Chapter 277 Lu Yanzhi, what will you use to make amends?
"Want to know?" Lin Zhihuan's voice came from behind the noisy sounds of the venue.
"Yes," came Lu Yanzhi's voice.
But Lin Zhihuan did not answer immediately.
The events of that day, her regret, her lingering fear—everything came crashing down on her like a tidal wave.
That day, Shi Nian was truly on the verge of death.
"Lin Zhihuan?" Lu Yanzhi's urging voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Heh..." Lin Zhihuan laughed mockingly, "Getting impatient?"
Lu Yanzhi didn't know how to answer.
He turned the car around and headed towards the concert venue.
Over the years, so many things have happened between him and Shi Nian.
Lin Zhihuan knew quite a bit about all of this.
Lin Zhihuan disliked him and felt that he treated Shi Nian badly, something he had always been aware of.
And Lin Yuchen.
Lu Yanzhi gripped the handle of the safe tightly.
"My brother is back." Suddenly, Lin Zhihuan's voice came from the other end of the phone. "He told me that he went to see you."
"Yes." Lu Yanzhi did not deny it.
“He told me that he gave you a box,” Lin Zhihuan continued.
Lu Yanzhi looked at the box in his hand, nodded, and then, remembering that Lin Zhihuan couldn't see, said, "I've tried all the dates related to the child, but I haven't opened it yet."
child?
Lin Zhihuan knew exactly which day it was in an instant.
She smiled again.
"It must have been agonizing," Lin Zhihuan said deliberately, "trying the password over and over again, recalling the beginning over and over again."
Lin Zhihuan's voice was filled with anger:
"But have you ever thought about how agonizing it was for Niannian to investigate when she found out you were being intimate with Han Wei outside, and how she repeatedly confirmed that you had fallen in love with someone else?"
Lin Zhihuan thought to himself, word by word, sentence by sentence:
Sometimes I don't understand.
"Lu Yanzhi, you keep saying that the person you love is Nian Nian, but you are so cruel to her."
"When she gave up on you, you tried everything to keep her by your side."
"Lu Yanzhi, do you love him or not?"
Lin Zhihuan's voice came through, each word clear and carrying a power that made his heart tremble.
Lu Yanzhi closed his eyes, suppressing the surging emotions within him.
How could he not love her?
He was just... too arrogant.
He thought he could control everything, and that she would always wait for him in the same place.
Just like all these years, every time he came home, she would always leave a light on for him.
Perhaps it's because we've been together for too long, so...
He went astray.
He wanted to turn back, but she had already left.
Now, all he asks is for her to give him another chance.
He begged her to... look back at him again.
A surge of emotions choked him, making it almost impossible for him to speak.
"Tell me," he finally said after a long silence, "Let me... make up for all of this."
"Make amends?" Lin Zhi laughed. "What will you use to make amends?"
“Use all of my resources,” Lu Yanzhi said.
"All of them?" Lin Zhihuan's voice was mocking and sarcastic. "You won't even return the Shi family's things to Niannian, and you still say they're yours?"
She said, "Lu Yanzhi, you deserve everything that happened today!"
"Let's try the password." Lin Zhihuan looked to the other side of the venue.
"Everything you want to know is in that box."
She said, "Once you open that box, everything will be clear."
"Lin..." Lu Yanzhi wanted to say something more.
“If you don’t understand what my brother is saying,” Lin Zhihuan said, “you can think about it more broadly, about what you’ve done, not just because of the child.”
After saying that, Lin Zhihuan hung up the phone.
Lin Zhihuan looked at the noisy crowd over there.
Lu Yanzhi was unaware of Shi Nian's second miscarriage. Her words made Lu Yanzhi try things one by one, day by day, and he would always remember the time he pushed Shi Nian down the stairs.
"If you can't even think of this," Lin Zhihuan chuckled sarcastically, murmuring softly, "then, Lu Yanzhi, you truly have no heart."
She gripped her phone tightly: "I'm waiting, Lu Yanzhi, I'm waiting for the day you open the box!"
On the other side.
Lu Yanzhi, in the car, heard the dial tone of the phone call ending.
He didn't understand what Lin Zhihuan meant by those words.
A strange sense of dread crept into his heart. Looking at the box in front of him, he sensed that it held the secrets of the devil.
If he opens this box, he might see what he fears most.
The car continued to speed along.
Lu Yanzhi stared at the box without blinking, as if missing even a single frame would turn it into a demon that would open its mouth and swallow him whole.
Until my eyes feel sore and tears naturally well up.
The box was veiled in tears, making it blurry and indistinct.
When the image of that large patch of crimson blood appeared before my eyes again...
As a tear fell, he reached out again to try the password.
He wants to open it!
Even if this secret will ruin him, he needs to know!
...
Concert venue.
Shi Nian has already returned to the backstage area.
When I came in, the online posts had already gone viral.
She saw it too, of course.
Her phone had been ringing off the hook, so she simply stopped answering them all.
Fortunately, Jian Jinran had set up a program for her that could block other things, so she was still relatively peaceful.
But when she looked up, she saw Huo Yanmo beside her, his eyes red.
He only saw some records written in the report and that Lin Zhihuan, Lin Yuchen, and Fu Jinyan had told him these things, but he had never seen them with his own eyes.
Even just a few photos are enough to terrify and frighten him.
He held her hand tightly, feeling a lingering fear in his heart.
Looking into Huo Yanmo's dark eyes, Shi Nian understood his thoughts.
She patted his hand and said, "It's okay, I've recovered long ago."
Actually, she's not good.
She will never forget what happened that day.
Even now, thinking about it still makes my heart ache.
Her body has recovered, but she will never be completely healed.
"I'm going to get ready." Shi Nian didn't dare to think about it anymore, afraid she wouldn't be able to handle it, so she went to find something to do. "I need to touch up my makeup."
Shi Nian went back to the makeup artist.
Huo Yanmo stood there, watching her thin back, his fists clenched tightly.
...
After Han Wei finished singing "Micro Love," she looked at the donations on the screen with satisfaction.
But then, the assistant's expression changed drastically.
People in the live stream were also discussing a certain matter.
"What's wrong?" Han Wei asked her assistant.
The assistant pointed to his phone, and Han Wei leaned over and saw the post.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Who is this person?
What else do you know?
However, since the live broadcast was still ongoing, Han Wei didn't dare to speak loudly, but instead gestured to her assistant with her eyes to check.
The assistant nodded.
Han Wei, on the other hand, continued her live broadcast with an air of nonchalance.
Seeing Han Wei's caregiver from a short distance away made him even more panicked.
