Sheng Yufei entered the house and greeted the elders one by one with a smile. She then looked at Lu Meihua and said, "Mom, I'm really sorry. I was taking Ziqian to school, but there was a traffic jam on the way. That's why I'm late."
Lu Meihua said calmly, "Have a seat."
Sheng Yufei sat down on the sofa. She could feel that the atmosphere in the room was a little tense, especially Fu Zhengyao. His expression was not good. Although she did not know why Lu Meihua had suddenly called her over, she could tell that it was not something good.
Sheng Yufei smiled politely and looked at Lu Meihua gently. "Mom, why are you looking for me?"
"I can't afford to be called Mom." Lu Meihua said calmly, "You and Shen 'er are already divorced. Qiao' er is now the legitimate daughter-in-law of the Lu family."
Sheng Yufei's face turned pale. Lu Meihua had always been cold to her. She looked at Fu Zhengyao and said, "Dad, Jinshen and I are divorced, but I'm still Ziqian's mother. This is a fact that can never be changed. Do you expect me to call you Uncle and Auntie in front of the child?"
Fu Zhengyao still couldn't believe it. It was really too sudden. He asked Sheng Yufei, "Ziqian … whose child is he?"
Sheng Yufei's heart suddenly rose to her throat, but she still pretended to be calm on the surface. She even asked Fu Zhengyao in confusion, "Dad, what's wrong with you? Of course Ziqian is my and Jinshen's child. "
"Is that so?" Lu Meihua's slightly cold voice was tinged with a hint of sarcasm. "I have Jinshen's hair here. Let's do a paternity test for him and Ziqian."
"Mom …" Sheng Yufei looked at Lu Meihua in confusion and panic. "What do you mean by that?"
Lu Meihua said, "Exactly what I mean."
Sheng Yufei looked at Xu Dechang in shock. Xu Dechang sighed and said, "They all know about Ziqian's background."
Sheng Yufei felt that there must be something wrong with her ears. Otherwise, why would the matter that had been hidden for so long suddenly be exposed? "What do they know?"
"They know that Ziqian is your and Hua 'er's child," Xu Dechang said.
Sheng Yufei instinctively shook her head. Her eyes widened and her face was full of horror. Her lips trembling, she was at a loss for words.
"Although Ziqian's is not the Lu family's blood, he grew up in the Lu family, in my heart, he's my grandson." Lu Meihua was the one who spoke. She wasn't speaking to a single person. She sounded more like a leader announcing the final result to everyone. "Yufei and Shen 'er were legally married. Ziqian is a child of the Lu family. Naturally, he should be raised by the Lu family. Only by maintaining the status quo can Ziqian not be harmed …"
Lu Meihua paused and looked at Sheng Yufei. "I'll arrange for someone to pick Ziqian up from school today. Everything will go on as usual. Ziqian will be staying with the Lu family from now on. You can come here to visit him if you miss him."
"No, I don't agree." Sheng Yufei hurriedly rejected the idea. Ever since Lu Jinshen found out that she had feelings for him, he had been very cold to her. His every move was filled with a sense of alienation that broke her heart.
If she let Ziqian leave her, she would have nothing. Her connection with Lu Jinshen would be completely severed. It would be impossible for her and Lu Jinshen to be together.
Only by keeping Ziqian by her side would she have a chance to get close to Lu Jinshen. As long as she could get close to him, there was still hope.
Sheng Yufei knew that with Lu Meihua present, Fu Zhengyao could not be relied on. She looked at Xu Dechang for help. He would definitely help her. "Uncle Xu, help me. Zihua has already left me. I can't live without Ziqian. Jin Shen already has a wife and a child. Why would he treat Zihua's child as his own? I'm Ziqian's mother. I'm the only one who is sincere to him. "
Xu Dechang thought of the surveillance video he had watched last night. He thought of the scene where Sheng Yufei beat Ziqian until his eyes turned red and tears flowed out. He also thought of the words that Sheng Yufei had said to Ziqian, which were obviously filled with jealousy and hatred. The anger in his heart quickly spread throughout his body. He snorted heavily and said, "I was blind to believe your nonsense. Ziqian won't be happy at all with you. All you have taught him is jealousy and hatred. Yufei, you used to be a gentle and kind girl.
Sheng Yufei looked at Xu Dechang in disbelief. "Uncle Xu, what's wrong with you? I'm still the Yufei from before. I'm also Ziqian's mother. Did you misunderstand something? "
"I saw it with my own eyes. What misunderstanding could there be?" Xu Dechang had been blaming himself in the hospital last night. Tong Qiao was sincere to Lu Ziqian, but he had casually criticized and ridiculed her sincerity. Instead, he had sent his grandson to Sheng Yufei, a hypocrite.
"What did you see with your own eyes?" Sheng Yufei couldn't understand why Xu Dechang, who had always been on her side, would suddenly say such things. She couldn't figure out why his attitude had changed so drastically after only one night.
"I saw you hit Ziqian with a clothes hanger." Xu Dechang stood up angrily and looked at Sheng Yufei condescendingly. "How old is Ziqian? How could you do that to him? You are his biological mother. The child cried like that and begged you, but you still hit him with a clothes hanger. You were completely using him to vent your anger. Do you deserve to be his mother? "
"I …" Sheng Yufei's face turned pale and then dark gray in an instant.
How could this be?
Why did everything change overnight?
Why was Ziqian's identity suddenly exposed?
Why did Xu Dechang know her every move at home?
What went wrong? What on earth went wrong?
Unexpected information came one after another like a series of bombs, blowing Sheng Yufei out of her wits and making her tremble all over.
Sheng Yufei wasn't the only one who was bombarded by this information. Fu Zhengyao was as well. He was almost petrified. Why didn't he know any of this?
In the end, Sheng Yufei began to play the pitiful card again, crying and begging. Fortunately, the three elders really loved Ziqian. No matter how much Sheng Yufei cried and pleaded, they didn't agree to let her raise Lu Ziqian.
Tong Qiao didn't participate in the whole process. She was just a quiet spectator, but in the end, she still received a hateful look from Sheng Yufei before she left. It was as if she wanted to tear her apart.
After Sheng Yufei left, Lu Meihua and Fu Zhengyao also left.
When Tong Qiao saw them out, she saw Fu Zhengyao instructing the driver to drive away, and he got into Lu Meihua's car. The two of them were probably going to have a good talk about Lu Ziqian.
When Xu Dechang saw Tong Qiao enter the door, he blushed and said embarrassedly, "I have to go back."
Tong Qiao guessed that Xu Dechang probably felt guilty for what he had done to her before, but he couldn't apologize, so he wanted to leave in a hurry. Was this considered running away?
Tong Qiao said casually, "You just came yesterday. Why don't you stay a few more days to accompany Ziqian?"
