“My mind is made up. We’ll get a divorce. We won’t have to live at his mercy and get pocket money anymore. We’ll be better off than we are now. I’ll exchange what I have for his money. He’ll sign the papers. Yao Yao. Mom is doing this for your own good.”
"Excuses... You're only thinking about yourself. All you want is money. All these years, it's because of your status that I haven't been able to hold my head high in front of the Lu family, and I haven't been able to make a name for myself in high society. I'm living such a miserable life because of you. Give me that thing, and I'll give it to Dad. He'll make me the vice president of Lu's Group, and then my mother and I can finally hold our heads high. Mom, listen to me, give me that thing."
Lu Jingyao gripped Zhao Xiuya's hand, her face almost contorted with rage.
Zhao Xiuying never expected that after enduring so much humiliation in the Lu family for her daughter's sake for so many years, this was the image she would have in her daughter's mind.
"Lu Yunsheng is lying to you, you silly girl..."
"Stop talking. If you just don't want to give it to me, I'll find it myself. I know where you hide things."
Lu Jingyao prepared to run into Zhao Xiuya's room.
Zhao Xiuying quickly grabbed her.
Lu Jingyao flung it away forcefully.
Zhao Xiuying, who hadn't slept all night, was exhausted and weak, and Lu Jingyao was young and strong.
She was pushed to the ground.
He hit the corner of the table with the back of his head.
He collapsed onto the expensive carpet.
Fresh blood kept gushing from the back of her head.
Zhao Xiuying lay on the ground, staring at Lu Jingyao, her mouth opening and closing silently.
Lu Jingyao was terrified.
She looked around in a panic, but no one in the living room saw her.
The housekeeper and servants happened to be out.
No one witnessed her pushing anyone.
After glancing at Zhao Xiuying on the ground, Lu Jingyao covered her head and ran away.
Lying on the ground, Zhao Xiuying's eyes were filled with tears as she stared at the ceiling and cried silently, tears rolling down her cheeks.
Despair and regret filled my chest.
How could she have given birth to such a terrible daughter?
Lu Jingyao ran out of the villa.
She hid in a shopping mall, found a coffee shop to hide in, and stayed there all morning, even turning off her phone.
Around noon.
She couldn't hold it in any longer, so she turned on her phone.
As soon as the phone was turned on, Lu Yunsheng called.
"Where are you?" The tone was filled with terrifying pressure.
"Dad, I..."
"Your mother is in the hospital, in a vegetative state. The police are looking for you. Remember what I'm about to say." Lu Yunsheng had clearly already prepared an escape route for her.
Lu Jingyao listened intently to Lu Yunsheng's instructions with a mournful face.
On the verge of collapse, it felt like I had suddenly grasped a lifeline.
"Dad, thank you. I used to think I was adopted, but I misunderstood you. You've been so good to me."
"Get to Lu Family Hospital right away."
After finishing the call, Lu Jingyao rushed to the hospital.
We arrived at Zhao Xiuying's hospital room.
The police officer in charge of the case stood at the door of the ward, seemingly waiting for her.
Lu Zhiwei was also standing at the door of the ward, leaning against the wall with a lazy posture, looking indifferent to the world.
Zhao Xiuying was brought to the hospital by the person who called for an ambulance.
If she hadn't been constantly monitoring Zhao Xiuying's every move at the Lu family home, this person would probably already be dead there.
Lu Jingyao took a deep breath, clutched the hem of her skirt, and walked up to the police.
"Are you Ms. Zhao's biological daughter?" the police officer asked her.
Lu Jingyao nodded.
"yes."
Where were you when Ms. Zhao had her accident?
“I went out and wasn’t home. I had a few words with my mom and then left. I didn’t know my mom had an accident.”
Lu Jingyao remained calm and spoke with perfect composure.
“The servants and housekeeper of the Lu family all said that when they entered the living room, they saw Lu Zhiwei squatting in front of your mother. She is very likely the one who pushed your mother down. Do you think Lu Zhiwei had a motive for the crime? Did she have a grudge against your mother?”
“Yes, last night Lu Zhiwei kept pressuring my mother for something. When my mother refused, she started plotting to kill her. Ever since she returned to the Lu family, she has been hoping for the deaths of my mother and me. It's because she suffered so much abroad since she was a child, while my mother and I enjoyed a life of luxury in the Lu family. She was just jealous and resentful.” Lu Jingyao looked at Lu Zhiwei, throwing all the blame on Lu Zhiwei and clearing herself of any wrongdoing.
Lu Zhiwei stood there with a half-smile on her face.
Listening to Lu Jingyao spouting nonsense.
After the police finished questioning her, Lu Zhiwei voluntarily handed her hands to the police: "Since I am the most suspicious, please take me back first."
Having learned their lesson last time, who would dare to arrest Lu Zhiwei so easily?
The faster they catch you, the faster they'll be proven wrong.
“Miss Lu, this…” The police officer was at a loss.
Who would hand themselves over to the police to be arrested?
"If I really am the murderer, and you don't bring me back, if I escape overnight, you won't be able to catch me," Lu Zhiwei reminded them with a smile.
Finally, the police had no choice but to take out handcuffs and put Lu Zhiwei back in.
Lu Yunsheng stood by Zhao Xiuying's bedside, looking heartbroken. He didn't even glance at Lu Zhiwei when she was taken away by the police.
Lu Jingyao found it strange that Lu Zhiwei had accepted being taken away by the police without uttering a word of protest, but she couldn't figure out what Lu Zhiwei was up to.
Lu Zhiwei followed the police to the elevator entrance.
With a ding, the elevator doors opened.
Wearing a hospital gown, Jiang Zhan came from the orthopedic ward to the neurosurgery ward.
Seeing Lu Zhiwei handcuffed, Jiang Zhan felt heartbroken.
"Let go of my sister. She could never have intentionally hurt anyone." Jiang Zhan tried to push the police away and unlock Lu Zhiwei's handcuffs.
Lu Zhiwei gave the police a look, and the police immediately took Jiang Zhan away, saying, "Don't obstruct us from performing our duties."
