Qin Qiongying did not come out for dinner again; Lu Xingye brought her the food in his bowl after he finished eating.
Lu Xingye was actually aware of his mother's intentions. After all these years, there was no point in making a fuss any longer.
"Mom, if you really can't accept it, then I'll talk to Dad and ask you two to get a divorce, okay?"
"You..." Qin Qiongying was furious. "What nonsense are you spouting, child?"
Lu Xingye sighed, "Look, you've never even considered divorcing my dad, so why don't you just live a good life with him? What's the point of making a scene like this every time?"
Qin Qiongying was heartbroken by her son's words. "What kind of talk is that? Is it my fault? What gives him the right to be so self-righteous and hypocritical towards Tang Huan? Now he's even bringing her home openly. What does he take me for?"
Lu Xingye took a deep breath. "Mom, that's just a guess. Are you sure? Since you can't get over this, why don't you just tell Dad directly? You won't. You don't dare to expose it or make it clear. Since you don't dare, why not just live a good life? Aunt Meng is dead, and only these two children are left. The Meng family left behind enough assets to support them. Dad just helped out a little. Our family didn't suffer any loss, did it?"
"Even if your guess is true, what can you do about someone who's already passed away? Do you want to win this? Do you want everyone to know, to make my dad unable to live with you anymore and then you two get a divorce? Is that what you want?"
"I..." Qin Qiongying couldn't speak. After a long while, she could only cry and say, "I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled!"
"What did I ever do to wrong Meng Suqin back then? I even considered her my best friend at one point, but how did she repay me? She seduced my husband and had two children with him. They shamelessly consummated their relationship and now they've brought the children home. Why should I just put up with this?"
Seeing his mother had gotten stuck in a dead end, Lu Xingye felt helpless. "Mom, that's just your guess. Don't take it seriously. I've always felt that Dad isn't such a bad person. He's done a great job as both a father and a husband. Putting aside this doubt, Dad has never done anything to wrong us."
"So stop being so suspicious all the time. The Meng family has indeed been kind to our family. Old Master Meng helped my father, so it's normal for my father to take care of their children! Many soldiers also raise the children of their fallen comrades. Does that mean they all have to say that those children are their illegitimate children?"
"That's different!" Qin Qiong said spiritedly. "Those two children from the Meng family don't resemble Wu Guozhu at all. On the contrary, they look somewhat like your father. Meng Suqin is such a shrewd person. If Meng Fuyan wasn't your father's daughter, she would definitely have arranged for Meng Fuyan to be engaged to our family before she died, instead of that Yuan family. They didn't dare to marry into our family, and they even look like your father. The key is that your father protected them so much. What else could they be but their own children?"
Lu Xingye sighed, "No matter what, Mom, I hope you can figure out what you really want. All of this is just your guess. Dad is a man of integrity and wouldn't do such a thing. Aunt Meng is also a proud person. Even if she really doesn't like Wu Guozhu, she wouldn't secretly be with Dad. To put it bluntly, Mom, if your guess is true, Aunt Meng will definitely want you to divorce. And in this matter, compared to her, and compared to the Meng family, you have no advantage whatsoever."
"You..." Qin Qiong was so angry that his teeth itched, but he couldn't refute her.
Lu Xingye patted her hand and comforted her, "So you see, all of this is completely illogical. People can look alike. Yanyan and Yunji do look a bit like their father, but not that obviously, right?"
"Besides, Aunt Meng has passed away, so there's no point in you making a fuss. If Dad doesn't admit it, you can't do anything about it. If you make a big fuss, Dad's reputation will be ruined, and he might lose his job. Our family's reputation will also be bad. None of the three of us are married yet, so how will we find spouses in the future? What about you? Will you still be able to live with Dad then? Are you also planning to get a divorce? Will you remarry or live alone in the future?"
Faced with a series of problems, Qin Qiongying cried, "They're just bullying me, they're just bullying me because I can't let go."
Lu Xingye felt helpless. He had tried to persuade his mother as much as he could, but if she still couldn't understand, there was nothing he could do.
After comforting her for a while, Qin Qiongying's emotions finally stabilized. It was late, and it was time to sleep. Lu Xingye went back to his room. Meng Yunji was sitting in a chair at first, but he immediately stood up when he saw Lu Xingye come in.
Seeing the little child so restrained, Lu Xingye could only sigh.
"Yunji, don't overthink things. Adult matters are none of your business. Go to sleep. Your older brother will take you out to play tomorrow."
Meng Yunji was very obedient. She nodded and obediently took off her clothes and went to bed.
It was sleeping very peacefully, lying there without moving at all.
The next day, he didn't ask Lu Xingye to take him out to play again. Instead, after everyone went to work, he told Lu Xingye that he was going to find his friends and then called his sister.
He has money on him, so paying his phone bill won't be a problem.
The call was made to the guesthouse where Meng Fuyan was staying; luckily, they had left their phone number with her.
After waiting for more than an hour, the call finally went through. Hearing her sister's voice, Meng Yunji couldn't hold back anymore.
"sister……"
Meng Fuyan was taken aback. She had only found out yesterday that she was alright. Wasn't the child quite happy about that?
It's only been a day, why does the sound sound off?
"Yunji, what's wrong?"
Meng Yunji's voice sounded somewhat aggrieved, "Sister, can I come find you?"
Meng Fuyan frowned. "What's wrong? Did someone bully you?"
Meng Yunji whispered, "No one bullied me. I just want to go to your place, sister. When are you coming to pick me up?"
Meng Fuyan knew that the little guy must have run into trouble and couldn't stay at someone else's house anymore.
"Don't be afraid, I'll finish things as soon as possible and come pick you up in the next couple of days, okay?"
Meng Yunji's eyes reddened. He wanted to say more, but he was afraid his sister would worry. He felt powerless. What was the use of saying more? If his sister could come, she definitely would. Now that she didn't have time, she couldn't come. No matter how much he said, she still couldn't come!
"Okay! Then come pick me up when you're done with your work."
"Okay, don't be afraid, I will definitely be there within three days."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Fuyan went straight to find Gu Tingzhi; she needed to go back immediately.
Gu Tingzhi was taken aback. "What's wrong? What's the matter that's so urgent?"
“It’s Yunji. I need to go pick him up. It’s not right to leave him alone at someone else’s house all the time.”
Gu Tingzhi frowned. "Did the Lu family bully him?"
