Song Ci said helplessly, “It’s purely a coincidence.”
“Really? So you don’t care if your true love marries someone else?”
Song Ci fell silent. Based on her lie, she should care!
“I care! Are you happy now?”
Lu Gan was satisfied. He explained in a gentle tone, “Don’t worry. I had no choice at that time. She was just a suitable candidate. There’s nothing between us.”
When Song Ci heard this, she was confused. What kind of situation left Lu Gan with no choice but to marry Song Peihan? Did they have something in common? Song Peihan may be good-looking, but the Song family only had an average background. Moreover, they had a bad reputation.
Was it because Lu Gan knew that Lu Hongyong would disapprove of his decision? Maybe it was a way for him to leave the Lu Corporation. Why did Lu Gan even want to leave the Lu Corporation in the first place? Were there dangers lurking around?
Song Ci suddenly remembered an important plot point. Lu Heng was the CEO of the Lu Corporation before his death. Did Lu Gan suspect that his death was related to the Lu family?
As Song Ci was thinking, she subconsciously looked at Lu Gan.
Lu Gan smiled.
“Why are you looking at me? Are you doubting me?”
Song Ci hurriedly shook his head.
“Of course not! You’re not stupid. There’s no way you actually wanted to marry her.”
“That’s true.”
Lu Gan nodded.
Song Ci gave him a smile, but she was clearly distracted.
Lu Heng and his wife’s deaths may not be an accident. Lu Gan even resigned from the Lu Corporation and acted as if he had given up on himself. Was the killer related to the Lu family?!
Song Ci had a hard time believing her theory. After all, they were all blood relatives. How could one commit such an atrocious crime? It was simply too cruel. She tried to find some clues by remembering the original plot.
Lu Suo took revenge on those who hurt him and Lu Gan when he grew up. However, nothing was mentioned about the killer. Were they being observed all this time?
It was possible that Lu Gan eventually found out about the killer’s true identity, but died before he could do anything. Lu Suo probably had no idea either.
Was Lu Gan’s death related to the murderer?
Song Ci tried her best to recall the little details, but could not come up with a conclusion. As a reader, she could only see things through Lu Suo and Song Yujin’s perspectives. Other specifics were not mentioned.
Song Ci sighed. She was really upset. Everyone had such miserable fates. Lu Suo lost his loved ones time and time again. No wonder he became so twisted. Meanwhile, Lu Gan was honest and upright. Unfortunately, he died young.
Lu Gan noticed that Song Ci was unusually quiet. He asked in a puzzled tone, “What are you thinking about?”
Song Ci raised her head and looked at him. After a long while, she smiled.
“I’m a little sad because I have to work on set soon.”
When Lu Gan heard this, he was also affected. Once Song Ci was gone, he would have a hard time sleeping again.
“That makes me sad too.”
“You should think about me more often.”
Lu Gan chuckled.
“I will! What about you?”
“I’m going to miss you, so I’ll definitely think about you too. We’re a family. Never forget that you still have a home, and you still have me.”
Lu Gan was stunned by her words.
Song Ci smiled and held Lu Gan’s hands. She might not be of much help to him in terms of finding the murderer. Lu Gan most likely would not want her to be involved either. All she could do was support him. She just wanted him to live a long and happy life!
They may be independent adults, but no one could live solely by themselves. Song Ci was willing to stick by Lu Gan’s side. She did not mind sharing his burdens.
It was almost five o’clock by the time they returned home.
Mary hurriedly prepared their dinner.
When Lu Suo heard the door open, he ran over excitedly.
“Welcome back!”
Song Ci patted his head.
“Did you listen to your little uncle?”
Lu Suo nodded.
“I’ve been reading all day!”
