Shi Guang nodded her head. “I am. You?”
Lu Yanchen parked the car at the side of the road and only asked after composing his emotions. “What happened just now?”
Shi Guang replied softly, “I don’t know either. He seed to have mistaken for so mistress that you were keeping on the outside.”
“It’s a month away from the new year. By then, it’ll be ti for our wedding.” He was telling her that he would declare to the world that she was his—Lu Yanchen’s wife.
“You and Shi Ze...” Shi Guang asked warily, “Actually, Qian Xun had told a little about what happened between you and him. She did not tell the exact details, and neither did she know herself, rely saying that Shi Ze’s father had killed soone and they requested you make a false statent. However, you told the truth and...”
Lu Yanchen shuddered for a mont before laughing bitterly. “In life, there are never things that happen without a reason. Everything has its cause. And, the reason why I fell into the waters was because I pointed out a murderer.”
Shi Guang held his hand. “Would you tell what happened?”
Lu Yanchen looked at him, his mind recalling those events that he had seemingly almost forgotten so that he could relate them slowly to Shi Guang.
Back then, Shi Ze’s father had an affair with a woman with a husband. As to who it was, Lu Yanchen did not know. However, after Shi Ze’s mother found out about it, she created a ruckus in the Shi Family.
The Shis were nothing but a small family, whereas Shi Ze’s mother was a relative of the Shens, Lu Yanchen’s distant auntie. Naturally, Shi Ze’s father did not dare to offend her.
He had to rely on the Shens, yet he was indignant about being oppressed by his own wife. Because of that indignance, he often drank heavily outside to burrow himself in his sorrows.
On the day of the incident, Lu Yanchen had accompanied his grandpa to a tea restaurant to visit his grandpa’s old friend. As his grandpa chatted with his friend, Lu Yanchen wandered around the tea restaurant. Coincidentally, he bumped into Shi Ze’s father quarreling with a waiter.
More accurately, it was Shi Ze’s father scolding that waiter.
For so reason, that waiter had offended Shi Ze’s father. At that point, Shi Ze’s father was extrely angry. Reeking of alcohol, he gave the waiter a heavy kick.
The waiter scolded Shi Ze’s father in return. Probably because he was already suffering from the grievances of his wife at ho, Shi Ze’s father vented all his frustrations of his wife onto the waiter.
He gave the waiter two tight slaps, cussing his wife while he was doing that. Eventually, he even pushed that waiter off the stairs, remarking, “Go and die, sl*t!”
That waiter fell off the stairs to his death.
The huge commotion attracted a crowd. Because Lu Yanchen was a witness, he was naturally held there as well.
Shi Ze and his mother ca looking for Lu Yanchen, beseeching him to tell a lie that he had rely seen Shi Ze’s father fighting with the waiter, and that he did not push the other down.
They wanted him to say that the waiter had lost his own footing.
However, Lu Yanchen had witnessed it personally. As a friend, he thought of giving a false statent. After all, that was, at the end of the day, his good friend’s father and his distant uncle-in-law.
But, when he saw how badly the waiter’s parents were weeping, he was swayed—the life of a common family’s child was a life as well. How could he look down on soone’s life as such?
He told his grandpa everything. Naturally, his grandpa told him to speak the truth, sothing which he felt he should too.
Because of that, Shi Ze’s father was sentenced...
