Seeing that her stringency wasn’t working, Madam Lu resorted to emotional pleas, “It’s okay if you’re angry with me, there’s no lasting hatred between mother and son. Whatever you say, I won’t really be angry with you.”
“But you can’t antagonize Yuyi, son. She is bearing the Lu Family’s offspring. The doctors have confirmed that it’s a healthy boy, and he’s developing well.”
“I’ve been longing for a grandson for so long; please don’t disappoint me. I’ve already lost your elder brother. If I were to lose a grandchild as well, I genuinely couldn’t bear such a blow.”
Lu Lingche remained silent, this time he didn’t snap at her.
Madam Lu knew her words were having an effect and continued tearfully, “Ever since your elder brother passed away, I have dreamt of him frequently. In my dreams, he’s always concerned about Yuyi, asking me to take care of her. He adored Yuyi immensely when he was alive. Didn’t you know?”
“You’ve gotten Yuyi pregnant, and you’ve already wronged her enough. Don’t keep compounding your mistakes. If she were to terminate the pregnancy, it could be highly risky. Her health isn’t good and she could lose her life as well as the baby’s. Surely you wouldn’t want your elder brother’s spirit to rest in peace, would you?”
“Please son, for my sake, go and apologize to Yuyi. Pregnancy often triggers emotional upheavals: if anything unhappy were to happen, it’ll be too late for us to regret.”
Somehow, a particular sentiment pierced his heart and Lu Lingche finally wavered, “Alright, I’ll go see her.”
After hanging up the phone, he drove to his elder brother’s villa.
Lan Yuyi was weeping on the sofa, with his assistant dutifully standing guard beside her.
Seeing Lingche arrive, the assistant stepped back.
Lu Lingche walked up to Lan Yuyi and draped a blanket around her. He then sat down two meters away from her and spoke indifferently, “Stop crying. Your tears have no effect on me, although I believe my elder brother wouldn’t want you to cry.”
Of course, Lan Yuyi knew her tears made no difference to him.
However, if Lu Shengqing wouldn’t want to see her crying, that was enough.
Because, even though Sheng Qing is dead, LingChe would not do things to upset his elder brother.
Through her sobs, she asked, “Why are you here? Didn’t you doubt that the child in my belly is yours? Are you here to hound me to death? Or do you want me to prove the paternity of the child right now? You’re going too far!”
Every time Lu Lingche saw her crying, he felt a headache and got frustrated, “Stop overthinking, go upstairs to sleep!”
“You’ve painted me so despicable, how am I supposed to sleep? Lingche, don’t you think you should apologize to me?”
Lu Lingche stared out at the pouring rain and remained silent.
Apologize?
What a joke!
Who taught him to apologize? No one.
Growing up, his parents doted exclusively on his elder brother, leaving him with nothing but reproach and cold detachment.
When he was seven, a servant broke a valuable vase and blamed it on him. His father beat him mercilessly, and no amount of begging or explaining mattered.
Later, the truth came out that it was the servant who broke the vase.
But did anyone apologize to him? No.
At the age of nine, he fell sick with a fever and headache, not feeling like going to school. His mother thought he was faking it to skip school and beat him before forcing him to go to school.
He fainted at school and was taken to the hospital by a teacher. The doctor confirmed that he was severely sick, not pretending.
Did anyone apologize to him then? No.
So, why should he apologize to Lan Yuyi?
When he argued with Qiao Yin, he did indeed lose his temper and said some harsh things.
But with Lan Yuyi, he never lost his composure, and he didn’t feel that he was wrong in what he said.
He had no memory of the night he spent with Lan Yuyi. After drinking a spiked glass of champagne, he quickly lost consciousness and didn’t even know how he ended up in the hotel room.
When he woke up the next day, he found Lan Yuyi in bed beside him.
He couldn’t make sense of how Lan Yuyi ended up in his room.
But according to Lan Yuyi, she had noticed his unusual state, helped him to the hotel room, and then, he forcefully took her to bed, leading to what shouldn’t have happened..
