Lu Wanwan’s grip on her teacup loosened as she abruptly stood up.
“Auntie Qiu, who did you hear this from?” She didn’t know what tone she had used to ask the question.
That last sentence struck her mind like a bolt of lightning.
Qiu Wenpei wiped away her tears, “Miss Lu, please don’t blame me for only speaking up now. I just promised the old lady, and I really didn’t know if I should tell you. But I thought Mr. Gu should have the ability to protect you, and the old lady didn’t know, so that was my concern. Moreover, seeing Mr. Gu actually helping them, when I watched the news, the hatred in my heart…”
“Was it Grandma who told you?” Lu Wanwan felt a chill all over, the sudden revelation was too shocking for her.
Even though she disliked Lin Yu, she still called her Aunt Lin and reluctantly accepted her marriage to her dad.
“Miss Lu, please calm down a bit. The old lady was worried that you would do something irrational, so she repeatedly instructed me not to tell. Because there was no evidence, years had passed, and there was no evidence to prove it was her.”
Lu Wanwan sat down, as still as a statue, “Auntie Qiu, what else do you know.”
“Back when your mother was in the intensive care unit at the hospital, she was in a coma and never woke up. Before her death, that woman was the last one to see her. At the time, the old lady hadn’t even considered this possibility, but afterwards, that woman became your stepmother. Before the old lady fell ill, she overheard her on a phone call admitting to it. She watched your mother die with her eyes wide open, even telling her that she was pregnant with your dad’s child.”
Lu Wanwan bit her lip; she knew that Lin Yu was pregnant with the child before her mother passed away, but she had kept it a secret until then.
Later, she even preferred to have a miscarriage in order to frame Lu Wanwan, leading to her being unable to conceive after that miscarriage and utterly disappointing her father.
“That child, that child actually wasn’t your father’s,” Qiu Wenpei said indignantly, “The old lady said she heard very clearly that the child in her stomach belonged to the man on the phone. Back then, the old lady became so angry that she had an episode and fell down. That woman probably wasn’t sure how much the old lady had actually heard. Miss Lu, regardless of whether there’s evidence for this issue, I believe that the old lady wouldn’t make up such lies out of confusion. Watching her harm others while living so well off of your mother’s estate, I truly feel it’s unfair for the old lady and your mother. How could your father marry such a person, they’re not worth Mr. Gu’s help!”
Lu Wanwan’s lips were tightly pressed together, her fists clenched with so much force that her fingernails seemed to dig into her flesh.
“Thump, thump, thump.” Suddenly, there was a rapid knocking at the door.
Qiu Wenpei hurriedly wiped her tears and went to open the door.
“What’s this about, locking up so tightly during broad daylight when you know my hand isn’t convenient.”
Listening to her daughter’s complaint, Qiu Wenpei reminded her, “Ning Xiang, Miss Lu is here.”
Upon hearing that, Ning Xiang immediately ran over and knocked on the table with her still functional hand, “Lu Wanwan, right? Hey, you should compensate me for medical expenses, right? I heard it was a deliberate hit because of your family’s trouble.”
“Ning Xiang!” Qiu Wenpei slammed the table hard.
“What, she’s rich anyway. You’ve taken care of her Grandma for so long; it’s what she owes.” Ning Xiang said dismissively, “Isn’t her boyfriend generous? Why not ask for more, I’m a real victim here!”
