400: Chapter 399: Don’t Even Think About Entering the Lu Family’s Door!
In the hospital room.
Fang Youlan sat on the hospital bed, angrily pointing at Lin Xia, who was holding a bowl of porridge, and yelled, “I won’t eat your food!
Get out!
I don’t want to see you!”
If it weren’t for Lu Qing going to fetch hot water, there wouldn’t be anyone else in the room, and she really didn’t want to speak a word to Lin Xia!
Lin Xia frowned sheepishly, “Grandma Lu!
What happened yesterday was my fault!
I’m here to apologize!
Please, as a superior, overlook the errors of a lesser person like !
I genuinely didn’t know your heart was in such bad condition!
Otherwise, I would have endured whatever you said!”
Lin Xia actually didn’t want to humble herself and apologize to the old lady like this.
But after thinking it over last night, she couldn’t completely dissociate herself from the old lady’s hospitalization.
Since the old lady had seed quite healthy upon her arrival, it was very likely her condition had been triggered by the agitation Lin Xia caused!
To express her apology, she had gotten up early to make the porridge, even adding plenty of red dates and goji berries.
Fang Youlan lifted her chin proudly and scoffed, “Lin Xia!
You truly live up to being a petty trader, with such a glib tongue!
You are apologizing now, but what about your audacity yesterday?
Why don’t you show that now?”
She felt suffocated just thinking about how she, at her age, had been rendered speechless by a young girl.
Never in her life had Fang Youlan felt such humiliation!
She would definitely not forgive Lin Xia!
And Lin Xia should forget about entering the Lu Family’s door!
Lin Xia suppressed her discomfort, “Grandma Lu!
At that ti, we were both caught up in the mont…
I really…”
Seeing the old lady’s face grow even darker, she quickly changed her words, “In any case, I was truly in the wrong…
Please don’t be angry!
I spent a long ti making this porridge…”
Looking at the old lady’s sickly face, Lin Xia dared not say another word.
If she argued with the old lady and upset her again, she wouldn’t be able to explain herself to anyone.
“Take it away!” Fang Youlan snorted coldly, “I’m telling you!
Lin Xia!
The fact that you nearly killed with anger, Xiaozheng doesn’t know yet because he’s on a business trip!
When he finds out, he will definitely bla you!
Whenever that happens, I am still his grandmother, and he is my grandson!
You, a little street vendor trying to climb the social ladder, forget about entering the door of my Lu Family!”
She just didn’t believe it!
No matter how much Lu Zheng liked Lin Xia, could he really have no objections?
Lin Xia gazed down at the white porcelain bowl in her hands, filled with thick rice porridge, and murmured with a slight curve of her lips, “That’s right!
He is your grandson!”
She knew that anyone would have thoughts and opinions in such a situation.
Lu Zheng would be no exception.
His blaming her was normal!
She didn’t feel wronged because, after all, the facts were evident.
But just the thought of Lu Zheng blaming or reproaching her caused her heart to ache slightly.
Who could she share her grievances with?
Who had she provoked?
Was it just because she was dating a man whose social status didn’t match hers?
How did she beco a little vendor trying to climb the social ladder?
Fang Youlan saw Lin Xia’s suppressed anger and the sadness on her face, which made her feel exceptionally pleased; the bold and articulate person from yesterday had wilted today.
Fang Youlan smiled triumphantly, “Furthermore, Lu Zheng’s mom is on her way here!
Lu Zheng’s dad must also know about my hospitalization by now!
Don’t think that because Lu Zheng’s dad seems to approve of your relationship, you can be complacent!
When he finds out, will he continue to think highly of you?
Dream on!
Whatever I’ve done, I’m still his real mother!
Could he actually take your side over mine?”
Shao irou, as a daughter-in-law, normally rushed over at this ti.
The future mother-in-law didn’t think highly of her, so Lin Xia felt no psychological drop-off.
But when she thought of Lu Zheng’s father, that very charming handso uncle, her heart couldn’t help but sink.
Perhaps there was no future for her and Lu Zheng!
At that mont, the door of the hospital room was suddenly kicked open with a loud “bang!”
Fang Youlan and Lin Xia both instinctively looked towards the entrance.
They saw Lu Qing carrying a thermos, her face complex, standing next to a furious, handso middle-aged man!
“Pengcheng!” Fang Youlan did not expect her son to suddenly arrive, and she was flustered for a mont.
She didn’t know how long he had been standing outside the door or how much of their conversation he had overheard!
Lu Pengcheng strode into the hospital room, glanced at Lin Xia and nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to his mother, his eyes filled with disappointnt and mockery.
“Just now, I heard from outside you speaking with such vigor, it seems your health isn’t in trouble at all!”
It turned out all his worries were unnecessary.
Moreover, it was only today that he realized his mother had always believed that no matter what she did, he would forgive her, just like back then!
He hated himself imnsely, wishing he had been cruel enough to leave everything behind back then.
Fang Youlan slightly avoided his sharp gaze.
“Pengcheng!
I was just agitated by anger when I said those things!
You don’t understand the situation, Lin Xia angered yesterday and I nearly had a heart attack and almost didn’t get to see you all again…”
Her heart was uneasy, not knowing if her son would recall the past because of the words he heard.
Ever since that woman left angrily, it had been so many years, and her eldest son had also been distant from them.
Seeing him no more than a few tis within a year, and even then, it was only for a al and a few words.
“Would this situation have happened if you had just stayed at ho?”
Lu Pengcheng did not need to guess the reason behind his mother’s actions.
It was nothing but her trying to use the old tricks she played on Xinyan on Lin Xia.
“Are you saying it’s my own fault?” Fang Youlan was extrely saddened, her own son speaking to her like this!
Lu Qing felt sorry for her grandmother and tried to explain, “Uncle!
Grandma just wanted to check out Lin Xia’s family ho!
It’s all a misunderstanding…”
Lu Pengcheng waved his hand to stop Lu Qing from speaking and looked at Lin Xia gently, “Lin Xia!
Tell what happened!”
Lin Xia quietly stood to one side, initially feeling like a person awaiting judgnt.
When Lu Pengcheng suddenly ca in, apart from being surprised, countless thoughts flashed through her mind.
She thought Lu Pengcheng would bla her, hold resentnts, even be disappointed, but she never expected him to speak to her in such a calm and gentle tone.
“Well… Lu’s grandmother found my ho, asked to break up with Lu Zheng, first by bribery, which I did not agree to, then by threatening using my elder brother at Lu Zheng’s company…”
Lu Pengcheng kept scoffing as he listened; this was indeed the usual tactic of his good mother!
Lu Qing looked at Fang Youlan in disbelief, suddenly understanding a lot.
Fang Youlan only wished she could faint right then—how great it would be if she could just black out!
