Shen Xiaolian narrated while recalling, "Big brother, you fell into a coma in the ice and snow at that time. Your body was so cold that you were stiff and your breath was dissociated. I could only drag you to a nearby cave and light a fire to keep you warm." .”
"But the temperature was too low. Your lips were so cold that they turned black. I could only... I could only take off my coat and hug you tightly. We just hugged each other to keep warm in the snowy night. I am still talking to you in your ear, constantly encouraging you, and I say big brother, you must persevere."
Lu Hanting listened quietly. When Xia Yanyan found him with a jade pendant many years ago, he did not become suspicious, so he did not ask Xia Yanyan to recall the situation at that time. Now Shen Xiaolian is recalling every scene and sentence she said. The words were all true, exactly as he remembered them.
"Later, big brother, when you woke up, you gave me a jade pendant and said... that you would come back to me and that you would definitely find me..."
"However, I have been waiting for you for so many years, but you have not come. However, I have always hung the jade pendant you gave me around my neck to treasure it. My biggest wish is to reunite with my eldest brother."
Shen Xiaolian looked at Lu Hanting with watery eyes, she was shy about speaking, full of affection, her eyes seemed to be seductive.
Lu Hanting remained expressionless. He said calmly, "Then you can stay here for the time being and take good care of yourself first."
Apart from this, he said nothing.
Shen Xiaolian was a little disappointed. Lu Hanting was a very wise and alert man. She was strong and soft at the same time, and she kept launching sugar-coated bullets, but Lu Hanting didn't take any of them. She couldn't tell what he was thinking.
"Brother, did Sister Xia misunderstand? I think...Sister Xia doesn't like me very much..." Shen Xiaolian said aggrievedly.
Mentioning Xia Xiwan, Lu Hanting's handsome brows overflowed with softness, "Just don't appear in front of her in the future. I will coax her slowly, and I will definitely coax her well."
Shen Xiaolian froze.
"By the way, she doesn't like you very much now, so don't make her unhappy anymore, and don't call her "big brother" again." After saying that, Lu Hanting turned and left.
Shen Xiaolian froze on the spot, her face turned pale. She didn't expect that she would play with an injury and pretend to be weak and pitiful, but she would receive such a cold and callous treatment from him.
How abominable!
…
In the study room.
Lu Hanting sat on the office chair, and Chongwen handed over a sealed file bag, "Master, here are all the detailed information on Shen Xiaolian's life."
Lu Hanting opened the portfolio and quickly browsed through it with lowered eyes.
"Master, are you doubting Shen Xiaolian? According to these information, there is nothing wrong with Shen Xiaolian, and everything she said is true."
Lu Hanting put down the information. It seemed that there was indeed nothing wrong with Shen Xiaolian, but he always felt that there was something wrong.
Too many things happened in the Lu family that year. His mother jumped from the high platform of Gillian's house into the river and disappeared. He was so stimulated at his mother's funeral that he was forcibly sent to a mental hospital.
He stayed in a mental hospital for two years and then came out. On the way to Haicheng, he was chased and killed again, and was trapped in the ice and snow and almost died.
All of this happened so coincidentally that it was like a series of traps, tightly tying him and the fate of the entire Lu family together.
Over the years, a layer of gloom has been hanging over the Lu family, and the silence is so oppressive that people can't breathe.
Lu Hanting always felt that there was a powerful behind-the-scenes hand behind this, driving all of this.
Now every piece of evidence proves to him that the girl who saved him in the ice and snow was this Shen Xiaolian, but there is always a voice in his heart telling him that it is not, definitely not this Shen Xiaolian.
What will Shen Xiaolian bring when she appears at this time?
Lu Hanting drew a shallow and dangerous arc with his thin lips. Although he couldn't see these doubts clearly now, these monsters and monsters around him were already ready to move and began to appear. He didn't have to do anything now, just watch quietly. good.
Lu Hanting lowered his eyes and landed on a photo. This photo was the place where he was trapped and where he met the girl.
Lu Hanting suddenly narrowed his deep eyes. He picked up the photo and looked at it carefully.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Chongwen asked in a low voice.
Lu Hanting said slowly, "I don't know why, but when I look at this place now, I feel it looks familiar, as if I have been back there before."
"Master, think about it quickly."
Lu Hanting closed his eyes and then shook his head, "I can't remember it. It's just that this place feels very familiar to me, as if...my old days are there."
In fact, the place in this photo is the countryside where Xia Xiwan grew up, but it is far away and not the same place. Xia Xiwan took Lu Hanting back when he was critically ill four years ago.
Unfortunately, Lu Hanting was brought in by Xia Xiwan with his eyes closed, and was brought out by Lu Sijue with his eyes closed.
There were the sweetest old times between him and Xia Xiwan.
Chongwen said, "Master, this place is also Haicheng. Speaking of which, you and the girl met in Haicheng, and you and Miss Xia also met in Haicheng. Haicheng is the place where all the stories begin."
Lu Hanting remembered the first time he and Xia Xiwan met on the train in Haicheng. At that time, he was chased again. Although it was later found out that they were business rivals, it was exactly the same as the chase he encountered the first time. It was said that it was also Lu Hanting. He is a business rival, but he always feels something strange.
The first time he met the girl, the second time he met Xia Xiwan, the wheel of fate kept turning, as if there was an arrangement somewhere, and Haicheng was the place where all the stories began.
Lu Hanting opened the bottom drawer and put the photo in, "It's better not to tell Wanwan about that girl, she will definitely think too much."
He had told her that Xia Yanyan had saved him before in Haicheng, and she was jealous at that time. It is undeniable that that girl was still a soft person in his heart back then. Of course, now his heart has been given to her.
If Xia Xiwan knew now that Xia Yanyan had just been sent away and Shen Xiaolian had arrived, she would definitely be jealous.
It's terrible for a woman to be jealous. He didn't even do anything, but he had already betrayed his family and was severely punished by the little nannies and his father-in-law. He didn't want to make the matter bigger again.
"I understand, Master."
…
Xia Xiwan returned to her apartment and Qing'er said, "The whereabouts of Guan Zilong have been found."
