Chapter 243: Compassion

When Du Xiaoyu heard Liu Feiyan say that after Lu Tao became the acting director of the Inspection Bureau, he immediately organized people to carry out tax inspections of the two companies of the Liu family, and he couldn't help but feel even more desperate: Lu Tao hated the Liu family so much and showed no mercy, how could he get along with him in the future? How could he still like himself?

However, although he had foreseen the irreparable tragic outcome between himself and Lu Tao, Du Xiaoyu still did not give up, so he knocked on the door of Lu Tao's house tonight with the last glimmer of hope......

When Lu Tao opened the door, Du Xiaoyu did not rush in, but stared at him with mournful eyes for a while, and suddenly threw himself into his arms, and pleaded in a heartbreaking tone: "Brother Lu, please don't treat me like this, okay? I like you, love you, and think about you every day, but you don't answer my phone, don't reply to my messages, don't meet with me, you don't know how sad and uncomfortable I am!"

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but lay her head on Lu Tao's shoulder and sobbed in a low voice.

Lu Tao observed Du Xiaoyu when he opened the door, and found that her eyes were red, her face was pale, and her face was haggard, knowing that she must have endured a lot of suffering during this time, and her heart was already unbearable, and when she heard her sad confession, she also felt sour in her heart, so she stroked her cheek with her hand and said softly: "Xiaoyu, can you come in first?" Let's sit down and have a good talk. ”

When Du Xiaoyu heard the words "talk about it", she thought that Lu Tao was going to talk to her about breaking up, so she suddenly raised her head, a trace of horror flashed in her eyes, and she said in a trembling tone: "Brother, don't talk to me about breaking up, okay? Leave me a glimmer of hope, don't let me fall into the abyss of despair, okay?"

Lu Tao felt her body trembling in his arms, obviously very afraid that he would mention the breakup with her, and he couldn't help but hesitate even more.

In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Lu Tao still likes Du Xiaoyu more: among all the girls he has dated, Du Xiaoyu is not only the most beautiful and temperamental, but also gentle and considerate, and talented, his mother and sister and brother-in-law like her very much, and feel that she is the best candidate to be a daughter-in-law. What's more, she is still so attached to herself and so infatuated, if it weren't for her family, she would definitely choose her as her girlfriend without hesitation......

Seeing a hesitant look on Lu Tao's face, Du Xiaoyu faintly guessed his thoughts in his heart, and suddenly asked: "Brother, please tell me the truth: If I am not from the Liu family, will you like me?"

Lu Tao nodded and said, "Yes!"

Seeing that he answered very simply, Du Xiaoyu suddenly showed a look of joy in his eyes, and continued to ask: "Before you knew that my father was Liu Hong, did you really like me?"

Lu Tao was silent for a moment, then nodded again.

Du Xiaoyu's face was even more joyful, and he leaned his head more tightly on Lu Tao's chest, and whispered: "Brother, I am satisfied with your two answers! I know that you are an upright and righteous person, and I know that you hate my dirty and dark family. Actually, like you, I don't have any affection for my family. You know very well that if it weren't for the fact that I wanted to follow you back to the peach forest, and didn't want to ease the conflict between you and my family, I might never have stepped into the door of the Liu family again, and I would never have called Liu Hong 'Dad' again.

"However, no matter how disgusted I am with the Liu family, and no matter how disgusted I am with my family's behavior, in the final analysis, I am still a member of the Liu family, the third daughter of Liu Hong, and the sister of Liu Feiyan and Liu Shuangyan, and this identity can never be changed. I also know very well in my heart that the biggest obstacle to the relationship between you and me is actually my family, because of the bad things that my family has done that make you very disgusted, so you don't want to associate with me anymore - am I right?"

Seeing that Lu Tao was silent, Du Xiaoyu knew that he had guessed correctly, gritted his teeth, and said in a resolute tone: "Brother, I have already thought about it: as long as you don't dislike me and are willing to associate with me, I can cut off relations and severance with the Liu family again." As long as you say a word, I will move out of my eldest sister's house immediately, live with you, and never set foot in the door of the Liu family again. ”

When Lu Tao heard her say that she was going to move out of her eldest sister's house, she couldn't help but move in her heart and asked, "Are you living with your eldest sister now?"

Du Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Yes, I now live with my eldest sister in the 'Jinsha Mingyuan' community. Originally, I lived in the villa of the Liu family, but I still had estrangement and resentment towards Liu Hong in my heart, and every time I saw him, I remembered the scene when my mother jumped off the bridge and died, and my heart was extremely sad. My eldest sister cared about me and saw that I still had a grudge against Liu Hong, so she offered to let me live in her house. ”

Lu Tao never knew why Du Xiaoyu hated Liu Hong and why he didn't go home for so many years, and at this moment, when he heard her mention her mother's tragic death by jumping off the bridge, he vaguely guessed a clue, but he didn't know the specific situation, so he asked: "Xiaoyu, you mentioned to me before, you hate Liu Hong and the people of the Liu family as much as I do, and you don't want to see the Liu family at all, what is the reason?"

Du Xiaoyu was silent for a moment, and said in a sad tone: "Brother, this is the pain of my life, I didn't want to mention it to anyone again, but since you ask now, I'll tell you!"

Next, she told Lu Tao in detail about the story of Liu Hong's raising of a junior who was preparing to give birth to a son, the two sisters being mistresses, and the mother jumping off the bridge to commit suicide in shame. When it came to her mother's advice to her before jumping off the bridge, she recited her mother's last words to Lu Tao almost word for word, crying while reciting, and in the end she couldn't cry......

It was only at this time that Lu Tao knew the real reason why Du Xiaoyu resented Liu Hong and stayed away from the Liu family, remembering that she had suffered such a big psychological trauma at the age of eleven or twelve, and the sympathy and pity for her in his heart spontaneously arose, and he stretched out his hand to wrap his arm around his slender waist, and said in a sincere tone: " Xiaoyu, I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to experience such a tragic thing in your childhood, nor did I expect that you hadn't stepped into the door of the Liu family for so many years, and I thought you were trying to deliberately hide your relationship with the Liu family, so I have a little misunderstanding and opinion about you, I hope you don't mind!"

When Du Xiaoyu heard these words, his heart suddenly felt like a spring breeze, and all the gloom was swept away, and he suddenly hugged Lu Tao's neck, kissed him feverishly, and said excitedly: "Brother, I won't mind, never! As long as you no longer dislike me and no longer alienate me, you can do whatever you want me to do! If you want, I will live here tonight, and I will never go back to Liu's house in the future!"
