Chapter 1504 The truth is revealed, everything ends
Chen Lulu felt as if she was in a dark, bottomless abyss. The boulder of public opinion kept pressing down on her like a surging tide, making it extremely difficult for her to breathe. Every breath was accompanied by excruciating pain.
She was like a wounded beast trapped in a cage, roaring in despair but unable to find any way out.
The overwhelming abuse and accusations were like countless sharp thorns that pierced her body, leaving her covered in bruises. Even the hotel door became a terrifying boundary that she dared not cross.
In extreme fear and helplessness, she seemed to have grasped the last straw and contacted Nan Yifeng's father with trembling hands.
Her voice trembled like a candle in the wind, and every word was filled with endless sorrow and despair. Her sobbing voice was like torn silk, which made people feel heartbroken.
“Please,” her words were filled with pleading, as if she had already used up all her strength, “Don’t send those things anymore, teacher… I really give up… I can’t stand it anymore.”
Her voice became lower and lower, almost turning into a whisper, but the pain and helplessness in it became more and more obvious.
"Please let me go, let my poor child go, please!"
This was her last cry and also the truest wish in her heart.
However, she herself didn't know whether this plea could move the other party.
"But...I have one last request," she paused, as if gathering her courage. "Teacher, please come to the hotel to see me, one last time. Then I'll leave and go back abroad."
Her tone was extremely firm, as if this was her final bottom line.
If the other party cannot meet this requirement, she doesn't know how she can face this cruel reality.
"If I hadn't come, Chen Lulu, I wouldn't believe anything I say to you now."
"If you don't come, I will jump off the building!" These words exploded in the air like thunder.
Her determination is chilling, and it also reveals the extent of her inner despair.
The determination revealed in her words seemed like her last struggle in this dark abyss.
Nan Yifeng's father is not actually a cold-blooded person, but he is definitely not a stupid person either.
Faced with this date full of unknown dangers, he certainly would not go alone.
He knew very well that Chen Lulu had fallen into a state of near insanity and no one knew what she would do.
In this situation, in order to ensure his own safety, he decided to take his wife with him.
In this way, even if there is an emergency, there is at least one person to take care of each other.
Moreover, having his wife by his side can make him feel more at ease and confident.
Just as they were on their way to the hotel, they were stopped by Nan Xi and Du Yunxi.
Nan Xi's eyes revealed a calmness and decisiveness, while Du Yunxi's was a little concerned and worried.
They dissuaded Nan Yifeng's father and finally decided that the two of them would go and meet Chen Lulu.
The moment the door slowly opened, Chen Lulu's eyes, which were originally full of expectation, instantly became alert. Her body unconsciously took a step back, and her hands tightly grasped the door frame, as if this could give her some sense of security.
She widened her eyes and asked warily, "Who are you?"
Nan Xi took a step forward, looking at Chen Lulu calmly and firmly, and said, "We are Nan Yifeng's adoptive parents and good friends of Nan Yifeng's father. Nan Yifeng's biological father won't see you. If you have anything to say, just tell us. The 10% of shares you want is what we give to Nan Yifeng and Nan Weiwei."
His voice was steady and powerful, as if erecting a solid barrier in this chaotic situation.
Chen Lulu felt as if an invisible hand was strangling her throat. She was on the verge of collapse, and her hysterics erupted like a flood. "No... I want to see him. If he doesn't come to see me, I will jump."
She screamed at the top of her lungs, her body shaking violently with excitement, and her feet moved uncontrollably towards the window, as if she was about to jump at the next second.
Du Yunxi seemed to have seen through her tricks. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile. That smile was like the cold wind in winter, icy and biting: "Go ahead and jump. Anyway, we have taken safety measures below. You won't die if you jump. However, we will also increase public opinion measures. By then, your child..."
She deliberately dragged out the ending of the word, her eyes full of threats.
"You... are despicable..."
Chen Lulu was so angry that she was shaking all over, pointing her fingers at Nan Xi and Du Yunxi, as if this could vent her anger.
Her face flushed red and her eyes were bloodshot, like a mad female beast.
Nan Xi frowned, an impatient look on his face. He didn't want to waste time with this crazy woman here: "Okay, we are not here to listen to your nonsense. Whatever you want to say to my brother, we will tell him."
His voice was low and powerful, with undeniable authority.
Chen Lulu felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over her head, and she instantly became depressed.
She sat weakly on the edge of the bed, her hair scattered messily on her shoulders, her eyes empty and confused.
She looked at Nan Xi and Du Yunxi with a complicated look, showing anger, unwillingness, and deep despair.
In the end, all the words in her heart seemed to be stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say a word.
She originally thought that Nan Yifeng's father would come alone, and she also carefully planned some means, intending to use them at the critical moment to buy herself a chance of survival.
Unexpectedly, the people who came were Nan Yifeng's adoptive parents, which completely disrupted her plans.
Her heart was as clear as a mirror. Once she spoke out the unspeakable things she had experienced, they would spread quickly to everyone's ears like wings. By then, everyone would know about her ugly deeds.
This last bit of dignity is like her last fig leaf in this world. If even this is torn off, then she will really have nothing left.
So, no matter what, she must not let this happen. She must stick to her bottom line and must not throw away her dignity so easily.
"It's no big deal. Just consider this as my loss. In fact, nothing happened between us. He was drunk that night and doesn't remember a thing. You can tell him that I'm planning to return home, and the child... isn't his. Let's just leave it at that. It's all over."
She spoke weakly, her voice as light as a falling leaf, as if she had used up all her strength.
Du Yunxi raised her chin slightly, her eyes full of undisguised disgust, as if she had seen something filthy, and glanced at Chen Lulu with contempt.
She had been looking forward to hearing something shocking and eye-opening from Chen Lulu. After all, the commotion Chen Lulu had caused before was not a small one, and it seemed as if it was going to turn the whole world upside down.
But who could have imagined that we would only receive these two bland and compromising words. It was like a drama that was thought to be wonderful, but ended abruptly as soon as it began, leaving everyone very disappointed.
Du Yunxi's lips curled up into a mocking smile, and she said coldly, "Haha, so this is all you can do. I didn't expect that after all this time, involving a whole group of people, you only have this little bit of ability. In that case... we will tell him. It's getting late, and Miss Chen Lulu should pack up and book her plane ticket. We won't bother you anymore, Miss Chen Lulu."
She deliberately emphasized the word "Miss" with an indescribable irony.
Then, like a teacher instructing a student, she spoke earnestly yet with disdain, "As a person, don't be too greedy. Know your limits. Don't dwell on things that don't belong to you, or you'll end up with nothing. Take care of yourself."
After saying that, he left the room with Nan Xi with a victorious stride, leaving Chen Lulu sitting there alone, like a poor person abandoned by the world.
Chen Lulu dragged her legs, which felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead. Every step she took felt like she was walking on the edge of a knife. She left the hotel, which had once made her think she could rise to fame, in a very embarrassed manner.
Her back looked particularly thin and desolate in the dim corridor light, as if a gust of wind could blow her down.
The once carefully groomed hair was now disheveled, with strands of hair sticking to cheeks covered in sweat and tears. The eyes that were once full of ambition and desire were now filled with endless emptiness and despair.
She didn't have the courage to call Fu Yanchen to ask for the house and the money. The wealth that she had once dreamed of and thought could change her destiny was now like a hot potato in her eyes, emitting a chilling atmosphere.
She knew very well that once she took these things, she would fall into an even deeper abyss of no return, and Fu Yanchen would never let her go easily.
In this farce, she was like a crazy gambler who put all her chips on the line, but ended up losing everything. She gained nothing except being ruined, cursed by thousands of people, and becoming a laughing stock.
She called Fu Yanchen and made the final condition.
She wanted Fu Yanchen to remove the online public opinions and give her a quiet and peaceful living environment. If Fu Yanchen did not come forward, she would not be able to get rid of the public opinions. For her, this was simply harder than climbing to the sky.
After all, Fu Yanchen is a very influential person, and his every word and action on the Internet can cause an uproar.
After experiencing this series of heavy blows, she finally realized as if she had just woken up from a dream that she absolutely could not afford to offend this man.
His power and means were far beyond her imagination, and she had no ability to compete with him.
He was like a towering, insurmountable mountain, and she was just an ant trying to challenge the mountain. In the face of absolute strength, her cleverness and tricks seemed so ridiculous and vulnerable.
She could only carry herself with scars and humiliation all over her body, and humbly beg Fu Yanchen to show mercy and spare her already broken soul.
Fu Yanchen still had some compassion in his heart. Although he always acted decisively and without leaving any room for maneuver, he did not go to extremes this time.
He only needed a look or a command, and the negative news that was flooding the Internet like a tide would disappear in an instant as if by magic, as if they had never existed.
Although the Internet has a long memory, under his tough intervention, it can only choose to forget.
However, the impact of this storm was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples that took a long time to subside.
The relationship between Nan Yifeng and his father is like a broken mirror. Even if you try hard to piece it together, the cracks can never be erased.
The deep love between father and son has become riddled with holes after experiencing this series of changes.
Nan Yifeng's mother, the woman who had been looking forward to her son's return home, has now completely given up.
She looked at the father and son in front of her, her heart filled with helplessness and sadness.
Once upon a time, she hoped so much that her family could be reunited and sit together happily to eat and chat, but now, all of this has become a bubble.
Now, whenever the father and son of the Dong family meet, the air is no longer filled with warmth and care, but a strong smell of gunpowder, as if a fierce war will break out in the next second. They are like enemies, blaming and resenting each other, and the family affection they once had has long disappeared without a trace.
Nan Yifeng is now like a wounded lone goose, full of resistance and alienation towards the place once called "home".
Whenever the bell rang for the end of get off work, other colleagues would run towards home with anticipation, but he seemed to be running away from something, his feet involuntarily moving in two directions.
Either he would return to his and Nan Weiwei's cozy and loving little apartment, where they decorated everything together, and every item carried their memories and laughter; or he would run back to his adoptive parents, and find a bit of comfort and peace in their warm embrace and caring eyes.
Nan Xi and Du Yunxi felt as if their hearts were being cut by a knife when they saw Nan Yifeng like this.
They knew very well what Nan Yifeng cared about. It was the pain of being torn apart by family affection, and the helplessness and unwillingness of the broken family relationship.
They wanted to comfort him, but were afraid of touching the softest and most fragile wound in his heart. They could only accompany him silently and give him support and encouragement with silent actions.
They thought that perhaps over time, the pain would slowly be healed by time, and Nan Yifeng would be able to forget these unpleasant pasts.
After all, blood ties are really amazing. They are like an invisible yet tough bond. Even if it is pulled hard by external forces and even seems to be broken, it is actually impossible to really break it.
It is a connection that is deeply rooted in the bones and flows in the blood. No matter how many storms and twists and turns it goes through, it will always quietly emerge at some inadvertent moment, reminding people of the inseparable bond between each other.
Perhaps one day in the future, Nan Yifeng will inadvertently discover that the blood ties that he once thought he had forgotten have actually been in a corner of his heart, quietly waiting to be awakened again.
