Chapter 128 He's Going to Turn Himself In
“You want to know the mistakes you made, and I’ve told you. Whether you believe it or not is up to you. I’ve called you here for only one thing,” Chu Xinglan said coldly. “I want you to go to the police station and turn yourself in, so the police can judge you.”
"Huh?" Lu Yuan originally thought her words were outrageous and absurd enough, but he didn't expect there to be something even more absurd and outrageous.
So, because of that so-called mistake I made in my past life, I made him turn himself in to the police?
"Do you think the police are as stupid as I am?" Lu Yuan asked with amusement.
"You have no choice!" Chu Xinglan said coldly.
"What do you want if I don't do as you say? Kill me?" Lu Yuan looked at Gu Ye warily. Chu Xinglan wasn't scary; what was scary was the man beside her, who exuded a dangerous aura.
"No, we won't kill you. You're not worth our time." Chu Xinglan's tone shifted. "Weren't you eager to raise money for Xinyu's medical treatment?"
"So what if you know this?" Lu Yuan felt that her words were meaningless.
“I can pay for Xinyu’s surgery.” Chu Xinglan calmly looked at Lu Yuan.
"What did you say?" Lu Yuan could hardly believe his ears. "Why would you do this?"
"The premise is that you must go to the police station to turn yourself in and say that you harmed a girl and caused her tragic death," Chu Xinglan continued.
Lu Yuan stumbled. He was to go to the police station and turn himself in? To tell the police he'd hurt a girl? And this was supposed to be their past life? This was utterly absurd.
"Police rely on evidence. Do you think they'll believe such a far-fetched story?"
"You really want to cure your girlfriend's illness, right? How to make them believe it is your business, but you must be punished for what happened in your past life. I've said all I have to say. I can give you a day to consider it; this is my final act of leniency towards you." Chu Xinglan glanced coldly at Lu Yuan.
Her attitude was clear: if he didn't comply, she would do something beyond his control.
However, Chu Xinglan knew what he would do. Just like in his previous life when he helped Shirley for money, he would definitely agree to her conditions. Giving him a day was just to let him arrange the follow-up matters and to let him say goodbye to Xinyu properly.
Lu Yuan stood there, stunned.
"Gu Ye, let's go." Chu Xinglan didn't want to see him again. She would never let this man appear in front of her again. She was afraid that she would be unable to resist wanting to kill him again.
Gu Ye gently put his arm around Chu Xinglan's waist and left with her.
It took a long time for Lu Yuan to walk back home like a puppet.
Xinyu waited anxiously at home for him. When she saw him return looking terrible, she asked anxiously, "Ayuan, what did Miss Chu want with you so late? What did she say to you? Why do you look so pale?"
Lu Yuan seemed to wake up suddenly, staring blankly at Xin Yu.
"Ah Yuan, don't scare me. You're making me very worried."
Xinyu grabbed his arm and shook it repeatedly.
"Xinyu!" Lu Yuan reached out and gently touched her hair. He longed to see her with beautiful, jet-black hair and to restore her youthful vitality.
You had no choice!
Chu Xinglan's words echoed in his ears.
Yes, he had no choice. For her sake, he could only accept the conditions offered by Chu Xinglan.
It's absurd that he has to pay the price for his so-called past life, but in this light, he's actually gained something, since he's using his atonement for his past life to bring Xin Yu health.
Lu Yuan clenched his fist on Xin Yu's head and suddenly smiled.
"Ah Yuan, don't be like this, it scares me." Xin Yu frantically grabbed Lu Yuan's hand, tears welling up in her eyes. "What exactly did Miss Chu say to you? What made you like this?"
"Xinyu." Lu Yuan gazed at Xinyu with deep affection, holding her tightly in his arms.
"A-Yuan, what's wrong?" Xin-Yu asked.
“Miss Chu…” Lu Yuan began with difficulty, “She told me that I hurt a girl.”
"What do you mean by that?" Xin Yu looked up at him in surprise.
“It wasn’t just harm; I ruined her life and made her lose her child,” Lu Yuan continued with difficulty.
"This can't be true, she must be mistaken. You're not that kind of person." Xin Yu simply didn't believe Lu Yuan had done such a thing.
Lu Yuan looked at Xin Yu with deep affection but also helplessness. If he said it was the past life they were talking about, Xin Yu would probably be even less likely to believe it. To be honest, he still didn't believe it. But whether he believed it or not didn't matter anymore. What mattered was that he needed the money Chu Xinglan had mentioned, the money that could restore Xin Yu's health.
“She must have mistaken me for someone else. I’ll go find her and explain to her that she has mistaken me for someone else.”
Xin Yu was about to run out to explain to Chu Xinglan, but Lu Yuan immediately pulled her back.
"Xinyu, it's true. I forgot, but it really happened."
Lu Yuan could only tell Xin Yu this, hoping she would accept everything.
"No way, you're lying to me, you're lying to me, right?" Xinyu cried her heart out. "How could you do such a thing?"
“I didn’t want to believe it, but when she told me these things, I remembered.”
Xinyu, I'm sorry, this is the only way I can lie to you.
Xinyu covered her mouth with her hand to stifle her sobs, but tears streamed down her face. She sat on the chair in despair, sobbing uncontrollably.
How could this happen? How could A Yuan do such a thing?
Lu Yuan just stood there sadly, watching her, unable to say anything to comfort her. When he told her these things, he was destined to hurt her.
"Then what do you want? What is Miss Chu trying to do by telling you all this?" It took Xinyu a long time to recover. She raised her head blankly and stared at Lu Yuan.
"I'm going to turn myself in!"
"Turn yourself in?" Xin Yu was startled. "You'll go to jail!"
"I know!" Lu Yuan's voice choked with emotion.
"You're going to jail, what am I going to do? Are you going to abandon me? Don't you want me anymore?" Xin Yu frantically pulled at her hair, feeling like she wanted to die for a moment.
"Xinyu, don't do this." Lu Yuan quickly hugged her, stopping her from hurting herself.
He couldn't tell her that if he turned himself in, Chu Xinglan would give him money to have the surgery.
"A-Yuan, let's not turn ourselves in, okay? Let's just pretend this never happened." Xin Yu selfishly wanted to keep Lu Yuan with her; she would rather accept the fact than let Lu Yuan turn himself in.
“Turning yourself in is the only and best outcome. Miss Chu knows about this. If I don’t turn myself in, she will call the police, and then it will be even harder for me to escape punishment,” Lu Yuan comforted her.
"I'll go beg her, beg her to have pity on us and let you go!" Xin Yu cried, trying to rush out to find Chu Xinglan.
