Still pregnant, what if she misunderstood…
On the way back to the hospital, he booked his return ticket on his phone.
Entering the ward, his mother was still chattering with his aunt. Lu Mingzhe told her directly.
“Mom, there’s an urgent matter in Nancheng, I have to go back first.”
“You should stay here, the car is for you to drive. If you feel you’ve recovered enough, then come with me.”
His mother was very surprised and asked him why he was in such a hurry.
Lu Mingzhe’s tone was not good.
“I came out with you on a whim, and I haven’t arranged anything. My work is already a mess, do you know that? I’m not as idle as you are.”
“I’ve done what I should have done, don’t morally blackmail me anymore.”
After speaking, he turned and walked out with a cold face.
His mother, furious, chased after him.
“Stop! Lu Mingzhe, what do you mean?”
“Morally blackmail me? How can you say something so inhuman?”
“This is your uncle, my own brother! Our relationship is like yours and your brother’s, blood is thicker than water!”
“It’s just delaying your two days, losing two days of income, is that why you’re speaking so harshly?”
“Don’t you know what kind of people your uncle and aunt are?”
“You dislike owing others your whole life. If you act like this in front of them, how will they think of me? Where will that leave my reputation?”
“All day long it’s about your reputation, your reputation, have you ever thought about me?”
Lu Mingzhe finally couldn’t hold back, and everything came pouring out.
“Why did you suddenly bring me here? Why did you stop me from buying a power bank when I went into the county town?”
“Did you find something out behind my back? Did you do something behind my back?”
Hearing this, his mother was startled.
But she pretended nothing was wrong.
“What do you mean? What did I find out behind your back? What did I do behind your back? What are you trying to say?”
Lu Mingzhe was only guessing.
After all, Xiang Wan hadn’t told him anything.
He just suspected that Xiang Wan had been through a lot of hardship recently, and maybe it was his mother…
“You know what you’ve done.”
“To tell you the truth, I’m not the one with the problem, it’s Xiang Wan who’s in trouble, and I’m rushing back to help her.” m..oΓg
“She’s already pregnant with my child, she’s mine. No matter what happens, I will support her wholeheartedly.”
“You!”
His mother trembled all over, and slapped him.
“You useless thing, how could I have raised a son like you!”
“You have no compassion for your own uncle who is so sick, and instead…”
Lu Mingzhe’s face was turned to the side from the slap. He didn’t turn it back, and coldly questioned his mother.
“Only your relatives are relatives, isn’t Xiang Wan my relative too!”
“How many times have I told you, she’s pregnant with my child! She’s mine!”
“How can you be so sure the child is yours?”
His mother interrupted him with a roar.
“Do you even know what she does? How many men surround her every day? Do you know who she’s been in contact with when you’re not around?”
“If she says it’s yours, then it’s yours. Lu Mingzhe, how can you be so stupid?”
Lu Mingzhe had never doubted Xiang Wan’s love.
Because he felt it clearly.
Only someone like his mother, who didn’t understand, would say such absurd things.
He gritted his teeth.
“You can dislike her, you can reject her, you can look down on her profession, but you cannot insult her character!”
“When you insult her, you are also insulting me…”
“Don’t try to frame me! What insult this, insult that, I’m telling the truth!”
His mother interrupted him forcefully again.
“Son, don’t you know? The more beautiful a woman is, the more she can deceive. Love can be acted out…”
“Stop beating around the bush, what exactly do you want to say?”
His mother sighed.
“You are my son, what mother doesn’t dote on her own child?”
“Originally, I didn’t want to tell you, thinking that she would expose herself over time, and you would understand everything. But now…”
She took out her phone and showed him a pile of pictures.
“Look for yourself.”
His mother had already recognized Xiang Wan and had even hired someone to track her privately.
What lay before Lu Mingzhe were photos of Xiang Wan with other people.
All of them were with men.
Some were on the street, walking side by side, leaning close to each other intimately while talking.
Some were taken through car windows, she and some men huddled together, heads touching, looking at something.
These did not immediately catch Lu Mingzhe’s attention.
Because he knew these people, they were Xiang Wan’s colleagues.
What truly made him feel a bit jarring was Tang Haichao.
They had gone to the bank together, eaten at restaurants together, sat in cafes together, and driven the same car together.
He never knew that Xiang Wan had interacted with Tang Haichao so many times in his absence.
But it was just possessiveness acting up. He felt displeased, but Lu Mingzhe wouldn’t question Xiang Wan’s character because of it.
If a man and a woman standing together meant something dirty, then men and women shouldn’t work in the same company anymore.
He returned the phone to his mother, “What does this prove?”
His mother was stunned, “This still doesn’t prove anything? Then look at something else.”
She took out a property purchase agreement.
The date was last month, and the signature was Xiang Wan’s name.
“She bought a house last month, and this man helped her with the 2 million down payment. Did you know about this?”
Lu Mingzhe didn’t know.
This area was quite upscale.
Xiang Wan had been short of money lately, so why would she have the leisure to buy a house?
“I didn’t intentionally inquire about this. It was the driver, Uncle Wang, who was preparing to buy a house for his son. I asked someone for a discount and found out by chance.”
“It’s so easy to stumble upon her scandals. If I investigated thoroughly, who knows how much more there would be. My foolish son, do you think she’s still worth your constant thought?”
Whether she was worth it or not couldn’t be decided by a few photos and your one-sided story.
Now Lu Mingzhe couldn’t wait any longer.
“I’m leaving, Mom. Take care of Uncle, and apologize to him for me.”
The clothing market in Nancheng was no longer sufficient for Xiang Wan’s current needs.
The competition was too fierce.
Even if she could buy raw materials, she couldn’t find suitable factories for processing.
So Tang Haichao suggested she go to Beicheng.
Beicheng was no worse than Nancheng, and the clothing industry was also prosperous.
Tang Haichao asked people to inquire about several factories. The orders were not large, and they could meet her delivery times.
Xiang Wan, who was at her wit’s end, immediately boarded a plane to Beicheng.
On the way to the airport, she saw that Lu Mingzhe had called her back, and her heart finally relaxed.
However, when she called him back, his phone was turned off again.
Xiang Wan sent him a WeChat message.
“I know you’re busy, so take care of your matters first. I need to go to Beicheng for the next two days. We’ll talk when I get back.”
Lu Mingzhe turned on his phone after landing and saw Xiang Wan’s message, almost spitting blood.
After all the trouble of rushing back from another place, she had gone to Beicheng again!
