1787 A Drunk Mind Speaks a Sober Heart Part Thirty-Two

Zhou Shuang sighed heavily and shook her head. She dismissed Xuxu’s questions with a wave of her hand. “I don’t want to talk about this anymore. Let’s drink.”

She raised her gla.s.s for a toast with Xuxu.

Xuxu took a tiny sip, just to savor the taste. She licked her lips.

Zhou Shuang drank gla.s.s after gla.s.s. And in the midst of their conversation, she had finished an entire bottle.

She immediately got a new bottle and poured herself more. She was so drunk that she was seeing illusions. The wine spilled onto the table and on Xuxu too.

Xuxu hurriedly stopped her and said, “It’s enough. Nothing will change even if you get yourself drunk. Say whatever you feel like saying. Why do you have to hide your feelings?”

She knew that if she didn’t coerce Zhou Shuang in this way, the woman wouldn’t be honest about her true feelings.

“Xuxu, I love him. I don’t know why I fell for him.”

Indeed, Zhou Shuang put her gla.s.s down. She pulled Xuxu in for a tight embrace and sobbed.

Xuxu’s heart ached for her as she cried. She gently patted Zhou Shuang and said, “It would be fine if you just say it. It’s not embarra.s.sing to confess your feelings.”

It’s not embarra.s.sing to confess your feelings…

This statement sounded so familiar.

“No. It’s not fine.” Zhou Shuang shook her head like a stubborn child. She was crying badly now as she pressed on, “He said he wanted the children. His mother and he said they wanted the children with no hesitation.”

What’s that supposed to mean? Xuxu gently pushed Zhou Shuang away and surveyed her. “When did this happen?”

This probably happened when she was giving birth.

“I would have chosen the children too. But I was still affected when he said that. It hurts when Lu Yinan doesn’t care about me. He didn’t want me…” Zhou Shuang punched her chest with her fist.

She grabbed Xuxu and sobbed harder.

“I thought that if I die on the operating table, Lu Yinan would rejoice.”

Zhou Shuang had a row with Lu Yinan and it had her agitated. Hence, she had premature labor as a result. Yan Rusheng and Xuxu were away on a work trip overseas.

When she came back, she heard that Zhou Shuang was supposed to give birth in a natural way. But there were complications and she was bleeding heavily. In the end, she had a Cesarean operation.

She was in a critical condition, but fortunately, both mother and children were safe.

This was the first time she had heard what had happened exactly. Anger boiled inside of Xuxu.

How could Lu Yinan do this?

So, this was the knot in Zhou Shuang’s heart all these years.

Indeed. How can anyone not be affected by this statement? Even if Lu Yinan didn’t love Zhou Shuang, he can’t be so selfish.

He had chosen to give up on a person’s life. Not just anyone, but the woman who gave birth to his children.

She had a premature labor. So, Zhou Shuang’s mother couldn’t make it back in time too.

Xuxu couldn’t imagine how hurt and despondent Zhou Shuang must have felt at that time.

She had always felt like a stranger staying with the Lu family. And she needed someone on her side.

She really didn’t know how to console Zhou Shuang right now. So, she raised her gla.s.s and said, “I’ll drink with you.”

She gulped down the entire gla.s.s.

Zhou Shuang chuckled as she collapsed on the table.

Xuxu sulked at her. “Why are you laughing at me?”

Zhou Shuang pointed at her as she laughed. “Wen Xuxu, did you forget that you collapse after one gla.s.s?”
