Chapter 1379 - I Only Want You (2/2)

Jing Chu asked in astonishment, “Died… they died?”

“I’m not trying to scare you. They really died. How do you think they died?”

“Did Master Pei kill them?”

Qin Guo answered firmly, “That’s right. If you’re sensible, you’d better not stay here for too long. Ancestor is temperamental, fickle, and unpredictable. I can’t guarantee that he won’t kill you someday.”

Consumed by terror, Jing Chu’s hands began trembling uncontrollably.

However, she still wanted to convince herself that he would never kill her. He didn’t seem like the sort.

She constantly tried to comfort herself.

Qin Guo said, “Please don’t tell Ancestor that I was here. Otherwise, I’ll also tell his wife about your existence. That’s all I have to say. I’m leaving now.”

Jing Chu had tensed up in fear, feeling as if her heart was being scrunched up tightly and no longer capable of beating.

As soon as she returned upstairs, she sat on the bed and began researching about the DK Organization online.

Although she was barely literate, she could still understand the reports and comments made about them online.

After reading the content, she sat on the bed stiffly. Her hands and legs were cold and clammy, and she seemed to have lost her soul.

Pei Yi returned during noontime. Noticing that she seemed to be out of sorts, he asked, “Are you still hungover?”

Jing Chu looked at him and asked, “Will you kill me?”

Pei Yi asked with a frown, “Why would you ask such a question?”

“I’m asking you, will you kill me in the future?”

He answered half-jokingly, “I won’t if you stay obedient. But if you disobey me, I might very likely kill you.”

Flabbergasted, Jing Chu lay down and pulled the duvet over her face. She felt terribly worried.

Pei Yi lifted the duvet and asked, “Why are you acting so strangely? What happened?”

Jing Chu bit her lip and said, “I’m afraid that you’d kill me. I’m terrified. I’ve been through lots of suffering in the past. Could you please let me continue living like this? Don’t kill me. Let me experience the wonderful bits of life.”

“Why would I kill you with no rhyme or reason?”

Seemingly having guessed something, Pei Yi added, “Did someone say something to you?”

“No,” she answered, shaking her head.

Pei Yi could tell from her expression that someone must have spoken to her. “Tell me honestly, did someone tell you something?”

“No…”

“Do you want me to check the surveillance cameras? I’ll find out once I do.”

“A woman named Qin Guo came by this morning, and she told me not to let you know of her visit. She threatened to inform your wife about our relationship if I were to tell on her.”

A menacing look formed on Pei Yi’s face and he said, “How dare she.”

Upon realizing that he sounded a little stern, he mellowed his tone and continued, “Don’t worry, she wouldn’t dare to tell my wife. She definitely wouldn’t. Tell me, what did she say to you?”

Jing Chu told him everything truthfully, after which she could tell that he was infuriated.

“Is Ms. Qin really your servant?”

“Yes, but just ignore her. I’ll deal with her when I go back.”

“Just pretend that you don’t know anything. Otherwise, she’ll definitely know that I was the one who told you,” Jing Chu said worriedly.

“Are you afraid of her?”

“No, but just don’t do it.”

He conceded after much persuasion.

Jing Chu headed to the orphanage to see that the man whom she had chanced upon in the estate the other day was present too.

Tang Zhijing saw her as well.

“What are you doing here?”

“I should be asking you that. I’m a volunteer here.”
