Chapter 134: Qin Yunshu Slits Her Wrists

~8 min read 1,499 words

In the corridor, there was only the sound of Qin Yunshu's sorrowful crying.

Cheng Wan knew that continuing to chase after her to ask questions would be futile.

She looked at Wen Lvzhong, "Let's go."

Wen Lvzhong nodded, and the two entered the elevator.

Upon reaching the ground floor, Wen Lvzhong went to get his car, while Cheng Wan waited at the main entrance.

As the car pulled up and she was about to get in, she was grabbed from behind and pulled back.

It was Chu Li.

His tone was exceptionally cold and indifferent, "I'll take you home."

Cheng Wan looked at him with irony, "Not staying with your sister Yun Shu anymore?"

Chu Li tightened his grip on her wrist, his voice cold and heavy: "Cheng Wan, is this never going to end?"

Never going to end?

Cheng Wan repeated these four words in her heart, finding them only ironic and laughable.

Was it her who wouldn't let it end?

He clearly didn't believe her, thinking she had stood by and watched Qin Yunshu suffer without helping, yet he still blamed her for not letting it end.

Who was the one who wouldn't let it end, after all...

Wen Lvzhong had already stepped out of the car; out of respect for the fact that Chu Li had saved Ping'an, his tone remained polite.

"Someone really did harass her today; she fled into my private room to seek help. You can check the surveillance and find that drunkard who harassed her to verify it."

The evidence was right there; it just depended on whether Chu Li was willing to check it.

Cheng Wan's heart had long since gone cold.

"Why are you saying so much to him? Anyway, every mistake is my mistake."

"I should have actively and voluntarily sacrificed myself back then so that Miss Qin could escape."

"If something happened to Miss Qin, it was all my fault."

Chu Li's chest heaved rapidly; he was furious.

"When did I ever say that what happened to her was your fault?"

Cheng Wan gave a long "Oh," "Wasn't it me? Then when you pushed me for her sake, I thought I was the culprit."

She recalled the scene at the time, and now her heart was filled with lingering fear; if Wen Lvzhong hadn't been there, the child in her womb might have been lost again.

Chu Li's expression shifted slightly; when did he push her?

"You..."

Cheng Wan really didn't want to argue with Chu Li every day because of these things.

She was weary, and she was disgusted.

"You blame me for not helping, so I will tell you clearly: I am a pregnant woman, and if it happened again, I still wouldn't save her."

She pursed her lips mockingly, "Chu Li, if you really don't know how to be a qualified father, then I advise you, you had better not have this child."

He was fundamentally unfit to be a father.

In the future, if Qin Yunshu encountered any trouble, would he have to blame it on the child?

Chu Li couldn't say a single word.

He truly hadn't been paying attention at the time; it wasn't intentional.

"I..."

"If you want what's best for the child, let go. I am very tired and want to go home."

Cheng Wan looked at Chu Li with indifference.

Her eyes were filled with the calm of a heart turned to ash.

Chu Li did not let go, only saying to Wen Lvzhong, "Thank you for today; I will take her home."

Wen Lvzhong frowned; he could see that Cheng Wan did not want to leave with him.

Just as he was about to speak, Cheng Wan spoke first: "I've delayed you for the whole evening, you should go back first."

If Chu Li wanted to take her, let him.

She only wanted to go home now.

When the car arrived, Cheng Wan opened the door and got in herself; she leaned her head against the window and closed her eyes in exhaustion.

As for how Chu Li felt, she didn't have the energy to care.

Upon returning to Beicheng Villa, she suddenly woke up.

Chu Li was just about to carry her out of the car.

Cheng Wan acted as if she didn't see him and went straight out of the car and inside.

It was already nearly twelve o'clock.

After washing up, Cheng Wan crawled under the covers and went to sleep.

By the time Chu Li returned to the room, Cheng Wan had already fallen into a deep sleep.

He watched her silently for a while, then went to the balcony and had Assistant Wu check the surveillance.

It wasn't to see how Cheng Wan had met Wen Lvzhong, but to watch the surveillance from the private room to see how he had pushed Cheng Wan.

But when he truly saw that scene, his heart tightened instantly.

It really was him.

He had almost harmed her and the child.

His hollow heart was filled with guilt; Chu Li was filled with lingering fear.

Fortunately, she had Wen Lvzhong by her side.

He returned to the room cautiously, lay down beside her with light steps, and gently wrapped his arm around her.

"I'm sorry."

He murmured an apology.

Cheng Wan and Chu Li had long since made an agreement: if Chu Li wanted this child, he should appear in front of Cheng Wan as little as possible.

Therefore, Chu Li got up very early.

Cheng Wan woke up, washed up, and went downstairs; he was sitting at the dining table eating breakfast.

Seeing her, he greeted her very indifferently.

"Morning."

Cheng Wan ignored him.

She ate her breakfast quietly.

It was Chu Li who broke the silence first, "I was anxious yesterday and hurt you; I apologize."

He took the initiative to soften his stance.

Cheng Wan slammed her chopsticks heavily onto the table.

"First thing in the morning, can you stop trying to disgust me?"

The trace of gentleness on Chu Li's face dissipated.

He put down his cup, his voice steady and full of coldness, "Cheng Wan, do I make you that disgusted?"

"What else? Do you think you're that likable?"

The air was filled with the scent of gunpowder.

The servant stood to the side, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Chu Li's eyes were pitch black, adding a coldness like ice, "Yesterday's matter was my fault, but you, Cheng Wan, were you not at fault too?"

"Me?" Cheng Wan laughed in anger.

It seemed she wouldn't be able to finish her breakfast today after all.

"Was it my idea to go to that dinner? Did I call those two drunks over?"

She had almost met with an accident herself.

Yet Chu Li said she was also at fault.

She stared straight at Chu Li, very much wanting to know where she had gone wrong.

Before Chu Li could speak, his phone rang.

He answered it, and his expression changed drastically.

He stood up to leave, but suddenly stopped and yanked Cheng Wan up from her chair.

"Don't you want to know what you did wrong?"

"You'll know once you go."

Cheng Wan was taken to the Yiyuan by Chu Li.

Qin Yunshu had slit her wrists and was currently in the emergency room.

Seeing Cheng Wan, Lady Qin lunged over to attack her, "Cheng Wan, it's all because of you."

"If anything happens to Yun Shu, I won't be finished with you."

Chu Li held her back.

"I have already arranged for doctors to give her emergency treatment."

Lady Qin grabbed Chu Li's arm, crying with snot and tears, "It was Cheng Wan who harmed her."

"A Li, you must vent your anger for Yun Shu."

Cheng Wan stood by the wall, expressionless, "What does that have to do with me?"

Lady Qin was furious, almost jumping up.

She stretched out her finger, pointing straight at Cheng Wan, "If it weren't for you making her lose face when Master Fang was taking on disciples, and if it weren't for you refusing to help yesterday, why would the Cheng Family have called off the engagement, and why would she have lost the will to live?"

Every fault and every mistake was Cheng Wan's fault.

Cheng Wan refused to take the blame, "She has mediocre ability herself, yet she insisted on playing tricks; you blame me?"

"It was you."

Lady Qin cursed angrily, "You liar, you thief, it wasn't enough for you to harm one of my daughters, now you want to kill my other daughter; I want to kill you."

She had completely lost her reason and truly wished she could strangle Cheng Wan right then and there.

A trace of anger surged in Cheng Wan's eyes.

"You only have one daughter; don't mention Xingwan, you aren't worthy."

"You... A Li, are you just going to watch as Yun Shu is bullied by her?"

Lady Qin tugged at Chu Li's arm, crying uncontrollably.
