Lu Yanci paused and didn't look back. He just said coldly: "Brother, do you think that because you did it perfectly, others won't know the real cause of my sister-in-law's death?"
"You know why you married Shen Lanyu!"
Lu Jingli's face instantly turned pale, and he clenched his hands tightly into fists, with veins pulsing on them.
But he didn't say anything, he just watched Lu Yanci leave gloomily.
There is a small utility room next to the water tower of the Lu family, which is usually used to decorate tools and punish people who make mistakes.
This is not the first time Wen Ning has been imprisoned here.
She had been imprisoned here countless times over the past many years.
During the longest period, Lu Xue and Lu Xizhou were detained here for two days and two nights, and they were not even given a sip of water during the process.
If there wasn't something wrong with the water tower and someone came to deal with it, she would have died of dehydration inside.
However, no matter how I was locked up in the past, I would always wear normal clothes.
Unlike this time, Wen Ning only wore a thin knitted sweater.
Although this was a closed space with no wind, the weather was more than ten degrees below zero, and within a short time, she was so cold that she felt a little confused.
She hugged the plastic sheet used to cover the tools tightly, trying to get a little warmth from it.
But it seemed to have no effect. There was already a thin layer of ice on the damp and freezing ground. She was wearing soft-soled shoes that she wore at home, which did not provide any insulation at all.
She was huddled in a pile of plastic sheets, almost unconscious from the cold, and the only thought in her mind was that she hoped Lu Yanci could arrive soon.
Although he knew that he would not do anything to the Lu family because of her, he still seemed to have some feelings for her now and would not let her freeze to death here.
In this extremely cold weather, it is easy for people to lose body temperature. After a while, she felt like she had become a popsicle and her body no longer felt itchy.
Moreover, his consciousness gradually became a little blurry, as if he was about to fall asleep.
She did not despair, because there were too many days of despair, and she was left with only numbness and determination to get out of here as soon as possible.
The only thing that made her heartache was Shen Lanyu's attitude and eyes.
Seeing herself being beaten and hearing with her own ears that she had been abused like that, she didn't react at all and didn't even look at her.
Has she completely given up on this family relationship?
Thinking of this, she put her hand on her heart and covered it tightly.
It seems that by doing this, my heart becomes less cold.
I don't know how long it took, but the iron door was opened with a bang.
A tall figure appeared at the door. In the backlight, she couldn't see his face clearly, and she could only hear him calling her name in a mute voice.
"Ning Ning!"
Lu Yanci glanced at the person huddled in the plastic cloth.
Her little face was blue and blue from the cold, and her eyes had no focus, just like the look in her eyes when she was injured and ran away.
There was no anger or desire for help. He only saw numbness and despair in her eyes!
His heart shrank so hard that even breathing was painful!
Seeing him, Wen Ning moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out.
Lu Yanci didn't dare to take another look. He quickly took off his coat and stepped forward to wrap Wen Ning up.
His body temperature wrapped around her, and she felt a little pain.
It's like staying in the ice and snow for a long time and suddenly entering a warm room, the skin will feel painful.
This pain helped Wen Ning regain some of her consciousness. She leaned her head on his shoulder and said softly: "Lu Yanci, you're here!"
Lu Yanci's eyes were a little moist, and his throat seemed to be stuck, unable to make a sound.
The heart-wrenching pain prevented him from making a sound.
After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry, I'm late."
Wen Ning said softly: "It's not too late. This is not the first time. Winter is better than summer."
After a pause, she added: "You are the first person to save me in these years, Lu Yanci."
Lu Yanci hugged her tightly, so hard that he almost strangled her into her bones and blood.
He said in a low voice: "I should come back earlier."
No, it's useless to come back early. He should have taken over her personally ten years ago, taken her with him and raised her by himself!
"it's all my fault!"
Wen Ning curled up in his arms. After her body gained some warmth, she began to feel. She began to shiver, "Lu Yanci, I'm so cold!"
Lu Yanci hugged her and strode outside.
It was windy outside, so Wen Ning touched his shirt and said softly, "Lu Yanci, are you cold?"
Lu Yanci hugged her tighter and tighter, "It's not cold, it's not cold when I hold Ning Ning!"
Wen Ning buried her head on his shoulder, inhaling deeply the refreshing cedar smell on his body.
She said almost inaudibly: "Lu Yanci, why do you want your last name to be Lu?"
The wind was a bit strong, so Lu Yanci didn't hear what she said clearly, so he held her for a few days before climbing up the steps.
The door to the room on the steps was open, the heat inside was escaping, and Lu Yanci took her inside.
At this time, Zhang Hua also hurried over.
Seeing Wen Ning's look, her expressionless face showed unbearable expression.
The little girl's exposed skin was covered with bruises from the cold, the corners of her lips were still soaked in blood, and there was already a large pool of blood on the collar around her neck.
Moreover, those blood stains have also turned into thin ice.
Zhang Hua's nose felt a little sore, so he quickly handed over the blankets and clothes he had brought.
Lu Yanci placed Wen Ning on the chair next to the radiator and wrapped her in a blanket.
Then she knelt on the ground and took off her slightly frozen socks.
Her originally small and somewhat fleshy feet seemed to be frostbitten. They were stuck to the socks, and small pieces of skin were torn off when they were taken off.
But she seemed to feel no pain, and sat motionless, letting him move.
Lu Yanci checked her feet, took a tissue and treated the injured area, and then put soft fur shoes on her.
After doing this, he poured hot water over and wanted to feed her.
But as soon as she drank it, she spit out the hot water and blood in her mouth.
The inner wall of her mouth was broken and she was bleeding all the time. When she drank hot water, the pain was severe.
Lu Yanci glanced at the blood on the ground and the blood stains on her collar, and the anger in his eyes became thicker.
He used a tissue to wipe away the remaining blood on the corners of her lips bit by bit, and said in a very deep voice, "They beat you."
Wen Ning moved his lips and said softly: "It doesn't hurt. It's much better than before. It's just a few slaps."
Lu Yanci held the cup in his hand tightly, with veins popping on the back of his hand.
The thin glass was crushed just like that.
