After all, what else in this world could be more heart-wrenching than being hurt by one's own mother? So, Long Jie did not say a word on the way home. It was only after they arrived home that she hugged Lu Che and comforted him, "It's all in the past …"
Lu Che did not move as he allowed Long Jie to hug him. But, it didn't take long before he began to sob in her arms.
Everyone's heart was made of flesh, so how could he not be in pain when his own mother poked a hole in his flesh?
Meanwhile, Long Jie was filled with regret. If she had known that Lu Che would have to pay such a huge price for their happiness, she would not have argued with Mother Lu so much.
"Cry. Have a good cry. When you wake up tomorrow, everything will be better."
In reality, after Lu Che left, a lot of things happened in the Lu Family Home.
Especially when his relatives and friends were discussing how to help Mother Lu, Father Lu finally lost his temper, "This is a private matter. If you're done watching the show, you can leave. My son has already said that if you don't control your mouths, he will stay with you until the end and sever his relationship with you. You should be satisfied … "
"Third Uncle!"
"Get lost …"
Father Lu's roar echoed throughout the Lu Family Home because he had reached the limit of his patience.
After everyone was dumbfounded, Father Lu stood up from his seat and said calmly to Mother Lu, "I finally understand. You want to control your son, that's why you're doing all this. You're not doing this for the good of this family."
"Tomorrow … come with me to the Civil Affairs Office. It's time for us to settle our matters and get a divorce."
As soon as Father Lu said this, everyone was shocked, especially Mother Lu.
"What did you say?"
"I said, get a divorce … I can't live with you anymore."
After speaking, Father Lu walked out of the room, putting an end to the farce.
After all, if he had controlled his wife properly, this wouldn't have happened. But … it was too late to say anything now. He was tired!
All that was left was Mother Lu. All she could do was sit on the floor and sob. She couldn't understand why her son and husband treated her like this. What did she do wrong?
The Lu Family's relatives left. After all, they didn't want to offend Lu Che. So, Mother Lu was suddenly the only one left in the lively courtyard …
And the darkness would gradually devour her.
That night, no one had a good time. Lu Che hadn't had a single drop of water since he got home. He had stayed in his study for a long time.
There was nothing Long Jie could do. All she could do was take good care of her daughter as she sat in the nursery and sighed...
He could only hope that time could heal the pain in everyone's heart.
…
The next day, Lu Che returned to normal and behaved no different than usual. As for Long Jie, she ignored everything that happened the night before and moved on. After Lu Che left for work, he returned to Tangning's side.
However, from the moment she stepped into Hyatt Regency, she had been in a daze. So, Tangning couldn't help but notice her condition.
"What happened between you and Lu Che last night? Did it cause you to be distracted at all times today? "
Since the incident was already in the past, Long Jie decided to tell Tangning everything that had happened at the Lu Family home like it was a bitter river.
"After all, Lu Che has cut off all ties with his parents."
"What's done is done. No matter how much you think about it, it's useless," Tangning comforted.
"I know … but … I really don't want Lu Che to suffer like this," Long Jie said as her eyes turned red.
"Actually, this incident isn't completely irreparable. My Long Jie may be careless, but she's not an idiot, am I right?"
Long Jie looked at Tangning helplessly, "What should I do?"
"After listening to your story, I feel that Lu Che's father is quite rational. You can try to help Lu Che."
"But, he may not be willing to see me."
"That's where you need to work hard. Long Jie, you need to remember, family is the most special of all relationships. It's true that you are related by blood, but there are some people that act recklessly because they are related by blood. Outsiders may know when to stop, but family may not."
"It doesn't matter if you argue or snatch, you need to be careful when dealing with relationships like this. Because, the people that you can actually hurt are the people that are stuck in the middle because they care!"
"But, there's one good thing about family: there's no overnight grudge. Even if you end up fighting, you can quickly make up."
Which family doesn't have their own problems?
"I'll give you a little more time to deal with this matter. Otherwise, when you come to work, you'll end up being distracted."
Long Jie nodded her head. This was a knot in her heart. Plus, seeing Lu Che in pain made her feel even worse.
But, to her surprise, by the time she found Father Lu, he and Mother Lu had already obtained their divorce certificate.
Long Jie felt that appearing in front of Father Lu at a time like this was asking for a beating. But, Father Lu did not blame her. The couple found a cafe and sat down peacefully.
"Dad … dad …"
"I know what you want to say. This decision was made by me, it had nothing to do with the two of you. Is Che Er OK?"
Long Jie shook her head, "After returning home last night, she cried and locked herself in the study room. She hasn't come out for a while."
"No one wants to see things turn out like this. But … I have to take more responsibility. If I had noticed from the start that she had become so narrow-minded, I would have corrected her earlier and things wouldn't have gotten to this point."
"But, it really has nothing to do with you. This is a matter between us."
"From now on, you and Lu Che should live a good life. Don't mind what others say."
"But, you …"
Knowing that Long Jie was genuinely worried, Father Lu smiled, "We've already lived for so long. Can't we take care of ourselves? I'm already at the age of retirement. All I need to do is plant and grow flowers at home. Perhaps, this will be the end of my life. "
"If you still acknowledge me as your father, then bring your granddaughter home to see me. I don't have any other wishes."
"Yes, of course I do."
Afterwards, Father Lu and Lu Che got on the phone and honestly explained the situation. Of course, there were some things that they couldn't turn back from.
"Dad, take good care of yourself. When you're ready, you can move in with us. That way, you can get closer to your granddaughter!"
"Things have already gotten to this point. I still need some time to calm down. That's all."
