Chapter 400: Chapter 398: What Other Ways Are There_1

Hearing these words, Tao Tao almost burst out laughing in anger. It didn’t matter that Lu Tingli and she had no relationship, but even if she found another man, so what?

"It seems I need to remind you, I am now divorced from your son. Whether or not I find another man is none of your family’s business. You’d better stop being a busybody!" Tao Tao retorted without mincing words.

Anyway, she was no longer his mother-in-law. She had nothing to be afraid of!

"You!" Mrs. Yu was so blocked she turned red in the face and left huffily, sleeves flapping.

When she returned to the hospital, Yu Heng had already awoken from the anesthesia. His eyes were blood-shot as he stared at his empty lower body, tears streaming down uncontrollably.

"My legs... my legs..."

He suddenly began to scream and cry in despair, his fingers clutching his hair tightly, unable to accept the fact that he had become ’useless’.

The most terrifying thing was that he couldn’t feel that ’important place’ at all anymore!

So, did this mean... he now didn’t have a functional leg either?

"No!"

He wailed sorrowfully, clutching at his own throat as if to strangle himself to death.

"My son! My son!" Mrs. Yu had just returned when she witnessed this scene. She was scared half to death, let out a scream, dropped whatever she was carrying, and ran towards him with a panic-stricken face:

"Son, what are you doing? If you die, how do you expect your mother to live in this world?"

Mrs. Yu cried as she clutched his hand to stop him from choking and embraced him tightly, comforting him with a sobbing voice, "Good baby, it’s okay, it’s okay. Even if the leg is gone, as long as you are alive it’s enough."

Yu Heng had gotten into this accident through unauthorized operation, getting caught in a machine. If it hadn’t been for a co-worker pulling him out in time, he would have lost his life.

With a face filled with sorrow and despair, Yu Heng had no desire to live, completely despondent, "Mom, losing the legs is one thing, but now I can’t even feel that part, meaning I’m not even a man anymore. What’s the use of living so disgracefully?"

"Mom, I’m sorry, I’ll never be able to fulfill your wish of holding a grandson in this lifetime!"

"And I heard, I also have to compensate the research institute five hundred thousand!"

"Five hundred thousand! Where are we going to get that money!"

"I might as well be dead!"

Saying that, Yu Heng struggled to leave her embrace, intending to hit his head against the wall.

"Son! No!" Mrs. Yu screamed in terror, grabbing him immediately, then began to wail again, "There will be a way, there must be a way!"

"What way could there possibly be?" Yu Heng asked weakly, no hint of light in his eyes, only a desire for death.

"I’ve got it! My son! We have a solution!" In her desperate panic, a sudden idea came to Mrs. Yu as she thought of Tao Tao.

Like a drowning person grasping at a lifebuoy, Yu Heng held tightly onto Mrs. Yu, asking excitedly, "Mom, what solution have you thought of?"

As the saying goes, it’s better to be alive than dead; of course, he didn’t want to die if it could be avoided.

Mrs. Yu suddenly let out a cold laugh, stroking his hair and said, "Son, have you forgotten about the girl that Tao Tao gave birth to?"

Yu Heng instantly grasped her meaning, "Mom, are you suggesting that we snatch the child and bring her up ourselves, then later find her a husband who will marry into our family, so that she can carry on our family name in the household register?"

"No, that woman Tao Tao will definitely not give her to us, and besides, that’s a losing deal, we’re not doing it." Mrs. Yu shook her head, negating the idea.

Now Yu Heng was confused, "Then what do you mean?"

"You silly boy, of course, we are going to use the child as a pretext to extort a hundred or eight hundred thousand from Tao Tao." Mrs. Yu curled her lips, her small shrimp-like eyes shining with cunning calculation:

"You are the biological father of the child; you have the right to visitation. When the time comes, you can go and be a pain to her every day. When she can’t take it anymore, she’ll naturally pay you to leave her alone, and then we will have the money to pay off the five hundred thousand we owe to the research institute."

"As for the matter of passing on the family lineage, as long as we have money in our hands, surely someone within the clan would be willing to adopt a son for our family. Are we still afraid that no one will take the household register?" Mrs. Yu said again.

She didn’t care about that worthless girl that Tao Tao had given birth to. Even if they found a son-in-law later, so what!

"Mom’s right! My mom is the greatest mom in the whole world!" Yu Heng nodded vigorously, perfectly playing the role of a momma’s boy to the fullest.

"Good boy!" Mrs. Yu touched his head affectionately, as if he was still just a little child who had not grown up.

Xia Ningxing and the others were still unaware of Mrs. Yu’s malicious plan; by this time, they had already returned to the company.

Lu Fan was in the office feeding milk to Little Sweetie.

The little baby seemed to really like him, holding the milk bottle with his tiny palm, smiling at the man in front of him, his nose occasionally blowing bubbles.

Lu Fan’s gaze couldn’t help but soften. To the uninformed, they might even think he was the baby’s biological father.

"Manager Lu, I really appreciate your help!" Tao Tao’s heart softened at the sight of her darling daughter, and her already elegant and graceful face took on an ineffable, utterly charming quality.

Lu Fan found himself momentarily lost in thought.

Despite having seen all kinds of beauties in the entertainment industry, not even Xia Ningxing, with her peerless beauty, could evoke any feeling in him.

But Tao Tao was different. Her features weren’t particularly delicate or exquisite, and taken individually, they would seem quite ordinary, but together, they were captivating.

Her beauty wasn’t the kind that left people eternally amazed, like Ningxing’s. Rather, it was like a gentle stream that flowed continuously at the depths of one’s heart.

Especially after having a child, her beauty was imbued with a sort of intellectual charm.

"Manager Lu?" Tao Tao felt embarrassed under his gaze, her cheeks reddening as she couldn’t resist reminding him.

"Ahem!" Lu Fan snapped back to reality, his expression returning to its usual seriousness as he explained lightly, "Sorry, I was being rude. I was merely observing your figure and looks, planning for your future development."

"Thank you, thank you!" Tao Tao believed him sincerely and quickly expressed her startled gratitude.

Lu Fan sipped his tea with composure, "No need to thank me."

When Tao Tao left with Little Sweetie to feed her, Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows at Lu Fan, "Really just planning for career development? Or have you taken a liking to her?"

"Pfft..."

The tea that Lu Fan was drinking spurted out unexpectedly, and the direction was right toward Xia Ningxing.

If Lu Tingli hadn’t been quick to pull her aside with his fast reflexes, Xia Ningxing would have ended up with a face full of spit.
