Lu Beichuan didn’t respond.
What did it matter if she changed or not?
It didn’t matter if it was a real change or a fake one.
As long as she didn’t keep saying those two annoying words, that was enough.
What did it matter if these things happened now, if these arguments happened now, as long as the person hadn’t changed, then returning to their previous life was only a matter of time.
“I’ve already had Xiao Ming move your luggage back to Tianzhu Garden. Take good care of your injuries during this time, and go home after you’re well enough to be discharged.”
After Lu Beichuan finished speaking, he got up. During the process, his eyes glanced at his watch no less than five times, indicating that there was something urgent.
An Xia could guess what it was that he cared about so much. It must be about Ming Xiyu.
“Going to see your little lover again?” An Xia sneered.
Lu Beichuan paused as he straightened his coat.
“I told you, the relationship between me and Xiyu isn’t what you think it is.”
An Xia sneered again: “You admitted it without being forced. You yourself admitted that Ming Xiyu is your little lover. Without any hesitation.”
Lu Beichuan frowned.
Just as he was about to say something, An Xia interrupted him with sarcasm.
“Lu Beichuan, you’re really scum. You deeply love your ex-girlfriend, and in order to take care of her, you can even throw your own brother to the back of your mind, completely ignoring him. But you’re unwilling to give your sweetheart a proper title. If this matter is exposed, and everyone knows that the beautiful artist is a mistress who destroys other people’s families, wouldn’t she be scolded terribly?”
An Xia said with a serious face, as if she was really consulting Lu Beichuan’s opinion, asking for his advice.
The complex meaning in Lu Beichuan’s eyes flashed by.
“Don’t touch her.”
An Xia asked back: “The original wife is telling the truth, announcing the matter of the mistress destroying other people’s families. I’m stating the facts, how did it become bullying her and touching her?”
Lu Beichuan was speechless for a moment.
“Or I’ll go ask the person involved first, ask her what she thinks about you loving her but being unwilling to divorce for her and give her a legitimate identity. After all, someone may be deceiving both sides.”
Her repeated provocations made Lu Beichuan unable to hold back his anger.
“I told you not to provoke her!”
“Who provoked me first!”
An Xia was now throwing caution to the wind.
Although she didn’t dare to push Lu Beichuan too hard directly due to his threats, An Xia was unwilling to let go of the opportunity to provoke him verbally.
If her days couldn’t be comfortable, then Lu Beichuan shouldn’t think that his days could be as comfortable as before.
“It’s you who wants to keep my position as the legal wife. This is the 21st century, a monogamous system. Since we’re married, we’re protected by law. Your cheating is a provocation to the law, and her seducing a married man is also a provocation to the law. Even if I don’t protect the legitimate rights and interests of my position, as a good citizen of society, I must abide by and support the legal order. I’m not doing anything wrong, right?”
An Xia raised her eyebrows, full of pride.
Provoking Lu Beichuan’s patience.
“You can mess around however you want, but Ming Xiyu, you can’t touch.” Lu Beichuan warned her with a sullen face.
An Xia shivered and raised her eyebrows.
“Oh, I’m so scared. You don’t even care about your own brother’s illness for that woman, so it wouldn’t be a problem to kill me for her, right?”
Lu Beichuan was really annoyed by her repeated provocations.
She was like a husky.
She was always singing the opposite tune to him now.
The key was that she didn’t really think it was unfair, she was just singing the opposite tune to annoy him.
She seemed to really care about his relationship with Ming Xiyu, but she also didn’t seem to really care.
This feeling was really unpleasant.
Speaking of Jingyang, An Xia thought of Lu Jingyang’s condition spiraling out of control at the Lu family’s old house just now.
Although she was accidentally injured by Lu Jingyang and suffered serious injuries, she still felt very sorry for him in her heart. She couldn’t hold him accountable for the mistakes he had made.
“Jingyang is really pitiful. To have a brother like you.”
An Xia said with a sullen look.
The exaggerated, deliberately irritating expressions on her face were gone, but it made people care even more.
Lu Beichuan’s body stiffened. His whole body seemed to be struck by lightning, and he looked at An Xia in disbelief.
“What did you say?”
He didn’t believe that these words had just come out of An Xia’s mouth.
“Didn’t hear clearly?” An Xia was already indifferent and numb to his expression that always made people feel soft and sorry for him, “Then I’ll say it again.”
“Jingyang is really pitiful, to have a brother like you.”
Lu Beichuan’s hands hanging by his sides clenched instantly, from his hands to his neck, and then to his temples, the blood vessels all over his body burst out, and his eyes were also dyed red little by little.
“An Xia, you didn’t used to say that.”
Lu Beichuan’s voice trembled, and his scarlet eyes stared at An Xia tightly.
As if he was unwilling to accept this fact. He wanted her to take it back quickly.
“I used to be blind and foolish, that’s why I said those mindless and naive words.” An Xia said firmly, word by word.
“It was you who caused Jingyang to have a persistent high fever and not be treated in time, which damaged his brain and made him like this today. You owe him this for the rest of your life, and you should repent properly. But today you ignored him for Ming Xiyu. Jingyang’s biggest misfortune in life is to have a brother like you!”
An Xia looked at Lu Beichuan, her eyes were red, and her dark pupils stared at him, as if all the bad and scolding swear words could pop out directly.
“You’re not allowed to say that!”
Lu Beichuan completely lost control. His voice was hoarse from shouting, and he rushed forward in one step, his hands tightly 掐住 An Xia’s neck.
As if doing so could take back the words An Xia had just said.
“Take back what you said! You can’t say that to me! Anyone can say that, but you can’t!”
An Xia was almost out of breath from being 掐住. But stubbornly, she was unwilling to take back the words she had just said according to Lu Beichuan’s wishes.
Feeling that the breath rising and falling in An Xia’s chest was getting weaker and weaker, Lu Beichuan broke away from the out-of-control state at once, and quickly let go of his hand. Looking at An Xia’s almost purplish face, his heart panicked.
His hands carefully held her shoulders, the words he wanted to apologize had already reached his lips, but he couldn’t say them anyway, so he just stared at her blankly and helplessly, at a loss.
The head nurse received the low blood pressure and hypoxia alarm from An Xia’s electrocardiogram, and immediately rushed to An Xia’s ward with the doctor to start rescue.
Lu Beichuan was pushed out of the ward.
The tall and straight figure stood alone outside the ward, the noble and cold temperament disappeared in an instant, leaving only remorseful decadence.
In the loneliness, there seemed to be some desolation of being isolated and separated.
Lu Zixing heard the movement and ran over quickly. Seeing An Xia, who was dying inside through the glass on the ward door, he turned around angrily and punched Lu Beichuan hard in the face.
“What kind of man are you!”
“It’s not enough that she has suffered so much grievance! You still refuse to let her go! You still bully her like this!”
