Chapter 428 - 412 Disheartened
"Mom, if you really feel unwell tomorrow, just rest at home for the day. There’s no need to force yourself to attend Gu Meng’s wedding. After all, nothing is more important than your health," Xia Yuan said.
After dinner, Gu Tianming followed his father into their room, where he saw his mother leaning on the bed, clearly still in a mood from when he entered. He dropped the comment with a cold tone and left without waiting for her response.
Facing his mother, that deep feeling of helplessness returned, and after tonight, it was joined by a chill in his heart.
How his mother treated Shitou and Lu Yun’s family today was beyond his expectations. It made him feel extremely passive and ashamed, not knowing how to face his sister-in-law’s family.
Having been with Lu Group for a long time, he had come to know some secrets. He vaguely knew that the formula for the successful "Flower Face" products — the foundation of his and Xia Na’s fortune — actually came from Lu Yun.
Even without that, Shitou was one of the founders of Lu Group. And who didn’t know that Lu Aiguo and Xia Yuan doted on Lu Yun even more than on their own son, Lu Jinsheng?
What was his mother thinking? Knowing full well the place Lu Yun held in Lu Aiguo’s and Xia Yuan’s hearts, yet she still chose to snub them like that. How was that different from slapping the Lu Family in the face?
Heh, he couldn’t help but overthink. Did his mother even have a shred of affection for him? Xia Na might have been right; perhaps he was the child she simply didn’t care about, didn’t favor, didn’t see.
