Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Lu Zhi said coldly.
“If you don’t care, then what if Yu Lingyu gives birth to the child?”
Would Shen Man have to silently endure Lu Tanshu’s extramarital affair and the illegitimate child?
Wasn’t this too unfair to her?
Besides…
Rumors about Shen Man being promiscuous and cheating on her husband within the Lu family were widespread.
But ever since she married into the Lu family.
She hadn’t seen Shen Man hooking up with any man, but Lu Tanshu had a whole string of mistresses!
She felt that this rumor wasn’t credible.
It must be Lu Tanshu who cheated on her and made a false accusation.
Therefore, she felt particularly sympathetic toward Shen Man
Lu Zhi furrowed his brows and said, “My father will take care of her.”
“Your father has been avoiding her until now and refuses to see her. Do you really think his evasive attitude is an attempt to solve the problem?” Jiang Yining asked.
Lu Zhi fell silent for a moment before he patted her head. “Yining, don’t worry about this. Just listen to me.”
Jiang Yining looked up and met his gaze for a moment. She said, “Lu Zhi, I can listen to you regarding Yu Lingyu’s pregnancy. However, I sincerely advise you to investigate your mother’s affair back then. Also, why does she treat both of your brothers like that…”
Before Jiang Yining could finish her sentence, Lu Zhi’s face darkened.
He clenched his fists and said, “Yining, don’t say anymore!”
Jiang Yining stopped talking.
Lu Zhi tried his best to hold back the anger in his heart. He said in a low voice, “I still have something to do. You can have dinner yourself.”
After saying that, he turned around and strode out.
Jiang Yining looked at his tall and tense figure. She didn’t know where the power came from.
She stood up and blocked in front of him.
Lu Zhi stopped in his tracks.
Jiang Yining mustered up her courage and said, “Lu Zhi, I know what I’m saying isn’t pleasant to hear. But if even I don’t dare to tell you, who else would dare to tell you? After getting along with your mother, 1 feel that she’s not as unbearable as the rumors say.”
“There must be something fishy about the truth back then. You’ve already been in a cold war with her for over a decade. If you don’t investigate this thoroughly, the rest of your life… You probably won’t reconcile with her either.”
“Please consider carefully. She’s not someone else. She’s the one who gave birth to you and gave you your life! Are you really not willing to spend some time to investigate the truth?”
“Even if it’s only one in ten thousand, there’s a chance that she’ll be misunderstood. As her son, don’t you feel guilty for treating her so coldly? Wouldn’t you be uneasy for the rest of your life?”
“Now that your father already has a woman outside, but your mother is still alone. Look at her, she’s at the prime of her life, but she’s trapped in the house and wasting her time. Don’t you think she’s pitiful?”
“Lu Zhi, I really don’t want to see you regret it. So, please consider my words seriously.”
Jiang Yining’s series of words caused veins to pop out on Lu Zhi’s forehead.
“What if I investigate and it’s true?”
“Even if it’s true, you’ve already accepted this fact for over a decade. It won’t cause you much loss.” Jiang Yining said firmly, “But if your mother is wronged, then the grievances she has endured for more than ten years… You should know better than I do.”
After saying that, Jiang Yining moved to the side.
She made way for him.
Lu Zhi stood rooted to the spot for a long time.
In the end, he still took a step and left.
Jiang Yining heard the sound of footsteps getting further and further away and slowly turned around.
She sighed.
She knew that Shen Man’s affair was a sore spot for Lu Zhi.
Even if he didn’t say it, she could feel it.
If this matter wasn’t thoroughly resolved, he would continue to suffer.
Therefore…
She wanted to use Yu Lingyu’s incident to settle this matter.
It wasn’t in vain for Shen Man to treat her so well.
Jiang Yining stayed in the study for a long time before she went downstairs.
The housekeeper stepped forward and asked, “Young Mistress, what would you like for dinner?”
“I’m not eating. Just bring me a bowl of the nourishing soup my mom made.”
“Yes.”
The housekeeper turned around and went to the kitchen.
Not long after, she returned.
She wasn’t the only one. Ye Xiaoxi was also there.
Jiang Yining gathered herself and asked, “Why haven’t you left yet?”
“I saw that the two of you didn’t look right, so I was afraid that you would quarrel. So I hid in the kitchen and deliberately delayed a bit.” Ye Xaioxi asked with concern, “Yining, are you alright?”
“What could be wrong? Even if my father-in-law really adds a new member to the Lu family, it won’t affect my status.” Jiang Yining said, “Don’t worry. I’ve already finished talking to Ah Zhi. Go home and be at ease.”
“Oh, then I can rest assured. Remember to drink the nourishing soup. I’ll leave first.”
“Okay.”
After bidding farewell to Jiang Yining, Ye Xiaoxi took out a bowl of soup.
She went to the hospital.
She was healthy, so why would she need to drink tonic soup?
She had specially brought so much for Yuan Xudong to drink.
In the ward.
Yuan Xudong watched as Ye Xiaoxi carried a thermos, placing it at the bedside, and asked, “What did you bring?”
“It’s nourishing soup. It’s for your body. You’ve lost so much blood and your body is weak. Coincidentally, Mrs. Lu made some nourishing soup for Yining, so 1 brought some for you.”
He thought, “Some? It seemed like she had brought an entire pot of soup.”
Yuan Xudong noticed the size of the thermos and couldn’t help but mutter in his heart.
Ye Xiaoxi ladled a bowl for him and said, “Hurry up and drink it. It’s still warm.”
Yuan Xudong took it, picked up the spoon, and took a sip.
Warmth spread in his stomach…
But there was an even warmer feeling in his heart
He looked at Ye Xiaoxi and said, “Thank you.”
“You’re my uncle. Why are you being so polite with me?” Ye Xiaoxi casually patted his shoulder.
Yuan Xudong’s eyes darkened.
Well…
She treated him so well because she only regarded him as her uncle.
If one day, she found out that he wasn’t her uncle, would she still treat him as well as she did now?
“Uncle, what are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and drink it.”
Noticing that he was staring at the air, Ye Xiaoxi couldn’t help but urge him.
Yuan Xudong looked up.
Ye Xiaoxi was stunned when their eyes met.
Why did she feel that her uncle seemed to have changed into a different person?
How strange…
She didn’t move, and Yuan Xudong didn’t look away either.
The two of them were very close.
The air flowed silently.
Just as they were staring at each other, Li Yu pushed open the door of the ward.
Noticing the ambiguous posture of the two people in the room, his expression tensed up.
He said, “Miss.”
Ye Xiaoxi snapped back to her senses and raised her hand awkwardly, wanting to scratch her head.
However, when her fingers touched the wound, she frowned in pain.
Li Yu walked up and grabbed her wrist as he said, “Don’t move.”
Ye Xiaoxi could feel the warmth of his fingertips. Her cheeks flushed slightly. “I’m used to it. I’ll take note of it.”
“Okay,” Li Yu responded in a low voice.
Yuan Xudong lowered his eyes and retracted his hand, continuing to drink the soup calmly..
