Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Do you think I didn’t know that it was Xue Yuming who asked you to push my mother to her limits?!”
Lu Zhaoyang could not breath. Her face turned red as she shook her head in denial.
“I… I didn’t… You, cough cough… Do you not… know… the kind of… person I am?”
Her face was pale, but the hand around her neck did not relent.
It felt like her neck would break at any moment.
When Huo Yunting finally regained his senses, he let go of his grip.
Lu Zhaoyang immediately pushed his hand away and panted heavily to catch her breath.
“Huo Yunting, stop blaming me on everything. I did not provoke Aunt Qiu on purpose, I only wanted to pay her a visit!”
“…”
Huo Yunting was speechless. He saw in her bloodshot eyes the anger, grievance, and also a tad bit of disappointment that she felt.
If everything she said was the truth, if she was innocent, then it would only mean that…
Xue Yuming had lied to him!
He clenched his fists and felt a new wave of anger rising in him.
Indeed, he knew the kind of person Lu Zhaoyang was. She had even offered help to a stranger that was Lu Bai once upon a time ago. It was impossible for her to try and push an innocent and mentally ill patient to her death.
Even if it was all done to win a future with Huo Chen, a life obtained in this manner would not have gone down well with her.
However, his emotions had overcome him back then and he did not realize this. Besides, her sudden departure with Huo Chen had further convinced him that she had planned it all along.
After a while, Lu Zhaoyang felt better and straightened herself.
She threw him a look before turning to leave.
It did not take long for Huo Yunting to catch up behind her.
“Let me help you.”
“No!” Lu Zhaoyang pushed him away. “Huo Yunting, stay away from me!”
“You…”
He had misunderstood things and overreacted, but she…
He noticed the red marks on her neck against her fair skin and pursed his lips. “I was wrong,” he apologized softly.
“That is rare coming from you. Okay, I forgive you, but everything between us ends today!”
She had enough from him!
“We are still husband and wife, how can you end things between us just like that?”
Huo Yunting suddenly felt relieved that he did not divorce her on impulse four years ago, when he was at the peak of his fury.
That allowed him to speak more confidently to her at this moment.
Lu Zhaoyang kept her eyes downcast as she walked down the steps. “You intented on suffocating me and accusing me earlier, but you did not spend time with Aunt Qiu. Go back there. I drove here so I can leave myself.”
“I was there for as long as you were kneeling. That is enough.”
Besides, he visited his mother more than once a year.
It had been four years. For four whole years, Xue Yuming had misled him.
How should he make her pay?
Lu Zhaoyang kept her head down and did not notice the change in his aura.
When they were outside the cemetery, she started walking toward her own car, but he caught her by the wrist.
“Let me go!”
“Keys.” He extended a hand at her. “Give me your car keys.”
“I said that I don’t need you to drive me.” Lu Zhayoang frowned and held on tightly to her handbag.
Huo Yunting s.n.a.t.c.hed the bag from her and tossed it to Huo Li.
“Take her car to the office.”
Then, he pushed Lu Zhaoyang into the pa.s.senger seat, took the driver’s seat himself, and drove away.
