The Regent's Little Wife

Chapter 398 Lu Junyan learns of Lu Zhiyao's death

Li Shishi snorted coldly: "My daughter has recovered, what else can make me excited?"

The nurse hesitated for a moment and said, "It's about your other daughter, Lu Zhiyao."

Li Shishi immediately stood up and shouted angrily, "What's wrong with that bitch? Does she still want us to accompany her? I have already hired a nurse for her, the cost is more than 2000 a day, and she is still living in the VIP ward, which costs more than a day. What else does she want? Tell her to be sensible."

The nurse was stunned. She originally wanted to say that Lu Zhiyao had unfortunately passed away due to a surgical error and was not treated in time, and was now in the morgue. But facing the attitude of the family, she did not dare to say anything more.

Li Shishi shouted, "Don't mention anything about her anymore. Go and do your own thing. Don't disturb my daughter's rest."

The young nurse was so frightened that she fled the VIP ward in a hurry. Lu Wange laughed in her heart that the plan went so smoothly.

Lu Wange spent a long month in bed, and finally the day came for her to be discharged from the hospital. The whole family happily took her home, and laughter filled the whole villa.

However, at this joyous moment, Lu Junyan felt a little uneasy. But... Second Sister should be discharged soon, right? Why didn't anyone in the family ask her?

He knew that today was the day his eldest sister was discharged from the hospital, and mentioning Lu Zhiyao might make everyone unhappy, but he always felt that something bad had happened.

He couldn't help but ask, "Dad, Mom, sister Yaoyao should be discharged soon, right? Is there anyone to pick her up?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shishi immediately showed a dissatisfied expression. She said expressionlessly: "She has been discharged from the hospital a long time ago. I notified the whole family in the family group today to pick her up. Where is she? Where did she go? This ignorant person, just wait and see how I will deal with her when I get home!"

At this moment, a small figure was watching them silently in the corner. She was Lu Zhiyao, but she was no longer the lively and lovely girl. A month ago, she closed her eyes forever in the operating room. Her soul could only float around the Lu family and witness everything.

She looked at her mother's cold and ruthless words, and a feeling of bitterness welled up in her heart. She stood behind her mother and said softly: "Mom, how can you ask me to pick up Lu Wange? Do you know? I am no longer here. I died a month ago."

When Lu Junyan heard his mother's words, he also felt guilty. They were both daughters, so why did his mother favor his eldest sister so much, but was so indifferent to her own daughter? At this moment, he felt a little sympathy for Lu Zhiyao.

The whole family returned to the villa happily, but Lu Zhiyao did not appear in the welcoming crowd. Li Shishi angrily asked the housekeeper: "Where is Lu Zhiyao? Tell her to get down from upstairs immediately and see her elder sister!"

The housekeeper was confused. The last time he saw Lu Zhiyao was more than a month ago. That day, Lu Jingxing suddenly pulled Lu Zhiyao out, and she never returned to the villa. He replied awkwardly, "Madam Chairman, the second young lady has never returned home."

Li Shishi became even more angry after hearing this: "What? That bitch didn't come back? It turns out she is the bitch out there! She has been playing with her heart since she was a child in the orphanage! If she doesn't want to come back, then she shouldn't come back!"

After that, she ordered the housekeeper to freeze the bank card under Lu Zhiyao's name. "Without the Lu family, she is nothing! You give her so much money every month. Now I see that you don't have this money. You will roll back to the Lu family in less than three days! Then I will see how I deal with her!"

The butler was even more embarrassed, as he had no idea which bank card the chairman's wife was referring to when she froze it.

Since Lu Zhiyao returned home, the chairman and her two brothers have never given her a bank card.

He asked tentatively, "Madam Chairman, since the second young lady returned home, the chairman and her two brothers have never given her a bank card. I wonder which card the chairman's wife is referring to?"

However, no one answered his question. Lu Zhiyao's soul watched all this silently, her heart filled with sadness and helplessness. She used to be a member of this family, but now, she is just a ghost who can't go back. She looked at her mother's cold and ruthless appearance, and a surge of hatred surged in her heart. She hated her mother's partiality, her mother's indifference, and even more her own powerlessness.

Lu Junyan stood quietly aside without interrupting, but his heart was surging. He listened to the housekeeper's words, and his heart was filled with ripples. Yes, what has their family done to that sister since she came home? He looked around and saw the cold attitude of the whole family towards this sister, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart. He felt as if he was in a strange world, and everything here became so strange and indifferent.

He was eager to escape from this suffocating space and to breathe some fresh air outside. So he stepped out of the gate of the villa. Standing outside, he took a deep breath and felt a little calmer. However, his heart was still full of doubts and uneasiness.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered something and immediately turned to his car. He started the car and drove towards the hospital. His heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness, as if something important was waiting for him to reveal.

When he arrived at the hospital, he rushed directly to the operating room where he had been last time. He searched the crowd and finally saw the nurse. He walked up to her, grabbed her arm tightly, and asked anxiously, "Let me ask you, what did you say to my mother that day?"

The nurse was startled by his sudden action and struggled to get rid of his hand. However, Lu Junyan held her tightly, his eyes full of anxiety and expectation.

The nurse looked at his anxious eyes and finally remembered what happened that day. She took a deep breath and said as calmly as possible, "It happened a month ago. Your sister died on the same day because of inadequate post-operative care. I was going to go to the ward to inform you, but I didn't expect to be scolded by the chairman's wife."

Hearing this, Lu Junyan seemed to be struck by lightning, and his body suddenly stiffened. His eyes were full of disbelief and pain, and he asked in a trembling voice: "What did you say? What happened to my sister?"

The nurse looked at his painful expression and couldn't help feeling sad. She sighed and said, "Please don't get excited. The patient has passed away. This is an unchangeable fact. What were you doing earlier? If you had discovered and dealt with the problem in time, perhaps this would not have happened."

When Lu Junyan heard this, he felt an indescribable anger and grief. He tightly grasped the nurse's arm, as if he wanted to find some comfort and strength from it. He said in a trembling voice: "You lied to me, didn't you? Can you let her out and go back with me? I promise to treat her well in the future."

However, the nurse shook her head gently, her eyes full of helplessness and sympathy. She looked at Lu Junyan's painful expression and couldn't help feeling sad. She knew that some things in this world are irreversible and some regrets can never be made up.
