Lu Rong lowered his head even further.
The malted milk powder in my hand slipped and rolled onto the ground.
Lu Yunqi had no idea what had happened.
Lu Yunqi pursed his lips, his face dark as he picked up the malted milk powder from the ground. He glanced nervously at his wife to make sure she hadn't heard Yang Lin's name and seemed to be in a bad mood. He then placed the malted milk powder on the bedside table.
"Your dad is going to be discharged from the hospital."
Lu Yunqi's voice suddenly rose, and he roared angrily, "He's not my father."
Lu Rong was startled.
He stared at his boss in disbelief.
Even Sister-in-law Lu's shoulders trembled.
Boss Lu's face was fierce, and his eyes were bloodshot.
She had never seen a boss like this before.
He has always been honest, simple, and rarely smiles.
I've never lost my temper like this before.
Lu Rong knew his boss's personality well; he was stern on the surface, but his heart was the softest.
"Boss, you....."
Lu Yunqi sneered, "Does he deserve it? My wife is in poor health, everyone in the village knows that, and everyone knows to give way to a pregnant woman. Even the brigade leader told her to stay home and rest. But Yang Lin took advantage of my wife and children while I was away. If I hadn't come back in time, she would be dead."
"What grudge do I have against him that he would do this to me?"
"He is still your father, and you can't escape the societal obligation of filial piety." Lu Rong was also filled with resentment, but he was Lu Yunqi's father. If Lu Yunqi didn't acknowledge his father, he would be condemned and his reputation would be ruined.
She couldn't bear to see her child being gossiped about.
Lu Yunqi's face hardened. "Dad?"
"You mean when I was little, I had a high fever and almost died, but he took Yang Huaiyuan to buy candy. If Yunzhou hadn't been quick-witted and found Aunt Mantang, I would have died long ago. And when he came back, he blamed me for getting sick at the wrong time."
Hang me up and beat me.
"Or perhaps, Yunzhou was so skinny in his teens that he finally caught a pheasant, and the three of us siblings roasted it and ate it. Yang Huaiyuan saw this, cried, and went home saying he wanted to eat roasted chicken too."
Upon hearing this, Yang Lin, without saying a word, picked up a whip and was about to strike Yunzhou, who was covered in blood from the beating.
"Or rather, before Xingxing was even sixteen, Old Lady Yang started eyeing her, trying to marry her off to her mentally challenged nephew from her maternal family, showering her with promises of a life of luxury. Why didn't she let Yang Dacui marry him?"
Yang Lin threatened suicide to force you to agree, and what was the result?
You married Xingxing off to him for the sake of so-called marital and fatherly affection. Now Xingxing refuses to contact you. What do you think is the reason? She hates Yang Lin for marrying her off to a fool.
She hates you, why don't you stand up for her?
"You said it was so that we could have a father."
"Let me ask you, what use is a father like him?" Lu Yunqi said fiercely, finally letting out all the words he had kept bottled up for decades.
Yang Lin was the one who caused these sufferings.
Was Lu Rong completely innocent?
Her weakness and constant concessions led to today's outcome.
Lu Yunqi hated her for her lack of ambition, but he also understood that without Lu Rong's efforts to fight for them, the brothers would not be where they are today.
He was grateful to Lu Rong, but that didn't mean he harbored no resentment towards Lu Rong.
Aside from everything else, he could never forgive his sister for what happened to him.
"Boss, I know I'm weak. My Lu family is finished. If it weren't for Yang Lin, those thugs and scoundrels would bully you."
Lu Yunqi: "We would be doing very well without him."
“Eldest brother, I know I shouldn’t be soft on him, but we’ve been husband and wife after all. Mom has never thought about letting Yang Lin into the family. I just feel that if he’s too down on his luck, it won’t be good for your reputation.”
"Do you think my reputation can get any better right now?"
Lu Rong continued to persuade, "Eldest son, Mom knows Yang Lin is a scoundrel, but there's nothing Mom can do. You're too young to support the family, so I had to let Yang Lin be the face of the business. Now that you can support it, we'll kick him out."
Going too far won't be good for you.
Lu Rong was worried that Lu Yunqi's resentment towards Yang Lin would affect him.
