Chapter 480: Chapter 480: He Has Become Numb

Lu Lingche stared expressionless, “So, you actually want me to divorce and marry her simply because my eldest brother likes her?”

Madam Lu was momentarily speechless, “I——”

“Your favoritism towards my elder brother has reached a level that makes me feel like I’m not your son. Only he is your son.”

“What nonsense are you talking! Of course you are my son. But you have been disobedient since childhood while your brother was the obedient one, so of course I favor him more!”

As Madam Lu spoke, she started to wipe away tears, “Lingche, your elder brother is no longer with us, are you still going to be petty about this? Don’t you think you are being too harsh? I just wanted to keep Yuyi by my side as a consolation for the future, is that not permissible?”

“Then why don’t you directly adopt her as your goddaughter?”

“I——”

Madam Lu found that she couldn’t answer the question.

Because she demanded Lu Lingche to marry Lan Yuyi with the motive of allowing the child in Lan Yuyi’s womb to legitimately inherit the Lu family’s business. She also intended to block Lu Lingche’s path, preventing him from having his own woman and child.

She wanted Lu Lingche to live in the shadow of her son for the rest of his life!

She intended to ensure that he’d never be happy in his entire life!

This is the fate that bastards should have!

Of course, she would never reveal the real truth.

She took a breath and resorted to her usual tactic, “Lingche, I called you over to settle the matters regarding the Lan family, don’t stray off-topic. Yuyi fainted because of this, don’t you feel the slightest bit of sympathy for her? If something happens to her, can you bear the responsibility to your elder brother? How will you explain to your brother in the future if you don’t take good care of her?”

It was the same old trick.

Lu Lingche was getting callused from hearing it.

Initially, his emotions would fluctuate, feeling guilt and self-blame.

Now, he was somewhat numb.

He said nothing.

Lan Ruikang, however, spoke up first, “Madam Lu, let me deal with our family’s affairs. There’s no need to bother Lingche. Let him concentrate on preparing for his wedding with Yuyi!”

“Shut up, it’s not your place to talk! You committed such a huge mistake, implicating Yuyi and the Lu family, it’s already generous that I am not holding you accountable! Had I not insisted, Mingzhen would have already forsaken the marriage with the Lan family!”

Lan Yuyi, who was pretending to be unconscious on the bed, felt a flicker of tightness in her heart!

Was Lu Mingzhen really going to abandon her?

Damn it!

It was all her father’s fault, that mistress who had no shame!

She slowly opened her eyes, pretending to have just woken up, “Aunt Yao…”

Listening to her waking up, Madam Lu was overjoyed, “Yuyi, you’re finally awake, do you feel unwell anywhere? Should I call a doctor to have a check-up?”

Lan Yuyi slowly shook her head, “I don’t feel uncomfortable. Aunt Yao, where’s my mother? She…”

“Your mother is fine, just lost some blood, but she has already been transfused. The doctor said her treatment was timely and there’s no threat to her life.”

Lan Yuyi’s eyes were slightly red, “That’s good, thank you, Aunt Yao.”

After speaking, she involuntarily looked towards Lu Lingche, only to pause in surprise.

Because, Lu Lingche was staring at her contemptuously.

This kind of look was strange and made her feel uneasy. It was as if he saw through everything, simply standing aloof, watching her perform and couldn’t even bother to expose her.

Lan Yuyi’s heart skipped a beat, surely she hadn’t messed up her acting this time?

She involuntarily clenched her fingers.

It was all her mother’s fault for trying to use the same method to snatch her father back from that mistress!

She had told her you can’t use the same trick twice, but her mother never listened to her!

She suppressed the irritation in her heart and cautiously called to him, “Lingche, did you come to see me this time? I’m sorry to have made you worry.”

Lu Lingche was as indifferent as ever, “I’m not worried, my mom is more worried.”

“Are you really not worried about me at all?”

“What’s there to worry about? You seem pretty fine, only that you’ve put on a bit too much powder on your face, which makes you look pale.”
