Chapter 526: Dilemma
"Just this once."
Lu Yilei made up his mind and said, "I don't care what she did, but please let her go this time."
After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Lu Yichen, "Third brother, I beg you. Please let Xiaorou go! I promise that she will never appear in front of you again."
Even though he now knew that Meng Rou was not as simple as he thought, he still couldn't give up on her. After all, she was the only girl he had truly fallen in love with in all these years.
"You idiot." Old Master Lu was so angry that his chest hurt. "You already know what kind of person Meng Rou is, yet you're still here defending her. Do you really have no brains at all?"
Seeing that Mr. Lu looked uncomfortable, the others quickly surrounded him.
Lu Yile took a step forward, but seeing Meng Rou still being held by two people and in a very embarrassed state, he finally retreated.
"Fourth Brother, you're such a rebellious son! You're trying to piss off your father to death, aren't you?" Mrs. Lu was also furious. "Just for such a fickle woman, you've even ignored your own parents, haven't you?"
Lu Yile stood there, his face full of embarrassment. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
After taking the medicine, Mr. Lu regained consciousness. He looked at Lu Yilei with a sharp gaze and spoke with a powerful voice, "Lu Yilei, if you really insist on defending a woman like Meng Rou, then you will no longer be my son. I have many sons, and I won't feel sorry even if you are gone."
"Dad!" Lu Yile exclaimed.
Because he could see that, unlike the threats he had made several times before, Mr. Lu was serious today. If he really insisted on defending Zhong Nianyao, then Mr. Lu would really no longer recognize him as his son.
For a moment, he was caught in a dilemma. On one side was family and the future, and on the other was love. He really didn't know how to choose.
"Grandpa, please don't be angry." Madam Lu, standing by, quickly spoke to comfort him. "The fourth son didn't mean to anger you. He must have realized his mistake by now. Don't be too anxious. He's still young and it's inevitable that he will act impulsively. But he certainly won't abandon us, his parents, and this family for a woman."
After she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at Lu Yilei, and hurriedly urged, "Fourth Brother, why don't you come over and apologize to your father, and then promise not to interfere in Meng Rou's affairs and never meet Meng Rou again."
Lu Yilei stood there, his face full of struggle and pain. Faced with Mr. Lu's seriousness and Mrs. Lu's urging, his mood became even more chaotic.
At this moment, Zhong Nianyao suddenly spoke up, "Lu Yilei, do you really love Meng Rou that much? Then let me ask you a question, why did you fall in love with Meng Rou?"
This sudden question stunned everyone present.
No one expected that in such a serious situation, Zhong Nian Yao would suddenly ask such an irrelevant question.
Mrs. Lu was a little angry. She looked at Zhong Nianyao with a cold expression, "Nianyao, could you please not bring up such unimportant matters at this time?"
She was very dissatisfied with Zhong Nianyao's sudden question.
Now is the time for Lu Yilei to make a choice. Isn't Zhong Nianyao's words trying to shake Lu Yilei? If Lu Yilei recalls his past love with Meng Rou, who knows if Lu Yilei will impulsively choose Meng Rou?
This Zhong Nian Yao is really a jinx who is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything, and is as annoying as Lu Yichen.
"Why is Madam Lu so angry? I'm asking this to Lu Yilei, not you."
Facing Madam Lu's anger, Zhong Nianyao's expression remained unchanged. Her gaze was still fixed on Lu Yilei. "Is this question difficult to answer?"
"No, I love Xiaorou," Lu Yilei answered subconsciously, "and I..."
When he wanted to explain why he loved Meng Rou, his mind suddenly froze. He clearly loved Meng Rou and thought everything about her was beautiful.
But why is this happening? Now, he can't even remember why he fell in love with Meng Rou. He only knows that he loves Meng Rou subconsciously, but why is this? What on earth did he fall in love with Meng Rou for?
No matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't remember why he fell in love with Meng Rou. It was as if... it was as if he had fallen in love with Meng Rou all of a sudden.
At this time, Meng Rou's face was ashen and she had given up struggling. An air of despair enveloped her.
She felt that her day was probably really over.
Lu Yile's performance also made everyone present realize that something was wrong.
Especially Mr. Lu, his sharp eyes fell on Lu Yile, then looked at Meng Rou, with a hint of thought in his eyes.
"You can't explain it, right?" Zhong Nianyao blinked and said with a smile, "Look, even you can't explain why you fell in love with her. Do you still think you really love her?"
Just as Lu Yilei was about to answer, Zhong Nianyao spoke again, "Although it's said that there's no reason to fall in love with someone, there must be a reason for that momentary heartbeat! Even you can't explain the reason clearly, how dare you say you love Meng Rou?"
Lu Yilei opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something. But as soon as he opened his mouth, he found that he had no idea what to say.
He felt completely torn. His emotions told him that he loved Meng Rou, but his mind told him that his love for Meng Rou was strange.
"Nian Yao."
Mr. Lu looked at Zhong Nianyao, his eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze wise and sharp, "Did Meng Rou do something?"
Not only Mr. Lu, but everyone else had noticed it as well. However, they hadn't thought about it yet.
Zhong Nianyao nodded, then looked at Lu Yilei again. She raised her right hand, counted on her fingers, and couldn't help but sigh, "Lu Yilei, you do have someone you love very much, but that person is not Meng Rou. The reason you feel that you love Meng Rou so much now is because Meng Rou used evil magic, and all your love for that girl has been transferred to you."
It is also for this reason that Lu Yile’s behavior sometimes makes it difficult for outsiders to understand.
