Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 715 - 714: It Seems I Still Didn’t Hit Hard Enough!
Chapter 715: Chapter 714: It Seems I Still Didn’t Hit Hard Enough!
Fang Youlan had just heard that Lin Xia was pregnant with twins and was completely flabbergasted!
Because she had done something foolish and nearly harmed the child in Lin Xia’s womb, she now dared not say anything about whether Lin Xia was carrying a girl or anything else.
But she never expected that the checkup would reveal twins!
Upon reflecting, Fang Youlan couldn’t help but feel a deep resentment!
What were they doing earlier?
Why didn’t they get it checked immediately after they came back to the provincial city?
If they had checked earlier, and had let her know that Lin Xia was carrying twins, she wouldn’t have foolishly thought about the Fetal Exchange Medicine!
If she hadn’t considered using that Fetal Exchange Medicine, would she have ended up being schemed against and used by others?
She ultimately couldn’t suppress her anger and spoke without restraint.
"Why didn’t they get it checked when they first came back? If they had checked earlier, and I knew she was carrying twins, even if they were all girls, I wouldn’t have harbored other thoughts!
I think, they just want to contradict me deliberately! They want to see me embarrassed..."
Fang Youlan’s words were fast and frantic; by the time Lu Shuhui was shocked and wanted to intervene, it was already too late.
Lu Pengcheng’s face was livid with anger. He had originally had compassion and had not wanted to blame his mother, but now it seemed he had been too soft and lenient again!
"Did they have the ability to foresee the future? Or did they wish you harm the child?"
Fang Youlan was rendered speechless by the rebuke, and just as she began to say a word, Lu Guangqi’s sharp command to shut up stopped her!
Lu Guangqi’s ruthless gaze was fixed on Fang Youlan as he coldly said, "It seems I still haven’t been harsh enough!"
He had spent more than half of his life with Fang Youlan and had never felt so disappointed in her!
Because he had lost a leg, he felt like he was disabled, and had even considered divorcing Fang Youlan at the beginning, letting her find a physically complete man.
But Fang Youlan had stuck by him unwaveringly, not only meticulously taking care of him but also looking after their children.
He always felt that her life was not easy, and he indulged her in everything, trying to please her.
But in the end, when trouble arose, he suddenly realized how utterly wrong he had been!
Indulgence without limits was not always a good thing and might even harm the ones he loved!
Fang Youlan fearfully shrugged her shoulders, not daring to meet Lu Guangqi’s fierce gaze.
The beating she had received the day before really made her somewhat afraid of Lu Guangqi.
Lu Pengcheng watched the change between his father and mother with his own eyes, his heart heavy with a sigh.
At such a time, for his mother to still boldly voice her complaints, it was indeed time for his father to discipline her properly!
Otherwise, he couldn’t imagine what terrible things his mother might do in the future.
Lu Pengcheng didn’t want to stay a moment longer, fearing he might lose control and lash out at Fang Youlan.
"Then I’ll leave first!"
Lu Guangqi hastily asked, "Boss! What time are you coming over tomorrow?"
Tomorrow was New Year’s Eve, and Lu Shuhui would definitely need to go to her in-laws’ house with her husband.
This year, it had not been easy for both sons to come back home, and they had wanted to celebrate a reunion New Year, but a distressing incident had arisen midway.
Looking at his father’s gaunt appearance, Lu Pengcheng hesitated for a moment, ultimately unable to utter the words that he wouldn’t come.
"Around seven or eight o’clock! But Xiaozheng and the others definitely won’t be able to come!"
Shao Meirou had explained everything to him, including Lu Zheng’s intention at the time, which was to spend the New Year at his grandfather’s home with Lin Xia.
He could completely understand his son’s thoughts.
Now, seeing his mother so resentfully upset, he couldn’t bring himself to let Lu Zheng and Lin Xia come over.
Otherwise, who knows what this New Year would turn into!
"Okay! No problem! Tomorrow your brother and his family will come over! Just the few of us will celebrate the New Year!"
Lu Guangqi couldn’t hide his disappointment, but he also realized that he couldn’t fault his grandson since the real problem lay with what Fang Youlan had done.
After such an incident, no one could be so magnanimous and selfless as to sit down calmly at a dinner table for Chinese New Year’s Eve with someone who had nearly harmed their child.
Moreover, Fang Youlan probably didn’t even want them to appear and see her in such a disheveled state.
Fang Youlan indeed didn’t want more people to see her in disgrace, especially Lin Xia!
She felt that if Lin Xia saw her being hit, she would certainly take pleasure and laugh at her mishap.
But when she really confirmed that they were not coming, she couldn’t help but feel filled with resentment.
She was still stubbornly convinced that if Lu Zheng and Lin Xia had done their medical checkups earlier and discovered they were having twins, all that followed wouldn’t have happened...
Lu Zheng took people to Fang Youzhen’s home to create a portrait.
When Fang Youzhen heard from Lu Zheng that the package wasn’t "Fetal Exchange Medicine" but an abortion pill,
she angrily slapped her thigh, cursing, "It’s really a sin! These two people brought their scheming onto us!
Lu Zheng! Your third grandma truly had no idea! You see now that I was being manipulated, completely unguarded!
Who would think a woman who came to our home asking for water had been plotting this from the start..."
Fang Youzhen talked incessantly, hoping for Lu Zheng’s generous forgiveness.
Actually, she was both angry and terrified!
She was angry that the two people conned her, making her nearly an accomplice in harming Lu Zheng’s child.
She was terrified that, had the medicine not been found suspicious in time, if her daughter-in-law were to be pregnant with a girl and she wanted to give her the medicine, wouldn’t that make her an executioner?
Lu Zheng did not want to hear her excuses; he was quite cold, "Now is a critical time, there’s no need for that useless talk!
You quickly describe in detail to this officer the appearance of that woman and the one who sold the medicine!"
After the portrait was done, he had other matters to take care of. Who had the time to listen to her ranting?
If there hadn’t been a chance to gather some clues from her, Lu Zheng wouldn’t even bother interacting with her.
"Good! Good! I will rack my brains and remember well!" Fang Youzhen trembled, eager to make amends and dared not delay any further.
However, she had just spoken a few words to the officer making the portrait when she immediately asked Lu Zheng, "Your grandmother is fine, isn’t she?"
She was just helping purchase the medicine, while her sister was the one who personally brought it to Lu Zheng’s wife’s presence. Now realizing it was an abortion pill, she truly felt a bit worried about her sister’s situation.
Lu Zheng’s eyes darted sharply at her, "What do you think?"
Fang Youzhen was so frightened by his tone that she dared not ask any further, hurriedly continuing her description, "I think that woman didn’t look poor, not just her face but her hands were fair too..."
Later, Lu Zheng followed the directions provided by Fang Youzhen to find the place where the person selling the Fetal Exchange Medicine lived.
It was a modest bungalow with a big padlock on the gate.
It had snowed these past few days, but there was no accumulation of snow at the gateway, which seemed to have been swept by someone.
So, who swept the snow?
