Chapter 350 - He Wanted an Explanation (1/2)

She seemed to have suffered some heavy blows.

”Is Auntie Xia sick? If there's anything I can do for you, I'll definitely do it. Even though Yixuan's not here anymore and though I'm not your son-in-law anymore either, I'm still the Chu Lui that you know. The ties between our families are still here.”

Chu Lui spoke calmly, his suspicion towards Xia Mingzheng's true intention growing. He scanned the surroundings discreetly and saw two pairs of new shoes, one belonging to a woman and the other a man.

There were only Xia Mingzheng and Shen Yijun in the Xia household now so where did the other two pairs of shoes come from? He wanted to know.

”It's nothing serious, it's just thinking too much due to old age. She'll be fine with some rest.” Xia Mingzheng's eyes shifted upstairs from time to time as if worrying about something.

Chu Lui noticed but did not reveal him.

”It's great if there's nothing wrong.” Chu Lui's lips curled. He was just exchanging pleasantries.

”Father, we're heading out…” The thing that Xia Mingzheng was most worried about happened. There was no concealing the truth, but he never thought that they would be caught red-handed by Chu Lui.

The Xia Yixuan whom everyone thought had died was walking down the stairs at that time, hand in hand with a tall, white man. A white man, a real white man.

”Lui… Brother Lui…” Xia Yixuan's smile froze on her face. She was actually not prepared to meet him and did not know how to do so. She understood this man. He could tolerate one's stubbornness, one's unreasonableness, and one's little cunningness, but he would never tolerate deceit. Further, she had spun such a huge lie.

A lie of life and death.

”I think you have some explaining to do. What exactly is going on?” Chu Lui breathed in deep, his chest rising and falling. So she was really alive. The woman who made him dead inside for four years was actually still alive and standing perfectly fine in front of him without a single hair harmed.

He was not surprised, just angry from being deceived. The anger burnt through his entire body and pierced his soul.

Xia Yixuan sneaked a glance carefully at Chu Lui and then inched closer to the white man, their hands tightening. Xia Mingzheng's face was red, and he shook his head continually. It was really a disgrace to the family, but she was his daughter. No matter how out of line she was, she was still his only daughter.

Xia Yixuan hung her head low and rubbed her hands together nervously. She did not dare to look at Chu Lui. He seemed colder and more unapproachable compared to four years ago. She was riddled with unease and did not really know where to start explaining the truth she had hidden for four years.

It was a tremendous lie.

”Yixuan, you can talk now, right?” Chu Lui sat on the sofa and crossed his leg. If he could not get a satisfactory answer today, then no one could even think of leaving. Meanwhile, his eyes narrowed, and he questioned Xia Yixuan. There was no longer any trace of the love he had for her. All that was left were anger and hatred from her deception.

However, his face was cold, scarily cold.
