Chapter 621: Chapter 620 Are You Leaving?

Lin Xia briefly explained the situation to Lu Zheng, "My second aunt mentioned that our dad resembles Luo Yue, and then my aunt went to the place where Luo Yue’s family used to live to ask around..."

"Some neighbor outright told her that Luo Yue was an illegitimate daughter and even mentioned that her biological dad had visited their home..."

"Then my aunt came to ask me... Anyway, my aunt now knows Luo Yue is our dad’s daughter! I tried to persuade her, but it didn’t seem to have much effect!"

"I was just thinking about going to their place to see... Luo Yue is still in confinement, what if..."

Lin Xia had not expected that Lu Pengcheng’s arrival would lead to such consequences.

She knew her aunt’s temperament well, she appeared amenable but was tough to deal with when it came to issues.

If a quarrel ensued, normally she would let it be, but with Luo Yue still in confinement, the consequences were unthinkable.

Lu Zheng also realized the seriousness of the issue, and he quickly urged Lin Xia, "Wife! Then you should hurry over! Don’t let it escalate! Call me when you get back!"

"Okay! Wait for my call!" Lin Xia hastily ended the call with Lu Zheng after a few words.

Lin Xia told Lin Chun and others at the clothing store where they were playing poker, and then she rode her bicycle straight to Luo Yue’s house.

Lin Aijia returned home with Yu Hongli, under the pretense of having gone out to buy groceries, so naturally, they couldn’t come back empty-handed.

The two bought two big blocks of tofu and entered the house one after the other.

Luo Xinyan had already noticed something off about Lin Aijia, and after they left, she even whispered a few words to Luo Yue.

"Mother-in-law! Why do you look so pale?"

Lin Aijia pinched her own palm and forced a smile, "I’m fine!"

Luo Xinyan saw through her insincerity, but she didn’t feel it was her place to say more.

Because she knew Luo Yue’s mother-in-law was very critical of both of them currently, due to the issues concerning the child.

"Then go back to your room to lie down! Rest a bit!"

Lin Aijia waved her hand, "No, mother-in-law!" She outright stated the reason she and Yu Hongli had agreed upon,

"It’s quite a coincidence! We just went out to buy groceries and ran into a neighbor from near our house!

She said that our Changbai has even lost weight these past few days from neglecting meals!

So I was thinking, now that the child is getting stronger and with you and Hongli both taking good care of him, I should go back soon!"

Having decided to leave, she wouldn’t openly break down relations, so she definitely needed to keep up appearances.

Luo Xinyan was slightly taken aback; she had not at all expected that Lin Aijia would come back and start making arrangements to leave.

But she didn’t believe what Lin Aijia said about running into a neighbor.

"Ah! Since that’s the case, mother-in-law, you should hurry back and take care of Yu Hongli’s dad! We’re here, so don’t worry!"

"Okay! With you all here, what’s there to worry about! I’ll just pack up! I can still catch the bus!" Lin Aijia said in a rapid pace and went straight back to her room in the north.

Luo Yue heard the commotion from inside the room and also got dressed and came out, a flicker of joy crossing her eyes, fleeting yet perceptible.

She also entered the north bedroom, "Mom! You’re leaving?"

Lin Aijia, head bowed as she packed her belongings, didn’t look up or speak, truly unable to make eye contact with Luo Yue.

She was really afraid that she might accidentally reveal her true feelings and say something hurtful.

"Ah! I’ve been here for several days! Leaving your dad alone at home for too long isn’t good either! You and the child are doing well, right? I’ll come visit again when I have some free time!"

Luo Yue followed her lead, "That’s also true, we definitely can’t just leave dad alone all the time! Mom! You’ve worked hard these few days! You must be tired!"

Lin Aijia shook her head, "Hard work? No! As long as you two are doing well, that’s all that matters!"

She still hadn’t gotten over the fact that Luo Yue was an illegitimate child.

But her son’s words echoed in her ears, and she could only endure the fury churning inside, forcibly suppressing her anger.

Before Lin Aijia left, she tiptoed into the south bedroom to see the child.

She had wanted to hold her precious eldest grandson one last time and dote on him a bit.

But the child was sound asleep, and she couldn’t bear to wake him.

She could only kiss the child’s chubby red cheeks with teary eyes and a choked voice, "My good grandchild, grandma will come to see you again after a while! I’ll bring your grandpa with me!"

Standing to the side, Yu Hongli clenched his teeth, feeling very distressed inside, but with things having turned out this way, he had to harden his heart.

Otherwise, not only would Luo Yue’s postpartum recovery be poor, leading to chronic conditions, but it would create an irreparable situation.

And once his mother and Luo Yue and her daughter had torn face, their future interactions would also be awkward and strained.

Luo Yue, confined to her room for the postpartum period, Luo Xinyan wanted to see off Lin Aijia.

But she was stopped by Yu Hongli, "Mom! No need to see me off! The baby will wake up soon! You all stay here! I’ll escort my mom!"

Lin Aijia wiped her eyes, "Yes! I’m not an outsider! You all stay here!"

Luo Xinyan saw that they sincerely did not want her to go, so she stopped insisting.

Yu Hongli went out with Lin Aijia.

Once Lin Aijia and Yu Hongli stepped out of the house, Luo Yue’s expression brightened significantly.

She knew she shouldn’t feel this way, but she couldn’t help feeling that the sky had cleared and the room was no longer stuffy.

"Mom! She finally left! I feel so much lighter!"

Luo Xinyan, feeling helpless, tapped her cheek lightly, "You’re so big now! Yet you’re still acting like a child!"

Luo Xinyan had a bad feeling about Lin Aijia’s sudden departure.

But her daughter was still in her confinement period, could not afford to be upset or worried, so she decided not to say anything to her.

Luo Yue acted coquettishly, "In front of my mom, I’ll always be a child!"

Luo Xinyan patted her hand, unable to resist advising, "Yueyue! You can say anything in front of me! But don’t ever say such things in front of Hongli!

No matter what, she is his mother! No matter how close you are, there are some things you just don’t say!"

Luo Yue twisted her waist, "I’m not stupid! I would never say that to him! I’m just venting to you!"

"As long as you know your limits!" Luo Xinyan knew her daughter was not one to speak thoughtlessly.

Luo Yue happily linked her arm with Luo Xinyan’s, "Mom! I want to eat the potato strips you make! I haven’t eaten well these past few days!"

Because her mom helped take care of the child, the cooking was completely overseen by her mother-in-law.

Every day she was only allowed to eat millet porridge with brown sugar and boiled eggs, without any flavor, and she was going crazy.

Luo Xinyan looked pityingly at her daughter, whose cheeks had slightly sunken, "Okay! Do you want to eat anything else?"

Luo Yue continued ordering, "I want to eat meat!"

"Okay! I’ll make it for you!" Luo Xinyan’s eyes flickered, "Yueyue! Then you go back to your room and lie down! Mom will go out and buy some meat!"

Luo Yue didn’t catch the hint, her smile bright, "Okay! Mom! Hurry back!"

"Alright!" Luo Xinyan lowered her gaze to hide the deep color in her eyes, going out to buy meat was one thing, but she mainly wanted to meet up with Yu Hongli, to ask what exactly had happened...
