"Auntie, are you sure what you saw is Ruxu?" Yan Ju frowned slightly, trying to sound calm as he asked.

Aunt Lin just turned her back to him, she probably didn't notice the subtle changes in him, she still replied briskly: "That's right, such a handsome guy, I won't admit my mistake."

"But Mr. Chu didn't look very happy at the time. Did you guys quarrel?"

Yan Ju didn't answer directly, but just responded casually: "Auntie, please be busy first, I'll go to the backyard to get some air."

After speaking, he dug out the unopened packets of cigarettes and lighters from the pile of odds and ends at the door that hadn't had time to clean them up, and went straight out the door clutching them.

The backyard was still barren, no different from the last time he came, except that the free-growing weeds seemed to grow denser and taller.

Standing under the eaves, Yan Yan lit a cigarette slowly, even though the thin white mist slowly steamed upwards, he still had no intention of putting it on his lips.

Chu Ruxu did come to Jingcheng in the middle of last month, but he was not in a good condition at the time, so the other party said that he asked his assistant because he was worried about him, but Yan Ju didn't go into details.

Although Aunt Lin didn't remember the exact date, she was very sure that she saw Chu Ruxu at her door in those few days, and it shouldn't be a fake.

But logically speaking, Chu Ruxu shouldn't know his past, nor should he know this address.

Yan Yu was inexplicably uncomfortable.

It's not that he suspects that Chu Ruxu will do something bad to him, but mainly because of his disgust for being concealed by his lover.

After calmly sorting out the cause and effect, Yan Ju lightly took a sip of the half-burned cigarette.

The relationship between him and Bai Lu started with deception and ended in embarrassment amid countless concealment and falsehoods. Although Yan Yan can guarantee that he will not care about the gains and losses in it, and will not pursue whose fault the failure of this relationship is.

But he also has to admit that the mind control behavior Bo Lu used on him, which is difficult to discover from the ordinary details of life, is precise and takes a long time to execute, inevitably deepens his distrust of others.

The reason why Juan dared to confess to Chu Ruxu was only the result of liking, touching, and many complicated emotions.

Yan Jue still doesn't feel that he trusts Chu Ruxu enough, he just chooses to reveal the most "unbearable" part of himself to the other party during the budding period of their relationship like a broken can.

In this way, even if the other party can't accept it, it can make him less unrealistic, and the separation after the passion fades can be easier.

Yan Yu originally thought so.

But Chu Ruxu's acceptance and handling of Yan Ji's masochistic exposure far exceeded Yan Ji's expectations.

He never expected that Chu Ruxu could bring him such a spiritual touch while giving him a satisfactory result.

But what if all this is also false?

What if Chu Ruxu already knew about these things?

What if he, like Bai Lu, had carefully planned, used the most vulnerable part of his personality, and let himself fall into the trap step by step, giving himself the illusion of a "perfect lover"?

Yan Ju didn't even have the courage to think in a dark direction.

Because this is really scary.

Bo Lu failed to make him plan to devote himself to a relationship, but Chu Ruxu almost did it in just one month.

The relationship between Yan Ju and Chu Ruxu is based on openness, tolerance and honesty.

What moved Yan Ju was Chu Ruxu's sincerity and enthusiasm, recklessness and gentleness, as well as those emotional protection and meticulous care in life.

If these are fake, they are tricks aimed at oneself...

Yan Ju stomped out the cigarette butt a little annoyed, and immediately lit another one.

He won't allow himself to make the same mistake twice.

If there is even the slightest bit of ambiguity, it is not worth him to take a second look.

Yan Jue directly dialed Kang Xueqing's number.

"Yan, Mr. Yan!" Assistant Kang connected very quickly, as if taken aback, "I was still hesitating whether to call you just now."

Yan Ju frowned: "Because of the lawyer?"

Kang Xueqing: "Yes, but not all."

"Boss Boss just sent something to my mailbox, it seems to be about Mr. Chu..." Kang Xueqing said tentatively, sounding a little guilty, "He said that after reading this, you might want to contact him. "

"I didn't block him because—" Yan Ju's attitude was a little impatient, and he explained half of the explanation, but as if he felt that there was no need to explain, he gently exhaled a puff of smoke, letting the nicotine make him restless The state appeases.

After a short pause, this neurotransmitter finally took effect. Yan Ji calmed down, but his tone still sounded full of displeasure: "Send it to me, I will read it later."

"By the way, Xueqing." Yan Ju pursed his lips, trying to hide his hostility, and asked as gently as possible, "Do you remember that when I came to Jingcheng last month, Chu Ruxu asked you Have you passed the address of my hotel?"

Kang Xueqing was obviously a little stunned, but she was only slightly stunned for a few seconds before reacting: "Remember, he acted quite anxious at the time. I was afraid that it was something about your privacy, so I didn't dare to ask more, so I just told him The address was given to him."

Yan Ju's face softened slightly.

At least Chu Ruxu didn't lie on this point.

"Then do you remember the exact date?" Yan Ju asked again.

Kang Xueqing hesitated and thought for a moment: "I can't remember the exact date, but it should be the night you arrived in Jingcheng."

"Because it started to rain heavily in Ningcheng that afternoon, and the flights were all suspended. I offered to help him book a high-speed rail ticket, but Xiao Chu said that there was no suitable time, and planned to drive there that night."

Sure enough, Chu Ruxu may have come a day earlier than he told himself.

But why lie to yourself?

Yan Yu couldn't help frowning.

After hanging up the phone, Kang Xueqing quickly forwarded Bo Lu's email. Inside were several PDFs with simple and rude titles. The straightforward "Chu Ruxu 1" and "Chu Ruxu 2" seemed to be afraid of words. Refused to click in to see the same.

Although he didn't tell the other party about Chu Ruxu's identity that day, according to Bo Lu's temperament, he must find a way to get it back in private after suffering a dull loss.

Ever since Yan Ju and the two got together, although they didn't intentionally show off when they went out, they never deliberately concealed anything. It's not unusual for Bo Lu to find out Chu Ruxu's background.

Yan Ju casually opened the first one, thinking that it would contain detailed information about Chu Ruxu, but unexpectedly it was an old news item from seven years ago.

Yan Ju read it roughly, and the general content seemed to be that a truck rear-ended a private car in the western suburbs of the city, killing four people on the spot and injuring seven others.

At first glance, it seems like an unremarkable accident, one of the man-made disasters that happen every day in all corners of the world.

However, at the end of the report, there are two special words that make this report a little weird.

[According to people familiar with the matter, the truck driver was not injured in the accident, but committed suicide by taking medicine shortly after the accident, and died after being sent to the hospital after rescue failed. 】

[At the same time, two boys were found inside the van. One of them had been dead for nearly three days due to severe dehydration, and the other was not life-threatening except for skin trauma. With the help of medical staff, relatives have been contacted and have been discharged safely . 】

[The cause of the accident is still under investigation. 】

But what does this have to do with Chu Ruxu?

Suddenly, Yan Ju suddenly recalled Yao Chi's hesitation at the banquet that day when he heard that he and Chu Ruxu were getting close.

The outside world only knew the cause of Chu Qianze's death as a "car accident" in general, and no one knew the details.

There may have been some specific rumors in the early years, but when Yan Ju entered this circle, the Chu family had probably blocked the news, so whenever they talked about the deceased young master of the Chu family, everyone would just talk about it. Complaining about "accidents" and half-truthfully expressing "regret".

Without Chu Ruxu's existence, Yan Ju might never have any extra interest in Chu Qianze in his life.

Maybe Chu Qianze was not the victim of the unlucky rear-end collision in the private car ahead, but the dehydrated boy in the van?And Yao Chi also said that Chu Ruxu had something to do with Chu Qianze's death, wouldn't that be...

Thinking of this, Yan Ju's expression was solemn, and he had a faint guess in his heart.

Regarding the authenticity of this report, Yan Ju didn't have much doubt. Since Bo Lu dared to send something to him in front of him openly at this time, it meant that it couldn't be fabricated.

Although the Bai family is not as stable and powerful as the Chu family, it is considered one of the top companies in Ningcheng, so the things Bai Lu found must be accurate.

This was no small matter. If the little boy who survived was really Chu Ruxu, then he and his brother's body had probably been alone in the dark carriage for at least three days.

Just thinking of this possibility, Yan Ju's heart felt as if someone had squeezed it hard, with an indescribably painful pain.

It hurt so much that he almost forgot that there was still some deception in the relationship between the two of them, like an unexploded bomb faintly jumping under the perfect appearance.

Chu Jing was so partial to Chu Qianze, it was almost impossible not to anger Chu Ruxu after this incident.

But why does Chu Ruxu look so... normal?

Yan Ju thought for a long time, but couldn't find a more appropriate adjective.

He looks so sunny and clean, like a happy child who has never been wronged.

An unloved illegitimate child, he spent his childhood alone away from his parents and brothers.

If, as Chu Ruxu told him, all misfortunes only ended here, then "good mentality" can also explain it.

It can be said that Ju now knows that his biological mother committed suicide due to depression, and also has a glimpse of what role Chu Ruxu played when Chu Qianze died, and can guess from this how Chu Jing treated him harshly...

Chu Ruxu shouldn't be the one he knew.

This idea inexplicably popped up in Yan Ju's mind.

He should be as in the rumors, or even go too far, Yan Ji is understandable.

It's an unreasonable thing to like.

Obviously at this moment Yan Ju should be more suspicious, the other party must be deceiving in this relationship.

But he only felt that Chu Ruxu was so pitiful.

Yan Ji's fingers hovered over the second document for a while, and finally he chose to press to turn off the screen.

He was sure that there would be some negative things about Chu Ruxu in it, Bo Lu would not do useless work, the purpose of the other party was to make him feel disgusted with Chu Ruxu.

But Yan Ju is not ready to continue watching now.

Yan Ju wanted to hear what Chu Ruxu had to say, instead of knowing everything preconceived from the perspective of others.

He was going to be honest with Chu Ruxu like this, so he also hoped to be treated like this.

"Brother, why are you hiding here smoking?" Chu Ruxu's clear voice came from behind with a bright smile, "Didn't you say you want to quit?"

Yan Ju turned to face him, the gloom between his brows and eyes dissipated a lot, and he even forced a stiff smile.

But Chu Ruxu was still sensitive to find something wrong, he asked with some doubts: "What happened?"

Yan Ju wanted to shake his head, he wanted to find a more suitable time, and asked slowly and tentatively.

Preferably after drinking, preferably at night, so that even if it turns out to be unseemly for both of them, they can temporarily relieve their out-of-control emotions by going to bed.

Forget it.

Yan Ju twitched the corners of his lips, he still couldn't spoil the child all the time.

He extinguished the cigarette held between his fingertips on the window sill, and exhaled the last puff of smoke in the direction of Chu Ruxu. In the hazy and thin tobacco breath, there was a bit of mint sharpness hidden.

Yan Ju walked to the other party's side, hugged him tenderly, and rubbed Chu Ruxu's shoulder with his forehead nostalgicly: "I just heard something and received something."

Chu Ruxu had just taken a shower, and her body smelled like bath liquid.

Tangelo fruits are mixed with some lemongrass, refreshing and refreshing, very suitable for summer.

"It's all about you." Yan Ju touched the other party's neck with his lips, and reminded him softly, "Ruxu, I like honest children."

"Is there anything you want to take the initiative to tell me?"
