Young Master Lu's Lovely New Bride

Chapter 276 Past Gratitude or Resentment

After hearing what Lu Boyan said, Su Jianan finally knew what happened in the past—it was much complicated and dangerous than she imagined.

Years ago, the local villain hated by everyone in City A was Kang Chengtian, Kang Ruicheng’s father.

Kang Chengtian was a wicked person, but he was sly like a fox. He never made a mistake, and with ferocious nature, there was no one who stood out to report him. The police had been keeping an eye on him, but they could never find evidence of his crimes.

There had been people undercover. In the end, those young people who had just come out of the police school were all dead or injured, so no one dared to send more people to work undercover.

A few years later, it took countless effort for the police to finally get some evidence of Kang Chengtia’s wrongdoings. His group of legal advisors found a scapegoat and helped him get away with it, so they could only see the lawyers to prove that Kang Chengtian was “innocent”.

As a last resort, the police had to get more powerful lawyers from outside, but at that time Kang Chengtian was already “famous,” and no lawyer dared to accept the case.

At that time, the barrister who was best at criminal cases was Lu Boyan’s father. The police went to him wituout hope, and they did not expect that Lu Boyan’s father would agree at once.

After several court sessions and heated arguments, Lu Boyan’s father finally found more powerful evidence than the police to sue Kang Chengtian and handed it to the court. The jury unanimously decided to sentence Kang Chengtian to death.

After the results of the trial came out, the city cheered. Lu Boyan’s father not only became a model of the legal profession, but also became a hero in the eyes of everyone in the entire A city.

But he also became the the biggest enemy to Kang Ruicheng, Kang Chengtian’s son.

At that time, Kang Ruicheng was in his early twenties and was still studying abroad. Only in the summer and winter vacations he would return to China to learn something from Kang Chengtian. He did not expect that something could suddenly happen to Kang Chengtian. So after he came back to see his father across the glass plate of the prison for the last time, he had already lost him.

Kang Ruicheng returned to the country after school suspension, and took over the family affairs with the help of several uncles. But he was too young to convince people, so after the death of his father, the police acted against them; many strongholds had been destroyed. The minions left one after the other, and the once splendid Kang family was being disintegrated bit by bit…

The sense of powerlessness gave birth to inner hatred. Kang Ruicheng went to Lu Boyan’s father more than once. Lu Boyan’s father underestimated the beast inside that young man’s heart. He only advised him not to repeat his father’s mistakes and asked him to start again, to be a good person for the rest of this life.

“I hate you!” Kang Chengtian had inherited his cruelty to Kang Ruicheng. He yelled at Lu Boyan’s father, “You killed my father, and one day I will kill you!”

Lu Boyan’s father shook his head and said, “Your father was not killed by anyone. He just paid the price for what he did. It was the law to sentence him to death.”

“You shut up. I will kill you!” Kang Ruicheng’s eyes turned red, where hatred was wildly surging.

Lu Boyan’s father did not take Kang Ruicheng’s words seriously and planned to take the family to go out for a trip.

The day before their departure, he took Lu Boyan to buy a tent.

The things that happened on that day, Lu Boyan was never willing to recall them again.

He and his father planned the trip, and everything was fine. In the next second, a big truck suddenly rushed straight to them.

He saw it very clearly. It was Kang Ruicheng on the driver’s seat of the big truck.

The truck was like a monster, and it opened its mouth and rushed over, knocking over their car.

In the most dangerous moment, his father used his flesh to protect him. In addition to the pain, he felt a warm liquid dripping onto his face. It was the blood of his father. He was shaking and clutching his father’s clothes. But failed to retain him.

His father did not even have the opportunity to say the last sentence and died.

Hearing from his mother that he had rarely cried when he was a child, she said that he would accumulate tears.

He accumulated tears for sixteen years, and the moment his father closed his eyes, they fell in half an hour.

That serious traffic accident was finally judged as an accident. It was the temporary brake failure of the truck what made it hit his father’s car. The person who pleaded guilty was not Kang Ruicheng, but a middle-aged man.

No matter how Lu Boyan told the police that the driver was Kang Ruicheng, the police did not believe it and said that Kang Ruicheng had sufficient proof of absence.

Tang Yulan could not accept the fact that her husband had died. She collapsed at once. Instead, Lu Boyan was calm and asked the school for a long vacation to take care of his father’s funeral. Seeing his tall father become ash, he felt that there was no man who had the same blood as his and would encourage him with that kind look anymore.

His father’s graveyard was chosen by him personally, near the mountain and by the river. He knew that his father would like it.

On the day of his father’s burial, LuBoyan did not cry. He just vowed in his heart: he would never forget and not let go of the real murderer who killed his father.

Kang Ruicheng actually came to say something similar to him. He said, “It is not enough for your father to die. You and your mother are all going to die! But I haven’t thought about how to torture you, I’ll let you live for a few days more! Wait for it, I will come back and take away your life!”

Tang Yulan had already seen Kang Ruicheng’s cruel streak. She had no husband and could no longer lose her son. So she took Lu Boyan away.

Even so, Kang Ruicheng was everywhere. No matter where they moved, he could find them. He didn’t do anything to them, but asked people to rush into the house in the middle of the night, intimidating them, smashing all the furniture, and inserting knives into the bed.

Lu Boyan had not seen Tang Yulan begging someone for a lifetime, but in those days, Tang Yulan would have to plead every time when she saw Kang Ruicheng, and only asked Kang Ruicheng to let him go.

Kang Ruicheng just laughed like a poisonous snake, and was very happy. “I will not let go of any people who have a relationship with Lu, including your son!”

Later, thanks to the destiny, Tang Yulan met Su Jianan’s mother, and they moved in the old house of Su Jianan’s grandmother—even if Kang Ruicheng could find it, it would not be easy for them to rush in.

Tang Yulan was still not relieved, and she always felt that Kang Ruicheng would bring people there. She often woke up in the middle of the night, crashing and crying. Lu Boyan had to sleep on the sofa in her room to accompany her.

It would not solve the problem, so Su Jianan’s mother thought of a way for Tang Yulan to put their shoes on the beach, creating the illusion that they had committed to suicide with her only son because of grief.

At that time, the incident caused a sensation in City A, and there were many different opinions. However, after a few days, it was forgotten.

The Kang family also completely declined. After Kang Ruicheng went abroad, there was no news of him at all, until a while ago.

Then, Kang Ruicheng recognized Lu Boyan, knowing that the suicide in the past was only a scam, and he was carrying the name of a murder case of Lu Boyan’s father. There would inevitably be a confrontation between them.

It turned out that there were so many things that Su Jianan did not know, and some doubts in her heart were finally clear.

Why did Lu Boyan occasionally have a nightmare, mentioning his father? Why did his look always become deep and difficult to understand? Why was Tang Yulan not willing to leave the house? Why did the open-minded old lady occasionally look sad?

The room fell into silence for a long time. Su Jianan asked with a low voice, “Boyan, why didn’t you tell me before?”

“I thought we could only be husband and wife for two years,” Lu Boyan said, “I don’t want you to know too much, so that you…” He stopped talking, which was rare to see.

Su Jianan had already guessed the lines he had not said, “Are you afraid that I would leave you if I knew?”

Lu Boyan was a bit awkward, and said, “Hmm”.

The glamorous president Lu would actually fear that a woman would leave him. What an unnecessary reason.

Su Jianan didn’t know whether she should be happy or despise Lu Boyan, holding his hand. “You can’t say that I am stupid in the future! You are not necessarily smarter than me!”

How could she leave him? She would only accompany him, watching him send Kang Ruicheng to prison, then clapping her hands and cheering him up, and finally giving him a hug.

Now she did the thing that she was supposed to do, holding him tightly in her arms like how Lu Boyan did when comforting her. “I will not leave you, no matter what happens. I will always be with you.”

“Jianan, Kang Ruicheng didn’t come back for simple reasons. Now staying with me is very dangerous,” Lu Boyan said, “I have thought about telling you everything, to let yourself make some choices.” But he chose to hide it from her because he was afraid that she might leave him.

Su Jianan touched his forehead. “My choice, I didn’t say it clearly enough?”

Lu Boyan gently pulled Su Jianan into his arms and said, “Thank you.”

When they first got married, he would occasionally show his gratefulness to her and thanked her.

But it was different at the moment.

Right then, he had admitted that he needed Su Jianan, and he couldn’t live without her. She was willing to stay with him, so he not only thanked her, but also thanked fate for being so kind to him.

Su Jianan didn’t want to make the atmosphere dignified and smiled. “The ancients said, ‘no words can express the gratitude toward great kindness,’ so don’t thank me! Just remember to love me every day!”

Lu Boyan suddenly smiled. He gently kissed Su Jianan on her lips. “I will love you every second.”

Su Jianan’s eyes suddenly shone like stars. “I have to remember this sentence!”

Lu Boyan thought that she would say that this was his promise, and she would write it down and ask him to perform. Unexpectedly, she said, “The sweet words you’ve told me make less than three sentences. This one is the best! I’m sorry that I used to secretly question your level…”

The atmosphere of awkwardness disappeared at once. Lu Boyan suddenly bit on Su Jianan’s neck, and she screamed to avoid, but the bed was only so big, where could she hide?

In the end, Su Jianan couldn’t remember what was going on and ended up hiding in Lu Boyan’s arms. Her hands were tightly wrapped around his waist, responding to his passionate kiss…
