Just three days after giving birth, Shen Zhixia saw her husband, Lu Chengyu, pressing her adopted sister Lu Wan on the window sill in her confinement room.
His movements were steady, his breathing was suppressed, and he didn't even bother to cover the hem of his shirt.
Lu Wan was still calling out sweetly, "Sister-in-law is still watching in bed," but Lu Chengyu only replied in a low voice: "Didn't you just say not to stop?"
Shen Zhixia looked at it and suddenly smiled.
She didn't cry, didn't fuss, or even scolded.
He just calmly reached out and asked for 3,000 yuan in hush money, and left the house. He didn't want the children, he didn't want the house, and the Lu family didn't keep a penny.
Everyone in the Lu family was waiting to see her come back regretting and crying.
Lu Chengyu even felt that a woman who had just given birth and had no money or power would only starve to death outside if she left him.
The result?
Shen Zhixia left without looking back.
When they met again, she had already lived her life in the way that Lu Chengyu least wanted to see.
The first person to catch her was none other than Lu Chengyu's half-brother, Lu Chengye.
The brother-in-law who has always been cold, wild and disobedient to anyone.
He never thought of himself as a good person, and he even regarded her as just trouble to be thrown away at first.
But later, he became her sharpest knife and her most stable supporter.
When Lu Chengyu saw Shen Zhixia again, his brother was already standing next to her.
His adopted sister, who had been pressed against the window sill, could only watch helplessly as Shen Zhixia was protected by Lu Chengye, smiling steadily and brightly.
But Shen Zhixia just tilted her head slightly, and her voice was as brisk as a greeting:
"Lu Chengyu, do you remember the window sill?
Now it's your turn to stand down and watch. "
Intention: Live well yourself first.
