After dinner and a simple rinse, Lu Chenxu came to the study on the first floor.

He knew that his father had a habit of reading a book in the study for an hour before going to bed. Because of something in his heart, he didn't open the door and went in directly.

Father Lu saw that he hurriedly stuffed the photo in his hand into the book.

Then he pretended to be calm and asked, "It's so late, Chen Xu, what's the matter?"

Lu Chenxu looked suspiciously at the book in his father's hand, and reached out to grab it.

But he was stopped by Lu's father.

He stared at Father Lu's eyes and said in a low voice, "I met Li Qiuhe in Daoxiang Village this time."

Sure enough, there was a trace of panic on Father Lu's face: "She, she—"

"Who is she?" Lu Chenxu asked.

He didn't fully believe Li Qiuhe's words, she should indeed have a terminal illness, just because the father gave her such a precious diamond ring as a souvenir, and the diamond ring was exactly the same as the one given to his mother, which is completely inexplicable!

"She, she was a classmate of mine in high school." Father Lu was a little guilty and didn't dare to look at his son's face.

Lu Chenxu silently took out the diamond ring and put it in front of Lu's father: "This is what Xiao Su asked me to give back to you. Who is Xiao Su, Dad, you should know!"

Father Lu was shocked: "You, you already know?"

"I don't know anything, Dad, I want to hear from you." After that, he moved a chair and sat down in front of his father.

Seeing that, Father Lu couldn't hide anything from his son, so he sighed helplessly, and took out the photo that was just hidden in the book.

"She, she was my first love."

"At that time, we were all studying in Huaze County No. 1 Middle School. She was recognized by the school as the school's beauty. She was a good student and a good person. Many boys secretly liked her behind her back."

"In the summer vacation of my sophomore year of high school, I went to my grandmother's house in Daoxiang Village. She was accidentally bitten by a water snake while washing clothes by the river. I happened to pass by and helped her **** out the poisonous blood from the wound in time, and then sent it to the town hospital. ."

"Then, we gradually became familiar with each other, and later became lovers." Father Lu raised his head and kept his eyes fixed on Van Gogh's "The Harvest Season" on the wall opposite the desk, as if caught in some kind of beauty 's memories.

Lu Chenxu had never seen this kind of expression on his father's face, like happiness, but a bit bitter.

"We made an appointment to be admitted to the best university in China, to live hard, to go abroad, to Van Gogh's hometown. We are full of fantasy about the future life."

"However, in the third year of high school, her only younger brother was in a group fight with others and was accidentally injured. After being sent to the hospital, she was in a coma. Her mother passed out immediately when she heard the news. After waking up, her mind became a little abnormal. already."

"The family's life suddenly became chaotic. At that time, there was no source of income for the rural people. His brother faced huge medical expenses every day. The other party also accused her brother of doing it first."

"Under such circumstances, she did not perform well in the college entrance examination. Then, she broke up with me and went straight to go home and get married. Because the other party gave their family a lot of dowry, she also promised to help find a doctor to see her brother."

"Later, I went to Yucheng to go to college. I met your mother in my junior year, and I never heard about her again. When your mother and I were about to get married, we went to Daoxiang Village, and only then did we hear about her. Said her brother has died. She has given birth to a son."

"Afterwards, until you were ten years old, when our factory started to make money, one time, I went to that kind of place to talk business with people, and I met her being bullied by five or six men. I was angry with those people. She got up and threatened to call the police, which saved her."

There was a trace of grief and anger on Father Lu's face, and he seemed very reluctant to recall the past.

"At that time, I learned that her child passed away because of illness, and her husband became bad after he became rich. He also got into gambling, and finally mortgaged her to those creditors in a madness. I asked someone to help her. I taught that man a lesson and forced that man to divorce her. I gave her some money and sent her back to Daoxiang Village."

"Later, we didn't see each other again." After saying this, Father Lu seemed to have exhausted all his strength and leaned on the back of the chair tiredly.

After a moment of silence, Lu Chenxu asked softly, "What about this diamond ring! Have you ever thought about how sad my mother would be if she found out!"

"Chen Xu, that's what I owe her. On the day we broke up, she cried and begged me to ask her father to give her a dowry of 1,000 yuan to help her brother heal. That way she wouldn't have to marry that man, She just wants to marry me for the rest of her life."

"One thousand yuan was considered a huge sum of money in the countryside at that time. At that time, your grandmother actually had money in her hands, but I didn't dare to ask for it from my family. I was too cowardly."

"If I had been braver, she wouldn't have married that bastard, and she wouldn't have had such a miserable life. I caused all of this. I cowardly and cruelly refused when she needed help the most. She. Over the years, I have been blaming myself in my heart."

"A few days ago, I met her in Daoxiang Village by chance, and only then did I know that she had cancer, and there were only less than two months left. In order to compensate her, and for myself not to regret any more, I specially found someone to customize it. A diamond ring."

After speaking, Father Lu opened his eyes and looked at his son: "Chen Xu, will you look down on Dad!"

Lu Chenxu looked at his father, it seemed that what Li Qiuhe said was true, Xiao Su was not his own sister.

"Dad, I hope you will cherish my mother in the future! I will handle Xiao Su's affairs for you."

"You?" Father Lu was a little surprised.

"Yes, I have promised her mother that I will find her a job in Yucheng, so that she can stand and live in Yucheng."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the clock on the wall: "It's getting late, you should rest early!"

When he opened the door and was about to go out, Father Lu said softly behind him, "son, thank you!"

Lu Chenxu paused, did not look back, and walked out of the study.

When he was about to go to the second floor, he suddenly saw Mother Lu walking over from the kitchen with a water glass.

"Mom, you haven't slept yet?" He was a little surprised.

Mother Lu's expression was a little unnatural: "I'm a little thirsty, go get a glass of water to drink, how about you, why haven't you slept?"

"I have something to discuss with my dad! Your blood pressure is a little high, so rest early!" After instructing his mother carefully, Lu Chenxu was ready to go upstairs to sleep.

But Mother Lu stopped him behind him: "Chen Xu, I suddenly remembered something."

"what's up?"

"That's right, I looked at Zhao Fen's ID card a few days ago, and she seems to be from Mengshan County, Qingcheng."

"Really?" Lu Chenxu was a little surprised that Li Muta's family was also from Mengshan County, Qingcheng. What a coincidence?

"I should remember correctly, don't worry, I will take the time to ask her tomorrow to see if she has heard of Zhao Yun." Lu Chenxu asked, but Mother Lu was a little unsure, scratched her head and said.

"Mom, be careful when you speak, and don't reveal that we are looking for a child. I'm afraid that if it gets out, some people will take the opportunity to cause trouble, which will be detrimental to the child."

After the incident in Daoxiang Village, he felt that some people were too greedy by nature and too scary. In order to protect children, the less people know, the better.
