NovelEnglishChapter 992: Consumed
“She didn’t die. She disguised herself as an old woman. If she hadn’t come to me looking for trouble, I wouldn’t have known it was her.” Chen Qiyu was now quite calm at the mention of Lu Yunshuang, and there was not a hint of emotion with her.
“How dare she make an appearance?! I’ll go kill her now!” Chen Xuping said viciously as he suddenly stood up.
“You don’t need to go. I’ve killed her.” Chen Qiyu quickly stopped him.
“You?” Chen Xuping looked at her in astonishment. Finding out from her that she was the one who killed Lu Yunshuang was more shocking than Lu Yunshuang’s death.
Lu Yunshuang had some knowledge of martial arts while Qiyu was just a demure lady. How did she kill Lu Yunshuang?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I really did kill her. Lu Yunshuang had lost an arm and wasn’t that difficult to handle. Although, there was an old man with and if it wasn’t for Big Brother Zhao, I would have died in their hands that day.”
Chen Qiyu spoke of it quite casually, but Chen Xuping could imagine the danger she was in.
“Is that the reason why you’ve sold off your shops in the city? Because you’re afraid the old man would come looking for revenge?” Chen Xuping frowned and asked. He had passed through Thousand Village City before coming home and found out that she had sold off her shops.
In addition to finding out what had happened, it was not difficult to figure out the reason for Qiyu doing so.
“Yes.” Chen Qiyu did not deny this, but this was just one of the reasons.
“I was more worried that I had exposed myself because of what happened the last time and Long Chi would find out about me.”
She was pregnant with Long Chi’s child previously and she was worried he would come looking for her.
It would be a terrible thing if he had found her, which was why she made the immediate decision to wipe all her tracks from Thousand Village City. She was worried that the old man and Long Chi knew each other.
......
However, a long time had passed and nothing bad had happened. She took it for granted that her tracks had been kept hidden.
Chen Xuping did not say anything more after hearing the full story. However, he decided to stay home for a while and protect his family, just in case.
“By the way, what’s going on between you and Zhao Heng?” Chen Xuping remembered how Zhao Heng had suddenly beat him and could not help asking this question, which was on his mind.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChen Qiyu looked into her brother’s eyes, which had a look that seemed to have understood everything, and she felt somewhat uncomfortable. She lowered her eyes. “I think he was just feeling pity for me.”
Chen Xuping shook his head when he heard this. He looked straight into her eyes. “No. That’s not it. I know him and he’s not someone who pities another person easily. He fought me today because of you and that means he’s being serious about you.”
He would not have said this because of the current relationship between them but when he saw Chen Qiyu acting so calmly, he could not help but said something.
Chen Qiyu laughed bitterly. “Big Brother, do you think someone like me could be worthy of Big Brother Zhao?”
Chen Xuping frowned. “You shouldn’t belittle yourself like this. Whatever happened is now in the past. You shouldn’t hold onto it. You didn’t do anything wrong. We should always look forward to life, especially when you have your whole life to live. You shouldn’t be consumed by your past.”
“Moreover, Zhao Heng had grown up in the martial arts world and he is not a person who sticks to conventions. He is more carefree than most people. If he is aware of your past and still chooses to be close to you, that would mean this doesn’t really bother him.”
“I’m telling you this today because I’m trying to tell you that I know Zhao Heng very well. I can’t guarantee the same thing if this was some other person, but if it’s Zhao Heng, there’s no need for you to have any misgivings. He is a good man that you should really consider him. Besides, you still have me, don’t you?”
Qiyu had suffered a lot and she had changed a lot as well. He truly wished for her to live a happy life from here onward.
It was clear that Zhao Heng was the one who could give her happiness.
If Zhao Heng had no such intentions, Chen Xuping would never have even mentioned this to Qiyu, but since Zhao Heng was serious about her, why let the chance slip by?
