He was well aware that his own daughter-in-law had caused such a mess. In the end, he still sacrificed others to protect his Family Liang and his own reputation. So now that Liang Feifan had made such a request, Liang Wu-ming agreed without much consideration.
"Give me some time, I'll help you find her." He paused and asked, "Are you in First Hospital today?"
Liang Wu-ming had a close relationship with First Hospital. Chin Jin-hee was staying in First Hospital, so Liang Wu-ming was well aware of her daily situation. He asked this because he already knew that Chin Jin-hee was undergoing surgery today.
Liang Feifan grunted in acknowledgment.
Liang Wu-ming sighed softly and said, "Ah Fan, people need to be saved. It's a good thing that she's awake. I'm relieved that she didn't die. But after Chin Jin-hee wakes up, I don't want anything bad to happen to her. Do you understand? If you agree, I'll help you find her daughter. "
These words could be considered an exchange of conditions.
Liang Wu-ming also felt that he was being a little despicable, but he didn't have any other choice. Humans were selfish, so when it came to making choices, they would always consider themselves first.
Liang Feifan wasn't too surprised and agreed without hesitation. "I know."
After hanging up, he looked up again and glanced at the operating theater. The three words were lit up in red. He raised his wrist to look at the time. He still had to wait for a long time. His heart was in a mess and he couldn't calm down at all.
Bai Lu …
Bai Lu wondered where she should go or where she could go at this time.
She didn't know either.
She only remembered that after leaving the hospital, she had run forward in one breath. She only wanted to run as far away as possible because she couldn't face anyone. It was just like how she couldn't face those things.
It was said that the truth was cruel and those who didn't know were blessed.
He didn't feel it in the past, but now, he truly felt it.
She didn't know how to describe this feeling. All she knew was, she wouldn't hate anyone. It didn't matter if her father's death had anything to do with Liang Jiannan or if... Ye Zijie had single-handedly caused it. At least she was certain, at this moment, she didn't have the strength to hate anyone, nor did she have the courage to face anyone.
Especially Liang Feifan.
How was he going to face him?
He said, "Bai Lu, my father was involved in that incident, but it wasn't entirely his fault."
Was she supposed to believe him? Believe … It was such a simple word, yet how much pressure did it carry?
She wanted to believe him, but in the face of the cruel truth, she chose to escape.
She knew that no matter how far she went, Liang Feifan would eventually find her. She had never thought of not seeing him for the rest of her life. She was not the kind of person who could not distinguish right from wrong. In fact, she was already Mrs. Liang. Before he told her the truth, he had used a domineering tone to tell her, "You can know if you want to know, but after you know, you can't run away from me."
She had never thought of running away from him, but now she needed some breathing space to digest the whole thing.
…
She had lived in City A for so many years, but this was the first time she was like this. She had no money on her and her hands were empty. It seemed like she had even forgotten her phone in the ward. The only thing left on her body was probably the purple hair clip in her pocket.
Bai Lu didn't know how long she had been walking alone.
When he passed by the primary school, middle school, high school, and university of A City, he saw many youthful students playing basketball, running, and chatting in groups of twos and threes. They were at an age where they were carefree. When he passed by the shopping mall, he saw women with exquisite makeup who were shopping crazily. When he passed by the hotel, he saw successful people in well-ironed suits entering and exiting. When he passed by the canteen, he saw people sitting by the newspaper stand, flipping through today's headlines with smiles on their faces. It was probably called satisfaction. When he passed by the market, he saw men and women haggling over a few dollars …
She suddenly felt that this city was very big, and the people who lived here were very fulfilling.
But she, alone and lonely, experienced a kind of unprecedented despair and emptiness.
…
She had always known that there was a Mingyang Mountain in City A. It was said that one could live a simple and happy life after watching the sunset and the sunrise from the top of the mountain.
Bai Lu had never been there. In the past, she felt that people had to rely on themselves to fight for their happiness and happiness. What did it have to do with watching the sunrise and sunset?
But at this moment, she suddenly wanted to climb up and experience it. After watching the sunset and sunrise from the top of Mingyang Mountain, would it really be possible to forget all the pain and live a simple and happy life?
She had just recovered from a serious illness, so her stamina was naturally not as good as before. Mingyang Mountain was not difficult to climb because there were many people going up. The government had also developed this area into a tourist area, so there was a sidewalk in the middle of the mountain. The road was very flat, but after walking for a long time, she would still feel tired.
Bai Lu climbed all the way up. When she passed by the pavilion, she felt tired and sat for a while. Then she got up and continued climbing. By the time she reached the top of the mountain, it was already afternoon. She hadn't eaten and was especially hungry. She had nothing on her, so she sat weakly on a big rock. She reached out and held her forehead, narrowing her eyes to look at the scenery at the foot of the mountain.
It was as if the world below her had become smaller, and she was standing at such a high place. Her vision was blurry, but she could see clearly.
She closed her eyes and felt the slight breeze brush past her cheeks. She didn't feel cold. Instead, she felt comfortable and relaxed. She was completely relaxed.
"You're quite energetic. How does it feel to climb up?"
After some time, a deep male voice suddenly came from behind her. It was familiar. Bai Lu's heart skipped a beat, but in the next second, she heaved a sigh of relief.
It was familiar, but it wasn't the male voice that she was so familiar with in the depths of her soul. So — it wasn't him.
She didn't need to turn around to know who it was. When she opened her mouth, her voice was a little hoarse. After being blown away by the wind, the hoarseness in her soft and gentle female voice seemed to be neutralized, making her voice sound more delicate. "… How did you know I was here?"
"It's not hard to know where you are."
Chu Weiye came forward and sat beside her. He took out a piece of bread and a bottle of water from the plastic bag and handed them to her. "You only had a little breakfast. It's been a few hours. Aren't you hungry? Have some. "
Bai Lu turned around and glanced at him. "You've been following me all this time?"
"You can say that."
He placed the bottle of water on a rock at the side and raised one of his eyebrows. The wind messed up his black hair. The man, who was already elegant to begin with, seemed to have become sexier. "I was just about to leave the hospital when I saw you running out, so I followed you here."
Bai Lu pursed her lips. Now, she didn't dislike Chu Weiye. In fact, when she was helpless and vulnerable, there would always be a man who would stand up and try to help her. No one would push those hands away. Moreover, he didn't have any ill intentions.
She reached out to stroke her hair that was messed up by the wind and said in a low voice, "Fortunately, the person who followed me here was you. Otherwise, I don't know where I could hide."
Perhaps it was because this kind of place was too relaxing. Perhaps it was because there were too many things in her heart. Or perhaps it was because she always knew that Chu Weiye should know a lot of things.
She felt that at this moment, in front of him, she didn't need to hide her true feelings. He should be able to understand whatever she wanted to say.
Chu Weiye smiled. He helped her open the bread and held it in front of her. "If you want, I can always stand by your side. The people you don't want to see won't find you."
Bai Lu stared straight at the bread in his hand. She reached out, twisted a corner, and swallowed it. Then she looked up and suddenly smiled brightly at the man in front of her.
The wind messed up her long hair. She pursed her lips and smiled at him, but her eyes were curved. She was more dazzling than the stars in the sky. Chu Weiye only felt his heart, where the vines had entangled it, hurt even more.
"I just need to calm down. Space. I won't always run away from reality," she said.
Chu Weiye looked away awkwardly. He put the bread in his hand aside and frowned. "Don't smile at me like that."
Bai Lu was stunned. She also felt a little embarrassed. She didn't do it on purpose. "I'm sorry …"
"Why are you apologizing to me?"
"…" Actually, she didn't know. She just felt that she somehow owed him a lot.
She thought about it and said, "… I shouldn't smile at you like that."
"There are too many things that you shouldn't do to me."
Chu Weiye's lips curved into a bitter smile. It was probably because this kind of environment was too relaxing. As the two of them sat side by side, the man, who had always been meticulous and cunning, also shed the swift and decisive manner in the business world. On his handsome face, his brows relaxed, and some things couldn't help but come out of his mouth. "… Bai Lu, I never thought that one day, I would be sitting in a place like this with you."
Bai Lu didn't say anything. Chu Weiye looked at her soft side profile. His heart trembled violently, and his gaze gradually became infatuated. Some things really couldn't be distinguished. Was it because he wanted it so much that he couldn't get it, so he couldn't forget it? Or was it really … so deeply engraved in his heart that he couldn't get rid of it?
Chu Weiye was also a proud son of heaven. To him, he could have any woman he wanted. However, he didn't know when she had barged her way into his heart. She was clearly someone else's woman, but she had become a kind of obsession.
Bai Lu probably noticed the focused gaze beside her, so she felt a little unnatural. She coughed softly and was about to say something when Chu Weiye beat her to it.
"… You know about all those things?"
Bai Lu knew that he was talking about her father, so she didn't intend to hide it. Perhaps some things would be a lot easier if they were talked about. Recently, too many things had been pressing on her chest.
"Yes."
"I don't know how much Liang Feifan has told you, but I feel that under these circumstances, as a man who wants to win your favor, I should hit you when you're down." Chu Weiye said half-jokingly, half-seriously, "… Bai Lu, if I hit you when you're down, will you hate me?"
His words were always insinuating to himself, "Give me a chance."
