Lu Wanying suddenly hugged Lu Rong tightly and said sadly, "Dad, do you know how scared I was when I heard you were in trouble? I was afraid that I would be the only one left in this world. Dad, can you promise me that you won't do such dangerous work in the future? You hope that I can go to college and have a bright future, but all I hope is that you are healthy and happy."
Lu Rong suddenly hugged her tightly and said in a moving voice, "Wanying, don't be afraid. Dad will definitely see you grow up, get married and have children."
Lu Wanying lowered her head, tears streaming down her face. During this period, she was very tired both physically and mentally.
She calmed down, but the scene of An Xinghe and Chu Xinrou meeting kept lingering in her mind.
Her lips moved slightly, and she couldn't help but ask tentatively, "Dad, why has your thinking become so rigid now? You should know that going to college is not the only way out. I, your daughter, am so smart that I can do well in anything."
When Lu Rong heard her say this, he immediately became a little excited, "Wanying, didn't you say a while ago that you wanted to prepare well for the college entrance examination?"
"Dad, don't worry. Don't worry, as long as I can hold on, I will definitely hold on. But... if one day I really... can't hold on, can you support my decision?" She said it with difficulty, her eyelashes trembling violently.
In fact, she didn't want to do that, but the current situation made her worried and anxious, fearing that the day would happen sooner or later.
She had to give her father a heads-up in advance.
Lu Rong looked at her and finally compromised. "Wanying, Dad has always supported you in taking the college entrance exam because he doesn't want you to have such a hard life in the future. He wants you to live a more comfortable life. But...if you have really thought it through, no matter what decision you make, Dad will support you. I just hope you won't regret it."
Lu Wanying looked at her father in shock with moist eyes, "Dad, you..."
"I, your father, am not an old naughty boy who is stubborn and unyielding. As the saying goes, if you choose a road, you must finish it even if you have to crawl on your knees." Lu Rong said cheerfully.
"Dad, you are not old, you are obviously still very young." Lu Wanying said with a sob, a smile on her lips.
My cold heart is gradually warming up.
"What's there to cry about? Stop crying." Lu Rong wiped the tears from her face.
Lu Wanying sniffed suddenly, wiped her eyes, and said firmly, "I won't cry anymore, I won't cry anymore."
Lu Rong looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and finally did not ask about her and Xinghe.
Young people always have things they don't want to reveal.
If Wanying wanted to say it, she would have said it long ago.
Lu Wanying returned to her room and was about to rest when a QQ message came in.
"This seems to be exactly the same gift I gave you."
It’s a photo sent by An Yuexi.
She recognized it at a glance.
It's the Barbie doll of Gemini.
Chu Xinrou's favorite one.
"Yeah." She answered perfunctorily.
My head is very swollen.
"But this one looks a little different. The diamond embellishments on it appear to be real diamonds. How did my brother get this? Did you give it to him?"
An Yuexi couldn't hold back her doubts and asked out loud.
She hadn't paid much attention at first, but was instantly attracted by this sentence.
"Your brother's stuff?"
After she sent it, she quickly enlarged the picture and took a look. Even through the photo, she could tell that it was a real diamond, and this one was inexplicably familiar.
There was also a textbook with An Xinghe's name written on it next to it.
This is undoubtedly his thing.
"Yes, he put it in a box. It seems to have been there for almost ten years. Could it be that you and my brother knew each other when we were kids?"
She denied it without a doubt, "Impossible."
She had no impression at all, but was impressed by this Barbie doll.
"Could it be that little girl gave it to my brother? My brother kept it for ten years."
Lu Wanying felt inexplicably flustered after seeing this, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and hurriedly took out her childhood photos from the cabinet.
She loved taking pictures when she was a child, and often took pictures with Chu Xinrou.
But ever since the Chu family did such a disgusting thing, she deleted all the photos of herself and Chu Xinrou in anger.
There are so many photos that it is inevitable that one or two will slip through the net.
She flipped through the photos one by one, her hands almost hurt and her eyes were sore, and finally she found a photo.
The pupils suddenly contracted violently and the heart beat violently.
She picked up the photo with almost trembling hands and looked at the Barbie doll in the photo in disbelief.
Little Chu Xinrou, wearing a white brand-name dress, looked like a lady from a noble family. She was holding a Barbie doll in her hand.
She quickly compared this photo with the one An Yuexi sent her. They were almost identical, including the hair color, clothes, and even the diamond embellishments.
The photo in her hand suddenly fell to the ground, and her face looked shocked.
She suddenly remembered something and quickly sent a message to An Yuexi, "Can you help me see if there is a brand logo under the Barbie doll, and when it was made?"
An Yuexi didn't understand what she was doing, so she sneaked into her brother's room, took it out of the cabinet, and finally found the words at the bottom of the Barbie doll.
An English name, with the year added, 2010.
She patted her.
The moment Lu Wanying saw it, it was like a bolt from the blue, and a look of despair appeared on her face.
That’s right, it must be Chu Xinrou’s thing.
Chu Xinrou's favorite things are designed by this designer.
In 2010, nine years ago, Chu Xinrou was only seven years old.
It turns out that An Xinghe has known Chu Xinrou for a long time, and even collected Chu Xinrou's favorite Barbie doll.
How did they know each other? Are they so close?
These doubts swirled in her mind, her head felt swollen and painful. She sat blankly on the edge of the bed, her eyes dazed and her face pale.
She didn't know how long she sat there until she heard crackling sounds in the living room. She seemed to wake up from a dream and hurriedly used paper to wipe away the tears that had flowed down her face.
As soon as she left the living room, she saw Lu Rong cooking. She hurried forward to stop him, "Dad, your injury hasn't healed yet, you can't move around. If you're hungry, let me help you cook."
"I see you're tired of watching over me these past few days, so I want you to have a good rest."
Lu Wanying subconsciously looked at the time on the clock and was stunned.
It turned out to be six o'clock.
She was in a daze for more than two hours without even realizing it.
A trace of self-blame suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"Dad, I've rested enough. Let me do it. You go sit on the sofa and watch TV for a while. I'll be ready soon."
She wanted to stir-fry some dishes, but the food was either burnt, too salty, or too sweet. The kitchen was in a state of chaos and clatter.
