Up to You - C201
The footsteps gradually grew further and further away. Lin Shupei had rested for a while but still lacked the strength to stand up. She crawled over to the cabinet from the ground and struggled to lift her hand to open it.
She took a folded knife from her pocket and untied the rope that had tied my wrist.
“You’re bleeding non-stop. I’ll take you to the hospital.”
“I don’t need you to meddle in my business. I won’t die.”
Hearing her say that, I also regretted being soft-hearted to her. She was the one who kidnapped Jing Yu and even tied me up in a cupboard.
I got up and was about to leave when I heard her calling to me from behind.
“Lu Weian, you can’t leave!”
I stopped and turned to look at her with disdain.
“What? Do you think you have the ability to stop me from leaving?”
“Don’t you want to know why your good sister is so afraid of Mu Huainan? Don’t you want to know who set the fire that killed your family? Lu Weian, if you leave today, you won’t have a chance to know about these things your entire life! ”
My heart sank. So many sorrowful memories of the past were being torn apart by this woman and placed on the surface one by one. It was as painful as rubbing salt on a lacerated wound.
“Lin Shupei, do you know who set up the fire in my house?”
She smiled coldly.
“What I have said is not worth believing. I want you to see it with your own eyes, so you have no choice but to believe it.”
I felt as if I had fallen into a trap she had set for me, and I followed her without knowing it.
“What do you want me to do?”
She was probably in excruciating pain, and her face was ashen as she covered the wound on her leg with her hand and inhaled deeply.
“If you don’t have a medicine box, I’ll help you bandage your wound. Otherwise, you’ll bleed to death before you complete your plan.”
She still had that indifferent look on her face.
“I don’t want anything here, not a medicine chest.”
I clearly wanted to save her, but this guy’s attitude really made me unhappy. However, she can’t die yet, so I could only swallow my anger and temporarily save her.
I got up and looked around the room. There was wine, smoke, and a fire engine.
I knew there would be, a man covered in wounds, without a medicine box to tell her to give up treatment, but there had to be alcohol and cigarettes, because they had to paralyze her nerves and inexhaustible pain.
I pulled off a clean sheet and the tool came to her side.
“Don’t move.”
I lit a cigarette for her to take.
“If you can’t stand the pain, just take a sip.”
She threw up without hesitation.
“Do you think I’ve suffered so much? Which one is lighter than this?”
She didn’t care about the pain.
I didn’t insist. I poured the wine onto the sheets, tore open her pants, wiped the blood off her legs, and wrapped her in a sheet soaked in alcohol.
From start to finish, my hands were dyed red with blood. It was shocking, but she didn’t even utter a single sound.
I couldn’t help but admire her a little.
She looked at my nervous expression and patted me on the shoulder. “Have you heard of three blades and six holes?” she asked.
I shook my head as I wiped the blood from my hands.
“Never heard of it.”
“This is the earliest family rule with An Fang. Whoever makes a mistake will be punished by the family rule.” She rolled up her left sleeve. There were six scars arranged on top of the burned arm.
Faced with this, I couldn’t ask anything.
She shook her arm easily, then lowered her sleeve again.
“Three slashes, that is three slashes from top to bottom, that went through the entire arm. This way, there would be a total of six holes. “This is the legendary ‘Three Blades, Six Caves’.”
I feel pain just listening to it, and. She had actually suffered.
“Are you twenty-seven now?”
I nodded.
She chuckled. “When I was under the family rules, I was two years younger than you.”
The wind blew in from the window and became colder.
I composed myself and asked her, “What did you do wrong to deserve this kind of torture?”
“Because I’ve spoiled Mu Huainan’s child.”
I was surprised. “What’s wrong with getting pregnant? Why should they be punished? ”
“Because when I entered He Fang, I was a man. If it wasn’t for the fact that I was pregnant, I wouldn’t have been discovered.”
I couldn’t help but mutter, “Little sister.”
When she heard this, she was slightly stunned.
“It seems that he has told you quite a bit about my story.”
“Did he tell you why I was exposed?”
I shook my head.
“With my child, I no longer have the heart to fight for the position of adopted son of the Owner anymore. I only want to follow Mu Huainan and fly far away.”
As she spoke, she laughed, laughing at herself. She was both foolish and foolish.
“How could I believe him? How could I be stupid enough to believe that the man who made such a thing like eating and drinking would really bring me away?”
Tears fell from the corners of her eyes and fell to the ground, but she didn’t seem to notice.
She said, “Talking about love with that kind of person is basically talking about compassion with perverts.”
I didn’t say anything, didn’t interrupt her, and she went on.
“I know he loves you, but I didn’t expect him to really love you enough to allow you to give birth to his children and marry him … All the way here … I have been paying attention to you all quietly, and I can’t believe that person is really Mu Huainan. ”
“He clearly has always only loved himself. Whatever he wants, no matter what means he uses, he will obtain it. He has never cared about the life and death of others.”
“It never occurred to me that he would love someone.”
She gave a cold snort. “But now, he has finally revealed his true form. A wolf wearing a mask is still a wolf.”
She said, “You don’t have to worry, I don’t want to hurt you from the start. If I wanted to do that, I would have already captured Mu Jiu. I just want you to know who he really is. I just want to see what he looks like when the woman he loves looks at him with the same fear as I do. ”
“It is now his turn to be reincarnated.”
I looked at Lin Shupei. Because of the twisted expression on my face when I mentioned revenge, I couldn’t help but remind her.
“Knowing the truth is my right, but I won’t allow you to hurt Mu Huainan, or anyone else who is by my side.”
She looked at me and pointed at her leg.
“Do you think I hurt him today?”
I understood instantly.
“That’s why you used me to hurt him.”
The entire world knows that Mr. Mou of An Fang have a lifeline, protecting in pain, from a young age until now. If I were to stand at Lin Shupei’s side, I would also start from Mr. Mou’s lifeline.
That was the only way to defeat him.
Lin Shupei, who had my suspicions, was actually very calm.
“That’s right. That’s what I thought. Only by using you can I achieve my goal. As long as I can see that he is in so much pain that he wants to die, it will be worth it.”
“What a madman.” I sneered, “Why do you think that I will help you harm my own husband?”
Her cloudy eyes fell on me and studied me.
“I’m the one helping you. I’m helping you see the truth, not you helping me.”
I didn’t even know how to refute those words.
All I can say is, “I really want to see it, but if you want it, I won’t let you succeed.”
“Is that so?” She laughed wantonly. “Then we’ll see.”
I asked her, “What do you plan to do next? If Huai Nan comes home and finds out that I was taken away by you, he will quickly come back to find you.”
I don’t want Lin Shupei to be killed by Mu Huainan before I can see the truth clearly.
“Don’t worry, if I did not come prepared, how would I dare to fight against the mighty Mr. Mou alone?”
She raised her hand and pointed at the cabinet beside her.
“There’s a set of clothes inside. Take it and put it on.”
I walked over doubtfully. It was a set of sportswear from the beginning to the end. It was wide and broad, with no body to be seen in it.
The sweatsuit had a vertical collar and was zipped up so that you couldn’t even see the neck.
There was a mask and hat and dark glasses in the cupboard, meaning to arm me.
“Why are you making me dress like this?”
At some point she had sat down on the bed, and her eyes fell on me.
Once you wear this, you won’t be Lu Weian anymore, you’ll be a hoodlum who takes care of me. ” She also stressed a sentence: “A lame hooligan.”
“You made me dress like this just to not let Mu Huainan recognize me?”
“That’s right.”
I asked angrily.
“You broke my leg, also to make me a cripple so that Mu Huainan wouldn’t be able to connect to me at all?”
She smiled.
“You even saw through it. It truly is worthy of being raised by Mu Huainan.”
I gritted my teeth and cursed, “So f * cking vicious.”
“Compared to your Mr. Mou, I’m just a drop in the ocean.”
I held my breath. For the time being, I didn’t want to fall out with her.
“What happens after that? What do we do after that?”
“Go and wait for him at the gate of He Fang City Square. When you see that it’s my car, he’ll naturally get on.”
“And then.”
She turned over in her bed and thought lazily for a while. She seemed to think of something interesting and looked at me with interest. “Let’s go to your house this time, shall we?”
“My home?”
I’m not sure which family she’s talking about.
“Lu Family Mansion.”
She said these four words in a faint voice, then suddenly sat up in bed and waved me over.
I walked over vigilantly. She lifted my chin and pressed it to my ear, letting my voice carry over, a voice as hollow as hell.
“Let Mu Huainan personally tell you why Lu Jingyu wanted to draw that painting, why she’s so afraid of him, and why. All these years, he hasn’t mentioned anything about helping you find out the real culprit behind it.”
“Lu Weian, I believe these questions have troubled you for many years.”
It was as if I had been struck by a bolt from the blue and I could not stand still.
I looked up at her hesitantly, and my cloudy eyes suddenly lit up with confidence and the joy of seeing something good.
She couldn’t help but be happy.
My heart sank uncontrollably.
I think I have the same name for the answer in my mind as she did.
I wanted to know, and I was afraid to know.
Living was truly the hardest thing in this world. It had been difficult for him to live for half a life, but it was all for the sake of his reunion.
However, after reuniting, there were so many hidden pains.
Mu Huainan, how should I trust you?
