Chapter 176 Waiting for him to come back and take you home
Lu Zhenyu had a particularly unlucky day. She almost twisted her ankle going down the stairs, cut her finger while making soup, and after putting her daughter to sleep, she couldn't fall asleep even though she was lying next to her.
He ran to the back garden for some fresh air and sat on the swing to call Shen Jingsi.
No one answered, and they didn't reply to my messages.
Thinking that I wanted to surprise the mother and daughter, and that I was already on the plane back, I didn't call any more.
New Zealand has a beautiful environment and a clear night sky; it feels like you could reach out and pluck the stars from the sky.
She sat there with her arms crossed, quietly appreciating the scene, a faint smile in her eyes.
In the few days since Shen Jingsi left, she has thought about many things.
But what she found most amusing, and what she wanted to ask Shen Jingsi in person, was how he managed to sneak into her bedroom while she was imprisoned in the Zheng family.
"Dig a tunnel? Or climb through the window?"
"But the thought of you huffing and puffing as you climb out the window to the third floor every night and then vault in from the outside is just so funny."
"How could you bear to sleep with me for over a month without telling me it wasn't a dream?"
"You didn't actually have the idea of having a child back then, did you, so that I would have no choice but to divorce Zheng Yaozong and marry you?"
"You're such a wicked man."
After sending out a series of messages, Lu Zhenyu's smile slowly faded. She stared blankly at the green chat box for a long time before typing, "Honey, when are you coming back? My baby and I miss you so much."
When she looked up again, it was already past midnight. Lu Zhenyu tidied up and prepared to go back to sleep with her daughter. When she looked up, she saw two figures pacing on the roof.
He frowned. "Jinchuan? Commandant?"
Both figures were startled at the same time.
"What are you two doing up there instead of sleeping?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Shin-ssi, dressed in his pajamas, ran out carrying a tablet.
"Aunt Chen, something terrible has happened!"
The officer who recognized the little guy called out to him, but it was too late.
Lu Zhenyu took the tablet and looked at the video that the little guy had pulled back the progress bar to start playing again.
The moment the explosion rocked the manor villa, her pupils constricted, her back stiffened, followed by a tingling sensation on her scalp and a persistent hissing sound in her ears.
Shen Xinyi ran out at this moment and saw that his younger brother had given his tablet to Lu Zhenyu. He rushed over and cried, "Mom!"
Lu Zhenyu did not react, but her eyes, which were fixed on the screen, were visibly turning red.
He glared at his younger brother and pulled him behind him. "Mom, don't worry, I believe Dad will be fine."
Lu Zhenyu was no longer able to hear anything, including the two brothers who arrived later.
His bony fingers gripped the tablet tightly as he walked out with a blank stare, but the two brothers blocked his way from the left and right.
"Sister, you can't go out now."
"Let go!" Lu Zhenyu couldn't even hear her own voice, shouting instinctively, "I told you to let me go, did you hear me!"
She seemed to feel no pain; knowing she couldn't win against two men, she still resisted with all her might.
Her two delicate wrists were rubbed raw and bloody, so much so that Shen Jinchuan and Siwei couldn't bear to pinch them any longer.
Now that things have come to this, Siwei knows there's no point in hiding it from her any longer. "Zhenzhen, the third brother sent us here for your sake, mother and daughter. While you're in this courtyard, the people he arranged can keep you safe. But once you step out of this courtyard, your life will be out of your control."
"You all knew all along?" Lu Zhenyu asked, her eyes bloodshot.
Neither of them spoke.
She strained her already hoarse voice, "Why didn't you stop him? Knowing there was danger, why did you just watch him go to his death!"
This was the second time Siwei had witnessed Lu Zhenyu lose her temper; the first time was when she miscarried.
That look in her eyes seemed to regard him as a mortal enemy.
“Sister, although we opposed Brother’s plan, we all understand that only in this way can Duan Yu, this cancer, be completely removed,” Shen Jinchuan said. “Brother said he wouldn’t let anything happen to himself, and he told you to stay home and wait for him. Once this matter is settled, he will take you and Pearl home.”
go home.
Lu Zhenyu stood there, frozen.
Yes, it was she who told him that day that she wanted to move back to Beijing.
Therefore, he risked his life because of a casual remark she made.
Lu Zhenyu's heart clenched so tightly it could not shrink any further.
"You idiot, you're such an idiot!"
Does he even understand that she wants to go back because of him and her daughter?
If the price of going back is putting her husband in danger, Lu Zhenyu would rather never set foot in that place again for the rest of her life.
Her husband, Shen Jingsi, they had only just gotten together. They hadn't taken their daughter on a world tour yet, hadn't gone to the zoo together. He said he would stay with her for life, be her support, and die behind her, but he hadn't done any of that yet.
even,
He hadn't even heard her say "I love you" aloud.
It's not that she doesn't want to talk about it, it's not that she doesn't love it.
I just want to save it for a special moment, to solemnly and loudly tell him.
That was a pain of despair.
The pain was so intense that Lu Zhenyu couldn't speak or make a sound. Her mouth was agape, the veins on her forehead and neck bulged, and she clutched her heart, kneeling on the ground and screaming hoarsely for a long time.
Then, dragging his dazed body, he stumbled to his feet and resolutely walked toward the tightly closed door.
"Sis, what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to find him."
"We're not sure if Duan Yu hired someone to kill you and Pearl. You'll be in danger if you go out."
"Then I'll die with him."
"So you're not going to care about pearls anymore?"
He suddenly stopped in his tracks as he rushed to the door.
Shen Jinchuan repeated, "Sister, are you going to abandon Pearl?"
He walked forward slowly. "Pearl is your and my brother's child. She was born prematurely in June. For four years, I haven't had a good night's sleep. I'm afraid that if I close my eyes, your daughter will be gone."
He said he was sorry to you, and the only thing he could do in this life was to raise our daughter to adulthood, bring her to your side healthy and happy.
"When he went to Switzerland to see you, he actually struggled for a long time and hesitated repeatedly about whether to go or not, because he was afraid that his appearance would disturb you."
"That day in Kuala Lumpur too, he wasn't actually avoiding you. He was looking forward to that date more than anyone else because in his original plan, he was going to confess to you and then tell you about Pearl."
“But he was so nervous that he had a panic attack and didn’t want anyone to find out, especially you, so he hid at my place.”
Shen Jinchuan walked step by step to Lu Zhenyu, who was frozen in place, and slowly turned around with her, then gently took her hand.
"Sis, I'm not saying all this to make you sad or guilty. I just want you to understand that I really love you."
Everyone knows that Shen Jingsi loves Lu Zhenyu. When love reaches its extreme, "I'd give you my life" is not just empty talk.
"As long as my sister is alive, he will not allow anything to happen to him."
Shen Jinchuan slowly raised his hand and supported Lu Zhenyu, whose hands were tightly clenched against her aching chest and whose face was already covered in tears.
"Sis, give brother a little more trust. Come with us and wait for him here. He'll come back and take you home, okay?"
Lu Zhenyu stared at the person with her bloodshot eyes for a long time before slowly closing them and nodding.
"Okay, I believe him."
