Those who don't know the situation might think that Old Master Luo was acting out of kindness and that the medicine he gave to Lu Anyu was a life-saving remedy.
Ke Luo knew all too well how ruthless her father was.
If this drug were injected into Lu Anyu's body, it would only hasten his death.
"Dad, I could never do that. Forget about it."
Luo Wuyan gripped her phone, breathing heavily, her starry eyes bloodshot.
"Fine, you don't have to agree to my request, but you can forget about being with that kid from the Shen family anymore. I will make sure you get married to Steven as soon as possible."
Old Master Luo's voice was filled with a strong sense of hostility and anger.
"You think you can threaten me like this? Dream on. I can live without men, but I won't let anyone hurt Vivi and her child."
Luo Wuyan was so angry that his veins bulged, and he roared at the person on the other end of the phone.
"Fine, since you want to be a good person, I'll make sure you can't be one. I have plenty of people who can help me poison Lu Anyu during his surgery. I'll have someone pin this all on you."
This way, I can completely sever my relationship with Lu Zhiwei. This suits me perfectly.
Upon hearing this, Luo Wuyan panicked, her lips trembling with fear: "You've gone too far!"
"Being born into the Luo family is your destiny. If you want to continue supporting that pretty boy from the Shen family, handle this matter well, and I can turn a blind eye. The medicine will be delivered to you by a special person."
After saying that, Grandpa Luo hung up the phone.
Luo Wuyan lay stunned on the hospital bed as if she had lost her soul, her phone slipping from her palm and falling to the ground.
The screen is broken.
It seems to be indicating something.
After finishing his business with Lu Zhiwei, Shen Jiarui returned to the hospital to be with Luo Wuyan.
Upon entering, I was immediately struck by a sense of oppressive sadness.
"I brought you your favorite egg yolk pastries, would you like some?" Shen Jiarui walked to the bedside carrying an exquisitely crafted cardboard box.
Luo Wuyan took a deep breath, quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and turned around. "Shen Jiarui, let's run away, run as far away as possible, away from the place where we grew up, away from all this trouble, okay?"
"Didn't I already elope with you from the US to Yunzhou? Where else do you want to go? I'll take you. I'll have my assistant book the tickets right away."
Shen Jiarui sat down, opened the cardboard box, and gave her a piece of egg yolk pastry.
Luo Wuyan pushed his hand away; she had no appetite and didn't want to eat at all.
“I’m not going there for fun, I’m serious. If you’re willing to leave everything here and take me away, I’ll marry you.”
Luo Wuyan bit her lip and said very seriously.
Shen Jiarui was somewhat flattered, his facial muscles twitching slightly as he looked at Luo Wuyan incredulously: "Has something happened again?"
He absolutely dared not hope that Luo Wuyan would give up everything for him, including her family and career.
There's definitely something wrong with her saying that so suddenly.
"I'm just asking you, are you willing or not?" Luo Wuyan's expression darkened, eagerly seeking Shen Jiarui's answer.
"I do," Shen Jiarui blurted out.
A hint of surprise and delight flashed in Luo Wuyan's eyes: "Really?"
“But I need some time. The Shen Group is now in my hands, and I can’t just walk away like this. I’ll hand over the work properly first and return everything to my brother. Okay?”
Shen Jiarui knew she wouldn't tell him, and he didn't intend to press her further about what had happened.
"We'll leave once you've completed the handover before An'an's surgery."
Luo Wuyan suddenly felt much more at ease, and she clenched her fists, tears welling up in her eyes.
Like a small boat floating on the sea, it instantly found a new course.
She no longer has to walk alone.
——
After being tricked by Lu Anyu, Jiang Jingyu made special efforts to pull strings and expedite the custody battle.
The court issued a written notice not long afterward.
The court hearing was scheduled for early January.
On the day of the public hearing, major media outlets received information deliberately leaked by the Shen family and came to broadcast the custody battle live.
There were many luxury cars parked in front of the courthouse.
Lu Zhiwei emerged from the black Rolls-Royce, holding her son's hand in one hand, with Jiang Zhan and her lawyer standing beside her.
In the other car, Shen Jinmo, who got out of the extended Bentley with Jiang Jingyu, was wearing a dark black suit. His angular face was thinner, his cheekbones were slightly sunken, and his whole face was as pale as paper.
Lu Zhiwei hadn't seen Shen Jinmo for quite some time.
He neither answered the phone nor showed up.
According to Jiang Zhan, Shen Jinmo was afraid to face Lu Zhiwei.
The two families arrived at the courthouse almost simultaneously.
When Jiang Jingyu saw Lu Zhiwei, she lingered at the door for a while.
Waiting for them to walk over.
As Lu Zhiwei led Lu Anyu closer, she took out a rainbow lollipop from her pocket and handed it to Lu Anyu: "An'an, are you feeling better? Grandma brought you some candy."
"Take it away, I don't want your candy." Lu Anyu tightly gripped Lu Zhiwei's hand, turned his face to the side, and held his head high, looking very arrogant.
Jiang Jingyu silently put the candy into her pocket: "It's okay, you can eat it slowly when you go back to the Shen family after you win the lawsuit."
Jiang Jingyu raised her eyes and looked at Lu Zhiwei with disdain. "Lu Zhiwei, we should thank you for working so hard to give birth to such a grandson for our Shen family. If you hadn't kept it a secret from us, I wouldn't be a grandmother."
After hearing this, Jiang Zhan clenched his fists in anger, wishing he could slap the old woman: "You're already showing off before the lawsuit has even started. You'll be crying when we lose the case."
"Don't worry, the Shen family can't possibly lose this lawsuit. We're guaranteed to win." Jiang Jingyu swayed her hips triumphantly as she walked inside.
Lu Zhiwei didn't say a word, but just held her son's hand tightly.
Shen Jinmo kept his eyes on Lu Zhiwei until Jiang Jingyu went in first, then he approached Lu Zhiwei.
His pale, thin lips parted. "You will win this lawsuit."
"Do you even need to speak up, you scumbag? Of course my sister will win." Jiang Zhan shouted as he stepped forward, standing next to Shen Jinmo like a towering mountain blocking Lu Zhiwei's path.
His sister used to be his safe haven, sheltering him from the wind and rain.
And now he is capable enough to stand in front of his sister and charge into battle.
Lu Zhiwei stared coldly at Shen Jinmo with her deep, dark eyes, her red lips curving into a sarcastic smile.
"If you don't want to win, why bother filing a lawsuit in court?" Lu Zhiwei stared straight at him with her dark and sharp eyes.
It was like a judgment by a superior, the dark gaze chillingly cold.
"Exactly! You're the one who wanted to fight for custody, and now you're the one wishing my sister a victory in the lawsuit. How can you be so hypocritical? I've never seen such a fake man. You're a disgrace to men." Jiang Zhan continued his barrage of words.
