Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit

Chapter 874 - 867: Short-Circuited Mind

Qiu Zi also knew she really couldn’t hide anymore, so she let Bai Yiran drag her into the room.

When Lu Zitong saw Qiu Zi, she immediately became arrogant again, "Qiu Zi, why don’t you keep running? Why did you stop?"

What Lu Zitong was thinking was, Qiu Zi, if you’re going to run, why not run completely so the family can’t find you? As long as Qiu Zi isn’t around, she’ll be the only child in the Lu family, and any good things from their aunt will definitely come to her first.

Qiu Zi glanced disdainfully at Lu Zitong, "My aunt’s house, why can’t I come?" She said and headed towards the living room.

Seeing this, Luna said to Bai Yiran, "Yiran, let’s go in too."

"Okay." Bai Yiran followed Luna inside.

For a moment, only Lu Zitong was left at the door. She bit her lip. Why was no one paying attention to her? She would definitely make sure Grandma had a good talk with them later!

Thinking angrily, Lu Zitong walked inside with an unhappy face.

Qiu Zi knew she had to face what she had to face, but when she saw her parents and grandmother sitting in the living room, she regretted not listening to Bai Yiran earlier and staying at a hotel instead.

"Grandma, Dad, Mom..." Qiu Zi called out softly.

"Don’t call me Mom! I’m not your mom!" Lu Qian wanted to immediately step forward and slap her twice but was stopped by her husband. It wouldn’t look good to discipline their daughter in someone else’s home, so Lu Qian held back her slap.

"If you’re not my mom, then why are you here looking for me?" Qiu Zi snapped back at Lu Qian’s words. Why wouldn’t they ever consider why she ran away from home? Why did they always like to pin all the blame on her?

"You’ve got a lot of nerve talking back now, do you?" said Old Mrs. Lu, who had given Qiu Zi a cold look since she walked in, "Do you think you had a reason to run away from home?"

"I..." Qiu Zi glanced at Bai Yiran. She left home because her family wanted her to marry Leng Yichen, but how could she say this in front of Bai Yiran?

Old Mrs. Lu didn’t care about any of that; she spoke her mind, "The path arranged by the family is for your own good!" She looked at Leng Liewei and said, "That Leng Yichen is such a good kid, running such a big business. If you marry him, you’ll enjoy endless wealth and prosperity—"

"Grandma, can you please stop?" Qiu Zi was about to die of embarrassment. Pulling Bai Yiran over, she said, "Grandma! Leng Yichen is already married! She’s Leng Yichen’s wife, the rightful daughter-in-law of the Leng Family! They’ve even had two kids together. Can you stop saying those embarrassing things?"

Neither Leng Liewei nor Luna had expected the old lady to publicly bring up this matter. When they returned to the country, they did have the intention of driving Bai Yiran away. However, as time went by, they’d long since accepted Bai Yiran as an indispensable family member. Now that Old Mrs. Lu brought up that past incident, Leng Liewei and Luna felt somewhat embarrassed facing Bai Yiran.

Old Mrs. Lu was taken aback by Qiu Zi’s words and glanced at Bai Yiran. Her old face froze for a moment; no one had told her about these things. All she knew was that Luna had once said she would get rid of Leng Yichen’s original wife and try to have Qiu Zi take her place. Since Qiu Zi had been staying at the Leng Family house recently, she thought Luna had long since driven out Leng Yichen’s wife, and Qiu Zi had successfully gotten in touch with Leng Yichen. So, how did it turn out like this?

Old Mrs. Lu, known for speaking whatever was on her mind, blurted out, "Weren’t you going to drive her away? How come she’s still here? They even have kids?"
