Yu Nong was merely faint-hearted, and An Zhizhi's condition was not serious. They entered the hospital and lay in the treatment pods for a while, recovering quickly.
However, even though the people were fine, the matter was not over. Madam Yu's face was drawn, and she was clearly unhappy.
They rode in a hovercar all the way back.
An Zhizhi's father was the dean of the Botanical Institute of the Academy of Sciences, and his home was also in the residential complex. Such an incident had occurred today, and it was getting late. An Zhizhi got out of the car and turned to leave. Her displeasure was evident even from her retreating figure.
However, Lu Wanqing did not care if An Zhizhi was unhappy. It had nothing to do with her. She could tolerate anything, but she absolutely would not tolerate anyone bullying Shushu.
Madam Yu walked at the front, with Yu Nong following closely behind. Lu Wanqing held Little Yu Shushu's hand, walking at the very back, with Aunt Zhang nervously trailing beside them.
Upon entering the living room, Madam Yu turned her head and shot a cold glance at Lu Wanqing, then raised her hand as if to slap her.
Yu Nong quickly stepped forward to stop his mother. "Mom!"
Yu Nong was a man after all. He looked like a bookworm usually, but he was stronger than Madam Yu. He held his mother's hand, immobilizing her.
"Get out!"
"Get out of my house!"
"You are not welcome here!!!"
Madam Yu angrily unleashed her fury on Lu Wanqing, shouting loudly.
Yu Nong's brow furrowed tightly in anxiety. "Mom, the matter isn't clear yet. Don't speak rashly."
"Tell her to get out! This is my house, I don't welcome her, and she irritates me just by being here!!!" Madam Yu's face turned pale with anger, and she roared.
"It's not Mommy's fault, it was Aunt Zhizhi who broke my plants first. Mommy got angry and hit Aunt Zhizhi," Little Yu Shushu, seeing her mother being wronged, also felt miserable and quickly stepped in front of her mother, explaining anxiously to her grandmother.
Madam Yu gasped for breath, her face turning flushed, an unhealthy kind of redness.
Aunt Zhang, seeing this, was instantly startled. She quickly took medicine from her pocket, her hands trembling as she produced a pill. She carefully handed it to Madam Yu. "Madam, please take this pill and calm down. You mustn't get angry, you mustn't get angry."
Madam Yu opened her mouth and took the pill. The feeling of breathlessness finally passed, but the anger radiating from her remained evident. Madam Yu lowered her gaze to Little Yu Shushu, her eyes as cold and sharp as they had been towards Lu Wanqing just moments before!
"You are not welcome in my home either. I never expected your arrival. When you came to my house, seeing you every day..."
Little Yu Shushu's eyes suddenly turned red, and then she burst into tears, crying loudly.
Shushu was just a child, so young. She had been disliked by her grandmother since she was little. Even though she knew her grandmother's temper was bad due to the mutated plant virus, other children's grandmothers at kindergarten loved them dearly, while only hers hated her. And her grandmother had even said she never expected her arrival. She couldn't hold back any longer and broke down sobbing.
Lu Wanqing's heart suddenly ached. She hastily knelt down and pulled Little Shushu into her arms. She placed her right hand on Shushu's small head, pressing the little one's head into her chest, and gently comforted her, "It's okay, Shushu. Mommy loves you, Mommy will always love you. You are Mommy's precious treasure forever."
Little Yu Shushu's tears were cold, falling one by one. They were light, but they landed in Lu Wanqing's eyes like pebbles striking the very center of her heart, causing immense pain.
"Get out! All of you, get out! Get out of the Yu family!!!" Madam Yu shouted furiously.
"Fine, we'll leave!!!" Lu Wanqing also lost her temper. She stood up and glared at Madam Yu unhappily.
It was true that Lu Wanqing had been poisoned, but she couldn't stand seeing Shushu bullied like this. Her heart was breaking watching her daughter cry.
Lu Wanqing glanced sideways at Yu Nong, who looked anxious beside them, then knelt down again. She looked into Little Yu Shushu's eyes, meeting her gaze, and asked earnestly, "Shushu, will you go with Mommy? Mommy has another house outside. We still have a home. Would Shushu be willing to come and live with Mommy at my place?"
Little Yu Shushu was still crying, her grape-like eyes still welling with tears. Suddenly hearing her mother's question, she was stunned. Her little heart pounded in her chest, and she looked at her mother in shock.
Lu Wanqing waited for a moment, but seeing the little one didn't answer, she decided not to wait any longer. She stood up and then said to Yu Nong, "Could you come upstairs? We need to talk privately."
When Lu Wanqing said "talk privately," she meant a serious negotiation. She felt that the situation in the Yu family was very wrong. According to Yu Nong and Shushu's accounts, Madam Yu should have been a very gentle person before, and she was good to her husband and children. She had been poisoned while trying to save her husband and children.
From this, Lu Wanqing felt that Madam Yu must have loved her husband and children deeply. Now that Madam Yu's husband, Yu Nong's father, was deceased, leaving only Yu Nong, it was logical that even if she had been infected with the mutated plant virus, her closest, most cherished person should be Yu Nong. But what about An Zhizhi?
What qualified An Zhizhi to be able to coax the temperamental Madam Yu, who had a bad personality due to the mutated virus, into happiness every single time? Moreover, Madam Yu obeyed her words and cared about her more than Yu Nong. Madam Yu constantly pressured Yu Nong to marry An Zhizhi, completely disregarding Yu Nong's feelings. And Shushu...
If Madam Yu truly loved her son, she shouldn't have said such things to Shushu. After all, she was the child of the person she loved most. Regardless of how this child came into the world, she was still family, the child of her most beloved son. Love for her son would extend to his child, so she should have some affection for Shushu.
"Yu Nong, I think there's something wrong with your family situation," Lu Wanqing said sternly to Yu Nong in the study.
Yu Nong looked confused. "What?"
Lu Wanqing took a deep breath and recounted her discoveries over the past period.
Yu Nong frowned. He also seemed puzzled. "I don't understand either."
"Mom was really good before," Yu Nong couldn't help but defend his mother again.
Yu Nong hesitated for a moment, then said, "There are still some recordings from when I was little at home."
Lu Wanqing was momentarily stunned by this.
Yu Nong raised his wrist and opened his optical computer. He operated it a few times.
Lu Wanqing's optical computer vibrated slightly, indicating a message had arrived.
Lu Wanqing glanced at Yu Nong and then opened her optical computer.
Since she wasn't connected to the star net and wasn't using any projection equipment, Lu Wanqing simply used her optical computer to create a small projection in front of her. The pixels were blurry, lacking strong immersion, but as she watched the video, she fell silent.
In the video, Madam Yu was very young and beautiful. The person next to her was likely her husband, Yu Nong's father, who appeared to be a refined and gentle man.
To be precise, both Yu Nong's father and Madam Yu were very gentle people. Standing together, they exuded a picturesque beauty. Especially with a small bundle between them. Looking closely, the radiant child's features strongly resembled Yu Nong, and must have been Yu Nong as a child.
