MTL - The Whole World Wants Them To Get Divorced-Chapter 80

Lu Xi and Yuan Qiao were called into the study, Lu Wei wanted to follow him but didn't dare, she pouted and said in dissatisfaction, "Dad, what are you doing, this person surnamed Yuan is not the Lu family's own biological son? Daughter, what can I talk to her about?"

Tang Jie looked up at the second floor and asked her in a low voice, "Yuan Qiao why is she back?"

"How do I know." Lu Wei said: "I was hungry to find something to eat, and then I saw her and my sister sitting on the sofa alone staring. I thought it was Si Yu, who knew it was Yuan Qiao, a white-eyed wolf! I wanted to drive her out, and my sister called me a shrew. Humph!"

"I've been missing for ten years and there's no news, and suddenly I came back without saying hello. It's too strange." Tang Jie thought thoughtfully.

Lu Wei rolled her eyes and said, "This white-eyed wolf won't come back to grab the property with us!"

"What nonsense." Tang Jie slapped the back of her hand heavily, looked at her with the same eyes as she was mentally handicapped, and said angrily, "Yuan Qiao moved out of the Lu family when she was ten years old. Now, what qualifications does she have to rob you of property?"

Lu Wei rubbed the back of her hand and muttered: "She is not in the Lu family's household registration book, but who knows if my dad will give her a lot of paternal love. Even if my dad is hard-hearted, but What about grandma? Grandma loved Yuan Qiao the most since she was a child. She wanted to give her all her heart and soul. A year ago, she mistaken Si Yu for Yuan Qiao. This love is too deep. Then the white-eyed wolf will say something to grandma. Good words, if you shed a few more tears, grandma will definitely soften her heart."

Tang Jie was a little shaken by what she said, and looked at Madam Lu subconsciously.

Mrs. Lu didn't move since she entered the living room. She turned to look at Si Yu, who was standing behind her with a cramped expression. She looked at her for a long time as if she didn't know her. Said: "Are you really Si Yu?"

Si Yu wanted to laugh, failed to manage his expression, and nodded with difficulty.

Mrs. Lu's expression was a little complicated, she looked at her for a long time, sighed heavily, and said, "I'm so confused and my eyes are dim, I actually mistook you for Qiao Qiao."

“…Sorry.”

Mrs. Lu opened her mouth, looked at her slightly trembling eyelashes, and said, "You lied to me about your marriage with Xixi?"

Si Yu shook her head hurriedly and said, "It's true, I married her three years ago."

"Really?" Mrs. Lu's expression was blank for a while, she covered her head with one hand, and said slowly, "I can't remember at all."

Si Yu bit his lip, not knowing what to say for a while.

Old Mrs. Lu may also be a little awkward, she looked at her for a long time without saying anything, and finally said nothing, straightened her head, and looked up to the second floor.

Si Yu's eyes fell on the old man's gray hair, and there was a heat in his eyes.

When Mrs. Lu used to think of her as Yuan Qiao, their grandparents and grandchildren always had endless things to say. Now her fake identity has been revealed, and suddenly she has nothing to say.

Mrs. Lu didn't blame her or show her face, but she felt like a piece of her heart had been dug away, empty and painful.

She remembered something Lu Wei had said inappropriately. The original female partner had a disgusting personality. When she knew that the original female partner was going to marry Lu Xi, Mrs. Lu had strongly opposed it.

Now Mrs. Lu already knows that she is Si Yu, will she think of the past and hate her?

It's not surprising that she hates, after all, she's just a stand-in. Thinking of this, the corner of Si Yu's mouth pulled out a wry smile.

At this time, the nurse should make an appointment to give Mrs. Lu a massage. Si Yu allowed the nanny to push Mrs. Lu into the room and did not follow him.

The atmosphere in the study was a little dignified.

"When did you return to China?" Lu Zhennan asked Yuan Qiao bluntly.

Yuan Qiao seemed a little afraid of him, her pupils shrank, and said, "I got off the plane this morning."

Lu Zhennan looked serious: "Why didn't you tell me in advance when you came back?"

Yuan Qiao glanced at him timidly and said, "I'm afraid you won't agree."

Lu Zhennan: “…”

"I promised you would disappear forever, but I couldn't do it. I'm sorry." Yuan Qiao bowed to him ninety degrees, and his eyes were red when he straightened up.

Lu Zhennan glanced at Lu Xi quickly.

Lu Xi didn't understand why Lu Zhennan called him in, and it was even more inexplicable when he met his gaze. Recalling their conversation just now, Lu Xi always felt that there was something in the words.

Lu Zhennan guiltily looked away, rubbed his face, looked at Yuan Qiao's red eyes, and calmed down: "Did something happen? Is your mother okay?"

Yuan Qiao's shoulders twitched, two lines of clear tears fell with a "swoosh", and she covered her mouth and whimpered: "She is dead."

Lu Zhennan was stunned, the majesty on his face was gone, and he hurriedly asked, "When did it happen?"

"The day before yesterday." Yuan Qiao was already in tears, turned around, looked at Lu Xi who was sullen and said nothing, "I brought her ashes back."

“…”

The three of them stayed in the study for nearly an hour.

Lu Wei saw Lu Xi walking down the stairs first, and couldn't wait to rush over to ask what they were talking about. Out of the corner of the eye caught a glimpse of Lu Zhennan and Yuan Qiao who came down later, and swallowed the words again. .

"You're hungry, I have already prepared lunch." Tang Jie said with a decent smile.

Lu Zhennan gave a light "um" and said, "Let Auntie clean up the guest room."

Tang Jie looked at Yuan Qiao with red eyes, and said tentatively, "Is it for Qiao Qiao?"

Lu Zhennan nodded.

Tang Jie suppressed the shock and doubts in her heart, and said kindly, "Got it."

"She is not our family, why let her stay in the guest room?" Lu Wei said loudly.

Lu Zhennan glared at her.

Lu Wei was so frightened that she didn't dare to say a word, she hid behind Lu Xi and tugged at the hem of her clothes, trying to pull her to stand on a united front with herself.

Lu Xi didn't care about how Lu Zhennan arranged Yuan Qiao, he glanced around and asked, "Where's Si Yu?"

"I saw her go out an hour ago, so she should have left." Lu Wei said.

Gone?

Lu Xi was busy calling her, but she was connected very quickly. She breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Where are you?"

"Ah—the sun today is big and round." Si Yu said inexplicably.

"..." Lu Xi was not in the mood to listen to her rap, and patiently asked again: "Where?"

Si Yu let out a long sigh and said, "Swimming pool."

When Lu Xi found her, she saw her like a salted fish, lying upright on the lounge chair by the pool in a daze.

Although umbrellas are arranged in the rest area, this hot day is full of ultraviolet rays, the sun is dazzling, and even the air is hot.

Si Yu turned his attention away from the white clouds floating over his head, saw her, and said lazily, "If you don't come out, I'll be out of oil."

Lu Xi pulled her up, looked at the sweaty bangs on her forehead, and said, "I'm so afraid of heat, why don't you blow the air conditioner inside?"

Si Yu's lips moved, and he said in a loud voice: "I feel like a superfluous person, not worthy of being in it."

Lu Xi frowned: "You are my wife, how can you be an unnecessary person."

Si Yu's heart warmed, and then he thought of something else, the light in his eyes went out again, and said, "Yuan Qiao is back, grandma doesn't need me anymore."

Lu Xi guessed that she hid outside because of her grandmother and Yuan Qiao, raised her chin with her fingers, looked at her gray eyes, and said slowly, "Isn't that just right? From today From now on, you can be yourself."

Si Yu opened her mouth slightly, grabbed her wrist suddenly, and said, "You will comfort people."

Lu Xi smiled, scratched her chin like a cat, and asked, "Are you feeling any better now?"

Si Yu nodded, then shook his head again, and said, "Of course I'm very happy to be myself, but... I'm worried that my grandma will hate me. In the end, I lied to her, I don't know what to do face her."

"Grandma is not the kind of unreasonable person. You are so good to her, how could she hate you." Lu Xi patted her head and said, "She has good and bad brains, Maybe it just hasn't responded yet."

Si Yu blinked: "Really?"

"Really."

Seeing her serious appearance, Si Yu couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I know you're coaxing me, but I'm really in a better mood." Si Yu hugged her gratefully, and changed the conversation: "Are you finished talking?"

Lu Xi nodded.

"Why did Yuan Qiao come back at this time?"

Lu Xi's eyes darkened, and she said, "Her mother died."

Si Yu gave a soft "ah" and said clearly: "So that's how it is."

Lu Xi didn't really want to talk about this topic, so he looked up at the sky and said, "The sun is too big, let's go in."

"Hmm."

With Lu Xi holding her hand and entering with her, Si Yu felt much more at ease. When she was about to walk into the house, she reacted suddenly and looked at the person beside her who seemed to be worried: "Yuan Qiao's mother, isn't she your adoptive mother?"

A strange emotion flashed in Lu Xi's eyes, she lowered her eyes, and said "um" in a low mood.

"Then you..."

"Miss, Miss Si, I'm ready to eat." Si Yu was interrupted by the nanny before he finished speaking.

Si Yu looked at Lu Xi with a worried look.

Lu Xi returned to her usual calm and calm look, squeezed her palm, and said, "Eat first."

The process of eating this time was really painful and strange.

Before eating, Lu Zhennan briefly explained the death of Yuan Qiao's mother. As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent at the same time.

Mrs. Lu took Yuan Qiao's hand and sighed: "My poor child—"

Then the two began to cry again.

The others looked at each other.

Yuan Qiao's biological parents divorced shortly after she returned to Yuan's house. For so many years, she and Yuan's mother have depended on each other for life. After graduating from high school, Yuan Qiao took Yuan's mother to go abroad. There was no news for ten years, and no one knew where they went or what they were doing. Returning to her homeland again, she became an orphan.

Before going abroad, the Yuan family sold the house, Yuan Qiao can be said to be homeless. Madam Lu couldn't bear her to be left alone, and said, "This will be your home in the future, don't leave, be good."

Yuan Qiao glanced at the silent people at the dining table and hesitated: "Grandma, this is not appropriate."

"There is nothing inappropriate." Mrs. Lu said without retort: ​​"Whether your surname is Yuan or Lu, you are my granddaughter. They don't recognize you, I do."

Yuan Qiao's throat choked, and she forced a smile and said, "Thank you, grandma."

Lu Zhennan just let Yuan Qiao stay in the Lu family for a while, but Mrs. Lu was better. In one sentence, Yuan Qiao became the daughter of the Lu family again.

Lu Wei felt ten thousand dissatisfaction in her heart, but she was afraid of the majesty of Mrs. Lu and Lu Zhennan, she dared not speak out, she could only use chopsticks to poke the rice in the bowl into a honeycomb shape. venting anger.

Yuan's mother was said to have cancer and finally died. She was cremated abroad. Yuan Qiao brought the urn back from thousands of miles away. The most important thing now is to bury her mother.

Lu Zhennan has a very high reputation in City B and has a wide network of contacts. He helped Yuan's mother find a suitable cemetery after a phone call. The burial time should be sooner rather than later, and it will be tomorrow.

Yuan Qiao's sudden return caught everyone off guard, and Si Yu and Lu Xi's dating plan was also interrupted.

Even so, the once-a-day goodnight kiss remains the same.

Different from the deep lingering in the past, today's kiss is just a taste.

"Good night."

Lu Xi kissed her forehead, and when he was about to leave, Si Yu pulled her: "Isn't Yuan Qiao sleeping in the guest room?"

"There are several guest rooms." Lu Xi paused, teasing her deliberately, "Don't want me to go?"

Siyu nodded honestly.

Lu Xi was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the only big bed in the room intentionally or unintentionally, the corners of his lips were hooked, and he said with a half-smile, "You know, I'm not used to sleeping on the sofa."

"Then go to bed together."

Lu Xi stopped smiling, her eyes darkened, and her voice lowered: "Are you sure?"

Si Yu couldn't help but pull her inside, pressed her on the big bed, patted her slightly dull face with her weak and boneless hands, and said frivolously, "Little daughter-in-law, wait for me. I'll pamper you when I'm done with the cleanup / Fortunately for you~"

Lu Xi laughed dumbly.

Si Yu washed it for 20 minutes, and then she washed it. Lu Xi didn't wash for a long time either.

The night was getting darker.

The two who took a bath lay face to face on the big bed, looked at each other for a moment, and couldn't help kissing.

This time she stuck her head out.

Si Yu felt that she was a little absent-minded.

"Are you in a bad mood?"

Lu Xi gently touched her lips and said, "No."

Si Yu pushed her away a little, looked at her lowered eyes, and thoughtfully said, "Yuan Qiao's mother is your adoptive mother. She passed away. You should be sad, right?"

"..." Lu Xi's expression seemed to be restrained, he turned over, turned his back to her, and said in a dull voice, "No."

The same two answers have obviously different emotions.

Si Yu thought her reaction was strange. When his adoptive mother died, no one could be indifferent no matter how ruthless he was, right? But Lu Xi was only impatient and didn't want to mention it.

Lu Xi only looked cold on the surface, but he was actually a warm person on the inside. Why was he so indifferent to the death of his adoptive mother? Si Yu couldn't figure it out.

The novel doesn't mention Lu Xi's adoptive mother, Yuan Qiao, or even the fact that Lu Xi was wrongly held at birth, so Si Yu couldn't understand why Lu Xi reacted like this, But she felt that there must be many unknown secrets in it.

If it's a secret, it will be inconvenient for her to inquire.

Lu Xi stubbornly refused to admit it, but she knew that she was definitely not feeling well, and she noticed when she was eating that Lu Xi didn't take a few bites at all.

Because she realized she was unhappy, Si Yu kept her.

Regarding the death of her adoptive mother, whether Lu Xi was hiding her sadness or really indifferent, she felt that Lu Xi tonight needed someone to accompany her.

Lu Xi turned her back to her, her thin shoulders looked fragile and lonely, Si Yu was touched, hugged her from behind, dropped a kiss on the back of her neck, and said softly, "I'll turn off the lights already?"

"Hmm."

With a "pop", the room fell into darkness.

Lu Xi turned around, breathing lightly on her face, itchy.

The surroundings were pitch black, and Si Yu didn't close her eyes, but she could feel Lu Xi looking at her in the dark.

It's not the kind of eye-catching gaze, nor the kind of affectionate prying, as if a certain emotion is brewing.

I always feel that Lu Xi has something to say.

She held her breath and waited patiently.

After waiting for a few minutes, Lu Xi said quietly, "I was wrongly carried when I was born, and I have lived in the Yuan family for ten years."

This Siyu knows, Xiao B introduced her to her when she first passed. But she didn't interrupt.

Lu Xi should just want to talk, so she should be a listener.

Si Yu touched her hand, and his fingernails gently scratched her palm, motioning her to continue.

"In ten years, my dad's secretary found me and said that I was the eldest lady of the Lu family and wanted to take me back to the Lu family...I don't want to."

Lu Xi seemed to be caught in a memory, paused for a few seconds before continuing: "Then they sold me."

"Sold???" Si Yu gasped and couldn't help shouting: "Who is so wicked!"

"Who else could there be?" Lu Xi's tone suddenly became cold, "My adoptive parents, my parents who I used to love the most, they don't want me anymore for a huge sum of money."

“…” Si Yu was speechless in shock.

"I was sent to the Lu family."

"They kept saying that they would always love me and that I would always be their darling. But from the day they received the money, they disappeared."

"I thought they might be forced by the Lu family, so they dared not come to see me. I sneaked back that day and heard them excitedly say in the room: 'The Lu family is so Dafang is so rich, he would have ordered more if he had known.”

“…I turned and ran.”

Si Yu gritted his teeth.

"They should know I went back because I didn't close the door when I ran out."

"I took a taxi back to Lu's house, and they didn't scold me. On the contrary, they all treated me well, including Lu Wei's mother. Everyone followed me and coaxed me, I'm afraid I'm not happy. But I know that they just want to make up for me in this way because they owe me something in their hearts."

"But that's not love."

Si Yu waited for a long time and realized that she had finished speaking.

Although Lu Xi's tone sounded almost the same as usual, Si Yu felt very uncomfortable, angry, irritable, and a deep sense of powerlessness squeezed her, she angrily thumped He beat the surface of the bed and gritted his teeth and said, "They are so hateful!"

Even if there is no blood relationship, after 10 years of raising, you still have feelings, how can you "sell" your daughter for a little money? ? ?

She couldn't imagine how shattered Lu Xi, a ten-year-old ignorant of the world, was when she heard that she was "sold" by her adoptive parents. Are you crying?

If it were her, she would cry to death.

A ten-year-old girl, innocent and romantic, thinks she has a happy family, her parents love her, her family is harmonious and beautiful. Suddenly one day, she found out that it was all an illusion, her parents were fake, the so-called love was also fake, a cheque/check, or a bank/bank/card, lightly shattered her sweet dreams.

How cruel.

It's not that she is indifferent, it's that the family is too ruthless.

Si Yu couldn't bear to listen anymore, hugged her tightly with one hand, and touched her face with the other.

Lu Xi grabbed her groping hand and said helplessly, "Don't touch it, I didn't cry."

“…”

"I won't cry after ten years old." Lu Xi said lightly, "It's not worth it."

Si Yu is not a crybaby either, but hearing this is inexplicably distressing. She lost her parents since she was a child, but her grandmother loved her very much. She couldn't understand why there were such cold-blooded parents, she couldn't empathize with her, she didn't know how to comfort her, she could only hold her face and kiss her indiscriminately.

Lu Xi was laughed at by her puppy licking her fur, she covered her mouth with her hand, heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "What I have kept in my heart for more than ten years is comfortable to say. too much."

Hearing this, Si Yu's heart was tense and the string relaxed.

A person needs someone to accompany her most when she is helpless, just like she is during the day.

"Sleep."

"Hmm."

It was the first time that I slept with each other, without passion or desire, but just wanted to give each other a safe haven to rely on.

They are like lost lambs finding their way home, hugging each other and drawing warmth.

In the silent corridor, a slender figure disappeared in the darkness, his eyes stared straight at the closed door, and the hand holding the doorknob trembled slightly.

It is absolutely wonderful to see the person you like when you open your eyes - Si Yu thought so.

However, when she woke up, she found that Lu Xi was no longer by her side.

The sheets are still warm, but people don't know where they are.

She got up to wash and change clothes, entered the cloakroom, and happened to meet Lu Xi who had changed clothes.

"Are you going to work?" Si Yu looked at her in black clothes and black pants, and asked ignorantly.

Lu Xi shook her head and said, "She will be buried today."

No name was given, but Si Yu understood immediately.

Although she was only an adoptive mother, although she "sold" Lu Xi to her, as an adopted daughter, Lu Xi still gave her the last ride with due diligence.

She knew that Lu Xi was not an indifferent person.

It's just more distressing.

"I'll accompany you."

Lu Xi looked at her deeply, opened her thin lips lightly, held her hand, and said, "Okay."

Si Yu didn't know whether the Yuan family had no relatives or Yuan Qiao didn't inform him. She and Lu Xi, Lu Zhennan and Tang Jie were the only ones who came to the funeral.

Lu Xi was expressionless the whole time, as if he was attending a stranger's funeral.

Si Yu was worried about Yuan's "selling" Lu Xi, but after all, the deceased was a big one, and no matter how much dissatisfaction he felt, he didn't show it. Put the urn in.

"Mom!" Just when the staff was about to seal the stone tablet, Yuan Qiao rushed up like crazy, and the stone almost hit her hand.

The staff understands her grief and wants to cover her up after she finishes crying. Unexpectedly, Yuan Qiao cried more and more fiercely.

The staff did not dare to be **** Yuan Qiao, and said to Lu Xi and Si Yu, who were closest, "Hold her down."

The two looked at each other and forcibly dragged Yuan Qiao aside.

Tang Jie came to comfort her.

Si Yu saw that her face was swollen from crying, and wanted to comfort her a few words. Before he could speak, Yuan Qiao turned around and threw herself into Lu Xi's arms, crying bitterly.

Si Yu widened his eyes.

Although I understand that you just died, Mom is very sad.

But! !

This is my wife, who allows you to hold so tightly? ? ?
