Chapter 259 Frank disclosure
Lu Dingsheng originally felt that he had a lot to say, but when Xu Fanghua asked him this question, he didn't know where to start and just looked at Xu Fanghua silently.
Xu Fanghua thought he had nothing to say and was about to get up.
Lu Dingsheng said: "Xingchen has always been in my household registration."
Xu Fanghua's back stiffened slightly and he sat back down.
In order to expel her from the Lu family, Old Lady Lu threatened her with Lu Xingchen and forced her to divorce Lu Dingsheng and marry Lu Wenli. Only in this way could Lu Xingchen continue to stay in the Lu family and not be troubled by the Lu family.
Although Xingchen later left the Lu family, she did not live with Lu Wenli because she married him. She lived alone, so her household registration was still under Lu Dingsheng's name. But what did Lu Dingsheng mean by telling her this now?
"I don't quite understand what you mean by saying this suddenly?"
Lu Dingsheng: "Xingchen is still my daughter."
As long as he didn't mind, she wouldn't deny it.
"I still don't quite understand what you're trying to say."
"I want to say that Xingchen still has the legal right to inherit everything I have. No matter when she wants to return to the Lu family, it is natural for her to come to the Lu family."
In the past, Xu Fanghua might have been obsessed with these money and status, but now that he reminded her of this, she suddenly felt that these were illusory. At the same time, she also felt that if Lu Dingsheng had promised her this before, she might have felt more at ease, but now his words also made her feel that they were illusory.
"Why are you suddenly telling me this?"
Lu Dingsheng answered truthfully: "I just found out that you concealed my Xingchen's background and Lu Wenli's affairs. I really hate you. If I hadn't been looking at Xingchen, I don't know what excessive punishment I would have given you. I believe that I have done nothing wrong to you in our love and marriage."
Xu Fanghua suddenly remembered what Lu Xingchen said, that the reason why Yang Wenqi was pregnant with his child was because the old lady put drugs in Lu Dingsheng's food.
Of course, even if Lu Dingsheng had children with Yang Wenqi or other women under normal circumstances, she could not deny that Lu Dingsheng owed her nothing in their relationship.
Xu Fanghua looked apologetic: "I know that I have failed your kindness. Even after you discovered my concealment, I tried to use the identity of a 'victim' to seek a little hope of redemption.
I even deceived myself into thinking that I could take advantage of your softness towards us mother and daughter to maintain the so-called family of three, until the old lady brought Yang Wenqi back and said she was pregnant with your child. I couldn't tell whether I was acting or reflecting the truth, making myself look like a resentful woman. "
Lu Dingsheng frowned slightly after hearing this.
But Xu Fanghua started to speak, and his brows relaxed.
"Thinking about it afterwards, you tolerated my failure to give you another child and raised Xingchen as your only child so well, but I selfishly took advantage of your sincerity towards us mother and daughter and deprived you of the chance to have your own child. This is my original sin. So no matter how terrible things I have experienced over the years, I can think that it is my own fault and I deserve the punishment."
Xu Fanghua's voice was as non-aggressive as before. She didn't even talk directly, but instead organized her words to express her inner thoughts while talking to him. But because of this, Lu Dingsheng saw her undisguised thoughts.
Although the two of them are over a hundred years old in total, Lu Dingsheng still has the illusion that "this girl has grown up" when he looks at the woman in front of him who has wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and whose skin is no longer as tight as before.
Even after she analyzed herself so frankly, she asked him back with some confusion and vigilance, "But, it's been so many years, why did you suddenly tell me that Xingchen is still registered in the Lu family?"
This made him feel that her words were somewhat aggressive. Since they had met and wanted to talk to her, Lu Dingsheng did not think about hiding anything and expressed his meaning honestly.
"I haven't stepped forward to help you and your daughter over the years. The high-sounding reason is that my excessive attention will make you suffer the attention of other people in the Lu family. In fact, there is another reason. I can't let go of my resentment towards you. Later, I thought about your situation. I thought that if you took six-year-old Xingchen away from the Lu family, your situation might be more difficult than it is now. I feel a little lucky that you let Xingchen stay. Maybe you raised her. When I think about throwing her away at the beginning, I would feel very cruel and panic. "
Lu Dingsheng couldn't help but stop here and adjust his mood.
Xu Fanghua had never questioned the fatherly love he gave to Lu Xingchen, and they had lived as a true father-daughter relationship for nearly twenty years.
"I'm sorry." Xu Fanghua apologized again.
Lu Dingsheng raised his hand, indicating that he didn't want to hear her apologize today, "Especially later I heard that you and Lu Wenli were forced to be together by your mother, and she threatened you with Xingchen, and later the Lu family framed me... I'm very ashamed."
"Those things are what I deserve. They have nothing to do with you. Besides, you have your own position, and I understand."
This is exactly the same as what Xingchen said.
Although many people said in the past that Lu Xingchen's personality and behavior were like him, Lu Dingsheng knew that he was too snobbish. Even though he brought Xingchen up to be like him, the child still had kindness and magnanimity that he did not have, which was inherited from her mother.
"I told you that Xingchen is under my household registration because I want to tell you that the Lu family's property is still hers."
Even though she felt guilty and believed in his feelings for Lu Xingchen, Xu Fanghua still resisted hearing these words as she had just heard, and she looked directly at Lu Dingsheng.
"Excuse me, if you only speak for yourself, I have no doubts. But if you don't talk about the other members of the Lu family, will your mother and your wife take it for granted?"
Lu Dingsheng frowned and declared: "Even if Xingchen doesn't return to the Lu family, I, as her father, will keep everything for her. You don't have to worry about these."
Xu Fanghua couldn't help but ponder over these words for a moment, but still smiled without comment.
"Xingchen is an adult, and she has more independent ideas than me. It's up to her to decide whether she needs what you give her. But in my opinion, instead of leaving her property, she should have more room for normal development."
When she said this, gratitude appeared in her eyes.
"I used to think it was important which household registration book she was in, but you really taught her well, so no matter which household registration book she was in, she should be able to support herself well. And from what you know about her, she may care about you as a father much more than the property you gave her."
Lu Dingsheng was slightly stunned when he heard this.
Xu Fanghua: "And now you have your new family and children. I know you love Xingchen, but the cruel thing is that your love for her is a threat to your current family. The more you love her and the more outstanding she is, the greater the threat will be, and the greater the burden and obstacle will be on her.
I'm sorry, I've thought about this before, and I wanted to keep Xingchen by your side in the Lu family so that she could live a better life. But Xingchen thought further than we did. Isn't it because she was afraid of becoming a burden and threat to you that she chose to leave you?"
