At the end of the day, Old Pan does not know many things. After all, according to him, he came with me. As for the Lu Family, it started after I left the country.
I don't understand.
I nodded in understanding. "Then why should I recognize you?"
"But after I left the country, I lost my memory once, didn't I?" At first glance, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
The Old Pan shook his head and said, "No, when you went abroad, you lost some of your memories, right? You remember your friends, your parents and family, but I accompanied you since you were young, why didn't you remember me?"
I started.
There is a word called "fear," and by now I know what it means.
If what Old Pan said was true, why would I suddenly forget about him.
I couldn't understand it, and the more I thought about it, the more scared I became.
"How do you want me to believe you first?"
I sat on the sofa, cold sweat pouring down my body. My body couldn't help but tremble. In the end, I asked this question.
"I said I don't want you to believe me. I'm telling you this because I want you to be alert and not be taken advantage of."
I looked at him worriedly and asked him in a suppressed voice, "You're talking about someone who is considerate, is that Mu Huainan?"
He didn't answer me.
But silence had replaced all answers.
When Old Pan left, he did not leave me his contact details, nor did he tell me how to find him. When I finally came to, sitting alone in the room, I realized that I couldn't find him at all.
I can only wait until Old Pan has something to tell me before I can wait for him to come find me.
Such an unreliable man, yet I foolishly took what he said seriously.
His phone suddenly rang. It was Mu Huainan who sent a message.
I stared at the phone screen for a long time. When I saw the three words "Mu Huainan", I felt dizzy and I was unable to calm down for a long time.
If what happened today was strange, like the TV show's 8 points, then detailing everything that had happened since I returned home was even weirder than this.
First a good company went bankrupt overnight, and then their parents died in the flames. Holding onto my last hope, I hugged my thigh, only to realize that this thigh was the childhood childhood childhood childhood sweetheart, and the most important man in my memories that I had lost.
I've spent these three years as if I was having fun.
I closed my eyes and wanted to sleep, even if it would make me lose consciousness. However, the moment my eyes closed, I could see every single detail of the past three years I had spent with Mu Huainan. My heart felt like it was being grasped by a hand, and the pain made it hard for me to breathe.
Why should I feel heartache?
I thought about that for a long time.
Because Mu Huainan lied to me? But he's been lying to me since the first day he saw me.
Because Mu Huainan might be related to my parents' deaths? That's why I suspect him. Is it because I'm stupid enough to be used by a traitor?
Or is it because he likes Lu Jingyu? From the beginning to the end, I was only a substitute for him.
Tears run down the corners of my eyes, but I'm too lazy to wipe them away.
Mu Huainan, you really are a big bastard.
After an unknown amount of time, the phone suddenly remembered that I had connected. It was Shen Xiuyuan.
"Little An An, did you miss your Uncle Yuan?"
He was as bad as ever, but I really didn't have the strength to mess around with him right now.
In the face of his high spirits, I only let out a sickly "En".
"What's wrong? If you're in a bad mood, will your results be good? " Shen Xiuyuan spoke very quickly, and it was difficult for me to interrupt him. "It's fine, you still have your Uncle Huainan if you don't pass the examination, even if it's Harvard and Cambridge, as long as you want to enter, your uncle can bring you in as he pleases."
Of course I know that Mu Huainan has that capability, but right now …
He couldn't help but sigh heavily.
"What's going on?" Shen Xiuyuan slowly realized that something was wrong and became serious.
"What happened?"
"Uncle Xiu Yuan." I asked him, "When did you and Uncle Huainan meet?"
"When your Uncle Huainan was peeing on the street in his flowery underpants, I called him Big Brother."
If they grew up together …
I couldn't help but ask, "Then do you know everything about him?"
"Um …" What's the matter, little An An, why are you suddenly so concerned about this? "
I have a lot of questions I want to ask, but I don't know how to ask Shen Xiuyuan.
"Why aren't you speaking?" The person on the other end of the line seemed to be in a hurry and called out my name twice. I'll come and find you now. Are you home? "
I came back to my senses and quickly refused. I didn't want him to see me like this.
"No need Uncle Xiu Yuan, I'm fine. I just wanted to ask if you know about a girl called Lu Jingyu."
Lu Jingyu, after saying these three words, the other side of the phone immediately fell into a deathly silence.
After a very long time, I finally heard Shen Xiuyuan's distant voice.
"An An, who told you that name?"
I thought about it, since I couldn't reveal the identity of the Old Pan, I said it randomly.
"Uncle Huainan shouted when he was asleep."
Silence again.
I couldn't wait any longer, so I asked, "Uncle Xiu Yuan, you must also know this person, right? Tell me, who is she and where is she now?"
"An'an." Shen Xiuyuan sighed: "A lot of things."
"Uncle Xiu Yuan, you really don't need to hide it from me. Sooner or later, I will find out. Moreover, this Lu Jingyu must be related to me, right?
My voice was shaky and I couldn't help but get excited.
"An'an." After a long while, Shen Xiuyuan's heavy sigh came from that side, along with a few words of helplessness, "Lu Jingyu is you, you are Lu Jingyu."
I was suddenly stunned.
Recalling the words of the Old Pan, saying that after I left the country, Lu Jingyu of the family existed in place of me in front of outsiders, so it was normal for Shen Xiuyuan to think that we were the same person.
But when he thought about it, there was something wrong.
"I left the country when I was ten. Uncle Xiu Yuan, you should know this, right?"
The person on the other side answered with a soft "yes".
He and Mu Huainan grew up together, so whatever Mu Huainan knows, he should know as well.
"But after I left the country, there was still Lu Weian at home. Don't you know?"
Shen Xiuyuan didn't answer. Even through the phone, I could feel the repressed shock and helplessness from the darkness in front of me. His breathing was deep and hurried, probably because he was panicked, I think.
"Anthea, many things are not what you think." Shen Xiuyuan opened his mouth after a long while: "Did someone come looking for you and tell you something?"
"Isn't it as I thought, wouldn't it be over if you told me the truth?"
I'm very stubborn. If I can't find out the truth, then I must find out.
"An'an …" He sighed, "No matter what happens in the future, you must remember that your Uncle Huainan will always be the best person for you."
"Everything he did, was for you."
I did not speak, and I did not believe it.
"Uncle Xiu Yuan, I need to rest."
I knew he didn't want to say it, so I didn't want to force it. I was really tired too, so I wanted to rest for a while.
"An'an …" He was still a little hesitant. "Report to university and seriously study. Don't think too much."
"Goodbye Uncle Xiu Yuan."
I didn't answer. I said goodbye and hung up.
Although I didn't get any useful information from Shen Xiuyuan, at least I am certain now that this matter is related to Mu Huainan.
Shen Xiuyuan will definitely go and complain to Mu Huainan, but I am not afraid, I will do whatever I need to do to stop him.
I am eighteen years old, and I have also seen Mu Huainan's most terrifying appearance.
I have nothing to worry about in this world, nothing to be afraid of.
