The moment she heard Lu Ran's words, Mu Qian paused suddenly and raised her eyes to look at Rong Heng. Seeing that Rong Heng also turned around instantly and stared at Lu Ran.
"Do you remember?" Mu Qian asked.
Lu Ran shed tears and nodded with difficulty.
She remembered, just now.
After being taken upstairs by Lu Yujiang, locked in this bedroom, and tearing off her clothes, something suddenly flashed through her mind. It was originally just some messy pictures, but at her most panicked and desperate moment, she finally saw something.
Connect in series!
She saw an office being renovated and saw her mother who had long since disappeared from her memory.
Lu Yiyun took her to check the progress of the office decoration. Unexpectedly, it happened to be the time when the decoration workers were on vacation. Lu Yiyun put five-year-old Lu Ran next to him to play and inspected the decoration project by himself.
This floor is the new office that Lu Yiyun's company will move into. It has open cubicles and several separate offices. Lu Yiyun was originally engaged in decoration projects, so he inspected it very carefully, and Lu Ran was in a few
Walking back and forth in the space, playing with himself obediently.
In the open cubicle, Lu Ran picked up a few discarded pieces of wood in a corner and squatted on the ground to play with building blocks.
When she was having fun, she suddenly heard the sound of rapid footsteps. When she raised her head, she saw Lu Yujiang, who was walking quickly with a serious face.
She was squatting behind a pile of decoration materials. Lu Yujiang didn't see her and walked straight into the office where Lu Yiyun was.
Lu Ran was quite familiar with Lu Yujiang, because he was a handsome uncle who often appeared next to his mother. He was also very kind to her. He would bring her gifts almost every time they met, and occasionally he would take her to eat delicious food.
Lu Ran actually liked him, but probably because of his shy nature, he still didn't get too close to Lu Yujiang.
Just like this moment, she looked at Lu Yujiang who suddenly appeared. Although she was happy in her heart, she did not rush out and appear in front of him.
After Lu Yujiang walked into the office, Lu Ran quickly heard his voice talking to Lu Yiyun.
Different from the usual communication between two people, they seemed to be quarreling. The two people argued so loudly that Lu Ran was scared to the point where he dared not go out.
"...This is just a business decision and has nothing to do with who the other party is..."
"It doesn't matter? You are so close to that person named Cai, you think I don't know?"
"Mr. Cai and I are just ordinary friends, just like you..."
"I have paid so much for you, what did that man named Cai give you? Compare me to him..."
"...I have told you a long time ago that we are just friends and partners. Please stop getting entangled in these personal matters, okay..."
"What did you say?"
"...I know you are very kind to me, but I really can't accept it..."
"Can't accept me? Then who can you accept? Someone named Cai?"
"no no……"
During the argument between the two people, Lu Ran squatted in that corner and listened silently until the sound of the argument disappeared.
She didn't know what was going on, so she slowly poked her head out and looked at the office, but she only saw Lu Yujiang standing there alone.
Mom is missing.
Lu Ran was a little curious for a moment, but when she saw Lu Yujiang standing there motionless, staring at a certain spot on the ground with a gloomy face, and his body trembling slightly, she didn't dare to go out.
She didn't know why, but Lu Yujiang's appearance made her feel a little scary, and her mother disappeared for a while, which made her feel a little at a loss.
So she just squatted quietly and watched over there silently.
After a long time, Lu and Jiang made a move.
Lu Ran saw him squat down and didn't know what he did. After a long time, he slowly straightened up again and stood there frozen.
Later, Lu Ran saw him take out a lighter from his pocket.
Lu Ran didn't see clearly what he did, he only saw flames suddenly bursting out in that office.
Lu Yujiang stood in front of the flames and seemed to stare at the flames for a long time before suddenly kicking something over.
The fire started rapidly in an instant. Lu Yujiang exited the office, kicked over the paint and paint in the cubicle outside, and then lit a newspaper, igniting everything.
Seeing the fire raging and spreading unstoppably, Lu and Jiang suddenly turned around and left.
By the time Lu Ran came to his senses, the fire was already out of control.
She quickly ran out from the corner and shouted: "Mom!"
No one answered her.
She ran towards the office with the biggest fire in a panic. After running a few steps, she suddenly saw Lu Yiyun.
It turned out that she was still in that office. The fire in that office was so fierce that it seemed as if the whole room was burning, but she was just lying on the ground, motionless.
"Mom--" Lu Ran was a little frightened, shouted again, and ran over there desperately.
But there was fire all around her, and as she got closer, a tongue of fire suddenly jumped out from beside her, burning her arm.
"Wow--" The pain hit, and Lu Ran burst into tears instantly.
The fire became more intense, and she was completely disoriented. She was holding her injured arm, crying and looking around in a daze, when she suddenly saw Lu Yujiang again.
He stood at the door of the office, outside the flames, looking at the fire and her in the fire with cold eyes.
"Uncle..." Lu Ran cried out to him, asking for help, "Uncle, it hurts..."
Lu Yujiang stood motionless.
That little figure was surrounded by fire, as if it would be completely swallowed up by the fire in the next second.
That was also the little girl he truly loved.
He obviously dislikes children the most, but because he loves Lu Yiyun, he also loves her daughter who was born to someone else.
That soft and sweet little girl is beautiful and well-behaved, but also quiet and shy.
But no matter how shy he is, a child can't hide his emotions. Lu Yujiang can tell that this child actually likes him very much.
She likes him because he is good to her, and the reason why he is good to her is because of Lu Yiyun.
But Lu Yiyun completely betrayed him - so she deserves to die!
Her daughter deserves to die too!
Lu Yujiang's face was extremely gloomy, and just when he was about to turn around and leave, Lu Ran's cry suddenly became heartbreaking——
"Mom, it hurts, it hurts...Uncle, it hurts..."
Through the thick smoke and flames, Lu Yujiang seemed to see her face.
On that face, there were eyes carved in the same mold as Lu Yiyun, staring at him, weeping helplessly.
Just like the moment before Lu Yiyun died.
She has always had a strong temper, and her eyes have always been calm and firm, as if nothing could faze her.
But when his hand was stuck on her throat, he saw panic and fear in her eyes for the first time.
He thought that she probably wanted to show weakness to him, but... it was too late!
