Reborn As Lucky Star
Chapter 707: The Answer

Chapter 707: Chapter 707: The Answer

Zhuang Rouhui seemed not to notice Li Ruyu’s emotions, her hands excitedly gripping her son’s shoulders, shaking them incessantly.

"You really do know, don’t you? How did you find her? When did you find out?"

Li Ruyu was like a puppet, expressionlessly being shaken back and forth.

Zhuang Rouhui grew impatient, "Speak up, speak quickly!"

"Say what?"

"One of the matched individuals is Ruyun, right? Who’s the other? Tell your mother."

Li Ruyu stared straight at Zhuang Rouhui, a gaze that made her very uncomfortable.

"What’s with those eyes?"

Li Ruyu pushed his mother away with his hand and numbly sat back down in the chair.

"Why do you want to know? After all these years, you never thought of finding her, did you?"

Zhuang Rouhui didn’t understand how her usually timid and obedient son had suddenly blurted out such words; she was immediately frantic.

"It’s different now, I must find her."

"Yes, after all, once you find her, you can get more money. Otherwise, you’d have to watch helplessly as others take a share of the money. That must be more painful than cutting flesh from your own body."

Zhuang Rouhui stared at her son in shock, as if seeing him for the first time.

Li Ruyu’s face was filled with mockery, "Am I wrong? You’ve always been a woman who loves money above everything else."

Slap!

Zhuang Rouhui’s slap landed heavily on Li Ruyu’s face, causing his cheek to swell immediately.

Li Ruyu indifferently wiped his face.

"Why not admit it? What exactly were Ruyun and I in your eyes all our lives? Tools to secure a husband, or a guarantee for marriage? When have you ever really treated us as living people?"

Zhuang Rouhui, as if struck in the most hidden part of her heart, was instantly enraged with embarrassment and anger.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Do you think you grew up consuming air? Clearly, I——"

"Clearly, you had nannies raise us, right? Do you know what really happened to Li Ruyun? Do you know why I became like this? You know nothing. You were only keen on attending those parties, showing off your pitiful vanity in social circles."

"Sometimes I really envy that person. Although she was abandoned by you right after birth, she was raised in a good environment. You’ve never seen how pure her smile is. I would much rather that it had been Li Ruyun and me who were abandoned!"

Zhuang Rouhui slapped him again, "Shut up, I told you to shut up! Do you hear me? You just have to tell me where that girl is."

But Li Ruyu seemed to want to pour out all the words he had hidden in his heart, "To birth without raising, to raise without teaching—what kind of parents does that make? You and Li Fuhong are both scum. If I could choose, I would rather have never been born at all."

Li Ruyu felt he had gone mad.

He knew he was cowardly and afraid of trouble.

Although he was the older brother, he had always followed behind Li Ruyun, never daring to defy her for half a year.

Yet Li Ruyu truly wanted to be a good brother.

He hated himself for watching Li Ruyun go astray right before his eyes, hated having a pair of unreliable parents with his sister, and hated this family bound together by interests.

Li Ruyu knew that his sister had taken something from him, but looking at Li Ruyun lying on the hospital bed, he still felt sad and pained.

Because she was his family, the sister he relied on for life—

But apart from him, there wasn’t a single person who cared about Li Ruyun anymore.

They came to the hospital merely as a formality, ceaselessly arguing and even fighting in the ward in front of the comatose Li Ruyun.

Then they began to discuss how to divide the interests.

Zhuang Rouhui had come and gone, and he thought she had finally come to her senses and remembered to care for her daughter.

But she came only because she had discovered that piece of paper that could bring her even more benefits.

Li Ruyu couldn’t help but laugh, crying and laughing like a lunatic unable to control his facial nerves.

Zhuang Rouhui also thought her son had gone mad, stepping back in horror.

Not until Li Ruyu finally stopped laughing, his upturned lips slowly returning to their normal position.

"Since you want to know, then I’ll tell you. She is Yue Qingqing, the Yue Qingqing you know."

"The girl you detest, she’s actually your daughter."
