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 were like that in the snowy night. We hugged each other for warmth, and I was still talking to you in your ear, constantly encouraging you, and I said---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 together the fate of him and the entire Lu family.
