Chapter 71 His Heartache, His Doting
After Lu Youyou thought for a moment, she took Li Yeqing to an old teahouse in Jinsha City that had long been famous.
"It's noon now. Shall we eat hot pot and watch a drama at the same time?"
Li Yeqing did not reject Lu Youyou's proposal.
The two of them chose a private room facing the stage. After entering the room, Lu Youyou skillfully ordered side dishes for the hot pot.
"Double-boiled hotpot, extra spicy, please serve the food quickly."
Li Yeqing stared at the stage in a trance. He asked, "Are we here to eat hot pot? Or to watch a play?"
"It's both."
Lu Youyou took out a wet tissue from her small bag and wiped the table in front of her. She said, "When I first came in, I took a look at the playlist. Today's performance is 'A Dream of Red Mansions'."
On the stage, the performers were fully engaged and their singing was extremely penetrating.
Even someone like Li Yeqing, who was not very familiar with drama, was listening with great interest.
In the private room, the white soup in the double-boiled pot began to boil.
The mist is rising.
Li Yeqing's eyes fell on Lu Youyou's still youthful and charming face, and his heart trembled slightly.
"Lu Youyou, is today the anniversary of your parents' death?"
Lu Youyou, who was seasoning a dish, heard this and answered calmly, "Yes, four years ago today, my parents were in a car accident. They died despite failed rescue efforts."
Li Yeqing whispered, "I don't know."
Lu Youyou suddenly laughed and said casually, "You know you can't change anything."
In fact, Lu Youyou was also very clear at the time, what would it matter even if Li Yeqing was with her?
Perhaps, Li Yeqing, who had not yet succeeded in his business at that time, would feel that they were temporarily unable to provide their children with a good living environment and thus persuade her to have an abortion.
Everything is the best arrangement of fate.
"Then you spent these four years..." Li Yeqing's heart was filled with pain.
He didn't know how Lu Youyou, who grew up like a princess, survived these extremely difficult four years.
Lu Youyou pressed the call bell and the waiter came soon.
"Four ounces of plum wine."
"Okay, please wait."
After the plum wine was served, Lu Youyou poured a glass for Li Yeqing and another for herself.
"At first, I felt like the sky was falling. I didn't know anything back then, and my uncle tricked me into signing some agreements without a clue." Lu Youyou took a sip of plum wine and continued, "The bank was collecting debts, and I had nowhere else to go, so I went to my uncle's house. That day, I realized how ruthless and ambitious my uncle and his family were."
"I don't have any evidence to prove that my uncle was directly related to my parents' car accident, but I know very well that my uncle was the biggest beneficiary after my parents' accident."
"I think my uncle didn't kill me outright because he was afraid things would get out of hand if they got out of hand. But I was really scared at the time. I was afraid that one day my uncle might kill me too."
"So, with Feng Tang's help, I left here and started live streaming on the Internet. Maybe I was a little bit paranoid at the time. I thought, if I was doing live streaming and something happened to me one day, maybe my fans would call the police on my behalf."
Lu Youyou poured herself another glass of wine. She had never expected that those netizens whom she had never met had always supported her and accompanied her, helping her to walk out of the endless darkness little by little.
"Li Yeqing, don't look at me like that."
Li Yeqing's eyes were filled with heartache and doting, and even a hint of self-blame and guilt.
