Chapter 39: Not Divorced
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Luo Hao’s words were cruel enough. In the original Luo Ying’s eyes, this father was only busy with his business. When she was very young, he never took notice of her and her brother. He only had eyes for her stepmother and step-sister. In the end, when they grew up, things go to the point where her brother was forced to run away from home. Since then, there had been no news of him.
For the sake of the company’s interests, the original Luo Ying was even forced to marry Lu Zhao, whom she didn’t like, causing her a lot of pain.
However, Luo Ying had read the novel, so she knew very well that Luo Hao was simply a father who didn’t know how to express his feelings. He actually doted on his son and daughter, but he didn’t know how to express his good intentions at all. Every time he said something, it would cause a quarrel between the two sides.
The reason he was in such a hurry to marry the original to Lu Zhao was because he knew that he was sick, so he wanted to help the original Luo Ying find a good home. Then, he rushed to start the cooperation project with the Lu family, so that she and her brother could have more capital to establish themselves.
Unfortunately, the original Luo Ying never learned about his good intentions. Instead, she was forced to walk on a different path. In his rush, Luo Hao made a critical mistake, bringing the company to ruin. His illness worsened, and he was eventually confined to the bed. After hearing the news of the original Luo Ying’s death, he passed away from the shock.
Luo Ying decided to go back.
“Where’s Lu Zhao?” Luo Hao poked his head out from the living room. When he saw that she was alone, he immediately frowned.
Luo Ying took off her coat and handed it to a servant. “Didn’t I tell you? He’s on a business trip abroad.:
Luo Hao was very unhappy that Lu Zhao didn’t come. “Then, call him!”
“Right, right.” Luo Ying took out her phone and made a video call, but no one picked up. Only then did she realize that Lu Zhao hadn’t replied to the photo she had just sent.
Luo Ying couldn’t help but mumble in her heart. He had not replied to her messages, and he was not answering her video calls. Was Lu Zhao angry? Had she misspoke, last night?
Seeing that there was no response from his phone, Luo Hao put his hands on his waist. “What’s wrong? Did Lu Zhao coincidentally stop accepting video calls?”
Her stepmother, Liao Hong, who was sitting at the side, echoed, “Yingying, you don’t have to be sp stubborn. Our family isn’t an open-minded family, but you got divorced, not long after you got married. It’s not a good look for you, a lady.”
Luo Hao’s anger rose to another level after being provoked by her. “She doesn’t know what’s good for her! She doesn’t even know how to appreciate someone like Lu Zhao, and she still wants to be a superstar!”
The two of them didn’t seem to understand human language. If Luo Ying didn’t care about Luo Hao’s love for his daughter, would she have put up with them for so long?
“I told you, we’re both fine. We’re not divorced!”
“Sister, you don’t have to worry. Even if you’re divorced and have nowhere to go, our family will always open the door for you.” His stepsister, Luo Wan, came down the stairs.
Luo Wan was certain that the two would definitely get a divorce. After all, she had specially inquired about it. Lu Zhao had seen Luo Ying and Lin Su’s confession scene and was threatened by Luo Ying to a divorce, over the edge of a rooftop.
She found it impossible for Lu Zhao to keep up with her.
Luo Ying couldn’t help but roll her eyes. This mother-daughter pair was determined to confirm her divorce with Lu Zhao. She spread her hands and said, “Yes, yes, yes, Lu Zhao and I are really going to get a divorce. We’ve even prepared the divorce agreement. When he comes back from his business trip, he’ll sign it immediately.”
Before the mother and daughter could celebrate, Luo Hao stood up with a gust of wind, pointed at her and scolded her, “I told you that the project was going well. Why didn’t the Lu family show any signs of pulling out? I’ve long guessed that there was a problem on your side, but whenever I asked you about it, you always evaded the question!
“How old are you this year? Don’t you know how to think for yourself? Are you still thinking about Lin Su? Let me tell you this, unless I’m dead, you can forget about being with Lin Su, for the rest of your life!”
Luo Hao was so angry that he sat back down with his hand clutching his chest. Liao Hong quickly patted his chest and advised him, “Yingying, it’s not that I want to criticize you, but if the Lin family’s kid likes you too, your father and I will take your childhood friendship into consideration and permit it. But look at that Lin family brat, he’s so haughty. He’s never had you or the Luo family in his eyes, but you still had to go after him. You offended the Lu family and caused the company to get into trouble now. Do you really want to drive your father to his grave…?”
Before Liao Hong could finish her accusation, the servant at the door suddenly shouted, “Mr. Lu is here!”
