Chapter 13 Evening Star

The chain shopping malls jointly acquired by Lu and Shen have started smoothly. In more than a year, they have turned losses into profits, and a large amount of cash flow has begun to come in. After the marriage has also experienced a turmoil of changing people, it has slowly turned the direction of public opinion. .

The Shen family held a dinner party, and the Lu family followed closely.

On such occasions, both Shen Hewei and Lu Wanxing had to come forward.

Since Lu Wanxing and Lu Xi had a quarrel at Lu's house, this is the second time to go back after the Chinese New Year.

During the Chinese New Year, Lu Wanxing was always by Shen Hewei's side.

Lu Xi's mother didn't show up as usual, so after putting down the New Year ceremony, Shen Wenhua and Lu Zerong said a few words, didn't stay long, and rushed to the next scene.

But this time was different, Shen Hewei had busy business to do, Lu Wanxing only followed for a few minutes before being called away by Shen Hedong with excuses.

He could see Lu Wanxing's rejection of the Lu family, and knew that he was not comfortable staying there, so he took a glass of wine and followed him not too far away, occasionally talking to Lu Wanxing.

After Shen Hewei's speech, the dinner officially began.

Lu Xi also came back from school.

This successful cooperation not only benefited the Shen family, but also doubled Lu Zerong's worth, and Lu Xi followed suit.

He is only a few months older than Lu Wanxing, but he combs his hair back, wears a pair of shiny leather shoes, and has logos all over his body. The age gap instantly widens, like a young version of Lu Zerong, a smug little guy.

Shen Hedong tried his best in the public relations field, but failed to stop Lu Xi, and finally asked him to come to Lu Wanxing's side.

"I heard that you are famous?" Lu Xi said, "I didn't expect you to be famous for your paintings."

Lu Wanxing said, "Yes."

Lu Xi paused, frowned, and said, "If you say you're fat, you'll pant? Why don't you just publish a picture book and think you've become Gauss?"

Lu Wanxing said, "You want to talk about Gauguin?"

Lu Xi was so angry that his hands shook, his eyes glared, and he raised his hand to pour wine on Lu Wanxing.

With a fierce look on his face: "You fucking star! I really think it's great to study for a few days? Your school, I didn't say that there are more cooks than teachers, is it a pigsty? No one told me about your classroom. Thought it was a public restroom!"

Lu Wanxing went to the same university as him, but in the north and south campuses, there was no one who slapped himself in the face. If he wanted to scold him, he could only scold Lu Wanxing's high school.

It's also in the eastern suburbs of Haicheng, but it's a 10-minute drive from his and Ding Fanhui's residence.

There are more than 200 students in the whole school, and there are fewer people in the graduating class.

It is enough to set up a few desks in each classroom of arts and sciences. His head teacher once joked that he called it "excellent teaching".

The year Ding Fanhui was hospitalized after fainting at Lu's house, Lu Wanxing lived in school not long after he was promoted.

Lu Xi went to school to look for him, and the first thing he said when they met was "Lu Wanxing, this crappy school is really hard to find, and your mother is dead".

Lu Wanxing's tears flowed to the hospital, and she couldn't walk, so she was sent there by the homeroom teacher on a motorcycle, and found that Ding Fanhui was receiving an infusion in the pheromone isolation room, and she was fine.

The homeroom teacher was still in a hurry to go back to class, and he didn't know Lu Wanxing very well yet, so he couldn't bear the look in his eyes at Ding Fanhui, so he explained a few comforting words from the nurse, saying that he was fine, and left in a hurry.

Lu Wanxing stayed outside the isolation room until night, squatting silently by the wall. He was 1.7 meters tall, but he still looked pitiful.

After Ding Fanhui was transferred to the general ward, he was able to pat his head.

Lu Wanxing anxiously asked the reason, but Ding Fanhui only said it was an "old problem".

After a while, she leaked the truth, but Lu Wanxing found out that she passed out at the Lu's house, so she immediately wanted to settle the score with Lu Zerong.

"He's not at home, what are you going to do?" Ding Fanhui had a silly smile on his face, as if the matter was far from that serious, "It's okay, mom, don't cause trouble."

"I didn't want to get in trouble."

"Lu Xi was looking for you? He wasn't at home yesterday. He must have come back from school today. I'll run to tell you when I hear about it."

Lu Wanxing thought it was Ding Fanhui sent by Lu Xi.

Ding Fanhui said: "It's the son of the Shen family. I remember, it's called Shen Hewei. You've seen it before, but you probably don't remember it."

Lu Wanxing really didn't remember it, it was already a very young age.

He held Ding Fanhui's hand and muttered, "They still have some humanity."

"What are you talking about?" Ding Fanhui said, "Don't be rude."

"understood."

Ding Fanhui was not in good spirits, after a few words, he became sleepy.

Before falling asleep, she asked Lu Wanxing to eat the fruit in the fruit basket, saying that Shen Hewei sent her over yesterday, and came again at night with something to bring.

Lu Wanxing flipped through the fruit basket, and there was a card on the top, which simply said "I wish you a speedy recovery".

Ding Fanhui has always had the habit of doodling. When Lu Wanxing was waiting outside the isolation room, she drew a curled up puppy on the card.

On the back of the card is an aerial photo of the hospital.

It seems to be bought in the small supermarket of the hospital.

Before Ding Fanhui was hospitalized, Lu Wanxing wanted to buy apples for her, only to find out that the apples in the hospital supermarket were probably not the same variety as the ones in the supermarket downstairs, because the price difference was several times.

The next day, Lu Wanxing was driven back to class by Ding Fanhui, and when he went to the hospital at night, he found a new fruit basket and a bucket of seafood porridge.

Ding Fanhui said that it was the Shen family's son who asked someone to send it over.

At that time, Lu Wanxing didn't know how serious Ding Fanhui's situation was. He only thought that the Shen family's son was not only rich, but also a good person.

Not long after, the Robot Contest for College Students was held in Haicheng.

When Lu Wanxing came home on the weekend, he saw the public welfare announcement on the electronic screen at the bus stop, and also saw the name of the leader of one of the groups, Shen Hewei.

For the first time, he skipped an afternoon class to watch the game that he didn't know was interesting.

The only thing he got that day was that he felt that while Shen Hewei was rich and good-looking, he was also handsome.

Less than a year later, Ding Fanhui committed suicide, and the autopsy report was full of blood.

Lu Wanxing returned to the home where he would be alone from now on, looking at the two empty fruit baskets that Ding Fanhui had not forgotten to take away after he was discharged from the hospital, and now there were carefully arranged flowers.

And scrubbed clean, was placed in a high heat insulation bucket.

Lu Wanxing realized that that was actually the only kindness Ding Fanhui had felt in the endless struggle and pain, and in the life that took a turn for the worse after the age of 25.

Lu Xi's wine was half poured, and he was forced to turn around.

Except for a few drops that fell on Shen Hewei's wrist, the rest was spilled on the ground.

Shen He embraced Lu Wanxing calmly, and walked towards Shen Hedong, thinking that they had secretly hidden Chen Cang before their marriage, Lu Xi was furious, and wanted to shake off the ugliness of this family, and called Lu Wanxing's name two steps away, saying : "You really look exactly like your mother, you..."

"Lu Xi." Shen Hewei said, "Don't say things that can't end the scene."

He put Lu Wanxing's hand on Lu Wanxing's waist naturally, his tone was flat, and his expression was very calm.

The distance between the three of them was not too far, so they didn't attract the attention of unrelated people at all.

But just staring at Lu Xi, the sense of oppression is gone.

Lu Xi's face was ugly, his chest heaved up and down when he breathed, and his brows were tightly frowned. It was obvious that he was still not used to someone intervening in his grievances with Lu Wanxing under pressure.

But he finally shut up and turned away angrily.

There was a family banquet in the evening, and Shen Zhaoling also came, but he didn't stay for the whole time, he showed his face, heard a few words of "one generation is better than one generation", and then left the table.

It wasn't too early, Shen Hewei asked Lu Wanxing to follow Shen Zhaoling back.

Before getting into the car, Lu Wanxing asked, "Are you still drinking?"

Shen Hewei said, "Don't drink."

Lu Wanxing said, "Then you come and pick me up."

Shen Hewei did not directly agree, but only said: "Go to bed early, don't wait."

The banquet was still lively, Lu Zerong drank so much that his face was flushed, and after drinking for three rounds, he got up high and frequently mentioned Shen and Wei.

First praise him for his excellence, and then say that he is married to Lu Wanxing and that he is also his son.

After a few words were mentioned by others, he suddenly became sober, and gradually he talked less.

Shen Hewei didn't stay long, and was about to leave.

Feeling guilty, Lu Zerong politely sent him to the car alone, and explained all the way.

"I don't mean that, I mean...I mean, you are married to Wan Xing. Although he has a stubborn temper, he can actually endure a lot. You guys live well, it's good for both families, as long as you don't do it wrong." Evening Star won't be angry if it's too much."

Seeing Shen Hewei's complexion getting worse and worse, it was several times uglier than when he said Shen Hewei was his son at the wine table just now - at that time, Shen Hewei actually didn't show anything, as if he didn't hear anything.

It was only then that Lu Zerong recalled the matter of Zha Shen and Wei's private life a long time ago, racked his brains, and tried his best to make up for it: "I know, you are young and high-minded, and you don't like those messy things. Uncle drank too much, don't be common sense."

"However, if there is something wrong with Evening Star, you can tell uncle... hey, he is really stubborn, his mother is gone, he is still a child, and he would not take a penny from us. Before we married you, he was already I haven't been to the house for several years, and I haven't seen a single face...Who has such a stubborn child, you..." Shen Hewei took a little bigger steps, and threw away the drunk Lu Zerong.

The driver was already waiting in the car, Shen Hewei said, "Let's go to Grandpa's first."

As soon as the car drove into the courtyard gate, Lu Wanxing ran out, opened the door and got into the car.

The lights in Shen's house were almost turned off, it seemed that he had been waiting in the lobby on the first floor.

"I knew you'd come to pick me up."

Lu Wanxing smiled with his eyes bent, Shen Hewei sat upright, he leaned over, resting his head on his shoulder, and complained: "I'm too tired today, I'm going to sleep for 48 hours at a stretch!"

The car quickly drove out of the Shen family's house again.

The street trees on both sides receded one by one, cutting the street lights into several regular sections.

Shen Hewei looked ahead, was silent for a moment, and asked Lu Wanxing, "Why did you borrow money from me?"

In November of that year, they slept together, Lu Wanxing left early in the morning and went back to school, Shen and Wei also went to work.

In the middle of the afternoon, Shen Hewei received a call from him, saying that he wanted to borrow money. Lu Wanxing said that he needed 8 yuan.

Not long after Shen Hewei separated from him that morning, he drew up a formal breakup speech, determined not to entangle, and didn't think much at all. Before he finished speaking, he sent him a sentence "If you still have self-esteem, don't bother me again", hang up the phone.

That's the last time you go to bed.

In the wechat sent by Lu Xi, he analyzed the reasons why Lu Wanxing dated so many boyfriends: Since his mother died, he hasn't taken a penny from the Lu family, and if he doesn't find a man, how can he live?

Just now, Lu Zerong also said that he hadn't been back to Lu's house for several years.

But Lu Wanxing spoke to him, even though it was only once, but the tone was not even embarrassing, it was not as high-minded as Lu Xi and Lu Zerong said.

At least Shen Hewei didn't hear it - he took it for granted at the time.

Shen Hewei didn't expect that he could still completely recall the scene at that time. Lu Wanxing's voice was a little annoyed, and he asked him confidingly: "Shen Hewei, can you lend me 8 yuan? Because I heard Haicheng..."

Because of what?

Shen Hewei didn't finish listening to him.

Lu Wanxing leaned on Shen Hewei's shoulder and was silent for half a minute.

Shen Hewei called his name over and over again.

Lu Wanxing said softly, "Ah...that's because the urban management of Haicheng called and said that my mother's tomb had been leaking for several months, and it would cost 12 yuan to replace it."
