After being suffocated for a long time, coupled with how tormented she was just now, Xu Liunian was basically unable to stand up anymore. She could only use one hand to support her upper body and the lamppost to support herself as she sat up with her back leaning against the lamppost.
At this time, the expression in her eyes had already become clear, and the face of Lu Jianqing in front of her had also become quite a bit clearer. She did not know how to start.
However, after a long period of silence, she did not say a single word. Perhaps she had nothing to say, or perhaps her hoarse voice made it difficult for her to make a sound.
Seeing that she had regained consciousness, Lu Jianqing asked coldly, "Why are you unwilling to admit it?"
Her lips trembled slightly as she opened her mouth to speak with all her might, "I've never done it before, why would I admit it?"
The moment the sound was heard, it shattered into pieces, like an old rag being torn apart.
"Xu Liunian, do you need money?"
Lu Jianqing suddenly asked, his tone filled with contempt, "If you lack money, I can give you whatever you want, I can give you whatever you want."
Xu Liunian raised her head to look at him and a sentence was about to come out.
I want your love, will you?
However, she did not say it. She knew that it was only her extravagant hope. She could not get the answer she wanted. Rather than waiting hopelessly for the answer she wanted, it was better to not give herself the chance.
In fact, she didn't know why, but even if she had to use all her strength to ask Lu Jianqing for help, she wouldn't bow her head to him. Even if she had to ask Cen Linrong for help, she didn't want to ask him for money.
It was like begging, and to the people she cared about the most. She couldn't do that.
"I don't want money."
Even if she knew that if she nodded, Lu Jianqing would definitely help her pay the penalty fee for Muse, she still did not nod his head.
This was the only bit of pride she had. This was the only thing she had that made her stand up straight in front of Lu Jianqing.
"Then what do you want!?"
Lu Jianqing asked angrily again, he did not understand this woman, he could see through all the women in the world, and was the only one.
"Are you a woman born to be dissolute? Only in the midst of men do you feel happy? "
She would rather Lu Jianqing misunderstand that she was being unruly than show any sign of weakness in front of him.
She nodded dejectedly and smiled. "Yes, I am lacking in manhood, but I want to emphasize one last time. Today's matter has nothing to do with me. I was brought here without knowing it!"
Lu Jianqing scoffed, "Everyone has seen it, and I've also given you a chance to explain yourself. But it was you who couldn't explain yourself, so stop mentioning Liu Guangqing, because I know that it's impossible for him to come out of jail."
Where did this self-confidence come from? Back then, it was Lu Jianqing who put him in the prison, so why would she give him the chance to come out?
She seemed to be exerting all her strength. Even if her throat was about to be torn, she still had to say it.
"But why would I do that, Lu Jianqing? Can you give me a reason to do this? "
She did not know why Lu Jianqing would believe in such a ridiculous thing. Ever since his sister died, she had never seen the Old Master Lu again.
It was the kind of relationship that would not even leave an impression if they met on the streets. Why would she set her sights on Old Master Lu?
"Lu Jianqing, why are you so unwilling to believe me? "I've said it before, I will admit what I've done, but I've never done it. Even if you really strangled me to death, I won't admit it!"
After saying this, she seemed to have used up all her strength. She leaned against the lamppost, her chest heaving up and down as if she was about to fall ill again.
The corner of Lu Jianqing's mouth moved slightly. Looking at Xu Liunian who was dejectedly sitting on the ground, he tightly clenched his fists.
Right now, he simply could not tell if Xu Liunian was speaking the truth or if she was pretending to be hysterical just to deceive him.
Seeing his silence, it was as if Xu Liunian won a battle of attrition. Her stamina gradually recovered, and she struggled to lean against the lamppost as she rubbed herself against it. Lu Jianqing was still wearing his coat.
This was a rare type of warmth, but she shouldn't have been greedy. She took off her clothes, and a wave of coldness hit her back. This type of warmth caused her to uncontrollably shiver.
"I'll return the clothes to you. I'm leaving."
She was unable to describe how she felt. It wasn't just her body that was feeling weak. She felt that not a single part of her body belonged to her. Her current actions were completely subconscious.
The hand that was holding onto the clothes even started to shake. Lu Jianqing did not accept it, but opened his mouth and said, "Take it away!"
What was this? Pity her? She didn't need it.
If not for my sister, I would never have known who you were in my entire life. My sister has already left, so we should return to our own tracks. I don't care who you will marry in the future, don't worry about how miserable my life will be. "
She wanted to draw a clear line between them. She couldn't pester them like this any longer. The one that would be injured this way would only be herself.
"Don't come any closer to me, and don't care about me. Otherwise, I will only think too much. When that time comes, I will be even more unable to come out. I hope that you can pity me and not get any closer."
With that, Xu Liunian stuffed all the clothes into his hands, and without caring if he held the clothes back or not, she turned and left.
It was true that the clothes were expensive, but they had already draped over her body. Maybe Lu Jianqing would throw it away when he got back!
Rather than waiting for Lu Jianqing to take the clothes, it would be better to just walk around freely like this.
She listened intently, but did not hear anything. Lu Jianqing did not chase after him, nor did he go back.
What are you doing here? She was very curious, but she would never look back.
He slowly walked away from the Lu Family, from Lu Jianqing's life, and from this disgusting society.
Lu Family was very remote. After walking for a very long time, she finally saw a street with light shining on it. She did not have a phone nor money, and she did not know what time it was.
Originally, the dim lighting wasn't that obvious, but after arriving on the brightly lit street, her dressing was especially eye-catching.
Even though it had already taken her one to two hours to walk here, the streets outside were still packed with cars and the night life of Jin City had only just begun.
She wanted to laugh. Sure enough, money was a very important thing.
