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

Chapter 16 None of Us Are Loved

Luo Jiuyu's body froze instantly.

Her hot lips, reeking of alcohol, kissed his.

Was it intentional, or was he genuinely drunk?

His mind went blank for a moment.

Just as he instinctively tried to push her away, she let go of him on her own.

"My shoe fell off." She pouted and walked away with a sob in her voice.

She sat down on the ground, picked up the fallen high heel, and put it on.

A chill ran down my backside; the ground was so cold.

She got up again and walked into the club.

He said irritably, "Come home with me."

Then, like carrying a sack of potatoes, he hoisted her onto his shoulder.

I drove her back to Zhenlongtai.

She fell asleep in the passenger seat the whole way.

His heart was in turmoil, filled with unease and frustration.

He hadn't even kissed the woman he liked before she stole his first kiss while she was drunk.

We're losing money, we're losing a fortune.

When they got home, he carried her into her room and threw her onto the bed.

He carried her all the way from the basement into the house. The room was warm, and his body immediately felt warm.

So he took off his coat first.

Looking down at her, he realized she was probably even hotter than him, likely due to the effects of alcohol.

If you're going to help someone, go all the way. If you're going to do something good, do it to the very end.

He bent down to help her take off her high heels and coat.

"Hehe, hello there." Hua Meimei suddenly opened her eyes and looked at her, smiling intoxicatingly.

Her rosy cheeks made her look like a pink doll.

"I told you my grandparents would come to see you tomorrow, but you're drunk like this!" He placed his hands on either side of her head, looking at her with a hint of anger.

"Shh, don't talk." She put a finger to her pouting lips and scolded playfully.

"what?"

“You look ugly with that fierce look. Smile, smile!” She touched the corner of his lips, trying to make him smile.

"Berry, you have such a low alcohol tolerance, yet you dare to drink so much to show off?"

“I’m not Berry Berry, I’m not…” She frowned and shook her head back and forth.

"Go to sleep." He pressed her head down and helplessly pulled the blanket over her.

Talking to a drunkard is like casting pearls before swine.

waste time.

“We are all girls no one loves, and we can only befriend loneliness…” She lay on her side, closed her eyes, and a layer of sadness covered her eyelashes.

He stared at her like that, lost in thought.

We... are unloved.

A thought struck him, and he gently wiped away a tear that was welling up in the corner of her eye.

As he left her room, his frustration dissipated somewhat, but he felt no sleepiness whatsoever.

He walked to the French windows in the living room and stood there. When he came in, only the light in the entryway was on; the living room lights were off.

The room was dimly lit, yet filled with an atmosphere of tranquility.

The river view at night is still magnificent, only the cruise ships are no longer passing by.

In countless such dark nights, he had asked himself why no one loved him.

He cannot choose his birth, but he can strive to choose the direction of his life.

Today, Huanyu Group's business is booming, and he owns more and more.

It's time to completely part ways with the Luo family.

Just as he was about to put his plan into action, Hua Meimei was brought into his life by the Luo family.

She, this uninvited guest, barged into his life and disrupted his plans.

He had no choice but to wait and see, and continue to conceal his identity as the big boss of Huanyu Group.

He considered this marriage a way of repaying his grandparents for their kindness towards him. They were getting old, and he didn't want to hurt them.

The next day is Saturday.

Even though the company wasn't open for work, and she was drunk, Hua Meimei still remembered that she wanted to sleep in on the weekend.

After Luo Jiuyu finished washing up, she came out of her room and saw Li Xiang, so she asked, "Where's Hua Meimei?"

"Madam hasn't gotten up yet," Li Xiang said with a smile.

Hua Meimei moved out and then came back home after ten days, leading Li Xiang to believe that their relationship had warmed up.

"My grandparents will be coming over at noon, Aunt Xiang, please prepare more dishes," Luo Jiuyu instructed.

Li Xiang nodded, "I'm going out to buy groceries now."

There is a large shopping mall near the residential area, which is also owned by the Luo family.

Luo Jiuyu suddenly remembered something and called out to Li Xiang, "No, Hua Meimei and I will go buy it."

"Huh?" Li Xiang was stunned.

He's never bought groceries before, how would he know what to buy? Li Xiang was a little worried.

However, perhaps Hua Meimei knows how to buy groceries.

Li Xiang didn't say much, after all, it was good for the young couple to go grocery shopping together, which could strengthen their relationship.

Luo Jiuyu turned and went into Hua Meimei's room.

She was lying sprawled out on the bed, fast asleep, her hair a complete mess, like a bird's nest.

Luo Jiuyu shook her head in disgust and gently nudged her: "Hua Meimei, wake up, come with me to buy groceries."

Hua Meimei mumbled a few inaudible words in her sleep, then turned over and continued sleeping.

Luo Jiuyu tightened her grip and pulled her up to sit up: "Get up quickly, Grandpa and Grandma are coming at noon, we need to go prepare the ingredients."

Hua Meimei groggily opened her eyes, her gaze filled with confusion and drowsiness: "Buying groceries? I don't know how..."

Luo Jiuyu frowned: "You have to go whether you know how or not. Get up and get ready quickly."

Hua Meimei reluctantly sat up, her hair now a mess, resembling a bird's nest. Rubbing her eyes, she complained, "Why did you wake me up so early? I'm so sleepy. My head hurts..."

"Will you continue to drink so much alcohol in the future?" he scoffed.

"Ugh—" she rubbed her eyes, "How did I get back here?"

"I brought you back."

"You went all the way to Apollo to pick me up?" She pointed to herself. "How did you know I was at Apollo?"

"I also know that you almost kicked He Dalang's head to pieces," Luo Jiuyu said coldly.

"Who is He Dalang?" She scratched her head, feeling dizzy and uncomfortable, and couldn't remember for a moment.

“It’s 9 o’clock now. My grandparents will arrive at 12 o’clock. We still have three hours to buy groceries and cook.”

"Oh... these things can be left to Aunt Xiang."

He raised his hand and twitched his brow. "Since this is their first visit, you, as their granddaughter-in-law, need to show some sincerity."

She looked embarrassed: "Big brother, I can't cook. You're not expecting me to cook for them, are you?"

"Come with me to buy groceries." He didn't care.

He urged her to quickly wash up and then head out to the shopping mall near the neighborhood.

Along the way, Hua Meimei kept yawning, pulling the grocery cart behind with her head drooping.

Luo Jiuyu walked too fast, and sometimes she would fall far behind, forcing him to stop and wait for her.

Upon arriving at the fresh produce section of the mall, Luo Jiuyu looked at the dazzling array of vegetables and felt somewhat at a loss.

Although Hua Meimei wasn't very good at grocery shopping, she mustered her spirits and said, looking at Luo Jiuyu, "Tell me what your grandparents like to eat. Buy them by category: meat, vegetables, and fruit."

After thinking for a moment, Luo Jiuyu said, "Grandpa likes to eat braised pork, and Grandma likes to eat stir-fried lotus root slices."

Hua Meimei nodded, went to the corresponding stall, and began to select items.

She carefully examined each wet, soil-covered lotus root, muttering to herself, "This one doesn't look very fresh, maybe it's one of the leftovers from yesterday. That one looks pretty good..."

He noticed that all the lotus roots looked pretty much the same. He wondered how she could tell which were good and which were bad.
