Fang Zicheng and Fang Zikai only saw Lu Yinxi two months later.
They did not dare to appear in front of her and only dared to look from afar, afraid that they would agitate Lu Yinxi. Fang Yusheng led them to visit Lu Yinxi. It was the third day of the first month, and all Chinese people were still celebrating the new year. Lu Yinxi, on the other hand, was living a bleak New Year.
Lu Yinxi had been receiving psychological treatment for the past two months.
Fang Yusheng and the rest sat in a tea room and looked at Lu Yinxi through the window. Lu Yinxi had just walked out of the psychological counseling building. The person who sent her to receive psychological treatment was her grandmother.
Lu Yinxi’s grandmother was already 75 years old this year. She probably wouldn’t live for long.
Her back was already hunched, and she was wearing a dark red down jacket. She had lost her son in her old age, and her hair was white as she watched her child die. This old lady looked especially haggard. On the other hand, Lu Yinxi did not seem any different from before. She was still beautiful and cute, but her once cheerful smile was gone.
She became very silent. When she walked, she always liked to lower her head. Her deer-like innocent eyes seemed to be filled with sorrow.
The grandmother and grandson held hands and walked over from the opposite road to Fang Yusheng’s side of the street. Grandma Lu held Lu Yinxi’s hand and walked past Fang Zicheng and the rest.
Lu Yinxi clearly saw Fang Zicheng, Fang Zikai, and the rest, but when she saw them, Lu Yinxi’s gaze did not fluctuate. It was as if she did not know them at all.
Fang Zikai pushed Fang Yusheng’s arm and asked him, “Dad, does Lu Yinxi not even recognize us?”
“Yes. I heard she only recognizes her grandmother now.”
Lu Yinxi now lived in Grandma Lu’s house. Afraid that it would agitate Lu Yinxi, Grandma Lu did not dare to bring Lu Yinxi back to the house she used to live in. Boss Lu’s house was already planned to be sold.
Due to the murder case, the price of Lu Yinxi’s house was very low, but no one bought it.
Before Boss Lu passed away, there was still a sum of money in the bank account. This sum of money was enough for Lu Yinxi to finish high school. As for university… Fang Yusheng had discussed it with Qiao Jiusheng and planned to help Lu Yinxi anonymously as a sponsor when she grew up.
Fang Yusheng was also the one who paid for Lu Yinxi’s psychological treatment. The psychiatrist who treated Lu Yinxi was Fang Zicheng’s psychiatrist from before. The psychiatrist’s fees were very high. Fang Yusheng secretly paid for all of it and asked the police to contact Lu Yinxi’s grandmother. He said that her psychiatrist was free.
Only then did Grandma Lu bring Lu Yinxi to see a psychiatrist.
When Boss Lu just passed away, Lu Yinxi did not dare to see anyone. When she walked in the crowd, she would tremble in fear. When she saw red things, she would scream in shock.
After two months of psychological treatment, Lu Yinxi had recovered a lot. At least when she walked on the streets, she would not shout for no reason. When she saw red things, although she was very resistant, she could control herself from exploding.
Fang Zicheng stared at the small figure and saw that she was walking further and further away. From the beginning to the end, she did not look up at him.
Fang Zicheng stared at the yogurt in his hand and pursed his lips. It was unknown what he was thinking.

“Moose, don’t be sad.” Lu Yinxi heard a boy talking to her.
Lu Yinxi suddenly pulled her grandmother’s hand.
Grandma Lu looked down at her granddaughter and asked, “What’s wrong, Yinxi?”
Lu Yinxi finally looked up. She raised her thin but beautiful face and asked her grandmother, “Grandma, did you hear someone talking to me?”
Grandma Lu shook her head and said, “No.”
“But I heard someone talking to me.” Lu Yinxi heard that voice again. It sounded like a child. He was talking. He said, “Moose, live well.”
Lu Yinxi was stunned.
She suddenly turned around and looked for the person who had spoken. There were so many passersby behind her, but no one was talking to her, let alone a child.
Lu Yinxi found it strange. Her dazed eyes finally wavered.
“I want to live well,” she said in her heart.
Grandma Lu held Lu Yinxi’s hand tightly. “Let’s go. We’re going to Uncle’s house for dinner today. Don’t make everyone wait.” Grandma Lu had three children, two sons and a daughter. Boss Lu was the eldest, and they were about to go to her second son’s house. She also had a younger daughter who rarely came back from overseas.
Grandma Lu knew that she did not have many years to live. When she died in the future, Lu Yinxi would definitely be handed over to her children to raise.
Her younger daughter rarely returned home when she was overseas. Only her second son was close to her. Grandma Lu planned to bring Lu Yinxi to her second son’s house a few more times. When she died in the future, Yinxi would go to her second son’s house to live. Only then would she get used to it.
Of course, these were all Grandma Lu’s plans. Lu Yinxi was still young, so Grandma Lu did not plan to tell her.
In her lifetime, she would protect Lu Yinxi well.
Lu Yinxi’s second uncle was called Lu Zizun. Father Lu’s generation was from the Zi sect. Lu Yinxi’s father was called Lu Zide, her second uncle was called Lu Zizun, and her aunt was called Lu Ziai.
Back then, Grandpa Lu named the three children with pride and love. It could be seen how much love and hope he gave the children.
Lu Yinxi was brought to Second Uncle Lu’s house by Grandma Lu.
Second Aunt Lu opened the door. Her name was Yan Juan.
“Mom, Yinxi, you’re here?” Yan Juan was wearing an apron. When she saw Grandma Lu and the rest, she quickly welcomed them into the house. She poured a cup of hot water for Grandma Lu and Lu Yinxi and ran to cook.
After Grandma Lu sat down on the sofa, Lu Yinxi sat down beside him.
Lu Yinxi was very close to her grandmother. She sat there obediently, her eyes not darting around, and her hands not reaching out. The four-year-old child was obedient and sensible, making Grandma Lu’s heart ache.
Second Uncle Lu also had a daughter called Lu Jingjing. She was about the same age as Lu Yinxi and was more than a month younger than her. Lu Jingjing was sitting on the floor playing with a puzzle. When she saw Lu Yinxi, she did not play with her.
In Lu Jingjing’s opinion, Lu Yinxi was a strange child. The moment she approached Lu Yinxi, this girl stared at her warily. Lu Jingjing did not like Lu Yinxi, but she did not hate her either. She just did not want to play with her.
Seeing that her two granddaughters’ relationship was average, Grandma Lu did not force them to play together. She scanned the house and did not see Lu Zizun. She asked Yan Juan, who was in the kitchen, “Where’s Second Brother?”
“There’s no more wine at home. He went to buy wine.”
“Buying wine again? Has he been drinking often recently? Last time, I heard from your aunt that Second Brother got drunk one night and even fought with you. Is that true?”
