He had been crazy for five years, and now that his daughter was back, he was starting to get restless. Did he know that his actions were actually stupid?!
The people in the hospital naturally knew Lu Shiyun. Someone led the way for him respectfully and cautiously.
Lu Shiyun's status was different. He was old and rarely faced the media in recent years. In the past five years, he had not taken the initiative to come to this hospital. However, the outside world more or less knew about the Lu family's daughter-in-law, what kind of father she had, and what kind of in-laws the Lu family had. It was just that the Lu family's status was quite high, so those who knew wouldn't say much.
"Old Master Lu, he's inside."
At the end of the long corridor, two men in black stood at the door. The moment they saw Lu Shiyun, they nodded. The doctor who led Lu Shiyun over was the person in charge of this hospital. He pointed at the white metal door and said, "These few days, Leng Dongming's condition has calmed down a lot. Before you came, I already gave him some medicine to stabilize his mood. He won't have any problems for the time being. Old Master Lu, you can rest assured."
Lu Shiyun habitually reached out and pressed the edge of his hat. Then, he waved his hand and said, "All of you, leave."
"Old Master Lu … this …"
"I told all of you to leave. Didn't I give you medicine? He won't do anything to me. All of you, leave. "
The few of them looked at each other, finally nodded, and left.
Lu Shiyun reached out and took off his hat. He pushed the door open and entered.
In the small white house, there was a wooden bed covered with white bedding. There was also a white bedside table with a few paper cups on it. Some of the cups had been crushed and thrown to the side of the bed. There was a water dispenser in the corner with the power on it turned off.
As for Leng Dongming, he was sitting on the bed. Compared to his previous skinny body, the torment of the past few days had made him even skinnier. He wished he could only be skin and bones. There was no light in his eyes, and he was curled up on the bed. Leng Dongming's originally dull eyes moved slightly when he heard someone push the door open. The moment he saw the person, a trace of too obvious shock flashed across his face, followed by panic.
"… Don't be nervous. Relax. Are you nervous that I'm here to see you?"
Lu Shiyun narrowed his eyes and took two steps toward Leng Dongming's bed before stopping. He could see the nervousness, uneasiness, and panic in his eyes. His heart sank slightly. "Leng Dongming, do you still recognize me?"
"…"
On the bed, Leng Dongming didn't say anything. His entire body stiffly maintained his original position and didn't move. His gaze had already moved away from Lu Shiyun's face.
"They said that you haven't been doing well recently, so I came to see you." Lu Shiyun's eyes flashed. He continued probing, "Do you feel wronged living here all these years?"
"…"
"… You're not talking?" Lu Shiyun paused and nodded. He placed the crutch in front of him and held the top of the crutch with both hands. Half of his body weight was leaning on the crutch. "It's good that you don't talk. No matter what you're thinking or what you're thinking, whether you've really gone crazy for the past five years … or whether you're pretending to be crazy … It's not important. What's important is that you have to listen carefully to what I'm about to say."
Unable to find a place to sit, Lu Shiyun stood in front of Leng Dongming. His low voice and emotional fluctuations were well controlled by himself. Every word was clearly heard by the man on the bed.
"Leng Dongming, to put it nicely, you and I are now in-laws. I'm not sure how much you know about what happened five years ago. Or are you going to use some method to tell your daughter, Leng Xinyu, and ask her to do something? Do you feel wronged? You've been here for five years, but you chose this path yourself. Now you want to go back on your words? Isn't that a little immoral? "
"…"
The word "immoral" probably deeply provoked the man on the bed. Leng Dongming's hands, which were originally on his knees, suddenly clenched tightly. He lowered his eyes. At the same time, a rare sharpness flashed across his dull eyes.
Immoral …
"You're probably unhappy that I said that to you, right? Relax. Tell me, what good will it do you to be so nervous? " Lu Shiyun chuckled. He rubbed the dark blue gem on the top of his crutch with his thumb and continued, "Actually, if you're like this, the person who gets hurt in the end is still yourself. Haven't I treated your daughter well enough?"
"…"
"Leng Dongming, how can you have the best of both worlds? You're already in this state, so don't think about useless things. All these years, I've provided you with good food and a good place to live. In order to prevent you from entering a real mental hospital, I specially built this hospital for you. Do you think the Lu family has so much money that we don't know where to spend it? Including your daughter. She's the envy of all women. She's become the Young Madam of the Lu family. What are you unhappy about? Do you want to tell her some things that you know? Haha … don't worry. If you really want to tell her, I won't stop you. But you have to think about the consequences of telling her. "
"I know. You know a little about what happened five years ago. Five years ago, didn't you also choose this path because you were afraid? You were afraid then. Why are you sticking your neck out now? "
"… I won't say much about other things."
"Stay here well. You should know that if you go through all this trouble, the one who will suffer in the end is not only you, but also your precious daughter. You made the right decision back then. Since you've made the right decision, then you should follow this path wholeheartedly. Tell me, as elders, which one of us doesn't want the best for our children? Xin Yu is a good girl. I really like her. After graduating from England, she's now working in the Lu Clan. I'll give her the best because I like her from the bottom of my heart. I believe that she can slowly let my son, Yihan, walk the most normal path and become a promising person. I won't let my daughter-in-law suffer. Of course, you have to think about the conditions under which this peace should be built. When you understand, ask your attending doctor to pass a message to me. Xin Yu misses you very much. She's been clamoring to see you every day. When you understand, I'll ask her to come and see you. "
"…"
Xin Yu reached out and pressed the edge of her hat. She took out a hundred dollar bill from her bag and handed it to the pharmacy clerk. She took the medicine and turned to leave. Someone behind her shouted, "… Miss, your change!"
"…"
"What's wrong with that person? Isn't it just buying a box of contraceptives? Why is she so sneaky? Could it be that she's underage? " There was still more than seventy dollars left. The clerk put the money aside and looked at it awkwardly. There were surveillance cameras in the store. She couldn't take the money away and could only put it aside.
There was a salesperson standing at the side. She smiled and said, "I don't think she's underage. Maybe it's her first time taking this medicine. She's very shy."
"Tsk, if she's shy, why would she sleep with a man?"
"…"
Xin Yu actually heard the salesperson talking to her about the change. However, she didn't go back. It wasn't because of anything else. It was just that her identity was too sensitive. The pharmacy here was next to the Lu Clan. She took advantage of her lunch break to buy the medicine. She couldn't guarantee that there would be people around who knew her. She didn't want to stay a second longer.
When she took the medicine, she was a little worried. The last time she took this kind of emergency contraceptives, she ended up having problems. After that, she went to the hospital to get another medicine. However, she had already finished the medicine. She couldn't go back to the hospital to get another medicine. If she went in and out of the hospital too many times, someone would eventually find out. Plus, there was Lan Ruoran to mess things up last time. Now, she really felt that she had to be more careful in everything she did.
Biting her lip, Xin Yu felt that she had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the medicine. Even if something happened to her body, it was better than … getting pregnant.
She opened the bottle of mineral water she bought and swallowed the medicine. She found a trash can and looked around. When she didn't see anyone, she reached out and threw the box of medicine and the bottle of mineral water into the trash can. She looked at the time and prepared to go back to the office.
There was still half an hour before the afternoon shift. Xin Yu didn't eat lunch because she didn't have an appetite. She stood in the elevator and looked at the reflection of her upper body on the bright and clean wall of the elevator.
Xin Yu's heart skipped a beat. She was no longer wearing the same clothes she was wearing in the morning. She was wearing a V-neck shirt, a pair of black tights, and a pair of flats. However, at the collar, her fair skin was printed with an ambiguous red color.
…
Xin Yu hurriedly reached out and adjusted her collar. This shirt was specially bought for her by Qin Fangang after he did it for her in her office. The size and style were very suitable for her, but the hickeys on her neck …
She instinctively looked away. She didn't have the courage to look at herself in the mirror again. Her entire body was covered with the marks of a man's love.
Xin Yu's heart trembled. However, a sentence floated in her mind.
— — "… If I let you divorce Lu Yihan, what identity can I give you?"
…
— — "… If you don't want to be Mrs. Lu, you can be Mrs. Xie. Do you want it?"
…
The elevator reached the 28th floor with a ding. The double doors opened slowly. Xin Yu's face was flushed red. She nervously wrapped her arms around herself. Her mind was in a mess. She kept seeing passionate scenes and the man's deep voice stimulating her …
Did I hear wrongly?
Yes, I must have heard wrongly. He … how could he say something like that to me?
No, it's impossible. I must have heard wrongly. I must have heard wrongly. She was confused by a lot of what he said just now … Besides, even if it was true, didn't other people often say it? A man's words in bed were the most untrustworthy …
Although she kept telling herself that it was impossible, it couldn't be, it definitely couldn't be …
Her heart was beating faster and faster. Xin Yu's breathing was completely messed up. She bit her lips tightly and hugged her arms tighter. She tried very hard to remind herself of something, but that sentence was like a demon's voice that fell on her heart. It was as if — she couldn't get rid of it.
"If you don't want to be Mrs. Lu, you can be Mrs. Xie. Do you want it?"
"If you don't want to be Mrs. Lu, you can be Mrs. Xie. Do you want it?"
