Fortunately, when she called Lu Yiting, she was alone in the hotel. When she talked about Qin Fangang, she sounded disappointed. She told her that that night, Qin Fangang didn't even look at her. She drank too much, so he got the hotel staff to book a room for her and left early.
This incident caused quite a stir in Li Muhua's heart. At this age, what hadn't she encountered? As her own daughter, how could she not understand her mother's thoughts?
That day, when she heard her daughter's disappointed tone on the phone, Li Muhua knew that things weren't going well. Tingting must have had thoughts that she shouldn't have.
Although Qin Fangang, as a man, was indeed very outstanding and dazzling, his identity …
Also, at that time, she had already suspected that Tingting knew something, but neither mother nor daughter brought it up that day.
But now … she should have heard the sound, yet she still looked so calm. That could only mean one thing.
Li Muhua's brows furrowed even tighter. Her breathing gradually became erratic. She was very nervous. She sat down on the sofa and lowered her eyes. Before she could think of what to say, Lu Yiting crossed her legs and said slowly, "I know he's in there, Mom. I've been holding this matter in for many years. When I first found out, I was shocked and panicked. Later on, I calmly accepted it, and now I don't care. Actually, I'm stronger than you think, but I've grown up. I'm an adult. I'm already 23 years old. I have the right to know everything about myself, right?"
Li Muhua was speechless.
"… Mom, I've been thinking about something for the past few days. I realized that I … have feelings for a man. Unfortunately, his identity doesn't allow me to have any thoughts, but I really can't control myself. In all my life, this is the first time I've liked a man so much. So today … I have to make myself clear. Otherwise, I won't be able to get over it in my heart."
Li Muhua's expression became more and more unpleasant.
How could she not know who the man Lu Yiting was talking about was?
Qin Fangang …
"… Tingting, you … I don't know when you found out about this, but judging from your calm tone, I think you've known for many years. But no matter what, Mom still has to tell you that Qin Fangang can't be. Don't be silly. Are you going to tell Lu Shiyun that you're not his biological daughter? "
Lu Yiting turned her face away. Li Muhua didn't notice that sadness flashed across his daughter's seemingly nonchalant face at this moment.
She swallowed her saliva and said in a low voice, "… He's not my biological father, but I've called him 'Dad' for 23 years. But if he's not, he's not. It's not like calling him 'Dad' will become a reality."
Lu Yiting took a deep breath and said word by word, "When I was 16 years old, I found out about my identity, but I kept it in and didn't say anything. I still called Lu Shiyun 'Dad' without batting an eyelid. I thought I could pretend for the rest of my life. After all, I still have Lu Yihan, my biological brother. But now, I can't. Mom, I've fallen in love with Qin Fangang. I want to be his woman, not his half-sister. I'm not related to him at all!"
Li Muhua was infuriated by her daughter's provocation. She stood up and pointed at Lu Yiting, scolding, "Are you crazy? Do you know what you're saying? Even if you're not related to Qin Fangang by blood, you'll still be his sister in name for your entire life. Do you know that? You'd better give up on this thought. I've already reminded you before that this man is not someone you can have! "
"Why not?"
Lu Yiting stood up agitatedly as well. She straightened her neck and said agitatedly, "… Why not me? I like him, I love him very much. I can't fall asleep without looking at his photo every night! Qin Fangang is the first man I've liked. Mom, you've been having affairs with other men for over ten years. Do you really think I don't know anything? Who in the Lu family is normal? Your relationship with dad is like this, but you're still able to maintain this marriage. Isn't your relationship twisted? And my brother — Leng Xinyu has no feelings for him at all. Isn't he also having affairs with other women? And Leng Xinyu. She's my brother's wife, but she's seducing Qin Fangang behind his back. With their status, they can have sex, but why can't I?! I want him. I must have Qin Fangang — "
"… What did you say?"
Li Muhua was so shocked that she couldn't speak. Lu Yiting's mouth was too quick, and the words that came out of her mouth made her face turn exceptionally pale in an instant.
"… Tingting, what did you just say? You said that Qin Fangang and Leng Xinyu, they … they have sex? "
Lu Yiting's gaze trembled as she pursed her lips tightly. Only then did she realize what she had said in her agitation. However, the words that came out of her mouth were like water that had been spilled. How could she take them back?
She turned her face away. Her heart was in a mess. Just as she had said earlier, the relationship between the Lu family was very tense. Lu Yihan had said before that what she had heard that day was not to be divulged. However, she couldn't help but tell Lan Ruoran. Indeed, she had never thought of telling Li Muhua.
She knew her mother's temper very well. Of course, she wasn't worried that Leng Xinyu would be attacked. She couldn't wait for her to die. However, she didn't dare to go against Lu Yihan. Now that she had blurted it out in a moment of carelessness, the Lu family would definitely be in for a bloodbath …
When that time came, her brother would definitely know that she was the one who had told her mother.
"… Mom, I …"
"Qin Fangang and Leng Xinyu are actually together?" Li Muhua interrupted Lu Yiting's words. She kept muttering, "This adulterous couple, I've always felt that there was something wrong with them. I didn't expect it to be true … So, the man in the video is Qin Fangang? Great! They actually dared to work together to make my son a cuckold … "
Lu Yiting stood up in a fluster. "… Mom, regarding this matter, just pretend that you don't know. I …"
"Pretend that you don't know?!"
Li Muhua shouted in disbelief. "Tingting, are you out of your mind? What kind of joke is this?! This adulterous couple is making your brother a cuckold, do you know that? Yihan is my son, he definitely doesn't know about this. I don't like Leng Xinyu, that little bastard, to begin with. Now that she actually dares to do such a thing, see if I don't chase her out of the Lu family this time! "
"…"
Lu Yiting furrowed her brows in disagreement.
She didn't like Leng Xinyu, and she was indeed on the same side as her mother from the start. She hoped that Leng Xinyu would get lost as soon as possible. However, Li Muhua kept scolding Leng Xinyu for being a little brat and making her brother a cuckold … Such words made her feel very ashamed.
Because her mother was scolding Leng Xinyu, it was as if she was scolding herself —
She felt uncomfortable. Thinking about Lu Yihan's previous warning, she felt a little uneasy. She thought for a while and said, "… Leng Xinyu was going to divorce my brother anyway. Mom, this is their matter, can you not interfere? Don't run home and talk about this matter, I … "
"What about me?"
Li Muhua only thought that her daughter was really obsessed with Qin Fangang. It was such a good opportunity to fight back against Qin Fangang and Leng Xinyu, but she actually looked like she was in a difficult position in front of her. Moreover, from the looks of it, she probably knew about this matter long ago, but she didn't tell her all this while.
"Tingting, are you really stupid? Don't you know what kind of opportunity this is? Qin Fan just came to D City. Do you know that he came here for a purpose? Your dad and I … Lu Shiyun and I have been torturing each other for so many years. Why do you think I did it for? The Lu family has so many assets, do you think Qin Fangang doesn't covet them? Taking advantage of this opportunity, I can kick both of them out of the door! "
Lu Yiting's face was a little pale. She clutched the corner of her clothes tightly and pursed her lips. After a while, she said in a hoarse voice, "… No, I hate Leng Xinyu, but I like Qin Fangang. Mom, I don't want him to get hurt. Just pretend that you don't know about this. I'm begging you, please don't say anything, really …"
"Crazy! You're really crazy! "
Li Muhua pointed at Lu Yiting in exasperation. She was so angry that her body was shaking. "You actually gave up the Lu family's assets for a man. Do you know that Qin Fangang … He's a ruthless wolf. How can you still hope for him? You won't have a happy ending with him!"
"I don't care!"
Lu Yiting growled. Her eyes were red as she yelled, "I just want him! What do I have that can't compare to Leng Xinyu? I'm still clean and pure. I just want to give it to him! I love him. I just want this man, Qin Fangang — "
"Pa!"
Lu Yiting's face was fiercely flattened. Her shrill voice stopped abruptly. Her body trembled and she was a little dazed.
The burning pain on her cheek clearly told her that her mother had just slapped her. Her eyes were red as she looked up and glared fiercely at Li Muhua.
Li Muhua was also a little stunned. She had only slapped her in a moment of desperation. But when she really slapped her, she realized what she had done. Her hand was frozen in its original position. She opened her mouth. "… Tingting, I …"
At this moment, the bathroom door behind her was pushed open from the inside. The man only had a bath towel around his waist. He held a dry towel in his hand and was drying his hair. When he came out, he didn't know that there was someone in the living room. As he walked, he called out Li Muhua's name and said in a rough voice, "… Where is she? Did she run away after squeezing me dry? Muhua, Muhua? Come over and give me a massage. My legs are so dry that they're a little weak … "
