SFS 241. parting
241. parting
Leaving the brightly lit backyard, Lu Ningxiang quickly walked towards her small courtyard. When she turned around the Crescent Gate, she saw a familiar figure waiting for her.
"Third brother."
Lu Ningxiang stopped and shouted in a low voice.
"Fourth sister, you, why are you bothering?"
Lu Yichen stood blankly, the moonlight fell on his shoulders, as if he had added a few strands of white hair.
He murmured: "Can't you wait any longer, wait until... I, I can..."
"Fourth brother, I understand what you mean, but I don't have time, and I don't want to wait any longer."
Lu Ningxiang smiled, shook her head and said, "I can't stay in this house any longer. Every time I stay longer, I can't help but think of my mother-killing enemy who lives safely on the other side of this house."
"This kind of pain has tortured me for more than ten years, fourth brother, do you know?"
"But if you leave the protection of the Lu family, the Qin family will definitely come to trouble you because of what happened tonight."
Lu Yichen's face was ugly, he gritted his teeth and hesitated for a moment, and said: "If it's really not possible, I will immediately arrange for you to go abroad to hide. I have many friends abroad."
"No need... Fourth brother, those friends of yours are not very easy to get along with."
Lu Ningxiang just smiled, rejected Lu Yichen's kindness, and then said flatly: "Fourth brother, listen to my advice, don't touch those black business again."
"Among the younger generation of the Lu family, the old man values you the most, so why bother to make more trouble?"
"..."
Lu Yichen's complexion changed slightly, he managed to force a smile, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Ningxiang, don't be joking, I'm just a small cadre in Qingshui Yamen, what kind of black business can I do..."
"Here is the original surveillance footage from a nearby camera when the eldest brother fell into the water, and there are also information about several witnesses... But don't worry, I have made those people forget this memory."
Lu Ningxiang didn't explain much, and with a flick of her wrist, like a magic trick, a small black USB flash drive suddenly appeared in Su Bai's palm.
"I've also stored all the information about the rich people in Shazhou who have interacted with you, Fourth Brother, and there shouldn't be anything missing."
Seeing Lu Yichen standing stiffly on the spot, his eyes becoming suspicious, Lu Ningxiang felt a pain in her heart, and smiled wryly as she handed over the USB drive.
"Fourth brother, don't be afraid, I took these things out, not to threaten you."
She stuffed the USB flash drive into Lu Yichen's hands with her own hands, and said with concern: "I will not be at Lu's house in the future, so you must be careful in everything."
"... Fourth sister, you believe me, everything I do is for the Lu family, for you!"
Lu Yichen came back to his senses, and immediately grasped Lu Ningxiang's little hand tightly with his backhand. He said bitterly: "As long as I have enough confidence to become the head of the Lu family, I will avenge you and protect you for the rest of my life!"
"Fourth brother, thank you. I have always regarded you as the only family member in this world since I was a child. In this family, only you have really cared about me."
Lu Ningxiang slowly withdrew her hand, turned and walked towards her small courtyard: "Be nice to sister-in-law Yuanyuan, she really loves you."
"... Ningxiang!"
Watching that graceful figure go away, Lu Yichen felt flustered and apprehensive for no reason, as if this farewell was about to leave forever.
He didn't blame Lu Ningxiang for secretly investigating him behind his back, and even felt quite relieved that Lu Ningxiang took the initiative to hand over the information collected over the years.
Due to his identity, Lu Yichen knew that his relationship with Lu Ningxiang could only be limited to "cousins".
But he always imagined that one day when he was strong enough, he would be able to break through this layer of confinement.
It's a pity that time waits for no one. Seeing that Lu Ningxiang was about to disappear at the end of his vision, Lu Yichen finally couldn't help but shouted.
After the words were finished, the figure stopped for a while, but did not turn back after all, Lu Yichen fell down on the stone railing in despair, and clacked the USB flash drive in his palm.
……
……
The small teppanyaki shop is on the right track, and Chen Youcai's life has also become fulfilling.
Except for Luo Xiaocui, who is always accompanied by annoying flies, everything looks so beautiful.
"Hey, don't tell me you are talented, since I took the tonic you gave me, my waist is no longer sore, my legs are no longer painful, and I feel windy when I walk!"
On Saturday afternoon, Liang Wenkai arrived as scheduled and brought a bunch of food. After staying at Chen Youcai's house for a night, he would exercise with him for a whole day.
The two packed up early in the morning and headed straight to Daqingshan outside the village.
After going up and down five or six times, Liang Wenkai finally couldn't bear it anymore and chose to fall down on the lawn by the roadside.
At this moment, he was so tired that he was sweating profusely, his face was flushed, but his whole body was full of energy, not to mention how excited he was.
Thinking about it, if he was half a month ago, he would be too tired to stand up straight just by following Chen Youcai's footsteps to climb Daqingshan Mountain. How can he be so powerful now?
"The medicine is three-point poisonous. You listen to me. Just take one medicine a month. Don't be greedy."
Compared to Liang Wenkai's distressed appearance like a dog in water, Chen Youcai was much cleaner and fresher.
Apart from the slight sweat on his forehead, his face was not red and he was not out of breath. He didn't look like a person who had climbed the mountain for more than three hours in a row.
"You are such a pervert. With your physique, it would be a pity not to serve as a soldier to defend your home and country."
Looking at Chen Youcai's leisurely and composed appearance, and seeing himself as tired as a dead dog... Liang Wenkai felt a little sour in his heart, and sighed, "When will I be able to exercise like you?"
"Well... next life."
Chen Youcai pretended to ponder, and then he said something that made Liang Wenkai gnash his teeth and clenched his fists to hit someone.
"To be honest, what do you think of my uncle?"
Liang Wenkai took out a grass stalk and put it in his mouth, and asked casually.
"He's upright, and he's a good person at first glance."
What Chen Youcai said was blushing, but he glanced at the surrounding grass several times from the corner of his eyes, and then the corners of his mouth twitched a few times.
He didn't dare to tell Liang Wenkai that this kind of roadside lawn was most likely "irrigated" by passing cattle and sheep...
"Then you don't seem to be willing to work with my uncle? With this big backer, isn't your boy walking sideways in the village?"
Liang Wenkai seemed to notice the strangeness in Chen Youcai's eyes, looked around, and then asked wonderingly.
"I don't want to get too close to the people in the yamen. Brother Liang, you also know that sometimes, status is a kind of constraint, but for certain things, you have to violate this constraint."
Chen Youcai spoke cryptically, but after all Liang Wenkai had experienced the Jinling kidnapping incident with him, he understood immediately and nodded silently.
"You're right. There's nothing wrong with being a free and ordinary person."
He spat out the grass stalk he had chewed twice, stood up clapping his hands, and said with a smile, "My uncle has a good impression of you. He said that when he is free, he will come to Chenjia Village to relax."
"Then I'll definitely welcome you with my hands up."
Chen Youcai also stood up, and the two of them walked down the mountain path slowly, and when they arrived in the village, it was lunch time in the small restaurant.
The lobby was full of tourists who came to eat. Chen Youcai led Liang Wenkai to the second floor. The two of them struggled for a long time, both of them were hungry.
Two light footsteps came up the stairs, and finally stopped a few steps in front of him. Chen Youcai swept his head up in his busy schedule, and almost choked to death with his mouth full of food.
I saw a graceful fashion girl looking over quietly, with a smile on her face, it was Lu Ningxiang who hadn't seen her for a long time.
