"… Leng Xinyu, you're such a despicable person! I've already said it before. What right does a person like you have to enter the Lu family? You, on the other hand, are good. I let you be the young mistress of the Lu family, but you're unwilling to be left alone and went out to seduce other men. You despicable woman, it's fine if you want to seduce other men, but you actually made a fuss about it in the city. Do you know what people are saying about the Lu family and my son? You despicable thing, you cheated on my son, and you still have the nerve to come back? You — "
"Shut up!"
Lu Shiyun heard the loud commotion downstairs and came down with his walking stick. The moment he saw the mess on the floor, his gloomy face became even colder. He glared fiercely at Li Muhua and growled, "What are you doing? Do you think I'm dead? What did I tell you? I told Xin Yu to look for me in the study when she came back. What are you doing now?! "
Lu Shiyun gave the servant beside him a look, and someone immediately went up to help Xin Yu stand up from the broken glass of the antique vase. He asked her, "… Young Mistress, your hand is bleeding. I'll get the doctor over …"
"… I'm fine."
Xin Yu didn't even dare to look at Lu Shiyun now. Li Muhua rushed up to slap her the moment she entered the room. She didn't really care about her unbearable scolding. In fact, she even thought it was a little funny —
What right did Li Muhua have to scold her like that?
The whole world might have the right to scold her for being shameless and having an affair, but what did Li Muhua do outside?
If it wasn't for Lu Shiyun, Xin Yu wouldn't have endured such a slap. She had done something wrong, but Li Muhua didn't have the right to take advantage of her and throw stones at her when she was down.
"Get the doctor here."
Lu Shiyun's voice was low and irresistible. He instructed the servant and finally looked at Xin Yu. "Treat the wound first. No matter how serious the matter is, you can't act recklessly. Xin Yu, go to the living room and sit down first."
"Daddy …"
"Dad!"
Xin Yu wanted to say something, but Lu Yiting couldn't wait to speak up. She glanced at Li Muhua and saw that her mother's eyes were filled with unwillingness. As her daughter, she naturally couldn't just stand by and watch. "How can you be so biased? Mom, what did she say wrong? Indeed, it was Leng Xinyu who was shameless. What was going on outside now? Why are you still protecting her? Hasn't she embarrassed the Lu family enough? Mom, she was right to hit her! This kind of woman is cheap. If you don't touch her, she will find another man outside! "
Lu Yiting's sharp and mocking gaze was directed at Xin Yu. "Leng Xinyu, tell me, do you have any shame?"
"I told you to shut up!"
Lu Shiyun slammed the crutch in his hand and roared, "I don't care what the rumors say outside. Xinyu is back and I want to hear her explanation. Why are you all so agitated without distinguishing between right and wrong? This is how the Lu family's reputation is lost! "
"Dad —"
"Lu Shiyun, you're really an old fool!"
Li Muhua cut off Lu Yiting's indignant voice. She took a step forward and looked at Lu Shiyun with a cold smile. "I didn't say anything when you defended this little bitch in the past, but now she's cuckolding my son! You can tolerate this, right? I'm sorry, but as her mother, I can't tolerate this! You don't intend to pursue the matter, and you intend to listen to her explanation? I'm not listening! "
"Did I ask you to listen?"
"Lu Shiyun, you …"
"…"
"Please don't quarrel anymore."
Xin Yu couldn't take it anymore. She subconsciously clenched her fists. Her wounds hurt even more from her sharp nails, but she was completely unaware. Perhaps only this kind of pain could keep her awake and give her the courage to say what she wanted to say.
She took a deep breath and slowly raised her head. Her usually clear eyes were now tinged with scarlet. Her voice was a little choked up, but every word was incomparably clear. "… I'm sorry. It's my fault for causing the Lu family to suffer such a blow. I don't have anything to explain. Since it's something I did, I won't deny it."
"…"
"Did you hear that? Dad, I didn't say anything wrong. She's already admitted it. You still don't believe me? "
Lu Shiyun looked surprised, but Lu Yiting had a smug look on her face. She pointed at Leng Xinyu and said, "You bastard, do you think you're worthy of my brother? How can you face the Lu family? Shameless woman, you really disgust me — "
"If I say that I don't feel sorry for your brother, you might think that I'm even more shameless."
Xin Yu clutched the corner of her shirt tightly. The blood from her palms had seeped into the fabric. She raised her neck. After enduring the slap, the pain, and the blood, her chaotic and guilty feelings seemed to have slowly calmed down. Faced with Lu Yiting and Li Muhua calling her "bitch", she was indeed unhappy. She didn't want to suffer such insults.
Who wasn't raised by their parents? Her mother was no longer around. Her father was crazy and couldn't even recognize himself. However, she, Leng Xinyu, used to be the apple of her parents' eyes …
She did feel sorry for the Lu family, but she really didn't feel sorry for Lu Yihan. What did he give her? Everyone in the Lu family knew that this marriage was loveless and sexless. Perhaps she was indeed selfish because the Lu family had given her too many things. It was equivalent to exchanging her marriage for these things. However, human feelings couldn't be controlled. While she was resisting Qin Fangang, only she knew how painful the process was.
In the end, she still chose this path. She had already predicted that this day would come sooner or later.
"But I don't feel sorry for your brother. Everyone knows that the woman Lu Yihan loves isn't me, his first wife. I know that back then, I was the one who used my own happiness and marriage in exchange for my father's safety. For the past five years, the Lu family has given me a lot of material help. So when something like this happened today, I don't want to deny it because I've done it. I'll admit it. I've let down the Lu family. I've let down Dad's expectations of me … But my marriage with Lu Yihan was built on such a twisted relationship. He doesn't love me. Everyone in the Lu family knows who he likes. Everyone in D City knows. For the past few years, if there's anyone who was the first to appear on the gossip headlines, it wouldn't be me. Today, I'm not here to find out who's wrong. I'm here to face this problem — "
Once the topic was brought up, Xin Yu felt that it wasn't that difficult to face it. When you put everything on the line and focus on doing something, God gave you a lot of courage.
She wanted to divorce Lu Yihan. Perhaps, this was the best opportunity for her to do so.
Xin Yu turned around. Under the three different expressions, she knelt down.
Lu Shiyun frowned slightly. Li Muhua sneered. Lu Yiting snorted with disdain.
Xin Yu turned a deaf ear to them. She didn't care about Li Muhua and Lu Yiting. She just wanted to apologize to Lu Shiyun, so she knelt down for Lu Shiyun.
"… Dad, I just feel sorry for you. I'm sorry … I know these three words don't mean anything. Thank you for raising and cultivating me for the past five years. I've already told you before that I want to divorce Yihan … Now that things have developed to this point, I can't go on like this. I hope you can grant me my wish and let me divorce Yihan …"
"Leng Xinyu, why don't you tell us who that man is?"
Li Muhua didn't wait for Lu Shiyun to say anything. She crossed her arms and looked arrogantly at Xin Yu, who was kneeling on the floor. She said aggressively, "You want to divorce Yihan? Isn't it easy? The Lu family won't tolerate you for what you've done. But I really want to know who that traitor is. "
"He's not a traitor. He's the person I like."
"…"
Li Muhua would never have dreamed that Xin Yu would say something like that. She didn't know how to describe her feelings at that moment. It was as if this daughter-in-law whom she had never liked was now kneeling in front of her. Even though she had done something like that, she still had a proud look on her face and spoke humbly, but she was still protecting that man. To Leng Xinyu, she didn't seem to have lost anything. Her so-called "feelings" and the so-called "person she liked" gave her endless strength in her heart.
Her expression was absent-minded as an unknown emotion flowed through her heart.
For so many years, she had been hiding from this unhappy marriage. She was always afraid that one day, it would be exposed in front of everyone. She was afraid …
If one day, she was like Leng Xinyu, and everyone knew the truth that she had tried so hard to hide, would she still have the courage to say something like that?
…
No matter how mean Li Muhua was, she was still a woman. There wasn't a woman who didn't want to be pampered by the man she liked. There was such a man who could stand behind Leng Xinyu and give her so much courage and strength. But she sadly realized that she didn't seem to have received these from the beginning …
So, she was even more indignant.
Why did she get what she couldn't get so easily?
She was actually very jealous of this' daughter-in-law 'of hers. Perhaps, only she knew that this was the human heart. After seeing someone else get something that they couldn't get, they wouldn't think about how to fight for it themselves. Instead, they would think about how to make the other person's things disappear!
…
"Whether she cheated or not, it's a matter between us husband and wife. I haven't even stood up to say anything. Why are you all so insistent on asking?"
A deep male voice came from afar. The originally tense atmosphere became even more subtle with the addition of this male voice.
"Brother …"
"Yihan …"
Lu Yiting and Li Muhua both turned to look at the tall figure standing at the entrance of the living room. His jacket was hanging on his arm. His gaze fell on the woman kneeling on the floor in the living room. He frowned —
