408: Chapter 407 How Do You See the Death?
After the room was left with just mother and son, Fang Youlan slowly sat up and directly asked, “Why was irou crying?”
Did they think they could fool her with their stories, thinking she couldn’t tell?
“Went to the restroom, went to buy food?”
Clearly, she had overheard the two of them arguing just before.
Lu Pengcheng looked at his mother, sitting on the hospital bed with a sallow complexion and a listless spirit, a trace of pity crossed his heart, but he knew that, sooner or later, this matter had to be brought to light.
So he began, “I’ve proposed a divorce from her!”
When her son ntioned divorce, Fang Youlan was really about to be driven mad by him!
“Nonsense!” Fang Youlan, furious, grabbed a pillow and threw it at Lu Pengcheng, but due to her physical weakness, it didn’t go far.
Lu Pengcheng stood there indifferently, not dodging or flinching, his eyes resolute.
Once he made a decision, he wouldn’t back down!
Fang Youlan caught her breath, she actually already knew the answer, but couldn’t help asking again, “You saw her, didn’t you?”
Both knew who she was referring to!
“Yes!” Lu Pengcheng didn’t deny it, a touch of tenderness flashing in his eyes.
“So, that nurse manager, she really is your daughter with her?”
Lu Pengcheng nodded, “She is my daughter!”
“Cough, cough, cough, cough…” Fang Youlan coughed violently, grappling with this reality, her eyes darting as she thought of a counterasure.
“Cough, cough…
It’s just a slight resemblance, and the ages don’t seem right!
You mustn’t be fooled, maybe she had the child with soone else…”
Lu Pengcheng’s expression turned cold, “The age matches!
That girl looks young!”
Fang Youlan lowered her gaze to hide the fierceness in her eyes, and when she looked up at Lu Pengcheng again, her face was full of guilt, “Pengcheng!
Mom knows what was done in the past was wrong!
I’m sorry for you both!
If I had known she had your child, I would have never stood in the way!
But you and irou have been married for so many years!
Xiaozheng is almost thirty!
It’s really inappropriate to talk about divorce at this age!
I believe irou is reasonable.
If you want to bring that girl to our ho in the provincial city and change her surna to Lu, I think she wouldn’t oppose it!”
In her eyes, it was just a girl acknowledging her son; nothing major.
Moreover, she didn’t know if that girl was married or not.
If she was, she wouldn’t pose any threat at all!
As for that woman, at over fifty years old and faded, she had managed to drive her away before and she could still do it now.
“Mom!
My mind is made up!
Don’t say anything else!
My marriage to her is definitely ending!
You know better than anyone what actually happened back then!
I want to live my life following my own heart from now on!”
Lu Pengcheng didn’t want to say more; he was past the age of being dictated by his elders.
He had missed out on too much already; how could he easily be persuaded by her?
Fang Youlan clasped her chest, grinding her teeth in fury, “I disagree!
As long as I live, you’ll never get your divorce!
Are you prepared to give up your ho, your career?
Why don’t you think it over, at your age!
How would a ssy divorce benefit you or our family?
Let tell you!
If you dare to divorce, I will die!
I’ll die right in front of you!”
What kind of son had she raised!
He had clearly been born to make her miserable!
Once he divorced Shao irou, there would be no more ties between the Shao Family and theirs, and they would even beco enemies!
Lu Pengcheng watched the expected threats unfold, scoffing, “Fine!
You decide how you want to die—jump from a building or drown in a river!
I’m ready to accompany you at any ti!
Anyway, I’ve already t her, and now I can die with no regrets!”
He spoke with utter sincerity, his heart truly committed.
Fang Youlan was petrified by Lu Pengcheng’s determination; she knew her son well — if he got stubborn, he could really go to such lengths as to die!
In utter sorrow, she burst into tears, “Eldest!
Are you trying to kill ?
Lu Zheng got involved with a small-ti vendor!
It literally drove to the hospital!
Here you are refusing to live a good life and insisting on getting a divorce!
Do you want to see dead before you’ll stop?”
How can each and every one of them be so careless?
What sins had she committed?
Fang Youlan was referring to the small-ti vendor, Lin Xia, who was carrying a rosewood food box to deliver food.
In the corridor, she saw Shao irou and Lu Qing standing by the door of the ward.
Shao irou was covering her mouth, crying bitterly, while Lu Qing was beside her, passing her a handkerchief.
Lin Xia’s heart skipped a beat — could it be that sothing had happened to the old lady?
She couldn’t be dead, could she?
She hurriedly walked a few steps forward, “Grandma Lu, she…” She did not know how to finish her question.
Lu Qing quickly made a shushing gesture, signaling her to keep quiet!
Lin Xia blinked, feeling reassured; it seed Grandma Lu wasn’t in any serious trouble.
Were they standing by the door eavesdropping on who was talking inside the ward?
Shao irou glared fiercely at Lin Xia, she truly loathed her!
If it had not been for her son dating her — a mismatch in social status — after their opposition, the old lady had co to Spring City, and later Lin Xia had even driven her to the hospital.
Wouldn’t they have avoided so many problems now?
In the end, she and Lu Zheng had not broken up, but she and Lu Pengcheng were having marital problems!
Not to ntion, encountering that woman and possibly Lu Pengcheng’s daughter!
If Shao irou’s eyes could manifest lethal intent, Lin Xia would have been carved up a thousand tis over!
Lin Xia was utterly baffled by the glare; how had she offended her future mother-in-law?
The dishes in her hands were carefully chosen based on several people’s preferences, especially made for Jiang Mingyuan.
For fear of Shao irou seeing Jiang Mingyuan and feeling unhappy or overthinking it, she had co personally to deliver the al — what had she done wrong?
Lu Qing, eavesdropping with Shao irou, already knew so of the inside information and why her aunt was glaring fiercely at Lin Xia.
But from the perspective of an outsider, she couldn’t really bla Lin Xia for the whole situation!
It was just a coincidence, perhaps!
At that mont, the door of the ward opened, and Lu Pengcheng walked out.
He saw the three people standing at the entrance of the corridor and slightly furrowed his brow, “Didn’t you go to buy food?”
Lu Qing and Shao irou hung their heads under his gaze.
Lin Xia quickly tried to smooth things over, “Uncle!
You’ve forgotten, haven’t you?
We agreed that I would co over to deliver als at noon and in the evening!
These are a few dishes that I had specially made; I’m not sure if they fit your taste!”
She didn’t dare ntion Jiang Mingyuan in front of Shao irou.
Lu Pengcheng took the food box, muttering his thanks, “You’ve gone to a lot of trouble, Lin Xia!”
His feelings towards Lin Xia had completely shifted from the morning.
Thinking about his future divorce from Shao irou, he wasn’t sure how Lu Zheng would react.
His move to Spring City was ultimately inseparable from Lin Xia; he wondered if his son would bla her.
He sighed quietly to himself — life’s outcos were hard to predict; he would just have to leave it to them.
“It’s no trouble!
No trouble at all!” Lin Xia said smilingly, waving her hand.
She felt there was sothing inexplicably odd about these people; had sothing happened?
