The Mysterious Heiress: Researcher In Disguise

Chapter 82

Chapter 82: I’ll Ask Your Father To Amputate You Tonight

“There are baseball bats and feather dusters in mommy’s room. Just pick whatever you like.”

These were the words Lu Yumo heard when he went downstairs.

After Xu Wei took the bottle of supplement from Fu Zhi, she quickly left the house.

Lu Yumo looked at Fu Zhi with a guilty expression on his face.

The two of them stared at each other and stayed silent for a long time. Then, Fu Zhi broke the silence first and said with a frown, “You gave the card to Zhou Tingting.”

Even though her eyes contained no emotion, Lu Yumo knew she was angry right now.

He bit his lower lip, clenched his fists, and averted his gaze. Then, he said, “No. I did not!”

Lu Yumo was more than 180 centimeters tall, not to mention that he was now standing on the staircase. Fu Zhi looked particularly petite from his point of view, and he wondered if she had been having proper meals or not.

Fu Zhi remained unperturbed when she heard Lu Yumo’s answer. She slowly raised her head and looked at him silently. Just as Lu Yumo thought she was not going to say anything, she opened her mouth and said, emphasizing every syllable that tumbled off her tongue, “Is that so? How are you going to explain why Zhou Tingting showed up at the research institute?”

Lu Yumo was shocked. He snapped his head back to face Fu Zhi and retorted, “That’s not possible! There’s no way she would go to the research institute!”

“Then what?” Fu Zhi asked, “Are you saying that I’m calumniating her?”

“That’s not what I meant.”

Under normal circumstances, Lu Yumo would not have given such a definite answer, but it was different this time.

To protect his own limbs as well as his love, who was as fragile as a bubble, he had thrown the access card into a pool at school after a lot of consideration.

The pool was about three meters deep, so it would be impossible for anyone to fish the card up once it sank to the bottom. Besides, he had told Zhou Tingting that neither of them was going to the research institute, and Zhou Tingting had promised him that she would give up on her dream for the sake of his legs.

Lu Yumo knew it was his fault for throwing the access card into the pool, but that was the best solution he had been able to come up with at the time. After all, if he gave the card to Zhou Tingting, Fu Zhi would break his legs, and if he refused to give the card to Zhou Tingting, she would break up with him.

He dared not look Fu Zhi in the eye, so he lowered his head once again. After another long silence that seemed to last for an eternity, he said hesitantly, “In any case, there’s no way she would be there. You must’ve made a mistake!”

In the hospital of Yu City...

Both Lu Chuwan and Bai Yao were in the intensive care unit by the time Xu Wei arrived.

Madam Xu’s health had gotten worse due to old age. In combination with her heart disease, she looked even scrawnier after staying for a few days in the hospital.

“Mom, I brought you the supplement. Zhizhi asked me to tell you that this supplement cannot be taken with cold-natured medicine, as their medicinal properties are different,” Xu Wei said as she took the bottle out of her purse and put it on the table.

She did not even spare Bai Yao and Lu Chuwan a glance or a greeting, instead treating them as if they were invisible. After she finished speaking, she walked to the other side and took a seat.
