Chapter 634: 612 Lu Zhizhou: So status is very important in the eyes of some people_1
"She said she is my birth mother."
Lu Zhizhou added a sentence, and then her eyes were staring straight at Lu Mojing.
She believed what Miss Yang had said.
"Yes, your birth mother is still alive."
Lu Mojing was holding a chess piece in his hand, he clenched his fists tightly, and then took a deep breath to speak.
"Why?"
Lu Zhizhou looked at Lu Mojing.
Why had Lu Mojing told her that her mother died in childbirth?
Why did she not know that her mother is obviously still alive?
Why was there no mention of any information about her mother?
Why had her mother never come back to see her all these years?
Why?
Why?
There were indeed many whys in Lu Zhizhou’s heart.
"She has already abandoned you."
Lu Mojing said, with his head lowered, avoiding Lu Zhizhou’s gaze.
Everyone in the Lu family had been hiding something from Lu Zhizhou, the reason must have been that her birth mother had a bad side, otherwise there would be no need to pretend she was no longer alive.
Abandoned?
Lu Zhizhou stared at Lu Mojing, her eyes filled with disbelief.
The once radiant Lu Zhizhou, as a child, had also been abandoned by others.
"You guys chat, I’ll step out for a while."
Lu Mohai stepped out, not planning to interfere in the father and daughter’s conversation.
"Zhuozhou, sit down first."
Lu Mojing gestured to the stool next to him, speaking in a calm and composed manner, his tone particularly flat.
Lu Zhizhou sat down.
"Your mother despised me for not being the heir of the Lu family, despised herself for giving birth to a... daughter..."
Lu Mojing poured himself a cup of tea, then drained it in one gulp, speaking slowly after a pause.
Lu Zhizhou squeezed her fists tightly, remaining silent.
"Your mother and I married two years later only had you. I thought it was love, but I later found out that your mother was only interested in my identity, the heir to the Lu family. Your uncle isn’t interested in these matters, so I was the one who had been busy with Lu family affairs..."
"Later, your uncle took charge of the Lu family, and your mother divorced me. After discovering that she was pregnant, she wanted to abort you, but I stopped her."
"After you were born, she divorced me and then left, claiming that you had nothing to do with her, that she would never meet you. So I always claimed your mother died in childbirth, and everyone in the Lu family echoed the same story."
Lu Mojing spoke slowly, his tone particularly calm. Those events had happened so long ago that he barely felt anything now.
Marrying Miss Yang was a matter of suitability, not love. Miss Yang eyed positions and power, and was deeply ingrained with the belief that only boys could inherit the family business.
Miss Yang had originally set her sights on Lu Mojing for his potential to inherit the family fortunes, she didn’t expect that the heir would end up being Lu Mohai in the end.
Lu Zhizhou just looked at Lu Mojing, unable to imagine that the woman who seemed gentle and had a good demeanor was actually such a character.
"She looks... "
Lu Zhizhou said slowly, and then stopped.
"So, is it true?"
After a long silence, Lu Zhizhou asked slowly.
Indeed, appearances can be deceptive. No matter how good a person’s exterior is, their heart might not necessarily be good.
Whether it was true love for wealth or being forced into it, she had abandoned her anyway.
"Did she come to find you?"
Lu Mojing asked.
"Yes."
Lu Zhizhou nodded.
"Before marrying me, she and Ye Yunsan were lovers."
The expression on Lu Mojing’s face was indifferent, as he accurately portrayed the relationship between the two.
Miss Yang was brought up in a male-dominant family with two younger brothers, her life was naturally not easy.
The two families had some connection, the older generation had arranged the marriage. Since Lu Mohai was infatuated with Ruan Qingyang, the marriage naturally fell on Lu Mojing.
Lu Mojing had no one he liked and thought Miss Yang was not bad, they got married. After their marriage, he discovered that Miss Yang had been in a relationship with another man for two years. She married him immediately after breaking up with that man.
The divorce was ultimately because Ye Yunsan’s business overseas flourished. Miss Yang divorced him to reconcile with Ye Yunsan.
Such a melodramatic story, yet it was true.
Ye Yunsan had started from scratch. When Miss Yang broke up with him, Ye Yunsan was still stumbling on his entrepreneurial path.
"Money, status, they are indeed important."
Lu Zhizhou laughed all of a sudden. Lu Mojing was indeed a snob, but he had never lied to her from childhood, except about her birth mother.
Lu Mojing responded with certainty: "Important."
He had nurtured Lu Zhizhou to be excellent, intending for her to climb higher, to lead a rich life. The title of Miss Lu indeed had a high status, but Lu Mojing believed there was room to go even higher.
"Then why did she come back to find me?"
Lu Zhizhou uttered, a bitter smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
Yes indeed, she had already given up on her, and she had already accepted the lie that her birth mother had died in childbirth. So why did she come to disturb her life?
She would rather believe that her birth mother was really gone than accept the fact that she was abandoned by her birth mother.
Lu Mojing was silent, he had never thought that Miss Yang would return.
——
Miss Yang had been waiting inside the store without leaving, waiting for Lu Zhizhou to come back.
She knew that Lu Zhizhou must have gone to see Lu Mojing. Since she no longer had Lu Mojing’s contact information, she had stayed and waited for Lu Zhizhou.
As the customers in the restaurant gradually dispersed, the environment started to quiet down, the staff were also gradually less busy.
Lu Qingyi liked to come at times when there were fewer customers. Although it was late in the month, she wanted to walk more.
Xu Boyan escorted Lu Qingyi into the restaurant.
"Miss Lu, a lady has occupied your spot."
A waitress walked over to Lu Qingyi, pointing to Miss Yang.
Today, Lu Zhizhou and Miss Yang had been chatting there, then after speaking for a few moments, Lu Zhizhou left. Miss Yang asked a few questions, and then returned to her seat.
They didn’t dare to say anything, or ask questions.
"No matter."
Lu Qingyi glanced over and saw a stranger seated at her usual spot. Looking at her attire, it was clear the woman was of a distinguished background.
"Should we go over?"
Xu Boyan asked. There were other vacant seats in the restaurant, but none were as quiet as that one.
"Yes, we’ll eat and leave, it’s no bother."
Lu Qingyi nodded, saying she was still used to the upstairs seat, the table was wide, and it’s no problem to leave immediately after eating.
"I’ll have a word with her."
Xu Boyan ruffled Lu Qingyi’s hair, indicating that his little friend liked the quiet. The woman wasn’t eating anything, and it wasn’t unreasonable of him to ask her to give up a spot.
This seat was reserved for Lu Qingyi by Lu Zhizhou after all.
"Be courteous, okay?"
Lu Qingyi nodded gently.
Xu Boyan was used to being impudent, having him demand someone to yield a seat in a commanding tone wouldn’t be right.
