MTMIO Chapter 112
by VolareChapter 112: A Swelling in the Heart
The string of lights wrapped around the Christmas tree resembled a net being drawn in, circling from the fullest, widest base, slowly and steadily moving upwards, tightening and narrowing.
When the lights reached the third layer, Lu You said calmly, “I want Lu Huai’an’s psychiatric diagnosis certificate. The original or a copy is fine. Do you have a way to get it for me?”
“…Wait for me a moment.”
A rustling sound came from the phone, like the person on the other end suddenly jolting up from the bed and putting on shoes.
Lu You raised her eyebrows, waiting quietly, listening intently to the sounds from the other end.
The sound of shoe soles dragging on the wooden floor stopped, followed by the sound of a sliding door being opened. After a few steps, the shuffling stopped again, followed by a burst of noise—
The sounds of hangers clashing, a muffled thud of a bag hitting the floor, mixed with zippers being pulled open repeatedly and scattered items being dumped onto the floor.
When Lu You heard the zipper being pulled open for the sixth time, she caught the faint sound of plastic bags and paper rustling through the air.
Finally, the other end fell silent.
“Is it true that if I give you the diagnosis certificate, you’ll give me an apartment?”
Lu You leaned back, straightening her posture, and said with a smile, “That depends on whether I can get things done.”
“I knew it.” The woman asked curiously, “What are you trying to do?”
“I can’t tell you yet.”
“It’s not illegal, is it?”
“No.”
“If you need my help with anything else, feel free to ask. I have two requirements: your dad can’t find me, and I can’t be put in danger.” The woman said, “Your dad is a crazy, stingy, and perverted. He’s haunting me everywhere just for the 800,000 he promised me.”
Lu You looked up, the lights on the Christmas tree reaching the very top, “Once things are done, you’ll never have to worry about him finding you again, and you’ll also have a villa.”
The woman was clearly tempted: “Where’s the villa?”
“A townhouse in Lanwan Garden.”
The woman was silent for a short time, presumably checking the property prices.
“How do I give you the diagnosis certificate?”
“I’ll send you the address.” Lu You sent the address while asking, “By the way, do you have a copy or the original?”
“The original, oh~ It’s really lucky, I even went with him to get it.” The woman’s voice couldn’t hide her excitement, “I’m going to order SF Express to send it to you now, cash on delivery.”
Lu You replied, “Okay.”
About to hang up the phone.
She heard the woman say, “A while ago, I saw he was in a bad mood, so I took him out for barbecue. He got into a fight with someone over a parking space and was beaten half to death. Afterwards, the other party was found to be mentally unstable and only had to pay half the responsibility, which was basically nothing.
He was very angry. He sat on the terrace all night, smoked three packs of cigarettes, and I don’t know what he was thinking. His expression was scary, very gloomy, like he wanted to kill someone, so I didn’t dare sleep and stayed up all night with him.”
Speaking of this, the woman’s tone was full of resentment and lingering fear.
“He tortured me enough after dawn. Your dad is a pervert!” the woman said angrily, “I’m telling you, the suffering I endured with him, 800,000 is too little. If it wasn’t for the money, I wouldn’t be with him.”
Lu You was silent for two seconds, then said softly, “Thank you for your hard work.”
The woman was visibly stunned, and when she spoke again, her voice was slightly choked, “He made a phone call later, I don’t know who he called.”
—”He has a friend whose family runs a private psychiatric hospital.”
Lu You inexplicably thought of Zhang Wenyin’s words.
“Then he dragged me to the hospital. Really, I was so sleepy, and I had to care for him and comfort him.” The woman complained discontentedly, “That’s when he said I was considerate and gentle, and promised to give me 800,000 and transfer my sister to a deaf school with better educational resources. Ha, and then he forgot about it. Now he’s haunting me everywhere for that little bit of money.”
The woman paused, apparently putting the documents into a bag, “Later, I asked him how the diagnosis went, and he put the report on my lap and told me to put it away for him. I was really scared when I saw the diagnosis report. You can’t be with a poor person or a mentally ill person.
He was quite happy, smiling creepily, and told me it was for a rainy day.
What rainy day could there be.”
Lu You’s eyelashes trembled slightly.
A knock on the door sounded on the phone.
The woman’s voice suddenly rose several degrees, asking nervously, “Who is it?!”
Lu You, thinking of her saying that Lu Huai’an was haunting her, reassured her, “Maybe the delivery guy is here.”
Judging by the sounds, the woman had quickly walked to the door to see who it was through the peephole or surveillance camera.
“Hello, SF Express is here to pick up a package.”
The woman breathed a sigh of relief, “It really is.”
Hearing the woman successfully send the package, close the door, and lock it, Lu You suggested ending the call. Before hanging up, she asked the other party’s name.
“Zhang Wen Yin.”
Lu You was taken aback: “How do you write that?”
“Bow captain Zhang, Coconut is Next to the character Wang plus culture’s arts, because of because’s sound, Zhang Wen Yin.”
This was the only one of all the girlfriends Lu Huai’an had dated who didn’t resemble Zhang Wenyin in either appearance or personality.
Unexpectedly, the pronunciation of the name was exactly the same.
An indescribable feeling surged up, pressing on the root of her tongue. Lu You swallowed twice to suppress the urge to vomit.
After hanging up the phone, Lu You modified the note on the phone number, adding only the surname.
The phone battery was running low.
With only 2% left, it suddenly vibrated.
Zhang Wenyin sent a string of express tracking numbers.
Lu You stared at the phone screen, which had turned dark after shutting down, recalling the content that Zhang Wenyin had shared with her incessantly on the phone.
Until she heard footsteps descending the stairs.
She looked up, following the sound.
Yue Yunxi, with her long, voluminous curly hair loose, wearing a light blue, almost white bathrobe, came gracefully down the stairs. She walked closer step by step and sat on the armrest of the sofa. “Why are you sitting here?”
She smelled of oranges after a bath, and her hair had the scent of being heated by a hairdryer.
Like orange peels drying in the sun, fresh and warm.
Lu You leaned back against the chair. “I just called Lu Huai’an’s previous girlfriend.”
Yue Yunxi raised her hand and placed it on her shoulder, her fingers picking up a strand of hair that hung in front of her chest. “What did you talk about?”
Lu You leaned lazily into Yue Yunxi’s arms.
In the rhythm of her fingers winding around her chest hair, she told her everything that was said on the phone, word for word.
“You say, one or two of them have mental illnesses. Could I also be carrying this gene?”
“Don’t think nonsense.” Yue Yunxi gently bumped her head, as if to dispel her wild thoughts. “Auntie’s was caused by acquired environmental factors, as for… hard to say.”
Lu You understood the implication.
True or false, it was hard to say.
“Maybe, on the night he was smoking on the terrace, he was already planning how to take revenge on Uncle Tao.” Lu You looked up, staring at the shining moon on the Christmas tree, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the black screen of her phone.
“I always thought I wasn’t like him, not as cold and heartless as him, not as scheming as him, and certainly not as despicable and shameless as him… Now I realize that genes are really engraved in your bones.”
Yue Yunxi’s hand winding her long hair suddenly stopped.
She understood this point more deeply than anyone else.
Undeniable, indisputable.
“So, I’m not a good person either. I can be very, very bad.”
Lu You left Yue Yunxi’s arms, pulled back a little distance, turned to face her, raised her eyes slightly, and her soft gaze gently broke through the daze in her eyes. She asked with a smile, “Will you love all of me?”
Yue Yunxi’s eyes rippled, and then, grabbing her hand, she reached in through the neckline of her bathrobe.
What responded to her was a cool lip igniting a warming kiss, and beneath the warm, smooth skin in the palm of her hand—
A heartbeat more powerful than any verbal answer.
ˉ
The next day, Chen Feifei sent a message, telling her that the front desk of Lost Deer had signed for her express delivery and locked it in the safe in the storage room.
At the same time, Li Can shared a screenshot of the comments section in the Big Dipper group.
Netizens posted comments about the “brick to the head incident”: [1. The one who got hit on the head is the father of the collapsed female star [Tao] [Shh] 2. The one who hit him is the father of the former girlfriend [Lu] (who is now with [Tao]’s sister [Moon]) of the collapsed female star [Tao] [Shh]]
1L: [Linked melons]
2L: [Speaking of which, a few days ago, I saw a video of Little Deer and Moon Sister playing together on the streets of Vienna. It sounds great! And it’s very pleasing to the eye!]
4L: [I don’t understand, but if [Lu]’s dad has a mental illness, will [Lu] have it too?]
5L: [Many mental illnesses are caused by acquired environmental factors, which does not affect parents and children. He’s just trying to get away with it.]
Landlord: [He didn’t use mental illness to get away with it. He has a history of mental illness, and he was just diagnosed not long ago, but he didn’t agree to apply for a judicial appraisal, because the lawyer said that this appraisal would take half a year to queue up, and the procedure would be terminated and he would be detained all the time. Yesterday, he was forgiven and released on bail.]
7L: [He can be forgiven?]
Landlord: [[Covering face and crying] It’s not serious, he woke up a long time ago, it was just to teach him a lesson on purpose. Yesterday, the two of them hugged and forgave each other. [Tao]’s dad also blamed himself for pushing his old brother too hard, let [Lu]’s dad go to his company, and good brothers will make a comeback together [crying and laughing].]
9L: [These two are true love.]
After that, Jian Yanzhi forwarded the video of her and Yue Yunxi playing together in the group, causing a unified ridicule. Lu You didn’t feel like watching it, and she didn’t feel like cooperating with the jokes.
Lu You discussed with Yue Yunxi and decided to go back to Nanquan to deal with everything before coming back.
This meant that they couldn’t spend New Year’s Eve together.
But she really couldn’t wait any longer.
Tao Mingyuan’s forgiveness of Lu Huai’an was completely unexpected, like releasing an unpredictable bomb, which was a hidden danger to everyone.
This led to her plan having to be brought forward.
She originally wanted to spend New Year’s Day here before going back.
“Stay at Mom’s place, don’t go back to the little Western-style building yet. Contact those two bodyguards later and hire them to watch over things there.”
Yue Yunxi didn’t raise any objections to her decision. She even thoughtfully brought her small suitcase and helped her pack.
“If you don’t have enough clothes, go to my place and get some.”
She “Mm”-ed and followed Yue Yunxi gloomily, wherever the latter went, she followed.
“Steam eye mask, earplugs, humidifier, small U-shaped pillow… Oh yeah, and an inflatable lumbar support. Take the lumbar support too.” Yue Yunxi murmured to herself, “Where did I put it? Did you just put it in the gym?”
“I didn’t. If you can’t find it, just don’t take it.” Lu You followed Yue Yunxi step by step to the gym upstairs.
“Don’t you always say you have a sore back?” Yue Yunxi opened the door and flipped the switch on the wall.
The wall lamp in front of the mirror suddenly lit up, and she looked around.
Sure enough, the lumbar support was hanging on the railing, and the inflatable, heated lumbar pad was on the rocking chair in front of the window. A pink box was on the edge of the rocking chair, containing the finger cots that Elena had given her.
Only one had been used.
After that day, Lu You shouted about a sore back and was taken to the gym by Yue Yunxi to stretch. She joked, “I thought you were going to bring me here to do it.”
When Yue Yunxi really brought the finger cots over, she immediately backed down and exclaimed, “My back is going to break!!”
Lu You also caught sight of the pink box and immediately thought of the crazy Christmas Eve the other day. She muttered, “It doesn’t hurt now, it was especially sore yesterday… It’s all your fault!”
Playing so hard, who wouldn’t have a sore back!
Yue Yunxi suddenly stopped and turned around.
Lu You stopped immediately and took two steps back, preparing to go around behind Yue Yunxi and continue to follow her.
Yue Yunxi immediately reached out and grabbed her arm, came closer, and smiled with a hint of cunning: “Then I’ll wait for you to come back and take revenge on me.”
A feeling of reluctance surged up immediately.
Lu You’s eyes flickered slightly. She hugged her waist, buried her face in her shoulder, and said softly, “I’ll definitely get back before—”
“It doesn’t matter if you can’t make it.” Yue Yunxi interrupted her and said softly, “Just do what you have to do, and put your safety first. Don’t feel sorry that you can’t spend New Year’s Eve with me. We’ll spend Chinese New Year together. It doesn’t matter if you can’t make it to the concert. I’ll have many more concerts in the future, and you can come and be my special guest anytime. And you see, I still have to practice the piano, and I can’t just leave this and go with you.”
She said the words so considerately.
But Lu You knew that she interrupted her because she was afraid of having hope and then being disappointed again.
A kind of emotion surged out from the chest, indistinguishable in its components, only knowing that it was warm and filling her whole body.
Lu You rubbed her head very lightly in Yue Yunxi’s arms: “You’re making me feel even more guilty and reluctant to leave.”
Yue Yunxi leaned into her ear, “Then… make it up to me? Let’s do something gentle and happy first?”
The breath fell on her ear, like a stream of fine water, winding its way into her ear, making her heart itch.
Lu You instinctively leaned back to avoid it, but Yue Yunxi held her waist and leaned down to gently bite her earlobe with her teeth.
The electric-like tingling sensation shot straight to her scalp, shaking away all the depression and worries.
It also dispelled her coyness and hesitation.
Lu You turned from passive to active, hooked Yue Yunxi’s neck, and while leaning in for a deep kiss, she impatiently took off the complicated restraints on her body.
She was hooked out of too many feelings, eagerly wanting to relieve them.
She frantically wanted to be filled with Yue Yunxi’s tenderness and sweetness on the eve of their departure.
But the other party took out the thing in the pink box and slowly put it on her finger.
Then, she turned around, propped herself up on the railing in front of the mirror, lowered her waist, and turned her head to look at her.
A head of curly hair, like swaying seaweed, flung from the front to her fair back. The mirror showed a well-shaped softness, so white it was dazzling.
Upward, it met her blurry, misty eyes, filled with an invitation.
She was like a water weed turned demon, specially here to seduce and capture souls.
Lu You’s breath went crazy.
Completely ignoring herself.
The wall lamp in front of the mirror leaked a clear yellow light, dim, like moonlight through a gauze curtain, vaguely scattered on the porcelain-white back of the person in front of her.
Like a narrow-waisted, wide-hipped jade spring bottle, carrying two slender branches, pouring out a pool of snow water, holding a spring.
Finally, Yue Yunxi put one leg on the railing, in the same stretching posture as usual after training, swallowed it whole to the root of her finger, her whole body trembling involuntarily.
Suddenly raising her head, through the mirror, she imprinted a decadent and beautiful appearance in her mind.
And, the sweaty fingertips, separated by a layer of fragile cloth, touched another kind of wetness, but cruelly dropped a sentence in her ear.
“Want it? I won’t give it to you this time.”
You have to leave with unbearable feelings.
You have to come back soon.
And this feeling of unbearable, when Lu You returned to Nanquan, took the suitcase with a broken buckle from the conveyor belt, and opened it to check the contents, and saw two small deer dolls hugging a bottle of Maison Margiela’s By the Fireplace perfume, reached its peak.
The first day she arrived in Nanquan.
She was already starting to miss Yue Yunxi like crazy.
ˉ
Zhang Wenyin came to pick her up at the airport and bought her buckle straps at a jewelry store to temporarily secure the suitcase.
Lu You took out the perfume separately and put it in the pocket of her down jacket.
On the way to the parking lot, Zhang Wenyin asked her, “Why did you suddenly decide to come back? Is there something wrong with those materials?”
“There’s nothing wrong, I just came back to take care of some other things.” Lu You sent a message to Yue Yunxi to report that she was safe, and then hooked Zhang Wenyin’s arm and changed the subject, “Can you take me to Lost Deer first? I have something to pick up.”
“Okay.” Zhang Wenyin took out her phone to pull up the navigation and looked at the road conditions. “It will pass by the little Western-style building. Is there anything to pick up there?”
Probably thinking of Lu Huai’an, Zhang Wenyin paused and suddenly changed her mind, “Or should we not stop there? We’ll see what’s missing later, and Mom will just buy you new ones.”
Lu You’s tone was coquettish, with a hint of comfort: “Okay, then I’ll rudely live off you.”
“You can live off me for the rest of your life.” Zhang Wenyin suddenly remembered and took a card from her bag and stuffed it into her pocket.
“What is it?”
“The money you paid for the little Western-style building. That house is what I want to give you, and the money is saved in this card for you.”
Lu You moved her lips.
“Take it, don’t be polite with Mom.” Zhang Wenyin spoke before her, changing the subject and asking, “When is yours being held?”
“Let me see.” Lu You looked at the email on her phone and reported the date, “You can’t forget to come.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t forget. The day before yesterday, I took Ah Shao to Manman’s place and bought a few ready-made dresses.” Zhang Wenyin said, “You can help us take a look at them in the evening and see which one is most suitable to wear. By the way, Ah Shao also made a set of dresses for Jiaojiao. Manman helped make a basic fishtail style, and she added her own design on top of that, making it look especially beautiful. I’m just always worried that the size won’t fit, fearing that you’ve gained weight from eating too much in Vienna, or lost weight from eating too little. Go back and take a look to see if the measurements need to be adjusted.”
Lu You’s face turned hot. She touched the tip of her nose and said shyly, “It’s only been ten days or so, how much can it change? It’s almost right, she said, how much can her measurements change? She said, I don’t know.”
Zhang Wenyin scraped her nose without giving her any face and laughed, “I can see that you know very well.”
Lu You’s face instantly turned hot to the point of melting.
The mother and daughter were laughing and talking all the way until the car passed the section of the little Western-style building.
Seeing a black SUV parked at the gate of the little Western-style building, the smile on Zhang Wenyin’s lips instantly froze. She clenched the steering wheel and slightly accelerated the car, driving straight away.
Although it was just a quick glance, Lu You still saw the license plate number clearly.
“Is that his car?” Zhang Wenyin asked.
Lu You turned her head and “Mm”-ed. It was Lu Huai’an’s car.
Zhang Wenyin didn’t say anything, just sighed sadly. The sigh seemed to contain the sentence: When will this be over?
Lu You turned her head to look out the car window.
The sycamore branches and leaves were sparse, and the whitewashed trunks looked even more desolate. But the weather was very good, and the sun fell down without any obstruction, flowing to the ground and shining far away.
Far enough to have no end.
Before long, the car arrived at the entrance of Lost Deer. Lu You directed Zhang Wenyin to drive to the back door, entered the storage room, and took the documents sent by Zhang Wenyin from the safe.
Because Zhang Wenyin was watching, Lu You didn’t take out the report inside, but put the file bag directly into her bag.
Before leaving, Chen Feifei pulled her and winked at her.
Lu You bought two boxes of wine at the internal price. Under the pretext of moving the wine, she found two strong boys, sent Zhang Wenyin to the car, and then followed Chen Feifei to the corner.
While Zhang Wenyin was not around, she took out the documents, checked them, and asked Chen Feifei, “What’s wrong?”
Chen Feifei said softly, “Don’t come here for the next few days. Your dad has been squatting here several times. He also keeps asking me how our store’s turnover is. I saw the melon posted by Zhizhi and the others in the group. I feel like he should be out of money now, so he’s coveting your money.”
Lu You looked out worriedly.
Two boys moved the wine to the trunk, and Zhang Wenyin had already gotten into the driver’s seat.
“I told him you went abroad. I don’t know which country you went to, and I don’t know when you’ll be back. He hasn’t come again, but it’s not guaranteed that he won’t suddenly come over one day.”
Lu You withdrew her gaze and said, “If he comes again later, tell him—these few days, wait for her to come back, I’ll tell her you came to find her and let her contact you.”
Chen Feifei widened her eyes and said in surprise, “Are you crazy?”
“How can I solve a madman if I’m not crazy.” Lu You put the file bag back in her bag and prepared to leave.
“Wait,” Chen Feifei took out her phone from her pocket, “I’ll ask Jinyinhua to arrange two more bodyguards for you.”
“Jinyinhua?”
“Lu Rendong, oh, that’s Yun Zhu.”
Lu You said amusingly, “No need, I still have the contact information of the previous bodyguards. I can ask them to recommend two more, don’t worry.”
“Call me anytime if something happens, and I’ll bring these little cubs in the store to help you.” Chen Feifei sent her to the door.
Lu You smiled and said okay, waved her hand, and got into the car.
Watching the white car parked by the side of the road drive away, Chen Feifei stretched and walked to the front bar, occasionally asking the passing employees, “Is the business sign hung up? Are the aromatherapy all changed? Who put this old menu here, we need the Christmas menu…”
The wind chime at the front door was struck by the wind.
Chen Feifei raised her eyes and looked over. The voice suddenly stopped.
The door was half open, occupied by the fat body of the person pushing the door, peeking in and out, meeting her gaze, and immediately squeezed in.
The person walked to her with a slight limp, showing a smile that he thought was polite and friendly, but was actually creepy, “Lu You… when will she be back? Did she tell you?”
Chen Feifei rolled her throat, recalling what Lu You had just told her, and mechanically, word for word, replied: “These few days, wait for her to come back, I’ll tell her you came to find her and let her contact you.”
Lu Huai’an’s eyes lit up and he said with a smile, “Thank you.”
–
On the second day in Nanquan, Lu You found Chen Feifei to cover her up, avoided Zhang Wenyin, and went out alone. After preparing what she needed to prepare, she went to the cemetery.
The tombstone was cleaned very cleanly by the cemetery staff, and new flowers were placed.
It was the order that Lu You had placed with the cemetery Person in charge on the day of the burial, covering the flowers for a quarter, and the staff would place them in front of the tombstone every day.
The flower bouquet was printed with the name of the cemetery.
Therefore, it was clear at a glance—since Grandma was buried, Lu Huai’an had never come to see the old woman.
Lu You’s sight moved from the bouquet to the tombstone.
In the palm-sized photo, the familiar face had no color.
But in her memory, this face was always dyed with warm tones, next to Grandpa’s grave.
She still remembered that when she came to sweep the tomb during the Qingming Festival, the kind-looking old lady said to her: “When I’m gone, I’ll be buried here. It’s convenient for you to sweep the tomb. Send flowers to me first, and pinch two for the old man.”
She elbowed the old lady disapprovingly: “Don’t say such unlucky things, you have to live as long as the mountains, don’t you want to watch me get old? At least you have to watch your son get old, he doesn’t treat me well, aren’t you afraid that I won’t take care of him in his old age.”
“If I live to that age, you have to take care of me wholeheartedly, why take care of him in his old age, send him to a nursing home.”
She said with a smile: “Then I won’t go to see him, and he will be bullied and cry for his mother.”
The old lady tapped her nose and scolded her: “Little rascal.”
She took the old lady’s arm and coquettishly said: “I’m not a little rascal, I’m your good granddaughter.”
The old lady laughed so hard that she leaned back and forth, and echoed: “Okay~ You’re Grandma’s good granddaughter.”
Lu You squatted down, put down the flowers in her hand, and looked at the grandmother in the photo at eye level, her eyes curved with tears.
“This is what we agreed on before, although it’s not a proper nursing home, it’s about the same. You can’t be angry at your good granddaughter for that unfilial son.”
ˉ
With a secret and sensitive to beds, Lu You did not sleep well that night, and had many dreams intermittently.
In the dream, Zhang Wenyin was wearing a hospital gown and sitting at the end of the bed, surrounded by noisy sounds and screams, but she was quiet, quietly looking up at a small window, and the window was too small to let in the sun.
Lu Huai’an’s second wife looked a bit like Zhang Wenyin and had a similar personality, patient and considerate.
The ending was also a bit similar, in Lu Huai’an’s daily comparison of her with Zhang Wenyin, she was wasted and unrecognizable in the marriage.
Grandma was calling her from a very, very far distance, meaninglessly.
She couldn’t tell what this voice meant.
Whether it was more distressed for her, or wanted to persuade her not to do that more.
At the end of the dream, Yue Yunxi hugged her into her arms and said softly to her: “Just do what you want to do.”
When she opened her eyes, it was not yet dawn, and the room was dark.
Lu You got out of bed, put on her coat, and put on two small deer dolls, and tiptoed to the rooftop.
The rooftop was designed as a sun room, with Zhong Shuyun’s collection-level antique piano, all kinds of flowers and plants planted by Zhang Wenyin, Zhong Mi’s swing, and her favorite rocking chair.
At four in the morning, there was no sunlight in the sun room, only the street lights on both sides of the road in the distance, like lantern fish swimming in the deep sea.
And she was nestled in the rocking chair, rocking gently, there was really a feeling of floating in the sea.
One small deer doll was hugged in her arms, and one was placed on her lap. She touched the deer ears of the doll on her lap and called Lu Huai’an.
She couldn’t sleep well, and Lu Huai’an shouldn’t want to sleep well either.
Lu Huai’an was disturbed, and an impatient sigh sounded deeply in the phone.
He was heavy with getting up, Lu You knew that when she was a child, she asked for living expenses,hold back ed A whole night, she finally mustered the courage to contact him before going to school, and she would always be scolded bloody.
Now, Lu Huai’an, who had something to ask for, was as bad as ever, but he didn’t dare to say as unbearable as before.
Just asked her a question: “Did you block me?”
“Yes.” Lu You touched her nose and said, “Grandma blocked it during her First seven.”
There was no sound at the end.
Lu You chuckled and asked: “Feifei said you were looking for me, what’s the matter?”
“The last time I gave you a sum of money to buy a house, how much money is left?”
“Not a penny left.” Lu You touched her nose and said.
“I gave you so much! You spent it all?”
“Compared to the money you spent on those little girlfriends, it’s just a drop in the bucket.”
Lu Huai’an was choked, muttering to himself: “Does that broken Foreign buildings cost so much money? Sell it as soon as possible!”
“That can’t be sold. If you sell it, where will you look back on the evil you’ve done, accumulate more guilt, and remember to go to Memorial Memorial Grandma.”
Lu Huai’an instantly became a Dumb.
After a while, Lu Huai’an changed the question: “Did you sell the house in Blue Bay?”
Lu You sneered: “Are you short of money? Where’s your A golden house hides a charm’s house?”
“Just answer when I ask you, why are there so many nonsense.” Lu Huai’an said impatiently.
Lu You’s eyes sank and she hung up the phone directly.
She counted silently in her heart for ten seconds, and the phone vibrated in her palm.
As soon as she connected, the person on the other side softened his tone: “Dad’s attitude was not very good just now. Now there is a problem with Dad’s company, and I urgently need money. Did you sell the house in Blue Bay?”
Lu You’s fingertips were turning on the tip of her nose, and she replied in a flat voice: “Sold it, I came back to sign the contract.”
“When to sign? Where to sign?Blue Bay?” Lu Huai’an asked.
“Nine o’clock, over there in Northern Foothill Mountain.”
Lu Huai’an didn’t speak for a while, probably going to search the specific location on the navigation. After a while, he said, complaining: “Why run to that Birds don’t shit.”
“The buyer’s family is receiving treatment in a mental hospital over there, saying that they are now almost the same as normal people and want to take them out to raise them at home. But I’m not at ease.”
“What are you not at ease with? It doesn’t matter to you if the house is sold.”
Lu You turned her eyes, and her hand never left her nose, “Aunt Yue also wants to sell the house, afraid that selling it to the other party will affect Aunt Yue’s side, I want to see how people are before deciding whether to sell or not.”
Lu Huai’an didn’t doubt him, the focus was on other things, “Yueshao? What house is she selling?”
“Tao The room given by my uncle.”
Lu Huai’an sneered, his voice mixed with resentment and jealousy: “He’s really Free and easy ah, I see how long he can still be Free and easy.”
Then he said: “I’ll go with you.”
Lu You lowered her eyelashes, “Then let’s meet there.”
At the end of the call, she tapped the ground with her toes, shaking the rocking chair with a kick, and could vaguely see the sky raised on the opposite rooftop.
The small light bulb was not lit, only the blurred outline outlined the picture in her memory.
—— “I do.”
She thought of the warm yellow atmosphere lamp, Yue Yunxi said these words, her face was peaceful and solemn, but her facial features were dyed softly, and she was unusually Emotion.
She thought of the dress she saw at Yueshao that night, a silk-like light and flowing white fishtail Garnish skirt, a little Perfect, sewn with countless tassel and Detailed drill, like a winding Stream,Moonlight.
I want to see what Yue Yunxi looks like wearing it.
I want to make her Heart swelling.
The phone vibrated twice, Lu You raised it and looked at it, clicked on the two WeChat message reminders hanging on the screen.
A photo of a Violin doll sitting obediently on her pillow.
