Chapter 155: Cheng Wan knew Lin Qingya did it on purpose

~8 min read 1,449 words

The wedding scene was in total chaos.

Lin Qingya raised her cold, clear eyes; her gaze did not look at Cheng Han, but instead landed on the face of Qin Yun Shu, which was twisted and flushed with anger.

She curled her lips, pulling out a smile.

Qin Yun Shu saw the provocation in her eyes.

At that moment, she finally realized Lin Qingya's goal.

She also clearly saw Cheng Han kick away the bodyguards who were holding Lin Qingya, one by one.

He tore off his tie, wrapped it tightly around Lin Qingya's wrists, and picked her up.

Qin Yun Shu came back to her senses and chased after them, holding up her wedding dress, her eyes already filled with a layer of tears.

"Cheng Han, you cannot leave."

Even if the wedding was no longer perfect, it had to continue.

Cheng Han frowned, his tone icy, "She is injured."

"You can have someone else take her," Qin Yun Shu lowered her voice.

If Cheng Han left now, she would become a laughingstock.

No, from the moment Cheng Han picked up Lin Qingya, she was already a laughingstock.

She looked at Chu Li for help.

Chu Li and Cheng Wan had already walked over.

Chu Li's expression was somewhat cold, "I will go."

His gaze stared sharply at Cheng Han, full of warning.

Cheng Han's arms tightened; he was hesitating.

Cheng Wan covered her mouth, her eyes full of worry, "Qingya, don't fall asleep, don't."

With her shrill cry, Cheng Han's wavering heart instantly settled.

He looked at Qin Yun Shu, "I am taking her to the Yiyuan, I will be back soon."

"Chu Li, I will leave things here to you."

He carried Lin Qingya and strode away.

Leaving Qin Yun Shu and the wedding behind.

Cheng Wan followed behind and left.

"Cheng Han."

Qin Yun Shu screamed in a breakdown; her skirt was too long, and she fell to the ground, her pristine white wedding dress brushing against blood and becoming soiled.

Her hands trembled; those gazes falling upon her were filled with sympathy, mockery, and schadenfreude...

She did not even dare to look up, her vision going black.

Cheng Mingzhu had already jumped up in anger, "Slut, they are all sluts, such a perfectly good wedding..."

"Shut up." Chu Li's cold, deep gaze swept over.

The words in Cheng Mingzhu's mouth were swallowed back.

Chu Li had people help Qin Yun Shu up, and he pacified the guests to clear the venue.

At the Yiyuan.

Lin Qingya was pushed into the emergency room.

Cheng Han leaned against the wall, one leg bent, his gaze calm, his face expressionless.

Cheng Wan sat opposite him, her phone playing the chaotic footage from the wedding.

The marriage alliance between the Chu Family and the Cheng Family was the focus of the entire city; such a farce was big news and hit the headlines immediately.

The video looped three times before the phone was snatched away by Cheng Han.

His voice was very low, "You were doing fine, why are you getting tangled up with Chu Li again?"

He had originally used the marriage alliance to trade for a new life for her.

Yet she had returned to Chu Li's side.

"Just for Lin Qingya?" Cheng Han's tone was cold.

Cheng Wan looked up at him, her gaze very calm.

"I grew up in an orphanage before I was seven; that place was called an orphanage, but to be precise, it should have been called an amusement park—an amusement park for adults."

She spoke very slowly, recalling the humiliation of the past.

"To eat there, you could only do it by playing games, games customized by the adults; whoever performed well could get something good to eat, and whoever didn't perform well had to be locked in a dark room and go hungry."

Cheng Han's brow twitched, and just as he was about to speak, Cheng Wan had already continued.

"Later, some things happened, and I escaped from the orphanage and met Qin Xingwan, Grandma, and Master; they took me in, Grandma made sure I was fed, and Master made me go to school."

"Then later there was a fire, and Grandma and I came to the Qin Family; you know, the Qin Family didn't like that daughter, and at first I had a very hard time, but that was when I met Qingya; at that time, she wanted to commit suicide, and I picked her up."

Cheng Han's palm curled inward.

"I stayed with her, slowly guiding her, and she also stayed with me; we poured our hearts out to each other, encouraged each other, and grew up together; later, there was a time I was kidnapped, and to save me, she was almost beaten to death."

Cheng Wan's voice grew softer and more gentle.

"I have had no family since I was small; it was very bitter."

"But then I met them; I am very lucky."

"So for them, I can do anything."

I would even risk my life.

She finished speaking, her emotions still without much ripple, yet it allowed one to glimpse the determination in her heart.

Cheng Han spun his phone, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Cheng Han, can you let her go?" Cheng Wan asked.

Cheng Han did not speak.

Cheng Wan sighed and did not bring it up again.

Lin Qingya was not seriously injured and woke up quickly.

"Wanwan," she said in a weak voice.

Just as Cheng Wan was about to step forward, she was stopped by Cheng Han.

"Cheng Wan, go out; I have something to say to her."

Cheng Wan hesitated for a moment, and seeing Lin Qingya nod, she left.

The sound of the hospital room door closing came through.

Cheng Han spoke up, "Did you do it on purpose?"

The corners of Lin Qingya's mouth moved, pulling into a sarcastic smile, "Yes, I did it on purpose."

She and Cheng Wan had lived through such hardships; why should Qin Yun Shu get to have a grand and glorious wedding?

Old grudges and new hatreds made her act on impulse once.

To take revenge for herself, and also to take revenge for Cheng Wan.

Cheng Han fell silent again.

Lin Qingya turned her head away, "You should go."

Looking at him even for one more second made her feel disgusted inside.

Cheng Han was so angered by her dismissive attitude that he laughed, "Lin Qingya, don't forget, there is a deep blood feud between us; this matter is not over."

"A deep blood feud?" Lin Qingya stared at him and began to laugh.

It was extremely sarcastic.

"You are right, there is indeed a deep blood feud between us; your parents killed my parents, and you are their son, which makes you the murderer who killed my parents."

They were already in a relationship of mutual hatred.

The relationship had completely broken down, so what could it matter?

Cheng Han looked down at her from above, sneering with cold indifference.

"They treated you like their own daughter, and you say they are murderers? Lin Qingya, do you still have a conscience?"

A conscience?

Lin Qingya wanted to laugh; his parents' deaths were also an accident, yet he still blamed the accident on her and judged her as a murderer.

Even now, three years later, he was still unwilling to let her go.

Outside.

Cheng Wan stood by the window, watching the autumn wind blow the trees until they bent at the waist.

A coat still warm from body heat landed on her shoulders.

"Why are you standing here in the wind?"

It was Chu Li who had arrived.

His expression was relatively gentle, and no emotions could be discerned.

Cheng Wan pulled the coat tighter, "Cheng Han and Qingya are talking inside."

She asked, "Is the wedding over?"

Chu Li gave a hum, looked at her pale face, and asked in a low voice, "The wedding was ruined; you knew she did it on purpose, didn't you?"

Otherwise, she wouldn't have said a line like that at the time.

It made Cheng Han, who had been wavering, choose to abandon Qin Yun Shu and take Lin Qingya to the Yiyuan.

"I guessed it."

Cheng Wan had only guessed it after Lin Qingya slit her wrists.

It was also at that moment that she felt relieved.

She said in a cool, detached tone, "Actually, you could go keep Qin Yun Shu company; you don't need to come here specifically."

Right now, Qin Yun Shu must be both devastated and heartbroken.

At a time like this, if Chu Li doesn't stay by her side, when else would he?
