Chapter 859: Overexertion, Desperate Gan Jing
When she didn't know the reason for Lu Yuan's disappearance, Gan Jing felt boundless resentment in her heart. She pursued the truth just to put a perfect end to their relationship and to give an answer to her youth.
But now, her heart is completely confused. That man loved her deeply from the beginning to the end. He left her because he had no choice but to do so in order not to delay her.
But what about me? Falling in love with someone else, who is his good brother, is this a blatant betrayal?
Thinking of the childish behavior Lu Yuan had done at her birthday party, Gan Jing was very angry. She didn't understand why Lu Yuan, who was already in his thirties, was still so childish, and she even slapped him for it.
Now I understand. It's not that Lu Yuan is too naive, but he was totally unprepared to face all that. A huge sense of shame lingers in his heart. Gan Jing feels like she is a bad woman.
"Sister Jing, there is actually something very strange."
Gan Jing looked at Chen An blankly, "What...what happened?"
"You said Lu Yuan is a three-star chef, but Xiao Shuang just asked me to help Lu Yuan find a suitable job a few days ago."
Gan Jing's brows were knitted together, almost enough to pinch a crab to death, "How is this possible? When Lu Yuan was in Ugly Country, he bought a luxury car and villa with his cooking skills. There are not many Michelin chefs in the country, so he can easily find a job with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands or even millions."
"Not only that, according to what you said, Lu Yuan should have some money, and I have checked the laws of the Ugly Country. When there was a car accident, the compensation for the living was much more than that for the dead. But Lu Yuan actually has no money on him. He lives with Grandma Jiahe, and even uses the old lady's pension to buy groceries."
Upon hearing this, Gan Jing immediately denied it, "It's impossible, Lu Yuan is not that kind of person. I know him. When he was in the Ugly Country, he would always stand up for justice when he saw someone robbing. He didn't care even if he got hurt. It's impossible for him to have any bad intentions..."
Seeing that Gan Jing had misunderstood, Chen An explained speechlessly, "Sister Jing, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant. Lu Yuan has a skill, is a high-income person, and has a large amount of compensation for the car accident. Even so, he is still so poor. Is it possible that he is paying off his debts?"
"You, you mean that during the economic crisis, Lu Yuan actually owed a lot of debt?"
"How else can we explain that he spent two years in prison, and after one year out, he ended up penniless, and even killed his best friend because of alcoholism? All of this is too unreasonable."
Chen An's doubtful words were like a thunderclap, leaving Gan Jing stunned.
Things were probably the same as Chen An guessed. During the economic crisis, Lu Yuan was heavily in debt and took the risk of smuggling passports. He didn't want to implicate himself when the matter was exposed.
Two years later, Lu Yuan was released from prison, penniless and in debt. He wanted to look for me, but I had already sold the villa.
When he saw that the villa had a new owner and knew that he had sold the villa and left more than a year ago, he must have thought that he had abandoned him.
When Gan Jing thought of this, he felt as if his heart was being squeezed tightly and he felt a little suffocated.
Both of them are orphans. They have been together for more than ten years and have depended on each other in the Ugly Country. Scenes flashed through Lu Yuan's mind. How sad, desperate and angry would he be when he found out that his relative had abandoned him?
In that situation, how could he have the mood to work? He just lived a life of drunkenness and dreams every day to escape reality. Eventually, a car accident killed his good brother. He used his compensation to pay off his debts, and only then was he able to return to China.
Gan Jing's heart was overshadowed by a huge shadow. The guilt made it difficult for her to breathe. She also had to bear indirect responsibility for Peng Hai's death. If she had not left the Ugly Country in the first place, if she had persisted a little longer, none of this would have happened.
Seeing Gan Jing's look, Chen An estimated that the fire was about the right time and it was time to add some fuel to make it burn more vigorously.
"Sister Jing, last time we had dinner, I remember you told me that when Lu Yuan disappeared, your boyfriend asked the police."
thump.
Gan Jing seemed to be trapped in a big bell, and someone outside hit it hard, and his head was buzzing instantly.
Jiang Haokun was lying to himself, he had been lying to himself all along. The information that Chen An casually found out was impossible for Jiang Haokun not to have known, so he was an insider from the beginning to the end, he was lying to himself all along.
Thinking back to when Lu Yuan got into trouble, she was like a madman, searching everywhere in Ugly Country, posting missing person notices everywhere. He stayed by her side silently, taking care of her in every possible way.
Later, he even advised me to return to China and accompanied me to see a psychiatrist. Everything was fake, all fake.
"Old classmate, you really didn't let me down. Not only did you accomplish what I entrusted to you, you did it so thoroughly..."
Thinking of Lu Yuan's angry words at the birthday party, Gan Jing understood everything in an instant. Lu Yuan had never ignored her from the beginning to the end. Even when he was in prison, he still asked his best brother to take care of her.
And I was taken care of in bed...
The huge guilt and shame made Gan Jing feel ashamed.
When she thought of herself and Jiang Hao Kun talking sweetly together while Lu Yuan, far away in the Ugly Country, was waiting for her in prison, living a life of drunkenness and debauchery on some deserted street, her heart felt like it was being stabbed by a red-hot knife, and the pain was tormenting her.
She wanted to cry, shout, curse, and even die. She was too ashamed to face Lu Yuan, too ashamed to face the dead Peng Hai, too ashamed to face Peng Jiahe, and too ashamed to face the old man who was looking forward to his son's return and was suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
She is guilty, she is a sinner, because of her shamelessness, everything that happened now is caused by her, she is a troublemaker, she is a star of damnation...
At first, Chen An didn't care too much about Gan Jing's reaction. His original intention was to make her blame herself.
But as time went by, Chen An finally discovered something was wrong.
Gan Jing leaned against the car door tightly, his whole body trembling, his lips bitten so tightly that bloodshot could be seen. His eyes were hollow and lifeless, even his tears had dried up. His face had completely lost its luster, leaving only a feeling of despair.
Seeing Gan Jing's current situation, Chen An was shocked and a bad premonition lingered in his heart.
"Sister Jing, Sister Jing." Chen An turned sideways and grabbed Gan Jing's shoulders, trying to help her get out of her emotions, but unfortunately it had no effect at all. Gan Jing's eyes were still empty, and she didn't even look at Chen An. She looked like she was immersed in her own world.
This scene seems familiar. When I first saw Xiao Ming from a distance, he looked like this, except that one was confused and the other was desperate...
Damn it, how could this woman have such a bad mental state? I haven’t even used my full strength yet.
I really wanted to raise my hand and slap Gan Jing, but that would be very troublesome and hard to explain.
Suddenly Chen An's eyes lit up, and he had an idea in mind. He stretched out two fingers and pinched hard...
Gan Jing, who was still immersed in boundless guilt and self-denial, felt a sharp pain in the tender flesh on the inside of her thigh. She gasped and reached out to grab Chen An's arm reflexively. Her face was distorted because of the pain...
