Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties
Chapter 410 - 409: Or Else What?

Chapter 410: Chapter 409: Or Else What?

The visitor was none other than Shao Meirou!

Luo Xinyan didn’t recognize the middle-aged woman who entered, but Luo Yue did!

She looked at the woman with complex emotions.

Shao Meirou had learned the address from that nurse, but had not been able to find the exact house after searching around.

She met someone on the street and inquired, finally finding the right place.

She looked at the small house, which was simple and humble, yet still tidy and clean.

Both mother and daughter still had traces of tears on their cheeks; she could guess they must have been crying before.

The woman was indeed beautiful; even the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes could not hide her watery eyes, which especially after crying, elicited even more pity.

No wonder Lu Pengcheng couldn’t forget her all these years.

Shao Meirou had always been confident about her looks, and she had to admit such beauty was more than enough to act in films when she was younger.

Suppressing the complex emotions in her heart, Shao Meirou introduced herself, "Hello! I am Lu Pengcheng’s wife, Shao Meirou!"

After much thought, she decided to meet the woman Lu Pengcheng had loved.

This woman had been silent for so many years, but she was like an immovable mountain blocking the way between her and Lu Pengcheng.

Now, Lu Pengcheng had finally found the one he had longed for, and even had the unexpected joy of a grown daughter;

she could guess how thrilled and overjoyed he must have been!

But the fact that he wanted to divorce her, that she could never accept!

Luo Xinyan wiped her tears and asked indifferently, "Do you have business with my family?"

The woman in front contrasted with Luo Xinyan. She seemed younger, with an undeniably refined appearance and an elegant and virtuous demeanor.

At a glance, she was clearly someone who had lived a privileged life, never having suffered much hardship.

Luo Xinyan sneered inwardly; Lu Pengcheng was indeed lucky! This one was much better-looking than that surnamed Feng!

"How did you know where I live?" Luo Yue defensively stepped in front of Luo Xinyan, worried this woman would say something hurtful to her mother!

Shao Meirou looked at Luo Yue gently and smiled, though her eyes did not share the smile, "I found out from talking to your colleague!"

Then she turned to Luo Xinyan, "I’m sorry for this intrusion! I hope you’ll forgive my boldness!"

Luo Xinyan responded politely, "No trouble at all! Please, have a seat!" Since the guest had already arrived and was being so courteous, she couldn’t exactly send her away.

She could somewhat guess the purpose of this woman’s visit.

"Mom!" Luo Yue called out reluctantly. She didn’t want this woman in her home.

It wasn’t so bad when she didn’t know, but now that she was clear that this woman was her so-called father’s wife, how could she face her calmly?

Luo Xinyan tugged at her daughter’s arm, signalling her to not be so tense about it.

"If you have something to say, please speak frankly."

Shao Meirou sat down gracefully on a stool nearby, "Then I’ll speak frankly. Pengcheng, after meeting with you and your daughter, is now adamant about divorcing me!

He says it has nothing to do with you, but anyone would find this unacceptable!

We’ve been through thick and thin together for so many years! Our son is almost thirty! How can he be so heartless as to abandon his son and me?

Therefore, I took the liberty of coming here today, firstly to meet you, and secondly, to advise you that for your daughter’s sake, it’s best not to be the one who breaks up a family. Wouldn’t you agree?"

Shao Meirou believed that she couldn’t say anything too offensive; these words were already at the limit of what she could lash out with.

But to Luo Xinyan and her daughter Luo Yue, these words were unbearably harsh!

Luo Yue, in a fit of anger, said, "What are you talking about? When did my mom ever try to destroy your family? Get out of here! You’re not welcome in our home!"

She hadn’t even considered accepting that so-called father of hers, let alone that her mother’s intentions were clear: his divorce had nothing to do with them!

Shao Meirou stood up, her voice shrill, "Lu Pengcheng met you, and now he wants to divorce me; isn’t that destroying my family?" What else would it be?

Luo Yue’s eyes reddened with anger, "Get out! Just go!"

She felt indignant on her mother’s behalf because her mother was beautiful and a widow; having experienced similar situations before, she was particularly sensitive to it!

Shao Meirou was pushed out of the house by an infuriated Luo Yue.

Luo Xinyan followed, grabbing her daughter’s hand to stop her.

"Yueyue!"

All three stood at the doorway, their faces looking awful.

Luo Xinyan, with a cold expression, turned to Shao Meirou and coldly said, "Lu Pengcheng’s divorce has nothing to do with me! If he hadn’t come to our house today, I would never have even thought about looking for him!

Your matters have nothing to do with us, mother and daughter. You’ve got the wrong target! Please leave my house now! And don’t come back again!"

Shao Meirou could tell this woman was speaking the truth, so it must be Lu Pengcheng acting on his own volition.

She felt somewhat reassured, but she didn’t want to lose face in front of them.

"Fine! I hope you stick to your word! Otherwise..."

She hadn’t finished her sentence when an angry voice came from the entrance, "Otherwise, what?"

Lu Pengcheng strode into the courtyard with rage emanating from him, his face darkened with anger.

He had a bad premonition when he saw that Shao Meirou hadn’t returned to the hospital, and upon reaching the doorway of Luo Xinyan’s home, he overheard their conversation.

He felt intense anger and remorse for having caused them mother and daughter such distress because of him!

"Pengcheng! I..." Shao Meirou didn’t expect that in trying to intimidate the mother and daughter, she would be caught red-handed by Lu Pengcheng.

Now, no matter how she explained herself, she would only dig herself deeper into trouble.

With a stern face, Lu Pengcheng said coldly, "Shao Meirou! This is truly the first time I’ve discovered how arrogant and overbearing you are behind my back! You’re indeed the daughter of Mr. Shao! So full of yourself!"

"Pengcheng! I didn’t... I just..." Shao Meirou felt like she couldn’t clarify herself even if she had a hundred mouths.

Luo Xinyan and Luo Yue were far from pleased with Lu Pengcheng’s arrival; instead, they looked at him with resentful eyes.

So, this woman was the daughter of someone with such status and identity! No wonder...

Luo Xinyan, suppressing her emotions, coldly pointed at Shao Meirou and told Lu Pengcheng, "Lu Pengcheng! Please take your wife and leave my house!

And in the future, please refrain from disturbing our peaceful lives. Oh, and regarding that old lady, if she hasn’t died of illness yet, tell her my daughter will forever carry the surname Luo!

Your divorce is none of my business! Don’t even think of scheming behind our backs to harm us again, or I really won’t mind going down with her!"

"Xinyan..." Lu Pengcheng knew they must be very angry and sad at the moment, but he never expected things to turn out this way.

Luo Yue, with keen senses, noticed her mother sway a little. She quickly supported her mother’s shoulders and shouted at them in grief and anger, "Get the hell out of my house!"
