Fu Chengshen's last contact with Luo Xi was half a month after Luo Xi followed Lu Weinan to the imperial capital.

He received a transfer from Loshi, a remittance of four million, which was transferred to his account in one lump sum.

When he received the news of the bank's notification, he was also a little confused, but soon, he settled the accounts in his heart.

The 1.6 million yuan that was used to send Luo Rongtai away, the 500,000 yuan that paid the wages of the garment factory workers, and the old and dilapidated house.

He gave her half of the property, and she returned it, and transferred the money of his half of the property. In this way, the house is hers alone.

I always knew that she had a talent for design, but I didn't expect her to be so good at math, and her accounts were clear and not bad.

Sneering at the phone for a while, Fu Chengshen went to call Luo Xi.

Again, it didn't get through.

He sent her a message, saying, "Let's take some time, let's go through the transfer procedures." Since you paid the full price for the house, there is no need to sign my name on the title deed. ”

The message has been sent for a long time and has been unread.

It wasn't until late that day that Loshi sent a message: "Not available. ”

He replied to her with a smile: "I can't take advantage of you. ”

Her next reply didn't come until noon the next day: "It doesn't matter. ”

He read her news several times and tasted it.

That house didn't mean anything to her anymore. She doesn't care who owns the house.

She just didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.

It seems that she is doing well with Lu Weinan, and she is no longer the poor girl who sold herself for 500,000 yuan.

Four million, turned to him without blinking, compared to what he did to her, he was really much more generous.

……

In the blink of an eye, it has been a month since Luo Xi came to the imperial capital.

At first, she was actually very unaccustomed to it. The winter in the imperial capital was much colder than that in Jiangcheng, and the air was not as humid as in Jiangcheng, so she fell ill not long after she came to the emperor.

In addition, she is not used to the diet here, and her appetite is poor during her illness, and when she recovers, she has lost five or six pounds.

She was sick, and Lu Weinan was naturally worried.

But it's just a worry.

Lu Weinan told her that this was the only way to correct the mistakes of the past two decades, and that she had to adapt as soon as possible so that she could better accept her new life.

In the imperial capital, Luo Xi didn't know anyone except Lu Weinan. Her daily life is full of loneliness and strangeness, and every day is like groping in a new world.

And Lu Weinan is a busy person, and being able to take two days out of a week to come over to see her is already the result of squeezing out several trips.

In addition, the mother and daughter have just recognized each other, after all, there is an estrangement of more than 20 years, and a gap is in the middle, which cannot be crossed in a while.

One day, Luo Xi suddenly remembered that her college roommate had come to the imperial capital after graduation. She tried to call the other party, but when she heard a familiar and detached voice on the other end of the phone, she politely said hello to the other person and hung up.

She tried to meet new friends, attend various banquets, and get to know the ladies of the imperial capital that Lu Weinan introduced her. But soon, she found it difficult to fit in.

Those celebrities already had their own small circle, and when she first arrived, everyone just got in the way of the Lu Group's face and smiled politely at her.

But no circle was willing to accept her.

She is like a time-traveler who has strayed into another world, and she is always out of step with the people around her.

Loneliness, loss, and the grief and anger of being kept in the dark by those closest to me for the past twenty years......

She even regretted her decision to come to the imperial capital. However, when I thought that Jiangcheng was Fu Chengshen's sphere of influence, I thought of the things he had done to her, and I thought that once I went back to Jiangcheng, I would not be able to get rid of his entanglement......

She gritted her teeth and insisted.

She learned to go shopping alone in an unfamiliar city, go to the movies alone, and eat the famous shabu-shabu of the imperial capital alone.

Slowly, I felt that there was nothing wrong with this.

She looked at herself in the mirror, surrounded by famous brand haute couture, except for the pale face and thin body because of the initial recovery from a serious illness, it was not that she couldn't take it and saw an unsightly image.

She blinked and smiled at herself in the mirror.

"Roshi, come on. The past is gone, remember them, and then, bravely embrace the new future. ”

In the mirror, her eyes flashed again.

The smile was so sweet that Lu Weinan was stunned when she entered the door.

"Why are you in such a good mood today? Did anything good happen? ”

Luo Xi turned his head and looked at Lu Weinan, with a bigger smile on his face: "I figured out something, so my mood has become better." ”

Lu Weinan walked over and patted her on the shoulder with a smile: "It's good to figure it out." There are some things that you can only walk out on your own. No one else can help you. ”

Loshi listened to her words, savoring the truth. She felt that what Lu Weinan said was not wrong, and many things needed to be faced and solved by herself.

The damage she had suffered in Jiangcheng did not mean that she could not start over in the imperial capital.

People are like this, when they were drilling the horns before, the more they thought about it, the easier it was to deny themselves.

But once you figure it out, you will find that what is in front of you is not a dead end to the black, but a lot of broad roads leading to Rome.

She nodded vigorously, and then summoned up the courage to ask a question that she had been curious about for a long time.

"What about Mom? When you left the Lu family, where did you go? I heard that when you returned to Lu's house later, you were in a terrible state and kept locking yourself in the house. Have you figured it out and walked out on your own?

Lu Weinan was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at her for a while.

Her gaze was a little weird, it was clearly looking at Loshi, and it seemed that it was not Lohi.

Luo Xi was furious by her, and couldn't help but explain: "If you don't want to say anything, don't say anything." I didn't inquire about your past gossip heart. ”

Lu Weinan smiled, a trace of complicated emotion flashed in her eyes. She took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"Xiaoxi, you've already seen your mother. Have you never wondered who your father is? ”

Loshi was taken aback by her words.

Luo Rongtai disappointed her so much that she had been a little resistant to the word dad since she was a child. Even if she knows now that Luo Rongtai is not her father, she is still habitual and has no interest in the man who gave her the other half of her life.

Now, Lu Weinan took the initiative to bring up this topic, and she was very surprised.

"Nope." She wrinkled her eyebrows, her face a little embarrassed, "You know, I always thought that Luo Rongtai was my father, so I never had any illusions about the role of my father, and I was not curious about who my father was." ”

She paused for a moment and added, "Besides, that person must have broken your heart back then. Such a person, don't mention it. ”

Lu Weinan was a little surprised by her answer, stunned, and sighed deeply.

"Today, I have seen it, but I don't need to say that. In fact, now that I think about it, your dad is actually a good person. ”

"Good guys?" Loshi was puzzled.

"That's right, good guy."

Lu Weinan looked at her, a bitter light flashed in her eyes.

"He was my college classmate, my first love, and the only man I ever had a relationship with in my life. At the beginning, the Lu family didn't agree with me being with him. I was too young at that time, thinking that love was all my life, and in order to be with a man, I could not be the eldest lady of the Lu family. In order to be with him, I can rent a basement of only nine square meters, wash the smelly toilet every day, and worry about making a living every day. ”

Somehow, as Luo Xi listened to Lu Weinan smile as she recalled her unbearable past, she would subconsciously think of the shabby design manual she had given her.

Those design drafts that have never been published, each one, is the hard work of the young Lu Weinan.

She bit her lower lip and had the audacity to interject: "For the sake of Dad, can you even give up the clothing design you like?" ”

Lu Weinan's eyes instantly became deep. She was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Yes, I gave up. ”

She smiled self-deprecatingly, "The Lu family originally started in the clothing business, and I have been exposed to it since I was a child, and I have a great interest in clothing design. When I was still in college, I was already publishing my designs. ”

She suddenly thought that Li Ting also knew Luo Xi, so she interjected: "Mrs. Chen from Jiangcheng said that she likes the clothes you designed very much." Looking at her current appearance, you can't imagine that she was the most prestigious model in China back then, right? The show where she became famous, she wore the costume I designed. ”

When Loshi heard this, his heart ached. She looked at Lu Weinan, her eyes filled with tears: "Then why did you give up?" The drawings you gave me have never been published? Why? ”

She herself didn't dare to imagine the pain of giving up her career, nor did she dare to imagine how painful Lu Weinan was back then.

"Because I'm stupid."

Lu Weinan laughed calmly, the corners of her mouth full of mockery, "No matter what, this is also my own choice." Since I made that stupid choice back then, I will have to bear all the costs of this choice. ”

Luo Xi looked at her steadily: "My dad is not worth it, is it?" ”

Lu Weinan smiled: "When I was with him, I never thought about what was worth it and what wasn't. But later, in my belly, I had you. Your appearance made me realize that everything I paid for him was not worth it. ”

"Because of me?" Loshi was puzzled.

"That's right, because of you. I can be poor myself, but I can't let you be born in a nine-square-meter basement and never see the sun all day. I can go to the vegetable market to pick up rotten vegetable leaves that others don't want to eat because I don't have money, but I can't let you lose your dignity as a human being because of poverty. Xiaoxi, you are my child, you could have enjoyed everything in the Lu family, and I am reluctant to let you suffer. And your dad, he can't give you that. ”

Luo Xi was silent for a while, and then spoke: "Then he ......"

Lu Weinan sneered: "Don't worry about him." He's doing well now, and soon after I left, he started a new relationship, so fast that I felt like I was a joke. ”

Lu Weinan paused, and then said: "After I left your father, I immediately went to a place where no one knew me, gave birth to you, and started to live again. At that time, I thought, when I become a famous designer, I will take you back to Lu's house in a beautiful way. I have the ability to support you and me, why should I wronged myself and waste my talent for the sake of a man. ”
