My Billionaire Exhusband Grovels Me After Divorce
Chapter 1149 - 1149 1149 I Found My Birth Mother

Chapter 1149: Chapter 1149: I Found My Birth Mother Chapter 1149: Chapter 1149: I Found My Birth Mother Suddenly having one less competitor, Lu Lingche felt at ease, but he was worried that Qiao Yin might suffer hardships: “Have they bullied you in the Gu Family? Has Gu Jing caused you trouble? Has Hou Jinhua tried to hurt you again?”

“No.”

Qiao Yin’s voice was calm: “Old Sir Gu protects me; no one bullies me, and moreover, I’m not someone who can be bullied anymore.”

In the past, she had belittled herself in the Lu Family, always swallowing her grievances, even if Madam Lu berated her, she never dared to talk back to her mother-in-law.

That was because she loved Lu Lingche too much at that time, and where there was love, there were weaknesses, and with weaknesses came endless compromises and concessions.

But in the Gu Family, she loved no one, so she had no weaknesses, and she was without any reservations.

Even though Qiao Yin said no one bullied her, Lu Lingche knew that her life at the Gu Family couldn’t have been too peaceful. Being the illegitimate daughter of Gu Chengqiao, how could Hou Jinhua’s legitimate children ever truly treat Qiao Yin well?

His firm heart softened, and he gently touched her delicate cheek, saying softly, “I’m a bastard son, and you’re a bastard daughter, aren’t we a good match?”

Qiao Yin was stunned by his optimism: “Why does it sound like you’re actually happy about it? Such a match, I’d rather pass! I don’t want to be some bastard daughter, my mom was tricked by Gu Chengqiao and Hou Jinhua.”

Lu Lingche couldn’t help but think of Fang Liuye; he still didn’t know her real name or what exactly happened between her and Lu Mingzhen back then.

He spoke in a low voice: “I found my birth mother, she’s still alive.”

Qiao Yin was shocked. What was wrong with him, telling her such important things now?

He used to keep everything to himself without telling her what he was busy with.

He shared such a private matter, leaving her, for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

After a while, she asked, “Did she tell you why she left you with Madam Lu to raise? A stepmother will never compare to a birth mother, right?”

“I didn’t ask, but I can guess some of the reasons why she let me grow up in the Lu Family. It’s nothing more than hoping that the outside world wouldn’t find out about my status as a bastard son, wanting me to grow up with the proper identity of a young master of the Lu Family, to make it better for me to inherit the family business in the future.”

“So that’s why.”

Qiao Yin was somewhat surprised that was the reason she gave up raising her son by herself, but it felt extremely logical.

She hadn’t grown up in the Gu Family either. Now that she was back, not only could she not fit in, but her identity was also unclear when she left the house. To those slightly familiar with the Gu Family, no matter how much they concealed her identity, people could guess that she was an illegitimate daughter.

Moreover, if she didn’t have medical skills capable of treating Gu Guotai’s leg, whether she could return to the Gu Family would still be an unknown.

Lu Lingche continued: “Actually, I’ve been thinking whether or not to hand my birth mother over to my elder brother.”

Qiao Yin was utterly bewildered: “Why would you hand her over to your elder brother?”

“Because my elder brother’s car crash and fall from the cliff was orchestrated by my birth mother.”

Qiao Yin was so startled that she suddenly looked up: “How could that be? Why would she do that?”

“Because she believed that only with my elder brother’s death, could everything from the Lu Family be mine. So she planned to kill my brother, and she erased all evidence. It took me quite a lot of trouble to trace it back to her. I just didn’t expect that, after all the investigation, I would find out that it was my birth mother who killed my elder brother.”

Qiao Yin felt sympathy for him. On one hand was his mother, and on the other his elder brother—both turned out to be mortal enemies. Could there be anything more melodramatic than this?

“So you want to hand her over to your elder brother, to let him deal with her?”

“Yeah.”

Qiao Yin was not surprised; setting aside the fact that he had no emotional attachment to his birth mother, even if he did, it probably couldn’t compare to his relationship with his elder brother, so he was surely leaning towards Lu Shengqing’s side.

“My elder brother had been threatened by her before, but he never told me. He took it all upon himself, and even on the brink of death, he didn’t reveal who hurt him. Even now, he insists that the car accident was just an accident and has prevented me and my dad from digging deeper, probably because he’s afraid I wouldn’t be able to accept it!”
