"Aitong..."
Even someone like Sun Ruicheng, who had seen a lot of ups and downs, showed a hint of surprise at this moment.
"Are you serious? The person lying in there is your biological mother... Do you really want to..."
Sun Ruicheng didn't dare to agree immediately, as he was afraid that this was a test from Lu Aitong.
Lu Aitong was raised by Lin Tong herself. Although she doted on her, she had a better relationship with Lin Tong.
"Dad, I..." Lu Aitong hesitated for a moment, "Yes, I have made up my mind. Dad, I tell you the truth, Huo Jingyan doesn't care about me as much as before."
She and Lin Tong made a wrong move.
If Lu Huanting was allowed to stay in the front for a while longer, with the Lu family's political capital, Huo Jingyan would definitely treat her better than he does now.
Sun Ruicheng is rich, yes, but that’s all he has.
No matter how powerful the king of the underground is, he is nothing but a paper tiger in front of an absolute regime.
Sun Ruicheng cannot be compared with Lu Huanting, who was carefully cultivated by a big family.
It is impossible for him to give Lu Aitong political capital like Lu Huanting did.
It is also impossible for him to socialize with those dignitaries as easily as Lu Huanting.
He even had to rely on Lin Tong and Lu Aitong to enter the real upper class society.
"Daughter, do you mean that Huo Jingyan has changed his mind?"
Sun Ruicheng grabbed Lu Aitong's hand instead, acting even more anxious than she was.
"No, you know, he's going to get married to Gu Xuan'er soon. He hates that woman so much that he naturally loves me more than her. But... if we keep going on like this, I'm not sure if he'll get sick of me."
Thinking of this, Lu Aitong lowered her voice and said, "Dad, if we still worry about Mom, then both of us will become stains. You are her lover now, and I am the daughter she gave birth to with you. In the eyes of outsiders, we are both in the same group."
Listening to Lu Aitong's analysis, it seems to be true.
"My dear daughter, tell me, what should we do now?" He had finally taken over Lu Huanting's power and stood on the top of the pyramid. He was absolutely unwilling to fall back into the dust.
"It's very simple. Mom was too sad and felt sorry for the two families she had harmed. She committed suicide tonight by cutting her wrists out of guilt. When we came tomorrow morning and found her, it was too late to save her. Then, we found a confession letter by her bed. In it, she admitted that she was unwilling to be lonely and took the initiative to seduce you and tempt you to cheat."
"You proposed to break up with her several times, but she threatened to commit suicide every time, so you had no choice but to keep in touch with her. But since you met Chen Yao and got married, you completely cut off contact with her. The only contact you have is because of my daughter."
"This time, she deliberately brought people to B University to kick out Chen Yao's child. You didn't know about it beforehand. You and I are both victims, and we were deceived by her. That's why she repented and died to apologize."
With just a few words, Lu Aitong decided Lin Tong's future fate.
After hearing what Lu Aitong said, Sun Ruicheng felt a lingering fear.
For the first time, he realized that he seemed to have only just now truly gotten to know the girl in front of him.
“Aitong, if we do this, will it be too…” Sun Ruicheng was cruel to outsiders, and he also disliked that Lin Tong was not as young and beautiful as before, but he had always treated Lin Tong and her daughter sincerely.
He hated Lin Tong and only wanted to abandon her and break up with her.
But he never had the idea of putting Lin Tong to death.
"If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth... Dad, you have worked hard to get to where you are today. If you want to be dragged down by her, then it's up to you."
