Chapter 371: Was That Cheating?
While Rong Yue Wan planned against her, Lu AnLing had not yet reached the Tang family home.
In the car, Lu AnLing held onto Kang Mingyu tightly, who had cried slightly and now clung to her chest. She still felt slightly fearful that she would lose him and so, she didn't try to remove him. Only when they had arrived at the Tang Mansion that she had lifted him in her arms.
Kang Mei Xue and Lu Yuxi had noticed something strange between Lu AnLing and Kang Mingyu but they didn't say anything. They just kept quiet until they finally arrived at their destination.
Once there, Lu AnLing, the kids and Rong Xin went to the door and when it opened, they were warmly welcomed by Elder Tang.
The old man was much happier than usual and Lu AnLing found this slightly strange but she didn't say anything about it.
Inside, Tang Bingyi sat on one couch on her phone while on another, Tang Yian sat with Lu Xiaoling.
Seeing her mother, Lu AnLing cocked her head, "Mom? What are you doing here?"
Lu Xiaoling greeted her daughter and then she said, "Elder Tang invited me."
Lu Xiaoling had not planned on going anywhere that day. In fact, because she and Xu Shen had decided to divorce, Lu Xiaoling had felt a bit empty and she had decided to contemplate her life and decisions.
Xu Shen was an amazing man. Lu Xiaoling knew this well, but this was shown to her even more clearly when Xu Shen had decided to divorce her.
Her happiness and his happiness; Xu Shen had thought about them both and he had made the mature decision that Lu Xiaoling would never have.
Lu Xiaoling still owed so much to Xu Shen. Even if she didn't love him romantically, she would have remained by his side until they were old and grey. But that choice would have been a mistake. She knew this now. Xu Shen made her realize that she was not only hurting herself, or him but the children also.
She had been utterly selfish. Lu Xiaoling understood this now.
Looking at her daughter. Lu Xiaoling felt her heart palpitate.
"AnLing... there's something I need to tell you." Lu Xiaoling started.
Thought hearing her mother's voice, Lu AnLing sighed, "Is this about the divorce?"
Hearing this, Lu Xiaoling's eyes widened. "How did you—"
"How'd I know?" Lu AnLing completed Lu Xiaoling's sentence. "Well, I heard from Shuya. Will Uncle Shen be leaving the house?"
"No. Of course not. The Lu house is as much his at it is mine, but he did say he wanted to—" Lu Xiaoling spoke, but suddenly, Tang Yian interrupted her.
"You're divorcing? Why?" Tang Yian said with a frown on his face.
Seeing the man's reaction, Lu Xiaoling frowned herself, "That's none of your business."
"How is it not my business?" Tang Yian said. After thinking about it for a while, Tang Yian had decided that he would not interfere in Lu Xiaoling and Xu Shen's happiness. he wanted her to be happy and Tang Yian believed that Xu Shen could give her that.
But now they where divorcing! Tang Yian couldn't help but feeling at fault.
By his reaction and the look on his face, Lu Xiaoling knew that the man blamed himself for something that had nothing to do with him. So she internally sighed.
"How is it not not your business?" Lu Xiaoling answered childishly.
Hearing this childish response, Tang Yian frowned but then, a thought came to mind that made him frown even more. "He didn't... cheat on you, did he?"
"No!" Lu Xiaoling almost screamed. "Xu Shen is a sweetheart and a godsend, if someone had ended up doing something wrong it would have been me."
Lu Xiaoling felt her heart squeeze. Still loving Tang Yian for so long, was that cheating? Maybe emotionally...
The woman wallowed in her pain, but Tang Yian wouldn't allow that. Instead his eyes widened, and he said, "did you..."
Tang Yian quickly realized he was about to speak nonsense. Lu Xiaoling was too prideful to cheat on someone who she married... but since he had already spoken, Lu Xiaoling glared at Tang Yian.
"Excuse me!" Lu Xiaoling screamed.
Again, the two ended up in their own world.
Listening to the two bicker, Elder Tang didn't know if he should laugh or cry, but in the end, the elder had gotten what he had wanted. He had invited Lu Xiaoling in order to serve as a distraction after all!
Though watching the two argue, Elder Tang felt bad for his son. The boy was such a bad communicator when it came to Lu Xiaoling that Elder Tang was sure that Lu Xiaoling would give him an earful.
He cared, he had half a mind to stop that from happening, but instead of concentrating on the two, Elder Tang turned to Lu AnLing.
"Come on my dear, and the children," Elder Tang said as he touched Lu AnLing's arm. "Come sit."
Lu AnLing and the kids did as such. Elder Tang even asked if Rong Xin wanted to sit but the man decided against it.
Once Lu AnLing sat down, the kids felt a bit restless and so Lu AnLing had told them to go play and then she and Rong Xin had exchanged eye contact, before the man left to accompany the kids.
This left Lu AnLing, Elder Tang and Tang Bingyi in their own world.
"So, has the Infinity Project started?" Elder Tang asked curiously.
At first, Elder Tang wanted to pry more into Lu AnLing's life but instead of doing as such so obviously, the old man, feeling slightly awkward inquired about something else.
Hearing this, both his granddaughters exchanged looks and then Tang Bingyi spoke.
"It's been delayed."
Elder Tang frowned, "Again? Why?"
This time, Lu AnLing spoke, "According to Jun, the other partner seems busy so he hasn't had the time to meet everyone..."
Tang Bingyi nodded, "There is still some paperwork to deal with also..."
Hearing this, Elder Tang nodded. He wasn't quite interested in what was going on with the infinity project. If Kang Jun, Tang Bingyi and even Lu AnLing were working on it, Elder Tang had faith it would succeed. Kang Jun himself was one of the most successful business people that he had ever met, so if Kang Jun couldn't do it, no one could.
But right now, the thought was unimportant.
