Chapter 196: Confession
That was the secret that Meng Chuyuan had always kept in her heart and didn't want to tell. She must have felt very uncomfortable when she said it in this way tonight.
Lu Qingye only knew that Meng Chuyuan was an orphan, but he didn't know that she had such a tragic life experience.
Just now, he was looking at Meng Chuyuan's lonely and desolate back, listening to her slightly choked and weak voice. His initial shock gradually turned his emotions to a calmness with a rare heartache.
Now he stood in front of Meng Chuyuan without any disgust or avoidance.
Meng Chuyuan raised his head, a smile flickering in his red eyes: "You should be the one who's afraid, right? They're all afraid that I'll get sick, aren't you afraid?"
He frowned and said calmly: "Do you think you are sick?"
"I think so. I'm the daughter of a madman." Meng Chuyuan inadvertently reached out her hand and grabbed Lu Qingye's sleeve. She half-closed her eyes and continued to tell him her memories: "Do you know why I ran away? Because I vaguely remember that when my mother was ill, she was locked up and forced to take injections. So when they started to suspect me, I was afraid that they would do the same to me."
She lived in fear every day and never had a good night's sleep.
"In the past, I had humility engraved in my bones, and I have seen through human nature, but the resentment in my heart will always be greater than forgiveness."
Meng Chuyuan knew from a very young age that the neighbors were prejudiced against their family. No matter how well she did, how well she behaved, how she tried to please others with her kindness, and how she wanted to gain peace of mind with her sincerity, the adults would always tell their children not to get too close to her.
On the surface, the villagers took good care of her and sympathized with her, but in fact, everyone was wary of her. If something happened to her one day, everyone would point the finger at her.
However, Meng Chuyuan had long since reconciled with his past.
She did not bear grudge against those people, nor did she look down on her past self.
Meng Chuyuan's face flushed red, and the traces of tears on her face were clearly visible under the light. She tugged at Lu Qingye's sleeve and whispered, "Don't worry, if that day ever comes, I will definitely not implicate you."
"What nonsense?"
Lu Qingye frowned, looking at her with doubtful eyes, his seriousness tinged with a hint of resolute tenderness: "I snatched your life back from the hands of death. Whether you are sick or not, I will never abandon you like they did."
He and Meng Chuyuan first met on a dark and windy night.
That afternoon, Lu Qingye went to the suburbs to inspect work. On the way back to the city in the evening, he and his assistant saw the scene of a car accident with their own eyes. The perpetrator fled the scene, and the girl who was hit was Meng Chuyuan.
The road was very remote, there were no cameras around, and there were not many vehicles passing by. The driver might have known the condition of the road at the time, so he dared to drive away after hitting someone.
However, all of this was seen by Lu Qingye and his assistant, but when their car drove over and saw it, the car in front was just about to leave.
Realizing that there was a person lying at the intersection ahead and the perpetrator drove away, Assistant Yang subconsciously slowed down the car. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with them and Assistant Yang did not want to get involved, but Lu Qingye stopped him.
Assistant Yang considered various issues and made a rational analysis: "Mr. Lu, we didn't hit the girl. If we get involved, it will be very troublesome. We will also have to cooperate with the police to take a statement... If this gets out, it will have a bad impact on our company."
