Chapter 95 Extra 1: Lu Sui’s childhood sweetheart fakes his fate…
On the day Lu Zongxin was executed, the weather was gloomy, with strong winds howling from time to time, blowing in through the gaps in the floor-to-ceiling windows, making sharp wailing sounds similar to crying.
Lu Sui closed the floor-to-ceiling window tightly. The sound of the wind outside the window suddenly became muffled, while the sound of the TV became clear.
"Previously, Lu Zongxin was brought to court on suspicion of hiring a hitman for murder. The Hai City High People's Court conducted an investigation and collected evidence according to law... The charges were confirmed. Simultaneously, the Hai City High People's Court re-indicted Lu Zongxin on charges of embezzlement, bribery, illegal usury, and unfair competition. After review by the court, these charges were confirmed... The amount involved exceeded 7 billion yuan, and he should be severely punished according to law... The original trial ruling for Lu Zongxin's death penalty was upheld, and he was executed this morning. His accomplice, Song Zhengxiong, the former chairman of Haidu Group, was repatriated while on the run. He received a suspended death sentence in the first trial, and the second trial is expected to begin after the new year..."
The news anchor's voice is clear and melodious, and you can hear it clearly even without looking at the subtitles.
Lu Sui sat back in the recliner with a glass of warm water, calmly watching the pictures on TV.
The footage was basically shot outside the court. Lu Zongxin was sitting in a wheelchair, his hair was thinning and graying, and his face was swollen and deformed. He looked completely different from the Lu Zongxin seven years ago who thought he could look down on everyone because he had killed Fu Zhiyao's parents.
Following the host's introduction, the scene freezes at the end of the last trial.
Fu Zhiyao walked out of the court wearing a black suit, his face stiff and cold, his expression solemn. Strong bodyguards flanked him and cleared the way for him. He silently rejected the media's probing interviews. It was not until Fu Zhiyao got into a car that the media reluctantly dispersed.
Lu Sui guessed that Yu Wan must be sitting in that car, otherwise how could someone as arrogant as Fu Zhiyao go around from the back of the car to sit in the passenger seat.
The reason why Yu Wan came to pick up Fu Zhiyao at this time was naturally not because of the so-called work. There were not many things that Yu Wan was willing to do.
She is probably already with Fu Zhiyao.
Strangely, Lu Sui was not surprised.
Putting aside Fu Zhiyao's temper and his personal likes and dislikes, Fu Zhiyao still has his merits, such as his net worth and assets, which can fully satisfy his material needs. His face and figure are also acceptable, which can fascinate many young girls.
There is no contradiction between admitting Fu Zhiyao's merits and disliking him as a person.
Lu Sui could have used his status as Yu Wan's elder, who was two years older than her, to subtly advise her to stay away from Fu Zhiyao, or remind her of the details she needed to pay attention to in a relationship, but thinking about it, it was actually unnecessary.
Yu Wan is a person with her own ideas. Falling in love and who she falls in love with are all her own business. She is so young and has enough time to experience and go through it all.
Lu Sui thought about it, and he still couldn't get rid of the premise that he hated Fu Zhiyao. Fu Zhiyao had a bad temper and was arrogant. He rarely thought about others' perspectives. Yu Wan was good at patience, and she would always be the tolerant one in a relationship. If things continued like this, the relationship would definitely be unbalanced.
Therefore, the house in Jiayuan Community was the confidence he left for Yu Wan.
Being able to have his own home, a place where he wouldn't be kicked out by anyone, wasn't that the wish he and Yu Wan had longed to fulfill when they were little?
After get off work, Yu Wan can hang her heavy bag on the coat rack at the entrance, put on a pair of comfortable and soft slippers, and relieve herself of the fatigue of a day's work.
The island in the open kitchen is large enough for Yu Wan to put the vegetables and meat bought from the nearby supermarket on it. After dinner is ready, Yu Wan may even take a photo as a souvenir.
After eating and drinking, washing the dishes and cleaning the kitchen, Yu Wan could go wash up.
She might hum a song while washing up in the bathroom, and the song she sang would definitely be out of tune. Yu Wan has always been tone-deaf. When she was a child in the orphanage, whenever there was a fundraising chorus performance, Dean Qian would always poke Yu Wan's forehead and scold her.
So when those people came to the orphanage, Dean Qian directly hid Yu Wan and did not allow her to show up.
Lu Suibian did not attend the chorus performance. He hid in a narrow cabinet with Yu Wan. The dim light came in through the gap of the old and deformed wooden cabinet door and fell right into their eyes.
Yu Wan asked him curiously, "Brother Lu Sui, why don't you go sing?"
Lu Sui lied to her: "My throat is uncomfortable."
Yu Wan believed him immediately and looked at him worriedly: "Ah, then we have to go find Mother Qian and ask her to get you some medicine. You'll be fine soon after drinking it, but it's too bitter. If you drink it, you must hold back your tears. I've secretly hidden a candy in my treasure chest. If you finish drinking the medicine, I'll give it to you as a reward."
Lu Sui laughed, "Yu Wan, you are so stupid."
Yu Wan frowned and refuted seriously: "I'm not stupid. People need to take medicine when they are sick!"
Lu Sui picked up the water cup on the table and swallowed all the pills of different shapes in his hand in one breath.
Yu Wan was right. When people are sick, they need to take medicine, so he always takes medicine on time and never forgets.
While lying in the chair waiting for the drug to take effect, Lu Sui suddenly couldn't bear to leave without saying goodbye, and finally picked up the pen to write a letter to Yu Wan.
Yu Wan:
Good luck with your letter.
When writing a letter, I always find it difficult to start writing the first sentence. Maybe I haven’t thought of what to write yet, so I’ll write something you may have forgotten.
The day I left the orphanage, I was worried about you. I was worried that you couldn't grab food from others, that you would be pushed and knocked down by others while playing games, and that you would be beaten and scolded by Dean Qian and locked up in a small dark room. So after I learned to write, I wrote a letter to report Dean Qian.
It may be fate that the letter finally came into the hands of Fu Zhiyao's mother. She was in charge of the charity foundation at the time. In less than half a month, she found out the charges against Dean Qian and replaced him with the current mother Lin.
Mother Lin has a strong sense of responsibility and works seriously. Is your life happier now?
I think there should be.
When you chat with Mother Lin, you always smile brightly. Even the group of shy children become extra talkative when they see you. They love to gather around you and look at you curiously.
Mother Lin told me privately that you have changed a lot. When you were a child, you were quiet and didn't like to talk, but now you tend to be a bit talkative.
But I think nothing has changed. You are still the same as when you were a child, just as smart and clever, trying your best to be optimistic and not bothering yourself with trivial matters.
It is not a good thing to dwell on the past, so the memories end here. There is no need to be sad about my choice. I never think that death is such a terrible thing because I chose death on my own initiative.
Don't worry about me, wish me freedom.
Lu Sui closed the pen cap, folded the letter, and lay back in his chair. Holding in his palm was a brown plush bear.
That was a gift Yu Wan received after a fundraising event.
Yu Wan likes it very much. She takes it with her wherever she goes, whether eating, sleeping or walking.
When Dean Qian hit her calves with a teaching stick, Yu Wan held the teddy bear in her arms until Dean Qian said he wanted to throw away the teddy bear, and then Yu Wan ran away holding the teddy bear.
Hiding in the closet with him, Yu Wan stuffed the teddy bear into his arms, held his hand and comforted him: "It's okay, Brother Lu Sui, we will grow up soon. When we grow up, we will be stronger and can defeat the bad guys and leave here. When the time comes, I will definitely buy a big house for us to live in together. We will eat lots of delicious food every day and will never go hungry. We will be happy every day."
The tender child's voice still echoed in his ears. He believed what Yu Wan said and held her hand, trying to draw warmth from the place where their palms touched.
But they were too young at the time and did not understand the heaviness of fate, the impermanence of fate, and the irresistible fate called fate.
Naively and self-righteously promise the future.
With a click.
A soft sound.
It is the sound of dreams shattering.
Lu Sui slowly closed his eyes, his vision like a blurry camera lens, returning to the day when he was seven years old and was adopted by Lu Zongxin.
It rained heavily that day, and the splashing raindrops soaked a large area of the cement floor under the corridor, making the gray grayer and the black darker. The tall locust tree in the yard swayed in the wind and rain, and its leaves flapped up and down, making a lot of noise. The swing that the two of them often sat on broke at some point, one end was pulled by a thick rope, and the other end was dragged on the mud, leaving marks of varying depths.
He saw Xiao Yuwan walking towards him with a stuffed bear. Her eyes were red and she called him softly, "Brother Lu Sui."
He saw Xiao Lu Sui trying hard to hold back his tears and pretending to be aloof, "What do you want me to do?"
Xiao Yuwan held his hand, tears falling like raindrops, hitting the back of his hand hotly: "...Brother Lu Sui, I will miss you, you must be happy, when I grow up, I will come to find you."
fraud.
fraud.
fraud.
I said I would come to find him, but I can't remember him at all. I said I would miss him, but he is the only one who remembers him.
Lu Sui's eyelids became heavier and heavier. Before the world fell into complete darkness, he found that his body had shrunk and turned into seven-year-old Lu Sui.
Small, thin arms and a big, solid car door.
Without a moment's hesitation, he suddenly turned around and ran towards the little girl at the door. His steps became faster and lighter, as if he was being lifted up by the clouds of the whole world, ready to take him to her side.
Lu Sui called out her name with all his might: "Yu Wan! I won't leave!"
I won't leave...
