Chapter 159 - 159: President Lu’s Strategy
Just as he finished speaking, a anxious voice was heard from outside: “Yuyi, how are you doing? I’m here to be with you, don’t be scared!”
Lan Yuyi was stunned, she saw the visitor step into the living room and couldn’t help but speak: “Aunt Yao?”
Madam Lu hurriedly walked towards her, dragging her along as she scrutinized her face and stomach in a panic: “What… what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?”
Lan Yuyi forced a smile: “Aunt Yao, I’m okay. Why are you here so late?”
What she wanted was to have some alone time with Lu Lingche to strengthen their bond.
How could they possibly strengthen their bond now?
Madam Lu looked worried: “Why have you been crying so much, your eyes are all swollen. Lingche called me to say that something had happened to you, so I rushed over.”
Lan Yuyi turned her gaze towards Lu Lingche, her voice somewhat resentful: “Lingche, why did you call Aunt Yao over? You could’ve stayed with me, you should have let Aunt Yao get more rest!”
Lu Lingche looked at her indifferently: “Why didn’t you let me get more rest? From yesterday till now, I’ve only slept two hours, yet you’ve called me more than a dozen times. Your incessant badgering is as if you are rushing me to my death, do you really not regard me as a human being!”
“No, no, I didn’t know that you’ve only slept for such a short time, I was just too scared, so I subconsciously relied on you. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Lingche, don’t be angry!”
Lan Yuyi was flustered and ashamed: “Aunt Yao, I really didn’t mean it, it’s because I consider Lingche as one of my own, that I called him.”
Madam Lu glared unpleasantly at her son: “Yuyi considers you as her own, that’s why she called you. Since she’s alright, why did you call me here in the middle of the night? You almost scared me to death, I thought something happened to her!”
Lu Lingche took out his mobile phone, unlocked it, clicked on the call log and showed it to his mother: “Mom, have a look for yourself. It’s two in the morning and she has called me more than ten times consecutively, how could I not panic? I was at my wit’s end, scared that something happened to her, so I had to call you.”
Uncharacteristically, he didn’t speak with his usual cold tone, but instead sound more vulnerable.
He was admitting that he was in a panic? At his wits’ end?
Was the sun going to rise from the west tomorrow?
The way he spoke now strongly resembled his older brother, Lu Shengqing!
Madam Lu even felt that in that moment, her beloved eldest son had somehow returned.
Looking at the call log, a wave of sadness flooded her. If Lan Yuyi could have her way with her second son like this, was it possible her eldest had also endured the same?
Awoken in the middle of the night by her calls, constantly being pestered until he rushed over to keep her company.
Both of her sons from the Lu Family were being toyed with at her whim?
Lu Lingche saw his mother’s expression changing and revealed a cold smile to Lan Yuyi.
Lazy enough to call him at night, asking him to accompany her, did she really think that he, like his older brother, was short-tempered and would be her servant?
He was taking care of her because of his older brother’s sake, tolerating time and time again, little did he expect she wouldn’t stop overstepping her boundaries!
If he continued being so tolerant, she would probably start to behave even more unreasonably.
Lan Yuyi noticed the shift in Lu Lingche’s attitude. He wasn’t straightforward anymore but had changed his strategy!
He had more schemes than his brother!
She was afraid that Madam Lu would be angry, and hurried to defend herself: “Aunt Yao, it’s just that I’ve become somewhat clingy after becoming pregnant. I wasn’t like this before, I don’t know what happened to me. It might be due to hormonal changes during pregnancy, I can’t control myself. Please don’t be offended, this won’t happen again!”
Madam Lu’s expression fluctuated for a while.
She really wanted to confront Lan Yuyi, asking if she had ever treated her eldest son like this before.
Lan Yuyi has always had a good-understanding persona, she never thought that she would summon someone in the middle of the night to come over in the pouring rain to keep her company..
