Chapter 62 Fear and Love
In addition to his identity, Hai Donglai's life experience is actually very similar to Lu Shanmin, and even more tortuous. This cynical rich man, deep in the surface of madness, buries the sadness and hesitation that ordinary people can't understand. Before the age of twelve, he had everything perfect in the world, a successful father, a beautiful and gentle mother, and a sister who loved him.
At the age of twelve, a sudden car accident destroyed this fairytale life. His parents both died, he didn't shed a single tear, he just shivered and hid under the bed and didn't want to come out, he didn't believe that his parents left him like this. His father's sudden death left a huge foundation, he was twelve years old and had just graduated from elementary school, and his sister was seventeen years old and was preparing for the college entrance examination.
Outside competitors are eyeing the family business left by his father, and the company's top brass is busy fighting for power and profit. That night, his sister burst into his room, pulled him out from under the bed, and slapped him twice. He cried, wow wow crying, naughty since he was a child, every time he was beaten by his parents, his sister would turn into an old hen who protected the chicks to protect himself, he didn't expect that his sister would one day beat himself. He will never forget his sister's expression at that time, her eyes were cold and her lips trembled.
Since that day, my sister has changed, and she used to smile every day as warm and sweet as a spring calendula, and after that day, until now, I have never seen my sister smile at anyone, including herself. Since then, his sister, who used to play with him often, is gone, and has become a cold and stern person, even if Hai Donglai makes a little mistake, he will beat and scold each other. He no longer clinged to his sister like before, began to avoid her intentionally or unintentionally, and began to fear her and hate her in his heart.
At that time, Hai Donglai continued to go to junior high school, while his sister gave up the college entrance examination and began to take care of the family business left by his father. My sister is getting busier and busier, and sometimes she doesn't go home for a few days, but as long as she is at home, she will force him to practice martial arts with Sheng Tian and force him to study. At that time, he really missed his parents, and his parents used to force him to study, but he couldn't help it. But his sister is different, as long as his sister has a look, he has to do it obediently, otherwise, the wooden stick with thick arms will beckon him without mercy. My sister has changed, and she is no longer the sister who was so distressed and panicked that she was bitten by a mosquito on her hand.
Everyone has a rebellious mentality, not to mention that Hai Donglai was only twelve or thirteen years old at that time. He began to disobey and cheat, anyway, his sister was very busy with his father's company, and she didn't have much time to take care of him. even began to record his sister's viciousness in the diary, and on the day of his parents' memorial day, he burned a handful of snot and tears to his parents, so that his parents knew how his sister cruelly abused herself.
Until that day, that night, the night was already very deep, Hai Donglai was writing hard in the diary about his sister's crimes, the sound of the villa iron door opening came, he knew that this was his sister back, quickly turned off the bedroom light, and secretly stood at the window.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, seeing that his sister's clothes were stained with blood, Hai Donglai was a little worried, but he was relieved to see that his sister was walking steadily, not looking like she was injured, and the blood should be someone else's. Hai Donglai was a little curious, sneaked out of the bedroom, walked to his sister's door, there was a low sobbing sound in the house, the door was not locked, through the gap, Hai Donglai saw his sister crying, she lowered her head, her long hair covered her face, she couldn't see her expression clearly, but from her trembling body, it could be seen that she was in great pain and fear at the moment, squinting at her, next to her, there was a bloody dagger.
Hai Donglai ran back to the bedroom trembling, his whole body curled up in the quilt. He couldn't believe that his sister had killed someone.
Born in a wealthy family, Hai Donglai's knowledge far exceeds that of ordinary people's children, after his father's death, the huge foundation left behind will naturally attract the covetousness of wealth wolves, tigers and leopards from all sides, this point, even if Hai Donglai is still young, he also knows, but he is a child, he will not think much about this.
But that night, he suddenly realized that he could still live in this villa, his father's inheritance could still be in the hands of the two siblings, and what kind of bloody wind his sister had gone through to save it. That night, he suddenly understood why his sister had changed, he hid in the quilt and cried all night, he no longer hated his sister, he suddenly felt that his sister was so pitiful, and the reason why he cried was because he was distressed, and he felt sorry for his sister, who was only eighteen years old.
Since then, he has done whatever his sister says, no longer out of fear, but out of love.
Although Hai Donglai's grades have always been poor, this is not because he is stupid, but because he is unwilling to do it at all, his sister can force him to pick up the book with a stick, but she can't control whether his head has drifted out of the clouds. Since that night, Hai Donglai seems to have changed as a person, gradually changing from a scumbag to a scholar, and finally admitted to Tunghai University.
So it's not surprising that a rich man like Haidonglai has never been in love, he worked hard in high school, coupled with his sister's strict supervision, he didn't have the heart at that time, let alone the courage.
After going to college, as a rich family, all the women who flocked to him were women who loved him more money than others, as a love idiot, how could he tell the difference between money and feelings, and even once very stupid and naïve to think that love was bought with money, until he met Ruan Yu, the heartstrings buried in the depths trembled. But he didn't know it himself, and it wasn't until Lu Shanmin pointed it out that he was shocked in disbelief. After the shock, he immediately fell into a tangle, because he knew that it was okay to play outside, but if he was serious, his sister would never allow himself to be with a girl who was a commoner child and still worked in a bar. Born in a wealthy family, how can you not understand the simplest rules of the family.
Listening to Hai Donglai's chatter for a night, Lu Shanmin still had the same two words as before, 'sympathy'. Although he has no parents since he was a child, he is much freer than Haidonglai, at least his grandfather will not discipline himself as arrogantly as his sister. Since childhood, he has two good friends, Da Heitou and Xiao Nizi, who have accompanied him, and of course, there was Bai Ling at that time.
Originally, Lu Shanmin also wanted to encourage Haidong to come and say a few words, so that he could follow his heart and boldly pursue what he loved. But thinking of Bai Ling, didn't she abandon herself precisely because she went to college and was no longer in line with herself? Is it really useful for her to be desperate to keep her?
Hai Donglai continued to drink and be sad, finished telling his story in one go, and looked at Lu Shanmin with some hope.
"Aren't you going to say something"?
"Say what"?
Hai Donglai said dissatisfiedly: "For example, persuade me to boldly pursue true love, and in the end my true feelings will move my sister, and then she will send me blessings." Isn't that the case in TV and fiction?"
Lu Shanmin looked at Hai Donglai with sympathy and shook his head: "I haven't read the novel, the signal in the mountains is not good, and I don't watch much TV."
