oyao nodded affirmatively, "Really!"Seeing her so insistent, Lu Hanchuan had no choice but to believe her words and not force the issue. He walked to the bench she had just been sitting on and sat dow...This time, he wasn't like just now, only striking with one whip.
The sound of lashes snapping kept ringing out in the study.
Fu Bo, who was guarding outside the door, heard this and his heart pounded in his chest. "Could it be that the master wants to kill the young master"
Three years ago, the old master, because of that incident, though he also beat the young master, only beat him a few times.
Now it's more than just a few lashes.
He may not know the exact number, but he reckoned it was at least a dozen lashes.
"Lu Hanchuan, are you still refusing to speak" Finally, the old man grew tired and stopped his whip with labored breaths. He looked at the person lying on the ground with unspeakable pain.
The people on the ground at this time could not be described simply as pitiful.
His clothes were torn to shreds, his entire back covered in blood.
Because of the pain, his body trembled slightly, his eyes tightly closed. His hair was almost soaked with sweat, and his face was as pale as death, looking like a corpse.
Looking at his grandson beaten like this, the old man's heart ached too. "Lu Hanchuan, you won't tell, will you Fine, then let this old man speak!"
The old man dropped his whip, leaning heavily on his cane as he shuffled back to his chair and sat down. "I've lived a long life and I've never done anything truly wrong," he said. "But I never expected that my grandson would disappoint me so much. Lu Hanchuan, I ask you, do you hate me, your grandfather Do you hate me for forcing you to marry Xiao Yao"
Lu Hanchuan didn't pass out. He struggled to open one eyelid and looked at the old man, his voice weak and hoarse, "No..."
"No" the old man sneered. "I don't think so. If you didn't hate her, why wouldn't you live with Xiao Yao after three years of marriage No wonder you haven't had any children in these three years. Your relationship clearly hasn't even involved sleeping together. If it weren't for Xiao Song telling me, I wouldn't have known!"
As a grandfather, he naturally wouldn't interfere in the lives of his grandson and daughter-in-law, so he had never paid attention to them.
So he didn't know that the two of them had been lying to him all along!
To swindle someone for three years straight! What an incredible feat!
"I'm sorry, Grandfather..." Lu Hanchuan had already made it clear to himself and Fu Xiaoyao, the old man knew everything, he couldn't explain anything, he could only apologize.
The old man pounded his chest in anguish, "You shouldn't be saying sorry to me. You should be saying sorry to little Yao. I know you hate that I made you marry her, but you don't take your anger out on me, an old man. So you vent it all on her, refusing to share a bed with her. You really are..."
At this point, the old man trembled with his other hand and pointed at Lu Hanchuan, “It’s really disappointing. I don’t remember teaching you to take your anger out on others How did you learn it yourself Three years ago, when you married Xiaoyao, although I forced you, I didn’t deny you the chance to resist. It was you who didn’t seize it!”
He was a grandfather, and he only had this one grandson.
If Sunzi was truly unhappy with his arranged marriage, he could have completely rebelled.
Then, would he still insist on taking him to get married
At this point, the old man sadly closed his eyes and said, "Hanchuan, you are always successful in business, why are you so clueless when it comes to love If you just neglected Xiaoyao because I forced you into marriage, I wouldn't be this angry. What angers me is when did you become so lacking in moral judgment"
"Grandpa, I didn't..." Lu Hanchuan shifted his body, wanting to explain something, but the excruciating pain from his back made it impossible for him to speak a complete sentence.
To utter these few words, he had already expended a great deal of effort.
"No" The old man looked at him impassively. "I asked you, did I ever tell you to stop seeing that woman surnamed Qi and live a good life with Xiaoyao You actually not only kept that woman's true illness from me, but also often stayed overnight with her at the hospital, not even returning home. What do you think of Xiaoyao"
Lu Hanchuan's eyebrows twitched, but he didn't speak.
The old man took a deep breath, suppressing his anger and continued, “I thought these things were already unbelievable, but I never expected that what you did afterwards would be even more infuriating. How could you let your own wife donate bone marrow to another woman And this wasn't just once!”
"Only once, the second time I didn't agree." Lu Hanchuan inhaled a small amount and exhaled a large amount.
The old man looked at him without a shred of emotion in his eyes, "You didn't agree, but Qi Dongming kidnapped Xiaoyao and beat you up so that you would take the blame. You turned out to be fine with it yourself. Your wife had her bone marrow extracted, your child was beaten, yet you willingly concealed it for them. Lu Hanchuan, I ask you, do you have a heart"
Lu Hanchuan answered very affirmatively, "I have!"
"Yes, you have a heart, but your whole heart has run off to the Qi family. Even if you don't love Xiaoyao, at least you should protect her, right She's your wife! There's your child in her belly! Have you fought for her justice Have you avenged your child"
Lu Hanchuan's eyes dimmed, "......No."
"Yes, you haven't done anything. You haven't even tried to cause trouble for the Qi family. I'm thinking, is that woman named Qi so charming Has she bewitched you to the point where you have lost your sense of reason and morality" The old man questioned angrily, exasperated by his grandson's lack of response.
Lu Hanchuan propped himself up from the ground, "Grandpa, this isn't Xiaoya's fault."
"Well, are you still defending that woman even after arriving here Lu Hanchuan, in front of me, your own grandfather, are you truly so devoted to her" The old man trembled with anger.
Lu Hanchuan panted and replied, "This has nothing to do with love. These things were all done by Qi Dongming. Xiao Ya is innocent."
"Humph!" The old man slapped the table in disdain, making the teacups tremble. "Innocent I'm afraid only you think so. What kind of person is Qi Ya I know her better than you. It's just that your eyes are blinded by filth, thinking she's perfect. Even if she didn't participate in these things, using Xiao Yao's bone marrow makes her not innocent, so..."
Lu Hanchuan looked at the old man, waiting for his next words.
The old man twitched the corner of his mouth, “So Lu Hanchuan, I ask you, do you want to seek justice for Xiaoyao and your child If you don’t, then I will. You should know that I have always longed for a great-grandchild. After waiting so long, finally, just because of the Qi family, my great-grandson is gone! How can I let the Qi family go unpunished!”
He will get revenge for both old and new grudges!
It's all because of this useless grandson that the Qi family now dares to climb onto the Lu family's head, extracting his granddaughter-in-law's bone marrow, killing off his great-grandson, and making his son take the blame.
He's going to settle the score with the Qi family for all of this!
"Grandpa, do you want to treat the Qi family like this" Lu Hanchuan's expression tightened, ignoring the pain in his back, and asked urgently.
The old man's eyes narrowed dangerously, "Of course it's to make the Qi family cease to exist, to have those women surnamed Qi kneel before Xiaoyao and apologize."
"No!" Lu Hanchuan stopped her.
The old man's face flushed red with anger, "What Do you feel sorry for him"
"No." Lu Hankan propped himself up on a chair leg and stood, the simple action almost causing him to wince. "Grandpa, although the Lu family could indeed destroy the Qi family, a dying camel is bigger than a horse. What if the Qi family goes all out in desperation They could still inflict damage on the Lu family."
The old man frowned slightly when he heard this, "What do you think we should do then Let me tell you, I must make the Qi family pay for what they've done!".”"Yes, I'm back." Fu Xiaoyao hugged Song Yi.Aunt Song cried out, "Madam, where have you been for the past six years Since you didn't die, why haven't you come back"Fu Xiaoyao lightly patted her on th...
