Chapter 275: Chapter 275 The Old Lady Died

Huang Suzhen looked at her beloved grandson behind her and thought about her age. She had lived long enough, so she decided to trade her old bones for her grandson’s lifelong peace. After all, Lu Ruiming hadn’t done anything. As long as she confessed, he would still be treated well in the Lu Family.

Furthermore, she felt guilty towards her daughter. By taking all the blame herself, her daughter and grandson’s future would not be threatened.

After coming to terms with her decision, she took a deep breath, "It was me, all me. I used schemes to marry you. We didn’t meet by chance; I was waiting there for you."

This was what Huang Suzhen least wanted to admit, but saying it first now made it more convincing.

Then she continued, "I indeed abused Lu Jianguo and Lu Jianshe in the past, thinking they would take a wrong path because of my mistreatment, but they didn’t. Later, I worried their children would also turn out exceptional, diminishing my grandson’s status. That’s why I had someone kidnap Lu Ruisheng, and Su Qing’s car accident was also my doing. I hired people from abroad; they had bought exit tickets in advance and left immediately after completing their tasks. It was the early 21st century, the internet wasn’t so common, and your position wasn’t high then. Although your workplace had installed surveillance, it was still in its experimental phase, often malfunctioning, so it was easy to tamper with. All of it was my doing. Do whatever you want with me."

At that moment, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng also realized the truth. With Lun Wanli’s position not being high back then, their living and security situation wasn’t optimal, and those people being foreign mercenaries explained why it was so hard to trace.

Listening to Huang Suzhen finishing her words, Lu Wanli looked up, tears falling from his eyes, "It’s my fault, all my fault. I never truly saw you for who you are."

Honestly, neither Gu Pan nor Lu Ruisheng felt any sympathy for Lu Wanli. His family being in such a state was largely his responsibility. They just wanted to uncover the truth and reveal the matters concerning Lu Ruiming, before they should return to No.7 Base.

Thus, the two of them said nothing, waiting to see how Lu Wanli would deal with the situation.

By then, Lu Ruiming had moved closer to Lu Lianlian. Knowing he couldn’t rely on Huang Suzhen anymore and fearing his grandfather’s severe anger, he dared not approach Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng, leaving him no choice but to turn to Lu Lianlian.

Lu Lianlian was also shocked by all the horrific things Huang Suzhen had done over the years. Her mind was in disarray; the Huang Suzhen she thought she knew all these years was not the real Huang Suzhen at all.

Huang Suzhen, looking at her daughter and grandson, actually felt reassured. Now her grandson and daughter wouldn’t suffer because of her — she had secured her grandson’s lineage, which delighted her the most.

Then, with a smile, Huang Suzhen asked Lu Wanli, "How do you plan to deal with me? I may not have merits, but I have suffered. I at least gave you a pair of children and a grandson, Mingming. This life has been worthwhile for me, do as you wish."

Because she had no regrets left; she had lived a glorious life, had children, and though her son had died, she still had a grandson. So even if she died now, she could close her eyes in peace.

At that time, addressing Huang Suzhen’s actions was indeed difficult. On one hand, these family scandals had happened over thirty years ago and it was impossible to prosecute now. On the other hand, Huang Suzhen’s age didn’t suit imprisonment, not to mention that Lu Ruiming’s father and Lu Lianlian were her children, and it couldn’t be that because of one Huang Suzhen, everything should be stalled.

This was something Huang Suzhen was aware of too, so she thought she would probably just be confined to her home. After all, it was the apocalypse, and being confined made no difference to her. With this thought, she was not afraid at all.

Gu Pan looked at the complacent Huang Suzhen and smiled. "It’s my turn to plunge in the dagger."

She said to Huang Suzhen, "Old Lady Huang, there’s something I must tell you while you’re feeling triumphant. Your precious grandson isn’t yours. If I’m not mistaken, that grand cuckold was also set in place by you. What a surprise, isn’t it?"

Because he had just listened to Huang Suzhen mention that old lover’s child, he was quite sure who Lu Ruiming’s real father was.

Huang Suzhen froze upon hearing this, but quickly regained her composure. "Young girl, don’t try to deceive me. I’m not so easily fooled at my age."

Gu Pan smiled and said, "No, can’t you see who Lu Ruiming resembles? His height, his looks, do they have anything to do with the Lu Family?"

At that moment, Lun Wanli’s suspicions deepened. Ever since Lu Ruiming arrived, Su Qing had mentioned that Lu Ruiming didn’t resemble the Lu family, and nothing about Lu Ruiming’s subsequent actions had sat well with Lun Wanli. In fact, he had repeatedly wondered to himself, "Is this child really one of ours?"

Of course, these ideas were gradually instilled into the old man’s mind by Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng.

Now, hearing Gu Pan’s words, Lun Wanli grew even more suspicious. He scrutinized Lu Ruiming carefully—didn’t he look too much like the distant nephew, Maru, that Old Lady Huang had once brought home?

It hadn’t occurred to him before, but now that he thought about it, the resemblance seemed undeniable.

At that moment, Huang Suzhen also thought of Maru. Why did her grandson resemble Maru?

Seeing their expressions, Lu Ruisheng smiled, "Got it now? Sure whose child he is? We had confirmed it before coming here—Zhang Huishu made it very clear. Lu Ruiming is the son of Old Lady Huang’s lover. It’s really quite complicated. Most people would need to sort it out thoroughly; otherwise, they wouldn’t understand."

After finishing, she smiled and asked Huang Suzhen, "How does it feel to know that your cherished eldest grandson isn’t related by blood?"

Huang Suzhen clutched her chest, her lips twitching several times before she collapsed—no one caught her, and her head struck the ground with a loud crash, which was particularly frightening.

Lu Lianlian was the first to react, shouting anxiously, "Call an ambulance!"

This was her birth mother, after all, and she was agitated.

Lu Ruiming didn’t move because he was bewildered. If he wasn’t a Lu, what was he supposed to do now?

Lun Wanli still picked up the phone and dialed for an ambulance.

When the ambulance arrived, Huang Suzhen was already without signs of life, but the doctors still attempted resuscitation, ultimately pronouncing her dead at home.

Neither Gu Pan nor Lu Ruisheng had expected Huang Suzhen to die like this, filled with discontent and regret. It brought them some relief.

The ambulance hadn’t left yet when Lun Wanli also collapsed. The ambulance wasn’t empty after all—it took him away. Because the ambulance could only accompany one, Lu Ruisheng followed, as there were no other family members readily available.

Gu Pan called Second Uncle and Second Aunt at home, asking them to hurry over.

Soon, Lu Jianshe and Su Qing arrived, looking at the deceased Huang Suzhen on the ground, Lu Lianlian kneeling beside her and Lu Ruiming hidden in a corner. Both were overwhelmed, their brains nearly fried without figuring out what kind of scene this was.
