Chapter 58 I am a vicious stepmother 2

The family doctor was examining Lu Zemin when he saw Lu Linyan come in. He sighed and said, "It's not a big problem. He just caught a cold and has a fever. But the young master is weak, so he can't do this again."

Lu Linyan nodded. "I understand."

He looked at the little figure on the bed, pale-faced and lying there silently. If it weren't for the rise and fall of his chest, he would have thought the person was already dead.

Lu Zemin has been frail and sickly since childhood, a condition he was born with. Over the years, the Lu family has cherished him like a precious jewel, giving him all sorts of supplements, but Lu Zemin's health has only improved slightly.

This made Lu Linyan extremely regretful and cautious.

He's too busy; he usually has to rely on the housekeeper to take good care of him.

But today...

"Butler, how did Zemin catch a cold? What happened?"

The butler hesitated for a moment, glancing at Lu Linyan before finally daring to speak under the latter's impatient gaze: "I don't know either. I went upstairs to deliver dessert to the young master and found him collapsed at the door of Madam's room."

"At the door of Madam's room? You mean Gao Qingyu?" Lu Linyan's face was slightly cold, as if he was a little angry.

He wondered why Gao Qingyu was so kind as to make the call; it turned out she was the culprit!

Thinking of this, Lu Linyan got up with a dark face, his anger surging. The butler next to him quickly pulled him back, glanced at Lu Zemin on the bed, gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, wait a moment!"

Lu Linyan stopped and gestured for the butler to speak.

Looking at Lu Linyan's cold face, the latter had a feeling that if he didn't speak up, the master and mistress would probably start arguing again...

He used to think that his wife was not good enough for him, but now he sees that she is both beautiful and talented, and is probably the goddess that many people dream of. It would be a pity if his husband missed out on her.

The butler quickly recounted Lu Zemin's pranks over the past few days, "Perhaps the young master lacks playmates, and he's been joking with Madam lately... This time, he even brought that basin of water up himself..."

At this point, Lu Linyan was somewhat stunned. He subconsciously said, "She didn't tell me."

Then he froze, the words he was about to say stuck in his throat.

Yes, his relationship with Gao Qingyu was not good, and even if the latter wanted to say something, he would not believe or listen to her.

Lu Linyan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his chest. For the first time, he wondered if he had gone too far with Gao Qingyu.

She shouldn't be that bad. Besides, this marriage was what he wanted. If it weren't for Gao Qingyu, he wouldn't have been able to protect Bai Tao.

The room remained silent for a long time until finally the butler couldn't bear it any longer and persuaded Lu Linyan to leave, saying, "I'll stay here and watch over things. Sir, please go back and rest."

Lu Linyan remained noncommittal, then glanced worriedly at Lu Zemin, who was still fast asleep on the bed, and instructed, "Tell me when he wakes up."

"Ok."

After leaving the room, Lu Linyan subconsciously headed towards the master bedroom, but then immediately stopped, an unnatural look appearing on his face.

He must be possessed today, why does he keep wanting to go to Gao Qingyu?

Lu Linyan closed his eyes briefly, then turned and went to the study.

The next morning, Qingyu woke up to the sunlight.

This room has a great location, excellent natural light, and luxurious decor; everything is top-notch.

Qingyu slept soundly all night and felt refreshed.

Just then, there was a soft knock at the door. Qingyu frowned slightly and asked softly, "Who is it?"

"I..." The small voice, filled with childish panic, belonged to Lu Zemin.

Is it going to be fine so soon?

Qingyu was somewhat surprised. She opened the door and looked down—

Lu Zemin hugged a doll, tilted his little head back, and stared at her with wide eyes full of helplessness and pitifulness. "I've come to apologize to you."

He finished speaking in a soft, sweet voice, and then handed over the doll in his hand, saying, "This is a gift."

Qingyu's lips twitched as she looked at the giant rubber duck doll in front of her, feeling a strong sense of rejection.

Her hand, however, honestly snatched the gift, examined it, and Qingyu coughed uncomfortably before saying seriously, "I don't forgive you, but I should have accepted the gift. You've played so many pranks on me, and you expect me to forgive you so easily?"

And when giving a gift, shouldn't you at least give a pearl necklace or some gemstone?

Don't underestimate Lu Zemin just because he's a child. He's a member of the Lu family, and none of the clothes he wears cost less than 10,000 yuan. Qingyu doesn't believe that this little guy doesn't have any money on him!

Moreover, recalling that in the original story, the original owner's repeated attempts to please him were to no avail, Qingyu no longer believed in Lu Zemin's genuine affection.

It's better to have wealth and luxury.

"Go back and play by yourself." Qingyu ignored Lu Zemin, threw the doll on the bed, and went back to her room to change clothes.

Lu Zemin's face was stern, his eyes filled with disappointment, and in the end he could only dejectedly return to his room.

She's really angry, what should I do?

Half an hour later, Qingyu finished tidying up and slowly went downstairs.

As soon as they turned the corner at the bottom of the stairs, they saw Lu Linyan waiting in the lobby for a long time.

The man was dressed in a suit, with a handsome and aloof face, and his long, slender legs were particularly eye-catching.

He's definitely a male lead type, but unfortunately, his character is lacking.

A hint of mockery flashed in Qingyu's eyes. Just as she was about to give a perfunctory greeting, Lu Linyan's phone suddenly rang.

The latter picked it up and looked at it, her expression softening. When she answered the phone, her voice was even more tender, "Tao Tao, what's wrong?"

Peach? The female lead is Bai Tao?

Qingyu became a little interested. In the original story, Lu Linyan and Bai Tao were still deeply in love at this time, and the two were like eighteen-year-olds dating, with a very good relationship.

Bai Tao seemed to know the identity of her "true love," calling him from time to time without any attempt to hide it.

A hint of mockery appeared in Qingyu's eyes. She leaned quietly against the stairwell, not feeling that there was anything wrong with her eavesdropping.

He didn't know what the woman on the other end of the phone said, but Lu Linyan's expression softened even more, and he seemed to be radiating pink bubbles...

This gave Qingyu goosebumps.

She originally wanted to meet her nominal husband and at least ask him for a few tens of millions of pocket money, otherwise wouldn't this life of a wealthy lady be a waste?

Seeing Lu Linyan's love-struck appearance, Qingyu instantly lost the desire to communicate and turned to leave swiftly.

In that instant, Lu Linyan seemed to sense something and turned around, only to see a slender figure, which immediately stunned him.

She came down?

Lu Linyan suddenly felt a little flustered, and a hint of tension flashed in his eyes. He hesitated for a moment, but still said, "I'm sorry about yesterday."

The sound echoed in the living room and reached the stairs.

Qingyu paused slightly, but she didn't turn around. Her mind was preoccupied with her original purpose. Her voice was gentle, yet tinged with anger, "What do you want to apologize for? Was it that you stood by and did nothing while Lu Zemin was playing tricks on me, or that you accused me of abusing Lu Zemin?"

"An apology is all it takes? Is it that cheap?"

Lu Linyan was speechless. Gao Qingyu rarely spoke to him like this, and he was at a loss for words for a moment.

After a long pause, he understood Qingyu's meaning and tentatively asked, somewhat incredulously, "Then... I have a black card here, with no spending limit, you can take it."

"Okay!" Qingyu immediately agreed, her lips curving into a smile. Her speed surprised even Lu Linyan.

Realizing what had happened, Lu Linyan breathed a sigh of relief, but was also a little surprised. He had originally thought that Qingyu would make a big fuss about this, but he did not expect her to be so magnanimous.

but……

Is she that short of money?

The two were silent for a moment. Qingyu was already leaning against the railing, thinking about where to go for fun. Come to think of it, the modern world was something she had only recently come into contact with. Last night, when she looked at that phone, it seemed there were many fun places outside...

Qingyu kept having the urge to go out and have fun. On the other side, Lu Linyan felt awkward and could only say again, "I will discipline Zemin properly from now on and I won't let him bother you anymore."

Qingyu nodded casually in agreement. After thinking for a moment, she turned her head slightly and said, "You can leave after you put the card down."

She only wants the card, not the person.

From Lu Linyan's perspective, he could only see Qingyu's fair face, not her expression, but that was enough to make his heart race again.

Lu Linyan felt something was wrong with him. Why did he act strangely every time he faced Qingyu?

Just then, Lu Zemin suddenly ran over from the kitchen. He was quite bold and grabbed Lu Linyan's leg, shouting, "Uncle, will you play hide-and-seek with me?"

Lu Linyan glanced at Qingyu, placed the card in his hand on the table, and patiently explained to Lu Zemin that he would be leaving soon.

Lu Zemin refused with a bitter face, but Lu Linyan wouldn't indulge him. However, when the latter looked up at the stairs again, there was no one there.

As Lu Linyan thought of Qingyu's departing figure, a ripple of emotion stirred within him...

I feel inexplicably melancholy.
