My Happy Daily Life After Being Reborn-Chapter 340 - 38 Ligation_2

"It’s okay, you just need to rest for two weeks after surgery. You can still work, just avoid heavy physical labor and intense sports, it won’t have much impact." Shen Chi kissed her forehead as he spoke.

Lin Xiaoguai felt like crying and tightly hugged his waist, her whole body curling up into his embrace.

Shen Chi enjoyed her reliance on him, his chin resting on the top of her head, his faint smile full of tenderness.

"Damn it!" Upon hearing that Shen Chi had undergone a vasectomy, Yu Bingliang smashed the teacup in his hand.

Huang Xue Mei coldly said, "I’ve said it before, not every man falls for the beauty trap. Do you really think your daughter is exceptionally gorgeous? Just look at how stunning Mrs. Shen is, would Shen Chi fancy Lu Lei? Now you see, trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice, just watch. Shen Chi is not the kind who won’t fight back."

Lu Lei kept her head down, not saying a word, feeling deeply humiliated inside.

When Uncle Yu mentioned planning to offer her to Shen Chi as a mistress, she was angry and unwilling. She wanted to object, but her sister stopped her.

[Just watch, he is humiliating himself.]

She didn’t understand it at the time, but later, when she saw Uncle Yu being belittled by the man named Shen Chi so that he couldn’t even lift his head, she knew her sister was right, that man was different from Uncle Yu.

Knowing the outcome in advance, she wasn’t very upset with Shen Chi’s rejection.

She thought Uncle Yu would know when to stop, but instead, he felt insulted and said he needed to teach Shen Chi a lesson. Now, not only did it not scare anyone, but he himself ended up embarrassed.

But it was different when said by Huang Xue Mei.

"Don’t be smug," Lu Lei glared at Huang Xue Mei and said, "Don’t think I don’t know, just the other day you were telling your beloved son that if he could use me to climb up to the Han Family, the position he was eyeing might just become his."

She sneered, "Acting all noble, but in reality, you’re just greedy."

Unlike Lu Rong’s previous irrational entanglements, Lu Lei was smarter, her rebuttals sharper.

Huang Xue Mei’s face turned sour immediately. How did this wretched girl hear that conversation?

—She hadn’t put much hope in Shen Chi fancying Lu Lei. But the colossal backing of the Han Family was too significant for her son, plus Lu Lei, different from Lu Rong who resembled Yu Bingliang, inherited seven parts of Lu Xiao’s beauty and was smarter than Lu Rong, it may just work out.

"What did you say?" Seeing Yu Bingliang look over in confusion, Huang Xue Mei kept a cold face and feigned calmness, "Don’t think everyone is like you, I never thought of having my talented son climb up using nepotism."

"Really think you’re the loyal type?" Lu Lei sneered, "Then let’s speak plainly. Who was it that ran to Zhongnan County to curse my mother, calling her a ’dirty shoe’?"

"You clearly knew my mother was innocent. It was your failure to control your husband that led him to deceive decent women, tricking my mother into marrying him."

"Ha, no matter how innocent and pitiful you act, aren’t you still a venomous woman?"

Different from her naive sister, Lu Lei actually knew no less.

She knew it from long ago.

Like when Huang Xue Mei maliciously exposed their identities at their doorstep, how their mother struggled to escape the relentless persecutions of the Red Guards.

Those people said their mother was so distressed by the deceptive marriage that she repeatedly attempted suicide by fasting, cutting her wrists, jumping into the river, wanting to end her sinful life. When speaking about their mother’s disregard for her daughters, those people reveled in schadenfreude, sure that their mother must have despised them, being that man’s daughters.

If her sister had heard it, she might have believed it all, but Lu Lei was different. She had her own opinions and didn’t blindly believe what others said.

She knew better than anyone how resilient their mother’s character was. Suicide? That word would never appear in her life. True pain was there, but she would never choose suicide, a cowardly way out. She believed more in the hate, resentment, and madness in her heart.

Her mother, with confidence and self-love that men couldn’t match, would never make things difficult for herself.

So what was the purpose of her mother’s actions?

Thinking about the cruel and psychotic nature of those Red Guards, to be spared by them, one must appear more wretched and pitiable before they acted.

Clearly, her mother did all that to survive, to live a better life.

As for her indifference to her daughters—Lu Lei couldn’t imagine, if their mother showed any maternal love, how those Schadenfreude-seeking Red Guards would torture her and her sister, the "bastards" in their eyes.

You see, during the later stages of the Cultural Revolution, the persecution in their area was severe. Not just children like her, but even newborns were drowned.

So compared to her sister’s mere hostility towards Huang Xue Mei without any malice, Lu Lei undoubtedly hated Huang Xue Mei very much, hated her enough to want to tear her flesh and drink her blood, making her repay for the years her mother suffered.

Huang Xue Mei shuddered upon hearing this, her eyes widening—

How could Lu Lei know?

Regarding the things she had done back then, she wasn’t without regret, but even if she could go back, she thinks she would still do the same.

Being betrayed by someone so close was too painful; even knowing Lu Xiao was innocent, she found her presence loathsome.

Without an outlet for her emotions, she wouldn’t have been able to go on.

When Lu Rong came along, she was terrified and restrained herself for a while, afraid Lu Rong would reveal the past in front of Yu Bingliang. Seeing that she genuinely knew nothing about those happenings eased her mind, and she dared to lay hands on her.

So when Lu Lei arrived, she had none of her previous concerns—but what Lu Rong didn’t know, Lu Lei did!? (To be continued.
