an ordinary man with a silly smile.
The shareholders murmured in amazement, and the employees looked for every chance to catch a glimpse of their boss, knowing that any snapshot uploaded online would instantly go viral.
In the past, when Lu Peijin was in a wheelchair, many media outlets feared the power of the Lu Family and dared not take pictures of him in his wheelchair. If they were to be released and subjected to online mob justice, their entire company wouldn’t be able to escape!
But now, with features as exquisite as a painting, the handsome Lu Peijin of the Lu Group, the successor of the Lu Family, and a distinguished representative of young talents, would cause countless people to swoon and shout ‘husband’ even if just a simple photo of him was released.
While exercising at the postnatal care center, Su Zhiruan looked up and saw a financial interview playing on the TV mounted on the wall.
The newbie mothers around her, while moving, whispered among themselves, with every word reaching Su Zhiruan’s ears.
“Look, look—this is the Lu Peijin, President Lu I was telling you about, gosh! So handsome!”
“Wake up, wake up, if Young Master Song hears his Madam here sighing over another man, you won’t be able to get out of bed when you get home!”
“What can you do! This is Lu Peijin; who knows who has the good fortune to marry him, that’s just too lucky, waking up to see this handsome face first thing in the morning! My god!”
“I heard that the next head of the Lu Family has become a father, I wonder who bore him a child! Seriously! So protected that not a whisper of it got out, could it really be as the rumors say—a secret marriage with a child…”
“Ruanruan! What do you think?”
Suddenly called out by a woman beside her, Su Zhiruan gave a compliant smile, “I think—you all are right!”
“Ruanruan! I’m telling you, I’ve seen him in person, the real Lu Peijin is even more handsome! When I saw him in a wheelchair, I felt it was such a pity, so handsome, definitely a waste not to be a star!”
A secret feeling began to grow in Su Zhiruan’s heart…
The newbie mothers doing yoga started to discuss Lu Peijin, including what he looked like when he woke up in the morning, and what he was like at home.
With every word they said, a corresponding image appeared in Su Zhiruan’s mind.
They chattered away, utterly unaware that the subject of their gossip was right there, standing with them.
Thinking quietly to herself, Su Zhiruan wondered if they would be shocked to learn that the Lu Peijin they were talking about came to the postnatal care center every evening and was always eager to cuddle up with her, help her feed the baby, and take care of the child.
As she thought this, a woman suddenly pointed towards the door and exclaimed, “Really, really! I saw him when my husband and I were at a banquet, Lu Peijin is incredibly handsome—look! He’s almost as handsome as the young man waiting at the door!”
Her voice was so loud that everyone, including Su Zhiruan, turned towards the door.
Of course, they did not know!
The man being compared to Lu Peijin was Lu Peijin himself!
Su Zhiruan’s heart skipped a beat as she saw the young-looking man at the doorway, wearing a mask and scanning the crowd with a confused look before his gaze settled on her.
Su Zhiruan quickly stopped her exercise and said to everyone, “I, my husband is here for me, you guys go ahead and chat.”
After saying that, she walked out, taking Lu Peijin with her towards their room.
As she was stepping out of the door, she could still hear the group of women talking.
The last thing she heard was them saying, “… if he’s as handsome as Ruanruan’s husband! Then this Lu Peijin is really handsome indeed!”
Lu Peijin obediently let her lead him back to their suite.
He found this experience quite enjoyable, happiness welling up inside him.
However, the next sentence that Su Zhiruan uttered would chill him to the core!
