Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 704 - 703: Up to No Good!

Lu Guangqi glanced sideways at Fang Youlan, "Ask your mom!"

After he had spoken, he went back to his room to lie down, even if he wasn’t sleeping, he just lay there with his eyes closed.

Having watched her old man’s retreating back, Lu Shuhui was completely baffled, "Mom! What’s going on with you guys?"

"He’s mad at me!" Fang Youlan took the opportunity to complain to her daughter, "Shuhui! Look at what your father has become. He started by pointing his finger at my nose and criticizing me. I took it all, yet he’s still not letting it go!

Now he won’t even talk to me! Fine, don’t talk! I don’t want to talk to him either!"

Fang Youlan said this, but in fact, she didn’t feel as righteous and indifferent in her heart.

Her partner had been with her for so many years, and this was the first time they were having such a cold war.

While she was angry and depressed, she was also a little worried – after all, anger could harm the body, and she was concerned about Lu Guangqi’s health.

Lu Shuhui felt a bad premonition rising inexplicably in her heart, and she pressed on, "Surely there’s a reason for the anger? Dad’s usually so good-tempered! He doesn’t easily get this angry!

Mom! What on earth did you do?"

Fang Youlan had no choice but to tell Lu Shuhui the reason why he was angry.

Lu Shuhui could barely hold back the urge to facepalm when she heard half of it. If it were any other matter, she would have sided with her mother without question.

But this time, even she felt deeply that her mother was outrageously wrong!

"Mom! I can’t side with you this time! When you mentioned that ’Fetal Exchange Medicine’ last time, I told you it wasn’t okay!

And then what did you do? Just because my second uncle’s grandson called Lin Xia ’little sister,’ you went ahead and got that medicine to try to make her drink it!

You could’ve at least told me ahead of time, maybe I could have stopped you a bit!

Now, you’ve embarrassed us in front of my sister-in-law’s father. How can dad be okay with this?

You know how much he values his face..."

Fang Youlan also felt some regret. She didn’t know what had come over her then. When she heard the eldest grandson call the baby in Lin Xia’s womb a ’little sister,’ she foolishly set her heart on turning the girl into a boy.

She hadn’t considered any of the other implications or the consequences at all.

Even if she had thought things through a little more at the time, she wouldn’t have lost face in front of Shao Chengzhi.

"I really didn’t think too much at the time, plus your third aunt... sigh! There’s no point talking about this now!"

As soon as Lu Shuhui heard that her third aunt was involved, her brow furrowed deeply.

Speaking of which, she had a very poor impression of her third aunt, "Mom! You should keep away from her in the future! And as for our family matters, why involve these outsiders all the time!"

Fang Youlan disagreed, "Shuhui! How is your third aunt an outsider? If it weren’t for her help back then, you kids might have starved to death!"

Lu Shuhui was speechless, "Mom! Stop bringing up those old sesame-seed-sized issues! Those are tales from how many years ago; you’re always dredging them up!

The day after tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, my big brother and Xiaozheng will definitely be home in these next couple of days! Just wait and see, who knows what kind of trouble it will stir up!"

Fang Youlan’s expression changed slightly; she was not too concerned about her eldest son, but her grandson...

Just then, the telephone on the coffee table suddenly rang "Ding-a-ling."

Fang Youlan’s heart skipped a beat; could it be...

Seeing that she didn’t pick up, Lu Shuhui reached out to answer it, but Fang Youlan snatched it away instead.

With barely concealed nervousness, Fang Youlan picked up the receiver, "Hello?"

Upon hearing her voice, the other end finally spoke, "Big sister! Is it convenient? I could bring it over today. I won’t have any time over New Year’s!"

Fang Youzhen’s voice had a strong penetrating power, and Lu Shuhui could hear everything without having to listen closely at her side.

Fang Youlan glanced at her daughter, whose face had changed color, and pressed her lips together, lowering her voice a few notches, "No need! Alright! I’m busy right now; I’ll call you when I’m free!"

Despite everyone else’s objections, she remained determined to have Lin Xia swallow that Fetal Exchange Medicine.

Thus, she secretly contacted Fang Youzhen, asking her to help get another portion for keeping, planning to use it on New Year’s Eve. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Her son and grandson were both rarely coming home for the New Year; it was a day for a family reunion, and they would definitely come to her house for New Year’s Eve.

By then, would she still worry about not having the chance to let Lin Xia take it?

But now, in front of her daughter, how could she let her find out?

"Big sister... you..." Fang Youzhen on the other end still wanted to say something, but Fang Youlan ruthlessly cut her off.

Lu Shuhui instantly saw through what was happening!

She truly hadn’t expected that, no matter how angry her father was or how tirelessly she tried to persuade, she couldn’t deter her mother’s determination to carry on with her plan to the bitter end!

She couldn’t hide her anger as she spoke with biting sarcasm, "My third aunt sure is paying close attention to this matter! Why else would she be sending you Fetal Exchange Medicine? So you can give it to Lin Xia again?"

"No! Your third aunt was just asking if I wanted any sticky rice dumplings!" Fang Youlan, seeing her daughter’s disbelief, softened her tone, "Actually, she means well! She sees how anxious and upset I am over this..."

Lu Shuhui snorted coldly, "I think she’s up to no good! If that Fetal Exchange Medicine is so effective, why doesn’t she use it on her daughter-in-law? She gave birth to two girls!"

Fang Youlan defended her, "Your third aunt didn’t know before, did she? By chance, she met someone who mentioned someone had this Fetal Exchange Medicine!

If she had known earlier, she would have definitely let her daughter-in-law take it!"

Lu Shuhui sensed something was amiss, "So it turns out..."

"Knock, knock, knock"

There came a knock at the door, and Lu Shuhui got up to answer it.

When she saw that it was a grim-faced Lu Zheng standing outside, Lu Shuhui, after a moment of surprise, quickly put on a warm smile, "Xiaozheng is back! Come in! When did you get off the train?"

Lu Shuhui and Fang Youlan exchanged a look across the void and both felt that he had come to settle scores.

"This morning!" Lu Zheng said with a resolute expression, speaking to Lu Shuhui while his sharp eyes turned to his grandmother, Fang Youlan.

Who could have predicted that this old lady, who looked even more frail and haggard, would do something so foolish and ignorant!

After he heard his mother’s account, he felt not only furious but also a wave of fear.

What if Lin Xia could not stand up to Grandma and drank the chicken soup with the Fetal Exchange Medicine in it, what then?

Would his daughter or son suffer unimaginable harm before even being born?

Under Lu Zheng’s stern gaze, Fang Youlan started to feel slightly uncomfortable, attempting to evade his look.

In fact, she had mentally prepared herself beforehand and was no longer feeling as guilty.

After all, why had she done so much?

Was it not for Lu Zheng, for the Lu Family!

But when she truly faced the almost tangible reproach in Lu Zheng’s eyes, she couldn’t help but feel guilt creep back in.

Seeing this, Lu Shuhui hurriedly nudged Lu Zheng gently, "Xiaozheng, please sit down! I’ll go call Grandpa!"

In the current situation, it looked like only her father could mediate.

In the living room, only Fang Youlan and Lu Zheng were left...
