In the following days, Lu Jinghuai and Lin Yan seemed to be in a legitimate relationship.
Although the two still don't have much time to spend alone together due to work, there are many differences. For example, Lu Jinghuai used to get off work on time, or even later, and then go directly to the parking lot.
Now, when there is no important studio, Lu Jinghuai will use his work for personal gain, leave work a few minutes early, go downstairs to the translation department, and pick up Lin Yan from get off work together.
After get off work, the two of them no longer go home directly. They occasionally go out to have a meal, go shopping, or have a date.
However, after returning home, Lu Jinghuai would still go to the study alone to handle work, while Lin Yan would go back to her room, wash up, lie on the bed, play games, and wait for Lu Jinghuai to come back.
When they go to bed at night, they hug each other as if they had confirmed their relationship, but they don't go any further.
Saturday came in a blink of an eye. This was the day that the Lu family of three had agreed to return to Huaicheng to visit the graves of the Lu couple.
Uncle Chen at home prepared flowers for the few people to visit the grave. When packing up, Uncle Chen seemed to sigh with some relief.
"In the past, the young master would go back to Huaicheng alone to visit the chairman and his wife every year. This year, he has the young lady and the young lady with him. It's great."
Lin Yan's hand, which was tidying up the flowers, paused inexplicably. She couldn't help but think of Lu Jinghuai. Since he was eighteen or nineteen years old, he had returned to Huaicheng alone every year to pay homage to his parents.
Lin Yan suddenly felt a little sad.
Indeed, this year is really great.
The group packed up and set off early, as it would be too hot if they left later. At around seven or eight o'clock, just as the sun was rising, the three of them got on the bus to Huaicheng.
The driver was driving the car, Lu Jinghuai was in the passenger seat, and Lin Yan and Lu Yingqian were sitting in the back.
Perhaps because of the special itinerary today, the three of them were a little silent on the road. After three hours of driving, they got off the highway in Huaicheng and drove directly to the cemetery.
Lin Yan was inexplicably nervous. Although she was only going to pay tribute to Lu Jinghuai's parents, this was indeed her first time meeting her in-laws.
The car stopped at the cemetery. The location of the Lu family cemetery was very good. It was far away from the downtown area and had a wide view.
Lu Jinghuai didn't say anything. Lin Yan knew that he was in a bad mood, so she just silently held Lu Yingqian's hand and followed behind him.
Finally, we arrived at the tombstone of Lu's parents. A bunch of sunflowers was placed in front of the tombstone, clean and tidy.
"Has anyone been here?" Lin Yan was stunned for a moment. She remembered it was written in the book.
Neither Mrs. Lu nor the Lu family has any elders or relatives, and the family is a single-line inheritance.
Lu Jinghuai's eyes fell on the bunch of sunflowers and he sneered with a hint of disdain in his tone.
"Song Jingya's mother and my mom were close friends, best friends now, right? We grew up together. When my parents passed away unexpectedly, she suffered more than anyone else..."
It was also for this reason that Lu Jinghuai never suspected that his parents' accident was related to the Song family in the past few years. It was not until he took over the Lu family completely that he discovered something wrong.
Lin Yan had heard Lu Jinghuai talk about his suspicions about the Song family, and when she heard these words, her heart inexplicably tightened.
Song's mother had such a good relationship with Madam Lu back then. After the accident at the Lu family, Lu Jinghuai had no other relatives, so he must have trusted the Song couple, right?
How did Lu Jinghuai later discover that the elder he trusted was the murderer of his parents, and how did he accept this truth?
Lin Yan felt inexplicably suffocated and her chest was stuffy. She couldn't help but stepped forward and held Lu Jinghuai's hand.
Lu Jinghuai came back to his senses, his eyes became much clearer, and his gaze fell on the sunflower in front of the tombstone again.
"This was sent by Song Jingya's mother. She said my mother likes flowers, so she sends a bouquet to her every month."
If she didn't know the inside story, Lin Yan would definitely sigh that Lu's mother and Song's mother had a good relationship, but after knowing the inside story, she just felt terrible.
The Lu couple has been dead for nine years, and Song's mother has been able to act for nine years. It's really scary.
Lu Yingqian didn't know what the relationship was between her parents' deaths and the Song family, but from the conversation and reactions of her brother and sister-in-law, she knew that something was wrong with the Song family.
"Brother, is there something wrong with the Song family? But wasn't it Song Jingya from the Song family who provided the information and knew I was in Xiaoliang Village?"
Lu Yingqian was actually a little grateful to Song Jingya. If it weren't for Song Jingya, she might have to stay in Xiaoliang Village for the rest of her life.
She had originally wanted to find an opportunity to thank Song Jingya. Later, she sensitively noticed that Song Jingya seemed to like her brother and was said to have hurt her sister-in-law.
Lu Yingqian thought she liked Lin Yan the most and had no intention of changing her sister-in-law, so she could only be an ungrateful person.
But today... Lu Jinghuai's words made her confused. Did Song's mother have a good relationship with her mother when she was alive? But Lu Jinghuai's expression didn't suggest that.
Lu Yingqian's sudden voice also brought Lu Jinghuai and Lin Yan out of their thoughts and they looked at Lu Yingqian.
Lu Jinghuai had never intended to tell Lu Yingqian about the grudges between his family and the Song family. He didn't want Lu Yingqian to fall into hatred.
But he inexplicably thought of the information that Lin Yan had revealed when she had criticized him before.
Lu Yingqian and Song Jingya became good friends, and Lu Yingqian also brought him and Song Jingya together.
Lu Jinghuai was silent for a moment and did not hide anything. He started talking directly about what happened that year, the evidence and discoveries he had found over the years, and his guesses in a few simple sentences.
"I suspect that my parents' car accident wasn't an accident, but it was such a chaotic time. The Song family helped with their funeral, and I can't find any evidence."
Lu Jinghuai took a deep breath and continued, "And about your disappearance. On the afternoon of the day you disappeared, the nanny said you went to the Song family's house to look for Song Jingya, but Song Jingya said she wasn't home at the time and didn't know you had gone to look for her."
Lu Jinghuai's eyes were filled with pain: "Qianqian, whether it's your disappearance or your parents' car accident, it may be related to the Song family."
Lu Yingqian stood there in a daze. Lin Yan was a little worried about Lu Yingqian and held her hand.
"Qianqian, don't be afraid." Lu Yingqian's hands were a little cold, probably because she was frightened.
It's normal for a teenage girl to be frightened by receiving such a string of information.
After a while, Lu Yingqian came back to her senses, looked at Lu Jinghuai in front of her and nodded vigorously.
“Brother, sister-in-law, don’t worry, I’m not afraid.”
The little girl bit her lower lip, looked up at Lu Jinghuai, and said, "Brother, you have worked hard over the years."
When the accident happened to the Lu family, Lu Jinghuai was only nineteen years old. Seriously speaking, he was still a half-grown child, but Lu Jinghuai was carrying too much pressure.
He needs to find his missing sister and investigate the inside story of his parents' car accident. At the same time, he has to deal with the venomous Song couple.
Lu Jinghuai's expression softened: "It's not hard, it's worth it."
Lu Jinghuai's gaze fell on his parents' tombstone. Now that his sister was found, the only one left was the Song family.
