Chapter 72 I am a vicious stepmother 16
"You brat, what are you doing now? Sign it right now!" Grandpa Lu was so angry that he kept banging his cane on the ground, wishing he could hit Lu Linyan with the cane!
The latter stared intently at the divorce agreement in front of him, feeling as if a knife was twisting in his heart, causing him excruciating pain.
He regretted it. He shouldn't have been so confident, and he shouldn't have trampled on Qingyu's sincerity for no reason.
He and she are already husband and wife, aren't they? He's come back now, they can start over!
"I know I was wrong, Qingyu, let's start over." Lu Linyan looked at Qingyu pleadingly, his eyes red.
Qingyu scoffed, her delicate face full of disdain and indifference. Her eyes flickered, and as if thinking of something, she said with a hint of amusement, "What about Bai Tao? You two had a one-night stand, and maybe she's already pregnant with your child."
It’s not maybe, it’s certain.
After all, the real plot of this world is that the genius baby brings the parents together, and Qingyu's real plot should be that she becomes a vicious stepmother after Baitao gives birth to the child.
Even though Qingyu has changed the plot and even altered the relationship between the male and female leads, the female lead's child still arrives as promised.
It was even earlier than in the storyline.
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Lu's face darkened. He glared hatefully at the dejected Lu Linyan, "This is all your own fault. If it's true... then get out! I'll find a new heir for the Lu family!"
"No way..." Lu Linyan gave a weak explanation, his eyes filled with fierceness.
At worst, I'll just have to apologize to Bai Tao...
Qingyu didn't miss Lu Linyan's expression, and she looked down on this so-called male lead even more.
Instead of truly recognizing their own mistakes, they blindly try to hurt others to prove that they are not wrong.
It is really……
She's even worse than her.
"No need to say more, just sign it and give it to me. I'll be packing my bags and leaving in the next couple of days." Qingyu announced this calmly, then looked at Grandpa Lu, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Grandpa, I have some questions for you."
Grandpa Lu was taken aback. When he met Qingyu's eyes, his heart stirred slightly, and he nodded. "Come to the study with me."
The two got up and went upstairs one after the other, neither of them paying any attention to the person kneeling on the ground.
Lu Linyan's mind was a complete blank. He suppressed the violence in his heart, his eyes were bloodshot, and his fists were clenched tightly.
His emotions were becoming increasingly difficult to control. The thought of Qingyu leaving him fueled a growing darkness within him.
Trapped her!
She's his wife, what right does she have to leave?
This thought lingered in Lu Linyan's mind, making him feel as if he had found light in the darkness, and he clung to it tightly.
His smile grew wider and wider until he finally staggered to his feet, grabbed the divorce papers, and tore them to shreds without a trace of emotion.
“White Peach…” Lu Linyan murmured to himself, his tone chilling, his eyes filled with an icy coldness that was intimidating.
------------
"You want to ask about your parents, right?"
Upon arriving at the study, Grandpa Lu got straight to the point and revealed Qingyu's purpose.
Qingyu wasn't too surprised. Grandpa Lu was in charge of the Lu family, and even though he was old, he wasn't stupid.
"I want to know how Grandpa met my parents?" As for the story that Grandpa Gao was the Lu family's savior, Qingyu didn't believe it at all.
The information Xie Jingzhou provided last time already explained that Grandpa Lu was saved by Gao's father by a twist of fate, and Gao's father even introduced Grandpa Lu to his connections, which enabled the Lu family to overcome the difficulties.
Qingyu asked this question not because she really wanted to know the whole story, but because she wanted Grandpa Lu to tell the truth.
Perhaps it was because Qingyu's eyes were too clear, but Grandpa Lu finally exhausted all his strength, and his shoulders slumped a bit.
“You’re just as smart as your parents,” he remarked, and then began to speak slowly.
As Qingyu knew, Gao's parents had accidentally saved someone's life, and Grandpa Lu was grateful for their help and wanted to get closer to them.
Even though they escaped from their family, they still lived a good life. The two of them were truly outstanding. Grandpa Lu could tell at a glance that they came from a prominent family, both in terms of appearance and temperament.
"I just never expected that my closeness would hasten your parents' deaths..." Grandpa Lu said bitterly, his sadness deepening in his eyes.
Even his aged hands trembled involuntarily.
Qingyu's heart stirred slightly. Thinking of the original owner's parents' deaths, she had a guess: "They were... murdered?"
Grandpa Lu's eyes were complicated. After a long while, he nodded and then shook his head, sighing, "Actually, I don't know the inside story... That family is too big. The identification of your parents in China was an accident, but I always felt that it was not an accident. In fact, I later found out that your parents were surrounded by people hired by your family during that period."
"Unfortunately, the Lu family is a prominent family here, but in the end, they don't have much of a deterrent effect on any other family."
So there was nothing Grandpa Lu could do. After he learned that Gao Qingyu had come on her own initiative, he could only protect her and even force his grandson to marry her. In fact, he also had his own selfish motives.
Both parents are top-tier in both IQ and EQ, so their child might also be a genius. Secondly...
Even if that family is in danger, if someone really comes looking for relatives later, the Lu family might be able to get in touch with them.
Driven by a combination of ideas and self-interest, Grandpa Lu became increasingly doting on Gao Qingyu.
Having figured all this out, Qingyu felt a turbid feeling slowly dissipate from her heart—
That was the original owner's resentment.
She couldn't understand whether coming to the Lu family was a blessing or a curse.
She has let it go now.
Whether it's a blessing or a curse, she owes the Lu family nothing. Her relationship with Lu Linyan was a tragic one, and it was her own fault for not being able to keep her heart.
The room remained silent for a long time. Qingyu rubbed her temples, her face showing signs of fatigue. She looked up at Grandpa Lu and slowly said, "I will leave the Lu family. Take care."
Grandpa Lu moved his lips, but in the end he remained silent.
Seeing this, Qingyu smiled politely, then calmly got up and walked out of the room.

"What do you mean?" Bai Tao held the paper in her hand, her eyes trembling, and her eyes gradually welling up with tears.
The anger in my heart rose and fell in layers.
She never expected that Lu Linyan would be so irresponsible!
They actually made her sign this kind of agreement!
"Are you afraid I'll cling to you? Is that why you're giving me so much money to humiliate me?" Bai Tao's voice was very soft, so soft and weak that it was heartbreaking.
Lu Linyan remained indifferent as always. He nodded slightly and said, "Our relationship has always been ambiguous. I'm just giving you face by clearing your name."
Bai Tao fell silent for a moment. She genuinely felt that Lu Linyan's words were nonsense, and they disgusted her.
But she had to hold back.
Or perhaps you couldn't resist... and simply increased the dosage to send the person away?
A moment later, Bai Tao looked up, her eyes filled with tears and deep affection, "What will happen if I don't want to? Will you hurt me?"
Lu Linyan paused for a moment, hesitated for a second, and then shook his head.
But that brief moment of hesitation sent a chill down Bai Tao's spine.
She used to think Lu Linyan was a bit of a jerk, but since she was with him, he had to take care of her no matter how much he disagreed.
did not expect……
Well, at least she didn't give her heart away; she only used Lu Linyan as a stepping stone to integrate into high society.
It seems that this man has become obsessed with Qingyu, which makes Bai Tao feel inexplicably angry and disdainful.
She wouldn't dare mess with Qingyu, so how could she dare with a scoundrel like Lu Linyan?
