Lu Chun held his father's hand and comforted him in a low voice: "Dad, it's been so long, you don't have to blame yourself."
"Did Lu Liang come to our house that year?"
"What exactly happened that year?"
Lu Weizhong nodded and said: "That year, the driver Li You got married and gave birth to a son, named Li Liang."
"For the sake of his loyalty to follow me, I also gave him tens of thousands of dollars to buy a house in the city."
"Li You is grateful for my support and is more dedicated to his work."
"That day was your mother's birthday. I brought a new car as a surprise to her."
"Originally, Li You was responsible for driving the car. But because of my high-spirited and youthful nature, I suddenly had a whim and decided to drive myself."
"I sat in the driver's seat, and Li You sat in the back seat."
"Who knew that on my way to pick up your mother and you, I was ambushed by gunmen. There were competitors who wanted to kill me."
"They thought I was in the back row, so they fired wildly at the back. Poor Li You died in my place, and his whole body was beaten to a pulp."
Although more than twenty years had passed, Lu Chun still turned pale with fear when thinking of that bloody scene.
Lu Weizhong smiled bitterly and said: "I escaped by luck. But Li You left his newlywed wife and children behind."
"When I told Li You's wife the news, I didn't know that she actually suffered from postpartum depression."
"The news of Li You's death was the last straw for her. After a sleepless night, at dawn, she climbed to the rooftop alone and jumped to her death."
"How desperate she must have been!"
...
Lu Weizhong's miserable voice seemed to bring everyone back to that night more than 20 years ago.
A woman suffering from postpartum depression could not sleep alone all night after learning that her husband had died tragically.
She wanted to die. But next to her was a swaddling baby.
What kind of psychological struggle did she go through? Finally, just before dawn, she climbed up to the rooftop and jumped off?
Thinking of that kind of scene, Qin Tian and others couldn't help but feel a great sadness.
The room was quiet for a while.
Finally, Zhui Feng broke the silence.
"So, you adopted the child and changed his name to Lu Liang."
Lu Weizhong nodded: "I swore at that time that I would raise that child as my own son."
"For this reason, I also discussed with Chun'er's mother not to have any more children in the future."
"In order to prevent Lu Liang from being troubled when he learns about his life experience when he grows up, I deliberately concealed the news."
"Later, I chose a suitable opportunity and announced it to the public that he was my biological son."
Speaking of this, Lu Weizhong said guiltily: "Chun'er, speaking of it, I am also sorry for your mother because of this matter."
"She is kind-hearted. After learning about my decision, she expressed support. But in her heart, she probably also wants to have a biological son of her own."
"Besides, I don't know if it's because of the blood relationship. Lu Liang has been alienated from her since he was a child."
"She wanted a biological son, but she didn't dare to tell me. It was precisely for this reason that she became depressed for a long time and eventually fell ill and died."
"All this is because of me!"
"It's my fault!"
"I'm sorry for them!"
Thinking of his beloved wife, Lu Weizhong lost control of his emotions. He beat his chest with his hands and burst into tears.
Lu Chun had already burst into tears.
She held Lu Weizhong's hand tightly and murmured: "Stop talking!"
