Chapter 29 - 29 29 The White Lotus Gets What She Deserves
29: Chapter 29: The White Lotus Gets What She Deserves 29: Chapter 29: The White Lotus Gets What She Deserves Seeing her cry, Lu Yanbai hugged her leg and started crying as well.
Lu Youting, “…??”
Jian Shihai’s palms were sweaty with shock as he tried to explain, “Youting, there has been a misunderstanding!
Sisi and Qingqing are both my daughters.
I admit that I did favor Qingqing, but that was because she was unwell and I felt guilty towards her.
I just wanted to compensate her more.
Not only did Sisi fail to understand my good intentions, but she also hurt Qingqing repeatedly.
I was so disappointed that I lost control and nearly hit her.”
It was not just a case of blaming others for his faults, but pushing all the blame onto Jian Si.
Lu Youting’s pupils constricted, and his eyes suddenly turned cold, with a fierce curve, “Your debt, why must Jian Si pay it for you?
What about what you owe her over these years, what will you use to repay that?”
With one sentence, Jian Shihai was rendered speechless.
Lu Youting was like a provoked lion, with cold anger swirling in his icy eyes, “Suspend all of Ye Qingqing’s duties at the hospital until the Jian Family sorts out its household affairs.
She can resume her position whenever that happens.”
After saying that, he picked up Lu Yanbai with one hand and held Jian Si’s hand with the other, leaving without looking back.
Jian Shihai’s face turned ashen.
Jian Si didn’t struggle and let Lu Youting lead her obediently.
For the first time, she realized how good it felt to have someone stand up for her.
As Lu Youting led Jian Si through the garden to the parking lot, they encountered Xu Jiaorong and Ye Qingqing holding fresh flowers.
Ye Qingqing, oblivious to the unusual atmosphere, presented them like a treasure, “Xiao Bai, these are the flowers you asked me to pick.
Are there enough?
If not, I’ll pick some more?”
Xu Jiaorong added, “These flowers need to be put in a vase immediately after we get back; otherwise, they’ll wilt.”
As soon as she finished speaking, they both saw Jian Si and Lu Youting’s tightly clasped hands.
Ye Qingqing’s face turned pale, and trembling lips asked, “Youting, what are you doing?”
Lu Youting ignored them and resolutely took Jian Si and Lu Yanbai away.
Ye Qingqing, not understanding what had happened, grabbed Jian Shihai who had rushed out, “Daddy, Youting was just fine, why did he suddenly leave?
And…
and why was he so close with Jian Si?”
Jian Shihai, grinding his teeth, briefly explained what happened.
Hearing she had been suspended, she felt dizzy and nearly fainted.
She wanted to chase after Lu Youting to explain, but it was too late; the Maybach had already driven away.
Unable to control her tears, she started hitting Jian Shihai frantically.
“How could this happen?
Why has it come to this?
Didn’t you promise me that you would send Jian Si abroad?
Didn’t you swear she would definitely leave Jiangcheng?
Why did things turn out this way?”
She had even thought about forcing Daddy to make Jian Si leave.
Even if Jian Si refused to leave, they could kidnap her to make sure she never appeared in front of Youting again.
But she hadn’t expected things to turn out like this.
Jian Shihai felt guilty towards this daughter, deeply sorry for her, blaming all her grievances on Jian Si.
“I didn’t expect that Jian Si would bring Lu Youting and Lu Yanbai to back her up.
If it weren’t for those two, things wouldn’t have turned out this way.
Don’t worry, I will find a way to get rid of her.
Lu Youting is yours; no one can take him away.”
“Now that Youting and that little bastard are backing her, what can you do to make her leave?”
Jian Shihai said gravely, “There are plenty of ways to make her leave.
Lu Youting and his son can protect her for a while, but can they keep a constant watch over her?”
Hearing this, Ye Qingqing stopped crying and wiped away her tears, “Daddy, do you really have a way?”
“Of course!
Daddy will never let you suffer the slightest grievance,” Jian Shihai narrowed his eyes, a deeply hidden chill flashing within them—
…
On the way back to Yuting Mansion, Lu Youting drove while Lu Yanbai and Jian Si sat in the back.
Lu Yanbai climbed onto Jian Si’s shoulder and whispered in her ear, “Mommy, don’t worry about me, I was just pretending earlier, my stomach doesn’t hurt at all.
I did it on purpose to let Daddy stand up for you.”
Jian Si, relieved, rubbed his little head and scolded him, “It’s all bruised, how could it not hurt!
Don’t ever do that again!
Mommy is an adult, I can protect myself.”
Lu Yanbai hugged her neck and said, “When I saw them bullying you, I got angry!
You are my mommy, and I won’t let anyone bully you.”
Jian Si couldn’t help but have her eyes well up with tears, choking up and unable to speak.
Lu Yanbai added, “Mommy, it’s not just me protecting you, Daddy is too!
If it wasn’t for Daddy sending the aunt and her daughter out to pick flowers just now, we wouldn’t have had the chance to come up!
Otherwise, you would have been bullied by grandpa.”
Hearing this, Jian Si scoffed in her heart.
What’s the use of protection now?
From the moment he bound her to the operating table five years ago, ignoring her and her child’s life and death, her hatred for him had been deeply buried in her heart, and she would never forgive him for the rest of her life.
As for his help now, other than saying thank you, what else could she do?
Seeing that she did not respond, thinking she was still scared, Lu Yanbai gently patted her back over and over, “Mommy, don’t be afraid, Daddy and I will always protect you.”
Jian Si hugged him tightly to her chest, with so much force it was as if she wanted to meld him into her heart.
As they talked, Lu Yanbai gradually fell asleep.
After arriving at Yuting Mansion, Lu Youting carried him back to his room and gently laid him on the bed, then found the deeply troubled Jian Si on the balcony.
Looking at her profile, Lu Youting parted his lips, and after a long while, he managed to squeeze out three words, “I’m sorry.”
Jian Si looked at him incredulously, thinking she was hearing things.
Seeing her unresponsive, Lu Youting explained, “I misunderstood you yesterday!
You were right, Jian Shihai really is an extremely hypocritical person, deeply deceptive, even I was fooled by him.”
“You understand now,” his words did not clear the gloom in Jian Si’s heart, and her chest still felt tight.
Seeing her mood was still not good, Lu Youting added, “I did not mean to humiliate you last night.
You have reached your current position on your own efforts, your capabilities are clear to everyone, and my paying a high price to bring you back acknowledges your ability.”
With the first apology out, this time it was much smoother.
Jian Si smiled sarcastically, pulling at her lips and said sarcastically, “Where, the money is still given by you, right?
If you didn’t give it, how could I earn it?”
“…??” Lu Youting’s expression froze, he coughed lightly twice to hide his embarrassment, “Didn’t I say, I didn’t mean to humiliate you, why are you holding onto it?”
“What’s wrong?
One sorry, and it’s like nothing happened?” Jian Si closed her eyes, took a deep breath, “I appreciate your help just now, but that’s one thing, the emotional and physical harm you’ve done to me, can’t be compensated in this lifetime, and it’s not something a sorry can fix.”
Having said her piece, she ignored him and headed for the room.
Lu Youting was left confused by the rebuke.
Was it just a couple of harsh words from him?
How could it be so severe that he could never repay it?
As he was feeling depressed, Jian Si came back, “I need to head back home for a bit today, tell Xiao Bai after he wakes up that I’ll come over tomorrow night.
If he misses me, he can video call me.”
Lu Youting unconsciously recalled last night’s WeChat conversation, a tightness forming in his chest, “What are you going to do?”
Jian Si responded emotionlessly, “It’s none of your business.”
“…?” Lu Youting’s pupils shrank sharply, and his facial features tensed up ugly.
Jian Si couldn’t be bothered with him, went back to the room to pack her essentials into her bag, took her car keys, and left.
It had been a long time since she had seen Chenbao and Yueyue because of staying with Xiao Bai, she had to go back and spend time with them tonight, and discuss the kitchen surveillance matter with Chenbao.
Watching her departing back, Lu Youting’s handsome face was as glum as if frost had struck it.
What do you think?
