Chapter 482: Chapter 482: The Exploited Madam Lu
But Madam Lu had the backing of the Lu family, of Lu Mingzhen. Should she really be displeased, with a word from Lu Mingzhen, he would have to relinquish the shares he had painstakingly acquired, and his position as Director would be passed on to his younger brothers.
Seeing him fall silent, Madam Lu was quite pleased. She enjoyed this feeling of controlling everything.
Seeing Wen Bilan still pathetically crying, she spoke decisively, “Mrs. Lan, I have already spoken with Director Lan, he will no longer go to see that mistress and illegitimate child, you mustn’t take any drastic actions anymore, lest you scare Yuyi and the child in her womb, understand?”
Wen Bilan seemed unable to believe it, “Is, is this true? Ruikang, will you really cut ties with them?”
Lan Ruikang didn’t say a word, his face grim. Cut ties? He can’t do that!
That was his son!
The son he had been hoping for thirty years!
Seeing him silent, Madam Lu scoffed, “Just now Director Lan made promises, it couldn’t have taken you this long to forget?”
Lan Ruikang clenched his fist and gritted his teeth, “I haven’t forgotten, I won’t see them.”
Madam Lu looked at Wen Bilan, “Did you hear that? He said he won’t see them anymore, besides, I will make sure that mistress and illegitimate child are sent far away, this matter is put to an end, do you understand?”
Wen Bilan was stunned, “Ruikang, have you really agreed to send them away? If you can do this, I will forgive you this once. From now on, let’s live a good life.”
Lan Ruikang angrily stood up from the sofa, “Madam Lu, you can’t send them away! The child is only one year old, and my student is too naive, she knows nothing, doesn’t understand the cruelty of society. You sending them to a place where they know nobody, isn’t this the same as sending them to their deaths?”
Madam Lu responded with heavy sarcasm, “She’s naive? She knows nothing? Then how did she know to seduce an old man like you? How did she know to have your child and keep you by her side?”
“She didn’t seduce me, I was drunk and took advantage of her, the child was an accident, she didn’t want it, it was me who wanted her to have it, all of this doesn’t involve her at all! Don’t misdirect your anger at her!”
Hearing him defending that mistress, Wen Bilan felt like she was about to pass out from anger.
She cried, “Madam Lu, listen to this, he is shouldering all the blame, afraid that we would blame his lover, he is beyond help.”
Hearing Lan Ruikang defending the mistress, even Madam Lu felt annoyed, “Lan Ruikang, if you still want to keep your family and your hospital, follow my arrangement. That mother and son must leave, there is no room for negotiation!”
Lan Ruikang had seen Madam Lu’s assertiveness and knew there was no hope in arguing with her.
He could only turn to his wife for help, “Bilan, help say something!”
Wen Bilan found it ridiculous, “Help you with what? You are about to abandon me and our daughter, yet you want me to help you?”
Lan Ruikang implored, “In that case, I promise to leave the hospital to Yuyi in the future. Forgive me for my previous foolishness. Yuyi is our precious daughter, I cherish her most, everything will be left to her.”
“Anything else?”
“Also, I promise to live a good life with you in the future, I will not go find them, mother and son, again.”
“What about secretly giving them money?”
“No more, you will handle the family’s money, Yuyi will manage the hospital’s funds, and I will come home every day.”
Wen Bilan was satisfied.
She glanced at Madam Lu and spoke a bit pleadingly, “Madam Lu, perhaps we should not send that mother and son away. They are helpless and alone and would struggle to survive in a strange place. Let’s just let them stay here.”
