Chapter 114 The Lu Family Members Are All Sick
The next morning, Xia Zhen happily ate the breakfast that Wen Yu had prepared.
Wen Yu isn't incapable of cooking; she just often doesn't have the time. For example, she got off work too late yesterday, so she could only bring food from the hotel for Xia Zhen.
If Xia Zhen hadn't been there today, Wen Yu would often have been too lazy to eat breakfast.
However, Wen Yu wasn't as helpless against Xia Zhen as Xia Yu was. Xia Zhen insisted on having sweet porridge, and not just any kind of sweet porridge. But Wen Yu simply hid the sugar, and Xia Zhen couldn't find it no matter how hard she looked. So today, she could only drink porridge with only half the sugar.
But this didn't stop Xia Zhen from being happy, because she had seen Lu Jin last night.
When she finished eating, Wen Yu suddenly spoke up, "The person you like is that scoundrel Lu Qi's son."
"Cough cough!" Xia Zhen choked on her own saliva. She looked shocked and wondered if her mother had some kind of script.
Wen Yu said calmly, "Do you know what kind of people the Lu family are? How dare you try to associate with them?"
Xia Zhen replied, "Isn't it just a pair of eyes, a nose, and a mouth?"
Looking at Xia Zhen's "innocent" face, Wen Yu curled her lips and said, "Most of the Lu family members have some kind of problem. They are controlling and will snatch anything or anyone they want, regardless of whether it belongs to someone or not."
Wen Yu said, "I don't know your boyfriend, but I do know that Lu Yuan from the Lu family is sick, and Lu Qi is even more sick."
"Mom, what happened to Uncle Lu Qi? Tell me about it."
Wen Yu didn't hide anything from Xia Zhen and said directly, "Lu Qi's wife is named Lin Ruo. I've seen her a few times at several piano performances. Unfortunately, Lu Qi has fallen for her."
"Why is it bad luck? I think Uncle Lu Qi is very classy."
“Madmen usually like to present themselves as harmless,” Wen Yu said. “When Lu Qi was pursuing Lin Ruo, Lin Ruo already had a boyfriend.”
Xia Zhen's eyes widened. "Wow."
"But later he successfully got Lin Ruo to break up with her boyfriend."
"Did he orchestrate the man's infidelity? Or did he bribe him?"
“Neither.” Wen Yu sighed. “Lin Ruo’s boyfriend is indeed a good man. Neither money nor beauty has swayed him in the slightest. But everyone has weaknesses. Lu Qi used his family to threaten him.”
Xia Zhen was speechless.
Wen Yu took a sip of water and continued, "Lu Qi later married Lin Ruo. Several years later, news came out that Lin Ruo was pregnant. I couldn't help but suspect that getting Lin Ruo pregnant was also Lu Qi's scheme. But Lu Qi is a pervert. When he discovered that Lin Ruo had gone from rejecting to accepting the child in her belly and was slowly pouring more and more emotion into it, he suddenly became jealous."
Xia Zhen stared in disbelief. "He wouldn't want that child to be born again, would he?"
Wen Yu smiled slightly, "So don't think that just because Lu Qi looks like a normal person, he's a good person. If he were the only one in the Lu family who was crazy, that would be one thing, but everyone in the Lu family is a little abnormal. Zhenzhen, do you think your boyfriend is normal?"
Xia Zhen calmly said, "I think he's a good person."
"Since you've made your decision, I have nothing more to say. If you're imprisoned, your father will rush to the Lu family to rescue you."
Xia Zhen blinked. "Will only my dad come to save me?"
"Of course, I'm very busy and can't find the time."
Xia Zhen felt that the sentence sounded very familiar.
It seems that when she was nine years old, she fell ill and was hospitalized. She called Wen Yu, hoping that she would come to see her, but Wen Yu also said that she was very busy.
However, in the middle of the night, she vaguely saw a woman sitting in front of her hospital bed and gently pulling her into her arms.
She thought it was a dream, but when she woke up the next day, there was a picture of a dessert shop on her bedside table.
Her mother gave her a dessert shop.
When Lu Qi and Lin Ruo are mentioned, it's as if they're living out a script where he chases her and she runs away, but they can't escape their fate.
But what about Xia Yu and Wen Yu?
Xia Zhen finally couldn't help but ask, "Mom, why did you divorce Dad?"
Wen Yu thought Xia Zhen could keep quiet and not ask, but since the child was so old, she asked, so Wen Yu answered truthfully: "He can't speak human language."
"……What's the meaning?"
"Our marriage was indeed arranged. He didn't like me, and I didn't like him. But as a daughter of the Wen family, I had to make the most of my value. The Wen family promised that once I married into the Xia family, they would not restrict my freedom."
Wen Yu added, "Although it was an arranged marriage, since we got married, my initial goal was to cultivate a good relationship with him after marriage. However, after being classmates with him for so many years, I should know that the man is really extraordinary."
When Wen Yu said the word "extraordinary," there was a hint of gritted teeth in his voice.
For example, if she puts on makeup and wears a new dress and flaunts it in front of him, but he still only looks at his documents, she will take the initiative to ask, "Does this dress look good on me?"
Xia Yu then looked up and said, "Yeah, you've gained a little weight recently, but you still look good in clothes."
Wen Yu was furious when she was told she had gained weight that day.
For example, after she gave birth, she expressed her desire to go back to work.
Xia Yu said, "I can pay you a salary every day, so you don't have to go out and show your face in public."
At that time, Wen Yu had no intention of entering the entertainment industry. She was studying law and wanted to work at a law firm, but because of his words, no firm dared to hire her.
Moreover, relatives and friends she rarely contacted kept coming to persuade her to stay at home. They said she was already married and had a daughter, so why was she thinking about going out to work? It's not like Xia Yu wouldn't give her money to spend.
At that time, Wen Yu replied, "If others can give me money, they can easily take it back as well."
Someone laughed it off, "How could that be! You two don't fight or anything. Besides, Xia Yu is busy with work. Even if you do have a conflict and argue, you should try to understand each other and give in a little."
She knew that she couldn't connect with these people at all.
Wen Yu smiled, "So later I started to make a point of showing my face in public."
Xia Zhen had no doubt that those outrageous actions were done by her straight-laced father, and she even wanted to try to save face for him. "Does my dad really have no redeeming qualities at all? Like... sending flowers or something?"
"Yes, when I was pregnant with you, one day I came back from a prenatal checkup and found the room covered with roses."
Xia Zhen covered her face, "How romantic!"
"But I'm allergic to roses."
Xia Zhen: "..."
She really couldn't help!
