The policeman looked at Lu Yuan.
Judging from the blood on his face, he had indeed been beaten.
"Did you hit him?"
Another policeman questioned Lin Yue.
Before he could say anything, Lu Yuan spoke: "No, the injury on my face was caused by the fall myself."
"Did you fall by yourself?"
Only a fool would believe this.
The policeman asked: "Say it again."
Lu Yuan repeated: "You heard it right, the injury on my face was caused by the fall myself."
Peng Jiahe pinched his waist: "Lu Yuan, are you crazy? It was obviously him who beat him."
"He didn't hit me, I threw it myself."
"Are you stupid? Now that the police have arrived, they can just take him to jail. Don't you want to take revenge?"
"..."
Lu Yuan remained silent.
The policeman asked again patiently: "Let me ask you one last time, did he inflict the injuries on your face?"
Lu Yuan said: "No, I dropped it myself."
"You..." Peng Jiahe stamped his feet anxiously.
For something like this, unless direct evidence is obtained, the police really can't do anything if the party being beaten doesn't admit to being beaten.
"You know, you are reporting a false alarm... This will not happen again."
The leading policeman scolded Peng Jiahe, turned around and left.
The little nurse looked at the policeman's back, then at the injuries on Lu Yuan's face, then at Lin Yue and the angry-looking Xu Lan, and seemed to understand something.
"Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan! Is your brain flooded?" Peng Jiahe was so angry that he wanted to hit someone: "He beat you so hard, and you still protected him?"
Lu Yuan did not speak, but pointed to the person lying on the hospital bed.
Peng Jiahe turned his head and took a look. He didn't recognize it at first. He looked carefully for a moment before he suddenly realized.
"Jiang Lai? She...what happened to her?"
"What happened to her? She jumped off the building!" The person who answered this question was Lin Yue.
"Why did she jump off the building?"
"ask him."
"..." Lu Yuan remained silent.
Peng Jiahe pointed at him, then at Jiang Lai, blinking his eyes and opening his mouth: "No way."
Anyway, she couldn't understand Jiang Lai's behavior, but as for Lu Yuan's intention of not complaining to the police... combined with Jiang Lai's situation, everything made sense.
The answer is simple, Lu Yuan is in the wrong.
"Okay, if you have any conflicts, go out and talk about it. Don't make a fuss here." The little nurse drove them outside. Even if Jiang Lai was unconscious, the rules of keeping the ward quiet must continue to be implemented.
"Come out with me." Lin Yue looked at the nurse, then turned and left.
Lu Yuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and followed him out of the ward. The two of them walked towards the stairwell. Peng Jiahe wanted to follow, but was frightened by a glare from his little eyes. Considering that Jiang Haokun had beaten him, he scolded her. I cursed, this is a hospital, I shouldn't go too far, so I put my heart back in my heart and sat on the chair outside the ward to wait calmly.
"Tell me, what are you going to do about this?"
Lin Yue opened the window in the corridor, lit a cigarette and took two puffs in his mouth. Wisps of smoke floated into the air, blurring his face, and were scattered by the draft in the corridor, turning into a chaotic mass.
Lu Yuan didn't know how to answer this question: "..."
At this point, he has accepted the reality, but accepting the reality does not mean that he knows what to do.
"You caused the trouble, are you just going to pretend to be dead?"
"Then what do you want to do?"
"I'll leave it to you to take care of Jiang Lai from now on."
Lu Yuan frowned: "I don't even know her situation."
Lin Yue said: "The doctor said that it can range from paralysis to a vegetative state."
"so serious?"
Lu Yuan touched his lower abdomen, which was still aching, and felt that compared to Jiang Lai, this injury was nothing. "I'm sorry about this."
"Is it enough to apologize?"
"..."
It can be seen that he does not want to take on the responsibility of taking care of Jiang Lai.
Think about Lu Yuan's attitude towards Peng Jiahe in the TV series. If she hadn't been just a few months away from becoming an adult, would he have been her guardian? Jiang Lai's condition is much worse than that of Peng Jiahe. Regardless of whether she is paralyzed or in a vegetative state, it means that she cannot get out of bed and must be cared for 24 hours a day. The key is that she does not know how long she can live. If the situation is good, it will be thirty to fifty years. possible.
"Peng Hai is dead, you can take care of Peng Jiahe and the old lady. Now that Jiang Lai jumped off the building for you, it is your responsibility to take care of her."
"You also know that I have to take care of the old lady. How can I have time to take care of her... Besides, this kind of thing is inconvenient for me and her..."
"It's okay. I can find someone to apply for a marriage certificate for you, so that you will be legitimate."
Is this okay?
Lu Yuan was stunned, and after a while he said with a sullen face: "Didn't you break off the brother-sister relationship with Jiang Lai? Why are you so concerned about her affairs?"
Lin Yue said: "Do you think I am willing to take care of her affairs? I am worried about my mother."
Lu Yuan thought of Xu Lan who was with him in the ward and nodded slightly, but he quickly realized: "Jiang Haokun, you are so enthusiastic about her affairs, your real purpose is to take revenge on me, right?"
"That's right." Lin Yue did not deny it: "There is no conflict between my revenge on you and your responsibility for this matter."
"It's not me who asked her to jump off the building." He felt a little guilty at first, but now that he heard that Jiang Haokun was going to use Jiang Lai to take revenge on him, and then thought about it again, if he really agreed, he would be tied to a vegetative person for the rest of his life, and he suddenly felt guilty. A rebellious thought: "This is her own choice. Even if it goes to court, the judge will not support your request."
"So, you are not willing to take responsibility?"
"That's right, this can only be said to be her own stupidity." Lu Yuan said: "Do you know what I thought when Peng Hai died and he was lying in his coffin? I have already died once. There’s nothing to be afraid of.”
"Very good." Lin Yue didn't get angry, and said calmly: "Whatever, I think... Even if Jiang Lai wakes up from a coma and knows her current condition, he won't want you to hang on her tree. Bar."
Lu Yuan's eyebrows raised twice: "You can't be too hard and then you can be soft? Jiang Haokun, haven't you always said that I am a person who only cares about my own pleasure and doesn't care what others think? I won't care about this matter. Anyway, you guys If your family has money, you can hire a platoon of caregivers.”
There was another very vicious idea that he did not mention, that is, a paralyzed Jiang Lai could torture Xu Lan. Seeing that Xu Lan was not feeling well, Jiang Haokun would definitely not feel good either. He did not expect that Jiang Lai's suicide by jumping off the building would have such an effect.
"..."
Lu Yuanyuan remained silent, smiled coldly, opened the corridor door and walked out.
Lin Yue did not move. He stood in front of the window and took a puff of cigarette, then raised his head and blew out a cloud of smoke.
I originally wanted to follow the plot in the TV series, treat others in their own way, and let Lu Yuan also take care of the eldest daughter of the Jiang family who was paralyzed in bed, but...
Don't blame him for being ruthless if he refuses to take the bright road.
…
A week later.
The old house of the Peng family on Hunan Road.
Dong Dong Dong~
Dong Dong Dong~
There were continuous knocks on the door outside. The old lady called "Jiahe" twice but no one answered. She could only lift off the quilt and get down from the bed to open the door for the guest.
"Old lady, do you still remember me?"
"You...your surname is Jiang?" The old lady looked at her carefully for a while and then said with a smile: "Jiang Haokun, a friend of Dahai."
"Yes." Lin Yue said, "It's me."
"Come in, come in." The old lady let people into the room.
Lin Yueju held up the two plastic bags in his hand. The left one was filled with fruits and the right one was filled with leeks: "As promised last time, I came over to eat the leek dumplings you made. Old lady, have you forgotten this?"
The old lady was very happy: "I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten, I have a good memory."
Cough~
Cough~
Xu Li's expression was very embarrassing, and she thought, "Do you have a good memory?" Alzheimer's patients...say they have a good memory?
Only then did the old lady notice her: "This girl is..."
Lin Yue said: "My girlfriend, if you don't mind if I bring her to eat dumplings."
"How could it be? It's too late for Auntie to be happy." After saying that, she looked at Xu Li's face carefully: "What a beautiful little girl, come in quickly."
She turned sideways and let the two of them into the living room.
Seeing Xu Li standing in front of the shoe cabinet, looking like she didn't dare to go inside, she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No need to change shoes. You guys sit on the sofa for a while, and I'll make tea."
The old lady turned around and walked to the kitchen.
Lin Yue stood up and said, "I'll help you."
"No need." When the old lady spoke, she had already walked into the kitchen, and she quickly caught up with her: "Do you know where the tea leaves are?"
What happened next surprised her.
I saw him opening the second cabinet on the right, taking out a box of Anxi golden osmanthus with ease, opening the box, pinching some and putting it into the teapot on the right.
"How...how do you know where the tea leaves are?"
Lin Yue smiled at her: "I guessed."
After the old lady was discharged from the hospital, he came over while Peng Jiahe was away and used hypnosis to make her forget her memory of him.
Of course, even if he doesn't do this, as long as he never comes to the Peng family's old house from now on, the old lady will most likely forget about him.
"Grandma, who are you talking to?"
At this moment, the door to the second bedroom opened, and Peng Jiahe, wearing a pajamas with a bear pattern embroidered on the chest, walked out. From the mobile phone in her hand and the earphone plugged into one ear, it could be concluded that she had not heard the knock on the door just now. is the answer because both ears are being bombarded with music.
The old lady looked back and said with a smile: "I'm your father's friend. Please call me Uncle Jiang."
Of course Peng Jiahe would not call him Uncle Lin Yuejiang. When he saw that face, his smile suddenly faded: "Why are you here? You are not welcome in our home."
"Is this your home?" Lin Yue said, "If I guess correctly, the name of the old lady is written in the house book."
He picked up the teapot and walked towards the water dispenser.
"Even if it's my grandma's house..." Peng Jiahe was like a teddy dog, chasing him and biting him.
"Jiahe, if you talk like that again, get out of here. No matter how old or young you are, is this how your father taught you?"
"grandmother……"
Peng Jiahe was very aggrieved. Although the old lady's brain was not working properly, his attitude towards her was not as good as before after he slapped her outside the reef restaurant. From time to time, he asked her to go back to the house to reflect. Or drive her out, making her extremely unhappy.
"Call Uncle Jiang, call me!"
When Peng Jiahe saw that the old lady was really angry, he thought that she would be homeless if she was kicked out. She had no money, so she could only hold her nose and give in, and whispered: "Uncle Jiang."
"Why."
Lin Yue pointed to Xu Li sitting on the sofa: "There is also your Aunt Xu Li."
Peng Jiahe stabbed him with a sword-like gaze, and could only honestly call him "Aunt Xu."
Xu Li nodded and smiled at her.
The old lady's expression changed from cloudy to clear: "You guys sit down and drink tea. I'll go out and buy some dumpling wrappers. By the way, I don't have enough vinegar at home."
After that, he explained: "It's at the entrance of the alley, not far."
"Can you go alone? Do you want me to go with you?" Xu Li said politely.
"No, just sit down."
The old lady put on her shoes, opened the door and left.
As soon as the person who was looking after her left, Peng Jiahe pushed down the cup that Lin Yue had lifted up a little.
"Tell me, what are you planning?"
"I want to eat the dumplings made by your grandma, can't I?"
"How is it possible, are you lying to a ghost?"
"Okay." Lin Yue said, "Let me ask you, where did Lu Yuan go?"
"Lu Yuan?"
Peng Jiahe's eyes rolled: "How do I know where Lu Yuan went? Grandma kicked him out after she came back from the hospital. Oh, by the way, don't you know where the house he rented is? Find it Him."
Lin Yue didn't speak, he just looked at her with a smile, looking at her...it made her tremble.
At this time Xu Li pushed him: "Speak properly and stop playing around."
Lin Yue shrugged: "You don't know where Lu Yuan went? Let me tell you, he has returned to the United States."
Peng Jiahe stiffened, his expression a little nervous.
In fact, she knew about Lu Yuan's return to the United States. She went to see him before. The landlord said that he had checked out, but left her a note. As for the content on it... the general idea was that ACF had canceled his guardianship and he had to go back. She had to go through the relevant procedures in order to prevent Peng Hai’s insurance money from being transferred to her smoothly.
She was very angry because she also wanted to go back to the United States. Unfortunately, Lu Yuan played a trick on her and secretly took out her passport and smoothed it out. She had no choice but to accept the fact and tried several times to give it to Lu Yuan. Yuan called and changed her number, but couldn't get through at all. She was very scared recently, fearing that Lu Yuan would pocket the insurance money her father left her. However, thinking about the ACF system, she felt that there shouldn't be a big problem. As an inheritance, As the legal heir, if she doesn't sign, it's impossible for Lu Yuan to take away the insurance money.
"Ah? Back to the United States? I understand. He should have gone to ACF to file a complaint about my guardian status."
"Pretend, pretend again." Lin Yue picked up the cup and took a sip of tea: "You know better than anyone why Lu Yuan fled back to the United States."
Peng Jiahe tried his best to force out a smile. Judging from the fact that Lu Yuan's phone calls were blocked and his WeChat messages were not answered, going to ACF to do something or something should be an excuse to reassure her. In all likelihood, this guy went out to hide from trouble. After all, Jiang Lai committed suicide by jumping off a building and fell like that. Lu Yuan should have done something.
Although she didn't know what Jiang Haokun said to him in the Sixth Hospital last time, judging from his behavior after returning, the two of them should have broken down.
Peng Jiahe said: "Anyway, I don't know where he is now."
Lin Yue said: "I know you don't know where he is."
Peng Jiahe was almost stunned by his words.
"Then why are you asking these questions?"
"If I have news about him in the future, would you like to go to the United States with me?"
"Yes, of course I do. I haven't received my dad's insurance money yet."
At home, the old lady always finds fault with her, and when she goes outside, she is afraid that others will recognize her as the famous unfilial granddaughter of the Peng family. Now she really wants to return to the United States. When she reaches the other side of the ocean, she can get her father's pension. What will happen in the future? It feels wonderful to think about it, but...
She had no money and couldn't buy a plane ticket to the United States. Even if she had money to go back, she would have to find Lu Yuan first before she could withdraw the insurance money.
"Since you are willing, then starting from tomorrow, you can work as a waiter at Gray Whale Restaurant." Lin Yue threw a business card on the table: "I have made arrangements with Manager Feng."
"Ah?" Peng Jiahe shook his head like a rattle: "I don't want to be a waiter."
Peng Hai is a chef. She used to go to the place where her father worked. She knew very well how tiring the job of a waiter in a Western restaurant was. More importantly, she had to face criticism from customers. How could she be able to withstand this as a young lady? Kind of sin.
Lin Yue looked up while drinking tea: "Aren't you going?"
"Not going."
"Okay, let's pay it back."
"Pay back the money? Pay back what?"
Peng Jiahe was confused by him.
Lin Yue took the document handed over by Xu Li and threw it in front of her.
"The above is the transfer record of the money you borrowed from Gan Jing after you came back. If you add it up, it should be eight or nine thousand."
Peng Jiahe looked at the contents of the document and had no idea how to answer.
From the date to the amount, to the reason why she borrowed the money, why her luggage was lost, how cold it was that she had no clothes to wear, what I saw a pair of shoes in Vipshop, what Lu Yuan was going to apply for a job as a chef, she thought there was something The suit is nice, but the money on hand is not enough...
The amount of money borrowed each time was not much, but when added together, it was not a small sum for her.
"Aunt Gan Jing, she...how could she do this?"
Peng Jiahe was very angry, thinking that the money was not spent on herself, but part of it was used by Lu Yuan. That was her ex-boyfriend, who once gave her an apartment. Why did he ask her to get some small money to help him out? Yes, I used the word "borrow" when I called, but no one with an online IQ would think that a minor is capable of paying back the money. That's too stingy!
Lin Yue did not respond to her complaints and continued: "Every time she transfers money to you, she uses her WeChat wallet, which is recorded here. Or, you can work honestly to pay back the money, and when I find Lu Yuan, I will take you there." Find him to settle the account, or just wait for the court's summons. You are now an adult. If you are included in the list of defaulters due to debts, even if you are an American, you will not be able to fly back to your country in the future."
"You...you...you bully people."
Peng Jiahe made him feel very uncomfortable.
At this time, the old lady came back from buying dumpling wrappers. When she heard her shouting, she looked at the three people sitting on the sofa with a puzzled face: "Jiahe, who do you think is bullying others?"
"Grandma, you have to make the decision for me. It's him...Jiang Haokun. He forced me to work as a waiter at the Reef Restaurant."
