Chapter 785 If You Don’t Tell Me, I’ll 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, try them and see if they taste good."
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 that your condition has gradually stabilized. We will go abroad after the New Year. We will put aside these things in the capital. We will go to a place where no one knows you at all and start over."
Xiang Mingzhu's hands fell at her sides and were clenched into fists.
She suddenly lost her temper and swept the bowl of boiling dumplings to the ground.
The dumpling soup splashed onto her body, but she didn't even notice it.
"Start over?"
Her eyes turned red 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 smug and popular with so many people! Why would you let me go abroad to avoid her limelight?"
Lu Yutong looked at her in a daze, as if she couldn't believe how her well-behaved daughter could become like this.
Hasn't she let it go yet?
"Mingzhu, you..."
"I was given to Zhao Chang by them to play with. I was infamous and despised, and I suffered every day! Seeing that the wound on Lu Yingxue's face had healed, and she became famous and became the president of the Chinese Medicine Association, what basis do you have to ask me to let it go? Lu Yutong, am I not your biological daughter?"
"Mingzhu, I know you've suffered a lot. How could your mother not feel sorry for you? But now we can't defeat them at all. Isn't it better for us to go abroad and live a good life?"
Lu Yutong's feelings for her were not that deep originally, but during this period of time, they had developed feelings for each other even if they were just cats and dogs.
At this time, facing Xiang Mingzhu's questioning, she was in great pain.
"Mingzhu, it's mom's fault for not protecting you. If I had left earlier... I'm sorry." Lu Yutong felt extremely guilty, with two lines of tears falling down her face.
She is really sad.
Xiang Mingzhu pushed her away, "You are sorry for me! You say sorry for me, but you still side with the Lu family father and daughter! Who am I? I am just a dog that you can summon and dismiss at will! If you want to abandon me, abandon me. If you need me, come back and find me."
"No, Mingzhu, that's not the case. It was your father who treated me... I was also wrong. I shouldn't have been angry at you who was innocent. Listen to your mother, end it all and start a new life abroad. Tomorrow... tomorrow we'll leave!"
"You're dreaming! How could I allow an illegitimate daughter to enjoy such glory!"
Xiang Mingzhu stared at her with hatred, "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 loved by so many people." Xiang Mingzhu couldn't sleep every night whenever she thought about it.
"Mingzhu, this matter involves a lot of things. You can't tell anyone casually, otherwise we will be even more sad if the Lu family falls. A lot of what I have gained comes from the Lu family..."
All her overseas real estate assets 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 of her eyes.
"You keep saying that you are my mother, but how many things have you hidden from me? Apart from the fact that Lu Yingxue is an illegitimate daughter, what other secrets do you have? Lu Bannong is so jealous of you, you must have something on him."
"Mingzhu, no. We are siblings, how could it be...ah!"
Lu Yutong watched with disdain as Xiang Mingzhu took out a fruit knife from the coffee table and slashed her wrist, leaving a cut.
Bright red blood dripped onto the floor.
Drop by drop, it gathered into a small beach.
Dazzling.
Xiang Mingzhu's eyes turned red as she pressed him, "I know you have a secret, will you tell me?"
Lu Yutong begged, "Mingzhu, put down the fruit knife first."
Xiang Mingzhu slashed her wrist again: "I have a short patience. If you can watch me bleed to death, then shut your mouth and don't say a word to me. Let's see whether you care about me, the daughter you abandoned when I was a child, or the father and daughter of the Lu family."
She is really hard on herself.
If she can't kill Lu Yingxue, she doesn't want to live anymore.
She couldn't see Lu Yingxue living such a glorious life.
Lu Yutong covered her lips, her face turning 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 on my wrist in the next second! I won't leave any room for you, unless you want to kill me."
"Mingzhu, don't hurt yourself!"
"I'll count down to three seconds, three..."
Xiang Mingzhu was driven crazy by the torture. As long as Lu Yingxue didn't die, her heart disease would never go away. "Second..."
"I said!"
Lu Yutong yelled, "I'm telling you! Don't move, I'll tell you everything!"
Her voice was hoarse, and her well-maintained face had a fading color: "Lu Yingxue is an illegitimate daughter. She is the daughter of Lu Bannong and Cheng Qingnian. Cheng Qingnian is Cheng Han's biological daughter, and Lu Yingxue is Cheng Han's 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 old daughter whom he doted on very much. So he deliberately approached Cheng Qingnian and made her fall in love with him. During their daily interactions, he secretly revealed Cheng Han's summary of experience notes to 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 seduced her and secretly drugged Cheng Han, causing Cheng Han to lose the competition. From then on, your uncle rose to prominence by riding on the reputation of Cheng Han, a national doctor."
"And then?"
That past may have been mixed with too much dirt and filth, so that Lu Yutong found it difficult to recall it.
"Then... Cheng Han discovered his biological daughter's betrayal. Cheng Qingnian was obsessed with marrying your uncle, so the father and daughter severed their relationship and stopped communicating." Lu Yutong smiled sarcastically, "What use was there in a Cheng Qingnian like this? Later, your uncle married the eldest daughter of the He family, and Cheng Qingnian committed suicide after giving birth to the child. The news of her death spread, and there has been no news since then. And the 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, until I saw the narcoleptic woman who appeared in the last round of the needle test meeting. Then I realized that she was not 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."
