Chapter 90: Cinderella and Trash Prince Episode 11

  The male partner in the book is the one who was saved by Yang Ningning and later introduced her to a famous doctor, curing Lin Chenghua's illness.

  His name is Lou Tianren, a successful businessman. However, he had a difficult childhood as an illegitimate child. His mother passed away early and his father's whereabouts were unknown. He was raised by a distant uncle's family who also struggled financially with two children of their own to support. Despite the difficulties, they managed to provide him with food and supported his primary school education. Although compulsory education didn't cost much, it was still a significant burden for them.

  After graduating from elementary school, Lou Tian did not want to accept the charity of his uncle's family again, which would add insult to injury to their already poor family. He left a letter and followed the young people in the same village to work outside. Later, he had an encounter and met his biological father, who took him back to that mansion full of intrigue and conspiracy. Afterwards, it was all about the open and secret struggles between brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, his father's original wife and mistress. Especially after his father's death, in order to control the family property and business, these people became even more ruthless towards each other, without any familial affection.

  He finally relied on his own ordinary means and the calmness and courage that he had cultivated in a harsh environment since childhood, and after one danger after another, he won the final victory in this family struggle. Not only did he keep his life, but he also absolutely controlled the company, becoming the chairman of the board of directors. Those so-called relatives and opponents either went to prison, lost their families, fled abroad in a sorry state, or even lost their lives, and there was no possibility of threatening him again.

  The overall situation has been settled, and the first thing he thought of was to return to his hometown to repay the kindness of his uncle's family.

  Although it had been many years since they last contacted each other, his uncle's family had also moved from the suburbs of C City to the city center, and it was still easy to get news about them. Once his subordinates brought back accurate information, Lou Tianren immediately rushed over with a thick gift.

  My elder cousin is already married, and my younger cousin is in his twenties. He didn't do well in school, so after attending technical school for a few years, he opened a small car repair shop with the help of his family's money. The business is average, but it's enough to support a family.

  The tiger cub who left without saying goodbye that year has actually returned, wearing a suit and tie, with his entourage, driving a luxury car. This family was both shocked and delighted, almost not daring to recognize him.

  Lou Tianren was also excited. In these years, although he had good food and clothing, he never had a happy day, living in the midst of constant plotting and scheming, not knowing if he would die at the hands of his own family members the next second. It could be said that he lived in darkness, with an icy heart, only his maternal uncle's family being his only soft spot, making him still feel the warmth of being treated sincerely by others. It was also relying on these memories that he had endured one plot and assassination after another.

  Watching his uncle's family tremble with fear, he felt both unfamiliar and a little intimidated by the presence of a big shot, so he could only sigh helplessly, letting his subordinates move the gifts, then beat them.

  He made himself appear as familiar and close as possible, making everyone feel that he was still the same mischievous boy from the past. He helped his aunt with household chores, snatched a few puffs of his uncle's dry tobacco, and shared some funny stories with his cousin about how they used to tease girls when they were young. Gradually, everyone became less reserved.

  On the first day, lunch was eaten at home, and dinner was treated by him. He drove personally to take his cousin's family to the best hotel in the city. Even his married-out cousin and her husband came with their children.

  A family reunion is a joyful occasion. At the dinner table, he also talked about his experiences over the years, leaving everyone speechless.

  Because his uncle's family also couldn't accommodate him and were afraid of delaying him, after sending everyone back after dinner, he stayed in a hotel by himself, feeling happy and having a good night's sleep.

  Little did they know, someone had already harbored greedy intentions, and a sinister plot to murder and rob was brewing.

  The first person to have doubts was his cousin.

  The two brothers who grew up together, Lou Tianren was even inferior to him and had to rely on his family for a living. Now, he suddenly transformed into an unattainable big boss, how could he balance his mind? He used to think that it was cool to bring his parents to the city with his own hands, but compared to others, it's simply a joke.

  Moreover, he has always liked cars, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to learn auto repair. He has been working hard and saving money just to buy a car of his own, and this wish is about to come true. Lou Tianyi happened to be driving the type of car he likes the most, but never thought he would own in his dreams, and even hadn't seen it in real life before.

  At the moment when Lou Tian pushed open his door, he felt that the other party must have seen the poster of the same car as the one he had brought back stuck on his bedside. Although the other party did not show any expression, he still felt ashamed and dared not to lift his head. In that instant, admiration, jealousy, and resentment arose spontaneously.

  At the dinner table, listening to Lou Tianren talk about himself being unmarried and childless, now also having no relatives left, only their family was left, an evil thought arose in his heart.

  The next day, he took the initiative to call and invite Lou Tian to come home for a drink at night, and the two brothers did not leave until they were drunk.

  The next day, after worshiping his mother in the morning, he went to his maternal uncle's house.

  His younger cousin brother kept urging him to drink, and his uncle and aunt were also very enthusiastic. He came and refused, and soon got drunk.

  His younger cousin saw him lying on the table, already unconscious, and called out to him twice. When he didn't respond, he took out a thick roll of tape and bound him up securely.

  Lou Tianren originally lived in that kind of environment with a heavy heart, but rarely returned to his loved ones, so he let himself relax and didn't expect to get hooked.

  The uncle and aunt looked at each other in surprise. Why did their own son tie up his nephew? They thought of stopping him.

  But my younger brother, with tears streaming down his face, complained about his grievances and resentment, making our parents both angry and heartbroken. Finally, after he repeatedly promised that everything would be fine, the old couple reluctantly turned around and went back into the house, as if nothing had happened.

  His cousin's plan was to tie Lou Tianren up with tape, weigh him down with stones, and throw him into the small stream next to his house. Once he drowned, they would sneak back in and untie the tape, then claim that he had fallen in while drunk. The creek didn't have any railings, and although it wasn't wide, the water was deep, and there were rumors of a water ghost. Almost every summer, children who disobeyed their parents and snuck into the creek to swim would drown, sometimes even adults, and occasionally people would commit suicide there too. So if another person died, no one would suspect anything. Afraid that Lou Tianren might wake up mid-way and struggle too much, he had specifically used tape instead of rope to bind him, in order to avoid leaving any obvious scars. Moreover, Lou Tianren didn't have many relatives now, so even if he died, there wouldn't be anyone to avenge his death. As distant relatives who had raised him when he was young, they would at least be able to inherit some of his property, and they had already looked up the relevant regulations online.

  Lou Tian Ren was still completely unaware, continuing to sleep soundly, also related to the fact that he had mixed some sleeping pills in his drink with his younger cousin.

  Although the two old men were in the house, they couldn't help but secretly pay attention to the movements in the living room. Seeing their son's hard work, they feared he would be discovered. The father slapped himself twice and muttered "What a sinful thing!" before going up to lend a hand.

  Suoluo had long been lurking in wait, bringing a camera with night vision function. When the father and son duo carried Loutian Ren out, he began to record everything, including how they tied stones to his body, sank him into the water, and then returned to the shore to observe and wait.

  After the two landed on shore, she put away her camera and took out her phone, pretending to make a call while walking towards the father and son.

  "Why are we breaking up? Have you fallen in love with that fox spirit or something?! You said you only loved me, didn't you?! You liar! Liar! I don't care, I want you..."

  One side was crying and quarreling with her "boyfriend", while the other directly sat down by the stream, seemingly without any intention of leaving.

  The father and son felt guilty, seeing someone coming over, they couldn't help but panic. They exchanged a glance, then pretended to be calm and walked home, planning to come back later to remove the tape and stones from Loutian's body, they can't stay here and arouse suspicion.

  Suoluo watched as the person walked away, then put away his phone, placed his bag on the shore, took off his shoes and brought a pair of scissors into the water.

  Although this section had no light and was relatively dark, she clearly remembered the location where the father and son had abandoned people before, so she swam there, took a deep breath, and then dived down.

  Lou Tianren almost woke up as soon as he was submerged in water, but his body was tied with stones and his hands and feet couldn't move. He wanted to open his mouth to shout for help, but instead more water poured in. He struggled desperately, but the tape bound him too tightly, and the air in his lungs grew less and less. Gradually, he lost consciousness, and only one sentence remained in his mind: "Why, why are you treating me like this!"

  I don't know whether I should blame heaven or my uncle's family.

  The place wasn't big, and Su Luo quickly found Lou Tianyi who had already fainted. She then swiftly removed the stones from his body, cut open the tape, and put her hands under his armpits to drag him out of the water.

  She struggled hard to drag him ashore and then began first aid.

  Undo his buttons, clear the foreign body from his mouth and nose. Then one leg kneeled, the other leg bent, turned Lou Tianren over, his abdomen on her bent knee, then one hand supported his head, his mouth facing down, the other hand slapped his back hard, letting the water spit out.

  The water was spat out, but the breathing and heartbeat were still very weak, almost imperceptible. Sulolo had no choice but to perform CPR, knowing it was a crucial step in drowning first aid.

  She knelt on one side of the rooftop, pinching his nose with one hand and supporting his chin with the other. After taking a deep breath, she pressed her mouth tightly to his and blew air into it, occasionally interlocking her hands in rhythm to press down on his heart.

  After a few minutes, Lou Tian's heartbeat finally returned to normal, and Su Luo also let out a sigh of relief.

  Originally, she thought that if he could wake up, she would just leave, but seeing that he still showed no signs of waking up, she had to prepare to send him to the hospital and then leave. Although she was determined to ruin Yang Ningning's plot to save him, she didn't want Lou Tianyan to fall in love with her because of the debt of gratitude, nor did she have any interest in him or want to use his kindness for her own gain. Later on, if they didn't meet again, that would be best, so she didn't want Lou Tianyan to see her.

  In the original work, Yang Ningning passed by after the father and son had been guarding the shore for a few minutes. The father and son saw her with the same reaction as when they saw Su Luo, both turning their heads and walking away.

  Yang Ningning saw them sneaking around and thought they were going to catch fish, so she also had the idea of trying it out with her incredible brain circuit. Because nearby residents often put their nets in the creek first and then pulled them up at night, there would be many small fish and shrimp. She thought that maybe there would be some leftovers to pick up, so she took out the flashlight she used for walking on the road at night and shone it into the water.

  This shot happened to see Lou Tianren sinking at the bottom of the water.

  It's also fate that Loutian was not supposed to die, and he was saved by Yang Ningning. The rest of the plot is just clichés.

  This time, when Su Luo started CPR, she just happened to be passing by.

  But Hei Gū Lóng Dōng couldn't see clearly and thought it was a couple being intimate, so he muttered to himself and hid behind a tree to avoid embarrassment.

  Suoluo actually knew her position and every move all along, she just deliberately ignored it.

  Just as she was about to move the person onto the main road, the mobile phone in her bag suddenly rang. She took it out and saw that it was her elder brother Ji Wei.

  "Hey, Little Wei."

  "Xiaogu, grandma's blood pressure rose and she fainted. We're on the way to send her to the hospital. If you don't have anything else to do, hurry over too, Municipal Hospital."

  She hung up the phone, and Su Luo also panicked. This section of the book didn't mention it, she had no idea at all, nor was she clear whether Grandma had escaped danger or not. The three highs of the elderly can be big or small, if not handled properly, they might just go away, ah choo choo! It's better to hurry over and take a look.

  He looked at the big man in his hands and was also embarrassed for a while.

  If he is left here, the father and son will inevitably have murderous intentions again when they come over, and all the previous efforts will be in vain. This is not the point, the key is that this is a living person's life, she can't ignore it no matter what.

  Taking him to the hospital would delay things, and she was afraid Grandma couldn't wait.

  No choice now, for the time being, there is only ——

  "Help! Is anyone there? Someone is drowning!"

  Hearing her cry for help, Yang Ningning suddenly darted out from behind the tree.

  "What's wrong?"
