Chapter 65 Lu Jingxiao, I'm begging you.
Gu Youran tried her best to minimize her presence; she had no choice, since she had automatically assumed the role.
She didn't do it on purpose.
Lu Jingxiao, looking like he was enjoying the show, sat calmly to the side and glanced at Gu Youran casually: "Didn't Miss Gu call me to say that?"
Gu Youran: "......"
She knew it; that scoundrel was vindictive.
To do this at such a time... to sow discord!
Bai Yuxin looked at Gu Youran in shock. This didn't sound like something Youran would say. What was ugly about Chris? Even if he wasn't as good-looking as Lu Jingxiao, he was...almost good-looking!
How can you say Chris is ugly?
If Chris finds out, will she even be able to live?
"Sister Youran, do you really say that?"
Gu Youran quickly waved her hand, her smile tinged with embarrassment: "No, no, I didn't say that." She immediately changed to something more palatable: "Sister, how can you believe a man's instigation? You can't trust what he says."
Gu Youran jogged forward and took Bai Yuxin's hand: "I saw your man yesterday, he's very handsome, extremely handsome!"
Sisters, you're eating well!
Baby Weiwei... eats just so-so.
Lu Jingxiao, that petty and narrow-minded man, is really not suitable to be with her precious daughter.
Bai Yuxin gave a haughty snort, put her hands on her hips, and snorted at Lu Jingxiao: "If you dare to slander my Chris again, I'll fight you to the death!"
Lu Jingxiao didn't take the person seriously at all, and leisurely took a sip of water from his cup.
His gaze never left Luo Zhiwei.
Lu Jingxiao suddenly seemed to realize something and coldly snorted, "Luo Zhiwei, you don't believe what I say, but you believe what Bai Yuxin says? What's the difference between what I said and what she said?"
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
She doesn't want to talk right now.
She always felt that Lu Jingxiao seemed to know something, and felt that there were some things she should clarify with him.
Luo Zhiwei looked at Gu Youran and Bai Yuxin: "Ranran, Yuxin, Mr. Lu and I have something to talk about. You two should go back first. You can come and see me when you have time."
Gu Youran didn't hesitate. She nodded understandingly, "Okay, I'll go to the company to take care of some things. I'll come over to keep you company after get off work tonight."
Bai Yuxin nodded obediently, "Then I'll go back to the Lu family's old house and come see Sister Luo again tomorrow."
After watching them leave, Luo Zhiwei calmly looked at Lu Jingxiao and asked, "Mr. Lu, are Zhao Tingguo and Lin Wanru in your hands?"
Ranran hasn't been cursing Zhao Tingguo with righteous indignation these past few days, which means that Zhao Tingguo isn't in her or Brother Gu's hands.
"What, are you going to plead for them?"
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
Lu Jingxiao glanced at Luo Zhiwei sideways, giving off a "you dare to plead for me or I'll kill you" vibe, staring at her with a naked look, waiting for Luo Zhiwei's next words.
"Mr. Lu, what are your plans to do with them?"
Luo Zhiwei always felt that Lu Jingxiao wanted to do something, but Zhao Tingguo and Lin Wanru didn't say anything, so for the time being, the two of them were fine.
Lu Jingxiao snorted coldly: "What do you think I should do to them? I think... killing them directly would be fine too."
He wouldn't hesitate to become a demon and personally seek justice for Weiwei, since some justice cannot be provided by the law.
Luo Zhiwei smiled faintly: "Lu Jingxiao, I'm not a saint, it's just... Zhao Tingguo can't die yet. I haven't figured out the truth about my mother's death yet, but it must be related to him, so... he can't just die like this."
Lu Jingxiao gave a haughty snort, glanced at Luo Zhiwei, and before he could speak, Luo Zhiwei interrupted him.
"Don't try to find out from them why we broke up. I'll tell you when the time comes."
If she really had to say something, it would be if she said it herself, rather than letting Lu Jingxiao learn the truth from someone else.
This is unfair to him, and it's unfair to her too.
She knew that one day Lu Jingxiao would find out everything, and she would tell him the whole story.
But now, she doesn't have the courage to face those long-buried memories. She doesn't know what to say or where to begin.
Lu Jingxiao's expression suddenly changed, turning so dark it could drip water: "You... Luo Zhiwei, you really don't want me to know the answer, do you? As the person involved, your so-called ex-boyfriend, don't I deserve to know the truth back then?"
He clearly knew that Weiwei had her reasons for breaking up with him, and he just wanted to know the truth, so why did he stop him?
Luo Zhiwei's eyes were pleading, even filled with an overwhelming sense of gloom. Her voice was hoarse: "Lu Jingxiao, I'll tell you the truth about the past when I'm ready to face it, okay?"
She really doesn't want to talk about it right now.
Lu Jingxiao recalled what the psychologist had said: he couldn't force Luo Zhiwei. Perhaps something had happened to her before, which was why she was like this. Since she didn't want to, then he... could only respect Weiwei's opinion.
He felt somewhat unwilling and uncomfortable; he felt he would be letting himself down by giving up like this.
The answer was right in front of him; he only needed one more step to find it, but now...
"Lu Jingxiao, I'm begging you."
Luo Zhiwei knew she was making things difficult for him. As the person involved, he did have the right to know the truth, but... she was selfish; she didn't want to remember.
She didn't want Lu Jingxiao to know about her shameful past.
Lu Jingxiao took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down and listen to Luo Zhiwei, so... he endured it.
“Fine, I’ll listen to you. I can choose not to ask for the truth, but…” Lu Jingxiao’s eyes were filled with determination and stubbornness: “Luo Zhiwei, I want you to tell me yourself. You must tell me yourself what happened back then.”
Luo Zhiwei remained silent, which was taken as acquiescence to his request.
Lu Jingxiao felt suffocated in the ward. He couldn't stay there any longer, as if someone was choking him. He desperately needed to absorb energy and fresh air, so he made an excuse: "I'm going out for some fresh air."
——
In the emergency exit of the inpatient department, Lu Jingxiao lit a cigarette. As he exhaled the smoke rings, it was as if he was exhaling all the pent-up frustration in his heart.
Lu Jingxiao gazed into the distance through the glass, his mind a jumble of thoughts, a jumble of unresolved ideas.
He finished his cigarette quickly, but he still seemed agitated. When he lit another cigarette, Si Ming appeared behind him.
"Third Brother, you can't smoke anymore. The emergency exit is full of smoke. Do you want to trigger the smoke detector?"
Si Ming, with a cold and serious expression, stubbed out the cigarette in Lu Jingxiao's hand.
Although Lu Jingxiao was displeased, he still acquiesced to Si Ming's actions.
Si Ming said softly, "Third Brother, you should see a psychologist. You've been acting very strangely lately; you seem to have trouble controlling your emotions."
Lu Jingxiao directly rejected Si Ming's suggestion: "No need, I know exactly what's wrong with me."
As long as Luo Zhiwei is well, his illness is not an illness.
Therefore, Luo Zhiwei was his best medicine, rather than a psychologist.
