Chapter 42: Don't Let Me See Her Again

Lu Xiwán gave Fu Sijue no chance to react, calmly facing Gu Qingmeng's resentful gaze.

"Miss Gu still wants to, as before, eliminate me when no one is watching?"

Unfortunately, she has long ceased to be the girl Gu Qingmeng once toyed with for applause.

Moreover, Gu Qingmeng can hardly protect herself now.

Fu Sijue's gaze fell on Gu Qingmeng. "How do you intend to explain?"

He never claimed ignorance that Gu Qingmeng wasn't as clean as she seemed.

He just didn't want to pierce this thin veneer.

Now that an outsider has torn this paper, Fu Sijue's anger is inevitable.

It would be more accurate to call it disappointment than anger.

Lu Xiwán, for once, rarely saw his feelings reflected on Fu Sijue's face.

"I think that before blaming others, it's most important to keep oneself spotless; Miss Gu has committed so many wrongs herself—what right does she have to accuse me?"

"Xi Wan... I didn't investigate today's matter thoroughly..."

Fu Sijue looked at Lu Xiwán, his eyes filled with indescribable emotions, murky as a bottomless pit.

Lu Xiwán glanced once and resolutely turned her head.

"But can you tell me how you learned these things? I've been searching for Wanwan for many years..."

Lu Xiwán didn't even know when Fu Sijue went off to study film and television, making this drama feel truly vivid.

If she hadn't experienced it herself back then, she would have thought Fu Sijue's affection was genuinely deep as the sea.

She turned her head again to meet Fu Sijue's eyes, Lu Xiwán skillfully concealed the emotions in her gaze.

She looked at Fu Sijue calmly.

This drama really doesn't need to continue.

"Mr. Fu, I do indeed know Miss Lu," Xi Wan admitted calmly, then saw Fu Sijue's eyes change in shock.

Even Gu Qingmeng stopped struggling, turning into an even more intense shout.

"You're talking nonsense! How could that be... it's definitely false! Sijue, don't believe it; she's a liar! Lu Xiwán vanished for so many years—how could she just happen to be found by you? Everything you say is false..."

It was unclear whether Gu Qingmeng was trying to hypnotize others or herself; she muttered loudly, and the spark in her eyes gradually faded.

Lu Xiwán lowered her gaze. "When I met Miss Lu, she was in terrible condition, with multiple fractures all over her body, on the brink of death."

But how can someone who erred so easily find such simple relief?!

She suddenly lifted her eyes, smiling, and looked at Fu Sijue.

"You know the first thing Miss Lu asked when she woke up was, 'Is the child okay?'"

These are all her personal experiences, but what follows, Lu Xiwán will make Fu Sijue never forget for a lifetime.

He and Gu Qingmeng will have to spend a lifetime atoning.

"The child is gone, Miss Lu's initially improving health kept deteriorating. I had the doctors do everything to save her, but they said she no longer had the desire to live."

"Half a month later, Miss Lu died in California."

Lu Xiwán announced her own death in the most neutral tone, also bidding her past a final farewell.

From now on, Lu Xiwán and Xi Wan will lead completely different lives.

Fu Sijue gripped Gu Qingmeng's shoulder tightly; even when she let out a painful cry, he acted as if he hadn't heard.

"Mr. Fu, Miss Lu doesn't want you to disturb her, so this is fine for now; I will take care of Miss Lu's gravesite."
