Chapter 132
Wedding postponed
Hu Ouhua reached out and gently placed her hand on the back of Lu Yuetang's hand, saying softly, "Don't be like this. Has anything happened to you recently? You can tell me. After all... we've both been married, so we have to shoulder everything together."
Under the yellowish tungsten light, Lu Yuetang's face was filled with a dark gold.
He held her hand with his backhand, and asked anxiously, "Really?"
"Of course."
Hu Ouhua answered him without hesitation.
This is what she thinks a couple should look like.
We share happiness and misfortune.
"Okay." Lu Yuetang calmed himself down.
He leaned forward slightly, with a large area of bright gold floating between his clear-cut brows. His eyes were tinged with a hint of sorrow, and he said in a dull and sad tone: "Who is the father of the child? From what I know about you, you are not a casual person, but I have repeatedly recalled the past and found that your hatred for Yang Wei is the deepest and heaviest. Did he hurt you, then, then..."
In an instant, two dark clouds covered Hu Ouhua's beautiful cheeks. The smile in her eyes gradually dissipated and suddenly turned cold, becoming cold and dark, with a hint of self-mockery at the corners of her lips.
She took a deep breath and silently withdrew her hand. The admiration and love in his eyes turned into a heavy mountain, pressing on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.
I originally wanted to tell it all.
At this moment, she completely lost her courage and strength. She didn't want to look at his face anymore. She said sadly, "...Do you think the child is Yang Wei's flesh and blood?"
"No, no, I..."
When Lu Yuetang saw her sad look, his heart ached and he tried to explain in a hurry, but Hu Ouhua's heart, which had been open to the world, closed at this moment.
At this moment, she didn't want to see him, nor did she want to say a word, so she said: "Please take me back. I'm a little tired."
Lu Yuetang was in a very bad mood.
He knew that today's talk had failed.
The huge rock pressing on my heart seemed to have become even heavier.
After sending Hu Ouhua back to school, she said weakly before getting off the car: "I have something else to do at the moment. The academic pressure at school is great. Please don't come to see me for the time being."
These words made Lu Yuetang feel very uncomfortable.
He knew that she was angry and would not listen to anything he said, so he could only watch her return to the dormitory silently, planning to come back to explain things to her in the morning.
However, on the second day, the third day, and the fourth day, as the wedding was approaching, Lu Yuetang came to see her several times, but she almost always avoided him.
It was as if she didn't want to see him.
The Lu family was very worried.
Gu Wanru came every day, but was rejected every time by the people in dormitory 160, who said that Hu Ouhua had a grudge and it was not convenient for her to see them for the time being.
Three days before the wedding, Gu Wanru received a letter from Hu Ouhua breaking off the engagement, saying that she would reconsider her marriage with Lu Yuetang.
This made everyone in the Lu family worried.
Even Lu Bo-ting, who always respected his son, was furious. He chased to his son's office and slammed the table: "What the hell are you doing? How could you cause such a big trouble for no reason? After all, Ouhua is pregnant with your child, how could you make her so sad that she even wants to cancel the marriage?"
Lu Yuetang took off his military cap, put his hands on his head, and his face was full of pain.
Pah pah.
Lu Baiting stepped forward and kicked his son's chair hard. If Lu Yuetang hadn't had good self-control, it would have been kicked over.
"No matter what, Ouhua is the daughter-in-law that our Lu family has chosen. No matter how reckless you are, we would rather have her. If she doesn't like you, just get out of Kyoto and we won't be bothered by it. Look at your character and your ability to cause trouble again and again. Do you think there is any other woman in the world who would like you?" he said angrily.
I'm so pissed off.
Lu Yuetang remained silent.
He thought that they both needed some time to deal with this matter.
"I tell you, the wedding can be postponed, but you and Ouhua have obtained a marriage certificate and are officially married. This matter is not like before, you can't mess around with it. There is no room for regret. There is no such irresponsible thing in our Lu family."
Lu Baiting left in a rage.
He also directly stated that the wedding can be postponed, but the two of them have a formal military marriage, and it is not something that can be canceled just because they want to. They are all adults, so it is best to think things through.
Lu Yuetang leaned back and his head sank backwards.
After a while, Shen Fubai came back from outside with a tape in his hand. He handed it to Lu Yuetang: "Listen to it yourself. I have done my best."
Lu Yuetang's eyes narrowed drastically.
He quickly took the tape, took the tape recorder, found a secluded and deserted room, put the tape in and listened carefully.
In it, Shen Fubai traveled to many places and introduced Yang Wei's personal life bit by bit, including his relationship with the Hu family and Hu Ouhua.
From Yang's relatives to the neighbors, including Yang Wei's colleagues at work and his best friend, he asked almost everyone.
After listening to everything, Lu Yuetang came to an accurate conclusion: Yang Wei had only had a relationship with Song Jingsheng and had rarely met Hu Ouhua.
In an instant, Yang Wei's suspicion was ruled out.
Somehow, Lu Yuetang felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.
He suddenly remembered that there was someone he hadn't asked.
So, after Lu Yuetang unspooled the tape, he drove hurriedly home.
What a coincidence.
Except for Liu Mei, everyone else in the house was out, including Yang Jiaojiao, whom he was looking for.
Just as Lu Yuetang was driving back with a disappointed look on his face, he caught sight of Yang Jiaojiao's figure beside the small woods outside the compound.
He parked the car and hurried after him.
Before we got closer, we heard the sound of a heated argument coming from the grove.
"Yang Jiaojiao, you should never lie to me. You are obviously together with Captain Lu, and you still want me to be the scapegoat. Don't you think this is disgusting? I tell you, I won't get married--"
A man with a crew cut and wearing a navy blue suit stood in the woods.
He was polite, but when he said this, it was obvious that he was extremely angry.
"No, Mingtang, please listen to my explanation. I——"
Yang Jiaojiao was so angry that she kept pulling Li Mingtang who was about to leave.
But Li Mingtang was obviously very angry. He didn't want to listen to a word or say a word. He walked out with a green face. However, Yang Jiaojiao held his legs and he couldn't walk. He could only drag him out little by little.
Yang Jiaojiao cried and shouted.
She refused to let go: "Mingtang, I really like you, how can you say such things? People outside are just hoping that I will suffer. Someone is deliberately making up stories about me."
"Why don't you trust me?"
Tears streamed down her cheeks.
Angry and anxious, anxious and sad.
After all the things that happened in Kyoto, her heart slowly settled down. She had figured out that the right saddle matches the right horse. She and Li Mingtang were just the right match: he was neither too high-class nor too demeaning to her.
Although it can't be compared with the Lu family, at least she will have a stable life.
Li Mingtang was like the last straw in her drowning life.
She didn't want to give up.
