The CEO's wife is reborn and vows to pay for her crimes in blood.

Chapter 115 He has a sick girlfriend

"I see." Chu Xinglan subconsciously looked around. "Can I come to your house?"

"This..." Lu Yuan hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.

"Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean anything by it. It's just that my acting skills are inconsistent, and I want to spend more time with you to get a feel for things." At this point, Chu Xinglan deliberately asked cautiously, "Is it inconvenient? Will your girlfriend be jealous?"

“Xinyu isn’t a jealous girl,” Lu Yuan explained, afraid that others might misunderstand his girlfriend.

"So you really do have a girlfriend?" Chu Xinglan feigned surprise. In fact, before getting close to him, she had already learned that Lu Yuan had a girlfriend he had been dating for three years, but his girlfriend had leukemia. It seemed that he was raising a lot of money to pay for a bone marrow transplant for his girlfriend. How could a man like that... a man who never abandoned his sick girlfriend, do such a thing?

Although she didn't believe it, he did it anyway.

If we look at the timeline, when he and two other men assaulted him in the hotel, his girlfriend was still alive, and they hadn't broken up. So, when he did this to her, did he ever think about his sick girlfriend? Didn't he feel any guilt?

Chu Xinglan gripped the disposable chopsticks tightly, and in her excitement, the chopsticks even broke.

With a click, Chu Xinglan finally came to her senses.

"Sorry, I used too much force."

Lu Yuan's thoughts drifted away. He only came to his senses when he heard the sound of chopsticks breaking. He asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing." Chu Xinglan shook her head.

"The barbecue is here!" The owner placed the barbecue plate in front of Chu Xinglan and Lu Yuan, and then curiously pulled up a chair to sit next to them. "Little sister, tell me, what do you actresses usually do?"

The owner, in his thirties, had a greasy head and looked intimidating, but he was actually quite approachable. He wasn't trying to chat up Chu Xinglan; he was just genuinely curious. However, before Chu Xinglan could figure out how to get rid of him, the proprietress came out of the house, grabbed his ear, and pulled him inside, saying, "With so many customers, how can you have time to chat?"

"Ouch, boss, be gentle!"

The proprietress glanced at Chu Xinglan and gave her an embarrassed smile: "Little girl, don't be afraid, he means no harm."

Chu Xinglan nodded in understanding, watching as the boss was dragged inside by the boss's wife.

"Their relationship must be very good." Chu Xinglan felt a little envious. If it weren't true love, what man could tolerate a woman dragging him away by the ear in public? Moreover, the boss and his wife have a significant height difference. The boss's wife is a rather petite woman with an ordinary appearance.

“Yes, the couple has been running a barbecue here for almost ten years. When the woman was with him, the man had nothing; it was a bare-bones wedding. So the man feels very sorry for her and always wants to give her the best he has.” Lu Yuan nodded.

"Your relative?" Chu Xinglan asked curiously.

"No, it's just that I often eat here, and the owner always tells me these things," Lu Yuan said with a simple smile.

Chu Xinglan smiled knowingly; this seemed to be the way the owner of this business operated.

"Does the boss know your girlfriend too?" Chu Xinglan asked again.

Lu Yuan nodded.

No wonder the boss asked that question when they came in.

“I used to come here with Xinyu for barbecue all the time…” Lu Yuan suddenly stopped speaking.

They were so young back then, full of beautiful dreams. Xinyu loved to sing, and he loved to act. Together, they worked hard but happily in their cramped rented room, weaving their dreams until Xinyu was diagnosed with leukemia, and their dreams shattered in an instant.

They spent all their savings, and he bowed to reality. In order to raise money for his girlfriend's surgery, he lowered his standards and took on stunt work in various film crews. Meanwhile, his girlfriend could no longer realize her dream of singing.

After finishing the barbecue, Lu Yuan brought his girlfriend a beef rice bowl.

They lived in a cheap rental house that was very dirty, cramped, and damp.

Chu Xinglan originally felt that her rented place was not very good, but compared with Lu Yuan and the others, it was much better.

Watch your step.

Lu Yuan looked apologetically at Chu Xinglan and explained, "The water pipes here are old and leak frequently, so it's very damp inside."

Chu Xinglan smiled and said nothing. She then followed Lu Yuan upstairs.

The stairs were made of wooden planks, and they creaked underfoot. Chu Xinglan even had the illusion that she might accidentally step on them and fall down.

"Don't worry, it may look flimsy, but it's actually very sturdy," Lu Yuan reassured her when he saw her hesitate to take a step.

Chu Xinglan gasped. If it weren't for the need to know herself and her enemy, she wouldn't have followed the person she hated back. She could endure any hardship, so what couldn't she do?

Thinking this, Chu Xinglan took a step forward and followed closely behind.

Looking at Chu Xinglan, who was no longer afraid, Lu Yuan felt that the girl in front of him was a bit unbelievable. She looked like a rich young lady who had never suffered. To be honest, such a person would not deign to come to a place like this, but she did not show the slightest disdain, or even any dissatisfaction.

Arriving at his front door, Lu Yuan took out his key and opened the door.

As soon as Lu Yuan opened the door, a woman came over, affectionately put her arm around his neck, and kissed his somewhat dirty cheek.

"Ah Yuan, you're back."

Perhaps because there were other people present, Lu Yuan felt a little embarrassed. He gently pulled his girlfriend's hands off his neck and said, "Xin Yu, I brought you dinner."

At this point, he tenderly stroked his girlfriend's short, snow-white hair: "Did you take your medicine on time today?"

"I've already eaten." His girlfriend pouted coquettishly, only then noticing Chu Xinglan standing outside the door.

"Who is she?" Although there was no hostility in the gaze of his girlfriend as she looked at Chu Xinglan, there was also a hint of a woman's sensitivity and inferiority complex. After all, she was a patient, and her poor health was a burden on her boyfriend. At this moment, when she suddenly saw a strange but beautiful woman, she would naturally feel uneasy.

“She’s an actress in our production team,” Lu Yuan quickly explained.

"Is she an actress?" Xin Yu became even more wary.

"Hello, my name is Chu Xinglan." Chu Xinglan smiled at Xinyu.

"Ah Yuan, don't you want me anymore? Are you going to abandon me?" Xin Yu was filled with fear. She had nothing left. If Lu Yuan didn't want her anymore, she would only have one way out: death. But... if Lu Yuan left her, he wouldn't have to suffer so much... then what about her? What would happen to her?
