Mr. Lu, don't be arrogant.

Chapter 152 Lilac in the Mud

"Wanying..."

Grandma Chu still wanted to escape, but Mu Wanying did not give her the chance.

She said bluntly, "Grandma, the window paper will eventually be broken. Rather than having it broken roughly by others, it is better to break it gently yourself."

"I……"

"We're not here to embarrass you today. I have a request for you. Grandma, I won't hide anything and will tell you directly. Ever since you showed that shocked expression when you first saw Lin Feng, I have been wondering why you were like that and what your relationship with Lin Feng is."

"Wanying, what's the relationship between me and Xiao Lu? He's a young master from a wealthy family, and I'm just a little woman from a remote village. What kind of relationship can there be between us?"

Grandma Chu's eyes flickered.

Mu Wanying smiled faintly, "Grandma, we're not stupid, and we have the ability to verify things. We're asking you sincerely now, not trying to embarrass you. Why are you doing this? You have to tell me sooner or later, so do you have to wait until we present the evidence to you before you speak?"

"I……"

"Grandma, tell me, just think of it as me begging you!"

Mu Wanying's attitude was sincere.

She dragged a few stools over and skillfully transferred the charcoal from the stove into the brazier. After adding some charcoal, she pulled Lu Linfeng to sit around the brazier and invited Grandma Chu to sit down as well.

During this time, Lu Linfeng said nothing and was still carefully observing Grandma Chu's expression.

Grandma Chu was already forced by Mu Wanying to have nowhere to escape, and when she met Lu Linfeng's sharp eyes, she felt even more helpless. After a psychological struggle, she finally compromised; evil.

After a long sigh, Grandma Chu asked Mu Wanying, "Tell me, what do you want to know?"

Mu Wanying breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked her first question, "Did you think of someone the first time you saw Lin Feng?"

"Yes!"

Grandma Chu nodded heavily

No hiding.

Lu Linfeng and Mu Wanying both raised their heads, and as if they were in sync, they stared at Grandma Chu without blinking.

“Who is that person!”

This question was asked by Lu Linfeng.

He was a little excited, a little hesitant, and even a little uneasy.

Granny Chu glanced at Lu Linfeng for a few times, then sighed deeply and replied in a deep voice, "She is my daughter. To be more precise, my adopted daughter."

"what is her name?"

Mu Wanying asked immediately.

Grandma Chu answered without thinking.

"Her name is Hongyun, because when she was born, there were large red clouds floating in the sky. Her mother thought it was very beautiful, so she named her Hongyun."

The two words "Hongyun" made Lu Linfeng instantly disappointed.

A pair of big hands couldn't help but hold Mu Wanying's small hand tightly.

Mu Wanying was calmer than him. She gently patted Lu Linfeng's big hand. After thinking for a moment, she asked Grandma Chu again: "Does she have any other names? How old is she? Where is she now?"

"Have!"

Grandma Chu nodded.

When Lu Linfeng heard this, his lost eyes suddenly brightened up again, "What's your name?"

"Lilac. That's the name she gave herself after she went out to work. She said lilacs are beautiful and she likes them very much. She wanted to be a lilac plant."

As Grandma Chu recalled the past, a look of sadness gradually appeared on her wrinkled face.

Lu Linfeng, who was standing beside her, was so shocked by the word "Lilac" that he almost fell off the stool. He quickly repeated Mu Wanying's previous question, "How old is she? Where is she now?"

"She's now..." Granny Chu pinched her fingers and told Lu Linfeng, "She's forty-five. I don't know where she is. We've let her down. She's angry. Probably... she'll never come back."

"Is it because of Lin Feng or because of Axia?" Mu Wanying asked directly without hiding anything.

Lu Linfeng was fine, perhaps he saw something from Axia's eyes and eyebrows.

Granny Chu looked at her in shock, "You...you...how did you know?"

"I can tell. Grandma, please tell me. No matter what the truth is, I won't tell Axia without your permission. You can rest assured. I'm here just to help Lin Feng untie his knot. I don't want him to live in pain."

Mu Wanying was very sincere and briefly mentioned to Grandma Chu what Lu Heng had said about criticizing Lu Linfeng.

After saying that, he said to Grandma Chu again, "Grandma, please! I really don't mean to embarrass you, or any of you. I just want an answer, a pertinent answer."

"Hey!"

Grandma Chu sighed heavily.

After taking a long breath, she raised her hand and patted Lu Linfeng's shoulder.

"Child, don't listen to what others say. Hongyun has taken some wrong paths, but they were never her own choices. She's a good girl, but she just has a bad fate!"

After Grandma Chu said this, Mu Wanying and Lu Linfeng pricked up their ears and stopped interrupting her.

"It's all my fault. I'm the one who got her into trouble! Her mother gave her to me to take care of before she died, but I didn't take good care of her. Instead, I got her into trouble!"

"She has been well-behaved, sensible, and smart since she was young. She can learn anything quickly, but I don't have the ability to support her. Instead, I force her to go out to work and earn money at such a young age."

As she spoke, Grandma Chu began to choke up.

"She was only fourteen when she dropped out of school to work. She was still a child, but she went to the big city to work hard to support her family and earn money to pay for the medical treatment of our deceased son."

"But this world is too dangerous. She's just a little girl with no special skills. And she's beautiful, like a flower, so she was quickly targeted."

Having said this, Lu Linfeng suddenly held Mu Wanying's hand tightly, using some force.

Isn’t Mu Wanying the same?

I have already breathed a sigh of relief for the mother-in-law I have never met.

Grandma Chu paused for a moment and continued speaking.

"She didn't want to obey, nor did she want to accept her fate. She tried everything to hide and escape, but in front of those powerful people, it was ultimately useless. She was forced to take that path."

"She was only seventeen at the time! She was just a seventeen-year-old child! She struggled desperately, tried desperately to change, but what was the use? All she got in return was scars again and again!"

"But she never told us. Every time she came home, she brought money, a smile, and was so well-behaved and sensible. It wasn't until I saw the injuries on her body and forced her to do so that she threw herself into my arms and told me those things."

"I was furious, but what could I do? The only thing I could think of was to move with her and her family, far away, to a place where no one knew me, but..."

Grandma Chu's tears were already rolling down.

She burst into tears. "But once you're involved with some people or things, you can never escape. After living quietly here for two years, Hongyun was forcibly taken away by a man. When she came back, it was already half a year later. Her belly was already showing, and a few months later she gave birth to a chubby, fair little boy."

"That little boy... is... me?" Lu Linfeng's voice trembled a little.
