Lu Jijun looked at Ye Tianxin calmly and replied in a sad voice, “Although she is my wife, she is, I won't be a go-between for her because she's done a terrible thing and I know how important your grandmother is to you. You are free to do whatever you want with him. I'll leave the decision to you and won't question it.”
Qin Lili sneered when she heard his reply. She did not know if she was laughing at how foolish she was to serve Ye Linlang or how heartless she was to him.
“Lu Jijun, we have been married for more than 10 years, and we have gone through a lot of hardships to this day. But now, you have revealed your true self. You never loved me or our daughter,” he accused.
Lu Jijun shook his head and explained, “Lili, I can help you with anything other than this. We're talking about attempted murder here. Her grandmother could have died if the nurse didn't find out before it was too late. Do you not understand? Lili, you've committed a crime, and I don't want to protect a criminal!”
Qin Lili nodded and looked fearless now. After all, he has nothing to lose.
Maintaining his composure, he stood up and straightened his clothes before he walked towards Ye Tianxin. Without begging for mercy, he said, "Ye Tianxin, I want to have a personal moment with Lu Jijun."
However, Lu Jijun immediately replied and rejected him, "There's nothing we need to talk about."
Qin Lili slowly walked over to Lu Jijun and chuckled, "Lu Jijun, what happened 18 years ago ..."
"Well, you're talking about a time when we were drunk, right?" Lu Jijun shouted and looked at Qin Lili with a frown.
“Yes, so let's walk down the memory lane, huh?” she teased, and her eyes wrinkled into an expression she used to wear.
Lu Jijun glanced at Li Qingcang and Ye Tianxin, then he replied, "Can we have a personal moment?"
"You have five minutes," Li Qingcang agreed and led everyone out of the conference room.
Ye Tianxin and Li Qingcang stood upright beside each other and neither of them said a word. The others were also waiting with them in the corridor in silence.
After some time, the door suddenly opened and Lu Jijun ran out in panic. He was pale; his eyes were red from crying.
“Dia...dia...,” she stuttered, “jumped from window...”
Everyone was shocked, and Li Qingcang looked at him doubtfully before asking, "What did you tell him?"
Lu Jijun leaned against the wall, and her quivering lips completely ran out of color as she explained, “I didn't say anything. He is the one who does all the talking. She said that she couldn't go to jail and she couldn't let Qingxin have an inmate as a mother."
He then slapped his own face violently twice and said in a reproachful tone, “This is all my fault! I should have caught him.”
Qin Lili's eyes were wide open as she lay on the ground, and her expensive fur coat was wet with blood.
Lu Jijun knelt in front of him. When she reached out her trembling hand to check her pulse, she realized that she was still breathing. However, it was getting weaker and weaker.
The medical staff arrived and pushed Qin Lili to the emergency unit.
Lu Jijun sat alone in the corridor outside the operating room in silence. After more than 10 minutes had passed, he finally called Lu Qingxin, who rushed to the hospital with Gu Yancheng.
When he arrived and saw Lu Jijun covered in blood, he asked anxiously, "Dad, what happened to Mother?"
"Qingxin, he jumped off the building!" Lu Jijun cried.
Lu Qingxin's head started to spin when she heard the bad news. Suddenly, his body went limp and he collapsed into Gu Yancheng's embrace.
"Uncle, why did Auntie jump off the building?"
Lu Qingxin was not the only one who could not accept this news. Even Gu Yancheng was stunned. His ears were ringing in shock and he could not react even after a long time.
He held the tiny Lu Qingxin in his hand with pain in his eyes.
“Your mother took out grandmother Tianxin's oxygen tube. Tianxin and the others called the police. Your mother said she couldn't go to jail. If he goes to jail, you might not be able to go to Capital University. He's afraid it'll affect your future, so.”.
Tears flowed from Lu Qingxin's eyes.
"Bus ... How can you be so stupid?"
Even if his mother had killed someone, he was still his mother.
Lu Qinxin would rather Qin Lili's life than something happen to her.
It was all Ye Tianxin's fault.
He destroyed his family!
Ye Tianxin's…
From now on, I, Lu Qingxin, am your enemy.
......................
Ye Tianxin was shocked when she received the news that they failed to revive Qin Lili.
In his past life, Qin Lili was fine even until Ye Tianxin's death…
Ye Tianxin did not see how Qin Lili looked after she jumped off the building. However, when he thought about it, how could Qin Lili be fine after jumping from such a tall building?
“Don't think about that again. It has nothing to do with you.”
Why did Qin Lili jump?
What happened between Lu Jijun and Qin Lili inside the conference room?
Lu Jijun was the only one who knew what happened.
The police will make detailed notes based on all of this.
“I just feel that this whole situation is a little sad. Although Qin Lili was not a good person, she really loved Lu Qingxin. I wonder what my mother thought when she left aky and my grandmother.”
How could he leave his old daughter and mother?
Did he realize that his mother had been waiting for him to come home for years?
Does she know what kind of life her daughter lived while she was gone?
Li Qingcang comforted Ye Tianxin, “There are billions of people in the world, and there are different types of mothers. I believe that your mother loves you. Otherwise, he'll abort you when he finds out what happened to your father. That's why, Tianxin, don't doubt your mother. Maybe he had no choice but to do what he did.”
Ye Tianxin understood what Li Qingcang meant.
In the past, he had thought Lu Jijun was his father. Now that he knew that his father was someone else, he felt relieved.
He thought that the unfortunate fate between him and Lu Qingxin would be exposed to the fact that Lu Jijun was not his father.
Who knew that the relationship between him and Lu Qingxin would get increasingly tangled with Qing Lili's death?
Grandma regained consciousness that night. The doctor gave Grandma a postoperative examination and confirmed that she was recovering well. He will be transferred to a regular ward after staying in the intensive care unit for two more days.
"Grandmother, do you know what happens when you're unconscious after surgery?"
Ye Tianxin said as she fed her grandmother with nutritious soup.
"What's going on?"
“Lu Jijun and I did a DNA test. He's not my biological father.”
Grandma shocked. Lu Jijun had been sending her money all this time. At first, he had only sent a small amount, but it had grown more and more as time went on. He thought Lu Jijun was Tianxin's father.
So he's not…
"Then did he tell you who your father was?"
Ye Tianxin shook her head. "She said my mom didn't tell her," she said.
"However, he should be the son of a rich family."
