Hearing this, Xu Zhongshi clenched his hands and placed them on his knees, with veins bulging on the back of his hands.

He suddenly looked at Lu Shanqing. Twenty years later, they were both old.

But he is still as noble as before.

Scenes of the past appeared before his eyes, and Xu Zhongshi felt the powerlessness brought by the word "regret" for the first time.

If he hadn't colluded with Meng Lanying, would everything be different now?

Over the years, he has seen the shadow of Lu Shanqing between Xu Yu's eyebrows countless times. The father and daughter look very similar.

The Xu family has never had a girl as beautiful as Xu Yu, so her existence is like an alternative.

After a long time, there was a deep, muddy sound in the living room.

"Captain, I was wrong."

"..." Lu Shanqing did not answer.

“At the beginning, I was too ambitious and was not willing to be a first mate on the island forever and spend my whole life like this.

Later, I married Meng Lanying. She told me that she had relatives in China, so we agreed to return to the mainland to start a business together.

But starting a business requires a large amount of start-up capital. Many years ago, I first went to sea independently. The ship ran aground on the rocks. It was an illusion created by me. I embezzled the entire ship's cargo and planned to return to China with Meng Lanying for development.

It happened that there was civil strife in Kashima during that time, so Meng Lanying and I were able to successfully steal the child out.

You know, I liked Chen Dai before, and maybe it was because of that little bit of liking for me that I accidentally stole the child with Meng Lanying.

Meng Lanying did not return directly to China. Instead, she took her child to live in country C for a year, bribed the doctor there, and forged a paternity test certificate.

I was also very surprised about this paternity test, but Meng Lanying never told me why.

At this point, I have nothing to defend, Captain, I'm sorry. "

……

"People always have to pay the price for their actions. Xu Zhongshi, I have never looked down on you in the past 20 years, but my regard for you has resulted in more than 20 years of separation between me and my daughter."

There was not much emotion on Lu Shanqing's face. He was past the age of emotional importance.

Lu Shanqing looked back at Xu Zhongshi and said, "Maybe it's my fault. I shouldn't have taken you to sea 30 years ago."

……

When Xu Zhongshi returned home, Meng Lanying immediately stepped forward worriedly.

"Honey, where have you been? I'm almost dying of anxiety. If you don't come back, I'm afraid I'll go to the police station and call the police."

Xu Zhongshi waved his hand and entered the study without saying a word to her.

Meng Lanying sensed something was wrong and followed her into the study.

"what happened?"

She stared at Xu Zhongshi, bound to make him tell him the reason today.

Xu Zhongshi also stared at her.

For the first time in his life, he felt that this woman was vicious.

And he himself was no better.

"I met Lu Shanqing today. He came to City B."

Hearing these words, Meng Lanying suddenly felt like she was facing a formidable enemy.

"What did he come to city B for? Did he recognize you?"

Xu Zhongshi stared at her with an expressionless face.

"Why are you afraid? I always thought that if you could steal his child, you would be fearless."

Meng Lanying frowned, "Xu Zhongshi, what do you mean by being so weird? What's wrong with you?"

"Meng Lanying, why did you have to steal Lu Shanqing's child in the first place, and why did you declare that Xu Yu was the daughter you picked up and at the same time forge a paternity certificate? What was your purpose in doing all this?"

Xu Zhongshi suddenly discovered that after so many years of marriage, he had never known what kind of person Meng Lanying was.

Meng Lanying's steps were unsteady, she clenched her fingers and walked out without saying anything.

……

The bankruptcy of the Xu family gradually faded out of Xu Yu's life.

She has long lost her relationship with that family, so naturally she won't pay too much attention to their affairs.

That night, Xu Yu knocked on Lu Chun's door with a glass of milk.

"Xiao Chun, don't work too hard. If you don't pass the exam, I will spend money to get you into B University." Xu Yu said half-jokingly.

Lu Chun was really working too hard during this period, and she felt distressed when she saw it.

Lu Chun took a few sips from the milk cup, raised his head and smiled sweetly at Xu Yu.

"Thank you sister."

Xu Yu rubbed her hair, and suddenly saw a piece of gauze on the back of her neck from the corner of his eye.

"Were you injured at school today?" Xu Yu asked worriedly, staring at the piece of gauze.

Lu Chun's eyes moved slightly, and then he raised his hand and touched his neck, "I accidentally got scratched by a tree branch, sister, don't worry, it will be fine soon."

Xu Yu frowned and nodded, and warned: "Be careful when walking in the future. Our little Chun is so beautiful, but it won't be perfect if it leaves scars."

"Sister, I have a scar removal physique."

Lu Chun gave a rare playful wink.

After Xu Yu left, Lu Chun immediately stood up and locked the door.

Then he walked to the bed and took off all the clothes on his body. His fair body was covered with wounds of all sizes.

Some have scars, some have turned into scars, some are bleeding, and some are covered with gauze.

This is the price of the gods leaving.

She serves as a vessel for the gods, and when the gods leave, she is scarred.

Lu Chun endured the pain and found the medical kit, treated the newly appeared wounds, and then put on a long cartoon villain pajamas.

I turned off the desk lamp and was about to go to bed when there was a slight noise outside the window.

Lu Chun immediately sat up, and at the same time, the glass door of the balcony was pushed open.

"You..." Seeing the person coming, Lu Chun immediately lifted the quilt and got out of bed and turned on the light.

Suiyan was dressed in black, which was quite scary at night.

Suiyan dusted off his hands and flexed his wrists.

"The bodyguards here are pretty good. It took a lot of effort to get through."

Lu Chun frowned, "If you want to come, just go through the front door. Anyway, my sister won't kick you out. Come here so late, have you had dinner?"

"not yet."

Lu Chun opened the bedside table drawer and took out many snacks for him to eat.

"That's all for now."

She guessed that he probably didn't want to be exposed, so she didn't intend to let others know that he was here.

Suiyan didn't eat. The reason why he came here late at night was for another reason.

"How is your injury?"

Suiwan looked her up and down.

Lu Chun paused, and the hand holding the cookie tightened unconsciously.

"how do you know?"

"The island owner said it."

Pulling her hair aside, Suiyan looked at the wound on her neck, feeling unspeakably distressed.

He handed her a small porcelain bottle, "Trauma medicine, I got it from Grandpa Yu."

Grandpa Yu is a well-known old Chinese medicine doctor on the island. Most of the medicines he gives are priced but not available.

"Thank you."

After Lu Chun fell asleep, Sui Yan left.

Before leaving, he almost used all his strength to gently kiss the back of her hand.

Under the pale moonlight, no one could see the countless deep feelings in the man's eyes.

Sui Yan doesn't want anything, he just wants the girl he loves to be happy.

This is his only wish.
