Chapter 409: Chapter 408: He is your biological father!
When Fang Youlan found out that Shao Meirou and her companion hadn’t left, but were eavesdropping at the door, she was both angry and uncomfortable.
She tried hard to recall if she had said anything too damaging about her own family just now.
Then, after giving it some thought, she realized even if she had, it didn’t matter anymore, at this point, overthinking was useless!
Fang Youlan saw Lin Xia standing outside the open door of the hospital room, and she couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger!
All these issues originated because of Lin Xia, if she hadn’t been there, if she hadn’t brought Lu Qing over, they wouldn’t have so easily encountered that woman.
But now wasn’t the time for her to act on her emotions, she was helpless here, and even if she wanted to do something, she couldn’t.
She could only rush back to the provincial city as soon as possible, and take the eldest with her, otherwise...
Fang Youlan’s gaze was cold and calculating; as for dealing with that mother and daughter, she would have to plan carefully.
She said in a weak voice, "Pengcheng! Come in and have some food!"
Lu Pengcheng looked at Lin Xia, not sure if the elderly lady would make things difficult for the young girl.
Lin Xia, observant and smiling, waved her hand, "Uncle! You and Aunt go ahead and eat. I’m going to leave now!"
Though she was puzzled, not knowing what exactly they were facing, but the old lady seemed to dislike her, and she wasn’t foolish enough to willingly draw close.
Lu Pengcheng politely expressed his gratitude, "Okay then! Thank you, Lin Xia!"
"It’s nothing! I’ll bring dinner over in the evening!"
Lin Xia smiled and waved goodbye to Lu Qing, while she casually ignored Shao Meirou’s cold expression.
Lu Pengcheng watched Lin Xia’s receding figure walk away before he entered the hospital room with the meal box.
Shao Meirou stood there motionless, her complexion fluctuating uncertainly.
Lu Qing, pulling Shao Meirou’s arm, tried to persuade her, "Aunt! Please eat something!"
Shao Meirou gently shook off her hand, "Lu Qing! You go ahead and eat! I’m going to wash my face!"
"Alright! Please come back soon!" Lu Qing also knew that her great-aunt had always cared about her appearance. With red-rimmed eyes and disheveled hair, she looked truly disheveled.
Shao Meirou did indeed wash her face, but after tidying herself up, she did not return to the room; instead, she went straight to the doctors and nurses’ office.
Seeing that the head nurse, Luo, wasn’t there, and only an unfamiliar single-eyelid nurse was eating, she gently asked, "Is Nurse Luo off work?"
"She has taken a leave! Do you need her for something?" The single-eyelid nurse asked, putting down her chopsticks.
"It’s kind of urgent! Do you know where she lives?"
"That... why don’t you wait for her to come to work if you have something to say!"
"I’m a distant relative of hers..." Shao Meirou rattled off a string of lies on the fly, and finally got the address.
Luo Yue, working in the hospital, couldn’t help but overhear that uncle arguing with his wife in the stairwell about getting a divorce.
Unable to focus on her work due to her agitated state of mind, Luo Yue asked for leave early and went home.
Luo Xinyan, seeing her daughter return home laden with worries, guessed somewhat what was going on.
"Yueyue!"
Luo Yue sat down beside Luo Xinyan, intimately holding her arm, "Mom! What exactly is going on with that uncle?
You don’t know! That uncle came back to the hospital later, he and his wife had a quarrel near the stairwell, and they weren’t quiet about it. They were talking about getting a divorce or something!"
She had an answer in her heart, yet she dared not believe it was true!
Since she was little, her mother had told her that her father had died in an accident before she was born.
Therefore, she had never imagined that one day a man claiming to be her father would appear.
She had a good first impression of the uncle, he was handsome and had a good temperament, but when she vaguely guessed they could be father and daughter, her heart was in turmoil and resistant.
The uncle had a wife, and his wife’s appearance and temperament were not ordinary. Thinking of the life she, her mother, and grandmother had been living these years, she couldn’t accept such a man suddenly appearing before them.
Luo Xinyan laughed with a smile that was both mocking and sighing, "This is indeed something he would do! After so many years, his character still hasn’t changed!"
She patted her daughter’s hand soothingly and said gently, "Yueyue! You must have guessed something, right?"
Luo Yue nodded, "Mhm! A little! Today when I went to give that old lady an injection, the way she looked at me was as if she had seen a ghost! I only thought she was afraid of the needle at the time! Later she even asked what my last name was;
And that uncle also had a shocked expression when he saw me! So, I’m guessing I have some relation to their family..."
Luo Xinyan stroked her daughter’s beautiful face, choking slightly, "He is your biological father!"
If it hadn’t been for Lu Pengcheng’s visit today, she might have taken this secret to her grave without ever telling her daughter!
And the secret would have gone with her into the coffin.
But that’s just how unpredictable life is!
Just when she had found peace in her heart and ceased to think about everything, he suddenly appeared!
In an instant, Luo Yue’s eyes reddened, "So everything you told me since I was little was a lie!"
Because her father was gone, she had faced so much ridicule and bullying!
Because her father was gone, there was no one to have her back when she faced troubles!
But knowing that this was reality, she had never harbored any resentment!
However, today, her so-called father appeared alive and well before her eyes, accompanied by his wife and mother, and even staying in the hospital where she worked!
Tears streamed down Luo Xinyan’s cheeks without end, feeling that the people she had let down the most in her life were her mother and daughter!
"Yes! Mama lied to you! Yueyue! Mama is sorry!
When Mama and your grandmother came here, I found out I was pregnant! Being an unwed mother and giving birth in that era was incredibly tough!
I also thought about not keeping you, but having an abortion wasn’t easy back then, and it could very likely have left me unable to have children ever again!
Only after a great deal of internal struggle did I decide to have you... So your grandmother and I have always told people that your father died in an accident..."
Do you resent mama for giving birth to you? If you hadn’t been born, maybe you wouldn’t have had to suffer so much hardship and injustice..." Luo Xinyan couldn’t continue, they had truly endured too much suffering.
Luo Yue burst into tears and hugged Luo Xinyan, "Mama! I don’t hate you! I don’t hate you one bit! I want to thank you for giving me life..."
"Yueyue! My good daughter! You’ve suffered so much..." Luo Xinyan couldn’t hold back her tears as she spoke of the past that had been sealed away in her heart for many years.
Mother and daughter wept together, holding each other’s heads.
Luo Yue’s crying gradually subsided, and she asked uncertainly, "Mama! Were you and that old lady driven apart at that time?"
Luo Xinyan wiped away her tears, "Yes! Because of some issues back then... But now so much time has passed, there’s no need to bring it up again! Whether he is divorced or not has nothing to do with us now..."
At that moment, the sound of the front door opening echoed; someone had come home...
