Chapter 170: Settlement

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Luo Ying remembered Lu Zhao’s journey in the original novel.

At that time, he had worked with superhuman effort to find his mother. His mother had left him when he was very young.

Luo Ying lowered her head and stared at the ground, holding back her tears.

Lu Zhao had gone to war with his grandfather for her. It was going to be even more difficult for him to find his mother.

Sirius noticed Luo Ying’s expression and felt a little guilty.

This woman was not as heartless as he had imagined.

“That’s why I hated you so much before, Luo Ying.” Sirius’ eyes fell on Luo Ying. “I was once trapped by love and paid dearly for this, so I hope my brother won’t experience this.”

Sirius’ words pierced Luo Ying’s heart like a knife.

She could not imagine what Lu Zhao had gone through.

“I understand.” Luo Ying took a deep breath. “I’ll handle this matter. Don’t worry, I won’t drag Lu Zhao down.”

When Sirius saw Luo Ying’s determined expression, his next words did not leave the tip of his tongue.

Luo Ying had indeed changed a lot. After the jumped off the building, she had transformed into a different person. Her feelings for Lu Zhao were not as insincere as he had imagined.

“Alright.” Chi Yu nodded.

For some reason, he had a feeling that Luo Ying might save his brother or help him.

“Oh, right. There’s one more thing.” Sirius hesitated.

“What is it?” asked Luo Ying.

Sirius thought about it and shook his head. He wanted to say something but hesitated.

“I understand.” Luo Ying caught on.

He still cared about Su Su. Although it had been so long, Su Su still took a place in his heart. A part of him would still be worried about her.

“Su Su is fine, don’t worry. She already has a roof over her head,” Luo Ying said. “She’s safe now.”

Sirius nodded, sighed, and said softly, “Thank you.”

Sirius may no longer be actively trying to ruin her relationship with Lu Zhao.

However, Old Master Lu was even more troublesome than Sirius.

In the original novel, Luo Ying had died in the early chapters. Old Master Lu did not make things difficult for Lu Zhao for her sake.

Lu Zhao’s mother’s whereabouts were also briefly mentioned.

Although Luo Ying had some guesses, she could not connect the dots just yet. She rubbed her aching eyebrows.

“I’ll think of a way to deal with Lu Zhao’s mother. But I might need your help,” said Luo Ying.

She looked at Sirius.

Sirius nodded. He wanted to choose to believe Luo Ying.

The two of them chatted about Lu Zhao’s mother for a while more before he left.

Luo Ying walked back to the bedroom.

Lu Zhao was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.

After the illness acted up, Lu Zhao was like a wounded puppy. He had exhausted his strength and needed to find a warm place to sleep.

Luo Ying reached out and gently stroked his forehead. She had to think of a way to help Lu Zhao find his mother.

Suddenly, Lu Zhao opened his eyes and reached out to grab Luo Ying’s hand. His eyes were filled with fatigue, but he still looked at Luo Ying gently.

“You’re awake?” Luo Ying asked.

Lu Zhao nodded and placed his face on Luo Ying’s palm, like a puppy looking for warmth.

“In the future, if you ever face troubles, don’t fight them by yourself, do you understand?” Luo Ying said gently.

Lu Zhao opened his eyes and stared at her. “Sirius told you?”

Luo Ying nodded. “Do not hold it against him for that.”

Luo Ying slowly lay down, wrapped her arms around Lu Zhao’s waist, and buried her head in his embrace. “You should have told me about this. The two of us can think of a solution together. It’s better than you keeping it to yourself.”

Lu Zhao caressed her hair. “You didn’t need to know. This is my business. I don’t need you to share it.”

Luo Ying reproachfully patted Lu Zhao. “How can you say that? If I’m the reason you can’t reunite with your mother, that would weigh heavily on me.”

“It’s not your fault.” Lu Zhao shook his head.

How could he blame Luo Ying? She was the love of his life.

Old Master Lu was the culprit. For some reason, he had gone all out to split the two of them apart.

Luo Ying hugged him even tighter.

“Trust me. I will definitely help you find your mother,” Luo Ying said, “Why don’t we fake a divorce? That way, we can deceive Grandpa.”

Lu Zhao shook his head and smiled. Why was his Luo Ying so silly?

“Do you think he would buy that? He has even more resources than I do..”
