Lu Qingquan was taken aback and sat up abruptly in bed, asking suspiciously, "Lu Mo's leg is healed? Mom, did you see it with your own eyes?"
Yue Hongxia nodded. "Alright, just like before. They said I'll be able to go back to the army soon. Sigh!"
Lu Qingquan gritted his teeth. This news was like a bolt from the blue, leaving him completely bewildered.
How could Lu Mo possibly stand up?
Wasn't his leg already declared a death sentence?
He hoped Yue Hongxia was mistaken, but he also knew that Yue Hongxia couldn't be wrong; Lu Mo had really stood up and would be able to return to the army soon.
But he could never go back!
His teeth were grinding together, Lu Qingquan's eyes were bloodshot, and his face was contorted. Yue Hongxia felt a chill run down her spine; her son looked so unfamiliar.
"Qingquan... don't worry, your dad has already asked someone to find you a job. The military isn't a great place anyway. If you work hard at your job, you'll still be more successful than Lu Mo, okay!"
Yue Hongxia gently comforted herself, trying to convince herself that her son would definitely succeed and make something of himself.
Lu Qingquan gradually calmed down and forced a smile. "I'm sorry, Mom, I've disappointed you."
"Let's work hard from now on and make those who laughed at us look at us with new eyes. Mom believes in you!" Yue Hongxia encouraged.
Lu Qingquan nodded, pulling himself together. He couldn't afford to be so down anymore; he had to pull himself together. His mother was right; he had to achieve something and give all those who mocked him a resounding slap in the face!
He will never let that little bitch Ye Qingqing get away with it!
Yue Hongxia sighed. She thought of the five thousand yuan. She had originally hoped that her son would rise through the ranks in the army. Even if it was just to shut up the old woman from the Ye family, as long as her son was successful, the five thousand yuan would be worth it!
But now—
Five thousand dollars gone, all for nothing!
She felt so sorry for him!
"Qingquan, what do you think? Should we go to the Ye family and break off the engagement? And get the five thousand yuan back?" Yue Hongxia asked.
She used to be afraid that the old woman would gossip and affect her son's career in the army. Now that her son has left the army, the rumors are still circulating in the compound. No matter what that old woman says, she is determined to get that five thousand yuan back!
And Ye Lan, who's practically half-dead, wouldn't even take a wife if you paid her. We absolutely cannot let our son marry a daughter-in-law like that!
"Qingquan, Mom will find you a girl from a good family in the future. Ye Lan is a half-dead woman who might not live to see tomorrow. You can play around with her, but you definitely can't marry her. Now that things have come to this, the engagement must be called off!"
Yue Hongxia's tone became more resolute. Since they had already given up, what tricks could that old hag possibly pull?
Lu Qingquan pondered for a long time. He still had feelings for Ye Lan, but because of the five thousand yuan, he was somewhat dissatisfied with Ye Lan. However, even now, in Lu Qingquan's heart, Ye Lan was still the embodiment of truth, goodness and beauty, and still the beautiful white lotus in his heart.
But Yue Hongxia's words also make sense. Marrying Ye Lan would not help his career at all. In addition, now that he has left the army, he needs to make achievements and needs more help.
Lu Qingquan had given up on the old man; he had to look elsewhere.
Ye Lan is understanding and kind-hearted; she will surely understand his predicament!
"Okay, I'll talk to Ye Lan first, and then we'll pick a time to go to the Ye family to break off the engagement!"
Lu Qingquan agreed, but he didn't want to find other women. He still wanted to marry Ye Qingqing. If he couldn't do it openly, he would do it secretly. This little bitch had so much wealth. As long as he got his hands on her, how could he not make his business bigger?
Once his business is successful, he'll divorce that little slut and marry Lan'er!
