After I caught the scumbag cheating, Mr. Xiao wanted to marry me

Chapter 398 Treat Her Like Air

Lu Chuan was blocked by her and didn't know how to respond for a moment. After a while, he stiffened his neck and said, "I'm busy with work for this family, so that you and the children can live a good life. You are a woman, and a woman's role is to take care of her husband and children. You didn't raise the children well, and this is your fault."

Tao Lan sneered, "Aren't you ashamed of saying that? The child is mine alone, and I only gave birth to him but didn't raise him. You, the hands-off shopkeeper, have it easy. Women stay at home to take care of their husbands and children, while men go out and have mistresses and indulge in debauchery?"

"Shut up, this is all in the past. Why are you bringing this up? I didn't bring them home, nor did I let them appear in front of you as an eyesore. Just look at other families in the circle and be content."

Lu Chuan's voice was angry.

Tao Lan was stunned by what she heard. So Lu Chuan still thought this was for her own good? If she hadn't found a way to get the medicine so that Lu Chuan couldn't sleep with women, who knows if he would have had an illegitimate child!

He even confidently said that it was for her own good, what a despicable man!

Tao Lan took a deep breath and suddenly forced a smile: "Okay, let's not talk about this. Let's talk about something else."

Her eyes moved down and fell on Lu Chuan's crotch.

"You blame me for telling Yunfan this secret, but don't forget, he is your biological son, not an outsider. The ingredients for the nourishing soup you've been drinking these days were all brought back by him."

"What?" Lu Chuan was stunned: "He brought it back?"

"Yes, I have been guarding you and serving you these days. Yunfan is not the only one managing the family company. He has tried his best to find the best tonic herbs for you. But you blame him and beat him. You beat the child like this. You are so cruel."

Tao Lan looked at the blood on the ground, her eyes red. "The child did make a mistake, but he was bewitched by someone. How could you beat him to death... You've always treated Yun Fan indifferently since he was a child. Are you blaming me?"

The situation when she was pregnant with Lu Yunfan was rather awkward, similar to Zhou Xinran's current situation.

She and Lu Chuan had sex while drunk on the day Shen Qiao and Li Yun got engaged, and the child was conceived that night.

Abortion was not popular in that era, so she deliberately revealed the news of her pregnancy in front of Li Yun and Shen Qiao, almost forcing Lu Chuan to marry her.

Tao Lan looked a little dazed when she thought of this past event.

Maybe this is why Lu Chuan is so strict with Yun Fan, to the point of being harsh.

It is obvious that Yun Qing is more of a jerk and unreliable than Yun Fan. He makes trouble every other day, but he never does anything to Yun Qing.

Thinking of this, Tao Lan's eyes turned red and she asked, "Is it because of this reason?"

Lu Chuan's expression was gloomy, and his eyes were dark, like a ball of thick ink.

He said calmly: "You think too much."

"Am I overthinking it, or do you just not want to admit it?" Tao Lan's tears fell, her expression miserable. "I just heard from afar that you wanted to kick Yunfan out of the house. You said you wanted to strangle Yunfan to death. Who would hate their own son so much? And you still say you don't!"

"You are emotionally unstable now. I don't want to talk to you about this." Lu Chuan was trying to leave in his wheelchair but was stopped by Tao Lan.

She was really emotional at the moment and insisted on getting an answer, as if she was possessed by a demon.

This has indeed been her obsession for decades.

Lu Chuan was impatient and pushed her away.

Tao Lan lost her balance and sat down on the ground. She felt a sharp pain in her tailbone and the slap marks on her face were burning.

She covered her chest with her hands, having difficulty breathing, and her throat seemed to be blocked by something. She looked at Lu Chuan with red eyes, as if she was sad and in disbelief.

Lu Chuan looked at his hand. He didn't expect that he had pushed so hard. He looked a little uncomfortable. "Everyone said you misunderstood. Come on, get up quickly. Don't sit on the ground and let people laugh at you."

He said that and awkwardly maneuvered his wheelchair away.

No apology.

Tao Lan looked at his back, her chest heaving, her red eyes revealing a hint of hatred.

"Auntie, why are you sitting on the ground? Get up quickly." Zhou Xinran hurried over and helped Tao Lan up from the ground, her face full of worry: "Did Uncle Lu hit you? That's too much. You've been married for so many years, how could he hit you?"

Tao Lan stared at her blankly, and when she said she wanted to argue with Lu Chuan, she suddenly came to her senses.

"It's nothing, just some quarrels between husband and wife."

She brushed aside what had just happened, and with a twinkle in her eyes, she asked, "Did you see Yun Fan just now? Did you get to talk?"

Zhou Xinran's eyes dimmed instantly, she shook her head, pursed her lips and said aggrievedly: "No, he ignored me."

Lu Yunfan didn't hate her, nor was he angry. He just treated her as air, as if he couldn't see her or hear her voice, as if she was a transparent person.

This is more sad than hating her.

Tao Lan sighed.

Is this retribution? Yun Fan has also embarked on the same old path as his father, and Zhou Xinran's situation is very similar to hers.

Even worse than her, at least Lu Chuan would not treat her as air.

An idea suddenly occurred to her: she wanted to help Zhou Xinran. Helping Zhou Xinran would be like helping herself back then.
