Chapter 279 Forgive Dad
“But Dad wants to see you,” Lu Kai said. “Jingchen, I’ve favored you since you were little, which is proof enough that my love for you is real. So Jingchen, please forgive Dad, okay?”
"How can you expect me to forgive you?" Lu Jingchen's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, his emotions reaching their peak. "I am your illegitimate child, born out of wedlock. If I weren't a man, if I were a girl, would you still love me as much as before? I bet you would have just abandoned me and never cared about me again."
Lu Kai's face instantly turned extremely ugly. How unbearable and embarrassing it was to have his darkest side exposed by his son.
"Jingchen, I was wrong before, but I didn't do anything to wrong you. Besides, your sister has already forgiven me, so please don't hold it against me, okay? I don't have much time left..."
"My sister is my sister, and I am me. You can't compare me to someone else!" Lu Jingchen roared. "Why would my sister forgive you? It's because she pities you, because she's soft-hearted! I'm different. I'm hard-hearted. I've inherited your shamelessness to the extreme! So I will never forgive you, even if you die..."
"Enough!" Lu Qianqian couldn't stand it anymore. "Jingchen, things have come to this point. Can't you put aside all the pain and hatred for now? Dad's illness has worsened, and he doesn't have much time left. Do you really want Dad to leave with regrets?"
Lu Jingchen: "..."
He really couldn't stand it anymore.
It seemed that all the anger could not be expressed at this moment, and only painful cries could be uttered, and the sound even grew louder and louder, like a roar.
“Child…” Tears streamed down Lu Kai’s face, his tearful appearance evoking sympathy and pity.
He struggled to stand up, fell down and got up again, fell down and got up again, reached out and grabbed Lu Jingchen's hand, and then looked at his face.
But they found him already crying his eyes out.
At that moment, Lu Kai couldn't help but hug him and cry with him.
Lu Qianqian's eyes also reddened as she looked on. She turned around and went to the garden, leaving enough space for the father and son. Then she took out her phone and called Rong Changqing: "Second Young Master, how is Old Madam Rong?"
"You're awake. Everything's alright now." Rong Changqing's voice sounded a little tired. "Have you had breakfast?"
"I've already eaten. I have something to tell you." Lu Qianqian heard that Madam Rong was alright, so she didn't ask any further questions. She only told him about Lu Kai's worsening condition. "Right now, the father and son are crying their hearts out. I'm taking a walk in the garden."
"Okay, don't overwork yourself. I can't leave here for the time being. Remember to eat." Rong Changqing instructed her.
After agreeing, Lu Qianqian hung up the phone and then sat down to rest in the garden.
……
Inside the private hospital, Madam Rong had woken up, but her eyes were full of resentment as she looked at Rong Changqing.
Rong Zhenhua sat next to Madam Rong, his gaze fixed on Rong Changqing.
Lu Yalan was peeling an apple nearby, watching the commotion, and couldn't resist adding fuel to the fire: "Mom is usually in good health, and she passed all her subjects at her last checkup. How come she's in the hospital so early this morning?"
"You were angered by someone else!" Rong Zhenhua glared fiercely at Rong Changqing. "What exactly are you doing? Now that you've grown wings, you think you can do whatever you want? Not only did you anger your grandmother to the point of hospitalization, but you also casually married a tainted woman!"
"Dad!" Rong Changqing said in a low voice, clearly displeased, "I won't allow you to talk about Qianqian like that!"
"I'm your father!" Rong Zhenhua slammed his hand on the chair, making a heavy thud. "Rong Changqing, don't you know that your identity, your status, and your every move are related to the honor and disgrace of our Rong family? If everyone finds out that you, the dignified second young master of the Rong family, actually married a notorious woman, where will we put our faces?"
“Heh…” Rong Changqing suddenly let out a low laugh, “First of all, Qianqian is not infamous. On the contrary, she is very kind and is the only woman I have ever truly loved in my life.”
Furthermore, being born into the Rong family was not a choice I could make. If I could, I would never have wanted to be born into this family! So, stop trying to pressure me with the Rong family name, because I don't care about them at all.
"Rong Changqing, what do you mean by that?" Rong Zhenhua roared angrily. "Do you even consider me your father anymore?"
"You're my father?" Rong Changqing laughed in anger, pointing at Lu Yalan and saying, "Look at you, didn't you also abandon your wife and children for so-called love back then? Over the years, have you ever shown me any care or love? There are even rumors circulating that I'm your illegitimate child, have you ever responded to that?"
"None of that matters!" Rong Zhenhua said angrily. "I'm busy with work and can't give you care and love, but who am I busy for? Isn't it for your future? As for the outside world's opinions, why bother with them?"
"Fine, since you don't care about it, why do you have to bring me and Qianqian up? Chairman Rong, you don't take public opinion seriously one minute, and the next minute you say it seriously affects the Rong family's image and tarnishes the Rong family's reputation. You're too hypocritical."
"You, Rong Changqing." Rong Zhenhua's face turned completely black with anger. "I'll ask you one last time, are you determined to be with that woman?"
"Of course!" Rong Changqing replied without hesitation.
"Fine, very well!" Rong Zhenhua nodded angrily. "From today onwards, I will cut off all your bank cards, and you no longer need to join the Rong Group. It has nothing to do with you!"
"I couldn't be happier!" Rong Changqing sneered, completely unconcerned that his family's financial support had been cut off.
"You..." Rong Zhenhua roared, "You can still laugh now? I want to see if that woman will still follow you now that you're broke!"
“You might lose this,” Rong Changqing said confidently. “How can my feelings for Qianqian be measured by money? Alright, don’t be angry anymore. I’ve just solved a big problem for you!”
"What big trouble?" Rong Zhenhua asked in a deep voice.
Rong Changqing spread his hands, a faint smile on his lips, and walked out as he spoke: "What a big problem I am! From now on, the Rong family has nothing to do with me, and I am not a descendant of the Rong family. In this way, you can give the entire Rong family to Rong Ziqing without having to rack your brains to decide who to give it to!"
"You, you..." Rong Zhenhua was so angry that he couldn't speak, and Lu Yalan helped him calm down.
"Look at this mess!" Rong Zhenhua glared at the old lady and said, "This is what you've done to her; she's become completely unruly!"
