Chapter 90.1: Obscure

Thinking of that painful and dark past, Lu Wanfang couldn’t stop frowning a little.

“I always feel sorry for this kid. Yuanbai has been paying too much for me.”

Speaking of Lu Wanfang’s breathing ups and downs, “Yuanbai didn’t have anyone to play with him when he was a child, so he stayed with me at home. I took him to fiddle with a lot of things from time to time. Among them, Yuanbai likes painting the most.”

“At that time, Yuanbai drew pictures for me from time to time when he was four or five years old. I kept all those pictures and put them in the photo frame, thinking that I would show them to Lu Yuanbai when he grew up.”

“Yuanbai’s liberal arts grades after high school were okay, and he has always gone to the studio, thinking about taking the art college entrance examination during the college entrance examination.”

Lu Wanfang still can’t forget the day he accompanied Lu Yuanbai to school to participate in the hundred-day swearing-in. Lu Yuanbai smiled and told him about the well-known Domestic Academy of Fine Arts and wanted to be admitted to study oil painting.

In the eyes of the sentimental teenager, there is endless expectation and yearning for the future.

Lu Yuanbai’s eyes were full of energy, “When I get into the exam, I will come back every semester from vacation to paint portraits for you.”

“Mom is waiting.” Lu Wanfang smiled and touched her son’s head.

However, the boy’s dreams and wishes did not come true after all.

Lu Wanfang lowered her eyes and looked at the photo of Lu Yuanbai on her mobile phone, “When I was fighting a divorce lawsuit with his father, Yuanbai was about to enter the college entrance examination in his senior year of high school.”

Lu Wanfang pursed her lips as she said, as if she couldn’t bear it, “Yuanbai would come to the rental house where I live to accompany me every day after school, because my marriage with his father caused him a lot of blow and pressure, but Yuanbai finally successfully participated in the college entrance examination. The grades are very good, and the colleges and universities that filled in also successfully admitted him.”

“But the kid gave it up for me.”

Regarding the divorce of Lu Wanfang and Shen Kangyong, Shen Kangyong kept biting his tongue, all he wanted was to save his face in the upper circles.

Although the relationship in the upper-class circle is chaotic, no one will put it on the bright side. It is disgraceful to have a second wife and illegitimate children outside. Even if many rich people in this society have them, even if this is the norm, it is not absolutely not normal but decadent.

The big families naturally pay great attention to these, and the most prestigious in the upper circles are those century-old families.

If you want to get close to such a family, it is naturally impossible to have a chaotic life that can’t get on the stage.

Shen Kangyong was a poor boy who started from scratch, and Lu Wanfang accompanied the poor boy to suffer for half his life.

In the circle, Shen Kangyong is still a bit of an admirable capital. It is definitely not easy for a self-made poor boy to break into today’s world, but one cannot ignore Lu Wanfang, who has been supporting him behind him.

Now that Shen Kangyong’s scandal has been exposed, many people were naturally secretly talking about him.

Shen Kangyong cared about his reputation and face, and in order to maintain his image in the upper circles, he bit Lu Wanfang and refused to let go.

However, he is well-known for not abandoning his bad wife.

It’s ridiculous to say that Lu Wanfang and Lu Yuanbai were forced to live in a small rental house of 30 square meters while the bastard son from outside successfully entered the Shen family with his shameless little third mother.

Yet the man still insisted on refusing to divorce.

And even secretly suppressed Lu Wanfang’s mother and son. Lu Wanfang needed money to fight a lawsuit, and Lu Yuanbai needed money to go to university, but they had nothing in their hands, and no one was even willing to give them money.

At first, Song Zhao would secretly give money to Lu Yuanbai, but after the family discovered it, Song Zhao’s family would not let Song Zhao go to this muddy water called Lu Yuanbai. Song Zhao rebelled against his family which sent him directly to study abroad.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yuanbai began to be unable to pay the high lawsuits and legal fees, and gradually realized that it was difficult to move in society without money.

He started working part-time, and Lu Wanfang also went to find some nanny work, but it was not enough.

Once he went home from a long-distance job, seeing his tired mother who was lying on the sofa and passed out, his heart was mixed.

Lu Yuanbai stood in the small rental house and stayed still for a long time. He then stepped into the room and tore up the acceptance letter of the university he was looking forward to in his heart.

 After contacting the scouts who wanted to dig him before, he stepped into the deep water of the entertainment industry.

Of course, this pool of deep water is not easy; even if Lu Yuanbai got a little bit of fame and had a better life after that, the suppression from the Shen family followed.

Lu Wanfang looked at Duan Yu and said, “Do you know that the media broke the news about Yuanbai hitting a woman before?”

Duan Yu was taken aback when he heard this. He had also heard of this news when he asked someone to investigate Lu Yuanbai before marriage.

But at that time, the assistant said that Duan Yu didn’t care about the Oolong incident. After all, he was only a collaborator in the agreement, and he only wanted benefits.

Lu Wanfang: “This child Yuanbai didn’t hit a woman at all. It was Shen Kangyong who made the black material for Yuanbai.”

At that time, Lu Yuanbai’s film directed by Director Zhang had just been released, and it was when he had a slight reputation.

That day, Li Hanwei had used her means to find Lu Yuanbai.

He said a lot to Lu Yuanbai cynically.

“I always thought you were a smart child, but I didn’t expect you to be as stupid as your mother.”

Li Hanwei was wearing a lady’s dress, carrying an expensive brand-name bag in her hand, stepping on high heels, and entering Lu Yuanbai’s lounge with her toes high.

Lu Yuanbai looked at the woman in front of him, his eyes like a pool of stagnant water, gloomy and waveless.

“What are you doing here?”

Li Hanwei found a place to sit down, “What else am I doing? I’m your stepmother, let’s see how Young Master Shen is doing.”

“Oh, no, wait. You are not Young Master Shen, you have changed your surname to Lu, and now Young Master Shen of the Shen family is my son Ciwen.”

Li Hanwei’s words did not irritate Lu Yuanbai in the slightest. Looking at the woman in front of him, Lu Yuanbai only felt ridiculous.

Ignorant and stupid.

Li Hanwei looked at Lu Yuanbai. Although she didn’t want to admit it, she knew very well that Shen Kangyong still had his eldest son in his heart, and even her Ciwen couldn’t surpass the position in his heart, otherwise she wouldn’t find a way to force Lu Yuanbai back to Shen’s house.

Li Hanwei knew that Shen Kangyong not only cared about his face, but also Lu Yuanbai.

After all, it is the first child, and of course all the feelings will be focused on him more.

Although Li Hanwei was unwilling, she was also aware of current affairs. She did not slander Lu Yuanbai on the bright side, but was secretly blowing the pillow wind.

They are pitiful. They have lived sneakily since they were young. They have never had any good things. Those good things are given to Lu Yuanbai and Lu Wanfang. Their mother and son have suffered, but they are content. They don’t want anything, as long as Shen Kangyong is good.

Lu Yuanbai looked at the woman in front of him coldly. At this time, the other party was like a jumping clown showing off what others disdainfully wanted.

If Lu Yuanbai wanted the position of the young master of the Shen family, he would not change his surname. If he wanted to go back, he would not have supported his mother to fight a lawsuit. He hated there: Shen Kangyong, Li Hanwei and Shen Ciwen.

He didn’t want to see them again. They were maggots in the silt, with a skyrocketing stench on their bodies, making people vomit at first glance.

Li Hanwei: “Of course, if you want to come back, you can. After all, I am ashamed of you for doing these jobs of showing up and buying smiley faces. When you come back, Ciwen and I can let you go. After all, Ciwen and I are not as narrow-minded as you and your mother. We tolerate people. We are sensible and know etiquette and humility.”

Who knew? Lu Yuanbai didn’t answer but laughed instead.

Lu Yuanbai was amused by the words of this shameless woman.

That smile was full of disdain and irony.

Li Hanwei couldn’t maintain her expression,“What are you laughing at?””

“Shamless.” Lu Yuanbai smiled coldly.

Li Hanwei was taken aback for a moment, then said angrily: “What are you talking about?”

Lu Yuanbai: “Don’t you understand?”

“I think Shen Ciwen has a polite upbringing.”

Li Hanwei, “What’s so ridiculous about this, you are jealous of our Ciwen…”

“What am I jealous of him?” Lu Yuanbai looked directly at Li Hanwei, “Am I jealous that he has a father who sees him sneaking around like a mouse, or am I jealous of the little mistress who knows that others have a family yet still continues cheating, or am I jealous of the identity of an illegitimate child? Do you want me to envy him for living like a mouse?”

Lu Yuanbai stepped closer to Li Hanwei as he said, “What you have now is not what I took away, but what I don’t want. The garbage I left behind is not funny to you as a baby.”

“You are the second wife of someone’s junior high school love. You destroy other people’s families, and hurt a woman who has nothing to do with you. Now isn’t it funny to turn around and bite back?”

Li Hanwei: “Why did I hurt it? Lu Wanfang and I have no marriage relationship. I have no obligation to maintain her marriage. I didn’t harm her interests.”

Lu Yuanbai looked at her faintly, and suddenly felt that it was a bit ridiculous to argue with this woman; how ignorant she was to say these words.

“Of course you can say that you have no obligation to maintain my mother’s marriage, but if you destroy it, you are either uneducated or shameless. Shen Kangyong, like you, is a person who has never seen him.”

“You and Shen Kangyong are in the same stream, he is disgusting, and you are not much better; one mastermind and one accomplice.”

“You said you did not harm my mother’s interests. Let me tell you that every penny Shen Kangyong spends on you and your son who can’t get on the stage is the common property of my mother and Shen Kangyong’s marriage.”

“This is the benefit; this is the damage; don’t you know why I laughed at you just now?”

“I laughed at you for being so old, and you are so ignorant and shameless. I laughed at you for saying that the son raised by M has a polite upbringing.”

As Lu Yuanbai said, he looked at Li Hanwei condescendingly, and said sarcastically, “You and Shen Kangyong are cheating on my mother behind your back, living like mice hiding in the sewer, and Shen Ciwen was born in this stinking sewer. Etiquette and upbringing that you and Shen Kangyong don’t have. Do you still expect Shen Ciwen to have them?”

Li Hanwei’s cheeks flushed with anger, and he couldn’t speak for a while.

“I tell you not to be ignorant of good or evil, I will generously let you go back and accept you, you white-eyed wolf, kindly treat it as a donkey’s liver and lungs.”

Lu Yuanbai looked at her, “How can there be any kindness? It was a donkey’s liver and lungs at the beginning, but you couldn’t recognize it.”

Li Hanwei’s original face with makeup became distorted.

“Lu Yuanbai, don’t be ignorant of good or evil!”

In Li Hanwei’s eyes, it was not that Lu Yuanbai didn’t want to go back to Shen’s house, but that she wouldn’t let him go back.

She came here today just to see that Shen Kangyong couldn’t let go of her heart. She generously acted as a good person to leave a good impression in Shen Kangyong’s heart and let Lu Yuanbai come back. Maybe because of this, Shen Kangyong will pay more attention to Shen Ciwen.

But Li Hanwei, who had been obsessed until today, knew that it was not that Lu Yuanbai was afraid of her and Ciwen that he would not return to Shen’s house, but that Lu Yuanbai did not care at all and didn’t want to go back.

The generosity she finally made was ridiculous.

“What do you have to show off now. Look at the way you are now, you go to the liquor bureau for money. Your father feels ashamed when he sees it, you don’t know what kind of work you are doing now. You act smiley faces in front of others, such a low class!”

“It’s just right that you don’t come back. In the future, everything in the Shen family will belong to our Ciwen, and you won’t get a single cent. Those family properties belong to our Ciwen.”

Speaking of which, Li Hanwei seemed to have caught something fatal.

“Don’t you hate us? But look now, who is living better between us?”

“You said that I am a shameless mistress, that your father is a mouse in the sewer, and that Ciwen is an illegitimate child who can’t get on the stage. Only you and your mother are innocent and upright, but look at your current embarrassment. Look at it now.”

“Aren’t you and your mother innocent? Then why are you mixed up at this point today?”

Lu Yuanbai gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly.

This was the case in this filthy era. People with etiquette and shame live in embarrassment and sorrow, while those who really hurt others without the slightest shame live better than anyone else and are richer.

Rdiculed, trampled on, and stepped on the soles of their feet.

People without conscience and morality will live better.

Li Hanwei still wanted to think of something to take a step forward, and raised her neck to reveal the necklace on it.

Lu Yuanbai’s pupils dilated sharply in an instant. The vile woman was carrying Lu Wanfang’s dowry around her neck.

Li Hanwei, “Now the hostess of the Shen family is me, and I don’t have everything I want, but your innocent mother and son live to make people laugh.”

“I don’t know where you have the courage to laugh at us. You gritted your teeth and didn’t admit it because you were so embarrassed. I think you are more ridiculous.”

“Lu Yuanbai, how beautiful you used to be. The young Master Shen, who is the favorite of the family, has not lost to our Ciwen in the end. What do you have to show off? You are more than our Ciwen, but it’s just an identity.”

“Your mother is stupid, and so are you. She doesn’t know current affairs. Look at how embarrassed she is now. Those good things are all mine now.”

She touched the necklace around her neck and said, “This necklace is good, but if she wears it now, it will be ruined, so it is more suitable for me.”

However, as soon as Li Hanwei finished speaking, she felt a tingling pain in her neck.

Lu Yuanbai, whose eyes were bloodshot, raised his hand and pulled the necklace off the woman’s neck.

“You don’t deserve my mother’s things!”

Li Hanwei was taken aback. Looking at Lu Yuanbai’s terrifying gaze, she thought for a while that Lu Yuanbai was going to do something with her.

“What are you doing… you… you?”

Lu Yuanbai raised his step and approached Li Hanwei, and the woman backed away in fright.

Finally forced to lean her back against the wall, Li Hanwei yelled out in fear, but the imaginary violence did not fall.

She raised her eyes and saw Lu Yuanbai looking at her mockingly.

“I am not a person like you, and I will not be a person like you.”

With that, Li Hanwei was driven out of the lounge.
