Chapter 271: Tragic Childhood

"It's nothing, I just came to the toilet, and then I heard the sound of a fight here, and when I came over to take a look, I realized that it was her husband who was beating her."

Tan Jiaran barely supported herself and sat down against the wall.

When Lu Mingzhe heard this, his eyes looked at the woman lying on the ground with a little surprise, Tan Jiaran's eyes also fell on Lu Qingling, his eyes were full of pity, Lu Mingzhe suddenly frowned, why is this figure so familiar?

In the next second, Lu Mingzhe's body almost couldn't stop trembling, this figure was too familiar to him, after all, the mood of blood was thicker than water, just looking at the back of this head, he had already recognized it, the woman lying on the ground, if he didn't guess wrong, was his sister!

Lu Mingzhe stretched out his hand, trembled and held Lu Qingling's shoulder, and pulled Lu Qingling's shoulder in his direction, Lu Qingling's face was exposed, and then, his hand instantly froze in place.

Tan Jiaran noticed the change in Lu Mingzhe's expression, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled, Lu Mingzhe's reaction seemed to be great, Tan Jiaran frowned slightly, touched Lu Mingzhe with his hand, and signaled to Lu Mingzhe's inquiry.

Lu Mingzhe's face was as pale as earth at this time, his eyes were full of indifference, his hands were tightly clenched into fists, Tan Jiaran was startled when he saw it, how could Lu Mingzhe react so much, as if he was acquainted with the woman lying on the ground.

"Where's the man who hit her?"

Lu Mingzhe took a deep breath, then forced himself to calm down, and asked Tan Jiaran about Tan Jiaran, and at a glance at this state, he knew that Lu Mingzhe's state at this time seemed very wrong, it is estimated that the woman lying on the ground and Lu Mingzhe are acquainted, and the relationship is still very close, otherwise how could Lu Mingzhe be so angry?

Tan Jiaran didn't speak, but looked at Lu Mingzhe with inquiring eyes, and Lu Mingzhe heard that Tan Jiaran didn't speak, so he turned his head sideways and glanced at Tan Jiaran.

"You tell me first what this woman is for you, and what is the relationship between people and you?"

Tan Jiaran narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Lu Mingzhe with an inquiring look, Lu Mingzhe coughed lightly at this time, and looked like he wanted to stop talking, in fact, his relationship with this woman told Tan Jiaran that it was okay, after all, there was nothing at stake in it, but Lu Mingzhe felt very guilty in his heart at this time, and he was thinking about how to frame Tan Jiaran, but Tan Jiaran saved his sister at this time.

"He's my own sister."

Lu Mingzhe opened his mouth with difficulty, after saying this, no one spoke between the two, and fell into silence, Tan Jiaran is actually not difficult to guess the relationship between the two of them, after all, both of them are in the heart, and now if you look closely, there is a bit of similarity between the facial features and eyebrows of the two, it is not difficult to believe that it is a sister and brother, no wonder Lu Mingzhe is so angry.

"She is your sister, and Chen Xunhao is your brother-in-law?"

Tan Jiaran was sensitively aware of the connection at this time, and squinted his eyes slightly to look at Lu Mingzhe, who hesitated for a while but nodded, not understanding

Why did Tan Jiaran know what the name of her sister's husband was, and I didn't know what Tan Jiaran meant by asking.

Chen Xunhao is indeed his brother-in-law, of course, his sister is not willing, because of love to marry Chen Xunhao, but for some forced hardships.

"Hmm."

Lu Mingzhe nodded helplessly, Chen Xunhao will become his brother-in-law, and it is entirely because of their father, he and Lu Qingling's father are bad gamblers who are good gamblers, because of gambling, their mother can't stand it, and they chose to abandon this family and remarry when they were still very young, so their sisters and brothers followed their father, but they didn't have a good life.

After his mother left, his father's gambling problem became more and more serious, and he did not work every day, only thinking about gambling.

Lu Mingzhe looked a little lonely when he thought of this, the ambulance hadn't come yet, Lu Mingzhe simply sat next to Tan Jiaran, and talked about this past with Tan Jiaran, Lu Mingzhe really didn't expect this past, he never told anyone, didn't talk to any friends, even Su Xuanyan didn't know very well, but under such an opportunity, he would talk to Tan Jiaran about this humble past that had been suppressed in his heart for so many years.

"My dad was really fond of gambling, and sometimes he would be happy to buy me and my sister good food and even buy us new clothes when he won the bet, but most of the time she lost."

Lu Mingzhe's tone became a little low when he said this, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressed, Tan Jiaran was silent when she heard it at this time, she had not experienced such a tragic childhood.

When her father was still alive, she never gambled, only worked hard, and the business situation of Tan's Group has always been very good, she and her mother have lived a very comfortable life, and they never thought that when they had such a happy childhood, Lu Mingzhe and Lu Qingling endured such a miserable day.

A wave of sympathy rose in Tan Jiaran's heart, and he responded in a low voice, encouraging Lu Mingzhe to continue speaking, Lu Mingzhe sighed silently, lit a cigarette, and took a few puffs before speaking again.

"My father didn't even want to do work because he was too bad at gambling, he only thought about gambling every day, thinking about making a lot of money, and always told us that as long as he won a gamble and made a lot of money, my sister and I would live a good life, and we really believed my father's words when we were young."

Speaking of which, Lu Mingzhe took another puff of cigarette and slowly puffed out the smoke ring, the expression on his face looked extremely lonely, Tan Jiaran couldn't help but feel a sympathy in his heart, his father has always taken care of him, and his father is also a very rational person, he will never put his mind on gambling, begging gambling to make a fortune, it seems that Lu Mingzhe's growth is also full of sadness?

Tan Jiaran took out a tissue from his backpack and handed it to Lu Mingzhe, Lu Mingzhe was silent for a moment, took the tissue in Tan Jiaran's hand, wiped the two lines of tears on his cheeks, and talked about this period of the past, still

It made him feel unbearable in his heart.

"Until we were in middle school, my father simply quit his job, but he didn't have much money in his hands, but he was still very good at gambling, but he was calculated, and someone lied to him that he could have a trick up his sleeve and win a lot, so he put all his money into it, and the result was a big ass debt."

Speaking of this, Lu Mingzhe smiled contemptuously, he was still young at the time and didn't understand what it meant, but later when his father took the two of them to move around, he finally understood what it meant, being in debt means being displaced, homeless, and hiding all day long, during the time he was in middle school, he was hiding everywhere every day.

My sister was already in college at that time, but my father didn't have the money to pay for my sister's tuition, my sister's tuition was all her own work-study, and her life was very difficult to earn back from her extracurricular part-time job, and she was lucky, under the care of a rich relative, he had a chance to enter a high-end aristocratic middle school, that is, he met Su Xuanyan there, and liked Su Xuanyan for so many years.
