Free Web NovelChapter 951: Chapter 353: [Heartbroken Fairy Tale] This Endless Tsunami (Part 2)
Lin Chu wasn’t interested in the Lu Family’s quarrels over interests, and went upstairs to her room.
The soundproofing was excellent; she couldn’t hear any noises from downstairs. freeweɓnovel.cøm
If it weren’t for Lu Mingchuan’s mother, she would almost have forgotten about such a person’s existence, someone who had once caused her such grievances.
Although he hadn’t really harmed her, using such underhanded means, he wouldn’t be considered a gentleman.
Ultimately, it was only for the sake of another person.
An eye for an eye, a debt to the debtor, all of this was the sin Shen Weiyi brought upon himself. If he didn’t go to hell after death, it would be truly unjust.
About twenty minutes later, a servant knocked and entered, carrying a serving of sticky rice porridge.
"Madam, sir has gone to the company. He instructed me to have you eat this bowl of porridge, simmered for over an hour; it tastes quite good."
Lu Huai’an didn’t ask Lin Chu to accompany him to the company because Lin Chu was pregnant.
But Lin Chu herself did not know; she naturally thought otherwise, since last night she had fainted from Lu Huai’an’s nearly brutal behavior. Anyone with a bit of humanity wouldn’t ask her to accompany him while injured.
"Leave it here, I’m not hungry now."
The servant looked at Lin Chu, who was snuggled on the sofa with her eyes closed, looking not the least like someone who would eat.
She stepped forward cautiously, speaking carefully.
"Sir says you’re too thin, and you don’t eat much breakfast. If this continues, it means my cooking skills are lacking, and he might dismiss me. Madam, I really need this job; you know I have severely ill parents at home."
The servant standing before Lin Chu was the one they had hired when she and Lu Huai’an first moved to the Riverfront Apartment.
Lu Huai’an paid a salary three times the normal rate; she really couldn’t afford to lose this job, as she wasn’t lying.
Lin Chu opened her eyes, looking at the cautious servant.
Lu Huai’an had come up with new tactics...
Knowing she had a saintly heart, he realized that implicating innocents would make her feel guilty. So instead of blatant threats, he would use another method to make her compromise.
"Understood, leave it here, I will eat it."
The servant breathed a sigh of relief, "Alright, I’ll head out now. Let me know if you need anything."
Lin Chu saw no need to trouble someone who knew nothing, so she said she would eat, and she definitely would.
The weather was nice today, but Lin Chu stayed in her room, except during lunchtime when she went downstairs; her bedroom door remained closed.
During lunch, Lu Huai’an called Lin Chu three times. She didn’t answer any of them, and in the end, he turned his attention elsewhere.
The servant stood by the dining table, answering whatever Lu Huai’an asked, while Lin Chu seemed as if she heard nothing, staring blankly at her food.
Since waking up that morning, only one thing occupied her mind: about ’the two lives of the Lu Family’.
When Old Sir Lu died, she was still in Su City, irrelevant to her.
Who could it possibly be?
Lin Chu scoured all her memories but found no clues.
There was only one possibility: she had forgotten about it.
Last night Lu Huai’an said this: you see, it can be forgotten.
Lin Chu’s memory wasn’t great, but it wasn’t to the extent where she’d forget something as significant as a matter involving lives completely.
Forgotten by her...
The accident at ten years old!
Suddenly, Lin Chu remembered that when she was ten, she nearly died in a river after falling through the ice due to playing recklessly. The person who pulled her out of Hell King’s death list was Lu Huai’an.
Only she knew that the person who saved her wasn’t that passerby uncle, but Lu Huai’an.
She had a persistent high fever and, upon recovering from severe illness, forgot many things from before. Memories from before the age of ten were scarce.
So, certainly, it was something she had forgotten.
In the afternoon, Lin Chu went to see Ji Wanxia.
Ji Wanxia told her: "Lu Huai’an had a sister named Lu Yicheng, about the same age as you. The two of you used to be good friends, but she passed away on the day you were taken to the hospital, teetering on the edge of life."
Sister...
Lin Chu never knew that Lu Huai’an had a sister. freewēbnoveℓ.com
High-society families always have unspeakable secrets, but the early demise of a child, though sad when mentioned, doesn’t fall into the unspeakable category.
For a family with a name like the Lu Family, an accident befalling a daughter wouldn’t go unnoticed by the upper echelons of An City.
Yet Lin Chu had never heard anyone speak of it.
Was it fear of the Lu Family’s power and an avoidance of taboo topics, or perhaps simply forgotten as time passed...
