After the car got on the expressway, the journey became smoother and we soon arrived at the airport.
After more than ten hours of flying, we finally landed in a foreign country.
Lu Yuzheng came to pick up the plane in person. Although he had tidied himself up and looked very energetic, when Lu Xining saw him, she was so distressed that she almost cried on the spot.
Because Lu Yuzheng was much thinner than he looked in the video, and his cheeks were sunken. Although he was smiling to himself, there was an unbreakable melancholy in his eyes.
Lu Xining held him for a long time and refused to let go. Lu Yuzheng was also afraid that he would not be able to hold back, so he had to pretend to be relaxed and remind him softly: "Sister, Brother Yu is still watching."
Only then did Lu Xining let go of him.
"It doesn't matter, I want a hug like this too, but unfortunately no one came to pick me up." Gu Yuzhi teased.
Naturally, Lu Xining did not take his words seriously, but Lu Yuzheng took the initiative to hug him, and then the three of them walked out of the airport talking and laughing.
Gu Yuzhi first sent them to Lu Yuzheng's residence. The house was not big, but it was enough for two people.
The location is in the urban area, making it much more convenient for traveling and daily shopping than where Jin Shaoheng lived.
After Gu Yuzhi left, Lu Yuzheng couldn't wait to take Lu Xining to her room, opened the door, and asked, "Do you like it?"
Lu Xining looked around. The layout was similar to the house they lived in before. Through the many small objects inside, it could be seen that it had been carefully decorated.
"I like it." She nodded with satisfaction.
Lu Yuzheng was naturally happy after hearing this answer, but when he saw Lu Xining's obviously bulging belly, he still had some doubts.
I want to ask if she had a fight with Jin Shaoheng?
Because when she left, it seemed as if she wouldn't come back soon. How long had it been? He followed Gu Yuzhi back.
But seeing her tired look as she sat leaning against the bedside, she swallowed her words.
"You need to rest for a while. I'll prepare dinner and call you." Lu Yuzheng said.
Lu Xining indeed felt very tired, so he responded: "Okay."
She lay on the bed for a while without falling asleep, but she smelled the aroma of the food, so she got up and walked out, just as Lu Yuzheng brought the last soup to the table.
"Sister, sit down." Lu Yuzheng greeted.
Lu Xining looked at the four dishes and one soup on the table. Although the dishes were the simplest ones, they were already very impressive to him.
She put a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs into Lu Yuzheng's bowl and said, "Eat more."
Looking at his thin body, I really suspected that he hadn't eaten well during the time he was separated from me.
"You should also eat more." Lu Yuzheng returned the favor.
The two siblings looked at each other and smiled, finished the meal happily, then put away the dishes and cleaned the kitchen together.
After dinner, I watched TV in the living room for a while, mainly chatting, and it was very late before I knew it.
Seeing Lu Xining start to yawn, Lu Yuzheng rushed her back to her room to sleep.
After all, she didn't sleep well last night, and the long journey was very tiring for a pregnant woman, so there was no problem of jet lag, and she fell into a deep sleep without realizing it.
In the middle of the night, Lu Xining was suddenly woken up by Peng Di's voice.
She sat up from the bed and was sure it was her brother's room, so she quickly walked over.
Opening the door, I unexpectedly found that the bed in the bedroom was empty, but there were some faint sounds coming from the bathroom.
She walked to the door and saw Lu Yuzheng lying on the toilet vomiting. He didn't leave in a hurry after vomiting. His forehead was sweating and his body was still shaking slightly.
"Yuzheng?" Lu Xining stepped forward nervously.
He stiffened for a moment and turned to look at Lu Xining who was walking over. He obviously didn't want her to see him in this scene, but he couldn't hide his ugly expression even if he tried to hide it.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable eating?" Lu Xining asked with concern.
"It's okay." Lu Yuzheng denied.
Lu Xining looked at him, seemed to understand something, and quickly poured a glass of water over.
Lu Yuzheng rinsed his mouth and his face seemed to calm down a little.
Lu Xining helped him up.
Lu Yuzheng lay back on the bed and said to her: "Sister, I'm fine. Go to bed quickly."
"Go to sleep, I'll watch you here." Lu Xining said.
Lu Yuzheng wanted to say something else, but Lu Xining held his hand and said, "It's okay. My sister is back. She will always be by your side and won't let anything happen to you again."
Lu Yuzheng felt a little more at ease, and then slowly closed his eyes.
I don't know how long it took before the boy's even breathing could be heard from the bed.
Lu Xining looked at his younger brother's childish face and knew that that incident had caused a psychological shadow on him. He felt guilty and self-blame, but more importantly, he still hated...
——Divider line——
On the day the case came to trial, Lu Xining did not tell Lu Yuzheng.
Although he was the main victim, she didn't want her brother to remember anything about that day again, and it was best not to say a word in his ears.
After she sent Lu Yuzheng to a language training class, she went alone.
This day has been nearly half a month since Lin Qingyue was arrested, and this is also the first time they have met in so many days.
Lin Qingyue's face was very haggard, he had lost weight, and his pregnant belly looked even bigger, which showed that these days were not easy.
But this makes her even more fragile than before. Just looking at that face, no one would believe that she would do such a vicious thing.
There were many witnesses present. Lu Xining listened to their confessions and pieced together the entire incident.
In fact, it's not complicated at all. It's just that Lin Qingyue dragged Lu Yuzheng into it in order to take revenge on himself.
But she didn't know that if it hadn't been for this incident, Lu Xining might not have returned to Jin Shaoheng so easily.
Of course, her pregnancy would not be exposed, and Lin Qingyue would not stand in the dock.
But nothing matters now. What matters is that she has to pay the price for what she has done.
When the court was adjourned, Lin Qingyue, unwilling to give up, suddenly knelt in front of Lu Xining.
She repeated her old tricks just like she did in front of Jin Shaoheng, pretending to be pitiful and repenting, and begging Lu Xining for forgiveness, making people who didn't know it feel like she was the victim.
But Lu Xining had long seen through her true face, and his heart had become cold when she hurt his brother, so he was naturally indifferent.
The court finally made a decision. Although the time was not very long, it was enough for her to give birth in prison.
Everything seemed to have settled. Lu Xining waited until everyone left, then stood up and walked out slowly, but saw a familiar figure in the corridor.
Jin Shaoheng!
I don’t know when he came. Anyway, I didn’t see him when the court was in session.
Their eyes met, and to be honest, Lu Xining felt nervous at that moment because she couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
"Xining." Gu Yuzhi suddenly appeared and held her hand.
Lu Xining received the power from his palm, smiled at him, and then slowly walked out.
When passing by Jin Shaoheng, she deliberately did not look at him, as if he were a stranger.
Despite the fact that her heartstrings were extremely tight, she was afraid that Jin Shaoheng would suddenly reach out and forcefully pull her to his side.
But no.
Until she got into Gu Yuzhi's car and glanced sideways at him, still standing there, as if he hadn't moved since just now.
"Mr. Jin." After a while, Liu Weijie stepped forward.
Jin Shaoheng looked at the car that was gradually leaving his sight and said, "Let everyone who is following Lu Xining evacuate."
