Welcome to the world of strange dreams

Luo Zhao stretched out his hand, but retracted it halfway.

"I'm going out for a cigarette." He said softly, stood up and left.

He felt that the atmosphere had reached a point where if he remained sitting there, he might not be able to fully express his true feelings.

He also believed that Fu Minghui could handle the next things on his own.

He was a workaholic who didn't smoke, drink, or have any other hobbies. Fu Minghui knew this very well and understood that he ran away to avoid suspicion.

So she gave him a look that said "don't worry".

Luo Zhao waved the phone in his hand, then felt his phone vibrating. He quickly and tacitly pressed the answer button without saying anything, and just put the phone upside down on the table.

At the same time, they stood up and sat next to Leng Jing.

The phone lay quietly on the table, so that Luo Zhao could hear everything she said to Leng Jing. After all, it was a case, and no information could be missed.

She sat outside in the sofa-style booth, which just surrounded Leng Jing and provided her with a safe little environment.

"You kid, you really don't need to worry about me." Leng Jing calmed down and said, "Although we haven't seen each other for a long time, or even talked for a longer time, I think your mother will mention me to you, right? So you should know that I am an unlucky person. You shouldn't care about me too much. It will bring you bad luck. If there is a God as you said, he must hate me."

"Well... let's not be too arrogant." Fu Minghui waved his hands. "There are so many people and things in the world. Believe me, God doesn't even know who you and I are, so he doesn't have time to target us."

"I'm so unlucky, isn't that a target?" He said calmly, but a little angry.

I'm not angry with Fu Minghui, I'm angry with fate.

"Fate is indeed unfair to Sister Leng, but everyone has bad luck. Am I not unlucky? I fell directly from the honey pot into the abyss." Fu Minghui said sincerely, and couldn't help sighing, his eyes a little sour, "Believe me, I know what it feels like to lose a loved one."

Moreover, her parents and close friends all died in such a violent way, which caused even greater psychological damage.

This time he calmly grabbed Fu Minghui's hand and said, "I'm sorry that I didn't show up when you needed help so much. But it's not that I don't want to help. I'm just afraid that I'll pass on bad luck to you again. You're already miserable and having a hard time."

Fu Minghui shook his head, "Actually, you helped me a lot, although not at that time."

Seeing the calm, surprised and puzzled look, Fu Minghui felt that things had to be solved one by one, and decided not to mention the matter of the black shadow creature for the time being. He only said, "But what I want to say is, don't always think that the unfortunate things happening around you are caused by you, okay? You are obviously the victim, how did you become the perpetrator? The theory that the victim is guilty is the most unacceptable."

"That's the truth..."

"The fact I see is that all your misfortunes are closely related to the person you call your mother," Fu Minghui said bluntly. "Your misfortunes are all caused by her. Even if it's not a direct influence, there is an indirect influence. Although fate is not a thing, she is indeed a driving force."

Seeing Leng Jing's bewildered look, she continued, "If she hadn't married into your Leng family for some kind of household registration, maybe your mother would be someone else. The trajectory of your life would also be different."

"If she hadn't left home and remarried without mercy less than a year after your father fell ill, and had abandoned her own children, your grandmother wouldn't have had to work so hard to take care of you three siblings after your father passed away."

"If the elderly had not suffered from illness due to overwork, they would not have died young."

"Your sister's disease runs in the family. There's nothing we can do about it."

"If she hadn't swindled all your money and assets and sold the house to pay off the debt, would your brother have dropped out of school and started working so early? Would he have driven so hard in order to own his own house earlier, resulting in a car accident?"

"Look, it was obviously her choice that made you suffer so much. Why do you think you have a hard life and are unlucky for your family? Even this view was instilled in you by her!"

"I've asked someone to tell the fortune, and it turns out that I do have a strong destiny..." He said calmly in a low voice. He didn't dare to look at Fu Minghui's face, but just stared at the traffic outside the window.

"Who did you ask to do your fortune-telling? Why didn't you ask my dad?" Fu Minghui said, "Many street fortune-tellers are good at judging people by their appearance. They will try to trick you into saying something and then make up a set of words based on your actual situation. Okay, okay..."

Seeing that Leng Jing was about to refute, she immediately tried to calm down and raised her hands in surrender.

In fact, Leng Jing is much older than her, and has much more life and social experience than her. Not to mention that he has reached middle and senior management positions in the company, so his work ability is beyond doubt.

However, as the saying goes, a single leaf can only blind one’s eyes. She was trapped in her own despair, like she was stuck in a dead end, and it was better for her, a “bystander”, to see things more clearly.

"Even if you have a tough fate, you have a good relationship with my parents and should have heard of Taoist ideas and the natural laws of the universe. You do so many good things and never tell others about them. That is accumulating good deeds. In that case, your fate can also change. Originally, a person's fate is not fixed. If it is destined from birth, then why should people work hard? Anyway, it is like this."

Fu Minghui also told her a story that her father told her.

He is Qiu Zu, the founder of the Quanzhen Longmen School. In his early years, there was a very famous fortune teller who told him that he would have a short life.

He thought to himself, since he was going to die early anyway, he might as well do something good for the people.

Because Qiu Zu was tall, he went to a fast-flowing river and carried the old and weak people across the river for free. He then returned to the mountain to practice at night.

As a result, he lived a long life and also attained enlightenment.

This is fate, which is predetermined by heaven, but it can also be changed by fate.

Of course, ordinary people do not have the fortune and understanding of Master Qiu, and it is even more impossible for them to practice hard in the mountains. But as long as they do what they can, Fu Minghui does not believe that their fate will not change.

Moreover, she was more convinced that it was her calm mother who directly or indirectly caused her miserable life.

Of course, we cannot shirk our responsibility for the injustice of fate.

"Sister Leng, you may be the heroine in the online novel. All the pain and frustration are the causes that make you rise up. Maybe when you look back with gray hair, you will feel that everything is just an experience. Even if it is a painful experience."

"How can I stand up again?" He smiled calmly.

Fu Minghui understood her deeply because she also felt life was boring after losing her parents and then Rourou.

To live, you need to have a goal, but she doesn't have one.

To live, you need something to work hard for, but she didn't have anything.

Luckily she eventually found it, before she completely collapsed.

The third update is completed.
