Chapter 29: An Unexpected Request
"Sister Yuan, I'll go first, and I'll come over to help when I'm free." After getting off work, Lu Ze waved to the proprietress with his hand.
"Aze, wait a minute." The proprietress came out of the back kitchen, stopped Lu Ze, and after wiping the water from her apron, she took out a big red envelope from her pocket.
"Here, here you go." The proprietress grabbed Lu Ze's hand and put the red envelope on his hand.
"Thank you, Sister Yuan, then I'll go first." Lu Ze didn't refuse, after all, every year the proprietress would give him a red envelope, at first he refused, but then he couldn't refuse and accepted it.
"Let's go, remember to study hard and strive to get into a good university."
"Well, it will."
Today is the 6th, and in the next few days, Lu Ze plans to use the method taught by Yunyi to learn English in the morning, and then finish his summer vacation homework and prepare for school. It's the third year of high school, and the school starts a month earlier than the second year of high school.
"Toot toot!"
Lu Ze was walking on the road, and the horn of a car suddenly sounded next to him.
Lu Ze turned his head: Hey, why is he?
The person in the car was the man who had just been said unwelcome by the proprietress and then driven away, Lu Ze was very curious, why did he appear here again?
"Can I take a moment of your time?" The man spoke.
Lu Ze stopped and looked at him curiously.
"Get in the car and say, it's hot outside." The man motioned to Lu Ze.
Lu Ze thought for a while, walked to the other side of the car, opened the door and sat in the co-pilot's seat.
"My name is Xu Deshu." Before Lu Ze could speak, the man spoke first.
"I know you must be curious why Mengyuan drove me away just now." Xu Deshu seemed to know what Lu Ze was thinking.
Yes, Lu Ze was very curious, especially, he found that Yingying was actually a bit like this man, plus he was also surnamed Xu...
"Can you take the liberty of asking, what is the relationship between you and Sister Yuan?" Lu Ze spoke.
"I'm his brother." The man spoke, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was shocking news.
"Brother?" Lu Ze was also shocked, after all, Lu Ze hadn't seen Sister Yuan's family appear by her side for so many years, but he didn't explore.
"Yes, I'm his brother." Xu Deshu took out a cigarette, and then handed the cigarette case to Lu Ze.
"I don't smoke, thank you." Lu Ze didn't answer.
Xu Deshu didn't speak, but lit a cigarette and spit out the outside of the car.
"Do you know why Mengyuan drove me away?" Xu Deshu spoke.
Lu Ze shook his head, although he was also curious, he hadn't explored other people's privacy hobbies yet, so he planned to open the car door and leave.
"Listen to it, you can see that Yingying likes you very much." As if he had guessed Lu Ze's thoughts, Xu Deshu looked at Lu Ze again.
Lu Ze stopped: "No need, I don't have a hobby of listening to other people's privacy." ”
"Can you do me a favor?" Lu Ze opened the car door and was about to get out of the car, when a strong hand grabbed him.
Lu Ze looked back at him: "What's the hurry?" ”
"Today is Mengyuan's birthday, can you help me give this to her." Xu Deshu took out a small box.
"Birthday?" To be honest, Lu Ze never knew the birthday of the proprietress, but he knew Yingying.
"Yes, if I gave it, she would definitely refuse." Xu Deshu smoked a cigarette to himself.
Lu Ze pondered for a moment: "Can you give me a reason to help you?" ”
"Is this enough?" Xu Deshu took out a medical record book from the hospital.
"Su Shi?" Lu Ze read out the name written in the notebook, and then looked at Xu Deshu suspiciously.
"This is the name of the lover of the dream." Xu Deshu said casually.
"Look at it, this was six years ago." Xu Deshu was still smoking, looking at the front of the road, not looking at Lu Ze.
Lu Ze opened the medical record book suspiciously, and then his eyes shrank, he didn't speak, but looked at Xu Deshu again, and at the same time he was guessing the purpose of Xu Deshu showing him this medical record book.
Xu Deshu seemed to see Lu Ze's doubts: "6 years ago, Yingying was just over a year old at that time, but at that time, Yingying's father was him. ”
Xu Deshu pointed to "Su Shi" on the notebook.
"He was diagnosed with cancer in the hospital. Yes, it is still malignant, it is close to the advanced stage, and the hospital at that time could not solve this problem at all, not only could it not be cured, but it also cost a lot of money. ”
"Yingying's father also thought of this problem, at that time, we were just a family of food and clothing, and we couldn't afford such a huge amount of expenses, so Yingying's father found me and asked me to help him act in a play."
Xu Deshu took another puff of cigarette.
"In order to leave quietly, Yingying's father asked me to pretend to be drunk and then play drunken madness to 'kill' him, and afterwards, he would secretly leave alone."
"I promised, I know, it's a man's dignity."
"The night before acting, I talked to him a lot, and the most he said was 'I'm sorry', I'm sorry, I'm sorry for Yingying and Mengyuan."
"That's it, we first went to the police station and the hospital to communicate, and then I acted with him, and finally I 'killed' him, and then, the police came to take me away, and the hospital also gave a death report."
"At that time, the hospital was still humane, unlike now."
"I know that after this incident, our brother and sister will definitely drift apart, but I don't regret it, because that is the last dignity of a man."
Later, Mengyuan took Yingying and left secretly. Actually, it was an opportunity I created for her, but I was afraid that she would still be emotionally unstable, so I secretly followed her, and finally, she came here to open a restaurant before slowly walking out. ”
"Actually, I don't want to come here if I could, because I'm a wicked person. However, now someone asked me to surprise them, so I came over. ”
Hearing this, Lu Ze probably knew what was going on.
"I've observed, if it's you, the security guards of the garden community won't stop you, so I can only ask you."
"Surprise, what surprise?" Lu Ze took the medical record book in his hand and looked at Xu Deshu suspiciously.
"I don't say it's a surprise. Can you please do me a favor? Xu Deshu took another puff of cigarette, then extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand and threw it away.
Lu Ze thought for a while, and felt that what Xu Deshu said should be true, so he opened his mouth and said to Xu Deshu: "It's okay to help, but you have to tell me how to help, what should I do?" ”
"That's right, Mengyuan lives in the garden community, and I can't get in, so please help me give this box to her, remember, you must let her open it, don't throw it away."
"What's in there?" Lu Ze didn't want to bring any dangerous goods in.
"Just open it and see."
Lu Ze opened the box in confusion, and inside was a bracelet and a note.
"This is the bracelet of Mengyuan's year."
