Before they parted, Lin Yan gave Xu Manyu a cell phone, held her hand, and told her earnestly, "Send me a message if you encounter any problems."
Xu Manyu also smiled and nodded, and patted Lin Yan's shoulder to comfort her.
After watching Xu Manyu follow the female police officer into the police station, Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the car.
Lu Jinghuai glanced at her and asked, "You like her very much."
Lin Yan knew that Lu Jinghuai was talking about Xu Manyu. She was silent for a moment but did not respond, and even her heart was silent.
Just when Lu Jinghuai thought Lin Yan would not answer the question and asked the driver to drive, Lin Yan answered.
"Maybe I felt a sense of responsibility towards her. I was the one who got the information out of her and brought her out of Xiaoliang Village."
Lin Yan turned her head and looked at Lu Jinghuai: "She is different from others. She was not abducted into Daliang Village. She was sold there."
Lu Jinghuai was stunned and frowned slightly, not quite understanding what she meant.
"Xu Manyu was sold to Zhang Guodong by her parents for a 140,000 yuan betrothal gift because her brother had no money for his wedding. It was also for this reason that Zhang Guodong felt justified in beating her whenever he got angry."
Lin Yan felt a lump in her throat as she spoke: "Even if she was rescued, she couldn't go home. You could say she actually has no home anymore."
There was a long silence in the car, and Lin Yan also let out a long sigh: "She and I are actually similar... Besides the responsibility, we also empathize with each other."
Lu Jinghuai froze for a moment. He looked at Lin Yan, but Lin Yan didn't look at him.
Lu Yingqian noticed that Lin Yan was in a bad mood, so she stayed close to her. Lin Yan looked a little tired and didn't say a word.
Lin Yan was kidnapped in the morning and flew back in the afternoon, feeling a little tired. She fell asleep inexplicably and entered a dream.
Lin Yan's previous life, or rather, before she traveled through time, was also called Lin Yan. She was not abducted and lived with her biological parents, but her life was not much better.
She was born in an ordinary family in the countryside and had a younger brother. Her parents favored boys over girls but never treated her badly in terms of food and drink. Until graduation, she experienced a situation similar to that of the original owner and Xu Manyu.
My younger brother has no money to get married, so he can only marry my elder sister first to get the bride price.
With a betrothal gift of 150,000 yuan, she was not even as lucky as the original owner, who had her senior class teacher and Gu Zhiyi pay to help support her parents.
Lin Yan had no one to help her, but she was still unwilling to give up. The day before her wedding, she ran away from home and left the home where she had lived for more than 20 years.
But her situation is better than Xu Manyu's. She is a healthy adult and can live a good life after leaving her family and work hard to make money.
It’s already good...
I don’t know why, but Lin Yan felt inexplicably uncomfortable, probably because she felt wronged.
When Lin Yan woke up again, she was already in a familiar environment, the wedding room of her and Lu Jinghuai in the Lu family.
She had almost forgotten the dream she had just had. She only remembered that she had a dream, a dream that happened a long time ago.
Lin Yan shook her head and didn't think about it anymore. She looked around the room and found that Lu Jinghuai was not there. She looked at the time and it was past ten o'clock. It was already dark outside the window.
At this time, my stomach growled. I had last eaten around 2 o'clock, so I should be hungry.
Lin Yan rubbed her forehead, got up from the bed, went to the bathroom, washed her face, brushed her teeth, and went downstairs.
The main lights in the living room downstairs were not on, but the night lights were on.
She couldn't see clearly in the dim light, so she walked down the stairs slowly, holding on to the wall.
The aunt and the cook at home should have rested at this time, and she didn't want to disturb anyone, so she walked into the kitchen with light steps.
There are quite a lot of things in the refrigerator, and there are wontons made by my aunt in the freezer.
Lin Yan took out a small bag and cooked a small bag herself. The wontons were rolling in the pot. Lin Yan looked at the time and knew that they would be ready to eat in five minutes.
She simply set an alarm, half leaned against the cupboard, lowered her eyes, and slowly browsed Weibo. The new book of her favorite novel author was released.
Finally, he yawned lazily. Life with money was so comfortable.
The alarm clock rang, Lin Yan turned it off, turned off the stove, and then found a beautiful big soup bowl from the cupboard and poured half the pot of wontons into it.
Then he slowly walked into the restaurant carrying the wontons, placed the wontons carefully, and was about to sit down when the overhead light suddenly came on.
The sudden bright light made Lin Yan feel uncomfortable for a moment. She subconsciously raised her hand to block it, and then looked at the headlight switch in a daze.
It was Lu Jinghuai who came down from the study upstairs at some point. After turning on the light, he put down his hand and looked at Lin Yan.
"Why don't you turn on the light?"
Lin Yan blinked and looked away, stirring the wontons in the bowl with a spoon, trying to cool them down a little, while answering Lu Jinghuai.
"You can see it with the small light on."
Lu Jinghuai also came over and took a look at the wontons in front of Lin Yan: "I'm hungry too."
Lin Yan had just put the first wonton into her mouth. Hearing this, she looked up at Lu Jinghuai again. She thought for a moment and spoke kindly.
"There are wontons in the kitchen refrigerator. If you're hungry, you can cook some. It only takes 5 minutes to cook."
[Anyway, just don't steal my wontons. This bowl of wontons is just enough for me.]
Lu Jinghuai glanced at Lin Yan, said "hmm", and got up and went into the kitchen.
About ten minutes later, Lu Jinghuai came out with a bowl of wontons. By then, Lin Yan had almost finished eating.
Lu Jinghuai sat down opposite Lin Yan with wontons in his hand, lowered his eyes and started eating the wontons.
[Why does Lu Jinghuai feel so weird today? ]
Lin Yan couldn't help but look up at Lu Jinghuai opposite her. She just felt that Lu Jinghuai was weird today. Although he looked normal, she didn't say much.
But Lu Jinghuai didn't say anything, so she didn't ask too much, nor did she know how to ask. She couldn't just ask him why he was acting so weird today, right?
So Lin Yan just wondered in her heart for a moment.
After finishing the wontons in the bowl, Lin Yan took a napkin to wipe her mouth, then stood up and planned to take the bowl to the kitchen to wash it.
However, just as she was about to stand up, Lu Jinghuai called out to her, "Lin Yan."
Lin Lu Jinghuai also stopped eating wontons and looked at Lin Yan.
The look in Lu Jinghuai's eyes was extremely complicated, and Lin Yan was a little confused.
However, Lin Yan only hesitated for a few seconds before sitting down on the stool.
"What do you want to say?"
"Lin Yan, does marrying me make you miserable?"
