Cheng Yuxiang suddenly collapsed. She grabbed Lu Zhixing's hand tightly and said in a sharp voice, "Rest, how can you feel like resting now? Your dad is in prison. You have been asking for so many days, but there is still no result? What does it mean? What mistake did he make? Why is he still locked up when others have returned?!"
Lu Zhixing took a deep breath and looked directly at Cheng Yuxiang: "Don't you know what Dad has done?"
He originally thought that his father just liked to pursue power, but at least he would not do anything illegal or criminal. However, none of the news he asked his friends to bring back was optimistic! No one deliberately targeted Lu Jianshe, he was the one who did something wrong and was caught!
Although the charges are not too serious, he will be dismissed from his position for sure. Now we have to wait and see how much evidence the prosecutor has, and then we can go to court to sentence him!
Cheng Yuxiang took a heavy step back, then rushed out as if suddenly awakened: "It must be Shen Subai who is taking revenge on us, it must be him! Go find Xie Yunshu, go find Xie Yunshu, go kneel down and beg for mercy! Your father is already so old, how can he live after he goes in, how can he live..."
Lu Zhixing's eyes were sore, but he still hugged Cheng Yuxiang tightly. His voice was trembling: "Mom, don't go to find Yunshu. This matter has nothing to do with her."
Cheng Yuxiang was so angry at his words that she trembled. She turned around and slapped him hard. Lu Zhixing's handsome face suddenly swelled up. This was the first time she hit her son: "It's all your fault, it's all you! Why did you have to marry Xie Yunshu in the first place? She is a jinx. All this is her fault!"
Lu Zhixing held her tightly: "Mom, if Dad didn't do those things, no one can do anything to him!"
Cheng Yuxiang's lips trembled, and she looked at him in disbelief: "Lu Zhixing, what do you mean by this? You want to say that your father has brought this upon himself, you want to say that he deserves it, right? Do you still have a conscience? He is your father! Even now you are still saying good things about Xie Yunshu..."
Lu Zhixing just felt powerless. He didn't understand why Cheng Yuxiang had such a big prejudice against Yun Shu. Even if it was Shen Subai's revenge, didn't his father do these wrong things first? He was not the only official in Haicheng who was taken for investigation, but weren't all the innocent ones released?
Seeing her son's silence, Cheng Yuxiang became more and more desperate. She never thought that one day she would go to ask Xie Yunshu to be magnanimous and give their Lu family a way out.
But what made her even more desperate was that her son actually tried to stop her from asking for help!
Lu Zhixing slowly loosened his fingers and slammed the door shut. "Mom, calm down at home for a few days. If you feel really bad, stay at Xueting's place for a few days. I'll find a way."
But he knew in his heart that this matter was a foregone conclusion, and with his ability, there was no room for maneuver. He knew that Shen Subai had to be involved in this matter, but Yun Shu definitely didn't know.
That man was cruel and ruthless enough, and his skills were very smart. Now he had to admit that he had no chance of winning against Shen Subai, because Shen Subai did protect Yun Shu well enough, so well that he felt ashamed.
Cheng Yuxiang stared blankly at the night outside, feeling grief-stricken: "How could this happen? How could this happen..."
There are still two years before Old Lu retires! Ever since Zhixing and Xie Yunshu divorced, everything seems to have changed, nothing is the same anymore...
Seeing that she was in a bad mental state, Lu Zhixing could only comfort her and let her rest.
He waited until Cheng Yuxiang fell asleep before he sat down on the sofa tiredly and pinched his brows. Ever since the accident at home, he had been running back and forth between the hospital and the procuratorate, so as not to interfere with his work and to inquire about his father's affairs.
Cheng Yuxiang was still emotionally unstable, and Lu Xueting stayed at home for a few days. He had no way to ask for leave from his unit, so he had to go back to work. He couldn't even find someone who could comfort him.
How many days had he not seen Yunshu? He no longer remembered, he only knew that he missed her madly, but he didn't dare to see her again.
“Yun Shu…”
He was the only one in the silent and lonely living room, with no one responding. The ring that he would never have the chance to give away was like a knife, cutting his heart into pain.
Lu Zhixing just sat there, and suddenly thought of the serious accident that happened in the hospital when he just got married. He was in a bad mood at that time, and just sat on the sofa at home in silence. Xie Yunshu poured him sweet honey water, sat close to him, and made him happy with clumsy jokes.
Sweet words are as bitter as coptis, she is getting better and better, while his career and family are not going well. It was dark outside, his straight back slowly collapsed, and a tear fell silently.
He covered his eyes with one hand and finally couldn't help sobbing. Such a beautiful sincerity was betrayed by him. If it wasn't what he deserved, then what was it...
Because of the exam that day, Xie Yunshu came home earlier. Li Fenlan had not come back yet, but Xie Mingcheng had already arrived home and was squatting at the kitchen door picking vegetables.
"Sister, why did you come back so early yesterday?" Xie Mingcheng stood up. He was barefoot and wearing slippers, and there were several eye-catching bloodstains on his exposed calves.
Xie Yunshu frowned immediately and took a step forward nervously: "How did this happen? Did you have a fight with someone?"
Xie Mingcheng was helpless: "Why did you fight with others for no reason? I was scratched by steel bars while working at the construction site the other day. It's no big deal."
"It's good that you didn't fight." Xie Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the wound on his leg, and felt a little distressed: "If you want to make money, go to the canteen to help fight, and I will pay you. The work on the construction site is not easy."
Xie Mingcheng sat down again, raised his eyebrows and said, "Sister, 놖 is already eighteen years old, don't always treat 놖 as a child."
Xie Yunshu was stunned for a moment. Her brother was sitting here just fine. He didn't hit anyone and didn't delay the college entrance examination. He would have a bright future. All the bad things in the dream seemed to be really far away from her.
Seeing his sister was silent, Xie Mingcheng restrained his smile and said, "Sister?"
Xie Yunshu came back to his senses: "It's okay, go get some water and cook."
Xie Mingcheng pursed his lips and snorted: "Are you unhappy because Shen Subai has been gone for the past few days?"
It has been a week since he finished the college entrance examination. During this time, no one knew what Shen Subai was busy with. He never came once, and Lu Zhixing did not show up. However, Ji Siyuan came over every now and then.
Under the pretext of visiting Nian Peng, who knows who he is visiting? Although he doesn't like Shen Subai very much, in comparison, he still feels that only Shen Subai is qualified to stand beside his sister.
Xie Yunshu was stunned for a moment, and slapped him in anger: "Stop talking nonsense, he is busy with work now, why are you unhappy?"
Xie Mingcheng didn't believe it: "Are you unhappy that he's here?"
"If you're unhappy, it will only delay your studies!" Xie Yunshu deliberately frowned and took out a book from his bag: "Read while cooking, don't waste time!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the door of the courtyard was gently pushed open.
