In the hospital, medicine has been applied to the wound on the back of Lu Zhandong's hand, and the hanging needle that he pulled out has been placed on the back of the other hand. There is a cold silence as the drips fall bit by bit.
Lu Zhandong has been maintaining the same posture for thousands of years like an ice sculpture, with a deep frown between his eyebrows, just like his and her past, present and future, separated section by section, never to intersect again, thinking,
His eyes were dim and desolate, but he just pursed his lips and said nothing, letting the silent despair seep into the air one by one from his skin, his hair, and his fingertips.
Here, he was entangled with the dust, but after the dust settled, his despair still lingered. Suddenly, he felt like he had been completely abandoned!!!
Xia Lihua thought of her son's rare 'consideration' today and asked the driver to take her and her daughter to a nearby shopping mall for shopping and beauty care. The moment before, she was looking at the jewelry she had been coveting for a long time. She was also happy that her son was better than her husband.
However, not long after, Lin Sijia called and she immediately sensed something was wrong. Sure enough, as soon as she came back and opened the door, she saw that scene!!! Her heart immediately jumped up, but she kept suppressing it in front of Lu Zhandong.
, and then found an excuse to go out and catch up with An Ning.
Until now, Xia Lihua still doesn't think she did anything wrong. She was protecting her family and her son. Therefore, even though Lu Zhandong looks terrible at this moment, it is so bad that it makes people feel distressed.
Angry again, for a moment, Xia Lihua even doubted, had she really done something wrong?
However, the next second, Xia Lihua immediately told herself - you must stand firm, you are not wrong, time will prove it all.
So, Xia Lihua took the lead and couldn't help but said: "Are you really obsessed with her? Are you trying to fight against me with your current attitude?"
Lu Zhandong didn't even raise his eyelids.
Xia Lihua frowned, "Thankfully I never believed what Manman said. Do you really have a crush on her? Is this why you have been resisting blind dates?"
Lu Zhandong just continued to stare in a certain direction in the corner of the ward, his lips still tightly closed.
"Speak to me!!!" Xia Lihua couldn't bear it any longer, "Do you think it's me who's wrong? She's like this, hanging out with other people behind her husband's back, pregnant with other people's children, and pretending to be innocent to do this or that.
Woman, are you actually angry at me for such a woman? Even if she slapped me in front of so many people, do you still think it was me who was wrong? Lu Zhandong, I am your mother! I worked hard to give birth to the baby in ten months
Do you want you to treat me like this?"
As Xia Lihua spoke, her eyes began to turn red, and her voice also trembled with sadness. Looking at her cold and stubborn son, she felt disappointed and heartbroken. At the same time, it also aroused the deepest self-esteem in her heart.
Stubborn.
"I still say the same thing, unless I die, otherwise..."
"Mom!" Lu Zhandong finally spoke and interrupted Xia Lihua.
Xia Lihua looked at her son's eyes that suddenly raised. There...it was like a silent lake, filled with the breath of death, with birds flying in groups, not a blade of grass growing, and the darkness was suffocating. The people in the house were
The air suddenly became dull and dull.
And just when Xia Lihua felt that she seemed to be unable to hold her breath, Lu Zhandong slowly said: "I have never understood why you hate An Ning so much. Is it because of your background?
?But it doesn’t seem to be to this extent. I remember when An Ning came home for the first time, your expression was just like what An Ning described later. Even I thought you would uncontrollably slap An Ning. No, even
What's more, if you had stabbed her with a knife, I would have no doubt...why are you so resistant to a teenage girl you just met for the first time?"
Xia Lihua's face changed slightly, and her thick and curled eyelashes brushed with mascara drooped heavily, perfectly isolating the panic and confusion in her eyes from the outside world.
Lu Zhandong glanced over and continued: "There is no scene in my memory of you and dad arguing about any woman. Is it because you are too good at hiding it, or is there really no woman between you? And dad is so fond of An Ning.
Good, so good that both Manman and I started to feel jealous. What is going on all this? Can you give me an accurate answer?"
Xia Lihua finally couldn't bear it anymore, raised her eyes, and asked Lu Zhandong: "Do you mean to suspect that I stole someone behind your father's back? You are my biological child after all! You are stabbing me in the heart with such force.
No less than your dad!"
After Xia Lihua finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes. Although the texture of the mascara was very good, some black stains were still smeared out, and mixed together and flowed through her evenly applied powder, leaving a line
Traces of grief.
Lu Zhandong felt sour and deliberately looked away, "Mom, did you know? When you start to want to escape, you will immediately use anger to cover it up."
Xia Lihua's eyes widened and she was speechless for a moment. Her voice began to tremble with anger, but she just said: "Okay, okay... you might as well just treat me as dead long ago..."
"I'm sorry." Lu Zhandong suddenly interrupted her again, "Mom, I'm sorry."
Looking at her son's eyes that were starting to turn red, Xia Lihua didn't know what to say for a moment. She felt a pain like being cut by a dull knife. No matter how many harsh words she said, they still fell from her body.
piece of meat.
"I promise this is the last time I ask you. Since you don't want to say it, I won't ask you again in the future."
Hearing Lu Zhandong say such words, Xia Lihua breathed a sigh of relief and felt a heavy burden at the same time. She answered silently in her heart - it's not that she didn't want to say it, but... she couldn't say it.
Secrets, especially the deepest secrets, once revealed, will turn everything upside down. Whatever you care about most will be the first to be destroyed.
Her family absolutely cannot do that!!!
"Didn't you just ask me if I fell in love with An Ning?"
Hearing Lu Zhandong take the initiative to mention the question he had asked, Xia Lihua's heart suddenly rose in his throat again. Although he was willing to answer, but judging from his expression, the answer... I'm afraid he wouldn't be what he thought.
If you want to hear it, Xia Lihua immediately wanted to stop it, but Lu Zhandong was already saying: "I'm not interested..."
Xia Lihua was stunned for a moment, the corners of her lips raised slightly, and her heart was about to return to its original state...
"But fall in love."
With a 'crack' sound, Xia Lihua heard the sound of her heart falling hard from a height and falling into pieces.
At this time, Lu Zhandong said again: "I remember when I was very young, you and your father once had a fierce quarrel for some reason. At the dinner table, grandpa called me to sit next to him, saying that you were angry and I was afraid of getting beaten.
, As a result, I couldn't live or die. Even if your face looked so bad at that time, even if you really took out your anger on my father on me later, and I was beaten to tears by you, I still wouldn't let grandpa and the others come to rescue me.
Me, to me, you have always been more important than dad. You taught me the first words in my life, and you also handwritten the first words I wrote. I still can’t speak clearly when I am more than two years old.
Only you can understand it. If I wake up at night and see that you are not here, in my grandpa's words, I can make the whole family so troubled that they can't live in peace."
In those heart-wrenching words, no matter how good the mascara is, it can't withstand the torrent of tears and the rubbing of hands. Xia Lihua's noble and exquisite makeup was suddenly ruined, and Lu Zhandong was also crying quietly.
The ground flowed across his cheeks.
"To this day, your status in my heart is still the same, so you don't have to be afraid of anything anymore. After you gave An Ning a slap in the face like that, and An Ning also slapped you, Mom, maybe one day I will be like this again.
You can get married and have children as you wish, but... I think I will probably never be happy again."
Xia Lihua's heart suddenly tugged and she wiped her tears, "You...you still blame me? Am I going to put my face in front of her and let her hit me? Do you know that if I come back later,
, she will give you the shit basin, and you will continue to be a cuckold and be the cheap father of the child in An Ning's belly!!!"
After hearing Xia Lihua say this again and again, Lu Zhandong said impatiently: "I already knew about An Ning and Jiang Lichuan. As for the pregnancy..."
Lu Zhandong subconsciously erased this from his mind, and then said: "They are all made up."
Seeing that her son was still defending that woman, Xia Lihua became extremely angry and said, "What nonsense are you making this up!!! This is absolutely true! I saw her appear in the obstetrics and gynecology department with my own eyes."
, if you don’t believe me, ask Lin Sijia!”
However, as soon as the words 'Lin Sijia' came out, not only Xia Lihua herself, but also Lu Zhandong was stunned.
"Lin Sijia? When did you become so familiar with Lin Sijia?"
When Lu Zhandong asked, Xia Lihua immediately felt regretful, but Lu Zhandong was still holding on and said: "Why did you come back suddenly? Where is Manman?"
"Manman is at the spa." Xia Lihua replied in a nonchalant way.
But what Lu Zhandong was thinking about was... He remembered that he had told the driver to accompany them all the time. If they wanted to come back early, they should also call him in advance to tell him. But the fact was that he did not receive a call from the driver.
, Xia Lihua suddenly broke in, which means... the driver was tripped by Lu Manman who was left behind?
"You came back on your own?"
"Otherwise, you don't know Manman's driving skills. She just hit someone's car last month. It's lucky that she's fine."
Immediately, Lu Zhandong confirmed his suspicion.
"When did you meet Lin Sijia?"
Xia Lihua was stunned. She originally thought that the topic had begun to deviate, but...
An Ning has never done such exquisite makeup, and has never worn such expensive clothes. From the cutting to the texture to the design, everything is top-notch.
The gray houndstooth workwear A-line knee-length skirt looks conservative, but looking from behind, it is bifurcated at the waist, revealing a hip-length short skirt, showing off the slender legs and waist.
The design is somewhat like the knight style of the European Middle Ages, which perfectly combines the fierceness of men with the innate softness of women. It is paired with a waist-length loose irregular cloak, and the sleeves of the cloak are somewhat like the water sleeves of ancient oriental women.
, coupled with a pair of silver high-heeled shoes studded with diamonds, the whole outfit is a collision of conservative and sexy, a collision of ancient and modern, and a collision of the West and the East.
The sharp lines of her clothes and the high bun are surrounded by a simple hairband made of white diamonds. This is the only jewelry on her body. At first glance, it looks like a princess's crown.
, oh no, coupled with clean and exquisite makeup, she only needs to gently raise her chin in an arc and straighten her eyes, and she is the queen. She only needs a sword at her waist and she can immediately become a queen capable of fighting on the battlefield.
The queen who slays the dragon by herself, and the slight drooping of her eyes can give rise to a feeling that can crush people's hearts, which makes people feel pity for her.
Even Zhou Lu was a little surprised by this kind of dress. An Ning seemed to be a different person, different from the improved cheongsam that Xia Chu chose for her last time.
The cheongsam shows that she is as charming as water, but this one... is a combination of strength and softness, leaning towards heroic spirit.
It looks good. Zhou Lu just doesn't understand why the boss would choose such an outfit for An Ning. But this is just a fashion event, not a battlefield. Looking at the women who are rushing towards the venue, who is not?
She is as charming as she is noble, and her fur-covered shoulders, with either half of her body exposed or her back exposed, vividly interpret the exquisite beauty of a woman's nature.
However, Zhou Lu didn't know that for An Ning, this was about to turn into a battlefield.
When the car door opened, she saw Xia Lihua, who was elegantly dressed, walking towards the venue accompanied by her son and daughter. On the side, Jiang Lichuan gracefully handed over her hand and held her hand.
Her hand placed a gentle kiss on the back of her hand. Under the bright light, his smile was particularly dazzling.
"My beautiful queen, come!"
This was not a traditional evening dress. An Ning did not expect to attend such an occasion. She thought that she would just dress up and accompany him to a restaurant for a meal. It was similar to a date between two people. His expression at that time was
So told her.
However, the moment the car stopped, An Ning was frightened.
This is definitely not a restaurant, this is definitely not a date between two people. There are people here that she really doesn't want to see, but she can't choose. Jiang Lichuan has already pulled her out of the car.
"You have to do anything, just remember one thing, stand by my side."

I started to rush around to pay New Year greetings. I visited all relatives in three days, and then drove back to my hometown. The New Year holiday was more tiring than working. I felt like going to war, but I can guarantee that the updates will not be interrupted.
