Chapter 1274 - Is Lu Jinnan Blind? (1/2)

“You asked me to apologize, and I did… After throwing my face, what have we obtained? We obtained the outcome of not being allowed to appear before Lu Jinnan again!” Hong Jinyun’s mother poked Hong Jinyun’s head angrily. “Why are you so stupid? What are we going to do now? You incompetent fool!”

Hong Jinyun quietly gazed at Lu Jinnan and Bai Xiaonian’s back views as they left together hand-in-hand.

She had thought that Lu Jinnan merely deliberately acted that way before Bai Xiaonian. She had thought that Lu Jinnan would at least turn back and throw her a reassuring gaze!

Alas, Lu Jinnan simply left with Bai Xiaonian like that, not even bothering to look at Hong Jinyun from his peripheral vision. Even after he walked a long distance away, he didn’t care to turn around and cast her the gaze she had anticipated.

Hong Jinyun’s eyes reddened. Not because of her unreasonable mother’s tantrum, but because… there was no longer a place for her in Lu Jinnan’s heart!

Since Lu Jinnan could say something like that today, perhaps in his heart… there wasn’t a single trace of her anymore, right?

The ironic thing was, before coming, she had thought that at least… in Lu Jinnan’s heart, she occupied the softest spot!

She had wanted to use this to move Lu Jinnan, to get him to take care of her mother until the end of her days after Hong Jinyu passed away.

Seeing the way Lu Jinnan behaved, it already took him great restraint to hold himself back from killing her mother, much less get him to take care of her mother until her final days.

Hong Jinyun closed her eyes, which felt terribly painful.

Did she think too highly of herself?

Hong Jinyun’s mother was still nagging incessantly. “Other than being slightly younger than you, in what way is Bai Xiaonian comparable to you? Is Lu Jinnan blind? Look at the way Bai Xiaonian spoke earlier, did she show any respect to her elders? To think Lu Jinnan is so protective of such a b*tch with such a poor upbringing!”

Hong Jinyun couldn’t heed a word of what she said.

“I’ve said we should think of a way to get rid of that slab of meat in Bai Xiaonian’s stomach! With that slab of meat… there’s no way Lu Jinnan would divorce Bai Xiaonian. You’re too merciful, saying what, the child is innocent? What child… That’s merely a slab of meat! If Lu Jinnan wants children… you can pay for a surrogate mother later on!”

“Mom… stop it!” Hong Jinyun no longer wished to hear her mother’s nagging. Her voice raised several pitches, and she covered her ears with both hands, yet it couldn’t block out the image of Lu Jinnan resolutely leaving in her mind. She saw it over and over again.

Hong Jinyun felt like her heart was being torn to shreds…

Clearly, she no longer had any fantasies about Lu Jinnan. After all, she was about to die!

If she hadn’t met Lu Jinnan, Hong Jinyun might have already ended her painful life.

But now, why was she feeling such terrible heartache?

“You’re asking me to stop it? I spoke, and you didn’t even follow my instructions. Much less if I don’t say anything at all…” Hong Jinyun’s mother’s chest was heaving violently. “Tell me, what are we going to do now? Don’t tell me we should do as you say… and leave just like this, not getting anything in the future?”

Hong Jinyun felt super vexed. She forced herself to calm down. “If we don’t leave… should we be waiting for that assistant of Jinnan’s to come and chase us away instead?”

Hong Jinyun’s mother knew she couldn’t force Hong Jinyun. After all, she was pinning all her hopes on Hong Jinyun to take care of her future.
