Chapter 526: Chapter 526: A Dilemma Chapter 526: Chapter 526: A Dilemma “Just this once.”
Lu Yilei made up his mind and then spoke up, “I don’t care what she has done, but I’m begging you to let her go this ti.”
After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Lu Yichen, “Third brother, I’m begging you. Just let Xiao Rou go! I promise, she won’t show up in front of you all ever again.”
Even now that he realized ng Rou wasn’t as simple as he had imagined, he still couldn’t give her up. After all these years, she was the only girl he truly fell in love with.
“You fool,” Old Master Lu was so angry his chest hurt, “You know what kind of person ng Rou is, and yet you’re still defending her here. Do you really lack a brain that much?”
Seeing Old Master Lu in discomfort, everyone quickly gathered around him.
Lu Yilei stepped forward, but looking at ng Rou, who was still being held by two people and in a sorry state, he ultimately stepped back.
“Yilei, you rebellious child, are you trying to anger your father to death?” Old Madam Lu was also quite angry, “For such a promiscuous woman, you’re willing to neglect your own parents, aren’t you?”
Lu Yilei stood there, his face filled with difficulty, and for a while, he didn’t know what to do.
After Old Master Lu took his dication and regained his composure, he looked at Lu Yilei with sharp eyes and spoke resoundingly, “Lu Yilei, if you insist on defending a woman like ng Rou, then from now on you are no longer my son. I have plenty of sons, even without you, I won’t feel any loss.”
“Dad!” Lu Yilei exclaid in shock.
Because he could tell, unlike the threats made before, Old Master Lu was serious this ti. If he really insisted on defending Zhong Niangyao, then Old Master Lu would truly disown him as his son.
For a mont, he found himself in a difficult position. On one side was family and his future, on the other was his love; he really didn’t know how to choose.
“Old Sir, don’t be angry,” Old Madam Lu quickly started to ease the situation, “Yilei didn’t an to make you angry on purpose, he surely knows he’s wrong now. Don’t be too hasty, he’s still young and it’s inevitable that he may act impetuously at tis. But he definitely won’t abandon us, his parents, and the family for a woman.”
Having said that, she turned her head to look at Lu Yilei and urged him quickly, “Yilei, why aren’t you coming over to apologize to your dad and promise you won’t deal with ng Rou’s affairs and that you won’t et with ng Rou anymore?”
Lu Yilei stood there, his face showing painful struggle. Faced with Old Master Lu’s seriousness and Old Madam Lu’s urging, he was even more confused.
Just then, Zhong Niangyao suddenly spoke up, “Lu Yilei, do you really love ng Rou that much? Then let ask you a question, why did you fall in love with ng Rou?”
Her sudden question caught everyone off guard.
No one had expected such an irrelevant question to arise in such a serious situation.
But Old Madam Lu was sowhat angry as she looked at Zhong Niangyao with a cold expression, “Nianyao, can you not bring up insignificant matters right now?”
She was very dissatisfied with Zhong Niangyao suddenly posing such a question.
Right now, it was the mont of choice for Lu Yilei. Zhong Niangyao saying these words, wasn’t she shaking Lu Yilei’s resolve? If Lu Yilei recalled the past of love with ng Rou, who knew whether he would impulsively choose ng Rou in the end!
Zhong Niangyao was just like Lu Yichen, always seeming to be more trouble than help in critical monts, a real curse.
“Why should Old Madam Lu be angry? I am asking Lu Yilei, not you.”
Facing Old Madam Lu’s anger, Zhong Niangyao’s face was unchanged, her gaze still on Lu Yilei, “Is it that difficult to answer?”
“No, I love Xiao Rou,” Lu Yilei unconsciously responded, “Also, I…”
As he tried to articulate why he loved ng Rou, his brain suddenly seized up. He clearly loved ng Rou deeply, thinking everything about her was wonderful.
But why was that? Now, he couldn’t even rember why he fell in love with ng Rou. He only knew subconsciously that he deeply loved ng Rou, but why? What exactly did he fall in love with about ng Rou?
No matter how hard he tried to recall, he couldn’t rember why he had fallen in love with her. It was as if… he had suddenly fallen in love with ng Rou out of the blue.
At this mont, ng Rou’s face was ashen, and she had given up struggling, enveloped by a sense of despair.
She felt that she might really be done for today.
Lu Yilei’s behavior had also made everyone present sense sothing was wrong.
Especially Old Master Lu, his piercing gaze landed on Lu Yilei then shifted to ng Rou, a hint of contemplation flashing through his eyes.
“Can’t say it, can you?” Zhong Niangyao blinked and spoke with a touch of humor, “You see, even you can’t explain why you fell for her. So do you still think that you truly love her?”
Just as Lu Yilei was about to respond, Zhong Niangyao imdiately cut in again, “Although it’s said that falling for soone doesn’t need a reason, there is always a cause for that montary flutter of the heart, isn’t there! Even you can’t clarify the reason, dare you say you still love ng Rou?”
Lu Yilei opened his mouth as if he wanted to say sothing, but then realized he didn’t know what to say.
He felt his whole being was fragnted; his emotions were telling him that he loved ng Rou, but his reason was indicating that his love for ng Rou was suspicious.
“Nianyao.”
Old Master Lu looked at Zhong Niangyao, his eyes narrowed, the gaze sharp and enlightened, “Did ng Rou do sothing?”
It wasn’t just Old Master Lu; others had started noticing too. However, they had not yet considered this possibility.
Zhong Niangyao nodded and then looked back at Lu Yilei, raised her right hand to calculate, and then couldn’t help but let out a sigh, “Lu Yilei, you indeed have a person whom you truly love, but that person is not ng Rou. The reason you feel you love ng Rou now is that she has used an Evil Technique, transferring all the love you had for that girl onto herself.”
It was for this reason that Lu Yilei sotis acted in ways that outsiders found hard to understand.
