Chapter 534 - Her Stepfather Was A Good Man
Chapter 534: Her Stepfather Was A Good Man
Shui Anluo bit her lip and lowered her head. Her hand, which was nestled in Chu Ningyi’s grasp, increased in force.
“Luoluo, do you know who I am aside from the fact that I’m your stepbrother?” Luo Xuan suddenly asked. He had decided to tell her about their past during their time on the road.
“No, I don’t,” Shui Anluo replied irritably.
“I’m your cousin. My mother, Long Manyue, is your mother’s older twin sister.” Luo Xuan’s voice was calm as if he was only stating a fact.
Shui Anluo suddenly raised her head as countless melodramatic instrumental sequences flashed across her mind.
“T-then what about your mother?” Shui Anluo was shaken for a moment and this was the only thing she could say.
Both sisters had fallen for the same man?
That was nasty!
“My mother had passed on ten years ago.” Luo Xuan shrugged his shoulders. “She was a freelancer who had been described by the media as having the gentlest writing style. She had died from clinical depression. It’s funny, right?”
‘Clinical depression?’
As a medical student, Shui Anluo was no stranger to this. It was a fatal mental illness.
Shui Anluo lifted her head and looked at Chu Ningyi. She has a bad feeling.
Chu Ningyi squeezed her hand and signaled for Luo Xuan to continue speaking. He believes that this matter was related to the Long family.
Luo Xuan reached out for the glass of wine on the small table before taking a gentle sip.
“In the beginning, my father had fallen in love with Auntie. My mother had fallen in love with a freelance artist,” Luo Xuan said as he looked at Shui Anluo.
“And then?” Shui Anluo was curious. She was unsure why he was staring at her.
“That artist then died.”
Uh…
“That doesn’t really have anything to do with your father and my mother,” Shui Anluo said curiously.
“My mother had fallen into clinical depression at the time,” said Luo Xuan. He has finished all the wine in his hand. “You know that patients with that kind of illness would sometimes go to the extreme so…”
“I don’t know…” Shui Anluo was afraid that she might be biased so she wanted him to say it himself.
“My mother became involved between Auntie and my father. As for what happened, I don’t really know either. Later, Auntie left. They then got married and father went mad.” Luo Xuan explained as if he was telling someone else’s story.
“Mad, mad?” Shui Anluo was terrified. She thought about the explosively handsome man that she had met previously. How was he a mad man?
“Not psychologically mad but in essence.” Luo Xuan shrugged. From that moment on, the Luo family had turned their nose up at Italy because his father had expanded his business empire to a horrifying state all for the sake of finding the woman he loves someday.
“Is there a difference?” Shui Anluo suddenly felt that the two of them were the medical students instead. Why could she not understand him?
Chu Ningyi stroked her head and explained, “Luo Yun had gained sovereign rights to most of the businesses in this country. No one has ever been able to achieve that.”
Shui Anluo had secretly thought that her stepfather was certainly wealthy.
“Your mother had married your father. Wasn’t that what she wanted?” Shui Anluo asked again. She had already chased her mother away. Was that not enough?
“Who knows? If that was what she wanted, she probably won’t have committed suicide by jumping off a building because of her depression.” Luo Xuan shrugged. “My father had paid a visit to ‘A’ City ten years ago. At that time, your mother and father were still on good terms so he had returned. However, he recently found out that your parents had divorced long ago so…”
Shui Anluo thought that her stepfather was a good man.
