Chapter 128 The Lost
There was a hint of sadness in Lin Yan's eyes, which was a deep yearning for the deceased. Inexplicably, this sadness hurt him deeply.
"Is it necessary..." Lu Xingye sighed tiredly.
Lin Yan blinked, not understanding what he meant.
"What?"
"Is the truth that important to you?" He turned around with a very bitter expression.
Who am I? Is this so important to you...
"Actually, as far as Lu's situation is concerned, the truth may not really be that important." Lin Yan turned around and leaned against the glass, smiling to himself.
Lu Xingye's back was turned to her, and she didn't notice that the boy seemed very depressed.
She just gave her analysis seriously and calmly: "After the press conference, the Lu family fell into a credit crisis. The board of directors used this to put pressure on Uncle Lu, thinking that he was too childish in the selection of heirs."
The Lu family is a family business. In order to prevent collateral lines or an illegitimate child from suddenly appearing one day to compete for financial rights, Lu Chenyu was identified as the heir and groomed very early on.
This is also a joint family decision.
"Eleven years ago, after I learned that Lu Chenyu passed away, there was a descendant of the Lu family among your generation who was also an amazingly talented person. At that time, SatrFall had just suffered a serious blow. In order to prevent further incidents, coupled with the situation of your mother, …”
Lin Yan paused, "Anyway, you and your father decided to hide this matter to buy enough breathing time for SatrFall and your family. Am I right about this matter?"
Lu Xingye still looked intently at the depths of the undersea tunnel and said nothing.
She took it as acquiescence.
"But now that this matter has been exposed, that group of people immediately became excited... They don't think about any blood ties. They are a group of guys who only have wealth and power in their eyes..."
Although the press conference of the sword was also affected, the quality of the sword itself is excellent, and if the follow-up announcements follow up, it will make a great comeback.
Nowadays, there are not many opportunities to pull the so-called Lu Chenyu from the position of heir, and to use credit issues to impeach Lu Zhizhou.
"Those people are eager to make this matter bigger for the sake of their shares, and the greater the social impact it will cause, the better... Now the Lu family is being attacked from both sides, but in fact, it is very simple to break the situation, as long as you do one thing."
< br>
Lin Yan didn't continue. She looked in the direction of Lu Xingye, as if waiting for his response.
"What should I do?" Lu Xingye seemed to smile.
Now, even Lin Yan was not sure whether she should continue talking. Unnoticed by both of them, her arm resting on the marble countertop was trembling slightly.
Lin Yan also turned his head and took a deep breath: "As long as you publicly admit that you are actually Lu Chenyu at the press conference."
Lu Xingye's eyes seemed to flicker for a moment, and then something seemed to be permanently extinguished in his pupils.
All conflicts come from Lu's concealment, but as long as he is Lu Chenyu, all problems will be solved.
No one needs to know the truth, as long as the person who survives is Lu Chenyu.
As for Lu Xingye.
Also, when the sun rises, who cares about the existence of stars?
"..."
"Chang'an, do you know?" He was in a daze, "I thought your first words would be: 'Lu Xingye, are you tired from living these years...'"
Over the years, he has lived as two people, trying hard to play the always mature, steady and reliable Lu Chenyu, but his heart is always just Lu Xingye. A childish and cowardly person can never pretend to be an adult.
Just like that rainy night eleven years ago, he cowardly chose to escape. For many years after that, he could only cowardly stuff himself into a shell named Lu Chenyu.
It seemed like this filled him with courage.
"Are you all regretting that it would be great if the person who survived was Lu Chenyu?"
He didn't know what was wrong with him. Deep in this quiet and uninhabited underwater tunnel, the negative emotions that had been buried in his heart for many years suddenly erupted like an undersea volcano, making his heart boil.
He seemed to be burning.
Yes, it would be great if it was Lu Chenyu who survived. He will always be so reliable. If it was Lu Chenyu, he would definitely do better than himself, right? It’s not like the Lu family has been silent for so many years, relying solely on him to support his appearance half-heartedly.
"What's wrong with you? I'm sorry, I didn't know you..." Lin Yan was frightened, and she thought to herself that she seemed to have messed up the matter.
Lin Yan wanted to get close to him and make some remedies, but Lu Xingye's current state was obviously not right.
He shook his head. He was now beginning to resist Lin Yan's approach.
"Everyone misses him and regrets his early death. My mother is still awake even now and always thinks he is still alive..."
"But don't I regret it? That's my brother! If I could trade my life for him, I wouldn't hesitate, but I can't help it..."
The boy almost yelled out with all his strength, and at some point a tear fell, and then more tears fell.
More and more tears, and more and more sadness to drown them.
"I really can't help it. I'm in more pain than anyone else, but everyone regards me as a tool to miss Lu Chenyu. I give up my life, my dreams, my name..."
"I know that everyone in my family looks down on me...Yes, I admit that I am a waste...but I can live in the shadow of Lu Chenyu all my life...I can always be the eldest son of Lu Chenyu, but you Lu Xingye’s feelings cannot be ignored..."
It's not that I can't do this, I just hope that if one day, I can't hold on anymore... the secret is exposed, everyone knows that the so-called heir to the Lu family and the dream lover of an unknown billionaire is just a coward. , I only know that when I was running away from the fire and was a loser who didn’t even have the courage to save my brother, there was someone who cared about me a little bit. Can there be someone who can feel sorry for him a little bit:
Lu Xingye, so many years have been hard, right?
"No one has asked me...including you." He murmured softly.
He looked at Lin Yan and showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "I can admit that I am Lu Chenyu, and then what? The name Lu Xingye should disappear, right?"
"What about our relationship? Lin Yan? Have you ever thought about..." He covered his chest in pain, tears already streaming down his face.
"You said you like me... But now, you are the one who wants to kill Lu Xingye with your own hands..."
Who am I in this relationship...
Am I the tool for everyone to miss Lu Chenyu?
Why, why do I always seem to be the redundant one? Whether it is the friendship with Lin Yanxie Shuyan from childhood to adulthood, or the family with her parents...
Even love.
Sometimes, he even hated Lu Chenyu, hating that even though his brother was gone, there were still people who would miss him forever.
And whether he is alive or dead, he will always be the one no one cares about.
It would have been nice if he had been the one who died in the first place, right? There wouldn’t be so many people who would regret it, right?
In the undersea tunnel, he couldn't see Lin Yan's expression clearly, but he thought Lin Yan must be finding it difficult to understand, right?
You must think it's baffling for him, how dark his heart is, that he has such deep hatred for his deceased brother because of some inexplicable selfish desires.
It’s hard for anyone to understand...
He began to hate the little dolphin now, because the beautiful sea creature witnessed the sensitive and inferior side of his heart throughout the whole process.
"There are still a lot of things to deal with at home. My mother saw the news and Yanyan is still in the hospital...I'm leaving first..."
He turned around and wanted to leave. He almost ran. He wanted to escape from this place, just like he escaped from the fire eleven years ago, as if he could leave all the cowardice in his heart far behind.
Lin Yan didn't give him this chance.
Lu Xingye just turned slightly and felt some force holding him tightly from behind.
Growing up together, she instantly understood Lu Xingye's desire to escape, but she couldn't let him escape.
Some things are impossible to escape, at least not today.
Her purpose today was to tell everything. If she let Lu Xingye go, she might never find such a good opportunity again.
She hugged her so hard that Lu Xingye instinctively wanted to struggle. During the struggle, the two of them were violently thrown to the ground by the inertia. They were all hurt by the fall, but no one cried out.
None of them were willing to show weakness on something.
Lin Yan quickly pressed his arm horizontally on Lu Xingye's collarbone.
Lu Xingye wanted to turn around, but Lin Yan still didn't give him the chance.
The gears and hinges rotated, and her mechanical arm exerted slight force, forcing Lu Xingye to look up at her.
She regrets it now.
She shouldn't have used roundabout methods. Faced with a boy who was so good at hiding his inner character, she should have torn everything apart.
Even if it hurts more.
She was willing to accompany him in pain.
She was even more afraid that he wouldn't have the courage to face it.
"Listen..." She took a breath:
"It's impossible for me to let you go until the matter is over... I know this process will be painful, but lies cannot be hidden for a lifetime. There are some things we must bear."
Her body was trembling slightly, and she was also afraid that once something started, she would not be able to turn back.
"I can understand your mood, and everyone will understand you. It's just a matter of time... You have to have confidence in us. It's not like no one loves you in this world."
Lin Yan almost used up all his strength to say: "Lu Chenyu, listen carefully, I love you!"
"Love you very much, love you very much."
"There must be someone in this world who loves you more than me, but there is no conflict between loving you and missing Lu Xingye."
"Because..." At this point, even Lin Yan almost shed tears:
"You are right about one thing. It may not matter who the survivor is, but..."
The warm liquid slipped from the corners of her eyes, fell from her chin, and landed on the boy's face.
"You have to let everyone know who we have lost..."
The boy was stunned. He raised his hand blankly and touched the tears that Lin Yan had fallen on his face.
"What did you call me just now...?"
