“She said that we should hand this child to Sergeant Lu. She said that he owed her that much. She said that she and Sergeant Lu were engaged. If it weren’t for Jiang Yao… Oh, no…”
At that point, the soldier glanced at Jiang Yao and anxiously scratched his head. He did not know if he should continue.
“Continue.” At that moment, Jiang Yao was so angry that her voice carried some anger.
“I should not say it.” The young soldier had already lost his courage under Lu Xingzhi’s gaze. When Jiang Yao’s words forced him, he was so scared that he did not dare to speak.
“Say it.” Lu Xingzhi spat.
“Really?” The young soldier looked at Lu Xingzhi carefully and then at Jiang Yao. Then, under the gaze of a few pairs of eyes, he braced himself and said, “That woman also said that if it weren’t for Mrs Lu’s interference, she wouldn’t have ended up like this. Her life is miserable because of Sergeant Lu and Mrs Lu.”
“Engaged? Snatched love? Mrs Lu, so you snatched your husband from another woman?” Old Madam He raised her voice. Her voice was so loud that the entire building probably heard her.
“I don’t know. That’s what that woman said. Then, when she saw that we weren’t picking up the child, she left the child at the entrance and ran away.” The young soldier was almost scared to tears when he saw Sergeant Lu and his wife’s expressions.
Everyone said that Hades Lu had an icy face, but his wife’s expression was not inferior to his at all. The couple stood there with ugly expressions on their faces. It really scared everyone so much that no one could say a word.
“It’s Chen Lanying.” Jiang Yao gritted her teeth. “I met Chen Lanying and her husband when I went to the city with Mrs Lin during the day. Her husband has another woman outside, and that woman is pregnant. Chen Lanying’s son is sick, and her husband wants to divorce her. She almost threw the child to his death on the ground.”
“What did she say to you?” Lu Xingzhi remembered that when he called Jiang Yao, her tone was not good. It was probably because of Chen Lanying. That woman must have done something to make Jiang Yao hold back her anger, so when she picked up the phone, she was in a bad mood; that was why she ignored him.
“She said that if it weren’t for her engagement with you, her husband wouldn’t suspect that her son wasn’t his. She said that her husband also suspects that the child is yours, so she asked me to take the child and said that I, as your wife, should settle the debt you owed her. I was angry, so I turned around and left. I ignored her,” Jiang Yao said as he scoffed. “Her husband wanted to divorce her because his son wasn’t his. He didn’t even believe the results of the paternity test from the hospital.”
“That’s right! That woman also said something else,” the soldier said. “She said that even though she was the one who broke off the engagement, Sergeant Lu knew the reason behind it. It was Sergeant Lu who deliberately cheated to marry Mrs Lu.”
When Old Madam He heard that, she glanced at the child and then left as she mumbled something under her breath.
“How long has she been gone? How did she get here?” Lu Xingzhi ignored Old Madam He and asked the soldier.
“We didn’t see or hear a vehicle. She must have walked to the entrance. She must have been walking for less than ten minutes, which is when I ran in here with the child,” the young soldier answered.
