Chapter 125 You are not worthy of mentioning him, let alone his love
It's late at night.
The car drove smoothly back to Ziyuan.
Lu Tingzhou carried Sang Wan out of the car and carried her all the way home.
"Lu Tingzhou, I want to go to the balcony to see the snow."
Ziyuan is close to the Beishan Scenic Area, without the hustle and bustle of the city center, and the snow scenery is excellent.
Lu Tingzhou took a thick cashmere blanket and wrapped her up like a silkworm. He sat behind her and held her in his arms.
As night falls, the mountains in the distance are covered with snow, and under the cold moonlight, they glow with a holy silver light.
Sang Wan leaned on his warm and solid chest, his steady and strong heartbeat in her ears.
One sound after another.
Safe and secure.
"You can't see such a beautiful snow scene in Shenzhen."
Sang Wan snuggled in his arms, her face filled with happiness and satisfaction.
"If you like it here, let's stay a little longer and go back after the Spring Festival."
Lu Tingzhou held a strand of her hair in his hand, twisting it tightly and then loosening it.
Sang Wan looked at Xue, but his eyes stayed on her face.
"Lu Tingzhou," she asked softly, "how are you going to... arrange things for Kaikai?"
Lu Tingzhou tightened his arms and rested his chin lightly on the top of her head.
"Don't worry, the nanny who will take care of him has been with me for many years and is reliable."
"His grandparents are in good health. With them by his side, Kaikai will not lack love in his childhood."
He has paved all the way for that child.
Sang Wan was silent for a moment, then raised her head and looked at his well-defined profile.
"Then... let's go see Sheng An tomorrow."
Sheng An.
This name, like a needle, gently pierced the hearts of both of them.
Sang Wan still remembers that when she shamelessly pursued Lu Tingzhou, he was as cold as ice to her.
Once it was raining and she was waiting for Lu Tingzhou at the company gate, wanting Lu Tingzhou to send her off and taking the opportunity to build a better relationship with her.
Lu Tingzhou, that thousand-year-old man, has no sympathy for women. Even when it was raining so hard, he still refused to send her off.
It was Sheng An who spoke up for her, "Tingzhou, after all, she's a company employee, and she's still a young girl. It's raining so hard, don't let anything really happen to her."
Sheng An smiled at her as he spoke, his eyes filled with admiration and encouragement.
Later, she met him in the company's tea room. He said that Lu Tingzhou was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, but she could feel that Lu Tingzhou was not annoyed with her, otherwise he would never let her stay in the company.
It was also Sheng An's encouragement that made Sang Wan feel that her thick skin was due to hope.
When Sheng An was mentioned, the temperature in Lu Tingzhou's eyes gradually cooled.
Shen Shen said "OK".
In fact, even if Sang Wan didn't mention it, he should go see Sheng An. After all, Song Xinran had to pay the price.
——
The next morning, the weather was clear.
The snow was gleaming in the sunlight.
The cemetery outside Beijing was shrouded in solemn silence.
The snow covered the tombstone, like a white quilt covering the deceased.
Lu Tingzhou held Sang Wan's hand and walked cautiously into the depths of the cemetery.
From a distance, they saw Sheng An's tombstone.
And the thin figure kneeling in front of the tombstone.
It’s Song Xinran.
She was wearing a black down jacket, her hair was casually scattered, and there was no makeup on her face. She had lost a lot of weight and no longer had any of her former radiance.
Two bodyguards in black suits stood not far behind her, like two door gods, with expressionless faces.
Sang Wan's heart was shocked.
She remembered what Lu Tingzhou had said before, that he wanted Song Xinran to repent in front of Sheng An's tomb.
It turns out to be true.
"She is brought here every morning."
Lu Tingzhou's voice was as cold as the snow under his feet, without a trace of warmth.
"Kneel for an hour, rain or shine."
His eyes were fixed on Song Xinran's back.
Hatred is almost solidified into substance.
"Sheng An loves her so much, but she doesn't even want his life for her future and money."
The man's voice trembled slightly due to extreme anger.
"Back then, the Beijing branch wasn't performing well, and that was the hardest time for me. It was Sheng An who gave up his high-paying job abroad and came back to help me regardless of everything."
"With his ability, he will be a high-paid talent wherever he goes."
"But just because we were classmates and brothers, he bet everything on me."
Lu Tingzhou closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was a scarlet madness in his eyes.
"This love, in Song Xinran's eyes, is so cheap."
"Too cheap... not even worth a million."
Sang Wan held Lu Tingzhou's hand tightly and said, "Not everyone values feelings. People make different choices."
"I didn't force it, but this woman, she..."
Lu Tingzhou hugged Sang Wan, and the two of them made a crunching sound as they walked on the snow.
As if hearing some movement behind him, Song Xinran turned around stiffly.
When she saw clearly that the people coming were Lu Tingzhou and Sang Wan, a pleading light suddenly burst out from her already dull eyes.
These days she has been wanting to see Lu Tingzhou and her son, but was rejected by the bodyguards.
No one spoke to her. Except for someone delivering meals to her three times a day and someone escorting her to Sheng An's tomb while she knelt, she could not see anyone.
Then, she supported herself on the ground with her elbows, crawled on her knees in the snow, and quickly crawled towards Lu Tingzhou and Sang Wan.
He left obvious tracks on the snow, and looked as disheveled as a dog seeing its owner.
"Tingzhou..."
Her voice was hoarse and nasal, and you could tell she had a cold.
She crawled to Lu Tingzhou's feet and reached out to grab his trouser legs, but he kicked her away.
Song Xinran fell to the ground in an instant, then struggled to get up, his face covered with snow and mud.
She cried and begged, raising her pale face.
"Tingzhou, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong..."
"For...for Sheng An's sake, please let me go."
The two words "Sheng'an" seemed to have touched a taboo switch.
The air pressure around Lu Tingzhou suddenly dropped to freezing point.
He looked down at her, his eyes filled with unfathomable contempt and brutality.
His thin lips slowly curled up into a cruel arc.
"Song Xinran."
He spoke each word clearly, his voice as soft as the whisper of lovers, yet so cold that it could freeze a person's bones and blood.
"Are you worthy enough to mention his name?"
Then came a slap, a loud and crisp "pop".
Lu Tingzhou was stunned.
Sang Wan bit her lip and glared at Song Xinran, "Lu Tingzhou doesn't hit women, but I will."
After she finished speaking, she slapped him again.
Blood began to seep from the corners of Song Xinran's mouth, leaving a pale face covered in snow water mixed with blood and hair.
It looked very pitiful at first, but Sang Wan and Lu Tingzhou seemed even more hateful.
Her current pity is not enough to offset her sins.
"Song Xinran, greed ruined you. One million and a chance to go abroad, Sheng An could have given you these if you had waited for two years, but you believed Sun Meixi."
Lu Tingzhou's words completely exposed Song Xinran's last bit of disguise.
She shuddered, as if frozen by the chill in those words.
If she hadn't thought that Lu Tingzhou had no chance of turning things around, how could she have become a knife in Sun Meixi's hand?
"Sheng An is a humble and gentle man who values friendship and loyalty. How could he fall for someone like you? He loves you so much, and to protect you from being wronged, he's been secretly planning the wedding."
Sang Wan clenched her fists tightly, wishing she could slap her twice more.
"Sheng An advanced three years' salary and his parents' pension money to prepare a house for you in Ziyuan. Firstly, it was convenient for us to work, and secondly, you said you liked it there. He originally wanted to give you a surprise, but you killed him."
Lu Tingzhou hadn't planned to tell her before, fearing that she would be sad.
But now he wanted to make her regret it and let her spend the rest of her life in prison with regret.
"Here's the key, but you don't deserve to live there. Sheng An's parents and Kai Kai are both there. You only deserve to stay in prison."
Lu Tingzhou looked down at her condescendingly, his eyes no longer showing any emotion, only indifference as if he were treating a piece of trash.
He raised his foot and kicked her away again without mercy.
The force was so great that she rolled several times in the snow.
"The law will give you a fair judgment for what you have done."
His voice was flat and straightforward, without anger or ups and downs, but it made people more desperate than any rage.
Song Xinran was lying in the snow, and suddenly raised his head. The expression on his pale face was distorted to the extreme.
Sheng An prepared a wedding room?
She had said before that she wanted to buy a house and have a home. He said that if she gave him time, he would definitely let her have a house of her own.
I didn't expect this to be true.
He was really fulfilling his promise step by step, but she didn't believe it.
Extreme despair gives birth to extreme madness.
She stopped looking at Lu Tingzhou and suddenly turned to Sheng An's cold tombstone, screaming like a madman.
"Sheng An, why didn't you tell me? Why did you hide it from me?"
"You think you're great just because you secretly gave me a so-called surprise and I'm happy, right?"
"If you hadn't kept it from me, how could I have been bewitched by Sun Meixi?"
Sang Wan raised her leg and kicked her in the waist, "Be a human being, you are so cruel and short-sighted, yet you blame others."
"Isn't it?" Song Xinran wiped the hair stuck to her face. "He was great and affectionate. You all miss him so much, but who has ever thought about how unwilling I was at that time. My classmates all bought houses when they got married, but I still had to rent a house when I got married."
"He was asked to change jobs, but he would fight to the death to protect his good brother."
Her voice was sharp and piercing, breaking the silence of the cemetery.
"In order to help him, I gave up the high salary that was within my reach and stayed with Lu Tingzhou to guard a company that was about to go bankrupt."
"I've never met anyone as stubborn and stupid as him."
Song Xinran laughed loudly, a little crazy.
The crazy laughter stopped abruptly with the sound of sirens coming from afar.
Two uniformed policemen walked from the end of the path in the cemetery, their steps steady and their goals clear.
Lu Tingzhou seemed to have expected this scene, and there was no surprise on his face.
He just stood there quietly, his tall figure against the pale sky and earth, like an emotionless god of judgment.
Song Xinran's pupils suddenly contracted.
She stared at Lu Tingzhou intently, her eyes instantly filled with fear.
