lu yinxi was dumbfounded.

she couldn’t believe that this was all true.

the girl’s fair cheeks were losing all their color at a visible speed. lu ziai stared at lu yinxi’s pale face. at this moment, lu yinxi was like a porcelain doll that was about to break. she only needed to knock it lightly, and the porcelain doll would fall apart.

she saw lu yinxi’s expression after she learned the truth.

she was indeed very surprised and shocked.

however, lu ziai did not feel the thrill of revenge.

“why?” lu yinxi’s mind was filled with questions. she wanted to grab her aunt’s clothes, but when she thought about how the person in front of her was the real murderer who had killed her parents back then, lu yinxi wanted to stay as far away from her as possible.

lu yinxi’s heart was in pain.

how could the truth be like this?

although his aunt had a cold personality, she had taken him in all these years, helped him, and fought for him. just a few days ago, she had even saved him once.

how could such a good aunt be the murderer of her parents?

” auntie, you’re lying to me! ” lu yinxi shouted at lu ziai. after she shouted, her own voice cracked, and lu yinxi’s tears fell.

she walked toward lu ziai.

she said, ” auntie, you’re lying to me. you like me and you’re my auntie. you can’t be a murderer. ” lu yinxi walked up to lu ziai.

lu yinxi stretched out her hands and carefully tried to hold lu ziai.

lu ziai didn’t move, and lu yinxi wrapped her arms around his thin waist.

lu ziai’s body stiffened.

she heard lu yinxi cry and beg her. she said, ” auntie, i’m begging you to tell me that this is all fake. aunt, you lied to me. yinxi must have done something wrong. you said this on purpose to punish me. auntie, you’re not the murderer of my parents, right?”

“they are your brothers and sisters-in-law, how could you kill your own brother?”

lu yinxi would rather die than admit that all of this was true.

she ordered lu ziai to deny this fact.

it was as if she could really pretend that nothing had happened if lu ziai said no.

she was lying to herself.

lu ziai suddenly pulled lu yinxi away from him and pushed her away. lu yinxi took a few steps back, tripped, and fell on her butt.

lu ziai pointed at lu yinxi and shouted in a hoarse voice, ” lu yinxi! i’m not lying to you, everything i said is true, i’m the murderer of your parents! you don’t believe me?”

lu ziai cruelly recounted the process of killing lu zide and his wife. ” let me tell you how i killed your parents! you listen well! it was very cold that night, so i knocked on your door and your mother held your hand to open the door.”

“there’s an electric grill in your living room, so the house is very warm. you’re wearing a pink cloak and your mother told you to call me aunt. you obediently called me aunt and even let me hug you.”

“when i used a sharpening stick to kill your mother, you were so scared that your face turned white and you couldn’t make a sound. you curled up in the corner of the sofa and watched me press your mother’s knees to the ground, shaking your head like crazy.”

“have you forgotten all of this?”

when lu ziai was recounting his crimes, he was calm and composed, and his tone was not flustered. she sounded like she was reading a letter, and there was even a sense of depression and frustration.

in fact, when she had mentioned the pink cloak, lu yinxi knew that lu ziai was telling the truth. she had worn that jacket before. when her grandmother passed away, she had seen it when she was cleaning up the house.

seeing that lu yinxi didn’t say anything and just stared at him, lu ziai thought that she still didn’t believe him, so he said, ” you still don’t believe me? i also want to hear how your father died.”

lu yinxi suddenly hugged her head and roared, ” stop talking! i believe you! i’ll believe it!”

she didn’t have the courage to seriously listen to how her father was slaughtered again.

lu ziai’s lips quivered for a moment, but he did not continue.

there were only the two of them on the wide rooftop. lu ziai stood and lu yinxi sat. neither of them spoke.

lu yinxi sniffled and wiped her tears. she looked up at lu ziai and asked him in a trembling voice, ” why did you kill my parents? is it because my father disapproved of you being with that person?”

“bullshit!” lu ziai, who had been calm just now, suddenly became furious.

she was blaming lu yinxi for saying the wrong thing.

lu yinxi trembled at her roar.

lu ziai looked at lu yinxi with resentment. “who’s in my way when i’m dating wheatley? i just like a woman! it’s fine if mom doesn’t understand and wants to sever ties with me, but how could she hurt wheatley!” lu ziai seemed to be asking lu yinxi, but also seemed to be asking god.

lu ziai’s words revealed a different message to lu yinxi.

as far as lu yinxi knew, there was no story of grandma hurting wheatley. lu yinxi felt indignant for her grandmother. she said, ” when did grandma hurt that person? she wouldn’t do that kind of thing.”

“you won’t?” lu ziai looked like he had heard a joke. ” do you think your grandma is a good person? ”

lu yinxi wanted to say that her grandmother was a good person, but she wasn’t sure.

humans were multifaceted.

grandma was good to her, but that didn’t mean that she hadn’t done bad things in her life.

lu yinxi’s silence made lu ziai feel better.

lu ziai stared at lu yinxi with a calm gaze that made lu yinxi’s hair stand on end. lu yinxi felt uneasy. she really thought that lu ziai would kill her.

lu ziai suddenly asked lu yinxi, ” aren’t you curious why a talented woman like your mother would marry your father? ”

mrs. lu was born into a family of scholars. her parents were both professors and she was a ballet dancer. on the other hand, the lu family was an ordinary family. when lu zide was young, he wasn’t considered a young hero.

they were not of the same social status, so it was indeed a little strange that mrs. lu would marry boss lu.

lu yinxi was confused.

why did her aunt drag her parents ‘marriage into this?

lu yinxi shook her head in confusion.

” it’s because of your mother. she was born infertile! ” lu ziai said.

“you’re talking nonsense!” lu yinxi was furious. ” if she’s infertile, how did i come to be? ”

“yup!” lu ziai didn’t mind lu yinxi’s scolding. she deliberately put on a puzzled expression and asked lu yinxi, ” so, how did an infertile woman give birth to a daughter? i’m really curious.”

lu yinxi looked at her aunt, and a sorrowful guess flashed through her mind. “i … am i adopted by them?”

“no, you’re not adopted.”

“then …?” lu yinxi was completely lost.

since her mother was infertile and she was not adopted, how did she come to be?
