Du Xiaoyu heard from Liu Feiyan that after Lu Tao became the acting director of the Tax Investigation Bureau, he immediately organized a tax investigation on the two companies of the Liu family. She couldn't help but feel even more hopeless. Lu Tao hated the Liu family so much and was so merciless. How was she going to get along with him in the future? How could he still like her?
However, even though she had foreseen an irreparable tragedy between her and Lu Tao, Du Xiaoyu still didn't give up. So tonight, she held on to the last glimmer of hope and knocked on Lu Tao's door...
When Lu Tao opened the door, Du Xiaoyu was not in a hurry to enter. Instead, she stared at him with sad eyes for a while before suddenly throwing herself into his arms. Using a heartbreaking tone, she begged, "Big Brother Lu, please don't treat me like this, okay? I like you, love you, and miss you every day. But you don't pick up my calls, don't reply to my messages, and don't want to see me. You don't know how sad and miserable I am! "
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but put her head on Lu Tao's shoulder and sobbed softly.
When Lu Tao opened the door, he observed Du Xiaoyu and found that her eyes were red, her face was pale, and her face was haggard. He knew that she must have suffered a lot during this period of time, and he couldn't bear to see her like this. At this moment, when he heard her sorrowful words, his heart ached. He gently stroked her cheek and said softly, "Xiaoyu, can you come in first? Let's sit down and talk. "
When Du Xiaoyu heard the words' talk ', she thought that Lu Tao wanted to talk about breaking up with her. She suddenly raised her head and a trace of fear flashed through her eyes. She said in a trembling voice, "Brother, don't talk about breaking up with me, okay? Leave me with a trace of hope. Don't let me fall into the abyss of despair, okay? "
Lu Tao felt her body trembling in his arms. She was obviously very afraid that he would talk about breaking up with her. He couldn't help but hesitate.
Actually, Lu Tao liked Du Xiaoyu from the bottom of his heart. Among all the girls he had dated, Du Xiaoyu was not only the most beautiful and elegant, but also the most gentle and talented. His mother, sister, and brother-in-law all liked her very much and thought that she was the best choice to be his wife. Moreover, she was so attached to him and so infatuated with him. If it weren't for her family, he would have definitely chosen her as his girlfriend without any hesitation …
Du Xiaoyu saw a trace of hesitation on Lu Tao's face and vaguely guessed his thoughts. She suddenly asked, "Brother, please tell me the truth. If I'm not from the Liu family, will you like me?"
Lu Tao nodded and said, "I will!"
Du Xiaoyu saw his straightforward answer, and her eyes immediately showed a trace of joy. She continued to ask, "Before you knew that my father was Liu Hong, did you really like me?"
After a moment of silence, Lu Tao nodded again.
The joy on Du Xiaoyu's face deepened as she leaned her head even closer to Lu Tao's chest and said in a low voice, "Brother, with these two answers of yours, I'm perfectly satisfied! I know that you are a righteous man who abhors evil, and I know that you are disgusted with my dirty and dark family. Actually, I'm the same as you, I don't have any good feelings towards my family. You know very well that if it weren't for the fact that I wanted to follow you back to the peach forest, and if it weren't for the fact that I wanted to ease the conflict between you and my family, I might never have stepped into the Liu family's door again, and I would never have called Liu Hong 'father' again.
"However, no matter how much I hate the Liu family, and no matter how much I dislike my family's actions, in the end, I am still a member of the Liu family. I am Liu Hong's third daughter, and Liu Feiyan and Liu Shuangyan's blood related younger sister. This identity will never be changed. I know very well in my heart that the biggest obstacle to our relationship is actually my family. It is because of the evil and despicable things that my family has done that you are so disgusted with them that you don't want to have anything to do with me anymore. Am I right? "
Seeing that Lu Tao was silent, Du Xiaoyu knew that she had guessed correctly. She clenched her teeth and said in a resolute tone, "Brother, I've already thought it through. As long as you don't dislike me and are willing to be with me, I can once again cut off all relations and contact with the Liu family. As long as you say the word, I will immediately move out of my eldest sister's house and live with you. From then on, I will never step into the Liu family's door again. "
When Lu Tao heard that she wanted to move out of her eldest sister's house, his heart couldn't help but move as he asked, "You're living with your eldest sister now? You're not living in the Liu family's villa? "
Du Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Yes, I'm living with my eldest sister in the 'Golden Sand Mansion' district. Originally, I was living in the Liu family's villa, but I still have some estrangement and resentment towards Liu Hong in my heart. Every time I see him, I think of the scene where my mother died by jumping off the bridge, and my heart is abnormally pained. My eldest sister is very concerned about me and can see that I still have resentment towards Liu Hong, so she suggested that I live in her house. "
Lu Tao never knew why Du Xiaoyu hated Liu Hong and why she didn't return home for so many years. Now that he heard her mention her mother's tragic death by jumping off the bridge, he vaguely guessed some clues, but he didn't know the specific situation, so he asked, "Xiaoyu, you mentioned to me before that you hate Liu Hong and the Liu family as much as I do. Moreover, you don't want to see the Liu family at all. Why is that?"
Du Xiaoyu was silent for a moment, then said in a sad tone, "Brother, this is the pain of my life. I originally didn't want to mention it to anyone, but since you're asking now, I'll tell you!"
Then, she told Lu Tao in detail about how Liu Hong kept a mistress to give birth to a son, how her two sisters were his mistresses, and how her mother committed suicide by jumping off the bridge out of shame and anger. When she talked about her mother's instructions to her before she jumped off the bridge, she recited her mother's last words to Lu Tao without missing a single word. She cried as she recited, and in the end, she was sobbing so hard that she couldn't speak …
Only now did Lu Tao know the real reason why Du Xiaoyu hated Liu Hong and left the Liu family. Thinking about how she had suffered such a huge psychological trauma at the age of eleven or twelve, sympathy and pity for her spontaneously arose in his heart. He reached out to hold her slender waist and said in a sincere tone, "Xiaoyu, I'm sorry. I didn't expect you to have experienced such a painful thing in your childhood, and I also didn't expect you to not step into the Liu family's door for so many years. I thought you were deliberately hiding your relationship with the Liu family, so I had some misunderstandings and opinions about you.
