Chapter 931 - Best Of Luck (1/2)

”That...” Darren wasn't sure about what to say.

”Don't worry. I'm not trying to force you,” said Zhou Jinhai. ”I just want you to give me a chance to be an elder brother again. There is nothing else I ask for.” He pressed his lips together tightly as he looked at Darren with anticipation and nervousness. ”I know I can't fix our past. But I do want to write the wrongs.”

Darren sighed out as he gazed at him and nodded, ”I have always respected you as my elder brother. And I never had anything against you either. I never blamed you for anything either. At first, I kept my distance from you because I didn't want you to come to a point where you'd have to choose between me or your mother. No matter who was right or wrong, I didn't want to put you in such a dilemma. Later with Chen Xiu...” His hands clenched and Xiu placed her hand over his clenched one as she offered him a gentle and reassuring smile, ”Maybe I can't forget all of it but I won't let it come between us again as well.”

Zhou Jinhai finally smiled as he relaxed a little, ”Thank you!”

Later the three of them fell into silence as Zhou Jinhai continued to sneak a peek at Xiu with a complex emotion in his eyes. Noticing his eyes, Xiu couldn't help asking, ”Do you have something to say to me?”

”I'm not certain whether I should be telling you this or not,” said Zhou Jinhai.

”Oh, is it because you still don't believe in reincarnation and stuff?” questioned Xiu with a straight face. ”Whatever you have to say, is it for Chen Xiu?”

Zhou Jinhai didn't hide it as he nodded his head, ”Indeed, what I want to say has everything to do with Chen Xiu. And I believe she'd have desperately wanted these answers.”

From the moment Zhou Jinhai had come to rescue Xiu from his wife and his mother, he had heard about his wife's absurd talk regarding how Chen Xiu is back. No matter how desperately he wanted to believe it, he just couldn't bring himself to come to terms with the fact that the Xiu before him was actually the Chen Xiu he was once familiar with.

That's why every time he faced her, he had a complicated look in his eyes. He neither wanted to believe this absurdity nor did he want to deny it. A part of him wanted her to be Chen Xiu and another part didn't want her to be Chen Xiu. And both reasons had his own selfishness.

”Whatever it is, you can tell us,” said Darren. As long as it was related to his wife in any way, he couldn't stop himself from learning about it.

”It's about your mother... I mean Chen Hana,” replied Zhou Jinhai as he gazed at Xiu who didn't give him a visible reaction. However, she was really interested in hearing what he had to say about Chen Hana. ”I think Chen Xiu would have loved to know how she became Chen Xiu from Xin Xiulin.”

Xiu straightened up as she looked at him, ”You know the answer?”

Zhou Jinhai nodded his head, ”I do. I just recently learned about it from someone.”
