This happened seven years ago, but every scene is so clear in the original owner's memory.

The blood in the dark night, the icy wind, the military coat that was the only thing that brought her warmth that night, and the reactions of everyone in that house, the laughing faces, all the liveliness and happiness did not belong to the original owner.

After the original owner had a serious illness, he completely saw through that family, and therefore he began to think about going to college and escaping.

It can be seen how much the original owner hates this matter.

Chu Yue slowly told Lu Zhanlin the story from the original owner's memory in the third person.

She laughed at herself, "...Isn't the little girl in this story stupid? She bought the pork at the cost of her own hunger and cold, so she should have eaten it all, not leaving any for the heartless people."

As she spoke, Chu Yue couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat. The blush at the corners of her eyes dyed her eye sockets red, and tears welled up in her eyes, and suddenly the tears fell.

It wasn't that Chu Yue herself wanted to cry, but another soul in her body was slowly shedding the tears that she had not shed seven years ago. Chu Yue couldn't control this.

Lu Zhanlin held Chu Yue in his arms and gently stroked her back, "Ayue, if you feel bad, just cry it out. It will make you feel better."

How could he not hear that this was not the story of "another little girl", but something that really happened to Chu Yue.

He once guessed that Chu Yue had not had a good life before. If it was a normal family, how could they let their daughter marry a strange man instead of someone else?

But he never imagined that it would be so absurd.

Lu Zhanlin felt sorry for everything Chu Yue had experienced.

"Ah Yue, I have evidence in my hands. I can send them to jail right now."

"evidence?"

Chu Yue wiped the corners of her eyes, wiped away the uncontrollable tears, and looked at Lu Zhanlin with wet eyes.

Lu Zhanlin nodded with a serious face, "Well, I asked someone to investigate the matter of your college entrance examination score being replaced. I have all the evidence of their actions, including the testimony of some witnesses."

According to Lu Zhanlin's usual ruthless approach, he should have sent Li A-mei and Chu Yaoyao to jail long ago after obtaining the evidence.

But they are Chu Yue's relatives after all, and Chu Yue never showed any intention of investigating the matter further. Lu Zhanlin finally hid the evidence, maintained the status quo and did nothing.

But things are different now.

Chu Yue immediately understood what Lu Zhanlin meant. As long as she nodded, Li A-mei and Chu Yaoyao could be taken away immediately.

"Wait a little longer." Chu Yue said, "Going to jail will be their final destination, but not now. It would be too easy for them to be arrested directly. My drama is only halfway done, and there is still the other half to go."

"Okay, whatever you want to do, I will cooperate with you."

Lu Zhanlin indulges Chu Yue unconditionally, including playing the role of a "disfigured and disabled" old man.

After the emotions in Chu Yue's body subsided, her eyes quickly returned to their usual bright look.

Lu Yuanbao came over and held Chu Yue's hand worriedly, "Mom, I will protect you too. Let's fight the bad guys together."

Chu Yue hugged Lu Yuanbao tightly, "Yuanbao, you are really my mother's baby! But you are still young, so just leave things like beating up bad guys to your parents, you don't need to worry about it, just be happy every day. You haven't told me yet, have you missed your mother during this period?"

"I do!" Lu Yuanbao was rarely shy and nodded vigorously.

He told Chu Yue one by one about what he had done in recent days, especially how he caught a lot of cicada monkeys. He did not sell them but gave them to Chu Yue as medicinal materials.

Chu Yue praised Lu Yuanbao every time she heard him, and she praised him until his face turned red and he felt embarrassed.

…

After Chu Yaoyao and Li A'mei worked hard for an hour, five dishes and a soup were finally served.

They were both sweating from the work, and their faces were covered with traces of burnt ash. Chu Yaoyao opened her mouth to complain, but Li A'mei glared at her fiercely, and in the end she could only bite her lip and bear it.

Sister Li threw a towel to Chu Yaoyao, "Yaoyao, wash your face quickly, make it clean, and call Lu Zhanlin to come out for dinner."

When Chu Yaoyao heard this, she finally understood what she should do. She immediately changed her tired look and went to wash her face.

She dressed herself up beautifully and tried to push the door of the room. After trying hard, she found that the door would not open, so she could only knock on it helplessly.

A delicate voice came in.

"Brother Zhan Lin, the meal is ready, you can come out and eat."

Not long after, there was a click and the door opened.

Chu Yaoyao's face was full of smiles, wanting Lu Zhanlin to see her gentle and virtuous side, but when she saw that it was Chu Yue who opened the door, the expression on her face suddenly became distorted and she glared at Chu Yue fiercely.

Chu Yue was too lazy to even look at her. She walked past Chu Yaoyao and bumped her shoulder against hers.

"Chu Yue! How dare you bump into me!" Chu Yaoyao accused angrily.

Chu Yue pointed at Lu Zhanlin in the room and said, "Chu Yaoyao, are you sure you want to quarrel with me now?"

Just one sentence. No matter how angry Chu Yaoyao was in her heart, as long as she thought of Lu Zhanlin watching her, she could only swallow her anger and continue to be her gentle and virtuous fiancée.

Chu Yue looked at him and sneered, then took Lu Yuanbao out to eat.

In the room, Lu Zhanlin was already sitting in the wheelchair again, and Chu Yaoyao hurried over to help.

"Brother Zhan Lin, today's meals are all made by me, you must eat more. I'll push you out..."

"Need not."

Lu Zhanlin refused flatly, pushed his wheelchair out, and refused to let Chu Yaoyao touch him.

Although Chu Yue was the one who wanted to act in this scene and Lu Zhanlin agreed to cooperate, Lu Zhanlin still remembered what Chu Yue said at the beginning, "A man's chastity is the best dowry."

The most important thing between husband and wife is loyalty.

Even though he had no interest in Chu Yaoyao, and even hated her, Chu Yue would definitely be unhappy if he had any contact with Chu Yaoyao.

Lu Zhanlin didn't want Chu Yue to feel unhappy in the slightest.

He turned his wheelchair and immediately reached the dining table, even faster than Chu Yaoyao who had both legs intact.

In the blink of an eye.

When Chu Yaoyao came out to eat, Lu Zhanlin, Chu Yue, and Lu Yuanbao were already sitting at the dining table.

A'mei Li gave Chu Yaoyao a frantic look, asking her to please Lu Zhanlin. After all, they were just waiting for Lu Zhanlin to agree to get their engagement and status back.

Chu Yaoyao continued to say delicately, "Brother Zhan Lin, you eat meat——"

Among the five dishes and one soup, bacon is the only meat dish.

Chu Yaoyao had just picked up the chopsticks when someone beside her picked up the bacon and put it in Chu Yue's bowl.

Lu Zhanlin took the best piece of meat with his chopsticks and gave it to Chu Yue, "A Yue, you eat the meat."

Lu Yuanbao stretched out his hand and picked up the pork skin, and put it in Chu Yue's bowl. "Mom, you eat meat, eat more, I'll pick it up for you."

Seven years ago, the original owner was so miserable that she never had a chance to eat a piece of meat. Now someone is protecting her and trying to make up for the regret in her heart.
