The 3 B's- Beauty, Brains and Bravery

Chapter 187: Lu Alix



Chapter 187: Lu Alix

Father Zhou watched his son kneeling on the ground weakening up silently.

For some unknown reason , he wasn't feeling even an ounce of sympathy for Zhou Che today. Zhou Zhichen's death day was the only memory floating in front of his eyes. The way Zhou Che had insulted the girl back then and how Mother Zhou had slapped her and blamed her for Zhou Zhichen's death was not something he could forget.

It was not that he wasn't at fault. At that time , his silence was his biggest sin. He didn't said a single word even when Zhou Che had yelled at the girl and had said that she deserved to die in the train incident in Country I.

Rong Xinghe had begged them to listen to her just once but they had refused.

He couldn't simply believe that his Zhou family had been so ungrateful to the girl who was actually trying to free their son from the shackles of drug addiction. The Zhou family had stooped so low that they had devalued the woman Zhou Zhichen valued the most till his last breath.

Zhou Che stood back on his feet and wiped his tears away after sometime. The man then looked at his father ,"I will confess everything to the police now. I was indeed the reason behind her brother's current situation and I deserve death for that."

"Sure. Go ahead and surrender.", the old man smiled sarcastically ,"But do you really think that Rong Xinghe will let you off the hook so easily ?"

Zhou Che looked at his father confusedly. What did he mean ?

"You have harmed her brother and his family. You have shot her at her weakest point. Law is the last thing she cares about currently. She is the Military Authority of this nation now and her contacts are way more broad and shady than before.

"Every member of the Zhou family has a sword hanging on his head at this moment. Our every action is being noticed. Her one move and the entire family clan will come to an end in seconds. Didn't you heard what she said in the hospital ?

"She may not use army for her personal problems but her powers are not limited to just the three mighty forces of Country X. She is not the 16 year old girl you lost the political debate against anymore. She is Military Chief Rong Xinghe now. Now , she is akin to a provoked tigress whose family has been hurt by you.

"If she decides to not involve the law in this matter , you will never be able to reach judiciary. Che , the moment she saw the accident footage was the moment you were no longer the owner of your own destiny. From this point onwards , she will write the future of the entire Zhou family.

"Even if we combine the powers of every family associated with ours , it is insignificant against the combination of Zhi , Lu and Su family backing her up. Not to mention , her real capabilities are beyond our imagination.

"Even if you want to die , she will decide that. Keep that in your mind.", Father Zhou reminded the young man.

Zhou Che remained silent after that and nodded his head. Even if Rong Xinghe wanted to strangle him to death , she had the right to do so. After all , she was being punished for the crime she had not even committed till now.

But he had his doubts regarding this accident. He could not remember the incident clearly. It was all a blur in his head. Although he had almost accepted that he was behind it , he was still unable to understand things completely.

But he had no way to get out of this. Evidence was already against him.

Meanwhile , entire Country X was in an uproar the next morning.

Every news channel of the country was reporting only one news. The destruction of Zhou Business Empire !

[ Biggest Digital Empire's downfall ! ]

[ Lu Corps bought 40 % of Zhou Corporation's shares while Zhi Corporations attacks the remaining 30 % ]

[ The Digital Paradise to turn into a basic Cooperative Firm : sources report ]

[ 70 % of the Zhou Corporation sold ! Who will be the next CEO ? ]

[ President Lu Wei or CEO Zhi Xi : Whom of the eight siblings will rule over the Zhou Corporations next ? ]

[ Is this the end of the 'infamous' Zhou Che ? ]

[ The Demolition of Zhou Empire : just a smart business or an internal battle? ]

[ The knock down of the Zhou Family , what is the story behind ? ]

This... was the trailer of Rong Xinghe's rage and it was already scary enough. As the Power of Attorney representative for both Zhi and Lu Corps , Rong Xinghe turned the entire Zhou Corporation upside down overnight.

But even so , the six men knew that the girl was yet to extinguish her complete anger. They knew that she wasn't completely satisfied. After all , the baby being safe didn't changed the fact that it had to still be a C-section surgery. It didn't changed the reality that Ningtao had suffered so much pain that she couldn't walk for at least one month.

The six men didn't bothered stopping her as well. They had provided her the liberty to plot revenge themselves and had no intention to take their words back. They knew that she was way more ruthless than all of them combined.

Rong Xinghe was looking at the beautiful and serene interaction between Ningtao and her daughter silently as she held the documents of share transferral in her hands.

Ningtao had just breastfed the baby and the little girl was tightly holding her mother's index finger with the full palm of her hand. The baby was recuperating moderately and the doctors were optimistic about Ningtao's situation as well. They were sure that she would be able to return back to acting after two-three months.

Ningtao was still feeling like everything was happening in her dreamland. She couldn't express the feeling of becoming a mother. It was such a unique and delightful experience. But for this happiness , she could thank only one person.

"Thank you , Xinghe.", the woman smiled at her sister-in-law sitting beside her on the stool.

Rong Xinghe smiled back ,"She is my niece as well , Mrs. Lu. I will protect her from now on."

"I know. By the way , what name have you thought for her ?"

"M..me ?", Rong Xinghe was shocked ," You are her mother. You and Bro Lu should decide..."

"And you are her Aunt. If anyone has the first right to claim her , it is you. This brat needed to sense her Aunt's touch to open up her eyes. She should be lucky enough to be named by you. Don't worry about Wei. I will handle him.", Ningtao smiled.

"Hmm...", Rong Xinghe silently thought for a name for few minutes before she finally came to a conclusion ,"What about Lu Alix ? "Alix" means dignified , persistent and brave. This girl has bravely fought her death and kept holding onto the persistence to survive."

"Welcome , Lu Alix !", Ningtao whispered softly in her daughter's ears without any second thought. This name was literally telling the story behind this baby's first war against death. And it was suggested by her lovely aunt. Could there be any other name more perfect than this one ?
