"Isn’t it because of you?" Mrs. Lu glared at her husband, "When have you ever taken care of him?"
She hastily apologized to the two from the Gong Family, "Mr. Gong, Mrs. Gong, Jinxuan is just being playful, but he and Xueyan are a very good match..."
Mrs. Gong shook her head, "Really? Then where is Jinxuan now?"
Mrs. Lu’s face stiffened, Mrs. Gong chuckled, "Let guess, is it the Other Courtyard?"
Chapter 208 The Day of Retribution is Near
The birthday banquet could be described as ending unfavorably, with Lu Jinxuan leaving a ss for his parents.
Of course, he himself was fearless, or you could say it was intentional.
So, did he really leave because Mu Qinglan wasn’t feeling well?
...
In the apartnt, Yu Sangwan guarded the cake, curling up on the sofa. She already knew Lu Jinxuan would be at the Original House today, but... on such a big day, she still wanted to spend it with him!
Although she usually acted all carefree, at crucial monts, she showed great maturity.
When sending Lu Jinxuan out in the morning, she had cheerfully said to him, "Haha, it’s fine, I’m with you every day, it doesn’t matter about today."
"Ugh..." Yu Sangwan regretted, pouting, "Why did I have to be so generous!"
There was a sound in the hallway, Yu Sangwan was startled and craned her neck, "Who’s there?"
It shouldn’t be Lu Jinxuan; he’s supposed to be at the Original House right now.
However, as footsteps approached, Yu Sangwan couldn’t help but smile, "Why are you here?"
Lu Jinxuan took off his suit jacket, tossed it to her, glimpsed at the cake on the table with his narrow eyes, and teased, "I was afraid if I didn’t co, soone would start crying."
"..." Yu Sangwan glared at him, feeling sweet inside but giving a tough front, "Who’s crying? I’m perfectly happy alone without you."
"Is that so."
Lu Jinxuan was indifferent, bending down to dip his finger in the cake. With his fingertip covered in sweet cream, he held it out to Yu Sangwan, "Open your mouth."
"Ah..." Yu Sangwan obeyed obediently, taking a big bite.
"Is it sweet?" Lu Jinxuan watched her with amusent.
"Mhm." Yu Sangwan nodded, speaking unclearly, "It’s really delicious, don’t you want to try it?"
"Then I won’t be polite." Lu Jinxuan didn’t withdraw his finger, using his other hand to hold her chin, suddenly leaning down for a fierce kiss!
"..." Yu Sangwan’s eyes widened in surprise, her hands clutching his shirt, not knowing what to do.
"Silly girl." Lu Jinxuan bit her lip.
Yu Sangwan was displeased, "How am I silly?"
"On such an important day, how could I leave you alone? Today, and every year after... I’ll spend it with you."
It’s impossible, Yu Sangwan thought, she must have made the cake too sweet!
...
The situation with the Gong Family was not so good. Gong Xueyan watched her parents close the door, wanting to say sothing but unable to.
Gong Hongming glanced at his wife, "Speak. Say everything you want to say."
For all these years, Mrs. Gong had always been conscientious in the Gong Family, taking ticulous care of Gong Hongming, never defying any of his decisions. But this ti, Mrs. Gong was different from before. Secretly, Mrs. Gong hoped Lu Jinxuan would end up with Taotao.
After all, they were actually the real ’engaged couple’... It had been decided eighteen years ago.
"Hongming, you know I’ve always treated Xueyan as my own daughter..." As Mrs. Gong spoke, she thought of Taotao, and tears almost fell.
Gong Hongming couldn’t bear to reprimand her, "For all these years, I have seen how well you’ve treated our father and daughter."
Suddenly, his tone changed, "I have found Song Dasen."
"..." Mrs. Gong was taken aback, panic arising, "What? How is that possible? Wasn’t it said that he was no longer alive?"
Gong Hongming shook his head, "He’s not gone, just changed his na and identity to beco another person... For him, it’s not difficult. His background was too cleanly washed; if not for this, my n wouldn’t have been unable to find any clues for so many years..."
"...Oh." Mrs. Gong was clearly distracted.
Seeing her like this, Gong Hongming narrowed his eyes, a scrutinizing look in them, "With Song Dasen found, Fu Xianlin might still be alive as well... do you have nothing to say?"
Mrs. Gong’s fingertips trembled, forcing a smile, "What could I say? Why would you say that?"
"You should know what I an." Gong Hongming was not polite, even a bit aggressive, "Song Dasen is in the hospital right now, he just woke up... I haven’t yet found out the whereabouts of Fu Xianlin’s daughter. But I will soon..."
He paused, "That daughter is also yours..."
Mrs. Gong instinctively clenched her hands, stamring, "I... I’ve been married to you for so many years, I don’t rember anything from the past."
"Don’t rember?" Gong Hongming raised his voice, obviously not believing, "Really?"
"Of course." Mrs. Gong went over, leaning into his arms, "Don’t overthink it, I’ve long since had nothing to do with them..."
Gong Hongming held his wife, his voice light, "What if we find your daughter? What would you do?"
"Xueyan is my daughter..." Mrs. Gong said against her conscience, but doubt lingered in her heart.
What to do? Gong Hongming already knew Song Dasen’s whereabouts, if he discovered that Yu Sangwan was Taotao... Would Gong Hongming spare Taotao? Taotao was competing with Xueyan for Lu Jinxuan!
How could she prevent Taotao’s identity from being discovered?
With this burden in her heart, Mrs. Gong went to the hospital once more.
She went to see Yu Zhiyuan, deliberately choosing a ti when Yu Sangwan wasn’t around. When she pushed open the door to the ward, Mrs. Gong walked over slowly.
Yu Zhiyuan lay on the bed, eyes closed, seemingly asleep.
Mrs. Gong stood by the bed, staring at him for a long ti, unable to hold back her tears. The once Song Dasen, Fu Xianlin’s most favored subordinate, had beco like this.
Seemingly sensing movent, Yu Zhiyuan opened his eyes, initially not seeing clearly, appearing confused. But suddenly, he realized, pointing at Mrs. Gong, his emotions exceptionally agitated, "You... you! Madam..."
In his mind, Mrs. Gong was still Fu Xianlin’s wife back then!
"..." Seeing his agitation, Mrs. Gong hurriedly glanced around, angrily scolding, "Don’t shout nonsense! Song Dasen, I’ve long had nothing to do with Fu Xianlin! I ca today to tell you, don’t reveal Taotao’s identity!"
Yu Zhiyuan shook his head with difficulty, asking in a muffled voice, "Why?"
"Why?" Mrs. Gong sneered, "You’re asking why I left back then? Did I have a choice? When Xianlin got into trouble, what could I, a woman, do?"
Yu Zhiyuan showed a mocking smile, "Ha..."
Mrs. Gong couldn’t bear his reaction, warning, "Gong Hongming is ruthless; if you still care about Xianlin, you must not reveal Taotao’s identity!"
Yu Zhiyuan was silent for a mont, shaking his head, "You’re afraid that the young lady’s appearance will ruin your life, right! Madam Gong!"
Mrs. Gong’s expression changed drastically, a mont of hesitation exposing her thoughts, indeed, she was afraid...
"Mr. Yu, it’s ti for your treatnt."
The nurse pushed open the door and entered, forcing Mrs. Gong to swallow her words and leave in a hurry.
"Ha..." Yu Zhiyuan chuckled coldly.
... Not far now! For all those who hard the Fu Family back then... and those who abandoned the Fu Family, the day of reckoning is not far away!
Because... Fu Xianlin has returned!
