She's so cute and sweet, I really want to hug her.
Su Tiantian didn't want to be hugged by someone she didn't know well, but Lu Chen looked so pitiful that she couldn't bear to refuse.
So she walked over to Lu Chen and hugged him.
"Thank you……"
Lu Chen thanked him gratefully, feeling an indescribable warmth in his heart, as if he had gained a lot of strength.
He was comforted.
Su Tiantian fell into a deep sleep only after leaving Lu Chen's dream.
Lu Chen opened his eyes in the night and was in a daze for a while.
That dream, that embrace, felt so real that he didn't even feel like it was a dream.
Unable to sleep any longer, he got out of bed, went to the balcony, and sat quietly waiting for dawn.
This time, no matter how much his parents made a fuss, he would not back down. He wanted Zhao Yujiao to get what she deserved!
The phone rang before dawn.
Lu Chen frowned and went downstairs to answer the phone; it was a call from the hospital.
"Hello Mr. Lu Chen, your father is having a heart attack and is being resuscitated. Please come immediately!"
After hanging up the phone, Lu Chen felt a tightness in his chest. He let out a soft sigh and finally went out.
When he drove to the hospital, his father, Lu Yuanshan, had already been moved to a ward.
Zhao Yujiao was also inside. When she saw Lu Chen, she rolled her eyes, snorted coldly, and turned her head away, ignoring him.
The mother, Lin Xianghua, said sternly, "You still know how to come? I thought you didn't recognize us as your parents anymore."
Lin Xianghua's gaze towards Lu Chen was filled with deep dissatisfaction.
Lu Chen walked to the bedside without saying a word and asked calmly, "How is Dad?"
"You're lucky you're not going to die from the timely rescue, but if you keep disobeying like this, you'll probably drive me to my death sooner or later."
Lin Xianghua's words were barbed and sarcastic.
Zhao Yujiao sneered and said, "Godmother, he's all grown up now, he won't listen to anything you say."
Zhao Yujiao was fearless. She didn't believe that Lu Yuanshan was so angry with Lu Chen that Lu Chen could still hold her accountable.
Can Lu Chen really bear the burden of Lu Yuanshan's life?
Don't think she doesn't know; Lu Chen has a very serious mental illness.
What if I refuse to forgive her? In the end, I'll still have to swallow my pride and bear the pain.
"Lu Chen, your father treats Yu Jiao like his own daughter. You want to send her to jail? Do you think that's reasonable? Yu Jiao is just young and naive. Why are you arguing with her?"
Lin Xianghua looked at Lu Chen and spoke coldly and arrogantly.
Lu Chen lowered his eyes and remained silent.
He was not loved as a child, and even if he got perfect scores in every subject, he would not get a smile from his parents.
But when she was ten years old, her parents adopted her as their daughter, and she received all their love.
They always say that a little cotton-padded jacket is still the warmest.
Zhao Yujiao was very possessive; she wanted everything he owned, and he gave in to her for eighteen years.
He had feelings for a girl, and Zhao Yujiao couldn't stand it, so she started to harass him. The more he disliked her, the more she pestered him.
They were even willing to take his life.
How can he forgive?
If it had been Zhao Yujiao who almost lost her life, her parents would probably have sent her to jail long ago.
“Say something now. Say you won’t pursue the matter and that you will withdraw the lawsuit so that your father can recover.”
Lin Xianghua was annoyed to see Lu Chen with his head down, so she slapped him to force him to speak.
Lu Chen remained silent.
Seeing his expression, Zhao Yujiao grew anxious and frowned, speaking coldly, "Brother, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time, I beg you."
Zhao Yujiao was spoiled rotten. Not only did her adoptive parents love her, but her biological parents also loved her very much.
The Zhao family was unaware of this matter.
The Lu family kept the matter a secret. Zhao Yujiao was released on bail shortly after being taken away. Now that the higher-ups have informed them, as long as Lu Chen doesn't pursue the matter further, this issue can be resolved peacefully.
But if Lu Chen remains adamant, Zhao Yujiao will really go to jail. Even if he uses his power to protect her, she will still have to go to prison.
"Your sister has already bowed her head, what more do you want? Do you want her to kneel down and beg you? Do you really want to see us driven to our deaths by anger? Do you want your father and me to kneel down and beg you too?"
Lin Xianghua was furious when she saw that Lu Chen was still silent.
Just then, Lu Yuanshan opened his eyes.
"Cough cough—"
His weak cough drew the attention of the three men.
Zhao Yujiao immediately grasped Lu Yuanshan's hand and asked with concern, "Godfather, how are you feeling? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Lu Yuanshan touched his chest: "I'm fine, I was just worried about you."
Lin Xianghua wiped away her tears, "Old man, you scared me to death! You almost didn't make it. This unfilial son is still making us angry. He'd love to make us all die... Waaah..."
Lu Chen lowered his eyes, his heart aching. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails pierced his palms, but he felt no pain at all.
“Lu Chen…”
Lu Yuanshan spoke weakly.
"Dad, Zhao Yujiao did something illegal, I will not forgive her..."
Lu Chen spoke before Lu Yuanshan could.
He will not forgive Zhao Yujiao.
Seeing that he was still determined to put Zhao Yujiao in jail, Lin Xianghua got angry and grabbed Lu Chen to hit him.
"You heartless bastard! Can't stand to see your sister living a happy life? She's already found a good match. If you hadn't been up to no good and seduced her, why would she like you and keep bothering you? Don't pretend to be innocent. We've seen through you a long time ago!"
"She's getting engaged soon. If you dare ruin her marriage, I'll fight you to the death, you believe me!"
No matter how much Lin Xianghua pinched and hit him, she still felt unsatisfied.
Lu Chen wouldn't retaliate, but he also refused to say he forgave Zhao Yujiao.
After Zhao Yujiao murdered him, she was about to get engaged to someone else.
In Zhao Yujiao's view, if she can't have something, she should just die; she deserves a wonderful life.
Zhao Yujiao didn't really like or love him; she just wanted to torment and torment him.
He came back alive, and he even brought evidence to sue her. This is simply outrageous.
But Zhao Yujiao wasn't worried. She only needed to shed a few tears, and her godmother and godfather would take care of the aftermath.
"Lu Chen, are you really trying to drive me to my death? Your sister was just being immature before, what's wrong with you, as her brother, letting her be? How can a man be so petty, cough cough cough..."
Lu Yuanshan was also furious, his face turning red as he angrily questioned Lu Chen.
Lu Chen swayed, feeling dizzy and his vision blurred, but he still didn't speak.
He was determined to make Zhao Yujiao pay the price.
"Get out, get out—"
Lu Yuanshan pointed at the door, trembling, and roared.
Lin Xianghua also released Lu Chen. She glared at Lu Chen and cursed, "You heartless dog! If I had known you were this kind of person, I should have strangled you back then. Raising you and nurturing you would have been worse than raising a dog!"
Zhao Yujiao looked at Lu Chen with schadenfreude, knowing that Lu Chen must be extremely sad.
What Lu Chen couldn't have, she easily obtained. After patting Lu Yuanshan's chest, she said, "Godfather and Godmother, please calm down. Don't hurt yourself over such a small matter. It will break my heart. If my brother won't forgive me, then let it go..."
