Chapter 98: Mysterious Red Face
What really made her aware of the anomaly was that on the day of the Qingming Festival, the cherry blossoms in Philadelphia were in full bloom.
She sat on a bench in the yard and looked at the beautiful cherry blossoms, and the big black dog, Blake, dozed at her feet.
A gust of wind blew, bringing a chill.
She decided to go back and get the cloak to put on.
She remembered that the cloak was placed on the couch in the hall, but unfortunately there was none.
Later, I remembered that I had put my shawl upstairs in my bedroom during my nap.
Lu Zheng was talking on the phone in the bedroom at that time, and she was a little surprised, Lu Zheng always called in the studio downstairs or in the hall.
And at this time, he was in the bedroom.
Of course, she didn't feel any different, just in the bedroom.
When she was pushing the door in, she heard Lu Zheng talking on the phone.
His voice was low, and it seemed to be very depressed, and his tone was sad for no reason.
He said, "Grandpa, I'm sorry, I didn't rush back to see him (her) at this time." It's been more than a year, and I miss him (or her) all the time, really. It's all my fault for not protecting her. ”
The reason why she felt that she was a woman in his words was because of what he said next.
He said: "Grandpa, sometimes, I hate God, why is it so unfair to her, is it really jealous of God?" ”
When he finished saying this, she had never seen his expression, as if it was sad to the bone.
"Really, I really miss her," he said. ”
It seemed that the call was very private, and he didn't want her to hear it, so he ran upstairs to make a call.
She silently withdrew the hand that wanted to open the door, and every step down the stairs was so heavy.
At that time, she didn't think about anything else, as a woman, she just felt that she was not the woman Lu Zheng loved the most.
Who is the red face he misses very much on the phone?
After that, it became a lingering heart disease in her heart, scratching her heart all the time.
Many times, she saw his mobile phone lying on the table, and her palms itched to take it to see if there was a shadow of that red face in it.
But reason stopped her itchy hand, and upbringing forced her to dispel that thought.
She felt that she should ask him, who was that girl?
There were several times when the words came to my lips, but I couldn't say them.
It's tangled and tangled.
Sometimes I see that he is still so nervous and considerate of her.
She felt that her worries were unnecessary, and that the red face might not exist at all.
Shortly after the Qingming Festival, a phone call came from China.
That day, it was she who answered the phone, and there was a man's voice on the other end of the phone, very polite, he said that his surname was Yi and he was here to find Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng is a psychiatrist, but his work and family are clearly separated, and the phone calls to his home have nothing to do with work.
He doesn't have many friends either, especially at home.
She vaguely felt that the man would more or less know who Lu Zheng's red face was.
So when Lu Zheng took her phone to the upstairs bedroom, she couldn't help but follow.
The bedroom door was hidden, and he was talking inside, and although it was a little difficult to listen, she still understood the general meaning.
Sure enough, there was such a red face, and she could hear that the man on the other end of the phone and Lu Zheng had both liked the girl named Luoya.
It's just that something may have happened to that girl, remember the jealousy in the phone call made by Lu Zheng on the Qingming Festival, the girl named Luo Ya should not be alive!
What saddened her was that she was just a substitute for that girl.
What a childhood sweetheart, two little guesses, it turned out to be a lie.
All the good things are just a pile of lies.
It's just that what she doesn't understand is that Lu Zheng said on the phone that he is obviously different from himself, he said that he is inconspicuous and a chubby foodie.
Was she really that ugly in his eyes?
She looked at herself in the mirror, she was a foodie, but chubby? But I'm obviously not fat, huh?
With a height of 165, he is only 99 pounds.
Lu Zheng also sighed and said to her, saying that he bothered to raise her, why didn't he raise her fat?
The Xiaoli girl he talked about on the phone was similar to Song Xiaofan, the fat assistant of Lu Zheng.
And Lu Zheng said that he was an assistant introduced by his aunt?
This is more similar to Xiao Fan, isn't Xiao Fan the assistant introduced by his aunt?
And she and Lu Zheng have already obtained a marriage certificate, and even held two weddings.
But Lu Zheng said on the phone that they hadn't gotten the certificate yet, and they were just boyfriend and girlfriend.
She couldn't figure it out, the red face that Lu Zheng said was real, but why did Lu Zheng lie to Officer Yi on the other end of the phone?
What's the secret?
Many questions could not be resolved in her heart, which made her quite anxious.
When she was having afternoon tea with her aunt, she intentionally or unintentionally mentioned what happened before she and Lu Zheng.
My aunt said very sure, my aunt said that she and Lu Zheng were indeed childhood sweethearts, and Lu Zheng was absolutely single-minded to her.
My aunt didn't look like she was lying.
Unable to get an answer from her aunt, she made another transatlantic call to her parents in City C.
's mother praised Lu Zheng on the phone as a good son-in-law, and insisted that Lu Zheng had only loved her as a woman in this world.
All this made her feel even more suspicious, obviously there was that woman, but why didn't the people around her know about it?
Or did Lu Zheng hide the existence of that girl from everyone?
After that, she became cautious and sensitive.
As long as Lu Zheng calls at home, she can't help but prick up her ears to listen, as if she won't stop until she finds the answer.
Until one day, she was sitting in the courtyard, and Lu Zheng was reading a book in the hall.
Lu Zheng's phone rang, he looked at her outside, picked up the phone and went upstairs.
She immediately got up and followed.
This time, Lu Zheng's voice on the phone was a bit loud, and he could hear that he was so angry. The call was about her because she heard him say her name.
"What do you say? I finally protected Xiao Li, I finally got her, I didn't want to take this risk, I won't let her go. It is even more unlikely that she will be allowed to go back. She will stay here with me all the time, and we will live happily ever after. ”
This passage also made her puzzled for a while, and she couldn't turn a corner in her head.
A few phone calls were pieced together, and there was no clue at all.
What role does she play in Lu Zheng's life? She didn't quite understand, but she felt she had to figure it out.
