Chapter 4: The Night Without Faith Lu Shuang 03
When the party was over, I paid for the drinks as I said. For most of them, this amount of money was nothing, so no one stopped me.
After coming out of the KTV, I went to a nearby bank to check the balance of my bank card, carefully calculated the amount of money I could still control, then sighed and put the card back in my bag.
Because it was late, there were fewer cars on the street , and even fewer pedestrians. The light from the street lamps cast a lonely and deserted look. The wind was a bit strong tonight, and the night wind was very cold. I was only wearing a thin T-shirt, and I couldn't help hugging my arms.
Just then a little girl ran past me, laughing cheerfully: "Mom, can we go get another ice cream?"
A middle-aged woman came up, grabbed the child's hand, and put a coat on her: "No, come home with me. Taking you to see a movie today is already an exception. Go home quickly to take a shower and sleep, you have to go to school tomorrow."
The little girl giggled and pulled the middle-aged woman's arm and said coquettishly: "No, just buy an ice cream. It won't take long. There is a store at the corner of that road..."
"Then you have to make sure you get 100 points in the next exam." The expression on the middle-aged woman's face became helpless. Which mother can stand her daughter's coquettishness?
"Okay! I promise!"
As I watched, I felt my nose and eyes a little sore.
Maybe the wind was too strong and the sand blinded my eyes.
Su Xin and I have never gotten along like this girl and her mother. When I was young, Su Xin was a princess who didn't care about anything. She didn't know to bring extra clothes for me and Lu Lan when it was cold, nor did she know to tell us to go to bed early and get up early the next day, because the nanny would take care of all these.
And later, she fell directly from heaven to hell. She couldn't even defeat her own inner demons, let alone distract herself to take care of me and Lu Lan.
That’s why I feel that people are indifferent now.
But sometimes, I also long for family affection from the bottom of my heart.
Even though you know you can't get it, you still want it.
I didn't go home, I wandered aimlessly on the street alone . Thinking of going back and facing the neurotic Su Xin, I still didn't have the courage. I had long since given up on expecting us to get along like a normal mother and daughter. In fact, as long as we don't hurt each other and don't interfere with each other, that's my biggest wish.
But with Su Xin's current condition, we can't even do this, I can only be a deserter.
I have been holding on for too long. I can feel it all the time that if I hold on for one more day, I will reach my limit and go crazy with Su Xin.
When I pulled my thoughts back, I happened to stop at the door of an Internet cafe. I walked in without thinking too much, booked a night, found a seat with a sofa, turned on the computer, and randomly browsed a few web pages to kill time.
When I really couldn't face Su Xin, I would run out and find an Internet cafe to spend the night. Actually, I wasn't keen on online games, but it was better to spend the night in an Internet cafe than sleeping on the street, and the price of a night in an Internet cafe was cheaper than staying in a hotel.
Before I knew it, I fell asleep on the table.
Maybe I was too tired, or maybe the mother and daughter I met on the road just now stimulated the memories deep in my mind, and in my dream I was 8 years old again.
I still remember that day, Lu Lan and I were sleeping, and suddenly we heard a lot of noise outside. I have always been a light sleeper, so I was awakened . I put on my slippers and ran out of the room, tiptoed on the handrail, and looked down at the living room.
From my angle, I could only see a woman holding Lu Jingcheng's arm, and Su Xin slumped down on the sofa, her face pale and her whole body trembling.
Lu Jingcheng had waited for this day for a long time, and every word he said to accuse Su Xin was sharp: "You think I love you? In fact, I've had enough of you! You are spoiled, and you boss me around just because you have a few stinky money. Who do you think you are? I don't want to put up with you anymore!"
Su Xin's fighting power was still too weak at that time. She could only curl up in a corner and cry alone. She couldn't even say a word of rebuttal.
Normally, she was indeed spoiled and easily angered. If someone didn't do what she wanted, she would get angry. However, because she was spoiled, when she really encountered such a situation, all her temper could not be exerted.
"If you know what's good for you, take Lu Shuang, Lu Lan and the child support and leave tomorrow." Lu Jingcheng was not moved at all by Su Xin's tears, and his face remained cold-blooded. "If you insist on not leaving, don't blame me for not letting you get a penny!"
Lu Jingcheng is so scary that my hair stands on end every time I think about him. To be honest, over the years, I have met all kinds of people, both good and bad, but Lu Jingcheng is always the scariest person I have ever met.
Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but he can throw Lu Lan and me away like a burden.
I was 8 years old at the time, lying behind the railing, my face pale with fear, but I didn’t cry or scream. I just couldn’t help shaking all over because of fear.
I also heard Lu Jingcheng's lover say in a smug tone: "Jingcheng no longer loves you. Now he loves me. You should take the child and quit. It will not be good for you to continue to entangle with him."
