Chapter 481: Chapter 481: Regret for Marrying into the Lu Family
Lan Yuyi’s face changed immediately. Hadn’t he always been oblivious to such trivial matters in the past?
He wouldn’t even notice when she put on makeup!
Today, just because she had used a shade lighter of foundation for her acting, he had actually noticed?!
In her meek and fragile tone, she asked, “Lingche, do you think I don’t look good today? Actually, I used foundation to improve my complexion, but it seems to have backfired. Don’t worry, I will stop wearing makeup from now on, alright?”
“Really? I thought you used foundation to conceal your good complexion.”
Lan Yuyi’s voice became laced with more grievance. “How can you think of me like this? Why would I want to hide a good complexion? Are you implying that I am faking it? Please don’t think so badly of me. It hurts me when you do.”
Seeing her distress, Madam Lu immediately scolded, “Lingche, can’t you speak politely? Yuyi just woke up, and here you are, upsetting her. Do you want her to faint again?”
“No.”
Lu Lingche withdrew his gaze. “Yuyi, you should rest well. I will leave now.”
After he finished speaking, he turned and left.
Even as Madam Lu called after him, he acted as if he hadn’t heard a thing, and shut the ward door behind him.
Madam Lu was quite furious. When she saw Lan Yuyi had already begun to weep from being wronged, she quickly held her hand and comforted her, “Yuyi, don’t take his words to heart. He always spews hurtful words. Don’t cry, I will scold him for you later.”
As Lan Yuyi sobbed, she said, “Aunt Yao, I’m fine. Please don’t scold him anymore. He probably didn’t mean it.”
“Oh, you. You’re always defending others. You’re in tears but still asking me not to scold him.”
Madam Lu shook her head, glancing at her face, said, “But next time, you really can’t use this kind of foundation. Cosmetics can harm a fetus. You should be cautious about these things.”
Lan Yuyi’s heart lurched, realizing that Madam Lu too had noticed something wrong with her foundation.
She quickly said, “Alright Aunt Yao, I promise I won’t wear makeup anymore. Please don’t worry.”
Just then, Wen Bilan woke up.
Lan Yuyi wore a shocked yet thrilled expression, “Mom, you’re awake!”
Wen Bilan appeared somewhat confused, but the moment she saw her husband, Lan Ruikang, tears immediately welled up in her eyes, “Ruikang, why are you here? Didn’t you abandon me and our daughter?”
Lan Ruikang was quite unhappy about her suicide attempt but due to Madam Lu’s presence, he refrained from saying more, and only spoke with a hint of annoyance, “When did I abandon you two? You’re always overthinking things.”
“Didn’t you promise to stay with that mistress of yours and her son? You even said you’d leave the hospital to him.”
“I–”
Madam Lu suddenly interjected, “Director Lan, you’re planning to leave the hospital to your illegitimate child?”
“I was just discussing with Yuyi. After all, once she marries into the Lu Family, they won’t lack a hospital. I thought it would be good to let that child have it.”
“That won’t do.”
Madam Lu said decisively, “The main reason your father-in-law left you the majority shares of the hospital was due to the pressure from our Lu Family. We helped you out of respect for Yuyi.”
“Now, not only do you have an illegitimate child, you’re planning to take Yuyi’s hospital from her?”
“Director Lan, you calculate your moves very well. Did you ask me if I agreed?”
“You think my daughter-in-law should suffer and your bastard son should inherit a hospital? Do you even regard the Lu family?”
Lan Ruikang turned green at her words.
For the first time, he regretted having his daughter marry into the Lu Family.
Now with such a strong support, even his basic rights to speak were gone!
Moreover, this was clearly a matter for the Lan Family, but Madam Lu just had to interfere. It was truly annoying.
