Chapter 114: Give Me a Chance to Atone
Wen Yuan's first sentence was: "Lu Qing's mother and son have an accident." β
The last sentence is: "Lu Zhe is currently in the hands of Lu Huainian, you should be mentally prepared." β
My heart couldn't help but clench. Wen Yuan's psychological preparation for me was undoubtedly to let Lu Huainian know about the past through Lu Qing's mother and son. To be honest, I never thought of a day like this.
If so, all I thought about was to tell him in a milder way that he once had a lover named Liu Ran, and besides, I didn't want him to know about the car accident and the end of their relationship.
"Is there a way to stop it?"
Wen Yuan's tone was serious: "It's difficult, he's rushing to get back his old memories." Wen Ying, I have a different opinion from you, and I think it's better to let him know than hide it from him. You can't hide it from him for the rest of your life. β
"No, I don't want him to think about it again. I really intend to forget it if he can't remember it for the rest of his life, isn't this a kind of peace? β
Wen Yuan disagreed, "What about you?" You deserve to sacrifice so much for him, and you don't even have a name in his heart? β
"Liu Ran is already dead, why should he be trapped in the past? What's more, let him know what Lu Jianbang had done, and he would not be able to stand the blow. β
Wen Yuan was silent.
After a while, he suddenly asked about Jian Yue again, "What did she tell you the day she left?" Did she tell you anything? β
"Nope." My throat was dry. Jian Yue repeatedly emphasized that if she didn't let me tell Wen Yuan, then I would bury this secret.
"You've always been like this, how long can you last alone?" Wen Yuan sighed.
What I thought to myself was the day I couldn't make it anymore. I promised Jian Yue that I would help her find that person, and I couldn't break my promise, although there were no useful clues now.
"Brother, why did Lu Zhe fall into Lu Huainian's hands?"
Wen Yuan told me that he had sent the mother and son abroad before, and Lu Huainian couldn't find them for a while, but Lu Zhe couldn't hold back his gambling addiction and lost all the money he and his mother Lu Qing had brought over, and he couldn't stay without money, so Lu Zhe arranged his mother in a cheap hotel and secretly went back to Jiangcheng to sell his assets.
The real estate and faΓ§ade left to them by Lu Jianbang after his death, plus the previous shares, are enough for them to eat and drink spicy food in this life, but they are too greedy and want to unite with people outside to rob all the property of the Lu family, but they fell into Shen Yinan's trap, the shares are gone, and the few valuable properties on hand are gone.
Lu Zhe went back to sell three apartments and two front doors, and he didn't even plan to keep the remaining cars, and all found buyers. Lu Huainian had already laid a net of heaven and earth, and Lu Zhe's sale was transmitted to Lu Huainian in a few minutes, and then of course Lu Zhe couldn't leave.
Wen Yuan said: "Lu Qing's flight back to Jiangcheng just now. I sent someone to follow her, and when she returned to Jiangcheng, I will tell you as soon as there is news. But Wen Ying, if Lu Huainian knows, I hope you don't hide, you and him, even if you want to say goodbye, you must have an official end. β
"Hmm. It's not there yet. β
For the next two days, I had mixed feelings, but at this time, the woman came back.
She was waiting for me after I got off work, across from Pinyuan, and just reappeared without warning.
This should be our real "meeting", but I just glanced at her superficially and withdrew my gaze. She's no longer the person I imagined she to be.
She dialed my number, but stopped talking: "Ran ran ......"
"You also know where Liu Ran's tomb is, don't call it that in the future."
"Can you find a place to sit and talk? I know, you're being inconvenient right now. Her voice was very soft.
I understand what she means by being inconvenient, the matter of my divorce from Shen Yinan has been spread in the past two days, and they are waiting for when Shen Yinan will return to being single, and the celebrities in the city are already ready to move.
I finally agreed to talk to her at a nearby cafΓ©.
But I don't know if it's a coincidence or God's trick, the nearby cafΓ© is closed for renovation, and even a small drink shop on the opposite street is closed.
Only one McDonald's shines brightly, attracting passers-by.
"Mind going there?" I asked her in a low voice. To this day, I don't know what to call her. I can't call my mother, I call my aunt even more awkwardly, and I call Ms. Deng very hypocritically, as if I deliberately made it clear that I am not familiar with her.
The hatred for her has long since become lighter and weaker with the passage of time, until it is completely gone. Resentment and hatred all turned into the wind and drifted away after my dad left.
Again, how can any parent not love their child, I would rather believe that she has a last resort, or she just wants to live a better life, because at that time she had to support a family by herself, how could her weak shoulders support it. This is all human nature, and although I am entitled to blame her for not fulfilling her responsibilities as a good mother, from the perspective of me now, an adult woman, I can't accuse her of doing something wrong, because I don't even feel comfortable having children and raising children.
She silently walked into McDonald's with me and sat down in the corner of the second floor.
I couldn't say a word of greeting.
"You want to divorce Shen Yinan? Is it decided? "She asked me about my marital status.
I nodded and didn't want to say more.
"Shen Yinan may still want to save your marriage. But if you decide unilaterally, I can help you out. β
I glanced at her, and she put her hands on the table, clasping them gently, her posture casual, her face calm, as if she should have helped me solve something I couldn't solve.
But I couldn't find a reason to need her help.
"No, I can do it myself. A divorce that does not involve the division of property will not be a hassle. I whispered.
"Why don't you have a part of yours?" After she said this, she immediately said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, I just hope you can live well." β
I don't know how to tell her. She wants me to do well, so she's going to help fight for alimony, real estate shares, and so on? Maybe she does, but I don't necessarily need it.
"Do you hate me?"
She finally asked.
I shook my head, "Hate." I don't hate it anymore. You don't have to think about making it up to me, I have everything now, and I'm doing okay. You follow your original path, do whatever you want, don't have to come back, and stay specially. β
She exhaled heavily, "It's too late, isn't it?" Also, it's been more than ten years, when you need me, I'm not here, what's the use of giving you things now. β
"You didn't come back because of me."
She smiled wryly, "Half and half." You don't have to have psychological pressure, I just look at you, people can still have a thought, people are gone, even thoughts are empty, I think, this is probably retribution. I won't meddle in your business, but I'll protect you. β
Is it? Protect me?
In the past, Lu Huainian said to protect me, but he quit before me, I don't need the protection of others, I can protect myself, even if I am like a hedgehog, it doesn't matter.
"You've really, changed a lot." Her eyes darkened.
I didn't answer.
There was a long silence again.
After that, I got up and took my leave.
In the middle of the night, my phone rang, I didn't answer, and I blocked the number. Ling Xiangdong is a person who will always take revenge on me when he looks for an opportunity, but my whole heart now is in whether Lu Huainian will know from the mouths of Lu Qing's mother and son that in the past, there is no time to care about Ling Xiangdong.
Early the next morning, I received the news that Wen Yuan told me that Lu Huainian forced out another thing, that is, the main messenger of the car accident many years ago was indeed not Lu Jianbang, but Lu Qing's mother and son.
After knowing that Lu Jianbang opposed Lu Huainian and me, the mother and son secretly set up a stumbling block, so as to separate the relationship between Lu Jianbang and Lu Huainian, and finally swallowed the entire Lu family.
The night Lu Huainian took me away, they bought people and used their hands and feet on the brakes, wanting to create the illusion of an accident, but in fact they wanted to kill Lu Huainian and take over the Lu family from then on.
However, people are not as good as heaven, just because there is not only Lu Huainian in the car, but also one more me, before the car crashed into the mountain, I subconsciously turned the steering wheel to his side, both of us were saved, and we both picked up our lives, but he was not seriously injured, and I was extremely seriously injured.
It turned out that Lu Jianbang really didn't lie to me, and the car accident had nothing to do with him. But in the final analysis, if he hadn't pressured him again and again, how could Lu Qing's mother and son take advantage of this wind to do such a thing?
Lu Jianbang may not know the origin of the car accident, but his approach is to pretend to be deaf and dumb to protect Lu Qing's mother and son. And Liu Ran's life or death, no one in their Lu family will care.
A raging fire ignited in my heart, and I longed to burn Lu Qing's mother and son to ashes. How could human nature be so evil, even if I was begging for a living in the mix of dragons and snakes in those years, I would never have thought that someone would use this trick to kill people with a knife behind his back, and it was so thorough.
Lu Qing's mother and son are guilty, and Lu Jianbang is also guilty.
"Wen Ying?"
Wen Yuan's voice seemed to come from a long distance, and I came back to my senses slightly, "Brother, I'm fine." I'll get justice for myself. β
After hanging up the phone, I was about to make an appointment with Zhou Yixuan to make a deal, but Deng Yinghong's phone called my phone first.
"And then...... Wen Ying, the car accident was not an accident, it was man-made. It was Lu Qing who did it. Her voice was furious, "I blame that I knew about this too late." I'm definitely going to pay for her. β
How would she know? Does the Lu family have someone she has installed? Or is there someone she installed by Lu Huainian's side? What is her identity now?
But I still refused, "I can handle it." β
"Just give me a chance to atone for my sins, okay? I can't do anything for you......" she choked. I
I was stunned, she had hung up.
In the afternoon, the news came that Lu Qing and Lu Zhe were imprisoned, when Lu Qing resisted arrest, there was an accident, he hit his head and broke his blood, Lu Zhe obediently went to prison, but then a murder case was directly detained on their heads, and both were sentenced to death.
It didn't take long for the matter of Lu Qing and Lu Zhe to be written as a post, which became a joke in Jiang Cheng.
I still haven't recovered from this incident, Shen Yinan's phone called, "Don't you want to talk about divorce?" See you at the hospital. β
