Chapter 868 - Does It Look Like You? (2/2)

She did not say anything wrong, but Xia Mingzheng felt a bit embarrassed.

It seemed like a person like Chu Jiang did not really need anyone’s comfort. He could tolerate a lot more than an average person could. However, Xia Yixuan was not wrong in saying that as the two families had ties that went quite a long way back. No matter what, he really had to go visit her. These few years, the relationship between the families had hit the rocks so that should take this chance and fix it.

After they left, Shen Yijun then walked out of the house. On her sickly face, one could not see any color.

However, she smiled.

Yes, other than crying, she could only smile.

Coldly, she looked outside the window. Only Xia Mingzheng knew what Xia Yixuan was plotting. No, he should know, but he turned a blind eye towards it and waited for her to collect the fruits of her victory.

They were still harboring hopes for the Chu family. Just that, based on Chu Lui’s personality, would he want a woman like Xia Yixuan?

Besides, she did not believe in Xia Yixuan’s so-called love.

Xia Yixuan loved herself the most and did not love anyone else. She did not love Xia Mingzheng and, of course, did not love Chu Lui. It did surprise her a little that Chu Lui, who had lost everything, could still be attractive to her.

However, Shen Yijun did not know that she only guessed half of Xia Yixuan’s thoughts correctly.

If one had to say what kind of feelings Xia Yixuan had for Chu Lui, it might be love; but it definitely was not more than the love she had for herself. The reason why she did not let go was that she did not like Xia Ruoxin; whatever she could not have, she would not let anyone else have it. Secondly, she discovered that she really could not leave Chu Lui; the more he ignored her, the more she wanted to conquer him.

In this world, not only men could conquer women; women could do the same, too.

Now, the thing that Shen Yijun wanted to know the most was her daughter’s whereabouts. Where was her Xinxin, and where was her granddaughter—Rainy? When she walked over, the helper aside seemed so afraid that she would fall down and knock her head.

Shen Yijun went to the couch and picked up the newspaper Xia Yixuan was flipping through.

Young Girl Died in a Car Accident; Identity a Mystery

Piak! Her hand lost its grip, and the newspaper fell on the floor. There was also a large picture of the unknown female corpse with her badly mangled face, twisted limbs, and contorted facial expression.

Hurriedly, she turned away and started to hyperventilate. She felt that her heart was beating faster and faster; the faster it was, the more painful it got.

“Quick, take it away. Take it away!”

She kept yelling. Suddenly, she felt something churning in her stomach as she ran to the toilet to vomit.

…

“Look.” Lu Jinrong placed the newspaper in front of Xia Ruoxin.

“Does it look like you? I pulled quite a bit of connections to get her to look this way.”

It’s fake? Xia Ruoxin could not make a sound temporarily so she used her gaze to ask him.
