Wan Jia calmed down and looked at them. "It must be a threat, right? Let me see it."

Lu Aotian hesitated.

"It's okay. I'm calm now." He relutantly gave it to her.

"This was prepared a few hours ago. What do these characters mean?"

The brothers were both hesitant to tell her. They did not want her to worry.

She glared at them. "You can refuse to tell me. I roughly know from your reactions."

Lu Shaoting hesitantly asked his brother. "Do you think this is the blood of that doctor? Was he murdered?"

Lu Aotian responded after a few seconds. "LE Hospital is my turf."

He did not need to complete his statement for Lu Shaoting to understand him. He meant to say that the genius doctor was probably not murdered. Perhaps he had been hidden away. No one would dare to act recklessly on the Lu family's turf. As for the origin of the blood...

Lu Shaoting was lost in thought for a while. The audacity of these people! It was no wonder he had not seen the genius doctor. The report file had been given to him by another doctor. Needless to say, that other doctor must have fled by now.

Then he thought of something with a start and looked at his brother who was coincidentally looking at him. "Bro, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

Lu Aotian glared at him. "Shut up!"

"Right, right."

Lu Aotian turned to Wan Jia. "You cannot do the paternity test for now. If you are too curious, there is another way."

Actually, he could retrieve the results using his own ways but he wanted to use this opportunity to make Wan Jia speak to Xia Rou. It would improve their relationship a little and as a result make his mother-in-law like him more.

"Are you going to tell me to talk to her?" She asked scornfully. The 'her' she was talking about was Xia Rou.

Lu Aotian remained silent.

Lu Shaoting could not stand it. "She is your mother. Can you not treat her like an outsider?"

"You know?" Wan Jia did not remember telling Lu Shaoting. How did he know?

"I knew it a few seconds after my brother did." Lu Shaoting said, totally missing the warning look his brother was trying to send him.

D*mn you Lu Shaoting! Lu Aotian cursed in his heart.

Wan Jia's eyes slowly shifted to Lu Aotian. "When I told you that Lin Lihua's mother is my mother, no one else was here. You didn't touch any communication device for at least one hour. When did the two of you know?"

He gave Lu Shaoting a look. The latter knew to excuse himself. "Sister-in-law, father is on his own. I'll leave first."

Wan Jia did shot him a look. "Who allowed you to leave?"

He had no choice but to stay. The monster's wife had just turned into a devil.

The cat was already out of the bag. Lu Aotian could only face it. "Not more than three weeks ago."

Wan Jia frowned. "Three weeks? Everyone knew the truth except me, the female lead?"

She glared at Lu Aotian. "Now I inderstand why you didn't look surprised.

That's why you have been looking so guilty every time I mentioned my family. It turns out you knew. Why didn't you tell me?"

"I wanted to respect my mother-in-law's wishes." he said.

She was very displeased with his way of adressing Xia Rou. She had not even accepted her and no one knew if she ever would. What was Lu Aotian doing, calling her his mother-in-law?

"I see whose side you all are on." she said and ran off.

"Sister-in-law...." Lu Shaoting trembled.

He earned an extremely cold look. "Why are you still here? If I didn't know, I would think you are..."

Woosh!

Lu Shaoting had already fled. He did not want his brother to complete his statement because the next words were "...waiting for a beating". By the time those words were out, his brother would have beaten him up.

Although Lu Aotian had never actually beaten him up, he had seen him fight before and was totally scared of him. Could it be that his brother was a fierce animal in his past life and reincarnated into a human being?

Never mind. That was fictional.

...

Lu Aotian found Wan Jia crying like a baby on her bed. He held her and gently stroked her hair. "I'm sorry."

He was apologizing for keeping the truth from her.

"Why are you siding with her?" she complained in his arms. She sounded just like a spoilt child. Lu Aotian could not help but think that her point of focus was rather different from what she should be crying over.

"I'm not siding with her. I only want you to be happy." he coaxed. "My love, the happiness of a family cannot be replaced. You should give her a chance."

"But I will soon be part of the Lu family."

"But you are also part of the Lin family."

Wan Jia was once again annoyed. "What makes you so sure that the Lin family will accept me? Only Lin Lihua's mother is related to me. Her father and her may not like me." He purposefully did not call Xia Rou her mother. Even 'Aunty Lin'was nowhere to be heard now.

Lu Aotian looked at his forgetful wife speechlessly. "Don't you know best how much Lin Lihua loves you? Your parents love you too. So, my love, give them a chance, okay?"
