Chapter 785 If You Don’t Tell Me, I Will Die
The LCD TV screen was playing Lu Yingxue's recent interviews and some event reports.
The sound is very soft.
But it seems even more out of place in this deserted atmosphere.
"Mingzhu, Mommy cooked some dumplings for you. I made these myself, and the babysitter went home for the New Year. We'll just have a simple meal, mother and daughter. Try them and see if they're delicious."
Lu Yutong brought a bowl full of dumplings and placed it on the coffee table, then spoke to Xiang Mingzhu with a smile.
"Doctor Xia said your condition is gradually stabilizing. We will go abroad after the New Year. We will put aside all the things in the capital and start anew in a place where we don't know you at all."
Xiang Mingzhu's hands fell at his sides, clenched into fists.
She suddenly lost her temper and swept the bowl of piping hot dumplings to the ground.
The dumpling soup splashed on her, but she didn't even notice it.
"restart?"
Her eyes flushed as she pointed at the smug Lu Yingxue on the TV screen and said, "You want me to start over? The culprit who hurt me is so proud and admired by so many people! Why should you ask me to go abroad to avoid her limelight?"
Lu Yutong looked at her in a daze, as if she couldn't believe how her daughter, who had been so well-behaved recently, could become like this.
Hasn't she let it go yet?
"Mingzhu, you..."
"They gave me to Zhao Chang to play with at will. I was infamous and despised, suffering every day! I saw that Lu Yingxue's facial injuries had healed, and she even became famous and became the president of the Chinese Medicine Association. Why do you ask me to let it go? Lu Yutong, am I not your biological daughter?"
"Mingzhu, I know you've suffered a lot. How could I not feel sorry for you? But we can't defeat them right now. Wouldn't it be better for us to go abroad and live a good life?"
Lu Yutong's feelings for her weren't that deep originally, but after spending some time together, he could even develop feelings for her.
At this time, facing Xiang Mingzhu's questioning, she was in great pain.
"Mingzhu, it's all mom's fault for not protecting you. If I had done that earlier... I'm sorry." Lu Yutong felt extremely guilty, with tears streaming down her face.
She was really sad.
Xiang Mingzhu pushed her away, "You are sorry for me! You say sorry, but you still side with the Lu family father and daughter! I am nothing but a dog that you can summon and dismiss at will! If you want to abandon me, abandon me. If you need me, come back to me."
"No, Mingzhu, that's not the case. It was your father who treated me... I was also wrong. I shouldn't have taken my anger out on you, an innocent person. Listen to your mother, end this and go abroad to start a new life. Tomorrow... tomorrow we'll leave!"
"You're dreaming! How could I allow an illegitimate daughter to be so glorious!"
Xiang Mingzhu stared at her with hatred in her eyes, "You are also an accomplice."
Lu Yutong was stunned. "When did you know... Yingxue was an illegitimate daughter?"
"I eavesdropped. Who would have thought that the eldest daughter of the Lu family was actually a despicable illegitimate daughter? She doesn't deserve to be liked by so many people." Xiang Mingzhu couldn't sleep every night whenever she thought about it.
"Mingzhu, this matter involves a lot of people. You can't tell anyone casually, otherwise we will be even more sad if the Lu family goes bankrupt. A lot of what I have gained comes from the Lu family..."
All her real estate assets abroad were given by Lu Bannong to appease her.
Over the years, I have given her a lot of money. Otherwise, how could a woman like her live so freely and comfortably abroad?
She said she was recuperating from an illness, but she just didn't want to go back to China and see the man from the Xiang family.
"hehe……"
Xiang Mingzhu laughed so wildly that tears came out.
"You keep saying you're my mother, but how many things are you hiding from me? Besides the fact that Lu Yingxue is an illegitimate daughter, what other secrets do you have? Lu Bannong is so wary of you, you must have something on him."
"Mingzhu, no. We are siblings, how could it be...ah!"
Lu Yutong watched helplessly as Xiang Mingzhu took out the fruit knife from the coffee table and slashed her wrist with it, leaving a wound.
Bright red blood dripped onto the floor.
Drop by drop, they gathered into a small pool.
Dazzling.
Xiang Mingzhu's eyes were bloodshot as she pressed him, "I know you have a secret, will you tell me?"
Lu Yutong pleaded, "Mingzhu, put down the fruit knife first."
Xiang Mingzhu slashed her wrist again: "My patience is short. If you can bear to watch me bleed to death, then shut your mouth and don't say a word to me. Let's see whether you care more about me, your daughter who was abandoned by you since childhood, or the Lu family father and daughter."
She is really cruel to herself.
If she can't kill Lu Yingxue, she doesn't want to live anymore.
She couldn't bear to see Lu Yingxue living such a glorious life.
Lu Yutong covered her lips, her face pale with shock.
"Mingzhu, don't scare mom, don't scare me!"
"Mom? Ha..." She laughed sarcastically, "If you don't tell me, I'll cut the artery in my wrist in the next second! I won't give you any leeway, unless you want to kill me."
"Mingzhu, don't hurt yourself!"
"I'll count down to three seconds, three..."
Xiang Mingzhu was tortured to the point of madness. If Lu Yingxue didn't die, her heartache would never go away. "Second..."
"I say!"
Lu Yutong yelled, "I'm telling you! Don't move, I'll tell you everything!"
Her voice was hoarse, and her well-maintained face showed a bleak look. "Lu Yingxue is an illegitimate daughter. She is the daughter of Lu Bannong and Cheng Qingnian. Cheng Qingnian is Cheng Han's biological daughter. Lu Yingxue is Cheng Han's biological granddaughter."
The truth is more shocking than imagined.
Xiang Mingzhu never thought that Lu Yingxue could be related to Cheng Han. "What happened back then?"
"Back then, your uncle accidentally learned that Cheng Han had an elderly daughter whom he doted on. So he deliberately approached Cheng Qingnian and made her fall in love with him. During their daily interactions, he secretly shared Cheng Han's experience notes with your uncle, which helped your uncle's medical skills improve by leaps and bounds.
On the day of the final competition between Cheng Han and your uncle, your uncle tricked her into secretly drugging Cheng Han, causing him to lose the competition. From then on, your uncle rode on Cheng Han's reputation as a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to rise to prominence."
"Then what?"
That past was probably mixed with too much filth and dirt, so that Lu Yutong found it difficult to recall it.
"Then... Cheng Han discovered his own daughter's betrayal. Cheng Qingnian was so obsessed with marrying your uncle that they severed all ties." Lu Yutong smiled sarcastically. "What use was there for a Cheng Qingnian like that? Later, your uncle married the eldest daughter of the He family. Cheng Qingnian committed suicide after giving birth to the child. The news of her death spread, and there has been no news since. And that child grew up as the eldest daughter of the Lu family..."
Xiang Mingzhu frowned: "Is Cheng Qingnian really dead?"
"I thought she was dead at first, too. It wasn't until I saw the narcoleptic woman who appeared in the final round of the needle trial that I realized she wasn't dead at all. She was just half-dead, worse than dead."
“It’s her!”
It turns out that she is Lu Yingxue's mother!
Xiang Mingzhu received so much information that she didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Mingzhu." Lu Yutong grabbed her clothes and begged, "Don't tell anyone else about this, otherwise the Lu family will be in turmoil."
