Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart Chapter 594 - The Truth From All Those Years Ago

Chapter 594: The Truth From All Those Years Ago

Lu Liangwei was shocked. “Mother, someone tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate you when you left?”

Ling Lihua nodded. “Yes. I wonder if that group of a.s.sa.s.sins had anything to do with the mastermind behind all this. I was pushed to the edge of a cliff back then, though I had dispatched most of the a.s.sa.s.sins. Your father arrived close to the end of the brawl, and I took the opportunity to jump off the cliff.”

Lu Liangwei had a thought. “So, getting revenge on Father was not the only reason you jumped off the cliff. The main reason you jumped was to make your a.s.sailants think that you were dead?”

Ling Lihua replied with slight unease. “Indeed, I jumped because I wanted the person who ordered my a.s.sa.s.sination to think that I was dead. After all, I just wanted to leave quietly. I didn’t want to be hunted down continuously all my life. Even so, the main reason I did that was still because I wanted revenge on your father!”

She was almost grinding her teeth when she said the last sentence.

Lu Liangwei’s lips twitched. Her mother can be quite stubborn at times.

She could not help teasing, “Mother, you did it because you knew Father would suffer miserably if you died, am I right?”

Ling Lihua turned her face away awkwardly as she grunted coldly. “I doubt that he suffered. Didn’t he simply welcome another woman into his arms?”

Lu Liangwei smiled and said, “From what I understand, it almost drove Father out of his mind when he saw you jump off the cliff. If it wasn’t for Grandmother, you would never have been able to see Father again today.”

With that, the smile on Lu Liangwei’s face disappeared. No matter what had happened, she was still quite sad for her father.

Ling Lihua was slightly taken aback by this revelation.

When Lu Liangwei noticed this, she took the opportunity to push on. “How could Father cheat on you when he loves you so much? Anyway, I would never believe it. There must be something about this that we aren’t aware of.”

Ling Lihua sighed and tousled Lu Liangwei’s hair. “Weiwei, you’re too naïve. As a father, he has done well, but as a husband, he failed the test. Do you know what those people who came after me all those years ago told me?”

Lu Liangwei’s brows furrowed. “Those a.s.sa.s.sins wouldn’t have said that Father was the one who sent them after you, would they?”

Ling Lihua nodded. “That’s exactly what they told me.”

Lu Liangwei frowned as she said anxiously, “And you believed them?”

Ling Lihua smiled bitterly. “I was hurt immensely by your Father all those years ago, and I harbored a deep hatred for him then. I was seething with anger and could not act rationally. Naturally, I believed them when they said those provoking words. However, when I saw your Father rus.h.i.+ng toward me at the cliff edge, I calmed down a bit. I knew your Father could never be so despicable, but it does not change the fact that he betrayed me. That is why I said that he failed the test as a husband. Weiwei, you’re still young. You shouldn’t be looking at things based only on the surface.”

Lu Liangwei could only take one of Ling Lihua’s arms and hug it. She nuzzled against Ling Lihua’s shoulder with her cheek. “Mother, what you said is right. I might not be able to see through other people, but when it comes to Father, I believe that there is no way he would ever betray you. Father is such a good man, how could he ever cheat on you?”

Ling Lihua laughed at this. “Of course you would be inclined to think that he’s a good man when he loves you so much. That’s enough. There’s no need for you to constantly speak up for him in front of me. I know well enough whether he is a good person or not.”

Lu Liangwei felt a little deflated over this. She shook Ling Lihua’s arm. “Mother, why can’t you see that Father loves me so much because I look like you, and because I’m your child. If I was someone else’s child, Father would never have cared if I lived or died. I am blessed with so much of Father’s love only because of you.”
