Chapter 18 - 18 Will He Suspect?
Upon seeing that he didn’t dodge this time and his forehead was bleeding, the Old Madam immediately regretted hitting him too hard.
“Your elder brother just passed away. Is this how you repay him? Aren’t you afraid of public criticism? Have you lost your mind? Tell Lan Yuyi to abort the child immediately. You can’t have this child!”
“The doctor said her health is not good. If this child is aborted, Yuyi will never be able to conceive again. This child has to be born.”
“Nonsense. She is so young, how can she not conceive again? Do you think I’m so out of touch to not know what modern medicine is capable of? Even if modern medicine fails, Qiao Yin’s grandmother can help. She’s a miraculous doctor, she even saved me when I was on the verge of death. It would be a piece of cake for her to help Lan Yuyi become healthy again!”
“No one can predict whether her health can recover or not. I won’t let her take such a risk and deprive her of the right to be a mother. The child must be born, there’s no need for you to comment further.”
“What about Qiao Yin? Is she supposed to pay for you two’s mistake? She has only been married for three months, and she has to get divorced now? Have you thought about her feelings?”
Lu Lingche fell silent for a long time before speaking, “I will compensate her.”
“No compensation can ever replace you! If you dare divorce Qiao Yin, you won’t be my grandson anymore!”
“Have you ever thought that maybe Qiao Yin doesn’t want me that much? She’s just putting up a show in the Lu Family for the sake of money.”
This almost made the Old Madam faint in anger, “Just because you don’t care about her, doesn’t mean she feels the same way about you! Qiao Yin is not the kind of person who would covet money!”
“She is. She tricked you. Next time, don’t give her such valuable bracelets. Be careful, she might sell it to pay off the Qiao Family’s debts.”
“Whatever she does with the things I gave her is none of my business! I believe it is not the case that Qiao Yin tricked me, but rather Lan Yuyi tricked you! Your elder brother just passed away and she has climbed into your bed already. Do you think she is a good person? Be careful not to be sold by her!”
“No one who can sell me has been born yet!”
Lu Lingche’s cold voice echoed in the living room.
His mobile phone rang again. He glanced at it and said, “Yuyi needs someone to watch over her in the hospital, I’ll go.”
After saying this, he left directly.
When he returned to the hospital and entered the ward, Madam Lu was already there, conversing happily with Lan Yuyi, who didn’t appear to have any serious issues.
Lu Lingche frowned slightly, “Mom, why are you here?”
“I came to see Yuyi. I heard that she nearly had a miscarriage because of Qiao Yin. That Qiao Yin is really malicious. You need to get a divorce from her quickly so she can’t harm your child!”
“I understand.”
“Why is your forehead bleeding? Who hit you? Qiao Yin? Is she a shrew? Why did she hit you so hard?”
“Not her, I accidentally bumped into something.”
“Even now you defend her? She hit you, and you’re covering for her?”
“It really wasn’t her.”
Madam Lu was both heartbroken and angered, “Quickly find a doctor to check it and bandage it, don’t leave a scar.”
Lu Lingche nodded and left the ward to find a doctor.
In the ward, only Madam Lu and Lan Yuyi remained.
She looked at Lan Yuyi’s protruding belly and said quietly, “Five months along, it’s starting to show, try to wear looser clothes.”
Lan Yuyi was a bit uneasy, “Aunt Yao, my belly is a bit big. Will he suspect anything?”
Madam Lu smiled, “No, what does a man know about pregnancy? He can’t even remember whether he slept with you or not.”
“That’s good…I…I’ve been very nervous these days.”
Madam Lu gently touched Lan Yuyi’s belly with an incomparable sense of preciousness, tears in her eyes, “This is the only bloodline my son has left in this world. You must protect it. Once the child is born, everything in the Lu family will be his and yours, do you understand?”
“I understand, Aunt Yao. But would this child really be the only child in the Lu Family in the future? Lingche has always kept his distance from me, he is at his prime, there will be other women in the future. I am afraid…”
Madam Lu’s expression turned cold, “What are you afraid of? As long as I am here, there will only be you in his life. No other woman can bear his child. Even if they did, I can make it disappear! Your current task is to protect this child, you don’t have to worry about anything else!”
This scared Lan Yuyi and she quickly replied, “Yes, as long as you’re here, I’m not afraid.”
Seeing that Lan Yuyi was scared, Madam Lu’s tone softened again, “As for the medical incident at the Lan’s Hospital, I’ve already found someone to contact the family of the deceased for compensation. The journalists who reported the incident have also been dealt with. The news of the deceased won’t leak out, Lan’s Hospital will still be the best private hospital, and the Lu family will take care of the Lan Clan’s other industries. They will thrive.”
“Thank you, Aunt Yao. I will listen to you for everything in the future..”
