Chapter 438 - 437: Who is this?

Chapter 438: Chapter 437: Who is this?

Yu Hongli dropped Luo Yue off at her doorstep, and only after he saw her enter did he turn to leave.

But before Yu Hongli had taken a few steps, he heard Luo Yue’s loud shout.

Without a second thought, he ran back and pushed the door open to enter the yard.

When he entered the house, he saw Luo Yue kneeling on the ground, holding an unconscious middle-aged woman.

"What’s wrong? We need to get her to the hospital!"

"Mom! Mom!" Luo Yue cried as she pinched Luo Xinyan’s philtrum firmly.

She was filled with regret; she knew her mother had always been in poor health and that everything she did was for Luo Yue’s sake, yet they had still argued over that man.

If anything were to happen to her mother, she would never forgive herself.

Just as Yu Hongli was about to lift Luo Xinyan, she finally regained consciousness, "Yueyue..."

"Yes! Mom! Are you okay? Let’s go to the hospital now!"

Luo Xinyan gestured dismissively, "I’m fine! No need for the hospital! I just blacked out and didn’t know anything!" She looked at the unfamiliar man in her house and asked, "Who is this?"

Luo Yue didn’t know how to introduce him, "This is... a relative of Lin Xia’s!"

Luo Xinyan was stunned; she couldn’t understand how her daughter could know a relative of Lin Xia’s family, let alone that he was in their home.

She quickly expressed her gratitude. "Thank you, young man!"

"Not at all! Don’t mention it!" Yu Hongli turned to Luo Yue, "Nurse Luo, what should we do now?"

Luo Yue still wanted to persuade her mother to go to the hospital for a check-up, "Mom! Let’s go to the hospital and get you examined!"

"No need! I’ve told you I’m alright! I’ll just lie down for a while, and I’ll be fine!" Luo Xinyan was adamant about not going.

So Luo Yue, wiping away her tears, could only ask Yu Hongli to help carry her mother onto the kang bed.

Seeing there wasn’t a serious issue and that the mother and daughter probably had things to discuss, Yu Hongli bid his leave.

Luo Yue walked him to the outside gate, and after Yu Hongli offered a couple of words of comfort, he left.

After Luo Yue had locked the front door and returned inside, she saw her mother, pale as a ghost on the kang bed, and her tears started flowing again.

She climbed onto the kang, grasped Luo Xinyan’s hand, and wept, "Mom! I’m so sorry! It’s all my fault for angering you!"

If she hadn’t said those harsh words, perhaps her mother wouldn’t have fainted.

Tears streamed down Luo Xinyan’s cheeks and into her hair as she choked up, "Yueyue! It’s mom who should apologize! I’m sorry for bringing you into this world only to suffer alongside me, and for not having the means to provide you with a better life!

Accepting those things from him, aside from wanting to make life easier for us both, was also because I thought, if someday I’m gone, and you are left all alone, at least... with some money and property you could have an easier life."

Luo Yue sobbed and nodded fervently, "Mom! I understand! I know whatever you do is for my sake! I was just shocked to find out about it and couldn’t accept it at the moment!

But thinking it over, it was right of you to accept it. Why shouldn’t we take it? He owes us! Next time he comes around, I’ll ask for even more... I’m going to fight for half of his son’s inheritance!"

Luo Xinyan weakly smiled; she knew her daughter wasn’t the greedy type and that she had her self-respect!

"Yueyue! It’s enough that you can forgive your mom," she began to ask about the man from before, "That young man you just mentioned, Lin Xia’s relative? How do you know him?"

"He’s a child from Lin Xia’s aunt’s family. Some time ago, when Lin Xia’s father was hospitalized, he helped take care of him, so that’s how we got to know each other."

"Oh! So that happened!" Luo Xinyan asked again, "Then why did he appear at our place?"

Luo Yue didn’t dare tell her mother about what had just happened. She explained in an understated way, "I ran into him near our house before, and then he walked with me for a while. He must have heard me shouting, so he rushed in to help..."

Luo Xinyan commented, "In that case, the young man is really nice!"

"Yes! He’s indeed quite good!" Luo Yue didn’t want to elaborate, so she changed the subject, "Mom! Where is that house? Have you seen it yet?"

"I have seen it. It was Lin Xia who helped buy it. It just needs a little tidying up before we can move in!" Luo Xinyan knew her daughter’s feelings, but this place really wasn’t suitable to stay in any longer.

Before all these rumors started flying around, it was still tolerable. Now, almost all the neighbors knew about their mother and daughter’s situation, and there was that shameless man always loitering at their doorstep. She needed to leave this place as soon as possible, not for herself, but for her daughter’s sake.

Luo Yue had many feelings of bitterness and reluctance, but seeing her mother’s reddened eyes, she clenched her fists and said with a smile, "Alright! Then let’s move as soon as you have seen to everything!"

"Auntie! You’re here!" Lin Xia was very enthusiastic about Luo Xinyan coming to find her at her stall, and her timing was perfect—she had just arrived to deliver some goods moments ago.

Luo Xinyan said apologetically with a smile, "Lin Xia! I need to ask for your help!"

Lin Xia readily agreed, "No problem at all! Just tell me what you need!"

When she first learned about the relationship between Lu Zheng’s father and nurse Luo, she felt immense sympathy for the mother and daughter.

Now knowing that she was also someone she had known in the past, she wanted to help them as much as she could within her abilities.

"I want to give that house a simple fix-up, just paint the walls, but I don’t know anyone in that line of business, so I was wondering if you knew anybody!"

Luo Xinyan had seen Lin Xia before and knew that this girl was straightforward and warm-hearted, could get things done, and knew many people, which is why she had come to her for help.

"Auntie! You’ve come to the right person! I know several people!" Lin Xia glanced at her surroundings, "Well, Auntie, I’m done here too. Let’s walk and talk!"

"Great!" Luo Xinyan followed Lin Xia out of the greenhouse.

Lin Xia asked about what she wanted to do and then helped her find people for the job.

After seeing Luo Xinyan alone with the two men working, Lin Xia, concerned, followed them to the new house as well.

While the two men were busy inside, Lin Xia and Luo Xinyan sat on small stools in the yard, chatting.

The two had met before but weren’t close, so after not talking for very long, they became quite friendly with each other.

Luo Xinyan was very grateful to Lin Xia, setting aside the relationship her son had with Lin Xia, she actually liked Lin Xia quite a bit.

Lin Xia came along not only because she was worried, but she also had a little ulterior motive—she wanted to ask Luo Xinyan about Nurse Luo’s matters of the heart.

Even though Lu Pengcheng had asked her not to, if she directly mentioned it, it would surely backfire.

"Auntie! That... How old is Nurse Luo this year, thirty-something?"

"Thirty-three!" Luo Xinyan laughed, "Lin Xia! You don’t need to be so formal calling her ’Nurse Luo’. Just call her by her name! Or you could call her ’Sis’; she’s quite a bit older than you anyway!"

"Okay! I’ll call her ’Sis’!" Lin Xia mentally calculated the age difference between Yu Hongli and herself, "So what kind of partner is she looking for? Are there any requirements? I know quite a few people, and if I come across someone suitable, I can introduce them to her!"

When Luo Xinyan heard Lin Xia bring this up, she thought of her own relatives, "What about your aunt’s sons? Do they have partners?"

"One son! No partner!" Why did Lin Xia feel a bit confused? Could the person in front of her have the ’Mind Reading Technique’ or something...
