Lu Yichen felt that Kang Xiaoqiao was very interesting today. She was always silly and confused, completely different from her usual mischievous ways.
Therefore, he smiled and reached out his hand. After touching Kang Xiaoqiao's head, he grabbed Kang Xiaoqiao's small hand and said, "Didn't I say that I would bring you to see her? Then, this is my mother. Come--"
After saying this, he pulled Kang Xiaoqiao to kneel in front of the tombstone and introduced her very formally. "Mother, let me introduce you."
"This is my wife. Your daughter-in-law, Kang Xiaoqiao, is my own wife. You will definitely like her personality."
Then, he smiled and said to Kang Xiaoqiao, "Quickly say hello to mom."
Kang Xiaoqiao's face was pale. She looked at Lu Yichen in a daze. Seeing his serious look, Kang Xiaoqiao carefully looked at the tombstone.
The top-quality stone was engraved with 'Lu Wei's wife, the tomb of Xia Yu'.
Seeing this, Kang Xiaoqiao could not help but frown because this tombstone was erected by Lu Wei. Moreover, Lu Wei's name was on it.
This was not in line with the rules, because the living would not engrave their names on the tombstone. Even if some people wanted to make it convenient, they would engrave their names on the tombstone in red.
And everything on this tombstone was very simple. The font and color of the words were the same, which was a bit intriguing.
Although Lu Wei might not care too much about this, for the old lady of the Lu family, she probably wouldn't agree. As far as Kang Xiaoqiao knew, Lu Wei was the only pillar of the male generation in the Lu family. The other two brothers, one dead and one injured... The one who was injured was severely disabled.
Speaking of this mother-in-law called Xia Yu, er, from this name, one could feel that she was probably a gentle person. Combined with the photos Kang Xiaoqiao had seen before, it was even more certain.
Although being gentle was a good thing, on the other hand, she was soft and easy to bully. Based on the behavior of the Lu family, this mother-in-law of hers was probably bullied a lot.
Kang Xiaoqiao slowly exhaled, her voice was stiff. "Hello, hello."
...
Kang Xiaoqiao was still in a daze as she sat in the car. It felt like a dream.
Then, she sneaked a glance at Lu Yichen beside her. Now, he had returned to his cold and stern appearance. It was as if he had returned to being the wise and steady company leader, leaving behind the gentle and kind little boy in the cemetery. He was not a person at all.
Was it that everyone could only be like a child in front of their mother?
When she thought of herself back then, Kang Xiaoqiao felt relieved.
Wasn't she the same back then? She cried like a little girl on her mother's grave. However, wouldn't she still have to face the world bravely after leaving there?
Kang Xiaoqiao watched as Lu Yichen carefully removed the weeds on the grave and repaired them before leaving with Kang Xiaoqiao.
At this moment, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "That, Lu Yichen, your mother, how did she leave?"
Lu Yichen, who was originally calm, instantly became ferocious after hearing these words. His beautiful eyes quickly became ferocious, scaring Kang Xiaoqiao so much that she quickly curled up into a ball and lowered her presence.
Sigh, I shouldn't have asked. What does it have to do with me?
However, if I don't ask, my heart still itches. How could such a beautiful woman leave at such a young age? She still had the bracelet that this woman had left for her.
She should know some of it, right? Even if she couldn't get justice for her, at the very least, she had to know who hurt her.
Such a beautiful woman shouldn't have died so young. What a pity, what a pity...
Lu Yichen's hands gripped the steering wheel fiercely. It was as if he had used all his strength before he said two words. "Committed suicide--"
"What?"
This time, it was Kang Xiaoqiao's turn to widen her eyes. She was too shocked. Suicide?
Kang Xiaoqiao thought that her mother-in-law Xia Yu might have passed away due to illness, or she might have died by accident. However, she did not expect it to be self-destruction. Suicide...
Kang Xiaoqiao did not say another word for a long time. Meanwhile, Lu Yichen's fierce eyes seemed to have turned bloodthirsty. His expression seemed to be filled with a deep-rooted hatred.
Kang Xiaoqiao was so frightened by Lu Yichen's expression that she did not dare to say anything.
However, many scenes automatically appeared in her mind. From the moment she was brought to the Lu family, these scenes appeared in her mind.
Thinking about the situation in the Xia family, she thought that her mother-in-law, Xia Yu, was also a girl who grew up in the palm of her hand. When had she ever suffered such grievance?
To be punished to stand in front of the door in public, she would probably be ashamed to death. Even someone like her, who had been trained to be thick-skinned in society, could not stand it, let alone Xia Yu's mother-in-law, who had been pampered by thousands of people?
There was also the feeling that she would kneel down and apologize at any moment. Everyone was standing on the opposite side. Kang Xiaoqiao herself thought about the situation at that time and was extremely angry, let alone such a weak mother-in-law?
Moreover, Kang Xiaoqiao was not sure what would happen to her if Lu Yichen did not rush over and stood firmly in front of her?
So what if she was good at fighting? If she did not stand on her own feet, or if she loved Lu Yichen to the point of being unable to extricate herself, then she would be a head shorter in front of these people. She would probably endure some anger for her man, right?
It was simply too easy for a mother-in-law to teach her daughter-in-law a lesson.
However, even if she was bullied, she would not go so far as to commit suicide because she still had her lover and her child. How could she bear to do so?
Unless, unless...
Kang Xiaoqiao stared blankly at Lu Yichen. The answer was obvious. She could tell from Lu Yichen's attitude towards his father.
Also, when they left the Lu family, Lu Yichen had said to Lu Wei that a general was incompetent and couldn't protect his wife and child. How ironic was that?
And to let a woman, especially a woman with a child, choose to commit suicide, how disappointed was she in this world? How desperate was she to make such a choice?
How much suffering and grievance had she, Xia Yu, suffered? Thinking of this, Kang Xiaoqiao's heart was filled with anxiety.
If she were to put herself in Lu Yichen's shoes at that time, he wouldn't have come to protect her. Instead, he would have made her kneel down and apologize, or he would have personally used the Family Law to hit her...
Kang Xiaoqiao's heart turned cold just thinking about it, and her attitude towards Lu Wei became worse and worse. That's right, only a man's inaction or indulgence would make a woman's heart turn cold, and only then would the pain be unbearable...
Of course, this could also be because Lu Yichen's mother was too weak. She had the courage to face death, but she actually didn't have the courage to live.
Kang Xiaoqiao didn't know what Lu Yichen's mother had experienced, which made her lose her desire for life. But if she thought from another perspective, she wouldn't be like this.
If a man was unreliable, then change him. Whoever bullied her would get justice. There was no reason for her to suffer alone while others lived comfortably. In Kang Xiaoqiao's dictionary, there was no such reason.
