She knew very well that if there wasn't anything important, she wouldn't have called her.
Xin Yu took a deep breath and answered the call. She said calmly, "What's the matter?"
It was Li Muhua's call. But now, she didn't even want to call her "Mom". In the past, she felt that she could still tolerate her, but after going through so many things, she felt that it was too hypocritical to "play along". Presumably, Li Muhua didn't need it at all, and she would feel disgusted with herself.
She didn't like Li Muhua not only because she was always so picky about her and spoke ill of her, but also because there was a huge problem with her character. Moreover, now that she and the Lu family were in such a situation, she felt that there was no need for her to be so rigid. Moreover, Li Muhua wouldn't want her to call her "Mom".
"Leng Xinyu, you're in B City, right?"
Li Muhua couldn't be bothered to beat around the bush with her. Her female voice was still a little sharp over the phone. "Don't try to hide it from me. I know that you went to B City with Qin Fangang. I have many spies in the Lu Clan. The two of you are so vivid. Do you think that no one will know that you left C City? "
“”
Xin Yu really didn't think of hiding anything. After all, who in the Lu family didn't know about her and Qin Fangang? Why should she care about Li Muhua?
However, she didn't like the way this woman spoke. This kind of aggressiveness and it was as if she knew that she was sneaking around and didn't dare to let others know. Naturally, Xin Yu wasn't convinced in her heart.
She squeezed her earphone tightly and said neither servile nor overbearing, "I'm in B City. I never thought of hiding it from you, and you didn't give me a chance to speak. But if you're just calling to confirm this matter, then I've already given you the answer. I'm really in B City with Qin Fangang. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up first."
"What's the hurry?"
When Li Muhua heard that she was about to hang up, she abruptly interrupted her. She sneered coldly and said in a mocking tone, "You're indeed different now. Leng Xinyu, when you first entered the Lu family five years ago, do you still remember what you were like? You were so delicate. You were so careful when you called me 'Mom', as if you were afraid that you would upset someone. At that time, you were wise to protect yourself. Even if you were wronged, you didn't dare to say a word. But you didn't change much in the five years you were in England. When you just came back, you were more tactful. Do you know that you have completely changed now? Your tone is different now. No matter what, I'm still your elder. Don't you know how to greet me when you answer my call? "
Xin Yu listened to Li Muhua's incessant chatter without batting an eyelid. When she heard the last sentence, she was truly surprised.
"I thought you didn't care."
“”
Li Muhua was choked by her sudden words. Xin Yu didn't see how interesting her expression was on the other end of the phone. But even though she couldn't see it, she could guess it just by hearing her tense breathing.
"I know you're all grown up now. Isn't it just because you have Qin Fangang backing you up?"
Li Muhua harrumphed and scolded fiercely, "Leng Xinyu, you made my son a cuckold. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning for doing such a thing? Now you still dare to be so brazen in front of me. Do you believe that I'll …"
"If you don't have anything else to say, then I'm hanging up."
Xin Yu couldn't be bothered to listen to Li Muhua's meaningless scolding. In the Lu family, she despised Li Muhua the most. She kept saying that she made her son a cuckold. She admitted that the thing between her and Qin Fangang was not morally acceptable. She had never denied this point. But anyone had the right to point at her and call her shameless, but Li Muhua had the least right.
So what if she was Lu Yihan's mother?
Who would be the one giving the GUI less than her? She didn't want to be compared to this kind of woman because that would lower her status. She didn't know what was going on between Li Muhua and that man. But previously, the newspapers had already reported this, yet she was still safe and sound. Lu Shiyun didn't even mention a word about it. Just from this incident, Xin Yu had already deeply experienced —
A wealthy family like the Lu family was really as deep as the ocean. They were in a completely different world from her.
"Leng Xinyu! Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you have a man backing you up. I haven't finished speaking, why are you hanging up? "
Xin Yu was speechless.
She resisted the urge to throw the phone out of the car window. Xin Yu thought that if she wasn't Lu Shiyun's wife, and if she wasn't still her "mother-in-law" in name, she really wouldn't want to listen to her nonsense at all.
Li Muhua was almost done venting. She probably knew that if she continued talking nonsense, Xin Yu would really hang up. She cut to the chase. "I'm calling to tell you that I happen to be in B City. I want to meet you while I'm at it."
Xin Yu was speechless.
Why was Li Muhua so funny?
Xin Yu was really surprised. She didn't expect Li Muhua to be in B City. But she was even more surprised that Li Muhua wanted to meet her. Why did she want to meet her?
"I'm on a business trip."
"Leng Xinyu, I've said it before. Don't try to hide anything from me. I know that you're here with Qin Fangang. What business trip? Do you really think I don't know about the internal affairs of the Lu Clan?"
Xin Yu didn't want to meet Li Muhua, so she wanted to find a random excuse. But before she could finish speaking, Li Muhua interrupted her. Xin Yu muttered to herself for a moment. She didn't want to hide anything anymore, so she said directly, "If there's anything you need, please tell me over the phone. I don't want to walk around."
Li Muhua had expected her to refuse, so she didn't get angry. She smiled confidently and said, "You'll want to meet me, Leng Xinyu. Aren't you curious at all? Five years ago, your father suddenly lost his mind and went crazy for five years. You exchanged a lifetime of happiness for a chance for him to survive. Haven't you thought about the reason? "
Xin Yu's heart skipped a beat.
This kind of topic was definitely tempting to her. In the past, she probably wouldn't have thought much about Leng Dongming's sudden loss of mind. At that time, she was still young and hadn't graduated from university. Her family had undergone a huge change. After she met Lu Shiyun, she only felt like she had met a living Buddha. She listened to everything he said and always believed that whatever Lu Shiyun could give her would be the best.
She trusted that elder wholeheartedly. Of course, she also wholeheartedly wanted to be the daughter-in-law of the Lu family. As for her father's situation, during those five years, she thought that as long as it was stable, it would be fine.
She didn't think too much about the reason in the past, but during this period, she really did think a lot about it.
Many things had happened recently, and some of them were related to her father. She had been painfully puzzled. Now that she heard Li Muhua suddenly say these words, Xin Yu instantly became alert.
"What do you know about my father's situation?"
When Li Muhua heard her nervous voice, she laughed and relaxed. "You know how to be nervous now? Of course, I know a little. In fact, it's something that you don't know. If you want to know, come and see me now. "
“”
Xin Yu hesitated. Li Muhua was definitely not a kind person, especially towards her. She had never been kind. Now, she was suddenly asking her to see her. Most importantly, she was in B City. She had just parted ways with Qin Fangang, and she called her right away.
Xin Yu felt that she still had to be more cautious. She didn't have a good impression of Li Muhua, but when she thought about her father's situation, she couldn't help it.
She remembered that at that time, she had seen Li Muhua sneaking towards the doctor at the entrance of her father's hospital. There had been no follow-up to this incident. Even Qin Fangang didn't seem to have any news. She was very curious. At the same time, she was already certain that Li Muhua definitely knew something.
"Where are you?"
After a long silence, Xin Yu finally spoke. "I'm coming over to look for you now."
Li Muhua gave her an address. Before she hung up, she added, "If I find out that you brought someone else or told Qin Fangang that you didn't come to see me alone, I won't say anything."
Xin Yu put away her phone. Through the soundproof glass, she glanced at Ji Yang, who was concentrating on driving. She swallowed her saliva and thought about it. After very carefully weighing the pros and cons, she asked Ji Yang to put down the soundproof glass.
"Ji Yang."
"Miss Leng."
"I want to go somewhere and meet someone." Xin Yu deliberated and said word by word, "But it's not convenient for you to meet the person I want to meet. So, let me out of the car at the intersection ahead."
Ji Yang frowned. The car happened to drive into a parallel parking space on the side of the road. He simply drove the car into the parking space. Then he turned to look at Xin Yu. "Miss Leng, where do you want to go? Boss Qin told me to watch over you. If you don't want to go back to the hotel now, I can take you there. "
Xin Yu felt that it was indeed inappropriate for her to meet Li Muhua alone. But she didn't dare to let her guard down because of what Li Muhua said before she hung up the phone. Right now, Leng Dongming was clearly the most important thing to her.
But in this situation, it wasn't practical for her to send Ji Yang away. She thought about it and decided to avoid the important and dwell on the trivial. "Ji Yang, I know you won't let me go alone. I don't want to hide anything from you. Hiding anything from you is like hiding something from the Fan Gang. I can tell you that the call just now was from Li Muhua. She said she's also in B City and wants me to go look for her."
Ji Yang's frown deepened. With one hand on the steering wheel, he thought about it for a moment before saying, "Miss Leng, it's not convenient for me to say too much about the Lu family. I don't know why Li Muhua is looking for you, but it's not good for you to go alone. I'll go with you."
"But she said she wants me to go alone. And if she knows I'm bringing someone, she won't say a word to me."
