Chapter 886: It Was Sour

“I know what you want to ask.”

He interrupted Old Master Lu. To be exact, he wanted to stop him from bellowing. “Please don’t raise your voice,” he said. “You’re going to scare my children into coming into this world prematurely.”

He sighed gently and looked over to Ye Chuji.

“Su Qingdong has made a deal with me. If I give my blood to Su Muran, then Sun Yuhan’s reputation will be safe.”

Ye Chuji’s face turned red at once, as there was nothing more embarrassing to the Ye family than this. Everyone present understood Lu Yi’s concern, as he was not doing it just for the Lu family; it was for Ye Jianguo as well. It was because if Sun Yuhan really did get into trouble, Ye Jianguo would be most affected by it.

It was true that Sun Yuhan was not that important to all of them, as they did not feel particularly close to her since she had cut into their long-established relationships all of a sudden.

However, it was completely different for Ye Jianguo. She was his weak point, so much so that he could never tolerate any harm come to her. From how protective Ye Jianguo was of Sun Yuhan, it was possible that Ye Jianguo might risk his life for her. Moreover, he had a heart disease, what would they do if he really fought himself to death?

Old Master Lu reached out blindly in search of something. Then, an apple presented itself in front of him. Without thinking, he grabbed the apple and hurled it, causing it to smash into the ground next to Lu Yi’s legs.

Lu Yi lifted his face and realized that while Yan Huan was still eating her apple, but the one at her right was missing.

“It seems that they haven’t paid back their accrued debts on buying the blood yet, right?” asked Yan Huan as she took another bite of her apple.

Even though the apple did not cost much, her husband’s blood did. Even if she ever agreed to let someone else take advantage of it, it would never be the Su family. She must extract everything that she deserved from them, even if it was only one or two cents.

Lu Yi had the urge to place his hands around Yan Huan’s neck and choke her. How could she just say anything she wanted without considering the current chaotic situation?

“Yes, I will definitely ask them for it,” said Lu Jin as he stood up and dragged the still-fuming Ye Shuyun away. This hasty retreat was to prevent her from beating up her son when she could not take it anymore.

As for Qin Xiaoyue, she had done so much yelling that she might have gotten addicted to it. However, the main problems were still unsolved, her son was still lying in the hospital bed and she had gotten nothing for herself.

“Dad, but Lu Qin is still in the hospital...” Qin Xiaoyue probed Old Master Lu tentatively, as she really wanted a conclusion by today.

“He deserved it,” said Old Master Lu, followed by a snort. He was so annoyed at the situation that everyone could practically sense it from his breath. It was such a shameful thing, not only to Lu Qin himself, but also to the Lu family as well.

Qin Xiaoyue’s demands were choked in her throat immediately as she heard what he said.

“How can you blame Lu Qin for everything? If no one seduced him, he wouldn’t have gotten hurt so badly. All of you are healthy and fine, but my son is the one who almost died.”

Ye Chuji could hear that Qin Xiaoyue was actually insinuating the Ye family. The responsibility for everything that Sun Yuhan had done now had to be shouldered by her uncle. His sister was such a good girl, a truly sophisticated woman who deserved all the fondness and compliments she got. Somehow, she gave birth to such a girl who brought shame upon the whole Ye family.

“Uncle Lu, I gotta go now, I still have something to attend to.” He stood up, nodded toward Old Master Lu and left quickly. There was nothing he could do even if he stayed, as he was certainly not allowing Lu Qin to marry Sun Yuhan.

Lu Qin was nothing. He could not even be compared to one of Lu Yi’s fingers. How was it possible for his dad to allow his granddaughter, whom he had searched so hard for, to marry a guy like this.?

Little did he know that Qin Xiaoyue was thinking the exact opposite.

Anyway, her son had been dragged down from the horse by Su Yuhan and was half dead right now. The Ye family had to be responsible for it, as well as the Su family.

Since they had fallen out with the Su family, they could not rely on the Su family anymore. However, the Ye family was a hundred or even a thousand times more powerful than Su family, and the old man from the Ye family had decided to leave half of his property to Sun Yuhan, even though she was his granddaughter with a different surname.

Old Master Lu looked upward, and then at Yan Huan, who was still munching on the apple.

“Why are you still standing here?”

“Grandpa, I’m sitting.” Yan Huan then took another bite of the apple. The sound of her crunching the apple made everyone’s heart skip a beat.

“Stop talking nonsense, get back to farming.”

Old Master Lu coughed as he continued, “Go back quickly, stop annoying me here.”

“Alright.” Yan Huan stood up. She wanted to know whether those seedlings that she had stepped on in the past few days were able to grow.

She walked past Lu Yi and ignored him.

Lu Yi bent over to pick up the apple on the floor, and placed it on the table before he followed after her. Old Master Lu and Qin Xiaoyue were the only ones left in the hall. The one and only person in this world who dared to shout in front of Old Master Lu was probably just Yan Huan. Qin Xiaoyue certainly dared not argue with Old Master Lu by herself.

Like a mouse in front of a cat, when she saw Old Master Lu, she could only run away from him.

Yan Huan went to the farm and walked around, although she was not there to tend to the plants. However, she accidentally stepped on several seedlings again, which made her realize that the farming staff were glaring at her in resentment. She had no choice but to avoid the fields, to prevent her feet from killing the precious seedlings that they had so painstakingly cultivated.

She turned around and saw Lu Yi, who was standing not far away from her. All along, he had never let Yan Huan out of his sight.

She snorted in her mind, then turned around so that she could return home to sleep.

When she finally woke up, she saw Lu Yi hunched over a table beside her, going through some documents.

Lu Yi put down his pen and stood up. Then, he walked over to Yan Huan and sat beside her.

“Are you still mad?”

He was quite helpless against Yan Huan’s temper. Especially after she got pregnant, her temper was getting more volatile, so he could not perceive her mood as easily as before.

Yan Huan yawned and laid back on the pillow behind her. Somehow, her eyes were not dazed from sleep, but was instead much more awake than usual.

“Su Muran has a good life indeed.”

She propped up her face next to her pillow and said in a sour tone, “Her husband had cheated on her, but she’s getting an exclusive blood donation from the one-and-only Prosecutor Lu...”

“That’s enough,” Lu Yi said while pinching her face. “Are you performing an opera? Why do I smell a sour tinge of jealousy?”

historical

“Yeah, I’m dying of the sourness,” Yan Huan said as she rolled her eyes at him. She clearly knew that the reason behind Lu Yi’s agreement to sell blood to the Su family was not for Su Muran’s sake. In fact, Su Muran’s death was not of his concern. He was doing all of this just for Ye Jianguo. But even so, this was not an acceptable reason for Lu Yi to continue selling his blood.
