Chapter 519: Chapter 518: Blame Me!

Qin Zeming!

Fang Youlan’s murky, yellowed eyes suddenly widened; she couldn’t believe what she was hearing!

She knew this person!

How could he possibly be Lin Xia’s grandfather? That was simply impossible!

But she also understood that there was no reason for her daughter to lie to her about this, to embellish Lin Xia’s family background!

Yet, she thought to herself, now that Lin Xia’s family background matched her grandson’s, what did that make of all she had done initially?

If it hadn’t been for her trip to Spring City, would the eldest have found those two, mother and daughter? Would she have endured...

For a moment, Fang Youlan couldn’t accept the outcome and blacked out!

"Mom!"

"Grandma!"

Lu Guangqi and the others were all in a panic...

Elsewhere, Lu Zheng and Lin Xia were having a good time; the two cuddled in the warm blankets, chatting.

Just as Lu Zheng was about to make a move, the living room phone suddenly rang.

Lin Xia pushed him away, "Hurry, the phone!"

Lu Zheng’s face flushed, "Ignore it!" He was in no mood to care about the phone at that moment.

Lin Xia was unyielding, fighting him off with both hands and feet, "Oh come on! You quickly go answer it!"

They lived on the first floor, and the phone was in the living room; they couldn’t just wait for his parents who lived upstairs to come down and answer it, could they? What would that be like?

Lu Zheng was extremely reluctant, cursing inwardly. Who on earth would call at such a moment?

He had thought that either his parents or the nanny would answer the phone, so he wouldn’t need to leave the room.

Unfortunately, the phone rang for a long time with no sign of movement in the house.

Only then did he suddenly remember that the nanny had not returned, and his parents were likely asleep upstairs.

The incessant ringing of the phone forced him to reluctantly get up, "I’ll deal with you when I get back!"

Lu Zheng never expected that the call would be about his grandmother being rushed to the hospital.

He put down the phone and hurried upstairs to fetch Lu Pengcheng and Shao Meirou.

Lu Pengcheng and Shao Meirou’s bedroom door was locked, so he had to speak through the door panel, "Dad! Mom! My second uncle called to say Grandma has been taken to the emergency room!"

Shao Meirou’s panic-stricken voice came through, "How could this be! Xiaozheng! Then hurry up, get ready; we’re rushing over right now!"

"Okay!" Lu Zheng rushed down the stairs quickly.

Lu Pengcheng had drunk a bit too much and had fallen asleep as soon as he got back to his room.

Shao Meirou saw that it was uncomfortable for him to sleep in his clothes, so she helped him undress, and eventually they ended up sleeping together...

They had heard the phone ringing downstairs earlier but thought that Lu Zheng and the others would answer it, so they weren’t in a hurry.

Who could have imagined it would be such a call!

It truly was unrest even on a day of great joy!

Lu Pengcheng’s mind was in turmoil as he quickly dressed, his brows tightly furrowed.

Shao Meirou wanted to say a few words, but then thought better of it, fearing that Lu Pengcheng might get upset, so she remained silent.

"What happened?" Lin Xia had gotten up and dressed after Lu Zheng had left the room. Seeing his somber expression, as if something had happened, she felt a sudden tightness in her chest.

Lu Zheng didn’t hide it from Lin Xia; as he dressed, he said, "My grandmother has been hospitalized!"

"What? Let’s hurry and go see her!" Lin Xia was extremely shocked; she hadn’t anticipated such an event at all!

She quickly got out of bed, slipped on her slippers, and began to put on her coat.

Lu Zheng hesitated and finally spoke, "Wife! I think maybe you shouldn’t go!"

He knew why his grandmother had been hospitalized, as his second uncle had already told him over the phone.

Although he knew he couldn’t blame everything on Lin Xia, with his grandmother’s condition unclear, he worried that Lin Xia, if she came along, might face censure from the elders who were angry.

This was the last thing he wanted to see! How could he let his wife suffer that?

Yet Lin Xia was resolute, "I should still go and see her! After all, I’m now your wife! Your grandmother is my grandmother too! If I don’t go, it might even be easier for people to find fault!"

She well understood that the incidents that had occurred between her and the people in Lu Zheng’s grandmother’s home were a deadlock!

People say, "The bell ringer must untie the bell," but it might not work in their case!

Today, at the wedding banquet when she was toasting, she had recognized all of Lu Zheng’s grandmother’s family members.

While everyone was polite face to face, there was also a cold and distant attitude, along with barely concealed resentment and displeasure.

Perhaps many of them believed that she was the one who had caused the old lady’s condition!

Now that she had married Lu Zheng and entered the Lu Family, managing these relationships in the future would probably be difficult!

Luckily, she wasn’t going to live there often; she would just visit occasionally with Lu Zheng, so she needn’t worry too much about those issues!

But now that the old lady was hospitalized, she couldn’t stay away; if she didn’t go, it would only make it easier for people to criticize and complain about her, which would make it difficult for Lu Zheng and his parents!

"Alright then!" Lu Zheng understood how Lin Xia felt; standing in her position, it was true she couldn’t avoid going. He instructed with concern, "But if anyone says anything too harsh, you don’t have to indulge them! Wife! Remember, you are not in the wrong!"

He was worried about Lin Xia blaming herself and taking all the fault upon herself! And in his absence, that others might bully her without resistance or retaliation from her!

In truth, if one were to speak of faults, many people were to blame.

If his mother hadn’t used his grandmother to go to Spring City to break him and Lin Xia up; if his grandmother hadn’t gone to Lin Xia’s home, using Lin Chun to threaten a breakup;

If his grandmother hadn’t exaggerated her illness after being hospitalized to provoke his father... would these sequences of events have happened?

But he couldn’t let things become more complicated, so he now chose not to mention those.

Lin Xia felt deeply moved, her eyes warming as she hugged Lu Zheng, "I remember!"

If it were someone else, they surely would have blamed her! After all, the grandmother was family, and she was an outsider!

But Lu Zheng never had, and this made her feel both moved and guilty.

She also reflected on herself, wondering if she hadn’t been so stubborn with the old lady, then perhaps the subsequent incidents wouldn’t have occurred.

But now, things had already turned out this way, and even if she regretted and wanted to make amends, she was powerless to do so.

She could only hope for Lu Zheng’s grandmother’s speedy recovery, and she didn’t care if they blamed her more in the future!

They hurried to the hospital, only to see a crowd of people either standing or sitting in the corridor.

The young and old of the Lu Family were almost all present, and as Lu Pengcheng and the others arrived, everyone cast a different kind of glance their way, with many eyes turning towards Lin Xia!

"How is mom?" Lu Pengcheng anxiously asked Lu Pengfei and the others.

He had been extremely worried all along the way; the old lady was of a certain age, had fainted from anger and irritation, having a condition that was most susceptible to such incidents.

He continuously blamed himself for the thoughtless actions he had taken initially, rising a deep regret and self-reproach in his heart!
