After being reborn as a rich and beautiful woman, she let herself go.

Chapter 53 Mr. Luo, are you in a bad mood?

The moment Hua Meimei saw Luo Jiuyu appear, she had an indescribable feeling in her heart.

I've never felt this way about him before.

Soft, heartbreaking, and pitiful.

From Luo Qingqing's mocking attitude towards him behind his back, one can imagine the ostracism and neglect he suffered in this family since childhood.

How painful must it have been to live such a repressive life in the Luo family for over a decade? How many decades does one have in a lifetime?

But if you met him in person, you would never associate these unfortunate experiences with him.

Because he was so dazzling, clean, and beautiful.

Like a lotus flower that grows in the mud but still strives to bloom gracefully upwards.

At this moment, Luo Jiuyu looked at her with unprecedented tenderness, his eyes shining like stars.

It even carried a hint of appreciation.

"Meimei, let's go home." He reached out his hand to her, a faint smile on his face.

Hua Meimei was stunned. Was she going to continue acting in front of Luo Qingqing?

Behind him came the sound of Luo Qingqing's hurried footsteps, followed by her barely suppressed anger.

"Luo Jiuyu, keep your woman under control, and don't let her out to bite people again!"

They were calling Hua Meimei a dog. Hua Meimei raised her eyebrows and smiled, completely unfazed, and pulled Luo Jiuyu toward the stairs.

“Honey, let’s go home and not bother with a female cockroach.” Hua Meimei continued to relentlessly attack Luo Qingqing’s sore spots.

The reason the other person was so angry was because she had called them as cheap as cockroaches.

No girl would be happy to be called a cockroach.

Luo Jiuyu retorted calmly, "Luo Qingqing, how come I never noticed before that when you're baring your teeth and claws, you look exactly like a cockroach crawling?"

"You... what did you say!" Luo Qingqing was stunned with anger and speechless for a moment, not knowing how to retaliate.

The first time I lost an argument!

She's always the one riding high on others and bullying them. Why is she the one getting trampled on today?

Luo Qingqing was so angry she wanted to scream, but the second floor was so close to the first floor that if she screamed, it would definitely cause panic among the elders.

In the end, she had no choice but to stomp her feet. She stomped the floor furiously!

Luo Jiuyu and Hua Meimei went downstairs, made an excuse, and left the Luo family.

Hua Meimei drove back again, as Luo Jiuyu had drunk some red wine and couldn't drive.

He sat in the passenger seat, occasionally glancing at her as she shifted gears.

"You drive very skillfully. Do you like this car?"

Hua Meimei drove this Volvo for the first time and was already quite proficient, showing good adaptability.

"I like it." Hua Meimei kept her eyes on the road ahead and drove attentively.

“It’s yours now,” Luo Jiuyu said.

At noon, he said he was tired of driving it and wanted to give it to her. She thought he was joking and just wanted to borrow it for a few days.

"You really gave it to me?" Hua Meimei smiled obsequiously. "My creditor is so generous, lending me money without charging interest and even giving me a car worth hundreds of thousands. What have I done to deserve such a good creditor?"

First, let's shower each other with compliments to express our feelings.

"If you behave well, I'll buy you an even more expensive car in the future." Luo Jiuyu said with a half-smile.

Hua Meimei blinked her big eyes, sensing something unusual.

"You're not trying to give me a car out of gratitude, are you?"

In front of Luo Qingqing, she didn't hesitate to tear off her mask and argue with Luo Qingqing for his sake, offending Luo Qingqing on their very first meeting.

Although she might not pay any price, she certainly wouldn't gain anything. In fact, she could have simply pretended not to hear anything and ignored Luo Qingqing's words.

But she couldn't do it at that moment.

She was angry and bothered by Luo Qingqing's arrogant mockery of Luo Jiuyu.

At that moment, she felt as if she really was Luo Jiuyu's wife, and that she had to fight to uphold her husband's dignity.

Upon hearing this, Luo Jiuyu turned her head to look at her, her gaze sharp, but she smiled faintly and said, "You're overthinking it."

"Oh, so you're just a rich idiot," Hua Meimei retorted mercilessly.

Luo Jiuyu was speechless after being rebuffed.

He adjusted his posture and began to close his eyes to rest.

Seeing that Luo Jiuyu didn't speak, Hua Meimei's lips curled up slightly, and she continued to concentrate on driving.

The two remained silent throughout the journey, but the atmosphere inside the car was not awkward; instead, it was warm and cozy.

This gave Hua Meimei the illusion that she and he could actually get along amicably until the day of their divorce.

There's no love or hatred between them, so why can't they be friends?

Back at Zhenlongtai, he and she took the elevator to the 12th floor together.

After the elevator doors opened, the two stepped out of the elevator one after the other.

Luo Jiuyu walked ahead, went to the front door to have her fingerprint scanned, and then opened the door.

"Meimei, you're back." The door across the hall opened, and Fei Chenfeng stood in the doorway, smiling at Hua Meimei.

Hua Meimei almost forgot that Fei Chenfeng had already moved in next door. He had just moved in, so she wasn't used to it yet.

Fei Chenfeng looked her up and down. She looked beautiful today, very feminine, elegant and pretty.

Hua Meimei, who was about to enter, turned to face Fei Chenfeng and asked, "Chenfeng, are you going out?"

Fei Chenfeng was wearing a sweater and casual pants, without a coat, and there was no trash in his hands.

It didn't seem like he was about to go out; it seemed more like he came out specifically to say hello to her.

"I heard you came home. I was wondering if you'd like to come over and have some snacks? I bought a lot of snacks. We have a projector at home, so we can watch a movie together."

When Hua Meimei heard that snacks and movies were a perfect match, her eyes lit up.

Luo Jiuyu gripped the doorknob tighter and tighter, his fingertips turning white. He lowered his voice and asked Hua Meimei, "Hua Meimei, are you coming in or not?"

Sensing Luo Jiuyu's displeasure, Hua Meimei assumed he was annoyed that she was taking so long to come in, so she took the initiative to close the door for him, leaving herself outside.

Then, she went to the apartment across the hall with Fei Chenfeng.

Inside room 1202, Luo Jiuyu faced the door, a lump in her throat, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Li Xiang heard the door close, but didn't see anyone come over, so she went over from the kitchen to take a look.

The tall and imposing Luo Jiuyu stood motionless across the hall, seemingly reflecting on his mistakes.

He had a very low aura, and he was dressed in all black, so he looked a bit scary, really scary.

"Sir, isn't Madam coming back?" Li Xiang asked softly.

They went out together, so why did only he come back?

Luo Jiuyu composed herself, took off her coat and hung it up, and changed into slippers instead of leather shoes.

"If you want to find her, go knock on the door across the hall." After saying that, Luo Jiuyu went back to her room.

Li Xiang simply said "oh" and didn't say anything more.

I was just asking casually; I didn't have any particular reason to go looking for Hua Meimei.

So, Li Xiang went back to the kitchen to continue cleaning the range hood.

After a while, Luo Jiuyu came out of the room, changed into a set of home clothes, and sat in the living room.

He turned off the living room lights and then turned on the projector that had been gathering dust in the living room for a long time.

Li Xiang softened her movements as she carefully observed his actions. She wondered to herself why the projector, which she hadn't seen used in the five years since she started working there, was now turned on tonight.

If he hadn't turned it on, Li Xiang wouldn't have known he had a projector at home.

I'm looking through the movie library, but I still don't know which movie to watch.

Watching a romance movie alone is too boring.

Watching horror movies? That's a bit boring.

Comedy movies? He doesn't like them. He thinks deliberately funny scenes are just silly.

A drama? I don't have the patience to watch it.

It's a suspense film, right? He's too smart; he can always guess the ending.

Anti-Japanese War Film?

It seems like this is the only one I can watch.

He randomly selected a film about the War of Resistance against Japan to play and ordered snacks for delivery from his phone.

Half an hour later, the deliveryman brought a large bag of snacks to his doorstep, and Li Xiang was puzzled when he took it.

Why did Luo Jiuyu, who never liked snacks, suddenly buy so many?

Are you going to retaliate by making up for all the snacks you didn't eat before?

"Sir, your snacks have arrived." Li Xiang carried the bag of snacks to the coffee table and put it down.

He hummed in agreement, his eyes still glued to the movie. He watched for half an hour, but not a single plot point had stuck with him.

But the Japanese soldiers' voices kept playing in my mind on repeat: "Baka yarou..."

Li Xiang hesitated for a moment, but out of concern for him, she still asked, "Sir, are you in a bad mood? Should I call your wife back to keep you company?"
