Mr. Lu, don't be arrogant.

Grandma Chu turned her head to look at Lu Linfeng's face. Seeing the familiar look between his eyebrows, she nodded first, then shook her head.

"Maybe, I'm not sure. Half a year after the child was born, Dingxiang took me and the child to Jiangcheng quietly, to a place called Lu's."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Linfeng trembled again.

Fortunately, Mu Wanying has always been with him and comforting him.

Grandma Chu had nothing to hide. "That day we gave the child to the master of the Lu family. In order to keep us quiet, the master of the Lu family gave us some money."

"She gave birth to me just for money, didn't she?"

Lu Linfeng asked with tears in his eyes.

He asked Grandma Chu, "Since she chose to give birth to me, why did she abandon me to the Lu family? Why didn't she keep me with her? Or did she give birth to me just for money? I'm just a tool to exchange money?"

"No! It's not!"

Grandma Chu quickly shook her head.

She explained to Lu Linfeng, "It's not what you think. Hongyun said that getting pregnant with you was indeed an accident. Giving birth to you secretly and giving you to the Lu family was selfish of her, but it's not like she never considered you.

She said that if she kept you by her side, she would suffer, and you would suffer too, and it would be a suffering that would last a lifetime; if she sent you back to the Lu family, you would still suffer, but the suffering would be different.

You will never have to endure the suffering she once endured, you will never be trampled underfoot, and you will never have to kneel down like a dog and beg for food in front of others for three meals a day. "

Grandma Chu was a little excited.

She grabbed Lu Linfeng's wrist and said, "Child, listen to grandma. Your mother loves you! She loves you! She is sorry for you, but she definitely loves you!

She said that sending you back to the Lu family was the best way out she could think of for you. What she couldn't give you, the Lu family could give you! Because your last name is Lu, because you have the Lu family's blood flowing in your veins!"

"That's just nonsense she tells herself to comfort herself! If she really loves me, why didn't she ever look for me? If she really loves me, why didn't she ever look at me when I was being abused and bullied?

"Twenty-five years. Does she know how I've managed to get through these twenty-five years? How many injuries have I suffered? How much pain have I endured? Has she ever asked? Has she ever cared? After she took the money, did she still think of me?"

Lu Linfeng stood up, pounding his chest and laughing coldly, "No? She never thought about me, did she? If I wasn't the Lu family's child, if I couldn't exchange for money, would she still give birth to me? No! She wouldn't! She planned everything since she got pregnant with me! I'm just a tool!"

"child……"

Grandma Chu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Mu Wanying's eyes.

Mu Wanying then stood up, put her arms around Lu Linfeng, and held him in her arms.

One of her small hands gently patted Lu Linfeng's back, and the other hand gently stroked Lu Linfeng's head. She didn't say a word or a single extra word, but used silent words to comfort the man in her arms.

She waited until Lu Linfeng's emotions finally stabilized and he was no longer so excited or indignant before asking Grandma Chu.

"What happened next? Grandma, forgive me for being so presumptuous, but if my guess is correct, Axia should also be Hongyun's child, right? She...she is Lin Feng's half-sister, right?"

Mu Wanying dared to say this not just because of a few self-righteous glances.

Firstly, if you look closely, there are indeed many similarities between Lu Linfeng and Axia.

Secondly, she had never seen any photo or belongings of the mistress in the Chu family during the time when the family was in trouble. Even when she asked Axia, Axia could not tell her who her mother was.

Combined with some other signs, Mu Wanying made this guess.

Lu Linfeng also thought of it.

But when Mu Wanying really asked him about this, he was still a little shocked.

As for Grandma Chu, she had no way to hide it and could only answer honestly, "Yes, she was born by Hong Yunsheng. She is Xiao Lu's biological sister."

"Then she is..."

Mu Wanying didn't dare to ask further.

Grandma Chu didn't want to hide it anymore.

Especially when her granddaughter is growing up and her old bones can't help at all, it would be good to let her granddaughter's brother know that there is such a sister in the world.

Just like Hongyun made a living for the child in front of him back then.

She also wanted to find a way out for her granddaughter, a way where she would no longer be blind.

Thinking of this, Grandma Chu sighed again, "She didn't do it voluntarily. She got pregnant by my useless son after he got drunk and raped her."

Lu Linfeng closed his eyes, his heart in a mess.

Mu Wanying couldn't bear to listen any further.

As a girl and a woman, she really didn't know what kind of courage Chu Hongyun must have had to face all these changes back then.

I just feel helpless and sad.

Grandma Chu sighed again, "I said, Hongyun is a very good child. After sending Xiao Lu away, she used the money to make plans for us all.

She went back to school and paid for Axia's father's education. She also arranged for me to study further and taught me a few words so that I could make a living in the city.

But my son is such a loser! He can't concentrate on reading a single book, and he keeps getting into trouble. After one incident, Hongyun scolded him, and he started drinking to keep quiet, and then..."

Grandma Chu could no longer say the following words.

Mu Wanying and Lu Linfeng didn't have the courage to listen any further.

The room fell silent.

After a long silence, Grandma Chu finally picked up the old conversation.

"Hongyun's body was no longer able to have an abortion, so she was forced to give birth to Axia. However, her feelings for us and this family were completely gone with Axia's birth.

On the day of Axia's full moon, she burned all her belongings and photos, then left when we weren't paying attention and never came back. Now I don't know whether she is alive or dead!

"You haven't looked for it?" Mu Wanying asked.

Grandma Chu shook her head. "We've looked for her. Ah Xia's father searched Jiangcheng, our hometown, and every place Hong Yun had been, but he couldn't find any trace of her. It was as if the child had disappeared from the face of the earth. There's no news of her since. I know she blames us, she resents us, she doesn't want to care about us anymore. Even the child she carried for ten months..."

Grandma Chu choked up and ultimately didn't have the courage to continue.

Mu Wanying and Lu Linfeng did not stay overnight at the Chu family.

After listening to the old lady's story, they set out for Jiangcheng overnight, and they didn't even touch the fish that Uncle Chu caught.

The two people sat in the car, feeling extremely heavy-hearted.

Didn't say a word the whole way.

Until they returned to Jiangcheng, back to their warm little home, their little nest in Furongyuan.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, they lay on the soft and comfortable big bed hugging each other. Mu Wanying, who had just finished chatting with her mother, grabbed the man's sleeve and whispered, "Lin Feng, if I were her..."
