Chapter 864: Chapter 864: Sister, Please Forgive Me (Part 6)
Madam Gu wore a stern expression as she glanced at the coldness on Lu Wanwan’s face, then at the woman kneeling on the ground.
Finally, she fixed her gaze on Lu Kexin, frowning, “Stand up and speak clearly!”
Gu Mingze quickly helped Lu Kexin to her feet.
Lu Kexin sobbed, supporting her belly as she stood up.
Constantly reminding everyone that she was pregnant.
“Madam Gu, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hide it.” Lu Kexin wiped the tears from her face, “She, she is my half-sister from my father’s side, and we haven’t seen each other for many years. I… In short, I owe her an apology!”
“What do you mean ‘in short, owe an apology’!” Madam Gu was somewhat annoyed by the vagueness of it all.
A perfectly good day had been ruined at this moment.
She didn’t even know which of the two should be held accountable for it.
“My mother was once her stepmother. My sister and I were very young at that time, naturally, there was a lot of discord; our relationship has always been… not very good.” Lu Kexin carefully watched Lu Wanwan’s reaction.
“Is that all?”
Sisters from different mothers being at odds isn’t unusual.
Is it necessary to kneel over it?
“Also… my mother is suspected… suspected…” Lu Kexin stammered, “of being involved in the death of my sister’s mother.”
She looked pitiful, as if it was extremely difficult to say it directly.
“Suspected of what?” Gu Xue raised her eyebrows curiously, looking down from her tall stance, “Murder??”
Lu Kexin’s face worsened, “In short, my mother is already dead. I believe before she died, she realized what she did wrong back then. But I know because of this, my sister probably won’t forgive me in this lifetime, even if I had nothing to do with it, my mother’s death probably won’t calm the anger in her heart.”
Some present already remembered that Lu Wanwan’s father was Lu Jingtian.
Lu Jingtian’s wife had an affair, tried to harm Lu Wanwan by self-harm, was accused of murder, and eventually committed suicide before going to prison; this was something everybody in the circle knew.
Only Madam Gu seemed to be the only one unaware of it all.
“It’s only right for me to kneel before my sister, I don’t seek her forgiveness for my mother’s mistakes, but…” Lu Kexin placed her hand on her belly, her tears unstoppable, “I beg you, Madam Gu, Mingze and I truly love each other. I know without my sister’s approval, I might never be able to marry Mingze… but I really love him, and I don’t want my unborn child to come into this world without a mother or a father!”
Madam Gu stomped her cane heavily on the ground, “What nonsense? Whether you marry Mingze or not, what does it have to do with her approval? Is she your parent or Mingze’s parent?”
“Because… because…” Lu Kexin mustered the greatest courage, looking up at Gu Annan.
She dared not say the following words, but the direction of her gaze was very telling.
In the past, Gu Annan had sent people to chase her, intending to bring her back.
Upon seeing those icy, penetrating eyes, her voice began to tremble, and she dared not say more.
Madam Gu glanced suspiciously at Gu Annan, roughly understanding a bit.
However, since the matter did not directly involve Lu Kexin, there seemed no need to push things to the extreme.
“Alright, enough with the noise. Your business with Mingze has nothing to do with the two of them.” Madam Gu’s mood had been disturbed, she was rather unhappy, but seeing the pregnant Lu Kexin kneeling and appealing with such sincerity, she felt somewhat moved.
