CHAPTER 558: CHAPTER 553: ANYONE WHO COMES WILL BE BEATEN (SECOND UPDATE)

"I scolded you, so what?" Fang Pingying glanced coldly at Zhou Yunmei, then glared at Luo Zhiyong standing nearby, frustratedly saying, "This whole mess between you two has nothing to do with me. I’ve come to take Hong Lan away."

After speaking, Fang Pingying went inside to call Luo Honglan.

"Hong Lan, wake up, wake up," Fang Pingying shook Luo Honglan for a while, and seeing that she couldn’t wake her, she helplessly splashed some cold water from the teapot on her face.

Finally, Luo Honglan was awoken.

But she was confused for a good while before remembering why she was in the guest house.

Meanwhile, outside, Luo Zhiyong began settling scores with Zhou Yunmei.

He hadn’t yet let Zhou Yunmei see what was happening inside, but outside he confronted Zhou Yunmei, "Clarify what you are really here for this time."

Hearing Luo Zhiyong ask this, Zhou Yunmei was worried that her secret was out, but without seeing for herself, she still wouldn’t admit it, stuttering, "I... I haven’t done anything, I just came because of Hong Lan’s engagement."

"Not talking, huh?" Luo Zhiyong raised an eyebrow at her, "Then let me tell you, you came here under the pretext of seeing Hong Lan’s engagement, but actually, you came to help Xu He scheme against me."

Zhou Yunmei still refused to confess, "I... why would I scheme against you?"

Luo Zhiyong sneered, continuing, "Because Luo Zhiming can’t have children, you worry that when he gets old, he won’t have anyone to rely on, and you are also worried that because he can’t have children, Xu He will want to divorce him. So you plotted this scheme, wanting me to father a child for Xu He, and when back to the village, claim this child is Luo Zhiming’s, with nobody any the wiser."

Luo Zhiyong made it clear for the sake of not having Fang Pingying misunderstand.

Inside, Fang Pingying and Luo Honglan, of course, heard everything clearly.

After understanding the situation, Fang Pingying was shocked for a while, then sighed again, wondering if Zhou Yunmei was truly insane, to even collude with Xu He on such a matter.

It seems that, in her heart, she really doesn’t care about her son, Luo Zhiyong at all.

At this moment, Fang Pingying indeed began to doubt, wondering if Luo Zhiyong was actually Zhou Yunmei’s biological son?

After Luo Honglan learned about this, she was so angered she wanted to rush out and confront Zhou Yunmei, but Fang Pingying held her back, clearly, Zhou Yunmei and Luo Zhiyong hadn’t finished their conversation.

After Luo Zhiyong made things clear, Zhou Yunmei panicked inside, not expecting Luo Zhiyong to see through it all, but still she would not admit it on her lips, "No, there’s no such thing."

"Why did you deliberately bring us to this guesthouse and then force us to eat here?" Luo Zhiyong coldly said, "You knew beforehand that Xu He ordered the meals, and there must be something wrong with them, so you purposefully stopped me and Luo Honglan from leaving and made us eat here."

At this point, Luo Honglan in the room couldn’t hold back anymore. She stood up and rushed out to Zhou Yunmei, glaring fiercely at her and scolding, "No wonder, I was wondering why I suddenly felt so extremely sleepy and slept so deeply. Zhou Yunmei, do you have no humanity? Have you no shame? How could you do such a thing? Do you really not consider my big brother and me as your children anymore?"

"I..." Zhou Yunmei at this moment was at a loss for words. The facts were right before her eyes, and she couldn’t deny them.

"He is your son, and we are your biological children too. How could you treat my big brother like this for Luo Zhiming?" Luo Honglan cried as she spoke, "Have you ever thought about what Luo Zhiming has done for you over these years, and how much my big brother has done for you? How can you be so ungrateful and heartless?"

These words made Zhou Yunmei’s heart tremble, and she had to admit that Luo Honglan was right.

But, she couldn’t just ignore Luo Zhiming.

And being pointed at like this by Luo Honglan, Zhou Yunmei felt she lost face, so she retorted loudly to save face, "You don’t need to tell me that, I’m the mother, I can favor whoever I want."

If it had been before, Luo Zhiyong might have felt hurt hearing Zhou Yunmei say this, but this time, he felt nothing.

Moreover, he looked at Zhou Yunmei with a smile, then slowly stretched out his finger and swore to the sky, "Today, in front of everyone, I declare that from now on, Zhou Yunmei and I have nothing to do with each other. Whether you live, get sick, or die, or need someone to care for you in old age, rely only on Luo Zhiming. Don’t involve me. If I meddle in your affairs again, may I, Luo Zhiyong, be struck by lightning and die a bad death."

Zhou Yunmei didn’t really care about what Luo Zhiyong said initially, but when it came to caregiving, she finally objected, "As a son, regardless of anything, I carried you for ten months, it’s your duty to take care of me in old age, you have no right to say such things."

"Fine, it’s my duty, and I won’t shirk it," Luo Zhiyong had already thought about how to handle this, "I will call the Village Branch Secretary later and ask him, according to our village rules, how much money each brother should pay each month for our parent’s care. After calculating, even if I have to steal or borrow, I will pay all my share at once to the Village Branch Secretary, and you won’t need to come to me again."

Zhou Yunmei carefully considered the implications of what Luo Zhiyong was saying. She knew that if it went as Luo Zhiyong said, and both brothers together took care of her in her old age, she would only get two or three yuan a month at most, which was far from what she had in mind, so naturally, she wouldn’t agree.

However, at this moment, she couldn’t directly talk about money, so she vaguely asked, "Zhiyong, are you really going to do this? Aren’t you afraid that people in the village will talk behind your back?"

Luo Zhiyong didn’t bother to analyze what Zhou Yunmei was really thinking, and simply responded lightly, "You never thought about people talking behind your back when you did such things. I am acting openly and responsibly, fulfilling my duties as a son. I’m not afraid of any accusations."

"You..." Zhou Yunmei’s eyes darted around, but then her gaze fixed on Fang Pingying standing by the door. In a threatening manner, pointing at Fang Pingying, she said, "If you really do this, I will go cause a scene at her house."

"You..."

Before Luo Zhiyong could speak, Fang Pingying interrupted him.

Fang Pingying, looking at Zhou Yunmei with a half-smile, said, "Granny Zhou, firstly, please don’t drag me into the issues between you and your son. I and Luo Zhiyong are divorced, and I have nothing to do with your Luo family anymore."

After saying this, Fang Pingying’s expression suddenly turned harsh, almost grinding her teeth, she said, "Also, if you really have the guts, come and make trouble. If one comes, I’ll fight one; if a pair comes, I’ll fight the pair, even if it means fighting to the death."
