This time, the fight didn’t work out.

　Lu Wusui suppressed his restless hands and said to Jiang Huai, “Be good, go back to the bedroom first.”

　Just as Jiang Huai shook his head.

　The door in front of the two of them suddenly opened from the inside, revealing Tang Pingjian’s haggard face.

　Jiang Huai and Lu Wusui were both stunned. Lu Wusui’s face darkened and he said to Jiang Huai, “You go back first.”

　Jiang Huai grabbed Lu Wusui’s sleeve, making it clear that he didn’t want to go back. From the look of him, it seemed that he was afraid that Lu Wusui and Tang Pingjian would fight.

　It would have been fine if he didn’t know about what happened between Tang Pingjian and Lu Wusui before.

　Now that I know, I suddenly feel that Lu Wusui was able to tolerate Tang Pingjian staying at home for such a long time – he has such a good temper.

　Tang Pingjian was also stunned when he saw Lu Wusui.

　Lu Wusui said expressionlessly: “I remember I told you to get out of my house.”

　Jiang Huai hesitated to speak, wanting Lu Wusui to stop talking like that.

　From this perspective, Lu Wusui was quite kind when he spoke to him – at least he didn’t use any swear words.

　When Tang Pingjian came over, he seemed to have drunk quite a bit of wine.

　Even though he was sober now, if he got a little closer to him, he could still smell the strong smell of alcohol. He rubbed his stomach painfully, as if he didn’t hear Lu Wusou’s cold words, “I… I , I left something at your place. Have you seen it?”

　”Yeah, he said he was looking for something,” Jiang Huai explained, “That’s why I let him in. Did I do the right thing?”

　Tang Pingjian gave Jiang Huai a thumbs up and said, “Yes, that’s absolutely right.”

　Lu Wusui: “…”

　He didn’t want to argue with Tang Pingjian here, so he said coldly: “There is nothing here that you are looking for, and this is not a shelter.”

　”No?” Tang Pingjian murmured.

　Lu Wusui said coldly: “No.”

　When Tang Pingjian heard him say this, he started to get a little crazy.

　He wiped his face and said to himself, “No? That’s impossible? I clearly fell here, I clearly fell here, if it’s not here, where should I look for it? Where should I look for it?”

　Jiang Huai was frightened by his sudden collapse.

　He was protected by Lu Wusui behind him. When Lu Wusui saw Tang Pingjian like this, the expression on his face did not change at all, and he was so cold to a terrifying degree.

　Jiang Huai remembered something and asked tentatively: “Are you looking for photo?”

　Hearing this, Tang Pingjian immediately raised his head and said to Jiang Huai, “Yes, it’s a photo. Have you seen it? Have you seen it?”

　Jiang Huai tugged at the hem of Lu Wusui’s clothes.

　He whispered, “Where’s the pocket watch I gave you before? It belonged to Uncle Tang.”

　The expression on Lu Wusui’s face was still cold and hard.

　He stared at Tang Pingjian’s face, which showed renewed hope, for a moment. After a moment, he turned around and walked towards the master bedroom.

　Tang Pingjian stared at Lu Wusou’s back, grabbed Jiang Huai’s hand, and kept saying, “Thank you, Xiao Jiang, thank you so much.”

　Jiang Huai always felt that something was strange after Tang Pingjian came back this time.

　When he stayed at the Lu family before, although he drank, he had never drunk to this extent.

　Not long after, Lu Wusui came out of the master bedroom. After he came out, Tang Pingjian straightened up and stared at Lu Wusui…at the thing in his hand.

　Lu Wusui threw the thing to him.

　Tang Pingjian opened the old pocket watch, and then held it up as if it were a treasure.

　The madness just now disappeared from his face, and he seemed to have regained some of his human nature, much more normal than before. He kept muttering, “Thank you, thank you.”

　Before he knew that he had lost Lu Wusui, Jiang Huai liked him very much.

　Seeing him like this, Jiang Huai couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable again, and he hugged Lu Wusui’s arm.

　The expression in Lu Wusui’s eyes finally became complicated.

　In fact, Jiang Huai knew that Lu Wusui was definitely not as cold and hard as he appeared. This could be seen from the fact that he did not like children but had been supporting orphanages.

　He also knew that no matter how pitiful Tang Pingjian’s behavior was now, he was the one who made the mistake first.

　So you can’t blame others, and you certainly can’t blame Lu Wusui for being cruel.

　Lu Wusui held Jiang Huai’s hand, his voice was gentle, but still a little stiff: “Let’s go to bed.”

　After returning to the bedroom, Jiang Huai remembered that Lu Wusui seemed to have not eaten yet.

　When he turned around, Lu Wusui just happened to walk over and the two of them bumped into each other. Jiang Huai was taken into Lu Wusui’s arms. He raised his head and was able to see Lu Wusui’s tired profile.

　They were about to go abroad, and Lu Wusui had a lot of work to deal with, and several times he worked until the early morning.

　Jiang Huai whispered: “I’m sorry, should I not have brought him home?”

　Lu Wusui paused.

　He let go of Jiang Huai, his expression softened a lot, and pinched Jiang Huai’s face, “Don’t you still think you did the right thing just now?”

　Jiang Huai: “…”

　Just talk, why do you have to take action?

　”Were you curious before about why I treated him like that?” Lu Wusui asked.

　When Jiang Huai heard him say this, he didn’t know whether to nod or shake his head.

　Curiosity is definitely there.

　However, he had already heard the reason from Dean Mei, and didn’t want Lu Wusui to expose his own scars – he couldn’t help but think, as an unpopular child in the Jiang family, he was confused for a while because of this. How would Lu Wusui feel when he was abandoned by his own father?

　”I didn’t get lost that time,” Lu Wusui said, “I ran away on my own.”

　Jiang Huai’s eyes widened.

　”I haven’t seen my mother since I was born, because she got sick when she gave birth to me and couldn’t be saved. The adults at the time were vague and refused to tell me what the disease was,” Lu Wusui paused, “Later I checked and found out that it was amniotic fluid embolism.”

　Jiang Huai doesn’t know much about diseases, but he also wants to have a baby soon.

　Therefore, he felt the pain almost instantly.

　”According to other people in the Lu family, Tang Pingjian was a normal person before my mother died,” Lu Wusui said. “He went crazy at the door of the operating room that day and rushed in to beat the doctor, saying that this hospital was killing people.”

　At the same time, on the other side, Tang Pingjian was stroking Lu Chengqiu’s photo with a dazed look on his face.

　He called out, “Qiu Qiu!”

　There’s more to it than that.

　After being stopped, Tang Pingjian was still very upset and wanted to smash the hospital.

　The doctor is innocent.

　Later, Tang Pingjian was given a sedative and tied up with a restraint before being placed on a hospital bed. When he woke up, he lay in bed again, refusing to eat, drink or speak.

　Even if someone brought a newborn baby to his bedside, it didn’t cause him any disturbance.

　It’s like being dead.

　He did think about committing suicide.

　But the old lady kept a strict watch on him. She ordered several strong men to watch him in the hospital, and did not allow the hospital to remove his restraints. All three meals were force-fed.

　This finally stopped him from seeking death.

　He stayed in the hospital for a full month. Lu Wusui also stayed in an incubator for a while because of premature birth. During that time, the distance between the two was no more than 100 meters, and Tang Pingjian never even looked at him.

　Later, if the old lady hadn’t stepped forward.

　The other members of the Lu family had no doubt that Tang Pingjian would stay in the hospital until it went bankrupt.

　It was unknown what the old lady said to him, but Tang Pingjian forced himself to cheer up and took Lu Wusui from the old lady.

　Lu Rumei said: “Originally, this child was to be named Lu, but since Cheng Qiu has passed away, the child should take your surname.”

　Tang Pingjian said in a hoarse voice: “No need.”

　Lu Rumei was a little surprised.

　”This child should be named Chengqiu,” Tang Pingjian glanced at the baby in the swaddling clothes and handed it to Lu Rumei. “You can name him.”

　Lu Rumei looked at his attitude and suppressed the urge to get angry.

　She frowned, but her expression softened a lot when she looked at the child.

　In Tang Pingjian’s blank eyes, Lu Rumei said: “Let’s call him Wusui, no disasters, I hope he grows up safely.”

　Tang Pingjian didn’t react at all.

　”You can’t expect others to help you take care of your child, right?” Lu Rumei frowned, “He already has no mother. If you don’t take care of him, this child will have no choice but to die…”

　”Alright, alright, I know Lu Chengqiu is dead! No need to repeat it!” Tang Pingjian suddenly shouted, “My child, I’ll take care of him.”

　Lu Rumei looked at him quietly for a moment.

　Tang Pingjian scratched his hair, “I’m not as hard-hearted as you. Lu Chengqiu is dead, and I can’t stay calm. I just don’t want to see him temporarily, because I can’t help but think about it… I can’t help but think about it…”

　Lu Rumei’s lips trembled.

　Is she hard-hearted?

　Tang Pingjian asked hoarsely: “Why is Qiuqiu gone, but he is still alive?”

　Lu Rumei said sternly: “Tang Pingjian!”

　”He is your son, not your enemy,” Lu Rumei said, “If Cheng Qiu knew you treated her son like this, she would scold you even in your dreams!”

　Tang Pingjian had already collapsed, his face was full of tears, and he hugged his head.

　In the silent confrontation, Lu Rumei slowly put Lu Wusui down.

　In fact, she wanted to say something else.

　But she also knew that no matter what she said, Tang Pingjian would not be able to listen.

　The child was sleeping soundly in his cradle. He had been taken care of in the hospital for some time, and also by the Lu family. He looked to be in relatively good condition, at least he did not look malnourished.

　Lu Rumei suppressed her reluctance.

　She turned her head and took a look – dusk was setting, in the dim sunlight, Tang Pingjian was half lying on the hospital bed, and finally he was willing to look at the child beside him.

　But it was just a glance.

　He was like a piece of wood with only a human appearance. Apart from this shell, his soul had long since drifted away to who knows where.

　After being discharged from the hospital, Tang Pingjian took Lu Wusui away from the Lu family.

　Lu Rumei turned a blind eye and did not stop it, she just watched from the bottom of her heart.

　Looking back at the three years that Tang Pingjian lived with Lu Wusui, he did try hard to live. The child was always difficult to raise in the first two years. He could hardly survive without his mother because of the feeding and crying.

　But Lu Wusui was taken care of and survived safely.

　Occasionally Tang Pingjian would take him back to the Lu family, but they never stayed for long.

　No matter whether they are poor or rich, relatives always have the same mouth. Even when Lu Wusui could not speak very well, this group of people always liked to talk.

　Poor thing.

　He lost his mother at such a young age, and his father is a lunatic. Why did he have to live with a child outside and suffer? It would be better to send him back to the Lu family to be raised – it would be fine if he had no future, but he only cared about his pitiful self-esteem and didn’t think about the child?

　Tang Pingjian just listened to these words and never took them to heart.

　However, there is another type of words that Tang Pingjian cannot bear to hear.

　That is – why not find a new mother for the child?

　Is he still thinking about the Lu family’s property, knowing that he can no longer shamelessly accept the Lu family’s care after marrying a new wife?

　Tang Pingjian wished he could tear these people’s mouths apart!

　Every time Tang Pingjian lost his temper, Lu Wusui, who was only one or two years old, would grab Tang Pingjian in ignorant fear.

　The harsher Tang Pingjian scolded these people, the deeper Lu Wusui’s fear became. This was also the fundamental reason why he later had little trust in Tang Pingjian.

　Adults’ emotions are directly reflected in children.

　The world built by Tang Ping has collapsed into ruins. He can take care of Lu Wusui on a material level, but what about him spiritually?

　How can a person whose spirit is exhausted give love to others?

　Lu Rumei has told him many times about this, “I’ve told you, every time you lose your temper, Xiao Sui is scared. I’ll talk to the people at home, but before you lose control of your temper, at least think about Xiao Sui first!”

　Tang Pingjian would listen every time.

　But it never changes.

　On the day when Lu Wusui had a conflict with him, Tang Pingjian had just come out of Lu’s house after an argument with someone, and turned around and walked into the pub with Lu Wusui in his arms.

　He looked really scary when he was drunk.

　Nothing can make a child feel more insecure than a drunk adult.

　Lu Wusui hugged his arm, wanting him to go home quickly.

　Tang Pingjian remained unmoved. He stared at Lu Wusui blankly. Suddenly, he grabbed his shoulder, as if he was interrogating him, or as if he was talking to himself.

　”I’ve tried my best, why do you force me?”

　Lu Wusui didn’t understand what he was saying.

　Tang Pingjian repeated it again, louder this time, “Why do you force me? Lu Chengqiu, tell me, why did you abandon me and a child like this? Why?”

　Lu Wusui was frightened.

　Except for his infancy, he was a child who seldom cried and was obedient and silent most of the time.

　After being so frightened, he did not cry, but was just at a loss. He seemed to be able to feel the malice coming from Tang Pingjian, his biological father.

　To him.

　The noise here finally alarmed the guests nearby, who called the boss over and finally persuaded Tang Pingjian to go back.

　But Lu Wusui was already frightened.

　He stepped back again and again, and in the chaos, no one noticed that a child slipped out of the tavern.

　In fact, he could have hidden himself first, waiting for Tang Pingjian to sober up or calm down, and then follow Tang Pingjian home.

　However, the three-foot-thick ice does not form overnight.

　The root of Lu Wusui’s distrust of Tang Pingjian came from the days and nights they spent together. Lu Wusui’s IQ was much smarter than that of an average child, and smart children were mostly alert and cautious.

　He already sensed Tang Pingjian’s ill intentions.

　How can he be willing to go back?

　When he met Dean Mei, Lu Wusui had been walking outside for a long time alone.

　The world is dangerous to him, but it is also full of kindness.

　Dean Mei accepted him into the yard without much hesitation and gave him water and food.

　At that time, Lu Wusui was illiterate and didn’t know where he was.

　He avoided all the dangers on the road by relying on his instinct, and it must be said that it was a blessing to find this place.

　He didn’t know whether Tang Pingjian had looked for him during the three days he was missing.

　I don’t know how Lu Rumei found him.

　He stayed in the orphanage for almost a week before he was taken away by the Lu family who arrived late. From that day on, for the next five years, Tang Pingjian never appeared in his sight again.

　”Later, I asked my grandmother to donate some money to the orphanage,” Lu Wusui said. “When Tang Pingjian returned to the Lu family, I was already ten years old.”

　What’s strange is that he obviously shouldn’t remember Tang Pingjian.

　Children under the age of three have very few memories.

　But perhaps the feeling of being betrayed was too deep, and the road to the orphanage while hiding from the drunk Tang Pingjian was too long.

　He remembered that memory fondly.

　Almost everything related to Tang Pingjian is not a good memory.

　Lu Wusui knew that he was his father, but as Tang Pingjian became more and more out of touch with the times, he quit his relatively stable job and became a stable alcoholic.

　Later, drinking could no longer satisfy him.

　He became an intermittent gambler again.

　There were so many things like this that Lu Wusui didn’t want to admit that he was his father.

　He is not a vain person. Everything the Lu family has given him is enough for him to not need to be vain in front of anyone.

　But he was ashamed that Tang Pingjian was his father.

　When Tang Pingjian was thinking about why he killed his mother.

　Wasn’t Lu Wusui also wondering why Tang Pingjian was his father?

　It was late at night, Jiang Huai curled up in Lu Wusui’s arms. He was obviously very sleepy, but still couldn’t fall asleep.

　He suddenly remembered something that happened in his previous life.

　Since the matter had nothing to do with him at the time, he didn’t take it to heart and just let it go.

　But now thinking about it, he immediately no longer felt sleepy.

　After listening to Lu Wusui’s story, his good impression of Tang Pingjian gradually faded, but he couldn’t completely ignore it for the time being.

　Jiang Huai said softly: “Lu Wusui.”

　Lu Wusui was not asleep. He slowly opened his eyes and said “hmm”.

　He stroked Jiang Huai’s hair gently.

　Jiang Huai thought about it and said, “It seems that Uncle Tang will not live long.”

　Lu Wusui paused.

　In his previous life, if Jiang Huai remembered correctly, he heard the news that “Lu Wusui’s father had passed away” about half a year before his death.

　The cause is cirrhosis of the liver.

　People who drink alcohol for a long time are more likely to suffer from diseases.

　Lu Wusui froze.

　When he was telling Jiang Huai about what happened back then, it was as if a hand had cleared away a fog in his heart, and the confusion he had felt back then gradually became clear.

　This hand is – when he faces the same dilemma as Tang Pingjian.

　Put yourself in his shoes. If something happened to Jiang Huai now, and he went into the operating room and never came out, but only his child survived, could he do what Tang Pingjian did?

　Jiang Huai also thought of this.

　His mood changed slightly and he bit his lip, “Lu Wusui, if it were me…”

　”No,” Lu Wusou interrupted him, “The doctor has already been found, he is confident in the operation, it’s impossible, don’t guess blindly.”

　Jiang Huai looked at him with suspicion.

　I always feel that Lu Wusui’s current condition is not right.
