249: Chapter 203: Lost Once, and Gave Way Once_2 249: Chapter 203: Lost Once, and Gave Way Once_2 Tu Yanmingâs heart skipped a beat, a bad premonition seeping in.
He laughed and called out, âMuyunâ¦â
Li Muyun dragged up the corners of her lips, her beautiful eyes shifting, a stunning gleam on her lips, âWhat are you waiting for?
Get in the car, little Tu!â
Watching her slightly pouted, bright red lips, Tu Yanmingâs heart was thrown into disarray in an instant!
â¦
In a hospital ward, Lu Yinchu handed Li Weihuan a glass of water.
Taking it, Li Weihuan said, âThank you, Uncle.â
âNo need for formalities!â
Lu Yinchu sat on the chair by the bed, craving a smoke, but he couldnât smoke in the ward.
As Li Weihuan drank his water, his heart was far from peace.
Finishing half a glass of water, he couldnât continue drinking, and put the glass aside.
Finally, he couldnât resist but speak first.
âUncle, do you remember a few nights ago, when you called me?â
Lu Yinchuâs gaze shimmered, nodding, âI remember, what is it?â
Li Weihuan pursed his lips, spoke, âThat night, I brought my girlfriend home.â
âOh?
Girlfriend?â Lu Yinchu asked in a deep voice, a probing tone.
Li Weihuan nodded, âYes, girlfriend.
My older sister said, since my girlfriend and I have been together for six years, we canât drag on like this.
I need to introduce her to the family.â
Lu Yinchu remained calm, emotionless, asking him, âAnd then?
Did something happen after you brought your girlfriend home?â
âI donât know, it seems like nothing happened, but also like a lot happened.
I left to drop off Ye Yuchen and told my girlfriend to wait for me at home.
When I returned, she had leftâ¦â
âWhat happened?â
âI donât know!â
Li Weihuan rubbed his eyebrows, âI donât know why, but I suspect that my mother must have taken advantage of my absence to bully her.
Otherwise, she wouldnât have left without waiting for me.â
Lu Yinchu pursed his lips, speaking, âDid you contact her afterwards?â
âHmm.â Li Weihuan nodded, âI did.
I called her, she said she was busy and told me not to worry.â
Li Weihuanâs gaze flickered, continuing, âBut Uncle, Iâve been uneasy lately, very uneasy.
I constantly feel like she could leave me any day now.
This morning, when I went to see her for breakfast, I noticed she seemed out of sorts.
She wanted to speak but kept stopping herself.
She didnât eat much.
When we were leaving, I held her hand, tightly, like before because I was afraid I would lose her.â
Recalling the past, Li Weihuan felt a pain wash over him, closing his eyes, he said, âUncle, she criedâ¦
she cried a lot.
I feel like she was crying for what she was about to tell me.
I thinkâ¦
sheâs leaving me!â
He looked up at Lu Yinchu, tears welling in his eyes, he asked Lu Yinchu, âUncle, what should I do?
How can I â¦
keep her with me?â
â¦
When Lu Yinchu left the hospital, Mo Yan called him saying he was on his way and would be there in a few minutes.
Lu Yinchu stood by the street outside the hospital entrance, bathed in the soft glow of the streetlight in a harmonious, slightly intoxicated aura.
He lit up a cigarette, hoping that his thoughts would dissipate with the smoke.
However, that wasnât the case.
He was a bit flustered, no, he should say he was very flustered!
Having lived for thirty-two years, he wasnât the young reckless man in his twenties who would do crazy things on a whim.
He needed to weigh many situations and issues, and todayâs incident is something he had thought through before, but it seemed slightly different from what he had anticipated.
He didnât know if he had underestimated himself or his nephew, Li Weihuan!
â¦
Mo Yanâs car arrived soon, and he opened the door for Lu Yinchu.
Lu Yinchu got in, his face stoic.
Mo Yan asked him where he was going, and after a moment, he said, âFeel like a drink?â
Mo Yan was surprised.
He thought Lu Yinchu would go home or to his villa.
As Mo Yan started the car, Lu Yinchu continued to smoke in the back seat, occasionally looking out of the window, his gaze hazy.
Twenty minutes later, they sat down at a music bar.
A bottle of red wine was swiftly brought to them.
Mo Yan wanted to pour the wine for Lu Yinchu, but he refused.
He poured two glasses of wine.
Mo Yan took a sip after a slight hesitation, âI canât drink too much.
I have to drive.
Iâll just have this one glass.â
Lu Yinchu gave a small laugh, but showed no concern.
Lu Yinchu tipped his head back, pouring the red wine down his throat.
Mo Yan remained silent as he watched, he too tipped his head back and took a sip.
The wine was slightly cold as it slid down his throat.
âDo you think, I should give Weihuan another chance?â Lu Yinchu suddenly asked.
Mo Yan was taken aback, not understanding his meaning, âMr.
Luâ¦â
Lu Yinchu cut him off, âMo Yan, Iâve watched and protected Weihuan as he grew up.
When heâs hurt, it pains me more than anyone else.
He can ask me for anything, I can give him â¦
anything.â
âMr.
Luâ¦â Mo Yan frowned slightly.
Normally restrained in his emotions, a flicker of pain passed through his eyes as he spoke, âMr.
Lu, Miss Gu should be with you.
Weihuanâ¦
â
âI knowâ¦â Lu Yinchu interrupted him, looking somewhat weary, âbut heâs my nephewâ¦â
âDespite that, the Li family would never accept Miss Gu.
Even if you let go, Miss Gu wonât be happy!
Weihuan canât make Miss Gu happy!â
Mo Yan pursed his lips, a flicker in his eyes, he spoke, âMr.
Lu, youâve already lost onceâ¦
and gave in onceâ¦
Youâve doneâ¦
enough for him!â
Lu Yinchuâs eyes shimmered.
He tipped his head back and downed the rest of the red wine in his hand, saying nothing more!
