Chapter 1711 A Sentimental Person Doing a Ruthless Thing
It was already 11 o'clock in the night after watching a movie. 11 o'clock in the evening in Tianjing is different from that in Donghai. At this time, the streets are deserted and there are very few pedestrians and vehicles.
Lu Shanmin held an umbrella, Han Yao held his arm, and the two walked aimlessly on the street.
Black hair, long dress, drizzle and breeze.
Han Yao leaned slightly on Lu Shanmin's shoulder, and her eyes fell on Lu Shanmin's face. There was a hint of melancholy in this cold face, and a faint uneasiness in the fortitude.
She loves this man, and because of love, she feels very distressed.
She wanted to comfort him, but she didn't know how to speak.
Lu Shanmin joked: "What are you doing, haven't you seen a handsome guy?"
Han Yao felt even more distressed for no reason. Instead of finding Lu Shanmin's joke funny, her eyes turned red.
Lu Shanmin saw a layer of mist on Han Yao's light blue eyes out of the corner of his eye and was a little confused.
"What's wrong"?
Han Yao blinked her eyes and said, "Men are strange creatures. They obviously have a hard and tiring life, but they insist on pretending as if nothing has happened."
Lu Shanmin said: "Women are also strange creatures. They have nothing to do but insist on making a fuss about it."
Han Yao said unconvinced: "???????????????? Men just have tough words."
Lu Shanmin said slowly: "Women are soft-hearted."
Han Yao pouted, "I'm talking to you very seriously."
Lu Shanmin shook his shoulders slightly, "I'm not very casual either."
Han Yao sighed and said faintly: "Mountain people, I know you have always felt guilty about me, but do you know, what I fear most is your guilt."
Lu Shanmin also sighed softly and murmured: "Yao Yao, you should have lived a better life, a man who does his duty, a stable home, a peaceful and happy life
.It was me who ruined your life.”
Han Yao leaned on Lu Shanmin's shoulder and shook her head slightly, "Shanmin, you are wrong. No one in the world can live a stable and happy life. Even if someone could, it would not be me, Han Yao."
Lu Shanmin subconsciously clenched the umbrella handle.
Han Yao continued: "If you think about everything together, you will understand."
"What do you want to understand?" Lu Shanmin asked subconsciously.
Han Yao said slowly: "When you were in Tianjing Finance, you were so obviously and deliberately approaching me. My father couldn't have known it, but he didn't stop him. Of course, he had his own excuse, saying that your grandfather had an affair with the Han family.
Friendship, but if you think about it carefully, this reason is not sufficient. No matter how good the friendship is, it will not cost the life of your biological daughter."
Han Yao exhaled and continued: "During that time, I often sneaked into my dad's study to check your information. At that time, I thought I had the talent to be an agent. Later, when I thought about it carefully, what kind of person was my dad?
Ah, if he doesn't want to show it to me, let alone me, even a real agent can't see it."
"Also, where do you have the information that says it is so good? Some of the descriptions in it are obviously exaggerated."
Seeing the surprised expression on Lu Shanmin's face, Han Yao raised her head from Lu Shanmin's shoulders and said proudly: "What? You didn't expect me to be so smart."
Lu Shanmin's hand holding the umbrella extended a thumb, "really smart."
Han Yao hugged Lu Shanmin's arm tightly and said: "So, you really don't need to feel guilty about me. My life has never been in my own hands. Even if I don't want to be with you, my dad will find a way
This has contributed to today’s situation.”
Han Yao looked up at the sky, "From the moment I was born, I was destined to be a pawn on the Han family's business chessboard."
Lu Shanmin stopped and looked at Han Yao blankly, with tears in her eyes.
"Mom said, if you raise your head when you want to cry, the tears won't stay."
Lu Shanmin reached out and wiped the corners of Han Yao's eyes. He would rather Han Yao never see through this layer, but he still underestimated Han Yao's wisdom.
"You think too much, maybe your dad just wants to fulfill your love."
Han Yao raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes with a bright smile on her face. "Don't treat me like a three-year-old child. I know my dad better than you do."
Lu Shanmin touched Han Yao's head and said, "He is also a poor child."
Han Yao also raised her hand and touched Lu Shanmin's head, "Yes, we are all poor children. So you really, really, really don't have to feel guilty towards me. If you say you are a fire pit, it is also my father's fault.
What pushed me in step by step has nothing to do with you.”
Lu Shanmin smiled and said, "After hearing what you said, I feel less guilty."
Han Yao nodded heavily, "That's right. Besides, being able to meet you, a fire pit that I am willing to jump into, is God's greatest favor to me. If I miss your fire pit, my dad will arrange it for me."
If I don't want to be in another fire pit, then you can tell me how miserable I will be."
Lu Shanmin hummed thoughtfully, "So what? I rescued you, so you have to thank me."
Han Yao curled her lips, stretched out a finger and poked Lu Shanmin's forehead, "You are really out of breath after saying you are fat."
Lu Shanmin looked at Han Yao blankly, making Han Yao's chest jump wildly. He imitated the tone of Lu Shanmin's words before, "What are you doing? Have you never seen a beautiful woman?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Shanmin hugged Han Yao in his arms. "Yao Yao, thank you."
Han Yao's mind went blank for a while, and it took her a long time to react, and she hugged Lu Shanmin's back tightly with both hands.
A warm breath spread throughout my body, and my heart was filled with unprecedented security and warmth.
Both of them quietly enjoyed the warmth in the silence, just like two people shivering in the cold winter hugging each other closely and unable to bear to separate.
Recently, Lu Shanmin often recalled what his grandfather said: the monk sat in meditation to become a Buddha, and he practiced calligraphy to seek peace of mind.
Peace of mind, this word that he once couldn't understand, now he finally understands it.
Han Yao deeply embraced Lu Shanmin's arms and choked with sobs in an almost pleading tone: "Shanmin, don't you like Wang Yangming's philosophy of mind very much? Make peace with yourself. You have not sorry to anyone, and you do not need to feel guilty towards anyone.
"
"Mountain people, follow your heart and do what you want to do. No matter separation, life or death, I can accept it. I don't want to see you live so hard."
"I don't expect it to last forever, even if it's just for a short time, it's enough for me."
Lu Shanmin stroked Han Yao's long hair and said slowly: "Fool, if you don't expect to last forever, I still expect that the sea will dry up and the rocks will rot."

Lu Shanmin lives not far from the Han family. When Zhang Kangtai of the Kangtai Group gave him this villa, he carefully considered the location of the villa.
However, Lu Shanmin did not agree with Han Yao's suggestion to send him home before going home alone. It was not that Lu Shanmin was worried that someone would do harm to Han Yao, but that he was still a little worried about letting a girl drive home alone in the middle of the night.
When sending Han Yao to Han's house, she met Han Xiaozhou and Chen Beitian who were also returning home.
Han Yao greeted Han Xiaozhou and Chen Beitian and then entered the villa. Han Xiaozhou waved to Lu Shanmin.
"Have a chat".
Lu Shanmin followed Han Xiaozhou into the pavilion in the yard. Next to the pavilion was a crystal clear pond. The water lilies in the pond were in full bloom. The street lights on the edge of the pond were reflected in the water, like a bright moon.
Han Xiaozhou said leisurely: "Although there is no moon in the sky, the pond is brightly lit at night, the lotus flowers are blooming, and the father-in-law is talking about the storm."
Lu Shanmin looked at Han Xiaozhou, who had a happy face, and seemed to be in a trance that he saw a calm and leisurely old father-in-law talking about his relationship with a very satisfied son-in-law.
In fact, he was not in a trance. The few lines of poetry he recited could be said to have been inspired by the occasion.
"Han," Lu Shanmin paused after saying the Korean word. He didn't know how to call Han Xiaozhou for a moment.
Han Xiaozhou said calmly: "Although we are engaged, we are not officially married yet. Just call me Uncle Han as before."
Lu Shanmin nodded, "Uncle Han is a caring person."
Han Xiaozhou didn't answer, and after a while he said: "I'm waiting for you to say 'but'."
Lu Shanmin looked at the lotus flowers in the pond quietly and said nothing.
Han Xiaozhou laughed and said to himself: "I'll tell you for you, but you do ruthless things, right?"
Lu Shanmin did not answer clearly, but said slowly: "Just say so."
Han Xiaozhou said slowly: "People with feelings do ruthless things. It seems incredible, but it is human nature. Others don't understand, but you understand."
.
Lu Shanmin looked towards the second floor of the villa, where the lights were on, a gap was opened in the middle of the curtains, and a figure was lying in the gap.
"Yao Yao is a good girl."
Han Xiaozhou said: "Not as selfish as Zeng Yaqian, not as domineering as Hai Dongqing, and not as innocent as Ye Zixuan, right?"
Lu Shanmin did not answer Han Xiaozhou's question and said slowly: "I think I am a strong enough man, but it still broke my heart when I learned that I was deceived by my biological father. Yaoyao is just a college graduate who has not yet experienced the world."
Little girl, you can imagine how sad she must be."
Han Xiaozhou said calmly: "I am very happy that you can help my daughter speak."
There was silence in the pavilion, and the two of them didn't speak again for a long time.
After a long silence, Han Xiaozhou slowly said:
"If you really feel sorry for Yaoyao, you can choose to let go of everything and live a stable life as an ordinary person."
Lu Shanmin looked at Han Xiaozhou. The latter's face was sincere, without any deliberate pretense, as if he was a father-in-law's sincere blessing to his daughter and son-in-law.
He believed that what Han Xiaozhou said at this time was true, because there was no need for Han Xiaozhou to use such despicable means to test him.
But would he just give up a chess piece that he had worked so hard for? As he said before, it was just human nature for him, Han Xiaozhou, to do ruthless things to people with feelings.
The revelation of true feelings tonight is true, but it is not true. Human nature is like this, it is not black and white. Let’s not say whether he can let it go. First of all, Han Xiaozhou will never allow him to let it go, and it is certain that he will never let it go.
"Uncle Han has always been idle, but he seems to be very busy recently."
Han Xiaozhou smiled slightly, "To a certain extent, we are the same people. We are all people who have escaped from low-level tastes, transcended simple secular morality, and pursued a higher realm of morality."
Lu Shanmin was noncommittal, "I don't have that high level of awareness. I just feel that there are some things that I haven't seen. But since I have seen them, I shouldn't turn a blind eye. Otherwise, it will be difficult to feel at ease."
Han Xiaozhou nodded, "Just seek peace of mind. It seems simple, but in fact, few people in the world can live with peace of mind."
