Bite Your Fingertips

iyun.”

His expression sluggish, Chu Yu suspected he’d heard wrong.
“What’s she coming here for?”

After asking, Chu Yu answered himself, “Is it because Iris is pregnant? Is she trying to… win you over?”

Chu Yu quickly understood.

In the past, Fang Weiyun treated Lu Shi badly because Lu Shi was her “own child”, Lu Shaochu wouldn’t have a second child, and her position as Madam Lu was very stable.
As a result, she’d vent all her anger on Lu Shi and blame him successively when she flared up.

Later, Lu Shi learned that his biological mother was someone else and no longer got close to her.
Still, in that short period of time, she was able to stay calm.

But now, it was different.
A young, beautiful, and scheming woman, pregnant with Lu Shaochu’s child, was directly aiming for the position of Mrs.
Lu.
She felt that she couldn’t contend anymore and gradually spiraled into confusion.
Only then did she think of going to and winning over Lu Shi.

Chu Yu calmed down and handed a glass of water to Lu Shi.
“Drink, you must drink more hot water when you’re sick!”

Lu Shi took it and drank all the water obediently.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

Chu Yu pointed to the bedroom, turned around, and ran inside like the wind.

Lu Shi got up and opened the door.

Fang Weiyun was wearing a white couture cashmere coat and deerskin-lace gloves, but her hair wasn’t tucked up as usual and was instead draped down.
She didn’t put makeup on, making her look pale and haggard.

She was originally covering her mouth and nose with her hands as if to block out some unpleasant smell.
After the metal door in front of her opened, she put down her hand very quickly and looked at Lu Shi with a sincere expression.

Lu Shi wore a loose black sweater, which in contrast, made his skin extremely white, and his lips bloodless.
He stood at the door with an indifferent expression and no intention to let Fang Weiyun enter.

This was his mother’s house.

Fang Weiyun glanced inside the room, her meaning obvious.
“Lu Shi—”

Lu Shi only questioned, “What is it?”

Fang Weiyun clenched her handbag tightly, her eyes quickly turning red.
“Lu Shi, i-it’s vacation right now, do you want to go home and visit? Me, your father and even grandpa miss you very much.
It’s a New Year, we’re all worried about you living outside alone, we…”

She burst into tears as she spoke and her voice became choked with sobs.
“Mom—”

Seeing Lu Shi’s expression, she changed the way she addressed herself.
“I’m really having a hard time these days, your father hasn’t been home for a long time…”

On the mottled wall, there were messy old stains, various small advertisements for engraving stamps and lock openers, as well as numbers and birdie1 drawn messily by children.

Lu Shi leaned against the door frame.
Because he fell ill, he became a tad bit thin.
With his deep dark eyes, he watched Fang Weiyun’s performance from beginning to end with a hint of mockery.

Fang Weiyun cried for a while but had no choice then to slowly hold back her tears when she didn’t get any response from Lu Shi.

She changed her approach.

“Apart from that, this time I came here in person to tell you something.”

Fang Weiyun spoke softly while worriedly looking at Lu Shi.
“This news might make you sad, but for your own good, I still have to tell you.
Your father, he let a woman outside become pregnant with his child.”

After Fang Weiyun finished speaking, she stared at Lu Shi’s face, futilely trying to find expressions of shock, panic, embarrassment or any such feelings.

But unlike what she expected, Lu Shi didn’t even change his posture, he just replied, “I see.” Extremely indifferent.

Before this, Fang Weiyun had been suppressing her emotions.
If it hadn’t been her last resort, she wouldn’t have come to Qingchuan Road to find Lu Shi at all.

But at this moment, Lu Shi’s attitude was like oil poured on fire, causing the anger accumulating in her heart to burn up instantly.

“Lu Shi! Do you know what this means? It means we’re all done for! We’re finished! You’re no longer the only heir to the Lu family, and your position will soon be snatched away! You’ll get nothing either!”

Her voice was so sharp that it was ear-piercing.
She was talking about Lu Shi, but it was she who was becoming more and more frightened.
Her knuckles were turning white as her grasp on the handbag tightened, so much so that it even trembled.

The winter wind blew in from outside the corridor, bone-chilling cold.

Lu Shi raised the corner of his mouth, but there wasn’t any hint of a smile.
His words were distinct.
“You didn’t think this through.”

Fang Weiyun was slow to react for a few seconds before lifting her head and looking at Lu Shi.
“What?”

“So what if Lu Shaochu has a child outside? I’m 18 years older than him.
He’ll only be born, while I’m already an adult.
Mrs.
Lu, say, why would I be afraid?”

Fang Weiyun opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

She watched Lu Shi who was standing against the backlight and subconsciously took a half step back.
Her high-heeled shoes stepped on the concrete floor and made a clear ‘da’ sound.

At this moment, she felt that Lu Shi was extraordinarily unfamiliar.

Obviously, it shouldn’t be like this, it couldn’t be like this, this wasn’t the result she wanted to obtain on this trip!

Her tone becoming flustered, Fang Weiyun repeatedly said, “Lu Shi, you’ll help me, right? You will definitely—”

“Mrs.
Lu.”

Interrupted, Fang Weiyun wasn’t unhappy at all, rather a bit of hope rose in her eyes, and even her expression lit up.

Her eyes widened slightly, looking expectantly at Lu Shi, waiting for what he was going to say next.

Lu Shi’s voice was soft yet his eyes were entirely cold with malice.
“‘The filthy blood of a bastard flows through your body’.
It seems that you’ve already forgotten how you treated me before.
Mrs.
Lu, how naive are you to think that I will help you?”
