Yes. She had said yes.
Lu Jinwen’s pupills started contracting, Tang Chenyi was his son!
It started off with just one voice by his ear telling him that, but it quickly escalated to multiple voices telling him that.
You have a son, you have a son, Tang Chenyi is your son!
Why?
Was Tang Chenyi really not Jun Mosheng’s son?
Lu Jinwen’e eyes turned bloodshot, he quickly went forward and grasped Lin Xuanji’s shoulder, pushing her backwards with a loud bang. Lin Xuanji’s back collided with the dresser behind.
The pain caused her brows to be furrowed and she felt a stinging sensation well up from the back of her throat. She quickly knitted her brows and swallowed it before the man noticed it.
She then heard the man’s furious voice, he grasped her shoulders tightly while questioning her, “Lin Xuanji, are you f*cking tired of living? Tang Chenyi is my son? How dare you lie to me!”
Lin Xuanji was dizzy from him shaking her, all the color drained from her face and she stretched out her arms to push him away. “Let go of me!”
“I’m not gonna let go! If you don’t explain yourself today, I’m gonna ruin you!” Lu Jinwen was almost going to just strangle her to death, this woman had lied to him for more than two decades!
He had always thought that he didn’t have a son, he had always thought that Jun Mosheng had fathered Tang Chenyi, but it turned out, Tang Chenyi was his biological son!
What exactly had he done over the years?
A large hand then came over, holding onto Lu Jinwen’s muscular arm and a pleasant voice was heard. “Lu Jinwen, let go of Xuanji!”
Lu Jinwen turned his head to look, Jun Mosheng had arrived!
Just great, everyone was here today.
The corners of his lips lifted to form a dangerous smile. “Jun Mosheng, you’re daring enough to appear?”
When Jun Mosheng looked at Lin Xuanji’s pale face, he felt heartbroken and his brows were all furrowed. “First let go of Xuanji, you’re almost killing her now. She can’t take your nonsense right now!”
“Why do I have to let go of her, this woman lied to me, how dare she–”
“That’s enough, Lu Jinwen! You can go be crazy and lash out at anyone else except Xuanji! Xuanji doesn’t owe you anything!” Jun Mosheng was furious as he broke off Lu Jinwen’s words. This personable, gentle man had revealed a balefulness that no one would have ever expected to witness of him.
He glared at Lu Jinwen, his tone sarcastic as he snapped, “Xuanji should have just slept with me in the cabin back then if I knew that you’d react so explosively regardless. Lu Jinwen, is it only after Xuanji really gets pregnant with my child and only if Tang Chenyi is my son, then maybe she would have had something to feel any semblance of guilt for! But now, she doesn’t owe you anything!”
Lu Jinwen was stunned, everything just seared into his mind. She hadn’t betrayed him!
All these years, he thought that she had betrayed him.
He had resented her for so many years.
He had punished and tortured her for so many years.
But why didn’t she tell him the truth?
Lu Jinwen clutched onto her shoulders even tighter as he crouched over, their faces now close together while he pinned her with his unwavering gaze. “Lin Xuanji, why didn’t you tell me? Why? You clearly had so many chances to tell me, you knew that I cared so much about it, if only you told me about it earlier…”
“Lu Jinwen,” Jun Mosheng wanted to speak.
But Lin Xuanji gestured towards him, she didn’t want him to say anything more. Lin Xuanji looked at Lu Jinwen, her face all pale while she smirked. She wanted to say those words personally.
She wanted to explain the truth about her children.
“Lu Jinwen, what are you trying to tell me now? Are you going to say that if I had told you earlier, Chenyi would be the young master of the Lu family, your son who’s born with a golden spoon in his mouth? If I had told you earlier, I would have been able to receive your love and doting, and also prosper, thanks to my son? I would have been able to defeat my sister and eventually become your lawful wife?” Lin Xuanji laughed. “You can go to hell!
“Lu Jinwen, do you still remember Mo’er? I had only managed to hold her for a minute before she was sent to my sister right after she was born. You wanted Mo’er to call my sister Mom, I begged you for so long. The thought of Mo’er would send tears flowing out of my eyes. But when you come home at night, you would ask of me to smile, only then would you talk to me.
“Do you still remember our second child?” Tears welled up in Lin Xuanji’s eyes. That child would forever be the thorn in her heart. “My so-called elder sister killed my child, she gave me a bowl of abortion medicine. I suffered a miscarriage and Mo’er wasn’t with me. I went to Sister to fight it out with her. I wanted to take revenge for my child. But what did you do? You protected Sister and gave me one tight slap instead. All you did was to not visit Sister for two years after my child was gone. What, am I supposed to be grateful to you?
“Lu Jinwen, look, I was pregnant with two of your children, but they both didn’t end up well. It was because I was so terrified when I was pregnant with Chenyi, I would have nightmares every night. Every single night, Sister would appear in my dreams and give me another bowl of abortion medicine. Chenyi would appear in my dreams and call Sister ‘Mom’, he even hit me with a rock, scolding me for giving birth to him yet not raising him. He told me I wasn’t fit to be a mom!
“I would always secretly cry at night, I didn’t want to tell you about it. Why do I have to tell you about it? Have you ever protected us from all the harm that came our way? You separated my daughter from me and even shielded the murderer who killed your child. Aren’t you the one who pushed me into those circumstances and caused me to be like that? How far have you pushed me?
“You ordered someone to force me to take an abortion pill, I even had to slice my tummy open when I had a premature birth. I had to witness Chenyi not making a sound at all, he was born mute and Butler Ye even took him away from me. Every one of those tough moments, when I almost died from all of the pain and agony, have I ever thought of telling you about the truth? No! Not even one single bit. Look, how far have you pushed me?
“If only you had just given me even the tiniest hint of warmth and security, I wouldn’t have ruined myself and the children like that. I chose to bear all of the agony and guilt, I chose to lose my consciousness. To me, you have already become a demon in my eyes.
“Everyone only saw the glamorous part of my life, who even wanted to look behind to witness the loneliness? I hadn’t been harmed to death by my own father and sister, but I feel that I’m going to die in your hands!”
Lin Xuanji screamed with her eyes both red. That was how lonely and helpless she was over the years.
Ever since she was young, Lin Xuanji had an unfortunate life. Her mom was gone since she was young and their father had used them like chess pieces. Her elder sister had chosen a completely different life from her. She had chosen to be best friends with Huo Yanmei, but instead, suffered a betrayal.
There were countless eminent youths who pursued after her, if she had just chosen Jun Mosheng and gotten together with him, she would have led a blissful life. However, she fell in love with Lu Jinwen.
Why? Why had she fallen for him? Why?
Her love for Lu Jinwen had ended the year she got pregnant with Chenyi.
Their love had come to an end that year.
Every single time she made a decision regarding Chenyi, it was all because of her despair towards Lu Jinwen and life. She would always be in a daze while sitting in front of the windows, she wanted some warmth, some help from someone else.
However, she hadn’t received any of it.
In her life, all she had was darkness and despair.
Stunned, Lu Jinwen found he couldn’t speak, couldn’t move. He suddenly recalled her romantic ways when she first fell for him. She was just as sweet as Mo’er, making one feel like doting on her with all they had, but she slowly turned stubborn and cold. She would never relent even if she was wounded all over.
How had things become like this?
