Chapter 4: The Night Without Faith Lu Shuang 04
I didn't continue listening because the nanny found me, ran over and took me back to the room , and covered my ears: "It's okay, it's okay, Xiaoshuang, don't be afraid, your parents are just arguing."
I was very grateful for her words of comfort, but I knew that what Lu Jingcheng said at that time was definitely not an ordinary quarrel, and my family might be about to break up.
As a result, a week later, Su Xin took us out of the villa and moved into an ordinary apartment building, and then my long nightmare began.
I never mentioned to Su Xin that I once took Lu Lan to find Lu Jingcheng. When Su Xin overdrew her credit card for who knows how many times, forcing Lu Lan and I to have no food to eat, I packed a simple bag and ran away without leaving a note for Su Xin.
This is why I always feel that I am a cold-blooded person at heart. I should hate Lu Jingcheng and sympathize with Su Xin, but I still betrayed Su Xin and wanted to join Lu Jingcheng. Because I knew that if I followed Su Xin, Lu Lan and I might not live to adulthood.
But I still held on to the idea that Lu Jingcheng was a human being, and that Lu Lan and I were his biological children after all, and he would not just ignore us. Later, I realized how ridiculous this idea was.
During those two years, Lu Jingcheng's business suffered losses and he replaced his villa with an apartment. I took Lu Lan and asked all his relatives before we found out his whereabouts.
I took Lu Lan to find him. Even if we couldn't take refuge, at least he could give us some money and we could find a place to live. I could figure out how to live in the future.
But when Lu Jingcheng heard what I said, he frowned and said, "I lost so much money in business that I sold my house. How can I have the money to give you? I gave your mother all the child support in one go. Now you're asking me for money. Aren't you too greedy?"
If I could, I didn't want to believe that the man in front of me was my biological father, and I didn't want to face the look on his face that looked like he was looking at garbage. At that time, Lu Lan was so scared that he hid behind me and trembled, his hands tightly grasping my sleeves, but he tried hard not to cry.
I looked into his eyes and said word by word, "Even if Lu Lan and I starve to death on the street today, will you still not care about us?"
Lu Jingcheng was silent, looking at me without saying anything.
At this moment, his current wife came out holding a two-year-old boy. Seeing us standing outside the door, she immediately became furious: "What a good you! What did you promise in the beginning? You wouldn't contact them again. It turns out you were just kidding me!"
Lu Jingcheng frowned and replied impatiently: "They came to me on their own initiative, can you blame me?"
I made a final struggle before they started arguing, and repeated in a firm and loud voice the purpose of our coming here: "As long as you give us money, I promise that I will never appear in your sight from now on."
When the woman holding the child heard what I said, her whole body exploded as if a piece of dynamite was lit.
"You want money? My son also needs money! This is not a place to help the poor. We have already given you the money you deserve. Don't even think about taking a penny from us!"
The woman reached out and pushed me. Lu Lan was bumped by me, staggered, fell to the ground, and burst into tears .
But Lu Jingcheng withdrew his gaze and was dragged into the house by the woman, and then the door was slammed shut.
With a "bang", from that moment on, I felt as if something in my heart was cut off, and the blood in my body was cold. It was a failed escape, and Lu Lan and I could only return to Su Xin with our luggage.
The saddest thing is that Su Xin was drunk and didn’t even notice that Lu Lan and I had left.
Maybe Lu Lan is the only relative I still care about in this world. Because he has suffered too much pain just like me, and he is younger than me, but he faces the same suffering as me. I feel sorry for him, but also for myself.
Perhaps some people in this world are destined to be abandoned by God.
