Ning Zeyan’s smile vanished from his face. He stood up, took a deep breath, and said, "Lu Beichen shot in the leg six years ago, and everyone thought I’d be a cripple for life, right? So the Gu Family used being a cripple as an excuse to betroth you to Ning Zesheng back then. Now, am I qualified to be responsible for you?"
Gu Xiyao grabbed sothing randomly and hurled it at him, "Get lost!"
Ning Zeyan squinted at her from where he stood for half a minute before he turned and left. Then he sat in the wheelchair that was left at the entrance and opened the door to leave.
As the New Year approached, Lu Beiyao finally showed up at the Lu Mansion. Everyone thought he was back to celebrate, but he went straight upstairs and dragged Tu Yingying out of the room.
Tu Yingying had been locked in the room upstairs with no one paying her any mind except for the servants who delivered als regularly. Everyone had almost forgotten that soone was locked in that room.
When Tu Yingying was dragged out, everyone was shocked. Her hair was ssy, her eyes vacant, and she still wore the sa clothes as before, emitting a foul sll.
Ji Niandong reflexively hid behind Lu Beichen when she saw her, as if recalling the room with the electric grid on the window, making it hard for her to breathe.
Tu ijiao blocked Lu Beiyao and asked, "What are you taking her for?"
"Did you forget? Two months are up!" he said coldly, pushing Tu Yingying aside.
Tu Yingying broke into a run imdiately, fortunately stopped in ti by Housekeeper Lu!
"Ah, let go of , let go!" She didn’t want to give up the rare chance she got, so she bit down on Housekeeper Lu’s arm.
Still causing trouble!
Lu Beiyao stepped forward, pulled her away, and instructed, "Soone, gag her and tie her up in the car!"
"Cousin, please, spare ! I was wrong, I really was wrong! Auntie, save ! Ah, let go of ... Mmm!"
Her mouth was quickly stuffed up, tied securely with a rope, leaving her unable to move as she fell to the ground, crying silently.
Ji Niandong quickly covered Lu Sinian’s eyes, "Nian Nian, let’s go to the backyard!"
"Mom, I’m not afraid! Aunt Tu deserves this herself!" Lu Sinian was a child who had seen the world, but seeing the house like this still made him frown in discomfort.
He held Ji Niandong’s hand tightly, and the sense of reliance and mutual comfort brought a sense of ease to Ji Niandong’s heart.
Lu Beichen finally walked over and asked, "Is the hospital ready?"
Lu Beiyao glanced at him and shook his head.
"You’ve arranged nothing, yet you rember the date clearly! You’re acting so recklessly, are you afraid the whole world doesn’t know?"
Lu Beiyao remained silent. Lu Beichen directly called Zhu Yiming, and shortly after, Lu Beiyao took Tu Yingying away. Tu ijiao sat down on the sofa crying, "It’s because I’ve sinned too much, it’s my retribution. This doesn’t feel like New Year’s at all!"
She was quite heartbroken, unable to be consoled further by others. Only Lu Xinguo went over to comfort her, waiting until she’d finished crying to wipe her tears and walk over to Ji Niandong.
The Little Bun face directly shielded Ji Niandong, spreading his arms protectively, a subconscious action that made Ji Niandong want to laugh a little, so she reached out and patted his little head.
Tu ijiao felt even more ashad seeing the child act this way. She took a breath and nodded slightly, saying, "Tongtong, I’m sorry for what happened before! These days while you’re ho, I’ve been wanting to tell you that but couldn’t bring myself to speak."
Lu Xinguo chid in, "Tongtong, please forgive your second aunt. Her words can be harsh, and she’s stubborn as a mule, but willing to apologize is already a huge step for her!"
Everyone focused their attention on Ji Niandong. The Little Bun face spoke up directly, "Second Grandma, will you really stop bullying my mom?"
Tu ijiao nodded, "It was all Second Grandma’s fault before!"
Ji Niandong also sighed in relief, "Second Aunt, there’s no need for so much formalities. We are family!"
