Chapter 60 Wan Baoer, Let Me Explain

The temperature indoors was just right, but Sang Wan didn't feel any warmth at all.

She stretched out her hand stiffly, her fingertips trembling, and touched the brown paper bag.

Very thin, yet heavy as a thousand pounds.

She took a deep breath, as if using up all her strength, before pulling out the documents.

White paper, black words.

【Traffic Accident Death Information Confirmation Form】

Name: Sheng An.

The following information, including the location, date, and time, is exactly the same as on her mother's death certificate.

…

The night is as deep as ink.

Lu Tingzhou's villa was brightly lit, but too quiet.

The man sat on the sofa in the living room, smoking a cigarette.

He held the phone and made five or six calls in the evening, but Sang Wan didn't answer.

The message I sent fell on deaf ears.

A strong sense of uneasiness eroded his heart.

Just when he was about to ask Lin Hao to use his connections to investigate, there was a beep from the door and the electronic lock opened.

Lu Tingzhou suddenly stood up from the sofa and looked towards the door in surprise.

That slender figure walked in with an expressionless face.

The man's heart was relieved. He strode over and picked her up before she had time to change her shoes.

As the world spun around, Sang Wan fell into a strong embrace.

The refreshing cedar scent on the man's body was once her most reassuring harbor, but now it made her feel cold.

"Miss me so much?"

Lu Tingzhou held her in his arms, walked back to the living room, put her on his lap, bent down and kissed her forehead, his voice filled with an irrepressible smile and doting.

"I've been away for just one day and you're already coming back. You're becoming more and more clingy, little fox."

Sang Wan didn't struggle or respond.

She just sat quietly on his lap, looking up at him intently with her palm-sized face.

The pair of eyes that always had a smile or a cunning look in them in the past were now expressionless.

The smile on Lu Tingzhou's face froze little by little under her gaze.

The uneasiness in his heart grew again.

"What's wrong?"

He touched her cheek, and it was cold to the touch.

"Did you get wronged on the set? Or... did something happen?"

Sang Wan still didn't say anything, just looked at him.

That look seemed to be scrutinizing him, and Lu Tingzhou felt frightened.

With his status, no one had ever dared to stare at him like this. And he had never been so flustered as he was now.

He would rather she cried and made a fuss than be in such dead silence now.

It felt as if she had been pulled out of his life in an instant three years ago.

a long time.

Sang Wan finally spoke, "Lu Tingzhou, are you hiding something from me?"

Lu Tingzhou looked at her, not knowing what she knew or where the problem lay.

I could only stare into her eyes, trying to find some clues from the bottomless pool.

But at this moment, she was too calm.

Lu Tingzhou understood her. The calmer she was, the worse it was.

The air seemed to freeze.

The villa was so quiet that they could hear each other's heartbeats. Sang Wan saw the panic that flashed across his eyes, and the last bit of hope in her heart was completely extinguished.

She pulled the corners of her mouth, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.

"My mother's death..."

She paused and spoke the rest of the words clearly.

"Is it related to you?"

The moment he finished speaking, Lu Tingzhou's hand holding her shook violently, and the muscles in his arm tensed instantly.

She still knew.

He had imagined the scene after she knew the truth countless times, but he never thought it would be so calm.

Panic and powerlessness swept over him in an instant.

Lu Tingzhou's Adam's apple rolled and his lips moved for a long time before he found his voice, which was dry and hoarse.

"...How did you know that?"

This question is tantamount to the most direct admission.

Sang Wan looked at his acquiescing expression, and the dead silence in his eyes was finally replaced by overwhelming hatred.

She raised her hand and slapped him in the face with all her strength.

“Bang!”

The crisp sound was particularly harsh in the empty living room.

Lu Tingzhou was hit so hard that his head tilted to the side. Five clear fingerprints instantly appeared on his handsome face.

He didn't move or speak, just let the burning pain spread across his cheek.

But the hand holding Sang Wan did not loosen at all.

"Lu Tingzhou," Sang Wan's voice was shrill, "Can you sleep well at night?"

"He indirectly killed my mother, and yet he can be with me as if nothing happened, even thinking about having sex with me."

"Do you still have a heart?"

Sang Wan had completely collapsed at this moment, tears streaming down her face.

Lu Tingzhou didn't want to stimulate her anymore, fearing that she couldn't bear it.

He tightened his arms, holding her tightly in his embrace, allowing her fists to fall on him.

His chin rested on the top of her head, his voice hoarse and pleading.

"Wanbaoer, please listen to my explanation."

"Things...are not what you think. It was an accident."

Lu Tingzhou hugged her tightly, his voice trembling. "I never thought of hiding it from you. Since you've forgotten, let's start from the beginning. I'll be by your side and protect you."

He was a little incoherent and didn't know how to explain.

"What do you mean by starting from scratch?"

Sang Wan's eyes were red as she glared at him, "What would my mother think if I were to be with you?"

Lu Tingzhou thought that Sang Wan's memory of the past had not recovered.

"Lu Tingzhou, you have no heart."

"Wanwan, it's not what you think. My car had a problem that day and the brakes failed. It wasn't my intention."

Sang Wan broke free from his restraints, raised her hand to touch the tears on her face, and sneered, "Lu Tingzhou, don't look for me again."

After she finished speaking, she turned and left.

Lu Tingzhou followed her out, but was scolded by Sang Wan, "Don't follow me, or I will kill you."

The fierceness in her eyes made Lu Tingzhou pause. He didn't dare to provoke her, fearing that she would do something extreme.

As Sang Wan got into the car, Qi Qi sent her a message, followed by a phone call.

She took a breath and answered the phone.

"Wanjie, I've sent you the paternity test report of Xu Shiming and Xu Mingyue. Please take a look."

After Qi Qi finished speaking, she comforted him, "Sister Wan, don't be sad."

Sang Wan didn't say anything, just hung up the phone and went to look at the document sent by Qi Qi.

When she saw the ending [The probability of parent-child relationship is 99.99%, supporting the biological father-daughter relationship between Xu Shiming and Xu Mingyue], Sang Wan opened her mouth and smiled, but no sound came out.

There are too many scammers in her life.

His father had deceived all of them for decades, and the person he had just identified turned out to be the culprit who killed his mother.

There was a flash of light in the sky, suddenly illuminating the gloomy night sky, followed by a "click".

The tranquility of the night was shattered.

The raindrops were dripping, Sang Wan stepped on the accelerator and drove directly out of the villa area.

Lu Tingzhou didn't dare to disturb her, and drove silently behind her.

Two cars were speeding in the night rain.

And Lu Tingzhou could only follow silently.

The wipers kept moving, as if trying to wipe away all the lies in the world.

Sang Wan's knuckles turned white from the force of gripping the steering wheel.

The car stopped at the gate of Xijiao Cemetery.

She didn't know where to go, and this was the only place where she could feel at peace.

The rain was getting heavier, hitting the car windows and making crackling sounds.

Sang Wan staggered out of the car, letting the cold rain hit her body.

She took one step deep and one step shallow, and almost fell in front of the familiar tombstone.

The woman in the photo has a gentle smile, and even though the rain is washing over her, she still smiles at him.

"mom……"

Sang Wan knelt on the ground, the cold rain mixed with hot tears and slid down her pale cheeks.

She reached out her hand and touched the cold tombstone tremblingly.

"Mom, I know you won't blame me, and you won't say anything to me even if you're unhappy, but I really don't remember it?"

"Please don't be angry with me, I was wrong."

The only sounds that answered her were the wind and rain, and in the dark and gloomy cemetery, the sounds were extremely eerie.

If it were any other time, Sang Wan would definitely not dare to come.

But tonight, she was having a meltdown and completely oblivious to her surroundings.

Not far away, Lu Tingzhou was also standing in the rain, looking at the figure curled up in front of the tombstone through the rain curtain.

The low sobs were like a knife in the night rain, stabbing into his heart and torturing him.

What happened was that her car had a problem, which led to her mother being buried here.

It caused her so much harm.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, Sang Wan's crying gradually became weaker, and finally she fell softly into the mud.

"Wanwan!"

Lu Tingzhou rushed over and picked her up from the cold ground.

The person in my arms was soaked and as cold as ice. Her beautiful eyes were completely closed at this moment, without any response.

…

Municipal Hospital, VIP ward.

The white bed sheet made Sang Wan's pale little face look even more transparent.

Her forehead was hit when she fell and was covered in blood.

Lu Tingzhou sat on the edge of the bed, motionless.

"Tingzhou, Miss Sang is fine. She fainted due to excessive emotional fluctuations and the fever caused by being caught in the rain."

Lu Tingzhou didn't say anything. He held Sang Wan's hand, stared at her blankly, and didn't respond.

Sang Wan slept very uneasily.

She sometimes frowned, sometimes twitched, and unclear mumblings kept coming out of her mouth.

"Mom...don't go..."

"It's so cold..."

Lu Tingzhou's heart was twisted into a ball by these dreams.

He reached out and stroked Sang Wan's face, feeling a little doubtful for a moment.

If I hadn't accepted her, would she not have suffered all this?

Whoever said the car accident was responsible was only those few people.

In just one month, sweetness seemed to be wrapped in arsenic. He thought he could protect her, but he didn't expect that in the end all the injuries were caused by him.

Thinking of this, Lu Tingzhou's eyes were filled with viciousness.

Suddenly, Sang Wan's mumbling became clear and sharp.

"Lu Tingzhou...I hate you!"

Three words, each one as sharp as a knife.

Lu Tingzhou held Sang Wan's hand and trembled suddenly. A crystal-clear tear flashed across his pale face.

…

I didn't sleep a wink for a whole day and night.

The once high-spirited and decisive President Lu now looks haggard.

There was a layer of blue stubble on his chin, his eyes were filled with scary red bloodshot, and the haute couture suit he was wearing was already wrinkled.

He just stared at the person on the bed, his voice full of panic, "Song Ze, why isn't she awake yet? Is there something wrong?"

"Ms. Sang's physical indicators are all normal, and her high fever has subsided. It's just that she was overly emotionally stimulated, and her body activated its self-protection mechanism."

"She needs time." Song Ze patted his shoulder, "You need it too, go and take a rest."

Song Ze is the director of cardiac surgery. He has never left the hospital since Sang Wan started living there.

Of course there is another person, Qu You.

"Mr. Lu, you go and rest. I'll stay with Wanwan."

Lu Tingzhou seemed not to hear, his eyes still fixed on Sang Wan's face.

Song Ze had no choice but to turn to Qu You, who was standing next to him with a worried look on his face.

"You stayed up all night last night, go back to the dormitory and get some sleep."

Qu You, Song Ze's student.
