Chapter 483: Changing Face
Madam Lu looked at her annoyedly: “Wen Bilan, you’re really too kind. Keeping them in this city is a ticking time bomb!”
“It’s fine, I trust Ruikang. He won’t contact them again.”
“How can you be so naive! His promise means nothing, you need to nip the problem in the bud to make sure he sticks to his word. Otherwise, he might start sending them money behind your back!”
Wen Bilan of course understood that Lan Ruikang’s promise could not be trusted.
She also understood that the problem had to be addressed at its root.
However, simply sending that mother and son away wouldn’t satisfy her.
She wanted the little harlot who seduced her husband to die, and then she could torture the son born of the harlot.
Moreover, after she pleaded on behalf of the mother and son today, once the little harlot died, Lan Ruikang wouldn’t suspect her. After all, she’s shown such great kindness and allowed them to stay in the city, why would she possibly harm his mistress?
So, she performed her role as an understanding and magnanimous wife effortlessly: “Madam Lu, I know you mean well. But that is Ruikang’s long-awaited son after all, let’s not go to extremes. Let’s give them a chance at life.”
“Whatever, if you want to be the good person, I won’t play the villain. Just promise me, no more threats of suicide that scare Yuyi!”

“No, definitely not. I lost control in the heat of the moment this time, it won’t happen again.”
Wen Bilan finished speaking and turned to Lan Ruikang: “Ruikang, Madam Lu won’t force them to leave anymore. You must remember your promise.”
“Yeah, I know. Thank you.”
Watching Wen Bilan act kindly and hearing Lan Ruikang’s words of gratitude, Madam Lu suddenly felt suffocated.
In hindsight, she realized that she was likely used as a pawn by Wen Bilan!
She used her to be the bad guy, to coerce Lan Ruikang, to make Lan Ruikang lower his head to her.
Then Wen Bilan stepped in to play the good cop, winning over Lan Ruikang’s heart.
Madam Lu felt quite displeased. They were both old foxes, and yet Wen Bilan still dared to use her. If it was not for Yuyi’s sake, she would have taught Wen Bilan a lesson today.
Feeling upset, she went cold: “Well, you three go ahead and chat. I need some fresh air.”
After she finished speaking, she left the ward.
But as soon as Madam Lu left, Lan Ruikang’s expression changed.
He said coldly: “Wen Bilan, did you intentionally use suicide to threaten me?”
Wen Bilan looked weak and pale: “Of course not, Ruikang. Don’t think so poorly of me, we’ve shared decades of emotion, don’t you trust me?”
She had done her makeup that day, making sure she looked innocent and pitiful.
In the past, it was by acting weak and pitiful that she had won over Lan Ruikang and successfully married into the Lan family.
She thought she could use the same trick to make Lan Ruikang change his mind.
But she forgot, she was no longer in her twenties, she was in her fifties.
She thought she looked pitiful, but in Lan Ruikang’s eyes, her sagging face was full of wrinkles, and her eyes were filled with cunning that disgusted him.
Her feigned weeping was nothing compared to his innocent students.
“Wen Bilan, we’ve known each other for decades, do you think I don’t see through your tricks?”
“What are you talking about? I don’t have any tricks.”
“You’re more ruthless than anyone I know. You even dared to play the suicide card, claiming to love our daughter, huh! Weren’t you afraid that the shock might cause a miscarriage!”
“Isn’t it you who pushed me to this? I was so heartbroken that I lost control and did something foolish. I’m afraid too, okay?”
“Hmm, any woman who loves her daughter would never resort to suicide when the daughter is pregnant!”
“How can you say that? If you love our daughter, why do you cheat and have an affair?”
