Chapter 406: Chapter 405 Where Do You Place Me?

Luo Xinyan saw Lu Pengcheng’s reaction and a touch of irony swept across the corner of her mouth, "What? Don’t like hearing what I have to say? Does it make you uncomfortable?"

Lu Pengcheng! The fact that I didn’t say to your face that she got what she deserved, already shows I have some manners!

Had it not been for the things she did back then, I..."

Luo Xinyan stopped mid-sentence, facing her daughter’s curious gaze, she didn’t want to say any more, "Enough of that! Cut the chit-chat and go back to the hospital!"

Lu Pengcheng hurriedly explained, "Xinyan! I’m not uncomfortable! Whatever you say, I think you have every right! I was just thinking about how to tell you!

She came here yesterday to break up my son and his girlfriend, and unexpectedly she ended up being sent to the hospital by his girlfriend..." He briefly described the events.

After hearing this, Luo Xinyan couldn’t help but laugh, feeling particularly vindicated by the irony. She had seen firsthand the woman’s actions and schemes.

Years later, she wouldn’t have thought that woman would try the same tactics to control her grandson’s love life.

Only to meet her match, an even stronger player.

Wiping the corner of her eye, she sneered with laughter, "Turns out there’s always someone better! That young girl is really impressive!"

At that moment, Lu Pengcheng didn’t know what to say. He certainly couldn’t agree with her praising Lin Xia for a job well done!

Luo Yue felt that there must be many reasons for her mother’s hostility towards that old lady.

"Mom! What exactly happened? You all..." She really wanted to know.

"Yueyue! Some things can’t be explained in a word or two right now! Go with this uncle back to the hospital for now!

After you’re off work, I’ll tell you everything!"

Luo Xinyan had yet to figure out how to tell her daughter that Lu Pengcheng was her biological father.

She also needed to think carefully about what to do next.

"Alright then!" Luo Yue knew the situation was urgent and couldn’t afford much delay.

Lu Pengcheng had too much he wanted to confide in her, but now clearly wasn’t the time.

Even though he wanted to stay longer, it was impossible; even if his mother had done many wrong things, she was still his mother.

He instructed anxiously, "Xinyan! Stay at home and don’t go anywhere! I’ll come find you after I’ve dealt with the hospital!"

He feared she might disappear.

But looking at Luo Yue beside him, he felt slightly reassured that Luo Yue worked here, owned a house here, and leaving immediately wouldn’t be so easy.

Luo Xinyan understood what Lu Pengcheng was thinking – even for the sake of her daughter, she wouldn’t hide anymore.

Besides, what did she have to hide from?

She urged them on, "You better go quickly!"

Lu Pengcheng followed Luo Yue out of the house reluctantly. He took one last look at the closed door and felt a mix of emotions.

Luo Yue really wanted to ask this uncle what was going on.

But she was somehow afraid, afraid of hearing something from him that she couldn’t accept.

Especially since that well-preserved and gentle lady had claimed to be his wife.

Then, what was the relationship between him and her mother...

Lu Pengcheng noticed Luo Yue walking silently, occasionally casting glances at him, and he understood the child was eager to know what was happening.

But right now, he didn’t know how to start telling her.

If he directly said that he was her father, what would her reaction be? Could she accept it?

This kind of thing would truly be hard for anyone to accept in a moment’s notice.

In the hospital ward, Shao Meirou and Lu Qing nervously watched over the pale and unconscious Fang Youlan lying on the hospital bed.

"Great aunt! It’s all my fault! If I hadn’t mentioned running into uncle, grandma might not have..."

Lu Qing blamed herself incessantly, belatedly realizing that her grandmother must have been triggered by hearing her mention seeing her uncle with Nurse Luo, going to visit a friend, and that’s why she had the episode.

It was just a brief encounter and a few spoken words before they passed by each other.

She was so engrossed in her own little thoughts that she really hadn’t considered much else.

But now on reflection, her uncle had never shown such joy and excitement in all these years, and the Nurse Luo walking beside him even shared a resemblance with him; thus, an answer seemed ready to leap forth in her heart.

If she could guess at the truth, then her grandmother and great aunt must have guessed it too.

"Lu Qing! Don’t overthink it! Your grandmother’s illness has nothing to do with you..."

Shao Meirou’s emotions had since steadied, as she had just gone to find Nurse Luo and learned that Lu Pengcheng was at her home.

Therefore, once Lu Pengcheng returned, everything would have an answer.

Lu Qing knew her great aunt was trying to console her, but facing her great aunt’s undeniable anxious and gloomy expression, she didn’t want to distress her further.

The two fell into silence again.

After Lu Pengcheng returned and learned that Fang Youlan had been medicated, his heart eased somewhat.

Shao Meirou had many questions she wanted to ask him, but with Lu Qing and the old lady in the ward, it wasn’t the right place to speak.

"Lao Lu! Let’s step outside and talk for a moment!"

"Okay!" Ever since Lu Pengcheng had entered the ward, he had also been considering how to broach the subject with Shao Meirou.

Both carrying their own thoughts, they went to the stairwell.

"Lao Lu! What were you doing at Nurse Luo’s house? I really didn’t know your family had relatives here?" Shao Meirou asked softly.

She actually had some of the answers in her heart already, but call it turning a deaf ear or self-hypnosis, she was unwilling to believe, and didn’t want to believe!

In her eyes, Lu Pengcheng had always been nothing but an attractive shell of a man, an empty puppet without a soul.

Yet unknown to her, he had a woman and child outside! How could she accept that!

"Not relatives! She is the person I’ve always been searching for, the one I love! You should know a bit about what happened back then; she is the woman who drifted far away because my family opposed us!"

Lu Pengcheng decided to be frank; there was no real affection between him and Shao Meirou.

When they married, it was because his mother coerced him with threats of death. He knew Shao Meirou was good, but his heart had always belonged to Luo Xinyan, leaving no room for anyone else.

He had wronged her! Yet he had no choice but to disappoint!

Shao Meirou burst into tears on the spot. He might not love her! But that didn’t mean he could hurt her like this!

"Lu Pengcheng! Do you realize what you’re saying? I’m your wife! Yet you tell me to my face that you’ve found the person you love!

Where do you put me? Where do you put Xiaozheng?"

How could she not know about that woman, she was all too aware.

But she never imagined, now that they were past middle age, this woman would reappear once again!

At this moment, she was filled with an immense regret for encouraging the old lady to come to Spring City to break up Lin Xia and Xiaozheng!

If the old lady hadn’t come, perhaps there would never have been another day where they met again till their deaths!
