Chapter 490: Chapter 488: I Will Break Up with Lu Fan_1

"It was me." Aunt Lu nodded, her lips pressed tightly as she walked towards Tao Tao.

With each step she took forward, Tao Tao felt increasingly terrified, her lips trembling slightly, unsure what to do with her hands and feet.

After all, she had taken someone else’s son, how could she not feel guilty!

"Am I some kind of man-eating beast, to scare you like that?" Aunt Lu glanced at her and saw her shaking, then immediately frowned, pulled over a chair to sit on, and stared intently at her.

"How, how could that be, Mrs. Lu looks so beautiful, how could she possibly be a beast." Tao Tao bit her lip, stammering as she tried to flatter.

Aunt Lu hummed softly, obviously not wanting to waste time, so she got straight to the point, "Miss Tao, I hope you can let go."

"Because of your matter, he was even grounded by his grandfather, he isn’t eating properly, I caught a glimpse of him yesterday, he’s lost so much weight, do you know how much that hurts a mother’s heart?"

Aunt Lu didn’t raise her voice nor did she take a high and mighty stance, instead, she tried to persuade with empathy and reason.

She put her hand over her chest, tears falling incessantly.

"Miss Tao, I know you are a good girl, you have had it tough too, if it was just that you were divorced, I wouldn’t care at all, but you cannot bear children, do you really want my Lu Fan to end his family line?"

"You are a mother too, think about it from another perspective, if your daughter were to marry a man who is infertile, without even the chance to be a mother, tell me, what would you do!"

Tears also welled up in Tao Tao’s eyes, her heart ached as if it were being sliced by knives, her fingers gripping tightly onto the blanket on the hospital bed.

"I..." She parted her lips, saying what every mother in the world would say, "I would not agree to her marrying such a man."

"You..." Aunt Lu understood there was hope upon hearing this, and just as she was about to say more, she was interrupted by Tao Tao.

"Mrs. Lu, you don’t have to say anymore, rest assured, I will break up with Lu Fan."

She took a deep breath, her eyes red as she cried and laughed, telling her.

She had been too rash, considering only herself and not taking the Lu Family into account.

To never become a father in his lifetime, what a cruel fate.

"Are you truly willing to break up?" Aunt Lu was obviously surprised by her reasonable attitude and was momentarily stunned.

"Willing." Tao Tao nodded affirmatively, tears falling once more.

Even though she couldn’t bear it, she knew she had to let go.

Aunt Lu wasn’t a hard-hearted person, only resorting to desperate measures under pressure; seeing Tao Tao’s sorrowful expression, she couldn’t bear it and turned her head away, unable to meet her gaze, "Miss Tao, thank you for being willing to let go, thank you, but I hope you can leave this place, or else Lu Fan won’t be able to forget you."

"Okay." Tao Tao cried, nodding with all her strength.

Mrs. Lu took a deep breath and then pulled out some items, "Here are tickets to UQ country, an admission notice from Queen University’s Dance Academy, a house, and three million.

She had said before that if Tao Tao agreed to leave, she wouldn’t mistreat her.

Consider it compensation.

This amount was more than enough for one person to live comfortably for a lifetime.

But Tao Tao only glanced at it briefly before she refused, "Thank you, but I just need this ticket, please take the rest back, the Lu Family doesn’t owe me anything, Lu Fan doesn’t owe me anything."

Her relationship with Lu Fan had only lasted a few days.

Such expensive compensation was not necessary.

Aunt Lu hadn’t expected her to refuse the money, she silently took the items back, leaving only the ticket.

Before leaving, she looked at her, "You are a good girl, it’s just a pity... forget it, I’m leaving, take good rest. The day after tomorrow, I will arrange for someone to personally escort you and the child to UQ country, ensuring you and your daughter’s safety along the way."

Tao Tao forced a smile, "Thank you."

Afterward, Aunt Lu immediately stood up and left the hospital room, as if afraid that even a second’s delay would make her change her mind.

She could tell that Tao Tao was a good girl.

But...

She couldn’t let Lu Fan be cut off from his future.

After she left, Tao Tao hid under the covers, sobbing and crying in despair.

Her heart hurt so much.

Very much.

As if a knife were being plunged into it fiercely.

But she couldn’t burden Lu Fan, as Aunt Lu had said word for word.

Xia Ningxing stood outside the hospital room, originally about to go in, but when she heard Tao Tao’s crying, she stopped in her tracks.

Better let her cry it out, lest suppressing it hurt her.

The reason Xia Ningxing was here was that she had left her bag in the room, intending to retrieve it; instead, she accidentally overheard every clear word of their conversation.

Tao Tao was going to UQ country the day after tomorrow...

Xia Ningxing’s brows couldn’t help but furrow, both professionally and personally, she didn’t want Tao Tao to leave.

A single mother going abroad with her child to a completely unfamiliar place, if something happened, there would be no one to seek help from.

Moreover, if she left, what if Lu Fan was so struck that he couldn’t recover? Who would help her protect the giant star?

Therefore, Xia Ningxing immediately turned around and had the driver waiting downstairs take her to the old house.

Sir Lu, seeing her arrival, hurriedly summoned Nanny Wu, "Quick, quick, quick, Xingxing is here, make some of her favorite dishes quickly!"

"Okay!" Nanny Wu cheerfully responded and went off to do as told.

After accompanying Sir Lu in conversation for a while, Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but probe, "Grandpa, how much longer are you planning to confine Lu Fan? Without him, my workload has been multiplying every day!"

She grumbled, seemingly only concerned about company matters.

In Sir Lu’s eyes, Xia Ningxing was a perfect student, so he didn’t doubt her words.

He said, "Soon, soon, just another two or three days at most."

With that, Xia Ningxing instantly understood.

Sir Lu was planning to release Lu Fan only after Tao Tao had completely left.

But by then it would be too late.

Internally, Xia Ningxing was anxious for the two, but she didn’t show it on the surface. Instead, she smiled and said, "Then, Grandpa, may I go see Lu Fan and have him help me with these documents? I’m still a novice in business studies, and there’s a lot I don’t understand, so I’d like to ask Lu Fan for advice."

"Of course." Since she was his darling granddaughter, Sir Lu agreed without a second word.

"Grandpa is the best!" Xia Ningxing immediately showed him a brilliant smile.

Then she ran off to find Lu Fan, her footsteps echoing "thump, thump, thump."

Lu Fan had been confined to the basement.

At this moment.

In the room.

Lu Fan was fumbling around the room like the ancient sages searching for some secret switch.

When he heard footsteps indicating someone was coming, he immediately stopped his actions, flopped on the bed, and pretended like he wasn’t the person who had just been searching all over the place.
