"So now, I don't want my son to become another me. I don't want him to become the third person between you and Lu Qinghao. I know what first love means to people like you."
"If I don't stop it, Yuchen will be the only one who gets hurt in the end. Yuchen loves you very much, and I don't want my son to suffer the same injury that I suffered back then!"
Zhuo Yarong is so stubborn about this matter that she seems to be paranoid.
Because of her own experience, she was sure that Xinluo and Lu Qinghao had an affair.
To Zhuo Yarong, no matter how good Xinluo is, he cannot compare to her own son.
For Lu Yuchen, she doesn't mind being a bad person.
"Xinluo, don't look at me like that..."
Zhuo Yarong felt a little sorry for Xinluo when she saw that he just looked up at her, not saying anything and looking so quiet.
She hardened her heart and gritted her teeth, "I know that you may have your own reasons and it's not your own will this time, but the fact that you and Lu Qinghao have always been in contact is a foregone conclusion. What's more, people outside won't think so much, they will just watch the fun. I... I can't let Yu Chen become a laughing stock for them after dinner!"
She herself was made a laughing stock.
Yu Chen must not follow his old path.
Her life was miserable, and so was her son's life... Zhuo Yarong asked herself whether she had ever been deeply in love with Lu Huanting, and Yu Chen was also very kind to Yue Xinluo.
However, they are the same as mother and son. Both were betrayed by their own partners, and because of each other's betrayal, they became the laughing stock of the whole city.
Seeing that Xinluo still didn't say anything, Zhuo Yarong simply stopped talking.
"Okay, since you don't want to agree to my request... then I'll just say it straight. Xinluo, I just hope that you will let our Yuchen go because I treated you well in the past. When you were bullied by the Tang family, I felt sorry for you and helped you... Now, please have pity on me too. You..."
"Please leave... Please, please leave Yuchen. Only if you leave on your own initiative, Yuchen will let go..."
Zhuo Yarong took the initiative to grab Xinluo's hand, her slender eyes full of pleading.
She wanted Xinluo to agree, but Xinluo refused to answer.
Zhuo Yarong was anxious, and she grabbed Xinluo's hand and pulled hard unconsciously, "You...what do you want in exchange for letting my son go?"
"Yue Xinluo, you are the eldest daughter of the Yue family, you are powerful and influential, why do you insist on holding my son hostage! Tell me, are you willing to leave Yuchen or not!"
"Yes, of course I will... But the person who should leave now is not my daughter, but you, old witch." A delicate and pleasant voice suddenly came from outside the door.
The three people in the room all looked back in shock.
Sadie blurted out: "Madam... you are here..."
Shen Zi curled her lips and revealed a meaningful smile. Then she walked to the bedside with a swaying figure and slapped Zhuo Yarong's hand away.
"Don't touch my baby, it's dirty."
"You...you said I'm dirty...?" Zhuo Yarong looked at Shen Zi in disbelief.
"I'm talking about whoever is dirty." Shen Zi smiled wryly.
Zhuo Yarong was so angry at Shen Zi's words, after all, she was still the dignified Mrs. Lu.
This woman called her an 'old witch' as soon as they met, and now she's calling her 'dirty'!
If Zhuo Yarong had not seen the world and had good self-control, she would have lost her temper by now.
"You are Xinluo's mother, the Duchess, right?" She suppressed her anger and looked Shen Zi up and down.
"Well... You came at the right time. I'm trying to persuade Xinluo. You don't know what your daughter has done, do you? She cheated on her husband. Tell me, as a mother, should you intervene in such a matter?!"
