When Luo Ying took out the first aid kit to apply some medicine on Su Su, she realized that her body was riddled with dozens of scars of various sizes, including those inflicted by knives and bullets.
Su Su sheepishly looked at Luo Ying. She was a little embarrassed.
“I was caught up in the wrong crowd if that explains all these wounds.” Luo Ying sighed and asked her, “Are you from Lan City? You have a Lan City accent. ”
Su Su nodded. Her eyes were filled with sorrow. “Yes, but I can’t go back.”
She smiled bitterly.
“Don’t you want to see Sirius?” Luo Ying looked into Su Su’s eyes.
Su Su’s eyes widened as she looked at Luo Ying in disbelief. The name that she had buried deep in her heart was mentioned by a strange woman in front of her. She had not expected to hear it again in her lifetime. “How did you know?” Su Su carefully studied Luo Ying.
Luo Ying took off her baseball cap and sunglasses.
“Luo Ying?” Su Su knew that Sirius and Lu Zhao were good friends, and she also knew about Luo Ying and Lu Zhao’s marriage. However, she did not expect to be saved by Luo Ying in a foreign land.
“Yes.” Luo Ying nodded.
Su Su grabbed Luo Ying’s hand and pleaded softly, “Please, don’t tell Sirius about this!”
Luo Ying looked at Su Su with heartache in her eyes. “What have you gotten vourself into?”
In the original novel, Su Su’s subplot only stated that she left Lan City because her family went bankrupt and came here. When she was mentioned again, she was already dead.
“It’s not easy to survive alone. My father’s former enemies are also seeking revenge, so I’ve been in constant hiding.” Su Su’s eyes were filled with sorrow.
The Su Family was originally a wealthy family in Lan City. She was also a pampered young lady. If not for the turmoil in her family, she would not have taken the risk of getting close to Sirius.
Unfortunately, her plan had failed. Sirius was not so easily blinded by love.
Therefore, she gave up and told Sirius that he was simply a substitute for another man before leaving.
Such hurtful words had remained as an agonizing thorn in her heart.
“I know. I’m sorry, but I was too young at that time. For the sake of the Su Family, I could only do this.” Su Su lowered her eyes.
“You still love Sirius, don’t you?” Luo Ying asked.
Su Su’s eyes darkened.
Someone like her did not have the luxury of love.
“As long as I survive, that’s all that matters. I don’t have time to think of love.” Su Su’s eyes dimmed
“I don’t want to be found by Sirius. Besides, if I return to Lan City now, I won’t survive.” Su Su grabbed Luo Ying’s hand tightly. “I’m begging you. I really miss Sirius, but I don’t want to go back and pull at his heartstrings again.”
Her eyes were filled with tears, and her eyes were pleading.
Luo Ying’s heart ached when she saw Su Su like this.
This girl had come here alone since she was in her twenties. She had no relatives, and her father’s enemies were out for her blood. It had not been easy for her all these years.
“I can keep your whereabouts from Sirius, but you have to accept my help,” Luo Ying looked at Su Su and said.
In the original novel, Su Su had died in Prague. When news of her death spread back to the country, Sirius did not seem to react much to it. However, not long after, Sirius began to work together with Lu Zhao.
The two of them cut through the thorns and stood on the high ground of Lan
City.
However, the woman he had been longing for would never come back.
“You can stay with me for now. I’ll get my brother to help you find a new place to live in,” Luo Ying said to Su Su.
After taking care of Su Su, Luo Ying walked to the rooftop alone and sorted out her chaotic thoughts.
Sirius had never liked Lu Zhao dating her, so she could perhaps use Su Su to work her way around his heart.
Luo Ying turned on her phone and dialed Lu Zhao’s number. She wanted to tell Lu Zhao about Su Su.
The phone rang a few times before it suddenly cut off..
