Such a past, Qin Fangang used a calm tone to speak of it lightly but Xinyu could empathize with him. Ever since she was 5 years old, when she found out that she was an illegitimate child, she could feel the hardships and unwillingness she had to go through to become an illegitimate child.
She reached out and gently held the man's large palm. Her soft thumb gently rubbed the man's hand. "… So you came back?"
Qin Fangang reached out to pinch out the cigarette butt between his fingers and shook his head. "Of course not. I refused at the beginning. I didn't care about the Lu Corporation. Since he was so cruel to settle us abroad for so many years, he didn't ask about us for so many years. Now that he needed us, he came to us. Wasn't his purpose very simple? During the years I was in England, I did very well in the investment world. He only came to me because he noticed my ability. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to clarify the stakes. He had always treated his son like a treasure. If he had the ability to manage the Lu Clan well, would he have come to me? My surname is Qin, not Lu. "
"…"
Xin Yu felt a little sorry for him. This was the man she liked. He was very powerful. She knew that in her heart, he seemed to be omnipotent. But whose heart wasn't made of flesh?
When he said that his surname was "Xie" and not "Lu", under the coldness and mockery in his deep eyes, there was still a hint of bitterness in his heart.
"… But what can I do? My mother wants me to come back so badly. I've always known that she has that thought. She wants to go back to D City. "
At this point, Xin Yu didn't quite understand. Even if Qin Fangang's mother wasn't Lu Shiyun's original wife, it wasn't strange for a man in a wealthy family to have a mistress outside. Li Muhua was indeed a little arrogant, but it wasn't to the extent that Qin Fangang and his mother couldn't even come back to D City, right?
…
"It's strange. Why is my mother always in England when she wants to come back?"
Qin Fangang raised his eyebrows and asked Xinyu the question that was on her mind. The man's thin lips curved upwards, but it wasn't a gentle smile. Instead, it was cold. "… My mother met Lu Shiyun first. At that time, she was one of Lu Shiyun's secretaries. Just like any other relationship between a boss and a secretary in an office, Lu Shiyun took a fancy to her. Then, naturally, they had a relationship. However, at that time, the Lu Clan was already ahead of everyone else in the industry. Lu Shiyun's status was honorable, and he even had a designated fiancée, Li Muhua. At that time, the Li family was involved in the political scene in D City. Their status was naturally very compatible with Lu Shiyun's. Before Li Muhua married Lu Shiyun, she already knew of my mother's existence. She found someone to deal with my mother directly. This woman's methods were more vicious. At that time, the person in the high position in the Li family was her younger brother, but he hadn't officially become the municipal party secretary yet. Later, when she found out that my mother was pregnant with me, Li Muhua forced her to have more abortions. Of course, my mother refused. Later, the two of them came to an agreement. As long as she left D City and never came back, Li Muhua would let her go, including the child in her belly. "
Li Muhua exuded arrogance from head to toe. Xin Yu was well aware of this. If it weren't for Lu Shiyun standing in the middle all these years, she probably wouldn't have had an easy time with those methods she used on her.
Therefore, when Qin Fangang said that Li Muhua wanted to drag his mother to have an abortion, she absolutely believed that Li Muhua would definitely do it.
"… In this life, the thing I don't want to see the most is my mother being sad. I swore that I would definitely make her return to D City. This is her hometown. She doesn't like England, so she wanted me to return to the Lu Clan. I only agreed to come back because of her."
…
Xin Yu nodded and said in a low voice, "So that's how it is."
She could feel how this invincible man had developed such a strong mentality. Perhaps only he himself knew how fragile, sad, and unwilling he was. At this moment, she finally understood why Qin Fangang was so cold towards Lu Shiyun every time. As a father, when he couldn't make use of his son, he left him in England and didn't ask about him. When he saw his son's talent, he wanted to look for him. When he found him, he just wanted him to come back and take care of the Lu Clan …
She didn't know why, but just thinking about this made Xin Yu very unhappy. Lu Shiyun's image in her heart had always been so lofty. All these years, he was like her biological father, taking care of her so meticulously and properly. She really couldn't figure out why he could be so gentle to her, yet be so cruel to his own son.
Xin Yu took 5% of the Lu Clan's shares, but she knew very well that although Qin Fangang was the CEO of the Lu Clan, he didn't hold as many shares as Lu Yihan did. Lu Shiyun was obviously biased. How could this proud man not have any feelings when it came to him?
…
In the end, did she only see the good side of Lu Shiyun all these years, or was he just so "casual" with people?
Lu Yihan was his biological son, but wasn't Qin Fangang his biological son?
Xin Yu couldn't figure out the mystery in the middle. She lay in Qin Fangang's arms. The man's breathing was very steady, and the smell of cigarettes on his body mixed with his masculine scent. He didn't speak again, but his slender fingers gently squeezed her shoulders, his index finger stroking up and down from time to time.
Xin Yu suddenly wanted to comfort him, but after thinking it over, she still didn't know what to say. In the end, she chose to reach out and hug the man's strong waist. She didn't say anything, but there were a few words in her throat that kept echoing back and forth. Fan Gang, I want to be with you. I want to be with you forever. I want to be by your side.
But it was like a fishbone stuck in her throat. In the end, she didn't say it.
…
Lu Shiyun had just hung up when the door to the ward behind him suddenly opened with a bang.
He frowned unhappily and put his phone on the bedside table without batting an eyelid. When he turned around and saw who it was, there wasn't the slightest hint of emotion on his face. "What are you doing here?"
"To see how long you, Old Master Lu, are going to pretend to be sick for."
Li Muhua crossed her arms over her chest. At that moment, only she and Lu Shiyun were left in the ward. The two of them had been husband and wife for more than 20 years, but at this moment, when they were alone together, they were even more distant than strangers.
No, perhaps strangers wouldn't have any emotions, but between the two of them, there was a great distance between them, and they both hated each other.
Lu Shiyun didn't put on an act in front of Li Muhua. He lifted the thin blanket and got off the bed. He walked to the small living room at the side. This was a high-class VIP ward, and the facilities inside were very complete. He poured himself a glass of water and didn't ask Li Muhua if she needed it. After drinking two mouthfuls, he said, "If you have something to say, just say it. I know you won't be so kind as to come and visit a sick person."
"Visit a sick person?"
Li Muhua sneered. "Then I can only visit you if you're really sick. Lu Shiyun, you're pretending to be sick for Leng Xinyu, that little brat, to gain sympathy from her. Don't think of treating me, Li Muhua, as an idiot. I know you're in good health and your mind is clear, right?"
Lu Shiyun didn't want to waste any more words with Li Muhua. His eyes were shining with a sharp, cold light as they shot straight at Li Muhua. The expression on his weathered face was fierce. "Cut the crap. Get to the point!"
"Don't worry, I came over today and sent everyone away. Even the doctor won't come over, so it won't be like last time, where someone interrupted us midway. During this time, you've been busy using your 'poor health' to fool others, so you haven't contacted me in a long time. But I don't have any objections if you want to fool others, but don't fool my son as well!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? If you're looking for me for such a trivial matter, then leave. I don't have time to listen to you. "
"You want to hear the main point, don't you?"
Li Muhua raised his eyebrows and threw the bag in his hand onto the sofa. He pointed at Lu Shiyun and scolded, "You old thing! Don't think that I'm really afraid of you. You know very well what you've done. Let me tell you, you and I are in the same boat. If you capsize my boat, I'll make you sink into the sea! Don't forget, I'm still holding your Achilles' heel in my hands. You can't touch me. But I want you to wake up now. Don't let Yihan suffer because of your own selfish desires! Isn't he your son? Previously, when you let that bastard Qin Fangang come back from England, I've already swallowed my anger. Later, when you gave that little brat Leng Xinyu 5% of the Lu Clan's shares, I've also swallowed my anger. At home, I've tried my best to cooperate with your acting. My image as an evil mother-in-law has made your image as a good father-in-law even greater. But don't go overboard with your acting. Your good wife made your son wear a green hat, and you still want to protect her! "
"What did I do to you?"
Lu Shiyun's eyes darkened as he looked at the woman standing in front of him. She was his first wife. They had been husband and wife for more than 20 years. In these 20 years, they had held sharp knives in their hands, stabbing each other's vitals. They wouldn't stop until one of them was dead.
"Don't speak as if you've been wronged. It's not up to you to tell me what to do. Just be a rich wife. I won't stop you from doing whatever you want, but don't come strutting around in front of me."
Li Muhua was so angry that his face was contorted. "Lu Shiyun, don't change the topic! Do you dare to say that you don't know who the man in Leng Xinyu's video that was exposed before is? "
Lu Shiyun's expression changed slightly. He frowned and looked at Li Muhua. His voice was still calm. "What do you mean by that? What do I know? "
He's still playing dumb!
At this point, he's still playing dumb!
