I was an orphan girl in the slums.
But with the grace of saving his life, he exchanged for a marriage contract with the prince of the Beijing circle.
In order to save Lu Chengyuan, who had fallen into the water, I dived under the water to scoop him up, but I lost my vision due to a long period of lack of oxygen.
In order to thank me, Lu Chengyuan announced to the whole city that he would marry me and be responsible for the rest of my life.
I knew that my status was low, and I didn't need his kindness, it was Lu Chengyuan who swore in my ear.
"Thou hast saved me, and my life shall be yours from now on."
But the day I recovered, I saw him in our marriage room with a strange woman in his arms.
He scoffed, "I had no intention of marrying her."
"She was originally a cheap life, she could save me, and it was her blessing to die, and now everything is given by me, what is she not satisfied with?"

In order to cure my eyes, Lu Chengyuan took me around to seek medical advice.
As long as I heard that the doctor was good at eye diseases, no matter how far away, no matter how Chinese medicine, he would take me to see it himself.
Lu Chengyuan said that my eyes are his biggest heart disease.
When I woke up one morning, I could suddenly perceive the light in front of me, and I don't know if it was because of yesterday's acupuncture or the decoction the day before yesterday.
When my vision became clear, I didn't tell any of the servants, and returned to Lu's house alone from the recuperation villa.
I want to surprise Lu Chengyuan.
The old mansion of the Lu family is quiet and strict, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter or leave.
I used the key Lu Chengyuan gave me to quietly enter through the back door, and groped all the way up to the third floor, Lu Chengyuan's bedroom.
As soon as I went up the steps, I saw Lu Chengyuan's handsome face through the crack in the door.
He leaned lazily against the edge of the bed, nibbling on a cigarette in his mouth.
The inky eyebrows seemed to be a little deeper than the first time I saw him a few years ago.
Lu Chengyuan's eyes drooped expressionlessly, looking extremely cold, and I couldn't wait to see him know how I recovered.
I pursed my lips, excited and about to push the door in.
In the next second, a woman in a silk nightgown straddled Lu Chengyuan's thighs, her hands naturally wrapped around his neck.
She has a lot of movements, and her robe is short.
Almost instantly, I could see the infinite spring light under my skirt.
Lu Chengyuan's breathing was slightly suffocated, and he raised his eyes to look at the woman: "Do you know what kind of place this is?"
The woman was not afraid at all, and grabbed him by the neck and kissed him deeply.
"I know I'm coming, what, don't you think it's more exciting to be in your marriage room with her?"
She shifted her words slightly, "Or do you really plan to marry an orphan girl?"
I was slightly stunned, and the hand on the doorknob clenched subconsciously.
For a moment, Lu Chengyuan suddenly hooked his lips and smiled
"Why, it's just for show."
"After all, she saved my life, and the old man is a stupid and stubborn old antique, if I have to marry her, if it weren't for the old man still holding the financial power in his hands, how would I be obedient."
He wrapped his arms around the woman's slender waist and pecked at the corners of her lips.
"Who doesn't know, you're my sweetheart."
When Lu Chengyuan said this, his eyebrows were affectionate, and he was gentle to the extreme.
It's like what he looks like in my fantasy.
But the words in his mouth were like sharp and cold knives, slowly dissecting my heart.
"She was born in a slum, a girl with no father and no mother, and her appearance is also mediocre, and now she has become a blind and deaf disabled person because of drowning, where can she compare to you, eldest miss."
"She can save my life, so that I can eat and drink in my family's nursing home for a whole year, and it can be regarded as accumulating virtue for herself, otherwise how can I live my current life."
"She should have thanked me."
These words choked me a little, and I took two steps back, trying to get out of this place.
But he accidentally fell down the stairs.
Hearing the movement, Lu Chengyuan frowned, put on his clothes and walked out.
Seeing that it was me, his eyes were a little gloomy and obscure, surging with endless disgust and emotions that I couldn't understand.
After a long time, Lu Chengyuan didn't speak.
I had no choice but to continue to pretend not to see in a panic, and called Lu Chengyuan's name loudly until the maid downstairs heard the sound and rushed over.
The maid was stunned for a moment when he saw Lu Chengyuan and the woman beside him.
"Miss Jiang, the second young master is not here now, what are you looking for him?"
I shook my head wildly, "It's okay, I'm fine, I just wanted to come and see, and I accidentally fell."
"Then I'll have the driver take you back."
I was picked up from the steps and limped downstairs.
I think I should have the potential to be an actor.
can hide the bitterness and sourness in his heart silently, without revealing the slightest flaw.
From beginning to end, Lu Chengyuan hugged the woman and condescended together.
Watching my embarrassment with cold eyes.

I don't even know how I got to the nursing home.
In the evening, Lu Chengyuan came to the sanatorium.
He comes to see me almost every day, but for some reason, it seems to be a little early today.
Lu Chengyuan sat next to me for a long time before gently holding my hand.
"Dip Yue, did you go to me today?"
I was silent for a moment, gesturing in the direction of the table, my tone lost.
"I made chocolates with my sister nurse in the morning and wanted to surprise you, so I didn't call you."
"It's good you're not here, I didn't make it delicious."
He looked at the torn chocolate on the table, his expression slightly stunned.
That's probably when I remembered that I had fallen in the morning.
"How can you be alone, how dangerous is this, is there ...... Hurt?"
I hid my slightly swollen ankles under the quilt, still with a smile on my face.
"I'm careful, it's fine."
Sensing my movements, Lu Chengyuan lowered his eyes and looked at me, a trace of guilt and pity flashed in his eyes, and the affection in his eyes was even stronger.
He had tender eyes that made me almost forget that his love was a lie.
"I'll call me if you want to in the future, and I'll pick you up."
After speaking, Lu Chengyuan clasped his fingers with me, lowered his head and kissed the back of my hand.
"Dip the moon, when your eyes are restored, we will get married."
That's when I found out.
Lu Chengyuan took me to see so many doctors, in fact, I had long been convinced that I would spend my whole life in the dark.
So he swore an oath over and over again, just to appease me, and never thought of marrying me at all.
Lu Chengyuan didn't notice that my palms were wet, and they were soaked in sweat because of forbearance.
And I could only continue to see it, leaning gently and quietly in his arms.
After a while, Lu Chengyuan picked up the phone, he responded to a few words, and turned to tell me.
"Grandpa asked me to take you back to Lu's house, tomorrow is his birthday, and my eldest brother is also back."
"You will be my wife from now on, and you should see everyone in the family."
When I heard something, my heart beat a few beats faster.
But he still lowered his head and politely refused.
"I'm going to embarrass you for the way I look."
"If only you could bring my gift back to Grandpa."
Out of morning guilt, he raised his hand to caress my cheek, his fingertips lingering on the tail of my eyes for a moment.
The tenderness in his eyes was a little more real.
Lu Chengyuan said in a deep voice: "You are obedient, I will take you back."
"You are my life-saving benefactor, and you are also the benefactor of the Lu family, with me, who dares to look down on you?"
I nodded, leaning into Lu Chengyuan's arms with a face full of dependence, feeling his hand around me become tighter and tighter.
But what Lu Chengyuan didn't know was-
His fall, and my salvation, were all planned by me.
I just wanted to get closer to his brother.

My name is Jiang Yanyue.
Three years ago, I was still living in a welfare home.
The Lu family went to live in their suburban manor, and Lu Chengyuan took a few friends to go camping in the wilderness.
I was helping out at a nearby restaurant when an SUV slowly pulled up in front of me.
The window was lowered, and a stunningly handsome face familiar to me made my heart beat like a beat.
I can hear the people around him call him A-Yuan.
I woke up from a dream and quickly calmed down.
Lu Chengyuan's tone was light: "Little girl, how can there be a place for a picnic?"
I glanced at the ring in the back row and was silent for a few seconds.
"Three kilometers further on, there's a river, and it's very beautiful and quiet with few people."
Lu Chengyuan thanked him, took out a cigarette from the drawer, and threw it into my arms.
"Let's sell it."
The buggy drove away.
I looked down at the cigarette in my hand, I saw this brand when I was working in a restaurant, only the boss who came back from the city would smoke it, more than a hundred yuan a box.
The one in the hand looks more expensive.
I turned around and sold the cigarettes to the boss at a discount, took half a day off, and went to the river without looking back.
In fact, the reason why there are few people in that one is quiet is because there was an accident a few days ago and several children drowned.
The villagers said it was because there were water ghosts.
The police said that because there are many weeds and weeds at the bottom of the river, and the water is fast, people with bad water quality are prone to accidents.
I'm going to bet on this one chance.
I didn't expect to make me bet right, but I also lost myself.
When it was dark before my eyes, an old and low voice sounded in my ears.
"Little girl, thank you for saving my little grandson."
"Don't worry, I already understand your situation, and our Lu family will definitely heal your eyes and repay you."
"I promise you by my Lu Jun's name."
The Lu family is really the Lu family.
None of them knew that I was a little girl who wandered around the Lu family's mansion a few years ago and was stopped countless times by the Lu family's security guards.
Now they come up one by one to comfort me and thank me.
I listened carefully to the people around me, but I didn't notice a familiar voice.
Later, I overheard them say that the eldest young master of the Lu family was only found a few years ago, and now he has been sent abroad to study.
A few days later, Lu Chengyuan's body recovered, and he finally appeared in my hospital room.
In the presence of Mr. Lu, he swore to me that he would be responsible for me.
I barely thought for a moment before I nodded.
For the next three years, I lived in the Lu family's sanatorium, receiving fine food and clothing, and receiving the best care and treatment every day.
My eyes recovered, and I saw the appearance of the Lu family for the first time.
I quietly looked inside, but I didn't notice a familiar face.
Mr. Lu, who was wearing a tunic suit, was in good spirits and personally helped me to sit next to him and asked me about my current situation.
I replied with low eyebrows, and I didn't forget to give Lu Chengyuan a gold sticker.
"A-Yuan treats me very well and often accompanies me to the doctor."
Old Man Lu was pleased: "Before I met you, this kid was a bastard, he only knew how to spend time drinking, but now he also knows how to be considerate."
"You are the noble man of our Lu family."
The smile on the corner of Lu Chengyuan's lips deepened a little.
They began to talk about the future of the family until I was a little sleepy and did not stop.
When it was over, Old Man Lu looked at me and Lu Chengyuan meaningfully.
"Chengyuan, you are not too young, it's time to put your mind away and marry Yuyue."
"My only wish is to see you and your brother get married and start a family, but unfortunately your brother is now so engrossed in his work, he can only count on you."
I grabbed Lu Chengyuan's hand and felt him tremble.
The words of the head of the Lu family carry a lot of weight.
I can guess the ambition that ignited in Lu Chengyuan's eyes.
When I came out of the study and walked down the floor, I was greeted by a bright and delicate face.
It was the woman who was in the room that day.
Zhou Mingzhao.

I lowered my eyes.
Pretending not to know why Lu Chengyuan suddenly paused, he looked up and asked him what was wrong.
「…… It's fine."
"I met a friend."
I let out a stunned sigh and heard Zhou Mingzhao's inexplicable chuckle.
"Friends? Yes, we're good friends."
"I heard that you are getting married, I specially came to congratulate you, I wish you a hundred years of happiness and an early birth of a noble son."
Zhou Mingzhao's last sentence was almost squeezed out of his throat, with a thin crying tone.
She turned and walked away, her red skirt blown by the wind, like a moving rose in full bloom.
Lu Chengyuan subconsciously let go of my hand.
Remembering that he was still at Lu's house, and there was Old Man Lu and a group of people staring, he stopped his steps to chase him out, returned to me, and brought me into his room.
"Batsuki, you take a rest here, and when I come back, I'll go see a few friends."
I nodded obediently and watched Lu Chengyuan leave without looking back.
Lu Chengyuan won't be back tonight.
Because I know Zhou Mingzhao's position in his heart.
Lu Chengyuan and Zhou Mingzhao were childhood sweethearts, and they were together in high school, except for Mr. Lu in the past, he only listened to Zhou Mingzhao's words.
The two of them can be said to be a match made in heaven, the same is the pride of the sky spoiled by the family, and the same is arrogant and likes excitement.
If it weren't for the fact that they went to college abroad and tried contraband together, they were forced to separate.
I'm afraid it won't be my turn now.
A few minutes later, an anonymous call came into my phone.
I was standing on the balcony and answering the phone.
The female voice was clear and high, with a nasal voice and a crying voice: "You are going to get married, why are you still coming to me, do you want me to be a lover who cannot see the light?"
"Lu Chengyuan, you're a liar!"
Then, with a snap, I was startled.
There was silence for a long time before Lu Chengyuan's voice sounded.
"Zhaozhao, you know I can't ...... right now."
"If it weren't for Lu Wenye coming back and grandpa valuing him, how could I marry Jiang Yanyue in order to please grandpa!"
"I've always had you in my heart."
There was a lot of crying and fussing on the phone, and it took a long time to calm down.
Lu Chengyuan gasped and said, "My mother told me that my grandfather's wish is to have an eldest grandson, and he wants the four generations of the Lu family to be in the same house, as long as I get married and have children before Lu Wenye, it means that I am one step closer to inheritance, and only when I am in power, I am qualified to propose to you."
"Anyway, you don't want to have children, you're afraid of pain, you're afraid of getting out of shape......
"Just let Jiang Yanyue give birth to one for us, okay?"
Zhou Mingzhao burst into laughter at this time, and his tone was delicate and sweet.
"I think Jiang Yanyue still likes you a lot, but you live up to people's sincerity like this, it's too bad."
"As long as I don't disappoint you, it's not possible for me to marry a blind girl from the countryside."
Their lingering voices became more and more violent and violent, and I was stunned to hear them.
But I actually only heard three of them.
Lu Wenye.
"Like to hear these things?"
I snapped back.
The man ripped off his tie, straddled his long legs, and jumped directly to me from the balcony next to me, a meter apart.
His neckline was half-open, and his expensive shirt was loose.
In a trance, it was like the night before he left the orphanage, wearing the suit brought by the Lu family, and took me to climb the wall to see the moon.
It seems that the high-ranking family has not been able to smooth out the wanton in his bones.
Lu Wenye lowered his head and gently flicked the tip of my nose.
"You're my brother's fiancée?"
"What's your name?"
Looking at the person in front of me, tears welled up in my eyes.
I grabbed the corner of my skirt and whispered, "I, my name is Jiang Yanyue, don't be the moon of Jiang Yanyue......
He didn't pause for a moment at my name, but curled the corners of his lips and spoke in a calm tone.
"Good name."
At that moment, I couldn't talk about the loss.
But in the next second, Lu Wenye squinted his eyes and laughed.
"But I prefer to call you Little Flower."

When I first started in the orphanage, I wasn't called Jiang Yanyue.
I was abandoned at a very young age, and I heard that when I was first picked up, I was wrapped in a broken flower sheet and sewn a river character from the corner.
That's why the people in the orphanage call me Jiang Xiaohua.
When I was seven years old and about to go to school, my aunt remembered that it was time to choose a name for me.
Lu Wenye sat by the window and watered the roses he planted.
Hearing this, he turned his head, his pupils were dark and deep, and he bent when he looked at me, and his eyes were like hooks.
"If you are drunk, you will say goodbye, and you will be immersed in the moon in the vast river when you are drunk."
Lu Wenye picked the only blooming rose and gave it to me.
My name was decided.
That's when I noticed Lu Wenye's existence.
He is different from me, he is a lost child, and when he first came to the orphanage, he was full of the nobility of a down-and-out young master.
The aunt said that he should remember where his home was, but he refused to say.
The second time I came into contact with Lu Wenye was when I was in junior high school, and I was bullied by my classmates because I had no father and no mother, and they pulled my hair in the corner and scolded me for being a mongrel without a mother.
Lu Wenye kicked away the boy who wanted to pull my clothes.
He picked me up from the ground and told the people that he was my brother.
I haven't been bullied since.
The third time, when Lu Wenye was eighteen years old, he was finally discovered by the Lu family, who insisted on staying in the orphanage for one more night, and met me who wanted to escape over the wall.
Lu Wenye sat by the wall, the moonlight falling on his face, with clear outlines.
He didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly turned his face sideways: "Where do you want to go?"
I looked at Lu Wenye's dark eyes, throbbing and dazed at the same time.
