Chapter 642: Just an Illegitimate Daughter

Lu Yingxue covered her cheeks, feeling the numbness and burning pain coming from her skin.

She had just slapped Ye Ying in the villa, and the slap hit her face so quickly.

She bit her lip and tried to be kind: "Aunt, what are you doing?"

Lu Yutong looked at her face. Lu Yingxue was indeed beautiful and elegant. Although her facial features were not as gorgeous as others, she knew how to play to her strengths and avoid her weaknesses. Her appearance was only 70%, but she managed to raise it to 90%.

It’s a pity that the right cheek is now wrapped in gauze and looks badly injured.

She said in a hoarse voice, "When I went abroad, you were only as tall as the table. At that time, you were still very close to me, your aunt. After so many years, you finally lived up to everyone's expectations and grew up to be as scheming and profit-seeking as him."

"Auntie came back to China just to scold me? That's really making a fuss. If she wants to teach me, she can just make a phone call. Why does she have to travel thousands of miles?"

There was also a hint of anger in Lu Yingxue's tone.

She had been humiliated at the Qiao Qian banquet, and now she was being beaten and scolded by her own aunt.

Who the hell is Lu Yutong!

He is nothing more than a coward who escapes from reality.

Lu Yutong looked at Lu Yingxue's hateful face and said, "When you did all the bad things, didn't you ever think that I would come back? The Xiang family went bankrupt because Xiang Hai did all kinds of evil things, and he got his retribution! But it was also because you, the Lu family, condoned and took advantage of him. The children I gave birth to were not good enough, but after all, I gave birth to them after ten months of pregnancy."

Lu Yingxue sneered, "Yes, your son is in jail, and your daughter has fallen into depravity. If it weren't for me, their fate would be even more tragic."

"Lu Yingxue, I'm not here to beat around the bush with you."

Lu Yutong questioned, "I know that you were the one who set Mingzhu up with Zhao Chang, and that you, the Lu family, used her as a pawn. So now tell me, where is Mingzhu?"

"How would I know where she was fooling around?"

Lu Yingxue only released news that she forgave Xiang Mingzhu for scratching her face and that the Lu family would discipline her more. But since then, there has been no news about Xiang Mingzhu.

"Don't play dumb."

"Aunt, I really don't know where Mingzhu has gone. Look at my face, it's all hers. Why would I care about her? I wish she would die on her own. Who knows, she might have found some sponsor to survive."

Lu Yingxue walked to the tea table, poured herself a cup of warm water and drank it.

"You really won't hand over the person?" There was a hint of coldness in Lu Yutong's eyes.

"I have no one here, how can I make friends? How can I be responsible for my aunt's biological daughter? Her own mother has abandoned her daughter in the country and ignored her. As her cousin, do I have to be Xiang Mingzhu's mother?"

Lu Yingxue put down the teacup without any respect for Lu Yutong.

She's had enough!

Why does everyone want to go against her?

Lu Yutong took a deep breath, and she gradually calmed down and said, "I will only give you one day. If you can't find Mingzhu, I will make the events of that year public. I don't think you in the Lu family would like to see that day."

What happened back then?

Lu Yingxue's heart sank.

It is the origin of my father and Cheng Han, as well as the hidden story of the needle testing conference that year.

"Aunt, don't use this to threaten me. How can you explain what happened back then? You don't have any evidence!"

"I have no evidence, but..."

A mocking smile appeared on Lu Yutong's lips. "Your father must not have told you, you..."

"Yutong!"

Before Lu Yutong could finish her words, she heard a loud shout from outside the door.

Lu Bannong hurried back.

Lu Yutong looked at him mockingly for a long time and said, "Brother, you are old."

"Yutong, what are your plans for returning to China this time..." Lu Bangnong was used to disguising himself, and in front of many people he looked like a harmless good guy.

Lu Yutong knew best how cold-blooded this man was.

It was he who personally sent her to Xiang Hai's bed, and she was forced to marry into the Xiang family. She was forced by Xiang Hai to give birth to children continuously.

This crippled body won't last many more years.

"Don't try to get close to me." Lu Yutong looked at him expressionlessly, hatred in his eyes, "I came back to China to take Mingzhu away. If you agree to my conditions, I will keep everything that happened back then a secret! Including..."

She glanced at Lu Yingxue.

Lu Yingxue had an inexplicable feeling in her heart.

Lu Bangnong comforted her, "Okay. Yingxue, go and bring Mingzhu back. Remember to tell her not to give up on herself and to dress up nicely to meet her mother. Didn't she always say she missed her mother before?"

This was to remind Lu Yingxue to dress Xiang Mingzhu up well.

Xiang Mingzhu had been locked up in the basement. Lu Yingxue wanted to prepare a prescription and tested it on her without any regard for their sisterly relationship.

Lu Yingxue nodded, glanced at Lu Yutong and said, "Okay, Father. I'll go and ask Mingzhu to come out now. She should be very happy to see her mother."

After this period of training, Xiang Mingzhu should know what she should and should not say.

Lu Yingxue sneered, turned and walked to the corner.

But she was cautious and stood in the corner for a while.

There is a secret between my aunt and my father, and this secret is about her.

Lu Bannong retracted his gaze, poured a cup of tea for Lu Yutong and said, "Yutong, I am sorry for what happened back then. But if the Lu family wants to develop, we must rely on Xianghai. He said he fell in love with you at first sight, and I thought you would also fall in love with each other over time. I didn't expect... I formally apologize to you."

Lu Yutong raised his hand and clapped.

The boiling hot tea spilled onto the ground with a clanging sound.

"If you had told me this kind of nonsense, I would have believed it. Is it still useful to apologize after such a long time?" Lu Yutong's eyes turned red. "I took into consideration that you are my biological brother, so I kept it to myself for many years and never told you the truth. Don't worry, since I didn't tell you the truth back then, I will never bring it up now."

Lu Yutong took a breath and said, "I only have one condition, take the pearl away."

"Okay, I promise you everything."

Lu Yutong sneered: "Because she is no longer useful? That's why you agreed so readily? You used the same method on my daughter that you used on me. Lu Bannong, you are really not a human being."

"Yutong, I am doing this for the development of the family. If it weren't for me, you would have no future if you married that poor boy from the Shen family."

"Are you trying to remind me that you killed Shen Mo? Back then I shouldn't have..."

Lu Yutong paused, "I am guilty too, and I should repent for the rest of my life. I have the same dirty blood as you, and I have been your accomplice for decades. My hands are already stained with blood, and I can never wash them clean."

She laughed at herself, "But you raised Lu Yingxue so well! She's just an illegitimate daughter!"

Lu Yingxue, who was standing at the corner, had a stiff expression.

Is she an illegitimate daughter?
