Qing Shushu's original scream of wanting to die turned into a broken sob and scream under Lu Huaichen's sinister gaze.

She no longer dared to make any sound. She curled up and her shoulders trembled.

Lu Huaichen's gaze reminded her of the people in the institute. They looked at her in the same way, and at the same second, what followed was endless humiliation, verbal abuse, and fighting.

Of course, she didn't know that these were all Lu Huaichen's special care for her.

The words that came out of her mouth were nothing more than, "Help." "Let me go." "Stop hitting me." "I was really wrong."

Tang Muyan raised her eyebrows, "Is it so scary in there?"

"I will have to think twice before provoking Lu Huaichen in the future. If he really sends me to jail one day, I will have to be prepared."

Lu Huaichen: "..."

What was she thinking that he would send her in? Was this woman suffering from paranoia?

Lu Huaichen looked at Qing Shushu with a serious look, "Qing Shushu, you don't want to go back, right?"

When Qing Shushu heard this, hope immediately ignited in her eyes. She nodded frantically and crawled over, "Please, Brother Huaichen, don't let me go back."

Her fingertips were about to touch Lu Huaichen, but Lu Huaichen dodged by leaning forward.

"I have two conditions. I don't know if you can agree to them."

Qing Shushu nodded quickly and said without hesitation: "Tell me, I will agree to whatever you say."

Lu Huaichen moved away, not wanting her to get too close.

"First, don't provoke Tang Muyan again."

Qing Shushu pursed her lips and looked towards Tang Muyan with her empty eyes. The resentment in her eyes turned into hope. She said, "Okay."

The tone was forced to be firm.

Lu Huaichen leaned back, raised his head lazily, and looked directly at Qing Shushu: "Second, find the person who released you. If you succeed, I will rescue you, send you abroad, change your nationality, and let you start a new life. If you fail, you will have to pray for your own good fortune. Either die in their hands or die in the police station. You choose one."

Qing Shushu might have stayed in there for too long, and it took her a long time to think about a sentence before she could digest some of it. Or it might be that she was not smart to begin with, otherwise how could she have ended up in such a situation.

How could she have been so naive to think that Lu Huaichen would fall in love with her if she got rid of Tang Muyan?

She was just a stupid knife that the old lady used easily, easy to control and capable of causing trouble. Just standing there was enough to make Chen Jing unhappy.

Qing Shushu didn't know all this, and of course, Tang Muyan didn't know either. She always thought that the old lady and Qing Shushu were in love with each other, and that it was like a turtle looking at a mung bean.

Perhaps, it's time to let Qing Shushu know the truth.

Lu Huaishen's deep gaze rested on Tang Muyan, who was listening to the opera with great interest. She blinked her eyes with the corners of her eyes raised, watching everything that was happening with satisfaction.

Lu Huaichen smiled and said, "Yan Yan, you like to listen to gossip so much."

Tang Muyan narrowed her eyes, glared at Lu Huaichen, and signaled him, "Don't talk nonsense, Qing Shushu will come to kill me soon."

She wasn't here to listen to gossip, she was here to see the joke.

She is not a good person, she is very stingy, and her favorite thing is to kick someone when they are down.

Qing Shushu was in trouble, so of course she was happy.

Lu Huai snorted and laughed, "I have a piece of gossip here, do you want to hear it?"

Lu Huaichen looked like he was asking for trouble as he was deliberately keeping the secret.

But when his eyes deliberately fell on Qing Shushu, he hesitated for a moment, which was caught by Tang Muyan, "Then I'd be happy to listen."

"I love to kick someone when they are down."

Lu Huaichen had no interest in saying it at first, but he was afraid that Qing Shushu would do something stupid and turn against him. So, he said it now, which made Qing Shushu think more clearly.

If she can't figure it out, the only way left for her is a dead end.

Lu Huaichen's gaze made Qing Shushu panic. She curled up, not daring to look up, and tried her best to avoid colliding with Lu Huaichen's eyes.

"Qing Shushu was originally the daughter of the Qing family, but later the Qing family fell into decline and became a criminal. Qing Shushu's mother left when she was very young. Some said she died, while others said she left the place that made her sad."

"It was because the old lady saw Qing Shushu and took pity on her that she adopted her."

Tang Muyan knew all these things, but when she heard them now, she felt something was wrong.

"How can the old lady have compassion? Isn't this nonsense? How can she be so selfish and self-centered as to care about other people's lives?"

"If that's the case, what was her purpose in adopting Qing Shushu?"

Lu Huaichen glanced at Qing Shushu, "Do you think this is really the case?"

Qing Shushu was stunned for a moment, nodded, then shook her head, looking completely confused.

"Aren't you wondering? If old lady Qing Shushu really had compassion, why did she send you away just now? If you were a healthy person, she would have kept you. But in your current state, you are not only useless to her, but also a time bomb that may explode at any time."

"It's understandable that you think so."

Lu Huaichen helped Qing Shushu analyze.

Tang Muyan understood what he said very well, but before she could think, another voice came from Lu Huaichen's side.

He sighed and frowned, "Don't you think there's something wrong?"

Qing Shushu still shook her head. She couldn't understand such profound words.

But Tang Muyan thought it through more clearly.

Lu Huaichen, "Well, you two have been together for more than ten years. Normal people would have some feelings for each other. Even cats and dogs would have some feelings for each other, not to mention someone like you."

"She clearly saw that the institute couldn't cure you, and would only make your mental state worse. She could have chosen to find a psychiatrist to treat you, just like my mother did with Tang Muyan before, or choose some other path. In short, she would not let you go back there."

"But she chose the most extreme path and sent you back. Qing Shushu, do you think such a person has compassion?"

Lu Huaichen's contrast was clear, and Qing Shushu understood it instantly. She shook her head desperately and said, "She is not, she is not."

Lu Huaichen: "Then why did she adopt you at that time?"

"To find me a child bride?"

"Or do you want to give her a companion in her old age?"

Lu Huaichen asked three questions in a row, and Qing Shushu opened his mouth but couldn't answer a single question.

Lu Huaichen sneered, "I'm looking for a wife, and I can choose any rich girl. Why would I choose someone like you who is not a good match for me?"

Tang Muyan was stunned for a moment, then glared at Lu Huaichen fiercely, "You dog, are you making a sarcastic remark about me?"

But adhering to the idea of ​​listening to gossip, Tang Muyan chose to remain silent, "I'll settle the score with you later, you are not worthy of me?"

Lu Huaichen continued, "Besides, the old lady doesn't like anyone to get close to her. Even if she raised you, the number of times you've been close to her over the years should be very few."

"Qing Shushu, think about what has happened over the years. What do you think is the real purpose of the old lady adopting you?"

This sentence didn't wake up Qing Shushu, but it did wake up Tang Muyan. Her pupils lit up, and a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes, "I know!"

The excited voice filled the entire carriage.
