Chapter 351 - She was a Substitute (1/2)

”That's what I thought…” Cheryl put his arm around Xia Yixuan's shoulders. ”This gentleman here. I don't care what your relationship with Xia Yixuan was, but I just want to say that she's my lover now, not yours.”

The smile on Xia Yixuan's face stiffened.

Amongst everyone present, only that big fool didn't know what Xia Yixuan meant by those words and really thought that she had remembered wrongly. Rather, she had recalled correctly. It was just that she couldn't remember the name.

Xia Yixuan peeked carefully at Chu Lui's face and realized that he was basically expressionless, and yet this was when he was the scariest. One could never imagine what he was actually thinking about right now, whether it was to kill one or tear one apart.

Chu Lui's thin lips curled slightly, without much curvature. He was silent for a long time and a little speechless. He did not expect that the woman he had loved for years, one who he thought was innocent and lovely, would deceive him like this.

He stood up tall in front of Xia Yixuan, making her shrink back slowly. ”Brother… Lui… I'm sorry… I know I was wrong, I'm sorry…” She continued to cower, her forehead breaking out in cold sweat.

The pressure from this man was always so scary and petrifying.

”You mean you faked your own death to disappear because you realized you loved someone else?” He asked word by word.

Xia Yixuan hunched her shoulders and nodded.

”You mean you schemed everything yourself, and Xia Ruoxin was merely just a scapegoat for you to cover people's eyes and ears with?”

His voice became colder.

Xia Yixuan nodded again.

That was because—at that time—there was no one else she could find to take her out other than that stupid sister, and she feared that if she faced Chu Lui, he would see through everything.

”You've been living a free and easy life outside for four years, but do you know how long that innocent woman has borne the weight of your death?” Chu Lui clenched his hands tightly; otherwise, he couldn't guarantee whether he would choke that selfish woman to death. Did she even know? Did she know what that woman had gone through because of her 'death'?

So she was always innocent. She really had not done anything, but no one believed her.

Even her marriage was a trap that he had devised to make her life a living hell.

Then, what did this make Chu Lui? What did this make his revenge?

His revenge four years ago was unnecessary. He had hurt an innocent woman for someone like this.

”Give it to me!” Chu Lui stretched his hand out, glaring at the amulet hanging at her neck with unfeeling black eyes. It was time she returned that to him, for she was no longer worthy of it.

She wasn't the Xia Yixuan in the past, and neither was he.

Their relationship had long ended four years ago.
