Chapter 920 - He Sold Himself Short (1/2)

Chu Lui got in the car and leaned against the seat as he took out a cigarette. Once again, he felt that he was a cargo that a bunch of people was selling as he had sold himself cheap.

Chu Jiang was right. He needed a woman by his side to block those unnecessary rumors, and a marriage was just for both parties to use each other.

Since he had to marry and it would be any woman, then why would it matter if it was Xia Yixuan?

He whipped out his phone and made a call.

“Hello, Lu Jinrong. I need to ask you something.”

Not long later, he and Lu Jinrong both sat at the edge of a table respectively. The gaze that the duo was giving each other with was unfamiliar and almost as if they were trying to seriously size up the other party. Both sides had not moved since they came.

“Why are you looking for me?” Lu Jinrong said lightly and leaned against the chair as he folded his arms.

Chu Lui used his fingertips to knock the table, and his pair of dark eyes had no light or emotions in the night. “You can let your sister come back. I’ll ask everyone who knows about this incident to keep the secret to their coffins.”

“Really?” Lu Jinrong did not feel anything. If he was really worrying about this, then he would have been very happy if he heard about it. However, he could not be happy.

“Say, how did you do it?” He sighed lightly. It seemed like the Chu family and the Xia household had come to an agreement. If not, based on Xia Yixuan’s temperament, she would have never agreed, and that disgusting Xia couple who reported at his house every day would not. His family all thought that they were in the wrong so they had to endure, but he knew the reason and still had to hold it in.

“Nothing much.” Chu Lui retracted his fingers lightly and took out a cigarette to light it up. Then, he started puffing smoke out. Last time, he used to be so over his head; now, it was as though he had resigned to fate and accepted his life.

Suddenly, Lu Jinrong leaned forward and asked Chu Lui seriously.

“Tell me. What exactly happened back then?” Now, he really wanted to know if it was Chu Lui that hurt his sister. However, based on his understanding of Chu Lui…

Chu Lui would never do this for one Xia Yixuan as that was his sister and someone from the Lu family.

Chu Lui tugged at his lips. “Your sister kidnapped Xia Yixuan, and I just happened to find some information from Brother San. When I reached there, I saw your sister holding a knife and wanting to kill Xia Yixuan.

“Xia Yixuan was tortured by your sister until she was half-dead. Coincidentally, I used that fruit knife and hurt her by mistake so I took her to the hospital first. Did I not call you when I was driving for you to pick your sister up?”

He said it concisely and did not say anything much. These few sentences had explained the entire incident.

As expected, Lu Jinrong’s gut feeling was correct. No matter what happened back then and even if his sister really killed Xia Yixuan, Chu Lui would not do anything to her. It was precisely because Xia Yixuan did not matter much to him. However, he could only know what had caused Xiaohua’s injury when she woke up.

“Also, what did you promise Xia Yixuan? What did you promise the Xia household?” He sized Chu Lui up, and this man was not too happy. However, it seemed like he had always been like that for the past few days.

“Nothing much.” Chu Lui frowned slightly and stood up while throwing the cigarette bud in his hand onto the ashtray on the table. “I’m leaving, and I have said all that I wanted to.” Actually, he was not that selfless to sacrifice himself for others. Both him and Xia Yixuan were just taking what they wanted, and he did something convenient along the way.
