Chapter 400: I told you to get out
The loud slap made the air stagnate.
Only after beating her daughter did Tao Lan come to her senses from her shame and anger. She stared blankly at her hands, and when she felt her palms going numb, she realized how hard she had hit her.
"Yunqing, I..."
Lu Yunqing touched her face. Her skin had always been sensitive, and it was now swollen after being slapped so hard. Just by touching it, she could tell how miserable she looked.
My cheeks were so swollen that it was difficult to open my mouth.
This was the first time her mother had hit her so hard since she was little. Lu Yunqing could even feel the anger and hatred in her mother's eyes when she slapped her.
Yes, hatred.
Just because she said something about Zhou Xinran, her mother actually hated her.
Lu Yunqing's eyes were confused, and she even felt a little ridiculous, but the pain at the corner of her mouth made her face the reality.
"I'm going back to my room first."
Lu Yunqing turned around and prepared to leave. Tao Lan subconsciously grabbed her and said anxiously, "Yunqing, no, Mom is not..."
"Mom, I'm very tired and I want to rest." Lu Yunqing interrupted her. Her face was no longer as coquettish as usual. Instead, she had a cold and expressionless face.
Tao Lan was stunned.
While she was stunned, Lu Yunqing shook off her hand and walked away.
Tao Lan stood there blankly, her face full of regret.
Why, why did she hit Yunqing!
After watching the show, Zhou Xinran quickly put away her expression and said guiltily, "Auntie, I'm sorry. It's all my fault."
Isn't it all your fault?
Tao Lan wanted to get angry, but when she touched Zhou Xinran's stomach, she could only suppress it and force a smile.
"Yunqing has been spoiled by me. She deserves a beating. She needs to reflect on herself. Our family can't help her clean up the mess she made for the rest of her life."
She didn't want to see Zhou Xinran for the time being. She took a deep breath and pressed her throbbing temples. "Go check the kitchen to see if the food is ready. Send it up to Yunfan."
"Okay." Zhou Xinran responded obediently.
A few minutes later, she came out of the kitchen with a tray and headed upstairs.
The tray was a bit heavy, and Zhou Xinran's arms were shaking when she arrived at Lu Yunfan's door.
Through the tightly closed door, Zhou Xinran took a deep breath and called out in the softest voice of her life, "Yunfan, I asked the kitchen to prepare some food for you. It's all your favorite. Can you open the door and let me in?"
The last three words almost sounded like a plea.
In the past, Lu Yunfan could never handle this tone of hers, which used to be a bit pretentious, but now she was sincerely asking Lu Yunfan to open the door.
As long as he opens the door, it means that there is a possibility of breaking the barrier between the two of them.
But she shouted for several minutes, kept saying soft words, kept apologizing, and almost said all the words in her heart, but there was no movement.
Zhou Xinran wondered if Lu Yunfan had fallen asleep.
Just as I was hesitating whether to leave, I heard two footsteps at the stairs.
She looked over and found that it was Lu Yunqing and a maid who came.
Lu Yunqing stood not far away with his face red and swollen, his arms folded, his eyes sneerful. "Oh my! Look who this is! It's our gentle and kind Miss Zhou. It's been so long, and you still haven't knocked on my brother's door. It seems your trick won't work on my brother."
"Zhou Xinran, not everyone is attracted by your gentleness and consideration. My brother has seen through your true colors. You will never be able to become my sister-in-law in this lifetime. At most, you are just a tool for giving birth to children."
With every word Lu Yunfan said, her face hurt more, and the pain reminded her of the injustice she had just suffered.
"You're far from Shen Lan. No wonder my brother doesn't like you."
Although Lu Yunqing still hates Shen Lan, she cannot directly affect her interests, but Zhou Xinran can.
The person she hates most now is Zhou Xinran!
Zhou Xinran's eyelashes trembled: "Yes, not everyone will buy into my tricks, but it's enough for your parents to buy into it."
As she spoke, she raised her chin and smiled provocatively: "It's not that I couldn't knock on your brother's door, it's that your brother was sleeping and didn't hear it."
Lu Yunqing's anger was just rising, but when he heard this, he suddenly laughed: "Haha, you said my brother was sleeping, Zhou Xinran, stop deceiving yourself, okay? My brother just sent me a message two minutes ago asking me to come to his room, and you said he was sleeping."
After she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at the maid beside her: "Come, tell us, Miss Zhou, why are you here?"
The maid sensed the tension at the scene and didn't dare to raise her head. She whispered, "The young master asked me to come and take Miss Zhou away."
She said these words were embellished, and Lu Yunfan's original words were "Drive away the woman who is buzzing like a fly at the door."
Lu Yunqing laughed heartily, feeling very relieved: "Zhou Xinran, did you hear that? My brother doesn't want to say a word to you right now. He told you to get lost."
Zhou Xinran handed the tray to the maid with a grim expression.
She leaned closer to Lu Yunqing and said through gritted teeth, "Your mother promised me that after I give birth to the child, I will be the Lu family's young lady. You are a girl, and you will get married sooner or later. By then, you will be an outsider, and you will have to look after my face when you return to the Lu family. After your parents pass away, I will be the head of the Lu family, and you will have to make a living under my command. I advise you to learn your lesson."
