Chapter 877 - 870: A Heart Longing for Death
"Mom, let’s go to the hospital!" Luna insisted on taking the old lady to the hospital, "Second sister, brother-in-law, you should also persuade mom; health is important, she can’t just tough it out like this."
Lu Qian also began to persuade, "Mom, let’s go to the hospital!"
Old Mrs. Lu was irritated by her daughters’ persuasion and said impatiently, "What hospital! I know my own body, I don’t need to go to the hospital. As long as you all stop making me angry, I’ll be fine. I’m only in this state because of you all!"
With that remark, the old lady shifted focus back to Qiu Zi, and Lu Qian, with a stern face, shouted at Qiu Zi, "Qiu Zi, apologize to your grandmother already!"
Feeling wronged, Qiu Zi knew she had to express herself since the old lady fainted, "Grandma, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said those things to you..."
Upon hearing Qiu Zi apologize, the old lady was finally at ease, pointed at Lu Zitong to Qiu Zi, and said, "And your cousin too."
Seeing Lu Zitong’s smug look, Qiu Zi became displeased, "What does it have to do with her? Why should I apologize to her?"
The old lady immediately snorted again, "Have you forgotten what you said about your cousin’s bad reputation earlier? I’m old now, and my greatest wish is to see you sisters getting along. Your behavior towards your sister just breaks my heart..."
Seeing the old lady in distress again, Luna and Lu Qian couldn’t stand it and quickly urged Qiu Zi, "Apologize to Zitong! Listen to your grandmother!"
Gritting her teeth, Qiu Zi felt extremely resentful but could only bring herself to apologize to Lu Zitong, "I’m sorry."
Upon hearing Qiu Zi apologize, Lu Zitong chuckled and put on an infuriating face, "Fine, seeing as I’m the older sister."
Qiu Zi really wished she could give Lu Zitong a good beating seeing that look on her face!
Bai Yiran watched the scene coldly, a hint of mockery in his eyes. As they say, concern leads to confusion; Old Mrs. Lu’s poor acting skills could only deceive the naive Luna and Lu Qian, while Qiu Zi was too angry to see through, but Bai Yiran saw through the old lady clearly.
The old lady glanced at Luna, sensing the moment was ripe, and took the opportunity to speak, "Xiao Na, you see how my body is. When one reaches a certain age, it just doesn’t work anymore. Now you’re the most accomplished in the family, married into the Leng Family, surrounded by influential people." Old Mrs. Lu said, grabbing Lu Zitong’s hand, "I don’t have any other wishes; the only concern I have is your niece Zitong, she’s already 28 years old. If she doesn’t find someone to marry soon, she’ll be late. Can you ask the Cold Son-in-law to find a good match for Zitong?"
It was the first time Luna heard her mother speak to her in such a humble tone, plus worrying about the old lady’s health, Luna couldn’t possibly refuse, nodding immediately, "I can! I can! Don’t worry, mom! I’ll take care of Zitong’s matter!"
Seeing her aunt agree, Lu Zitong shyly lowered her head, putting on a coy demeanor of a young girl, but her eyes sparkled with excitement.
The old lady glanced once more at the luxurious Leng Mansion, then spoke, "Since you agree, then my trip wasn’t in vain. Qiu Zi seems to be sorted too, so I won’t stay. But once I leave, I don’t know when I’ll see you again, Xiao Na! You’re mom’s youngest daughter, mom loves you the most and worries most about you..."
Luna heard this, tears immediately streaming down her face, "Mom, you’re not well. So why leave? Stay here and recuperate for as long as you want. Didn’t you ask my Old Leng to find a match for Zitong? Then Zitong should stay too, second sister and brother-in-law rarely visit, they should stay longer. Wait until mom, you feel better before leaving."
With that, Luna agreed to let Old Mrs. Lu and her entourage stay and live for as long as they wished. Bai Yiran suddenly felt overwhelmed; she couldn’t oppose as a daughter-in-law, but her aunt was truly naive...
Qiu Zi wasn’t feeling great either; having this whole family directly staying at Leng Mansion meant facing Lu Zitong daily, and the thought of it made Qiu Zi want to die.
