Chapter 501 - 500 Why Didn’t You Tell Me!

Chapter 501: Chapter 500 Why Didn’t You Tell Me!

Lu Zheng’s words were calm and unemotional, as if he were simply commenting on the nice weather today.

But for Lu Pengcheng, it was like a thunderclap on a clear day, a "crack" exploding right by his ear!

It completely stunned Lu Pengcheng!

"What? Lin Xia’s uncle and Xinyan..."

He originally thought his son was worried about saying certain things in front of Lin Xia’s family later on, so he took the opportunity to speak to him now.

But he never expected him to reveal this!

He had never imagined such a day would come!

He simply couldn’t believe what his ears were hearing!

How could Luo Xinyan have ended up with Lin Xia’s uncle—the man named Song Yinran?

He had met Song Yinran before!

When his daughter Luo Yue got married, he even went with him to Lin Aijia’s home to attend the wedding.

They even shared a kang bed with Cao Jianbin and Along on the night before the wedding!

Lu Pengcheng couldn’t maintain his composure and calm any longer, he urgently asked in a hurried tone, "When did it happen? How did they get together? Why didn’t Lin Xia breathe a word of it to me?"

He had always felt close to his daughter-in-law Lin Xia, believing she would phone him about anything significant.

And he had instructed Lin Xia to take good care of Luo Xinyan and her daughter, and to call him if there was anything they couldn’t handle.

Yet for such a big matter, Lin Xia hadn’t mentioned a thing to him!

To say he didn’t feel any resentment toward Lin Xia at this moment would be a lie!

"It happened some time ago! Lin Xia called me about it, and I asked her not to tell you yet!" Lu Zheng took all the blame upon himself.

Lu Pengcheng glared at Lu Zheng and bellowed, "Why didn’t you tell me!"

His heart felt as if it was being deep-fried, so painful he could barely breathe.

The woman he loved had married someone else without his knowledge!

While he rationally understood that it was her right, he had no place to interfere,

his heart uncontrollably surged with acidity, gloom, jealousy, sorrow—so many emotions mixed together.

Lu Zheng had anticipated Lu Pengcheng’s reaction and spoke with a calm expression and even tone, "Dad! Can you calm down a bit? My advice for her not to tell you was based on many considerations!

Firstly, her intended is Lin Xia’s uncle, would you have given Lin Xia a hard time over the phone after hearing this news? Could you have acted impulsively and done something irreversible?"

Lu Pengcheng breathed heavily in silence, admitting to himself that there was a possibility of what his son said occurring!

Lu Zheng continued, "Moreover, I don’t know the specifics of what happened back then, but isn’t it true you’re responsible for delaying her life? At her age, shouldn’t she also have the right to pursue her own happiness?

Even if you were told, what could you do? It would still make you sad, right? That’s why I suggested that Lin Xia keep it from you for the time being, thinking perhaps when the time was right..."

Lu Pengcheng signaled with his hand to stop him, "Enough! No more! I understand! Let me be alone and quiet down!"

He leaned back against the chair as if all his strength had been sapped, staring out of the car window with a vacant, listless gaze.

Before he came to Spring City this time, he had even considered finding a chance to see Luo Xinyan and to check on how she and her daughter were doing.

Looking back, marrying Lin Xia’s uncle should have made her very happy, right?

I met and interacted with Song Yinran, and he indeed is a man with all-round good qualities, worthy of entrusting a lifetime to!

After regaining a bit of rationality about this matter, I understood it’s no one’s fault to blame!

It’s not wrong for Luo Xinyan to want to get married and live her life! Nor did Lin Xia and Lin Xia’s uncle do anything wrong!

But why does my heart still hurt so much?

Perhaps it’s because I am inherently a selfish and indifferent person. I have been searching for a loved one for so many years, and finally found her in my lifetime. I should be happy, free of regrets.

However, I later grew greedy, wanting to rekindle the past with her or to remain by her side, even being neighbors would suffice.

The turn of events went beyond my wildest imagination. Insisting on divorcing Shao Meirou not only caused my father-in-law to fall ill but also led my mother to suffer a semi-paralysis, from which she still languishes in bed to this day...

While driving seriously, Lu Zheng would occasionally glance at Lu Pengcheng sitting beside him.

He sighed internally, thinking his father was truly a pitiful man at heart!

People say true lovers will eventually wed! Yet in reality, too many pine in vain, unable to be together.

I’m extremely grateful that despite some ups and downs Lin Xia and I went through and the many things that happened, the outcome turned out well.

Therefore, I will cherish this hard-earned happiness even more! I’ll take great care and treasure it dearly!

The two cars arrived one after the other at Lin Xia’s doorstep, and everyone got out of their vehicles.

Seeing Lu Pengcheng’s pale and defeated look as he got out of the car, Shao Meirou sensed that something was off. Quickly approaching, she supported him, "Pengcheng! What’s wrong with you? What happened?"

Even when they were freezing in the car that wouldn’t start, his complexion wasn’t this bad.

How could Lu Pengcheng possibly tell her the truth? He found an excuse on the spot, "Suddenly, my stomach feels uncomfortable!"

"I have medicine with me! Take two pills later!" Shao Meirou walked with him toward the house.

Full of excitement, Lu Qing followed closely behind Jiang Mingyuan. She had gone to great lengths to join her great-uncle and others coming here, determined not to miss such an opportunity.

Lin Xia and Lu Zheng deliberately walked slowly at the back, exchanging a knowing look.

Lin Xia whispered, "Is your dad okay?"

She could tell at a glance that Lu Pengcheng was greatly affected and couldn’t help but worry - not only for his well-being but also fearing that he might blame her for it.

"It’s okay! Don’t worry!" Lu Zheng understood his father well enough to know he wouldn’t easily be knocked down.

"That’s good! Thanks!" Lin Xia let out a big sigh of relief. She was about to catch up with the others who had already entered the house when—

Lu Zheng suddenly grabbed her arm, smiling with a hint of suggestiveness, "Verbal thanks won’t do!"

Lin Xia, understanding his implication, shook him off in embarrassment and indignation, "Keep dreaming!"

The two of them entered the house laughing and playing, only to find quite a number of people in the living room.

Aside from the group that just entered—Lu Pengcheng and his company at the doorway—Lin Qiu and Zuo Shimao, who had come from far, as well as Song Yinran and Song Zhiya, were also there!

The situation was so unexpected that Lin Xia and Lu Zheng exchanged a tense glance, worrying whether Lu Pengcheng, who had just received the news, might lose his composure...

Lu Pengcheng didn’t expect to encounter Song Yinran so quickly; his heart had not yet recovered from the pain.

Song Yinran showed perfect gentlemanly decorum, looking at Lu Pengcheng’s group with a warm laugh, "You’ve had a long journey! Please, have a seat! Make yourselves comfortable!"

Lu Pengcheng replied with a harsh tone and sharp eyes, "It wasn’t difficult! I heard you got remarried!"
