Mr. Lu, don't be arrogant.

Chapter 127 Bastard

A meaningful speech floated in the air.

Mu Wanying and Lu Linfeng stood in the cold wind, staring at the old man's back, until the old man's back completely disappeared, then they moved into the house and went straight to Zhou Ninghui's bedroom.

The door is closed.

Lu Linfeng knocked on the door for a long time but received no response.

It was only after Mu Wanying asked the nanny at home that she confirmed that the person was in the room, and she said that he had not come out for a long time.

They didn't dare knock on the door easily.

Lu Linfeng's heart tightened when he heard this, and he continued to raise his hand to knock on the door, calling "Mom" as he knocked. After persisting for more than ten minutes, the door was finally opened from the inside with a creaky sound.

"What's the matter? I'm not dead."

Zhou Ninghui stood at the door, her pale face expressionless, looking at Lu Linfeng and Mu Wanying at the door with an unusually cold look.

Perhaps because she had been lying down, Zhou Ninghui did not wash or change her clothes today, but she did not look sloppy or unkempt.

She was tidy and clean.

Just no energy.

As if his soul had been sucked out, he stood at his door with empty eyes. His tone was the same as usual, without any emotion, but he also did not harbor the strong resentment like Lu Heng.

It looks like a walking corpse.

Mu Wanying felt heartbroken when she saw this.

She knew that the woman in front of her, her nominal mother-in-law, was also a flower in Jiangcheng when she was in her prime, and was once the girl pursued by many celebrities and wealthy young men.

At that time, this girl had her own place to shine.

But now, this flower, this girl has wasted everything she had and consumed her entire life in the long river of time.

"mom……"

Mu Wanying choked up and suddenly didn't know what to say.

Lu Linfeng had already strode forward, and before Zhou Ninghui could dodge, he reached out and hugged Zhou Ninghui, holding her and apologizing guiltily.

"Mom! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm the one who let you down!"

"Lu Lin..."

Zhou Ninghui seemed not used to Lu Linfeng's embrace.

When Lu Linfeng hugged her tightly, her hands seemed very uneasy. Sometimes they were gently lifted up, sometimes they were slowly moved down, always hovering in the air, and she really didn't know where to put them.

But he didn't push Lu Linfeng away.

He couldn't even call out Lu Linfeng's full name.

She froze there, dazed and at a loss. When Lu Linfeng hugged her and said sorry to her again, she looked at Mu Wanying beside her for help.

Mu Wanying did not pull Lu Linfeng away from her as she expected, but gently persuaded her.

"Mom, although I don't think Lin Feng should say sorry, I support him if he wants to. Mom, life is for yourself, not for others.

Although I guess you probably have some unavoidable hardship that forced you to do this, but no matter what hardship you have, can it be more important than your own lifelong happiness?"

"I……"

"Please forgive me for saying something so disrespectful. Instead of wasting your life in vain, instead of trapping yourself in pain and torture, why not let it go completely, look up and move forward. Live a real life for yourself and for the people you truly love!"

Mu Wanying didn't say anything, but suddenly said these words.

After saying that, she took two steps back and stood outside the house against the wall, leaving space for her husband and mother-in-law.

At this time, Lu Linfeng was still hugging Zhou Ninghui tightly, and still saying sorry words in her ear. Every word he said was the voice in his heart.

As Zhou Ninghui listened, her lifeless eyes gradually showed some light and shadow, and her dry eyes gradually became moist. Her hands, which had nowhere to put, slowly placed themselves on Lu Linfeng's back.

"Lu Linfeng..."

Zhou Ninghui tried to speak.

But after all, if you remain silent for too long, your ability to speak will decline.

Zhou Ninghui fell silent again after she shouted this.

She took several breaths and took a long time to calm down before speaking again, gently patting Lu Linfeng on the back.

"Lin Feng, I don't blame you. You are not to blame for what happened. You don't need to apologize to me. It's me... I can't control my temper, I..."

As she spoke, tears welled up in Zhou Ninghui's eyes.

But she did not allow them to roll down, but forced them back one by one. When she was about to say something else, her eyes suddenly went dark and she almost fell to the ground.

Lu Linfeng sensed it and quickly pulled her out of his arms, checking her nervously, "Mom, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

As he spoke, he reached out his big hand to Zhou Ninghui's forehead and discovered that Zhou Ninghui had a fever.

high fever!

He was about to carry Zhou Ninghui to the hospital, but was stopped by Zhou Ninghui.

"Mom, you're sick! You need treatment!"

Lu Linfeng reminded her.

Zhou Ninghui smiled faintly, "I knew it a long time ago. It's not the first time. I have medicine in my room. No need to go to the hospital or toss around."

She said it lightly, not taking it seriously at all.

He doesn't even seem to take his own life seriously.

"But……"

"Okay, go back to the house. I'll take some medicine and get some sleep."

Zhou Ninghui said as she pushed Lu Linfeng out of the house.

Lu Linfeng didn't agree with her.

He shouted to Mu Wanying outside the room, "Wanying, call Dr. Xu and ask him to come over," then picked up Zhou Ninghui and strode into Zhou Ninghui's room.

Step by step, firm and steady.

He seemed no different from her biological son Lu Chengfeng.

Zhou Ninghui saw it all and felt regret in her heart. The tears that she had forced back in her eyes reappeared in her eyes, and she suddenly thought of Lu Yunfeng from two days ago.

They were having dinner at that time. She and Lu Yunfeng inexplicably received a handful of photos related to Lu Yunfeng. There were two big words behind each photo: Bastard.

The moment she saw it, she was reminded of the dark days in the past.

Lu Yunfeng in front of her was slowly falling apart. He knelt in front of her, clutching the photos that had inexplicably appeared in the Lu family and in their hands, and asked her while holding her hand and trembling.

"Mom, this isn't true? Right? This isn't true? I'm your biological child, right? I don't have any relationship with anyone else, I'm not a bastard! I'm your child! I'm yours and dad's, right?"

He called out to his mother again and again and asked questions one by one.

I looked at her with desperate and panic eyes, begging her crying, hoping that she would say, "Yes, you are my child, you are not a illegitimate child, don't listen to their nonsense."

but……

She didn't say that, and she didn't do that.

She pulled her hands away coldly, and looked at the big boy kneeling on the ground with equally cold eyes, venting all the resentment in her heart.

"You've seen it all, and you're still asking me why? Lu Yunfeng, listen carefully: you're a bastard! You're the child of your father and that bitch out there! You're not my biological child! You and I have nothing to do with each other!

Since someone has gone to great lengths to send the photos to the Lu family and into your hands, please stop bothering me. I feel sick just seeing you!"

She thought that by saying these words she would feel happy and comfortable, and that she could get revenge for all the pain that had been suppressed in her heart for decades.

But the reality is quite the opposite.

When Lu Yunfeng stumbled out of the house in the snow, she didn't feel any pleasure of revenge. Instead, she felt just like she did back then, when she pushed him into the fire and nearly killed him...

Regret, fear, and entanglement...

"Lin Feng, don't you hate me? I treated you like that before, beating you over and over again, and even nearly killing you. Don't you hate me at all?"

Zhou Ninghui asked Lu Linfeng who was holding her 'son'.

Lu Linfeng didn't say anything. He carried Zhou Ninghui to the bed, covered her with a blanket, and brought some hot water, pouring it into Zhou Ninghui's hands. "Mom, Wanying said we should look up and look forward!"

"Look up and forward..."

Zhou Ninghui pondered this sentence over and over again.

After Dr. Xu gave her an injection and prescribed some medicine, she was still mumbling these words in her head. As she was talking, she fell asleep under the influence of the medicine.

Lu Linfeng helped her tuck in the quilt, took Mu Wanying's hand, and tiptoed out quietly.

During this period, apart from asking Mu Wanying to help call Dr. Xu, he was reluctant to let Mu Wanying do anything else, such as serving tea, pouring water, or anything else.

When Mu Wanying asked him, he told her, "I owe her. She raised me, and it's my job to repay her with filial piety. You don't owe her anything, so there's no need to be filial to her for me."

"fool!"

Mu Wanying said softly, held his big hand in hers, and went back to the empty restaurant with him. She washed her hands and prepared to eat.

Secretary Wang called Mu Wanying's cell phone.

Mu Wanying had just answered the phone when she heard Secretary Wang anxiously ask, "Ms. Mu, has Mr. Lu contacted you?"

"no, what happened?"

"I haven't been able to contact him for two days. I've looked for him in every place he could have been, but I can't find him. Miss Mu, could you please..."
