Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 770 - 765: Unable to Accept It

After confirming that Zhuzhu wasn’t seriously injured, Fang Pingying asked Luo Cuilan to comfort the scared child. She quickly took out her phone from her bag, first calling the police to report Xu He’s license plate number, and then notifying Luo Zhiyong and the others to see if the unit could help. Xu Huhua running away like this was no longer a family issue but rather a fugitive case.

It’s safe to say that even if Xu He managed to escape, her days ahead wouldn’t be easy. Besides, with both the law and the underworld looking for her, she wouldn’t get very far with her capabilities.

The urgent matter was to send Zhuzhu to the hospital as soon as possible. After all, he was injured, and regardless of how minor the wound, there was always a risk of infection.

She took out a clean handkerchief to tend to Zhuzhu’s neck wound, and then said to Luo Cuilan, "How about you take Zhuzhu to the hospital, and I’ll stay here to wait for the police. I’ll go back with them to give a statement and explain the day’s events."

Luo Cuilan thought the child wasn’t that fragile, so she casually treated the wound and said, "It’s no big deal, it’s not bleeding anymore. We’ll just apply some hemostatic powder and bandage it up when we get back. Besides, when the police come, I need to go with them to speak about how Xu He poisoned my Zhuzhu."

Fang Pingying thought about it and agreed. Since Zhuzhu’s neck was not in any serious condition and the hospital was quite a distance away—and given that she had already called the police, who would arrive soon—she and Luo Cuilan took Zhuzhu to a nearby pharmacy to do some basic bandaging.

Just as they finished bandaging Zhuzhu and returned to where Xu He was last seen, the police arrived, along with Luo Zhiyong and the others.

The police took Fang Pingying and the others back to the station. After getting all the details, they classified Xu He as a fugitive, launching a city-wide search. Xu He likely wouldn’t get far.

In any case, by this point, everyone involved, including Fang Pingying, had done all they could. All they could do now was wait for Xu He to be captured.

However, it took them until the afternoon to sort out these small matters at the police station.

Once afternoon came and everyone returned to Fang Pingying’s villa, she asked the housemaid to take the children downstairs. Then, she began to ask Luo Cuilan, "Cuilan, can we talk about what Xu He mentioned now?"

"I..." Mentioning the matter made Luo Cuilan a bit uneasy. She wasn’t sure if she should bring it up, so she hesitated, "I can’t quite recount everything accurately. Actually, I only heard bits and pieces from my mom. I’m afraid only my dad knows the complete story of what transpired."

After speaking, she quickly turned to Luo Zhiyong and said, "Brother, I didn’t mean to keep from you the fact that you’re not my biological brother, I just..."

Luo Zhiyong was completely unaware of these matters beforehand. Hearing Luo Cuilan mention this, he frowned deeply, interrupting her, and asked in bewilderment, "Wait, what are you talking about, what’s this about me not being your biological brother? If I’m not, then who am I?"

"Luo Zhiyong, are you truly unaware of this?" Fang Pingying asked again, concerned after Xu He’s earlier attempts to sow discord, unsure if Luo Zhiyong really knew.

Luo Zhiyong, witnessing them talking in riddles, grew anxious and repeatedly asked, "What on earth are you talking about? I truly have no idea."

Seeing that Luo Zhiyong was indeed unaware of the situation, Fang Pingying felt slightly relieved. Honestly, she was curious about Luo Zhiyong’s background, but not overly concerned.

After all, regardless of the circumstances, this man was her husband. It didn’t matter to her whether he came from wealth or poverty or who his biological parents were.

Her greatest fear was whether, after all they had been through, Luo Zhiyong was hiding something significant from her. If he was, she doubted she could handle it.

Now, since Luo Zhiyong was in the dark, and Luo Cuilan said she was unclear, Fang Pingying made a quick decision, "I’ll have Hui Zi bring your father over to hear his explanation."

Luo Cuilan agreed immediately, "Okay."

Once Hui Zi left to fetch him, Luo Zhiyong, still clueless about the matter, eagerly grabbed Luo Cuilan, asking, "What on earth is going on?"

At this point, Luo Cuilan no longer dared to keep it a secret and revealed all she knew.

After hearing everything, Luo Zhiyong became extremely emotional. He couldn’t believe his identity could be so convoluted. He cried out passionately, "Who made up this story? How could such an absurd thing happen? I’ve been with the Luo Family for so many years, and now they say I’m not a Luo Family child? Ridiculous!" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Fang Pingying understood Luo Zhiyong. To him, the thought of being an illegitimate child and abandoned by his biological mother was unbearable. More importantly, the woman who had been his mother all along was not his birth mother.

She tried to calm him, "Zhiyong, take it easy. No one is saying you’re not a child of the Luo Family. They’re just saying you might not be Zhou Yunmei’s child. In fact, you’re still your father’s child, part of the Luo Family."

Even this, Luo Zhiyong couldn’t accept. He paced back and forth in the room, "No, impossible. My dad is such an honest man; he couldn’t have done something like this. It just couldn’t be."

Seeing this, Fang Pingying said, "Let’s not rush. Let’s wait to hear what your dad has to say, alright?"

Although she was comforting Luo Zhiyong, she formed her own thoughts.

Luo Zhiyong, faced with the sudden revelation about his origins, seemed unable to cope, overlooking many details. But Fang Pingying wouldn’t ignore them.

Fang Pingying carefully recalled Zhou Yunmei’s attitude toward Luo Zhiyong since their marriage.

At home, perhaps because Luo Zhiyong contributed to the Luo Family’s income, Zhou Yunmei was decently fair to him, though she favored Zhiming slightly.

However, since moving to the city, it became clear that Zhou Yunmei’s heart always leaned towards Zhiming. No matter Zhiming’s uselessness or Zhiyong’s achievements, Zhiming was the one she continually favored and protected.

Before, Fang Pingying couldn’t understand why Zhou Yunmei acted this way. Even for a biased parent, such extreme favoritism was puzzling. But now, knowing Luo Zhiyong wasn’t Zhou Yunmei’s child explained everything.

Moreover, just recently, regarding Haohao’s situation, Zhou Yunmei had been claiming she only had one grandson. At the time, her words puzzled Fang Pingying, but now they didn’t seem odd at all.
