Chapter 605: Chapter 605: A Woman’s Jealousy

Lu Hao, who had been proudly boasting about his independence from an early age, was suddenly embraced by Su Jin.

???

“It’s okay, I just wanted to hug you,”

Su Jin said, lying on Lu Hao’s shoulder. Back in elementary school, she hadn’t even washed a bowl at home.

“If our child is a boy, he’ll also have to be independent just like his dad,”

Lu Hao fantasized.

“…”

Su Jin, who had just felt a bit sorry for Lu Hao, suddenly didn’t feel that way anymore. Could Lu Hao become a very strict father in the future?

She suddenly felt worried for the tiny life inside her belly…

Su Jin didn’t stay in the small western-style house for long but returned to their rented place with Mao Qiqi before it got dark.

Lian Jiyue was indeed playing with a tablet, but Su Jin discovered that he was reading an e-book inside.

This guy, he can actually read?

“So Xiao Yue can read,”

Mao Qiqi asked.

“Yeah, as I was looking, I began to understand some,”

Lian Jiyue could only respond like that.

Lately, he had been increasingly hesitant about whether to tell the family that he had recovered his memory. He was afraid of startling them and causing them to feel awkward, so he had to keep it secret for the time being.

“It seems Xiao Yue is getting better. Our family’s food really is nourishing,”

Qiqi happily said, and Sister Xiao Jin was pregnant too.

“Alright Qiqi, come eat. After dinner, we can watch a bit of TV and then get ready to rest,”

Su Jin urged. She still had to join everyone to work in the Space, after all. As a Special Ability User who was pregnant, she couldn’t overexert herself physically, but she could still use her Special Ability to work.

Lian Jiyue didn’t ask about Lu Hao, because he could tell that Su Jin and Qiqi were not worried about anything at all, which meant that Lu Hao was currently safe. As for the rest, he was too lazy to probe further.

Meanwhile, at the B City base, Han Yue looked at the much haggard Han Wan, who had unexpectedly come all the way from E City to search for her husband. It seemed like Lian Zongren, although he could have stopped by the E City base on his way back to S City, did not visit.

“Aunt, long time no see,”

Han Yue said with a smile.

“Yueyue, how has the family been recently?”

Han Wan was curious why Han Yue, who rarely talked to her since he was little, had suddenly come to find her.

“Pretty good, but I heard there were some issues on Aunt’s side,”

Han Yue feigned concern.

“Hmph, there was a bit of trouble, but rest assured, the E City base is still under the control of our Han Family,”

Han Wan was aware that the Han Family had recently lost a few small bases and thought Han Yue was concerned about that.

“Aunt, I visited the S City base recently. Uncle, Lian Ze, and Lian Jiyue were all there, and Lian Ze is now completely working for S City,”

Han Yue shared some of the situations in S City with Han Wan, believing she might not know all of these matters, especially since his father hadn’t arranged for anyone to receive her.

“What did you say? Is Ze alright now? And that little beast Lian Jiyue, is he also well in the S City base?!”

Han Wan was puzzled; it was one thing for Lian Jiyue, but why did Lian Ze and Lian Zongren also end up settling there?

“Probably because… the father and sons get along quite harmoniously. I heard that Uncle stayed for Lian Jiyue’s sake,”

As he spoke, Han Yue observed Han Wan’s expression and sure enough, a hint of anger appeared on her face upon hearing these words.

“I knew it, he always only cares about that one son, Lian Jiyue. He actually let Ze work his life away for another family’s base?!”

Han Wan was so angry she wanted to smash something, but she also realized this wasn’t her own home. At that moment, her nails were almost digging into her flesh, especially when she envisioned that affectionate scene of father and son.

Had he completely stopped caring about her?

“Sigh, I even tried to persuade uncle, telling him to take your two sons back to B city, so everyone could work together for the family business. Isn’t that nice? But he simply refuses and even says he owes you nothing,”

With a sigh of helplessness, Han Yue expressed his sentiments, which only infuriated Han Wan even more after she heard it.

He owes her nothing?

What a thing to say, what a thing indeed!

“Yueyue, can you do your aunt a favor?”

After some thought, Han Wan made her decision.

“Please tell me, aunt. We’re all family, and if I can help, surely it won’t be a problem,”

replied Han Yue promptly.

Feeling a bit relieved in her heart, Han Wan knew family was always the best!

“This time, I thought about making amends, so I brought someone with me,”

she said, looking out the window as if lost in memories.

She had brought that woman along this time because she feared Lian Zongren would fly into a rage over Lian Jiyue’s matters.

“Aunt, who did you bring?”

asked Han Yue, curious.

“Luo Yan”

The mention of that name gave Han Wan some satisfaction. Luo Yan hadn’t died after all; although she had fallen into disrepute, Han Wan had easily snatched her back.

“Who is Luo Yan?”

Han Yue frowned, the name sounding vaguely familiar.

“She is… Lian Jiyue’s mother,”

Han Wan replied.

Finally, Han Yue remembered where he had heard that name. It was mentioned by Lian Zongren when he had spoken about Han Wan on the walls of the fortress in S city. Could it really be Lian Jiyue’s mother?

“Then, what would you like me to do, aunt?”

“I want you to help spread the news about Luo Yan in B city to S city. I’m curious to see if those two men will be drawn to her,”

she said, her face showing a hint of madness. Han Wan was quite anticipatory, wondering which man would come running over first.

What would their reactions be if they saw Luo Yan in her current state?

Han Yue had many thoughts at that moment. Lian Jiyue’s mother?

His father was currently very dissatisfied with the Heart Talk Team, and they were a stumbling block for the Han Family. If he could start disintegrating them step by step, starting with a member of the Heart Talk Team… This could indeed be a tactic worth trying.

“Aunt, you have a good strategy, but I’m curious about how you found Luo Yan,”

asked Han Yue. He remembered Lian Zongren had said Luo Yan had exited the love triangle voluntarily, hadn’t he?

“Do I need to look for her? Hahaha, she has never escaped the palm of my hand all these years, it’s just that father and son are unaware,”

laughed Han Wan joyfully. To have her romantic rival live forever in her shadow, only she knew how satisfying that felt.

Driven by curiosity, Han Yue went to see this Luo Yan.

Beauty in skin and bone, though Luo Yan had now gone mad and her appearance could not be discerned, one could still see she must have been an exquisitely beautiful woman in her youth.

His aunt, she had actually found a way to sell Luo Yan, right after giving birth, to an old man living in the mountains…

A woman’s jealousy was truly a heart-piercing sentiment.

Luo Yan was currently detained in the Han Family’s holding cell. The light was dim here, and Luo Yan was dressed in men’s padded clothes, her hair a tangle like dead grass, and her body filthy beyond recognition.

When she saw a man entering, she tilted her head and then, smiling, took off the padded jacket. Underneath the coat, Luo Yan was naked.
