Zhuo Yarong had just walked to the door of the villa when she saw Lu Yuchen's car parked in front of the door.
Lu Yuchen probably hadn't received the message yet. He got out of the car lazily and was a little surprised to see Zhuo Yarong.
"Mom, why are you here so late?"
Zhuo Yarong narrowed her eyes and looked at her son. "I came to see my daughter-in-law so that some people wouldn't care about her and faint at home without anyone knowing."
When Lu Yuchen heard this, his face suddenly darkened.
Without saying a word, he walked in with a cold face.
Zhuo Yarong took a step towards the door, blocking Lu Yuchen's way.
"Mom, what are you doing?" He lowered his head and squinted. Compared with Zhuo Yarong's gentle eyes, Lu Yuchen's eyes were narrow and ruthless.
In a trance, Zhuo Yarong seemed to see the shadow of that man on his face.
This made her resistance even more determined.
"Nothing, I just want to ask you something."
"Let's talk about it later. I'll go in and see Xinluo first." This man, whose moods were usually invisible, was rarely so impatient.
Although he deliberately remained indifferent to Tang Xinluo when he answered the phone just now, after the phone suddenly ran out of battery and was automatically disconnected, he felt an indescribable annoyance in his heart.
Qiao Yinyin beside him kept chattering away. Occasionally, when she saw him showing impatience, she would skillfully turn the topic to Gu Xuaner.
However, the trick that had always worked in the past seemed to be useless this time.
Lu Yuchen sat for a while, and couldn't help but think of Tang Xinluo's timid little eyes.
I felt like something was weighing down my heart, and I was unhappy but I couldn't find the reason.
Even though Qiao Yinyin talked a lot about Gu Xuaner's life abroad today, he still couldn't muster any interest.
In the end, he left an hour earlier than expected, but encountered a traffic jam on the way and only returned to Lanwan Yayuan now.
"No... You must explain yourself clearly to me today, otherwise, I will never let you in!" Ever since Lu Yuchen became an adult, Zhuo Yarong rarely dared to be so strong in front of him.
But today is different. Although the person lying inside is only her daughter-in-law, the one standing in front of her is her own son.
But Tang Xinluo's experience reminded her of her own youth. After all, Lu Yuchen had that man's blood flowing in his veins. She was afraid that he would be as cold-blooded and heartless as that man and repeat the same mistakes.
Lu Yuchen's eyes gradually turned cold. He looked at Zhuo Yarong, who looked determined, and said in a deep voice, "What do you want to ask?"
Zhuo Yarong looked at him and asked coldly, "Where did you go tonight? Did you go to see that girl from the Qiao family?"
"Yes." Lu Yuchen answered neatly without any hesitation.
"..." Zhuo Yarong took a breath, looking unhappy, "You went to see her because of Gu Xuaner? You haven't let go of Gu Xuaner yet?"
This time, Lu Yuchen's deep black eyes were colder than before. He was silent for a few seconds before he slowly spoke: "It's just a small gathering among friends. She just came back from abroad, so I'll treat her to a meal."
Zhuo Yarong didn't seem to believe what he said, and looked up to carefully discern the emotions in his eyes.
But what kind of person is Lu Yuchen? If he doesn't want others to see through him, no one in this world can see through what he is thinking.
Even his biological mother is the same.
Zhuo Yarong looked for a while and found that she could not see any clues from Lu Yuchen's face, so she had to give up.
She sighed, "Yuchen... When Mom was pregnant with you, it was the same as Xinluo tonight. I was alone at home, and when I got up at night, I accidentally fell. It was the middle of the night, and there was no one else in the room. I wanted to scream, but the pain was so severe that I couldn't make a sound. Fortunately, later, Mom Zhang got up at night to check on me, and she found me lying on the ground alone."
"Yuchen, I almost lost you at that time... But that man was busy taking care of another woman. Do you understand how I felt at that time? You... You can't be like him, absolutely can't become a man like him."
When Lu Yuchen heard this, the coldness in his eyes gradually weakened.
"Mom, don't worry... I won't." (To be continued)
