Chapter 2495 - 636: The Truth
The girl walked over, taking off her apron as she said, "No thanks, I’ll head back first; I’m afraid it might rain later."The owner and his wife didn’t insist on keeping her, but thoughtfully packed a serving of egg fried rice for her.
After thanking them, the girl quickly left.
This girl is Lu Yinxing.
Sure enough, halfway through, it started raining.
The rain grew heavier.
Lu Yinxing had no choice but to find a public phone booth to take shelter.
Sitting crouched on the little seat inside the booth.
Lu Yinxing took out the egg fried rice the owner’s wife had packed for her and started eating.
The egg fried rice was delicious.
But although it was a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, the taste had been altered quite a bit to cater to American preferences.
Ultimately, it’s difficult to find authentic flavors from back home.
Lu Yinxing finished the egg fried rice in just a few bites.
The heavy rain kept pouring down, showing no signs of stopping.
Lu Yinxing looked up at the night sky.
She could only see the mist rising from the rain-drenched ground in front of her.
Lu Yinxing had never thought that she had already been here for three years.
Three whole years.
On that day three years ago, she blindly believed Gong Xue’er’s words, decisively and without hesitation, boarding the plane to Los Angeles that very night.
Why did Lu Yinxing leave?
One reason was that, at the time, Lu Yinxing felt deeply disappointed, distressed, and conflicted in her heart.
Because she knew that her mother, Xia Yangyang, opposed her being with Xia Ye, and actively informed Gong Xue’er to take her away.
Back then, Lu Yinxing had always thought her departure wasn’t due to Gong Xue’er’s coercion or inducement but was a well-considered decision of her own.
But in reality, looking back now, it seems there was also an element of impulsiveness involved.
She kept telling herself that Xia Yangyang’s actions were understandable.
After all, in the eyes of society, her relationship with Xia Ye was deemed reprehensible.
She always told herself that, no matter what, the Gu Family gave her a complete childhood and youth, allowing her to live without worries; they had done nothing wrong to her.
On the contrary, to treat the daughter of an enemy so generously, they were already quite magnanimous.
But now, thinking back, Lu Yinxing realized how naive and innocent her thoughts had been.
She certainly didn’t foresee the darkness in this world, the maliciousness of people’s hearts would exceed her beliefs.
Because at that time, everything was merely a scheme by Gong Xue’er.
Now in hindsight, she realized how foolish she had been to doubt the mother who loved her so much.
Lu Yinxing originally thought everything that night in the hotel was what she had seen with her own eyes and heard with her own ears.
What could be more convincing than that?
But unexpectedly, everything was just arranged by Gong Xue’er.
That’s right; at that time, Lu Yinxing was in another room, hearing and seeing everything in the next suite through a special type of glass.
It was at that moment Lu Yinxing became convinced Xia Yangyang wanted to abandon her.
But everything was fake.
That night, Xia Yangyang did indeed come over.
But their conversation was completely different from what Lu Yinxing heard.
The glass was entirely soundproof.
And what Lu Yinxing heard was simply the result of Gong Xue’er employing a tech expert to simulate Xia Yangyang’s voice completely.
That’s why Lu Yinxing fell for it.
Later, after arriving in Los Angeles, Gong Xue’er didn’t plan to keep it from her.
She directly played the original recording for Lu Yinxing.
That’s when Lu Yinxing learned Xia Yangyang never intended to abandon her at any moment.
