Chapter 35
Cheng Yang's voice came from the other end of the phone, as calm as ever, "I got the news three days ago that Ms. Lu lost tens of millions of dollars in the last big bet, and there is still a lot of vacancy for her to embezzle the company's public funds. Had to borrow foreign debt. According to incomplete statistics, the debt is as high as [-] million. In addition, she failed in an investment three months ago, which caused the company to suffer a lot. Shareholders have long complained about her. There are already several old shareholders Secretly united to try to pull her down..."

"The latest information I received is that due to the huge debts, Ms. Lu has been devastated. Apparently she has also found that the strategy of tearing down the west wall to pay for the east wall is not feasible. At present, she is planning to..."

"She has only one way to raise a large amount of money in a short period of time when she is burdened with huge debts." Lu Yuzhi's tone was as light as water, but with a hint of a smile, "sell the money under her name." shares of the company.”

And this share was taken from him back then.A trace of imperceptible hatred flashed in Lu Yuzhi's gloomy eyes.

At that time, he failed in an overseas investment, and he had a car accident not long after, and he almost became a useless person. The major shareholders of the company turned around and jointly demanded his resignation.

His position can be revoked, but the Lu family's group cannot change his surname. When his life and future are uncertain, he can only transfer the shares under his name to his aunt Lu Baozhu to preserve the Lu family's position in the group.

But this good aunt...

"It's time to eat."

The clear and soft voice brought Lu Yuzhi back from his memory, and it was rare for him to get used to the familiar yet unfamiliar voice.At some point in the living room, the light was turned on, and the dizzy yellow light shone down along the bridge of his straight nose, dyeing the slightly pursed thin lips with a soft color.

The meal was eaten in silence, Weilan wasn't too hungry, she only drank a bowl of soup, picked up a few vegetables, and didn't touch any meat, on the contrary, Lu Yuzhi seemed to have a good appetite.

"Bring me a bowl of rice."

“Sweet and sour pork ribs are not bad.”

Weilan understood immediately, took two pieces and put them in his bowl.

"And cooked mapo tofu?"

"You also need a bowl of soup."

After waiting for him to finish his meal, Wei Lan had almost digested everything she ate, she took the bowl to the kitchen to wash it, and when she came out, Lu Yuzhi was sitting and watching the news on TV, with his voice loud.

Weilan had no choice but to go to the bedroom to get clothes and take a bath.

Half an hour later, Wei Lan came out while wiping her hair, and the man also came in at some point, sitting by the bed, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

"Wait a minute and help me take a bath."

"Huh. Huh?" Weilan finally realized what he said after responding, her face blushed quickly, but her feet seemed to be fixed in place, unable to take a step.

He hadn't heard her voice for a long time, so he laughed at himself, "Forget it, I'll do it myself."

Weilan's heart began to ache again, when he walked by her side, she wanted to reach out to pull him, but caught a breath of cool air.

Hearing the bumping sound coming from the bathroom, Weilan gritted her teeth and followed in.

He had already started to take off his clothes. He moved very quickly, and soon there was no underwear left. He seemed to expect that she would definitely come in. He didn't even look back, "Put on the hot water."

Weilan tried the temperature of the water first, and only started to release it when she felt that it was almost ready. The water spread a shallow layer on the bottom of the bathtub, and then slowly flowed over his long legs. Weilan held a wet towel and wiped it nervously for him. Back, in the hot air, her clear eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist.

There was a soft sound of water breaking, Weilan heard it very clearly because of her high concentration, so she looked over curiously.

Seeing this, Weilan's ears turned red all over, and she was so frightened that she immediately threw the towel in her hand.

She almost didn't dare to look at his expression again—even though she knew he couldn't see, her face was blushing, her breathing was short, and her heart was about to jump out...

Still accidentally read it.

He didn't seem to have any embarrassment or embarrassment, as if nothing happened just now.

Weilan worked very hard to build up her mind: it's not that she hasn't seen it, it's not that she hasn't seen it, and it's not that she hasn't seen it.

After helping him take a bath, Weilan's body was covered with a layer of sweat, which was sticky and uncomfortable, so she had to wash it again.

When he came out, Lu Yuzhi was already lying on the bed. The central headlight in the bedroom was turned off, leaving only a lamp by the bedside, which illuminated a small corner. His side face was hidden in the darkness. Unclear expression.

Weilan thought he was asleep, hugged a thin blanket lightly, and was about to close the door when a neutral voice came from behind, "I don't need to remind you, there is no guest room in this house, right?"

Of course she knew that she originally planned to go to the sofa in the living room to settle down for the night.Weilan turned around and stood by the door for a while, and glanced at the person on the bed, his eyes were still closed, the room was so quiet, so quiet that even his breathing could be heard clearly, so that she couldn't deceive him What I said just now was just an auditory hallucination.

She moved over slowly, climbed onto the bed hesitantly, and lay down gently beside him.The bed was very big, and there was a long distance between the two of them. Wei Lan's stiff body fell on the soft bed, still feeling inappropriate, so she reached out to turn off the light.

Finally, there was not even the last ray of light left in the bedroom.

Weilan thought it would be difficult for her to fall asleep, but she didn't expect that listening to the gentle breathing, the sleepiness gradually sank, and it was already bright when she woke up.

Touching the position next to him, he only felt a tinge of coolness, he should have been up for a long time, Weilan sat on the bed in a daze for a while before going to wash up.

There are all kinds of toiletries in the bathroom, and they are still new and unopened. These things were not there last night. They should have been delivered by him early in the morning. She took out a toothbrush and started to brush her teeth.

The sun was shining brightly, and she followed Weilan's footsteps all the way. As soon as she walked down the last flight of stairs, she looked up and saw a man standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and making a phone call.

"I'll take her there directly later."

Wei Lan stood where she was, and after hearing what he said, she quickly realized that the "she" he said was referring to herself.

The man seemed to be aware of the movement, turned around, and the sun was behind him, printing that slender shadow on the ground, "Go and have breakfast."

When he was talking, the phone was still attached to his ear, and Weilan was stunned for a while before she realized that the words were addressed to herself, and when she was in a daze, Lu Yuzhi had already walked to the dining table and sat down. Holding a bowl of porridge to drink.

She thought about it for a long time last night, and felt that it was very necessary to clarify the relationship between the two of them with him at this time. Obviously, there was a deviation in their understanding on this point, and the deviation was not small.

"Lu Yuzhi," Weilan hesitated for a moment, but still planned to explain clearly to him.

It's just that she just said three words when the man on the opposite side suddenly paused, and the spoon made a screeching sound on the wall of the bowl.

How long has it been since she called her name like that?

Rao's heart was like the collapsed scene after an earthquake, his face was still clear and calm, "What's the matter?"

"We all know it's impossible to be together in this life, don't we?" Her voice was soft, but every word she said was like a needle, piercing each other's pain, "Since this is the case, why not just break it clean, so It won't do us any good to get entangled."

"Lu Yuzhi, you deserve a better woman, really."

After saying this, Weilan's chest was in pain as if being pricked by a needle, her face was full of tears.

Lu Yuzhi seemed to be calm all the time, even his voice didn't fluctuate, "Finished?"

Weilan let out a soft choked sob, "Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau sometime..."

"Today is grandma's death day. She was always thinking about you before she died. If you go to see her, forget about her last concern."

"As for the matter you just said, I will get someone to deal with it as soon as possible, and you only need to sign it at that time."

After saying this, the man pushed away the chair, stood up, and walked out without hesitation, while the bowl of porridge in front of him was still steaming after two or three mouthfuls.

Obviously she has got the answer she wants, but Weilan's heart seems to have fallen to the bottom, and she is in heavy and sharp pain.

So be it.

we can only do this.

Lu Yuzhi came back this time to pay respects to the old lady. Although the schedule was delayed by two days, the servants had already properly prepared all the necessary sacrificial offerings.

The old lady's tomb is located in Lu's cemetery, on the northeast corner, which was specially selected by a Feng Shui master.Two or three days before she passed away, she called Lu Yuzhi to the bedside and explained the funeral, "The old man still has a first wife, so I won't join in the fun. Help me choose a clean place."

"...You clearly know that it was a misunderstanding, why didn't you explain it clearly to her? Weilan is a kind girl, if she knows the truth, she will definitely..." The old lady's body is too weak, and she can hardly speak a few words atmosphere.

"Grandma," Lu Yuzhi held her hand, "It is precisely because I know she will come back to me without hesitation that I can't tell her the truth, the way I am now..."

The old lady smiled weakly, as if she wanted to say something, but she had no strength left, so she just patted his hand lightly.

Grandma won't be here anymore, you can't see your eyes, and you're all alone, how will you live the rest of your long life?

The old man walked away in one night, and he walked peacefully without suffering too much pain.

Lu Yuzhi stood guard in front of her mourning hall all night without eating or drinking, knelt without saying a word, and could not be persuaded by anyone to get up. When everyone else had left and the night was quiet, he finally couldn't help it and wept bitterly.

His life has repeatedly encountered ups and downs, and in the end even this elder who cherished him left, and a layer of frost was added to the snow, as if walking barefoot on ice, trembling, not knowing when or where he would fall. Fall, there is no day to stand up again.

Lu Yuzhi stood in front of the grave, sighing softly in his heart: "Grandma, I brought her here."

Wei Lan offered incense to the old lady, and bowed three more times. She had a lot to say in her heart, but she couldn't utter a single word. She looked sideways at the tall silent figure in front of her, and her vision gradually blurred.

"Son, promise grandma that no matter what happens, you will always be with him, okay?"

She didn't make it.

Between her and him, it seemed that they were counting down in "seconds".

From now on, we may never see each other again.

I don't know when, Lu Zeyi also came, Lu Qingling and Zhao Yunyun walked beside him, one on the left and one on the right, in such a solemn scene, he had a smile on his face and his eyes sparkled.

"Sister-in-law." Lu Qingling called out in a low voice, as if she didn't have any doubts about why she appeared here.

Zhao Yunyun also looked over and nodded slightly towards her, Wei Lan noticed that her belly was slightly bulging.

Three years ago, the combination of Zhao Yunyun and Lu Zeyi was not favored by others, but unexpectedly they came all the way. On the contrary, they were praised as a match made in heaven, but now they are facing a situation where labor and Yan are separated.

God is still fair, and distributes the happiness that everyone deserves impartially.

Lu Zeyi also seemed to feel the dignified atmosphere at this time, and he stood quietly beside his wife, but his slightly curious eyes still uncontrollably turned towards Weilan.

"Choose one and go offer incense to grandma."

Zhao Yunyun put a small handful of incense into his hand, and she also took a handful. The two of them walked forward, bowed down and bowed in front of the old lady's grave.

Standing next to Weilan was Lu Qingling in black. In front of her, only that person was alone. She forced herself to look away, but it was as if someone had cast a spell on her body.

Reluctant to turn around and leave, just wanted to look at him a few more times, Weilan knew too well that from now on, she would have no reason or identity to stand in front of this man.

At the end, light rain fell from the sky, Lu Zeyi and his wife walked in the front, Lu Qingling helped Lu Yuzhi walk behind them, Weilan followed behind with an umbrella, she deliberately slowed down, gradually getting along with her. They distanced themselves.

From the beginning to the end, that slender figure never looked back.

Under the rain curtain, Weilan watched them drift away until they disappeared completely from sight, she finally couldn't help squatting on the ground, covering her face and crying.

The opened umbrella fell to the ground, blocking most of her body.

Lu Yuzhi, you must be fine.

You'll meet better women.

You will have children of your own in the future.

You can……

The rain didn't know when it stopped, Weilan raised her head, but saw a black umbrella blocking the top, she looked over in a daze, it turned out that it wasn't the rain that stopped, but someone was holding an umbrella next to her.

Zhao Yunyun glanced at her, then took out a small wooden box from behind and handed it over.

"what is this?"

Weilan opened it to look, her eyes turned cold, she was familiar with the things inside, it was crystal earrings.

"I was ignorant back then, and I wanted to leave. Lu Baozhu took advantage of my shortcomings and did something wrong under her threat. I have been disturbed by my conscience for the past three years. I owe you this."

When Weilan returned to her home, Zhao Yunyun's previous words kept echoing in her mind, "On the day of your wedding, Lu Baozhu gave me an earring, and asked me to take the pair of earrings she gave you in the heirloom jewelry box while my mother-in-law was not paying attention. The earrings were replaced, I don't know what she wants to do, but I still keep an eye out, the three earrings look exactly the same, but in fact there is something hidden..."

"I only found out later that the owner of that pendant was the murderer who indirectly killed your mother."

Wei Lan hurriedly filled a basin of water, put the two earrings in it, and watched quietly with her breath held.

"There is no difference between the earrings passed to the daughter-in-law and the daughter of the Lu family on the surface, but once immersed in water, the difference can be found. The earrings passed on to the daughter-in-law will show a round of sun, while the earrings passed on to the daughter will appear curved. moon."

"Lu Baozhu is too cautious. She knows that you will know the secret of the earrings sooner or later, so she instructed me to exchange one earring for the pair that my mother-in-law gave you, that is, the pair passed on to my daughter-in-law. I kept I thought about it and kept one for myself after changing it. Lu Baozhu was so proud at the time that she didn't realize that there was only one earring in the box I gave her."

"If you're right, put these two earrings into the water, and you'll see..."

A round sun and a crescent moon in the water are clearly reflected in Wei Lan's eyes.

"The mother-in-law is innocent. After Yuzhi's accident, she was overly sad. After half a month, she became a monk and never asked about world affairs. Everything she did and said was forced by Lu Baozhu. Lu Baozhu is the real The one who killed your mother!"

Zhao Yunyun's words echoed in her mind over and over again, forcing Wei Lan to almost have a splitting headache, how is it possible?That Aunt Bao who has always been like her biological mother is actually the murderer of her mother?
