BXBX NOVEL Chapter 92 - 92: Depression
A earsplitting crash rang out, shattering glass exploding into fragments, which made Lu Lingche halt his steps.
He looked encapassionately at Madam Lu: “What are you doing?”
“What day is it today?!”
“The 27th.”
Madam Lu spat out with fury, “You still remember today is the 27th? Didn’t I ask you to get the marriage certificate with Yuyi on the 25th? Did you just ignore me? Do I, your biological mother, even matter to you?”
“I haven’t divorced Qiao Yin yet. How can I get a marriage certificate with Yuyi?”
“Then hurry up and get a divorce!”
Madam Lu’s sharp voice echoed ominously and urgently in the empty living room. “How can you be incapable of managing even such a trivial matter?! What can you even do right?!”
“Yuyi’s parents have been calling me the whole day, their every word pricked with dissatisfaction towards the Lu Family! I’ve never been accused like this throughout my life in the Lu Family! But I can’t fight back, because indeed you have failed Yuyi!”
“The doctor said Yuyi suffers from severe depression. Get married to her quickly, to stabilize her emotions! If her condition worsens, she will still contemplate suicide! Are you really willing to just watch her and your child die?”
After letting her vent, Lu Lingche spoke flatly: “Tell the Lan Family, I will marry Yuyi.”
Madam Lu paused, asking with doubt: “You’re willing to marry her again?”
“Like you said, I can’t just stand by and watch her commit suicide.”
“What about your issue with Qiao Yin?”
“Don’t worry about that, I’ll handle it.”
“Don’t worry about it? If you could handle it, would things have gotten to this point?!”
Madam Lu’s face was dark with anger, “On the fifth of June, you must get the marriage certificate with Yuyi!”
“Alright, I got it.”
“You won’t back out this time?”
“Backing out would lead to Yuyi attempting suicide again. I don’t want her to die, not even an injury to her can be tolerated.”
Madam Lu’s anger finally subsided: “I knew it, you still favour Yuyi the most, unwilling to let her suffer any grievances. It’s settled then, the marriage.”
“Hmm.”
Seeing him agree, Madam Lu finally left.
She did not go back to the Lu home, but headed to the hospital to soothe Lan Yuyi.
Upon seeing her, Wen Bilan began to cry: “Look at what they’ve done to my girl, my Yi. Show some mercy, save her please!”
Lan Yuyi had turned as pale as snow, she quickly intervened: “Mom, I’m okay, stop crying! Aunt Yao, don’t take it to heart. My mom, she’s just too distraught over me, her only daughter.”
Madam Lu sighed: “I understand, it isn’t your mom’s fault. If anybody’s to blame, it’s that little harlot Qiao Yin who turned you into this.”
Seeing Madam Lu making no mention of Lu Lingche’s responsibility, Wen Bilan wanted to say something, but Lan Yuyi held her hand, signaling her to keep quiet.
She swiftly changed her tone: “Yes, it’s all that lowly girl Qiao Yin’s fault! She purposely provoked Yi and shamelessly took her necklace! What kind of family is the Qiao Family to produce such a daughter? Lingche shouldn’t have married someone from such a small family.”
“Ah, if only I had a say on this marriage. But it was the Old Madam who made the decision, she controls everything in our family; not even my son’s marriage is within my jurisdiction. I didn’t dare to air such grievances in public before for fear of losing face. But who knows about the kind of life I have been leading?”
As Madam Lu spoke, she let out her tears.
Wen Bilan and Lan Yuyi had heard about Madam Lu being hit by her mother-in-law. Despite being over fifty, she was still beaten by an old woman. Although there were people outside who sympathized with her, there were also many who laughed at her in private.
But they held their tongues, anxious not to cause Madam Lu to lose anymore face.
The two consoled her for a while before Madam Lu finally stopped crying..
