Xin Yu really didn't like to meet Li Muhua face to face. Actually, her sarcasm wasn't a big deal because she had been like that in the past. But ever since she found out that she had an affair with another man …
She really felt a chill run down her spine. Now that she looked at Li Muhua's face, her exquisite makeup couldn't hide the subtle wrinkles and wrinkles at the corners of her eyes — she was old, but her heart wasn't. In Xin Yu's heart, there was an indescribable feeling of annoyance.
But in front of Lu Shiyun, she couldn't say much. Besides, she didn't have any evidence.
Xin Yu took a deep breath and chose to swallow her anger. "… I'm sorry, Mom. I'll be more careful in the future."
"Okay, okay. Don't make a fuss over such a trivial matter. I didn't ask all of you to come back to scold Xin Yu. I have something to announce —" Lu Shiyun defended Xin Yu at every turn. As he spoke, he lifted his wrist to look at the time. "Fan Gang and Lu Yihan aren't back yet. Let's wait a little longer."
Lu Yiting was sitting at the side. When she heard Li Muhua's words, she had a smug smile on her face. She was about to add insult to injury, but when she heard Lu Shiyun mention the words "Fan Gang," her hand, which was flipping through the magazine, paused. She actually looked a little nervous.
But she didn't make a sound from the start to the end, so the others didn't notice anything strange about her.
On the other hand, when Xin Yu heard that Qin Fangang and Lu Yihan were coming back, her heart instantly became uneasy. Her originally haggard little face now revealed some unconcealable nervousness and uneasiness.
What should she do?
…
Qin Fangang and Lu Yihan … why would they come back together? Although she knew this was inevitable, they were both sons of the Lu family. How strange would it be for them to appear together?
But why would it be now?
Although she clearly knew that this was the most natural thing to do, Xin Yu still kept asking herself in her heart, What should she do?
How should she face them later?
…
"Dad, Mom, I'm going up to change."
Lu Yiting suddenly stood up and put down the magazine in her hand. Li Muhua craned his neck and looked at his daughter. She was dressed quite well. He asked, "Why did you change your clothes?"
Lu Yiting's eyes flashed and she quickly said, "These clothes are new. They don't fit me well. I'll go change."
Li Muhua didn't suspect anything. Lu Shiyun wouldn't care about such girly matters. Lu Yiting swayed her hips as she went upstairs. There were only three people left in the living room. Lu Shiyun received a call. The old butler passed the landline to him and leaned over to whisper something into his ear. Lu Shiyun left with a serious expression.
Now, only Xin Yu and Li Muhua were left in the living room.
Xin Yu felt even more uncomfortable. Just as she was about to leave, Li Muhua called out to her, "What's wrong? Are you not used to sitting alone with me? "
"…"
"It's true that I don't really like you, but I won't eat you up. Don't worry and just sit there."
Li Muhua was already so old, but her nails were painted more gorgeously than most young girls. Today's color was sapphire blue. Her skin was quite fair, and with the sapphire blue nail polish, she indeed looked superior. However, from Xin Yu's point of view, she was obviously looking down on others.
"… There are some things that I want to ask you. I hope that you can answer me honestly."
"…"
Xin Yu really didn't expect that there was something that Li Muhua wanted to know about. She recalled that some time ago, she had accidentally bumped into Li Muhua a few times with another man, and she had secretly gone to her father's hospital … These questions had always been on her mind. As she didn't want to be too involved with Qin Fangang, she was determined not to let him help her. However, with her own abilities, it was indeed very difficult to investigate these matters clearly. In the past few days, so many things had happened one after another that she had completely forgotten about Li Muhua.
Now that she was suddenly talking to her like this, Xin Yu's curiosity was piqued.
She calmed herself down and nodded without batting an eyelid.
Li Muhua stroked her fingers. It was probably because her nails had just been done. They looked shiny and shiny. She glanced at Xin Yu and said, "… I heard that you want to divorce Yihan?"
"…"
Xin Yu's heart skipped a beat. How did she know about this?
But on second thought, it wasn't strange. After all, she was Lu Yihan's mother. Perhaps Lu Yihan had told her about it. She nodded and admitted, "Yes."
"You're willing to give up 5% of the Lu Clan's shares and an extremely expensive piece of land in B City as a condition for the divorce?"
Xin Yu felt that something was wrong. The way Li Muhua was talking to her … seemed a little off, but she couldn't put her finger on it. She thought about it and nodded honestly. After all, there was nothing to hide. She really wanted a divorce and was willing to give up the most valuable thing in her hands.
"Yihan, you don't agree?"
Xin Yu was now certain that Li Muhua definitely didn't know about these things from Lu Yihan. But how did she know? And what did she mean by asking her this now?
"…"
"What don't you agree to?"
A deep male voice suddenly interrupted. Xin Yu still hadn't figured out what Li Muhua meant when she suddenly heard Lu Yihan's voice. Her face stiffened and she looked up. She saw a man in a light blue shirt with a black jacket hanging in one hand and his other hand in the pocket of his trousers. He looked very suave as he walked in.
His long arm casually rested on the back of the sofa behind Li Muhua. His deep eyes were fixed on Xin Yu.
Xin Yu's eyes flickered. She didn't like the way Lu Yihan was looking at her. She didn't say anything. Anyway, Li Muhua was here, so it wasn't her place to say anything.
"Yihan, you're here."
Li Muhua saw her son, whom she hadn't seen in a long time. She stood up with a smile. Compared to the harsh way she treated Xin Yu, she treated Lu Yihan with the image of a loving mother. "I was just chatting with Xin Yu. I heard that the two of you are getting a divorce? So I asked. As your mother, I don't know anything about it. Does your father know? "
"…"
"Who said we're getting a divorce?"
Lu Yihan frowned. His facial features instantly turned cold. He walked in front of Xin Yu and reached out to pull her up from the sofa. He exerted force in his arms and pulled her into his embrace. His thin lips curved as he vowed, "Mom, you're thinking too much. Xin Yu and I have no intention of getting a divorce."
Li Muhua's expression changed. What was going on? She was a little confused. When did her son really put this woman in his heart? And since when … would he defend this Leng Xinyu in front of her? She had only left the Lu family for less than half a month. What exactly had happened that she didn't know about?
Xin Yu's body stiffened. She felt that Lu Yihan's seemingly casual but in reality, she was using a lot of strength to pinch her waist. It was an eyesore and made her feel uncomfortable. She struggled, but Lu Yihan held her even tighter. The unfamiliar masculine scent lingered around her nose. She wasn't familiar with this scent and didn't like it. She instinctively rejected it.
But this was the Lu family after all. No matter how much she hated it, she couldn't do much.
"Yihan, come here. Mom has something to tell you," Li Muhua saw her son hugging Leng Xinyu like this and her face was full of undisguised displeasure. She reached out and waved, wanting to pull Lu Yihan somewhere else to talk.
"Mom, what's the matter? Just say it. There are no outsiders here."
However, Lu Yihan pulled Xin Yu to sit down. Xin Yu's body swayed. She wasn't in good spirits to begin with, so when he pulled her, she stumbled and fell onto the sofa. Her body swayed and her upper body leaned against Lu Yihan. The man reached out and held her shoulders. His thin lips curled into a happy smile. First, his gaze fell on the woman in his arms, then he looked at Li Muhua, whose face was ashen. He reached out his other hand and his slender fingers landed gently on her cheek. His movements were gentle as he smoothed the strands of hair on her cheek. They looked just like a loving couple. "… If you want to ask me about the divorce, I'll tell you clearly now. You must have heard wrongly. Xin Yu and I will not divorce."
"…"
Xin Yu's red lips moved. She really couldn't take it anymore. She reached out and silently but stubbornly slapped away Lu Yihan's hand that was touching her cheek. The man didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled. His deep eyes even contained traces of a smile.
Li Muhua was so angry that the back of her head hurt. "… Yihan, w-what are you talking about?"
"Is he wrong?"
The situation on the other end was completely chaotic. Before they could sort out the situation, Lu Shiyun walked in with the phone. After he finished the call, he happened to hear Lu Yihan's last sentence. A rare trace of relief was written on his weathered face. He nodded at Lu Yihan. "Yihan, I knew that you would discover the good in Xin Yu. It's not too late to cherish her now."
In the past five years, Lu Yihan actually didn't refute Lu Shiyun's words when he talked about Leng Xinyu.
Xin Yu's heart thumped. An indescribable sense of crisis surged around her. Her palms were sweaty. She felt as if she had been thrown into the eighteenth level of hell. She had worked so hard for so long to climb up. She had just seen a glimmer of light, but now she was mercilessly dragged into hell again.
No, she couldn't. This matter … she really couldn't tolerate it. She had to divorce Lu Yihan.
"Dad, I have something to say. Actually, Yihan and I, we …"
"Xin Yu, don't say anything. Listen to Dad first —"
Lu Shiyun interrupted her. He handed the phone to the butler beside him. He turned sideways and saw the man coming in from the main entrance.
