Chapter 855 - Four Years Later (2/2)

The DIE drug was able to make people hallucinate. If there wasn’t such a thing, her uncle probably wouldn’t have been so head over heels for Xiao Ying!

After all, he had seen all sorts of women before! Xiao Ying was really too ruthless and heartless!

Nan Zhi sat on the beach, completely drenched as she stared at Qiao Yanze, who had almost died in the sea.

She didn’t comfort him like he did in the past. Instead, she did not say anything, merely raising his hand to slap her face ruthlessly.

As his niece, and really shouldn’t have hit him. But she really had no other way to deal with this situation anymore.

If her slap was able to wake him up, it was fine if he hated or blamed her for it.

In the last few days, her mother and her had been completely helpless because of him!

They had said everything they could, to the point that their lips were dried up, but he still didn’t listen to them.

He even wanted to commit suicide!

Staring at Qiao Yanze, who remained unmoved after receiving the slap, the angry fire within Nan Zhi burst out.

“Uncle, do you think you can solve everything by dying? If you did, Grandma wouldn’t forgive you if she met you in the Underworld!

“If you died, you will only make Xiao Ying happier. What she wanted was for our Qiao family to be broken, for you to not be able to stand the blow and leave our world to accompany her!”

Nan Zhi’s emotions burst out uncontrollably. “If you think that dying can solve everything, have you ever thought about Mom and I? For you, we came to this unknown country. I can’t go back to see Mu Sihan, and I’m separated from my son. Why did I have to do that? I did it because of you! I want to see you stand back up again, to find the mysterious person behind Xiao Ying, to see you rebuild the Qiao family and let Grandma not die in vain!

“If you die, the taint on the Qiao family can never be washed away again! In the future, when people talk about the Qiao family, they would say that the family dealt in drugs and that we’re horrible and not respectable!

“I know you faced a very strong blow, that you cannot get over the fact that Grandma has died. But, the sadder you are, the more you have to stay strong and stand back up!”

Nan Zhi’s words touched Qiao Yanze’s emotions, the vein on his forehead popping up. “What else can I do by living in this world? Death is the best relief! It’s the only thing I can do! What’s the point in living in this state?!”

Relieved to hear him speak at last, Nan Zhi nodded. “Alright, you want to die, right? Then I’ll do it with you! Anyway, I have nothing now. By the time we die, my Mom would definitely not be able to live as well. Our whole family can go down to the Underworld and reunite there!”

Nan Zhi ran towards sea.

Watching as Nan Zhi really started to run towards the sea, his numbed emotions slowly went away as he started to become nervous and panicked.

Pus.h.i.+ng his exhausted body up from the beach, he chased after Nan Zhi and grabbed her with his last remaining strength. By now, her abdomen was almost covered by the sea water. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry… I was the one who caused Older Sister and you to suffer with me, it’s my fault, it’s all my fault!”

Nan Zhi turned around, staring at the frail and thin Qiao Yanze. She shook her head. “It’s okay, Uncle. There’s still time. As long as you can stand back up, our family will become better again. I know it!”

The moment Nan Zhi finished speaking, her stomach started to churn and cramp. It hurt! She stared at Qiao Yanze, suddenly blacking out as she lost consciousness.

“Zhizhi!”

…

Four years later.

During spring, the town felt refres.h.i.+ng, flowers blooming everywhere as life filled the whole area.

Ji Chuan had just gotten the Jiteng Award’s latest Best Actor award. After the award ceremony, he accepted a role in another romance movie.

To shoot the film, he happened to come across this quaint town in Europe for filming.

The moment he got off the flight, Ji Chuan took out his sungla.s.ses. Staring at the warm and pretty town, he felt his mood soaring nicely.

“After being in the flight for more than ten hours, I feel like my bones are about to fall apart. Check quickly to see what’s nice to eat here?”

His a.s.sistant took out his phone. “Young Master Ji, there’s a private kitchen with very good reviews.”
