Chapter 368 (1/2)

Speaking of Lu Shaoming, Zhou Zhilei’s crazed look quickly calmed down. “Hah…haha,” she laughed.

“Zhilei, what’s wrong with you? Why are you crying and laughing?” Kong Lan was afraid that Zhou Zhilei had gone mad.

“Mom, do you know who caused me to be like this?”

“Of course; it was that pervert Tang Xueli.”

“No, Tang Xueli is just a pervert, but Lu Shaoming is the devil. He pushed me into the abyss, step by step!”

Kong Lan was shocked. “Zhilei, what are you talking about?”

Zhou Zhilei pulled Kong Lan’s arm, and her eyes were full of malicious intent. Her pale face was distorted by hatred. She gritted her teeth and said, “Mom, this is the result of Lu Shaoming’s plots! As early as a month and a half ago, he used Tang Sitian to drug me. It’s ridiculous that I still wanted to use Tang Sitian to anger Ning Qing. But Lu Shaoming’s plan was to use Tang Sitian to deal with me.

“Lu Shaoming provoked and destroyed the relations.h.i.+p between me and Tang Xueli. He knew so clearly what Tang Xueli’s weakness was. He manipulated Tang Xueli and let Tang Xueli deal with me.

“Mom, do you know, Lu Shaoming set up a trap to fake his death. Before he faked his death, he asked a man to rape me and sent the video to Tang Xueli. Tang Xueli saw the video and took me away. That night, he rewarded me to his men. Lu Shaoming disappeared for half a month, and I was tortured for that time. Everything I’ve suffered in this half a month was because of him!”

Kong Lan clenched her fists after hearing that. With hatred, she said, “How could this happen! Does Young Master Lu have no regard for the friends.h.i.+p between the Lu and Zhou families?”

At this time, a knock sounded. Zhou Dayuan appeared at the door. Behind him stood Zhou Zhilei’s doctor and nurse.

Zhou Dayuan was not a doctor in this hospital, but the name “Zhou Dayuan” has resounded throughout the entire medical industry, and he had a high reputation both at home and abroad. Therefore, Zhou Zhilei’s operation was done by Zhou Dayuan with the attending physician. The attending physician admired Zhou Dayuan’s talent very much.

The nurse came in and helped Zhou Zhilei onto the bed. The attending physician examined Zhou Zhilei. Kong Lan came to Zhou Dayuan with her fists clenched. She coldly said, “You come out.”

Zhou Dayuan glanced at Zhou Zhilei in bed, nodded politely to the attending physician, then turned around.

They stood at the entrance of the corridor. Kong Lan’s face was cold. She looked at Zhou Dayuan without any warmth. Her expression was only full of blame and resentment. “Since Lu Shaoming’s plane crash and return to T City, you have been accompanying him. For more than a month, Lu Shaoming has been dealing with your sister. I don’t believe that you did not realize his plans. Your sister is now disabled and ruined. Is that what a brother should do? Why didn’t you help Zhilei?”

Zhou Dayuan looked at Kong Lan. The face before him was unfamiliar. From the time he went to England to study at the age of 18 to the age of 32, the number of times he had met her was probably less than 20 times.

She had never flown to Britain to see him. She had at most called him during the Spring Festival, but she had never been so welcoming and warm as to ask him to go home and have a reunion dinner.

She had also known that he had been back in T City for a long time, but she didn’t even care about him.

Oh, there was some concern for him, regarding his marriage, to select the most suitable daughter-in-law for the Zhou family.

She had probably forgotten that he was her son.

“Mom, it’s not that I don’t want to help Zhilei, but that I don’t have the ability. I’ve tried to talk sense into her, but unfortunately, her love for Shaoming had turned into hatred, and she had chosen a path of no return. Regarding Shaoming’s case, it was indeed Zhilei’s wrongdoing. She almost killed Shaoming by collaborating with Tang Xueli. You don’t know what Shaoming and Ning Qing missed. Everyone should pay for their mistakes.”

“Enough!” Kong Lan’s face grew colder and colder. “I’m not standing here to listen to you lecture me about Zhilei’s mistakes. Pay the price? How can you say that? Is Zhilei not miserable now? Don’t you care about your sister at all?”

Zhou Dayuan closed his eyes and opened them again. “Mom, I’ll go. I’ll come to check on Zhilei regularly.”

They can’t see eye to eye, so even half a word was too much.

“You!” Kong Lan was trembling all over with anger. She Zhou Dayuan. “Dayuan, what’s your att.i.tude towards me? I’m your mother. I can finally see that since you dated Jian Han 12 years ago, you no longer respect the Zhou family. Your heart has been seduced and led astray by that seductress.”

“Mom!” Zhou Dayuan’s gentle face showed unprecedented seriousness. He interrupted her. “I’m going to tell you one last time — don’t insult her like that. You don’t have the right.”

Zhou Dayuan turned and left.

Kong Lan kept saying, “Dayuan, what kind of poison did that woman drug you with? Have you forgotten how she used to treat you? When you were in prison, she abandoned you. It was me. It was your father who paid someone to get you out. Where was that woman then?”

Zhou Dayuan ignored her completely and walked away.

Kong Lan was almost vomiting blood from anger.

Just then, there was a voice behind her. “Doctor Jian.”

Kong Lan looked back. Jian Han stood behind her. The woman was in a white coat and had a beautiful face. She hadn’t seen this woman for a few years. She had matured.

She had been called by a nurse walking past her just now.

Kong Lan looked at her and quickly laughed. Much as she wanted to, one really can’t avoid her enemy. She looked up and down at Jian Han with contempt. “Miss Jian, long time no see. You are now a…doctor?”

Jian Han stood up straight. She placed one of her hands in the pocket of her white coat and dropped another hand holding doc.u.ments down beside her. She was expressionless and did not speak.

Her indifference did not affect Kong Lan’s good mood. “Miss Jian, I mentioned you to my son just now…”

“Mmm,” Jian Han said, lifting her lips and laughing coldly. “I heard it. Mrs. Zhou, you know where I was at that time.”

Kong Lan froze, but she quickly recovered. She went up to Jian Han and murmured, “I never believed that you were sincere to my son! But I heard that your parents’ train derailed, and they died six years ago?”

Jian Han’s entire body suddenly started shaking. The deep scar in her heart was ripped apart so mercilessly that her eyes were instantly moist.
