CH 78

Chapter 78: Stand Alone

Lu Shi was not impressed by Shi Huanchuan’s gaze. He touched his belly, and really couldn’t believe that there was already an embryo inside.

His eyebrows furrowed. He didn’t have any fatherly love for the one-month-old in his stomach. He just felt that it was ridiculous that he had a child out of nowhere.

Chang Qing, who was next to him, also realized a problem. He said to Shi Huanchuan, “If we didn’t find out, were you just planning on letting his stomach get bigger?”

Chang Qing sensed the more sinister intentions behind Shi Huanchuan’s behavior. A man could not conceive as well as a woman. Although he could take medicine in advance to prepare for pregnancy, it was basically impossible to abort the pregnancy once the first month was up. He could only give birth.

Shi Huanchuan didn’t say a word.

Chang Qing felt that his heart was blocked. Shi Huanchuan posed as a straightforward person but he turned out to have such a deep and vicious heart.

Lu Shi said in a strange voice beside him, “You were just going to wait until my belly gets bigger before you tell me the truth. You want to see me die of anger. Don’t you think it’s a pity that you didn’t get what you wanted? Now you have one less thing to laugh about.”

Mother Shi spoke up: “Huanchuan knows he was wrong. Besides, I think he really likes you.”

Lu Shi rolled his eyes, “There are so many people who like me. Who is he? Besides, your son is committing a crime. I’ll sue you one by one. “

He couldn’t figure out what kind of crime Shi Huanchuan had committed but it was, always good to bluff people.

Mother Shi: “…”

Lu Shi didn’t bother to talk to her anymore. He quietly curled up on the sofa, gently sipping hot tea, and didn’t say anything else.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Zheng and Father Shi finally came down.

Both of them looked very calm, and they didn’t smile much. Of course, they might not be able to laugh at this time.

Father Shi took Shi Huanchuan back. Before leaving, Shi Huanchuan glanced at Lu Shi and said “I’m sorry.”

Lu Shi lazily lifted his eyes and gave him a cold blank stare.

After everyone left, Lu Zheng sat down in front of Lu Shi, and said: “It’s late today. I’ll take you to get rid of the thing in your stomach tomorrow.” He paused for a moment and said, “What do you think? Don’t even think about keeping it.”

Lu Shi was a little tired after making a fuss for so long. When he heard Lu Zheng’s words, he mumbled, “Of course I want to get rid of it. It’s disgusting. I didn’t expect him to be this kind of person.”

Lu Zheng didn’t speak. He was also a little tired. His temples ached as though a drill was constantly drilling into him.

Chang Qing asked him: “How is this matter going to be resolved?”

Lu Zheng said: “I wanted to break his hands and feet at first, but Shi Zheng was was open-minded and gave a lot of things …..”

Seeing him pause, Chang Qing said, “And then what…?”

Lu Zheng pinched the bridge of the nose. The corners of his lips curled up into a smile, and he lightly said: “So I changed my mind, breaking his two legs is enough.”

Lu Shi shuddered and looked at Lu Zheng’s face as if he were a stranger.

Lu Zheng noticed his gaze and said in a low voice, “What are you looking at me like that for? Do you feel sorry for that kid?”

Lu Shi didn’t say a word.

Lu Zheng said: “If I didn’t have people watching you all the time, you wouldn’t be able to abort that baby once your belly got bigger. Did you know that?”

Lu Shi glanced at him and murmured: “…I know “

Lu Zheng said calmly, “You don’t listen to anything I tell you. I want to control you? How? You don’t listen to me at all, what’s the use of controlling you?”

Lu Shi retorted with trembling lips: “If you had told me that Shi Huanchuan likes men, I definitely wouldn’t have lived with him.”

Lu Zheng said, “Come on, you’re pushing the blame again. The problem now is that you don’t know people well enough so you went and led the wolf into the house.”

Lu Shi didn’t reply.

Lu Zheng said calmly, “I’m not saying all this to blame you, I just want you to be more mindful of what you do in the future.”

After Lu Zheng finished speaking, he stopped talking. He asked Mother Zhang to make a midnight snack for Lu Shi and urged him to finish it before sending him back to his room.

….

On Shi Huanchuan’s side it didn’t end there. He was covered with a sack, beaten from behind and sent to the hospital.

Mother Shi held Shi Huanchuan’s hand and cried. They all knew who did it, but they ignored it. They could only swallow back their broken teeth.1

“What do you think you’re doing provoking that brat from the Lu family?” Mother Shi cried, her eyes turning red.

Shi Huanchuan looked tall and strong, but now lying on the bed he showed a bit of weakness. He frowned and said, “Don’t cry, mom.”

Mother Shi was angry and sad, “If your leg suffers after-effects, I don’t care that his surname is Lu, I don’t believe that he can’t be punished.”

Shi Huanchuan studied in a military academy and exercised a lot. Even if his leg wasn’t broken thoroughly, it was enough to bother him.

“I did something wrong, don’t make trouble.” Shi Huanchuan knew that the child in Lu Shi’s womb couldn’t be kept. He was really in a bad mood, and he didn’t seem to care about his future.

When he told his mother about this, his mother said angrily, “Do you still want him to have the baby? Even if he does, our old Shi family won’t acknowledge him. What is this? How old are you? You’re already doing such a wicked thing. Have you ever thought about your parents?”

Mother Shi said: “If you had pursued him normally, you wouldn’t have ended up like this. Why did you have to go down such an evil path? Don’t look at me. I can’t help you, and your father won’t help you either.”

Shi Huanchuan didn’t speak, he was lost in thought while looking at his leg which was still in plaster.

Lu Shi followed Lu Zheng to the hospital the next day.

Lu Shi didn’t feel much about aborting the child at first, but he really panicked when he got to the hospital.

“How are we going to do this?” Lu Shi asked the doctor.

The doctor said, “It’s only been a month, you can just take some medicine.”

Lu Shi took the medicine and looked at Lu Zheng with a pale face.

Lu Zheng patted him on the shoulder reassuringly, “It’s okay. It’ll only take a few minutes.”

Lu Shi was silent for a rare moment. After taking the medicine, he soon got a stomachache. Then he discharged a pile of blood-red things in the toilet.

That image will probably haunt him for the rest of his life.

Lu Zheng led the pale-faced Lu Shi out of the hospital, and said unhurriedly: “Just treat it as taking a shit, and you’ll be fine after you do it.”

Lu Shi said weakly:  “It’s easy for you to stand there and talk about it. Do you know how scary it is?”

Lu Zheng subconsciously wanted to stab him with a few words but his eyes fell on his face, and he frowned. He swallowed his words back and reached out to cover him with a blanket, “Those pills you’re taking will have no effect now that you’re off them. Go home to live, ok?”

Lu Shi gave a soft “hmm”.

Lu Zheng said: “Don’t quarrel with Chang Qing when you come back.”

At this time, Lu Shi couldn’t say something like it’s me or him. He paused for a moment and asked somewhat irritably, “Why do you all like him?”

Lu Zheng paused for a long time before saying: “You should think about why you don’t like him.”

Lu Shi said: “He killed big brother.”

Lu Zheng said: “You should know that it’s not his fault.”

Lu Shi said: “You all speak for him anyway.”

After a while, he looked at Lu Zheng suspiciously, “Why do you have such a good relationship with him?”

Lu Zheng asked rhetorically. “Which one of your eyes saw that I was on good terms with him?”

Lu Shi said with some resentment, “You look like a family to me. When I come back where is there a place for me to be?”

Lu Zheng said: “You’re the one who refused to come back. Can you blame him for that?”

Lu Shi was silent, and after a while he said: “Forget it, I’ll reluctantly let him live with me.”

Lu Zheng was also a little tired. He glanced at Lu Shi and said, “It’s time for you to be sensible. I hope this is the last time. Don’t be stupid again.”

Lu Shi didn’t speak, he touched his stomach unconsciously. The doctor had said that he was in good health and will recover soon, but at this moment, the feeling of something missing in his stomach was extremely strong and made his entire body feel hairy.

It was too dark. He couldn’t forget it for the rest of his life.



Lu Shi officially moved back home, and the house became much more lively.

Lu Hua had already reconciled with Lu Shi. She brought him to look at the newly plants they had planted in the back. “This is a white rose. It hasn’t blossomed yet. This is a pea, and this is a leek!”

Lu Shi was allergic to pollen. When Lu Hua said that, he frowned and cried, “Why are you still planting flowers?”

Not far away the greenhouse was also filled with flowers and plants, and the flower rack also has the opportunity to show its talents.

Lu Hua snorted and said, “Second brother said that you wouldn’t come back, so I asked Ding Bo to start planting flowers.”

Lu Shi said angrily, “You didn’t think I would come back, did you?”

Lu Hua said guiltily, “Yes, you said so firmly that you wouldn’t come back. I thought you could be self-reliant,  but I didn’t expect you’d be back in a few days.

Lu Shi: “…”

He was in a bad mood and asked Lu Hua, “Do you like that Chang Qing so much?”

Lu Hua whispered to him: “Don’t hate him anymore. He is very good and treats me very well.”

As she said this, she told him about all the things that had happened before, and Lu Shi’s frown gradually relaxed.

Lu Hua concluded: “It’s fate that everyone can get together. Third Brother, you always have a prejudice against him. Naturally, you think everything he does is wrong. You have to be more objective when judging people, and find beauty in the details.”

Lu Shi insisted, “I don’t see anything good about him.”

Lu Hua said, “He looks good.”

Lu Shi: “…”

Lu Hua rolled her eyes and said, “Are you in good health? Don’t you have to sit in confinement?”

Lu Shi got angry when he thought of this, “Sit my ass, there’s nothing to sit on. “

He is a man after all, and he recovers quickly. It’s only been a day, and he doesn’t feel any pain.

Lu Hua sighed, and said, “Take care of yourself. There are too many scumbags out there. They’re even cheating boys now. In the future, you should be more careful. You have such a bad temper. I can’t even stand you. How could someone treat you so well and not ask for anything in return?”

Lu Shi snorted coldly, “You’re lecturing me now.”

Lu Hua said, “Every one of my words is a gem. It’s priceless advice. Third brother you have to listen to advice and learn from your mistakes.”

Lu Shi said impatiently: “Okay, everyone can lecture me now.”

Lu Hua said: “That’s not true.  You’re not good to Qing Qing. He’s so scared that he doesn’t dare to come in front of you.”

Lu Shi heard her say Qing Qing and was speechless. The firm resistance to foreign enemies in the past has now become just him standing alone. It made him unable to hold on any longer.

Really worrying.
