Chapter 273 I'm going to have a heart attack!
Jiang Ran touched her short hair and her thin face. Having been misunderstood many times, she smiled and put her arm around Zhou Ruolan's shoulder. In front of Lu Zhentao, she kissed her aunt on the cheek.
Lu Zhentao narrowed his eyes, his killing intent growing stronger.
He raised his hand and gestured with his finger, "Take him away from me."
The bodyguards behind Lu Zhentao walked towards Jiang Ran.
"Lu Zhentao, you dare to touch her and see what happens." Zhou Ruolan glared, her sharp gaze sweeping over the bodyguards.
Lu Zhentao's bodyguards all stopped moving. They couldn't mess with their boss, and their boss's woman was even more dangerous.
"Ruolan, I accept whatever you hate me for," Lu Zhentao said coldly, "but I can't stand you finding other men. If you find one, I'll take one away and feed it to the dogs. You know me, I mean what I say."
Zhou Ruolan felt somewhat guilty. She was glad that she hadn't found the bodyguard she wanted, as it had almost cost someone their life.
"Are you sick?" Zhou Ruolan grabbed Jiang Ran's hand. "Open your eyes and take a good look. She is my own niece."
Niece? Lu Zhentao knew that Zhou Ruolan's brother had a son and a daughter, but he had never seen them. He looked at Jiang Ran carefully and realized that she was indeed a girl and did not have an Adam's apple.
Lu Zhentao called his men back, "You guys wait at the door."
“Ruolan, you’ve misunderstood,” Lu Zhentao softened his tone. “I thought she was a man, your kept man.”
"Do you have anything else to do? If not, leave now. I don't want to see you." Zhou Ruolan waved her hand, trying to get Lu Zhentao to leave.
"Ruolan, where's Yunzhou? I have something to ask him." Lu Zhentao showed no sign of leaving and sat back down on the sofa.
"What do you want to ask Yunzhou?" Zhou Ruolan guessed Lu Zhentao's intentions, and her attitude became cold and hard.
Lu Zhentao rubbed his fingers together, unable to speak in front of Zhou Ruolan, "It's about..."
“Wait,” Zhou Ruolan raised her hand to interrupt Lu Zhentao. She turned to Lin Xi and Jiang Ran and said to them, “You two go upstairs.”
Zhou Ruolan didn't want the two children to hear what she was about to say.
“Mom…” Lin Xi frowned, wanting to stay behind Zhou Ruolan.
“Auntie…” Jiang Ran didn’t want to leave either, because she was afraid that Lu Zhentao would hurt Zhou Ruolan.
“Listen to me, go upstairs,” Zhou Ruolan gave the two children a reassuring look, “He won’t do anything to me.”
At Zhou Ruolan's insistence, Lin Xi and Jiang Ran went upstairs, leaving only Zhou Ruolan and Lu Zhentao in the living room.
Zhou Ruolan sat opposite Lu Zhentao, her eyes cold and sharp. "You want to ask about your illegitimate child?"
Lu Zhentao coughed awkwardly, "Ruolan, you know about this?"
“Of course I know,” Zhou Ruolan said coldly. “I made Yunzhou do it.”
“Ruolan, Yunhang doesn’t know anything. He’s just a nine-year-old child.” Lu Zhentao frowned. He thought Zhou Ruolan wouldn’t do anything to a child, which was why he felt at ease leaving his younger son in the care of his older son.
Zhou Ruolan scoffed as if she had heard a joke, "Xixi was only a month old when you took her away. What did she know? Meng Xiuwan still sold Xixi out."
"Ruolan, you're not like that bitch. Besides, I've already killed that bitch. Calm down," Lu Zhentao said, adopting a humble tone.
He had already sent people to intercept Lu Yunhang and the disabled couple, but he was afraid that Zhou Ruolan would be angry, so he thought he would come over first to give her a heads-up.
“You killed Meng Xiuwan, which is to vent your anger. What does it have to do with me?” Zhou Ruolan rolled her eyes at him. “You didn’t even leave me a scrap of flesh to chop up, so I can only take it out on her son.”
Lu Zhentao was speechless after being confronted. He killed Meng Xiuwan because he had been cuckolded, not because of any other outrageous things she had done.
“But Yunhang is my son, I can’t just stand by and watch him be tortured.” Lu Zhentao still wanted to try his best.
"Isn't Yunzhou your own son?" Zhou Ruolan's eyes flashed with hatred. "Do you know he was almost hacked to death? Is that bastard's illegitimate child all you care about?"
"Isn't Xixi your own daughter? How could you ruin her life with your own hands? You almost killed her, do you know that?"
"What, you can't even find my child acceptable? Is it because I, Zhou Ruolan, am righteous and won't let you be cuckolded? You like excitement, don't you?"
"Ruolan!" Lu Zhentao couldn't bear to hear the words "green hat," as if they were nailing him to a pillar of shame. "I just want Yunhang to live, I..."
Lu Zhentao was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly realized something. He had missed some information, and he abruptly stood up and asked, "What did you just say? Yunzhou was almost killed? How is he now?"
“I’m sorry to disappoint you, Yunzhou is still alive,” Zhou Ruolan sneered. “You’re not still thinking of letting that illegitimate child take over the company, are you?”
"Ruolan, what nonsense are you talking about?" Lu Zhentao, knowing his eldest son was alright, sat down again. "Tell me, who wanted to hurt Yunzhou?"
“If you put even half the effort you put into your illegitimate child into Yunzhou, you wouldn’t need to ask me about Yunzhou,” Zhou Ruolan closed her eyes. “Lu Zhentao, your heart is too biased.”
"No matter how you treat me, I won't blame you. I'll only blame myself for being blind to fall for a heartless bastard like you."
“But I can’t forgive you for treating my children like this,” Zhou Ruolan said, her heart aching at the thought of her son and daughter, so much so that she couldn’t speak. After a while, she continued, “Lu Zhentao, I hate you, I hate the injustice you have done to Yunzhou and Xixi.”
"Ruolan, I..." Lu Zhentao gritted his teeth, unable to utter a single word.
Zhou Ruolan's emotions gradually calmed down. She actually knew everything, and she knew that Lu Zhentao would come to find her. There were some things she had kept in her heart for too long. She wanted to say them out loud, to say them to Lu Zhentao again and again. She wanted to torment him for the rest of his life.
Murder wasn't revenge; she wanted Lu Zhentao to live with guilt for the rest of his life, never to be free from it.
“If you want to attend Yunzhou’s wedding,” Zhou Ruolan paused, then looked up at Lu Zhentao, “then you should send Lu Yunhang and the couple to the mountain village.”
“The suffering that Xixi endured must be experienced by Meng Xiuwan’s son as well.”
"What do you mean? Yunzhou is getting married? Who is the bride? I don't know anything about it." Lu Zhentao thought to himself that he had only been away for a little over a month, and his eldest son was getting married.
“Yes, I am very satisfied with this daughter-in-law,” Zhou Ruolan lowered her eyes and stopped looking at Lu Zhentao. “Yunzhou is almost thirty. In the eighteen years I have been locked up, you have only paid attention to Lu Yunqi’s marriage and never cared about Yunzhou’s marriage.”
“As your own mother, I can’t stand seeing my son remain single, unlike you, who likes to meddle in other people’s children’s affairs.”
Lu Zhentao: I'm going to have a heart attack!
