Chapter 724 What happened to Chengyu?
Lu Huaici pushed people into the room, and everyone took off their heavy coats and returned to the living room.
Aunt Cheng brought ginger tea and distributed it.
Lu Huaici held the hot cup and looked at her daughter who was in a daze, "Xiaoxi, have you seen the snowman outside?"
Lu Jingxi smiled and said, "I saw it. I just wanted to go out and take a look."
Lu Huaici pointed out, "The wind has picked up and the temperature is cooling down. The snowman will not melt in the next two days. We will go out after the wind stops."
Lu Jingxi looked out through the window, "Okay."
The identical snowman, wearing a red scarf, looked at her from a distance.
Obviously when I look at things in reality, what appears in front of my eyes are all the people and things from a few years ago.
It's like everything happened yesterday.
The uneasiness in her heart piled up, and when she wanted to call Lian Chengyu, she was interrupted by Xuan Xiao's voice.
"After you finish handling the affairs of the Lu family after the new year, I will take Lu Zhixing back to the mountain. He has been down the mountain for a long time and is tired from running around. He needs to rest for a while."
Lu Jingxi moved his lips and finally responded softly, "Okay."
Lu Huaici touched her daughter's hair, "Would you like to see the gift prepared for your grandpa with mom? I don't know if your grandpa's preferences have changed over the years..."
When Lu Tanshan was mentioned, everyone's attention was diverted.
Lu Huaici looked through the old man's photos and current situation on his phone, feeling a sense of cowardice in his hometown.
"My grandpa and uncles and aunts know that you are still alive, which is the best gift. They just want you back."
Lu Huaici's eyes turned red, "It's my fault... It's my fault."
After dinner, Lu Jingxi knocked on the door of the guest room and saw his parents sitting together studying the gift list.
Lu Huaici quickly waved to her daughter and pulled her to sit next to her.
"These are all things your dad has collected over the years. I don't know if our family will like them."
"Anyway, we plan to settle in China. From now on, we will have more time to honor our father and brother."
Shi Jingting said this while flipping through the list in his hands a little messily.
This was also the first time he met his father-in-law and his parents' family. They had kidnapped their daughter for more than ten years, so he would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous.
But at this moment, there was something deep in his heart that made him even more nervous.
"Xiaoxi, if it's sunny tomorrow, let's go out for a walk with my parents. It's almost the Chinese New Year and it's very lively outside. Let's go take a look at Dad's new house."
Shi Jingting tried every means to get Lu Jingxi to leave the manor.
Lu Huaici suddenly said, "Tomorrow afternoon, I'm going to the prison."
At the mention of prison, both father and daughter were stunned.
Lu Jingxi quickly realized that Su Mingshan was still squatting in prison.
He was sentenced to twelve years for financial fraud and embezzlement of public funds.
Nowadays, the branch of the Su family has stopped interacting with him. Su Qingqing has gone insane and lives abroad with Lin Xingyu. Feng Qianxue occasionally goes abroad to visit her, and most of the time he lives in the Feng family.
Shi Jingting frowned and said with a nervous tone, "Are you going to see your ex-husband?"
Lu Huaici's expression was indifferent. Since Lu Jingxi was by his side, he didn't say much and gave him a look.
Lu Jingxi felt that she was not suitable to stay any longer, so she pressed her hand on the sofa and stood up to leave.
After closing the door, Lu Huaici sighed helplessly, "I made a promise with him back then that when Xiaoxi grew up, I would tell her all the truth. But he thought I was dead, unilaterally broke the promise, and treated my daughter badly. I have to pay this debt." Let’s settle it with him.”
Upon hearing this, Shi Jingting breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought you..."
"What do you think? What do you think I had with him back then? Shi Jingting, how old are you, and you are still jealous like this? Besides, if it weren't for you, would I have had to go around in such a big circle? I took it with me Your daughter is looking for you all over the world, what about you?"
"Because of you, I left home for more than ten years and made my father suffer the pain of losing his daughter. Now you are still worrying about what was a big deal back then. You..."
The more Lu Huaici talked, the angrier he became and his eyes turned red.
Shi Jingting quickly comforted her, holding her shoulders and pressing her against her chest, "It's my fault, it's my fault, Yun... Ah Ci, it's my fault."
The people Lu Huaici was ashamed of in this life were his daughter and his father. Every time he thought of them, his heart felt like a knife.
She calmed down and straightened up, "Our affairs are not important right now, what is important is Xiaoxi, Chengyu... what did Master Xuanxiao say?"
Shi Jingting was worried, "He has no way to guarantee when Chengyu will wake up, and he may never wake up."
