Chapter 68 - 68: Lu Li’s MotherChapter 68: Lu Li’s Mother
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Lu Huai’s mother married Lu Yu, the Lu family’s business was just starting.
It was because of the strong alliance of Lu Huai’s mother that the Lu family was able to occupy the top position among the four great families in the capital.
However, after Lu Huai’s mother gave birth to Lu Huai, she started to turn weak.
Later on, she even suffered from postnatal depression.
Lu Yu did not stay by her side. Instead, he used the excuse of being busy with work to not see her.
Slowly, Lu Huai’s mother, Bai Jie, also noticed that something was wrong. She asked someone to investigate Lu Yu. Following that, she found out that Lu Yu had a mistress outside of his family.
Knowing all of this further aggravated her illness, and her health worsened.
When Lu Huai was less than two years old, Bai Jie passed away due to poor health.
At that time, the Bai family came over to make a scene and even asked someone to check on Bai Jie’s cause of death.
After finding out that Bai Jie had indeed died due to her poor health, the Bai family stopped pestering them.
However, Grandpa Bai had already made an agreement with Grandpa Lu that the shares that belonged to Bai Jie had to be inherited by Lu Huai.
At the same time, half of Lu Yu’s shares had to be inherited by Lu Huai in the future.
In the end, Grandpa Lu gave all his shares to Lu Huai.
It was as if the whole Lu family’s fortune was in Lu Huai’s hands.
This was only the beginning.
Later on, Lu Yu brought Lu Li and his mother to the Lu Family. Lu Huai had matured early because of his father’s favoritism.
After that, whether it was his studies or his competitions, he was one of the best. Lu Li couldn’t compare to Lu Huai at all, and slowly, Lu Li stopped trying.
However, Pei Xin knew that Lu Li wasn’t willing to give up.
When they were dating, Lu Li always blamed everyone else and never blamed himself.
He believed that Lu Huai was protected by Grandpa Lu and Grandpa Bai. They gave Lu Huai the best conditions, which was why Lu Huai was always ahead of him.
He did not think that he was inferior to Lu Huai once those were stripped away.
However, Lu Li had never thought that he was also a son of the Lu Family and could afford the best resources.
The only true reason why he couldn’t beat Lu Huai was because he wasn’t as skilled.
After thinking about this, Pei Xin looked at Lu Huai with a conflicted expression.
There were some things that she didn’t know if she should tell Lu Huai.
Was it right for her to help Lu Huai?
“What are you thinking about? Tell me.” Lu Huai saw Pei Xin’s hesitation.
Pei Xin pursed his lips and made up his mind.
“Before your mother Bai Jie died, Zhou Jing went to the ward to see her and said something that it was because an event worsened her condition.
“Moreover, Zhou Jing once bought it from the medical staff and tampered with her infusion.
“These actions won’t directly cause damage to Bai Jie’s body, but it did increase her mental illness.
“A small change in medication can cause a destructive blow.”
Lu Huai clenched his fists tightly. He stared straight at Pei Xin. “So you always knew that Zhou Jing and Lu Li were the murderers, right? Why didn’t you ever think of telling me this? Every time I think of my mother, my heart aches so much that I can’t sleep.”
Pei Xin looked at him with guilt. “I’m sorry. I used to be Lu Li’s girlfriend. We didn’t know each other. 1 couldn’t tell you even if 1 wanted to. Besides, Zhou Jing was the one who did it. It had nothing to do with Lu Li. At that point, I thought Lu Li was innocent.”
Lu Huai took a deep breath and quickly figured out the crux of the matter.
He calmed himself down and said, “I know. I understand what position you were in back then. You couldn’t have told me. Now that you told me the truth, it made me understand one thing.”
“What is it?” Pei Xin asked him.
“You suffered a lot of torture when you entered the prison, right?” Lu Huai asked.
“Yes, these people must have been hired by Lu Li.” Pei Xin nodded.
“According to what I found out, Lu Li did find some people to make your life in prison difficult,” Lu Huai said. “But Lu Li was never so cruel to you. You almost died many times in prison, right? These are all from Zhou Jing. When I was investigating the cause of my mother’s death, I found traces of her hiring people to torture you..”
