880: Don't Look Back

Don't Look Back

The child was not her patient, so she would not use her medical system to scan his physical condition. However, from her experience, she could tell that the child was not healthy.1

"What did you say? What paternity test? Why are you spouting nonsense about my child's health? He is fine; it is only a fever. What's the big deal about a child running a fever? Which child won't get sick?" Lu Weihua knew Mrs Lu and Lu Xiaoxiao, but he did not know the woman who was with them. He shouted impatiently when the woman rambled about something he did not understand.

"That's all I have to say." When Jiang Yao saw the man's attitude, she did not want to talk to him. She turned to Chen Lanying and said, "A mother should be strong; you are a mother. I've told you everything I need to tell you. Whether you do it or not is your own business."

After she said that, Jiang Yao slapped Chen Lanying's hand away. She and Lu Xiaoxiao protected Mrs Lu from both sides as they walked toward the shops.

"Auntie Lu!" Chen Lanying looked desperate when she saw that Mrs Lu was about to leave.

"She doesn't even care about you, yet you're still trying to fawn over her?" Lu Weihua sneered, "You don't even show such respect to my mother!"

"Did you hear what that woman said just now? If you don't believe that our son is yours, then let's go to the hospital to do the test!" Chen Lanying said.

"A paternity test?" A fat woman snorted. "Which of you have heard of such a thing? Anyway, I've traveled around the world, but I've never heard of it! Also, do you know who that woman was? Do you believe everything she says? She is Lu Xingzhi's wife. Why would she show you kindness? You're such a gullible woman! It doesn't matter whether you're married or not!"

That fat woman was none other than the middleman who had introduced Chen Lanying and Lu Xingzhi back then. In the county, everyone called her a matchmaker.

Ever since Lu Xingzhi and Chen Lanying broke off their engagement, that fat woman hated both of their families.

She hated the Chen family and Chen Lanying because Chen Lanying had dated another man while she was engaged to Lu Xingzhi. Then, she had broken off her engagement with Lu Xingzhi. Chen Lanying thought that Lu Xingzhi had no future because the army had discharged him, and his legs were broken. However, Lu Xingzhi had been completely fine. It was apparent that Chen Lanying had changed her mind, and it had caused that matchmaker her reputation. She had even lost a large sum of introduction fees.

She hated the Lu family because after Lu Xingzhi broke off the engagement with Chen Lanying, she had taken the initiative to go to the Lu family again to introduce Lu Xingzhi to another woman. She even went to the county town to choose a few ladies with a similar background to Chen Lanying. Most importantly, they were from the city, and they had a residence permit there. She did not expect the Lu family to refuse her effort, and Lu Xingzhi also married a country girl.

The fat woman did not care about Chen Lanying's reaction. She watched as the three figures walked away before she quickly chased after them. She shouted, "Teacher Li! Teacher Li!"

Mrs Lu recognized the voice the moment she heard her. She immediately pressed Jiang Yao and Lu Xiaoxiao's hands to prevent them from looking backward. She said, "Don't look back. Just pretend that you didn't hear her. Let's find an intersection and turn there."

Mrs Lu could not be bothered to deal with the person behind her. Back then, after Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao were married, that fat woman had given her a hard time.
