Chapter 972: Chapter 359: [Heartbreaking Fairy Tale] Doraemon’s Time Machine (Part 2)
Lu Huai’an’s indifferent black eyes finally showed a second emotion, creating a slight ripple, but it vanished in an instant. As soon as he raised his eyes, there was no trace of anything unusual.
Looking expressionlessly at Shen Weiyi, he asked coldly, "Who told you?"
Only members of the Lu Family know about this matter, and it is limited to a few closest people.
"Didn’t Lin Chu tell you?" Shen Weiyi seemed a bit surprised, but then quickly understood, "Well, she’s such a proud daughter of a wealthy family, misunderstood by someone who should have trusted her the most. It must be very distressing, making any explanation seem ridiculous and pale."
Anyone who knows Lin Chu has some degree of understanding.
Trust that requires explanation is never pure and clean.
Lu Huai’an stopped the motion of turning his phone, his sharply contoured facial features as indifferent as water, the calm voice carrying a sense of coldness, "If you’re going to say it, then be clear."
Since Shen Weiyi spoke, it was meant for him to hear.
No one knows how she has endured these past ten days.
Whether her eyes are open or she succumbs to sleep, her mind flashes fractured, fleeting scenes like a carousel.
The scene after drinking the aphrodisiac slowly becomes clear, making her wish for death.
Her cautiously preserved first experience was forcibly taken by a man so disgusting that she didn’t even want to look at him. She even begged for pleasure beneath him, flirtatiously, for the effect of the drug was intolerable even for her.
Gu Shaozhi said it was just giving back what she had inflicted on the innocent Xia Qian.
So this is what it feels like to be alive while wishing for death.
No wonder Xia Qian committed suicide.
"Lin Chu knows because Mrs. Lu thought she was throwing a tantrum with you because of me. During that time, you rarely returned to the Lu Family, and Mrs. Lu worried every day, so she told Lin Chu a secret. About why, since childhood, she always wanted you to treat me well, and even wanted you to marry me?"
This secret has been buried for many years.
Shen Weiyi raised her head, meeting the man’s increasingly cold gaze, gently laughing, "And... I found out because I happened to witness it."
If she hadn’t turned back halfway to get something on her way to the company that day, she might have been kept in the dark her entire life.
Not knowing is one thing, but once you know, everything changes.
The kindness Mr. and Mrs. Lu once showed her now seemed marked with guilt as if they owed her.
"Mrs. Lu tried to explain in a rush, but my mind was in a complete mess, unable to absorb anything, accidentally pushing her, so... ah!"
Shen Weiyi’s words were abruptly cut off by Lu Huai’an, who had been quietly sitting beside her, suddenly pinning her against the cold car door, strangling her neck.
Her back struck the car door directly, stirring a hornet’s nest, as if about to shatter.
Lu Huai’an’s facial lines were taut and icy, his dark eyes hiding a roar capable of devouring all things, four cold words almost squeezed from his throat, "So what?"
For the first time in years, Shen Weiyi saw Lu Huai’an filled with a deadly aura, directed at her.
This man always appeared silent and distant; even standing just a meter away, others could never truly approach him.
He was truly filial; anything Mrs. Lu said he’d comply.
Since the day she was adopted by the Lu Family, he took on the responsibility, described by ’fulfilling any request,’ except for marriage.
He said little, acted much.
This fury that wished to strangle her was unprecedented.
Despite the thick winter clothes, her back pressed against the car door didn’t particularly hurt, but the man’s large hand grasping her neck tightened, making her struggle to breathe.
Shen Weiyi instinctively raised her hand, placing it on the man’s hand. She could almost clearly feel his bulging veins.
She didn’t resist, her eyes gradually became wet, spreading, her pale face flushed red from suffocation, yet she was still smiling.
"... So... Mrs. Lu fell down the stairs, actually... I, I fell on my own... Lin Chu was innocent, she even tried to help... yet was misunderstood by you father and son, truly... cough cough... truly wronged..."
The grip on her neck tightened further, making it hard for air to pass through her throat.
"I’m vicious... I’m ungrateful... but Lu Huai’an... have you never thought about... why I became this way? I was once... pure and flawless...so kind..."
