Chapter 879: An Old Friend (1)
Lu Xiangtian saw Zhao Youlin’s face suddenly turning extrely pale as soon as he finished speaking. His eyes turned slightly cold as he tentatively called out, “Ms. Zhao, Ms. Zhao.”
Zhao Youlin seed to have woken up from a dream. She subconsciously took two steps back. Suddenly, she didn’t know how to face this person.
“What... What’s wrong?”
Lu Xiangtian only thought that she was playing dumb. His face darkened slightly. He said coldly, “Ms. Zhao, I’ve already told you what you want to know. Now, can you thank
for missing my late wife and return that necklace to ?”
“Return it?” Zhao Youlin subconsciously retorted, “Even if that necklace is really your late wife’s legacy, that necklace belongs to
now. I’ll repeat the sa thing. I like that necklace very much and I’m not going to give it to anyone. Please don’t make this awkward.”
Zhao Youlin knew that her words were harsh and offensive, but she was past the point of caring. At this mont, her mind was a ss because of Lu Xiangtian’s previous words. She only thought that she absolutely couldn’t give the necklace to him... there was a photo of her and her birth mother in the necklace. She absolutely... absolutely couldn’t give the necklace to the person in front of her!
Lu Xiangtian didn’t expect Zhao Youlin to still hold on to the necklace. His face imdiately darkened. Just as he was about to make a move, Mu Tingfeng appeared at this mont!
Mu Tingfeng saw the extrely tense situation as soon as he got out of the car. Mu Tingfeng basically understood the situation without much thought.
He stepped forward and blocked Zhao Youlin behind him without leaving a trace. Mu Tingfeng turned his head and greeted Lu Xiangtian politely and curtly, “Hello, Mr. Lu. I didn’t expect to et you again in this place. We are really fated. I just don’t know why you are here this ti.”
Lu Xiangtian was not as patient as he was when facing Zhao Youlin when facing Mu Tingfeng. His face imdiately darkened. He sneered, “I’ve always co to look for Ms. Zhao concerning one single matter. It’s a pity that she has never been willing to help .”
Mu Tingfeng was not polite. After hearing Lu Xiangtian’s words, he imdiately retorted, “Since she’s not willing to help you, why do you have to force her?”
If it were any other ti, Lu Xiangtian might have had the patience to chat with Mu Tingfeng. However, this ti, Lu Xiangtian had opened up to Zhao Youlin. He thought that Zhao Youlin would relent because of this, but he did not expect to be rejected in the end, Lu Xiangtian’s patience had finally been exhausted.
The anger in his heart grew. He opened his mouth and said, “Ms. Zhao and I hit it off at first sight. I didn’t intend to forget my manners over this small matter, but Ms. Zhao doesn’t seem to appreciate it. So, don’t bla
for having to resort to other ans.”
......
“Are you threatening ?” Zhao Youlin cald down slightly and was angered by Lu Xiangtian’s words. She had fantasized about what her biological parents were like more than once. But she was sure that she definitely didn’t want people who threatened others with their lives to fill the void that had been hanging over her for more than 20 years.
“Ms. Zhao, you can think whatever you want. Regardless, I... must get this necklace!”
Zhao Youlin suddenly laughed when she heard that. Her smile was flamboyant, wanton, and even bitter. She looked at Lu Xiangtian with unprecedented disappointnt.
“Then let
tell you, this necklace is mine. I will never give it to anyone, not even you!” Zhao Youlin said as she glanced at Lu Xiangtian aninglessly, “Finally, I would like to give you another piece of advice. Mr. Lu, if you have ti to ask for the necklace from , why don’t you go back and see if your daughter is your biological daughter? Don’t end up raising soone else’s child. You may have loved soone else for so many years for nothing.”
When Zhao Youlin said this, not only Lu Xiangtian, but even Mu Tingfeng was stunned.
Lu Xiangtian was stunned. It took him a long ti to react. His face turned gloomy, and he asked coldly, “What do you an?”
He could tolerate Zhao Youlin’s retreat for the sake of the necklace, but he could not tolerate Zhao Youlin slandering his precious daughter.
“You just only said that the necklace on my body is your wife’s. If I rember correctly, your wife seed to have disappeared together with her daughter. In that case, shouldn’t the relic be in Miss Lu’s hands? Why did it fall into my hands instead? Don’t you find it strange, Mr. Lu?”
Mu Tingfeng’s expression changed when he heard Zhao Youlin say that her necklace was actually Lu Xiangtian’s wife’s relic. However, he rationally chose to remain silent at this mont. He planned to ask about the whole situation after Lu Xiangtian left.
Lu Xiangtian’s heart could not help but tremble when he heard Zhao Youlin’s words. In fact, he had once suspected Lu Shu’s identity before he recognized her, but the paternity test still gave him great encouragent. Now that Zhao Youlin said so... the suspicion that he had hidden in his heart secretly rose again.
Although Lu Xiangtian was suspicious, he still maintained a calm expression on his face. He said calmly, “Back then, although Shu’er left with my wife, due to so reasons, the mother and daughter were separated. Therefore, it’s not strange for her necklace to appear in your hands.”
Zhao Youlin’s eyes narrowed when she heard this. “Mr. Lu, do you really believe that?”
Lu Xiangtian looked at Zhao Youlin’s expression and suddenly felt a sense of uncertainty. He pursed his lips and did not say anything.
The expression on her face beca more and more sardonic. “What a coincidence. In fact, I didn’t buy this necklace from anyone. A friend of mine handed it down to . She told
that it was left behind by her mother and that there was a photo of her mother and her in this necklace.”
Zhao Youlin thought for a mont and continued to make up a half-lie, “She had to leave due to so matters, and it wasn’t safe for her to have this necklace with her, and she left it with
for keepsake. She also told
that if she didn’t co back in a few years, she might not co back in the future, so she gave this necklace to
as a nto of our friendship. My friend has not returned for many years, so I occasionally wear this necklace to think of her. Unexpectedly, it attracted your attention. So, who is the liar, your daughter, or my friend?”
