Taking a deep breath, Lu Tianxing looked at Luan Hongyue and said, "Are you still determined to die? If you want to go, I won’t stop you now."
"No, I’ve already died once. Now I completely understand. Rather than caring about others’ perceptions and living under their scrutiny, it’s better to live my life well. After all, life is for oneself to see, not for others. Besides, the Luan Family has already expelled . I have nothing to my na, so I can go to a place where no one knows and live an ordinary, simple life. Maybe that’s my true destiny."
At this mont, Luan Hongyue completely abandoned her ambitions. Only one thought remained in her mind: to leave this place of conflict, distance herself from all disputes, and beco an ordinary woman, devoted to her family, living for herself.
For over twenty years, she had lived in others’ worlds, under others’ judgnts, constantly facing layers of disguised faces. She was tired and weary. Now, she just wanted a simple, ordinary life.
Lu Tianxing looked at Luan Hongyue’s expression, took a deep breath, and said, "In that case, I respect your choice. If one day you change your mind, you can co to . The Yama Palace welcos you."
Saying this, Lu Tianxing picked up a piece of paper from the side, wrote down two phone numbers, and handed it to Luan Hongyue. Seeing Luan Hongyue’s puzzled look, he explained, "These are two numbers. No matter which number you call, just tell them I asked you to find her, and she will help you. Of course, this is just once. Or if you think it over, you can also call this number, as a kind of compensation from to you."
This ti, Luan Hongyue did not refuse Lu Tianxing’s kindness. She slowly accepted the note, folded it, and put it into her pocket. Looking at Lu Tianxing, she said, "Mr. Lu, thank you. If there’s nothing else, Hongyue will take her leave."
Lu Tianxing nodded and said, "Take care, Miss Luan."
"Mr. Lu, you take care too. This life’s great kindness and virtue, Hongyue will never forget. If there is a next life, Hongyue will surely repay Mr. Lu’s great favor as a bull or a horse."
Luan Hongyue took a deep breath, gathered unknown courage, lifted her head, kissed Lu Tianxing on the cheek, and seeing his stunned expression, she smiled beautifully: "Mr. Lu, you are a good person. If I had t you earlier, maybe I would have fallen in love with you. But it’s too late now. Goodbye, Mr. Lu. Oh, and Mr. Lu, be careful of Jiang Haochen. He is very dangerous."
After saying this, Luan Hongyue said nothing more, opened the car door, stepped out, and walked away.
Watching Luan Hongyue’s departing figure, Lu Tianxing saw a trace of desolation, a sense of release. For Luan Hongyue, perhaps this was the best outco—no more scheming, no more deceit, just living for herself. This might be her truest self.
"Alas, perhaps this result is not bad for you! The world is unpredictable, and I wish you a safe journey."
Lu Tianxing shook his head, took a deep breath. From now on, Jiangnan would be without Luan Hongyue, and without the Red People Club.
Until Luan Hongyue disappeared from sight, Lu Tianxing snapped back to reality, sighed deeply, started the car, and left the moat area.
However, as Lu Tianxing drove away from the moat, he didn’t notice a graceful figure slowly erging from the corner, silently watching him leave, lost in thought.
"Lu Tianxing, you are a good man, willing to fight for your woman without regrets. If I had t you a few years earlier, I would surely have fallen in love with you. A smile can dissolve past grievances, and many years later, Mr. Lu, I will always rember you."
As Luan Hongyue watched Lu Tianxing’s car disappear from sight, crystal tears uncontrollably slid down her cheeks. She wasn’t sure if they were tears of joy for leaving her past life or tears of loss.
But when Lu Tianxing left, Luan Hongyue felt as though sothing in her heart had been emptied.
"The bright moon shines on the horizon, illuminating the face of reunion. So you were here all along, only ti never lies, crying while smiling, everyone carries wounds, if life were as it was at first sight, the sweet would not be bitter..."
At that mont, a faintly sorrowful ringtone ca from Luan Hongyue’s phone.
Hearing the ringtone, Luan Hongyue trembled slightly, instinctively took out her phone, glanced at the caller ID, and a wry smile appeared on her face. After a mont of silence, she answered the call.
As soon as the call connected, a gentle voice ca from the other end: "Hongyue, how are you? Where are you? Are you in danger? Do you need Daddy to pick you up and bring you ho?"
"Daddy!"
Hearing the voice on the phone, Luan Hongyue sneered and said, "Weren’t you the ones who expelled from the Luan Family and severed our father-daughter relationship? Why do you suddenly rember you’re my family again? Aren’t you afraid the Jiang Family will trouble you?"
"Hongyue, why are you speaking like this? Dad is doing this for the Luan Family. Our family, with dozens of people, depends on your father. Can’t you forgive him just once?"
The other end seed not to hear the sarcasm in Luan Hongyue’s words, as a female voice sounded beside the male one, clearly her mother, Zheng Xiu’e.
"Forgive you once?"
A mocking laugh appeared on Luan Hongyue’s face as she said coldly, "I have forgiven you many tis. Ever since you treated as a commodity to sell, I’ve tried to convince myself to forgive you, because you are my biological parents, who brought into this world."
"But for so many years, have you ever fulfilled your responsibilities as parents for even one day? You only ever took and took. In your eyes, I am just a tool for gaining interest. A tool, do you understand? Don’t think I don’t know why you’re calling now. Your information is correct; indeed, Mr. Lu rescued from the Jiang Family. Now, are you planning to sell to Mr. Lu, or incite to seduce him?"
At this point, Luan Hongyue’s tone beca a bit hysterical. These were her parents, always prioritizing their own interests. To get what they wanted, they were willing to abandon and sacrifice everything.
PS: Speechless, there’s so much to do when I get ho, like preparing for the New Year with loads of trivial tasks!!
