Chapter 931 - Best Of Luck (2/2)

”Someone?” repeated Xiu in confusion.

”Liu Mingfan,” answered Zhou Jinhai. ”I believe you already know what kind of a relationship Liu Mingfan and Chen Hana had before everything went wrong.”

”I do,” said Xiu. ”But later Chen Hana never had any relation with Liu Mingfan even though she still loved him.”

”Yes, but after Chen Xiu's death, she had told him about Chen Xiu. How she met the little girl and what happened later on.”

To say that Xiu wasn't interested in learning about that would be a lie. No one had found the answer to these questions. After all, the one who was most clear about everything was Chen Hana who was still in a coma and had no hope of ever waking up again. But Xiu didn't wish to live in darkness. She really wanted to know why his childhood memories were so chaotic. And why was her relationship so estranged with Chen Hana?

What really happened back then?

”Do you know the answers I need?” her voice was quite stiff when she asked that question with difficulty. She didn't know why she felt nervous when she was clearly close to knowing the answers she was looking for.

Zhou Jinhai nodded his head. He took a diary and placed it before her. ”This belongs to Chen Hana and Uncle Liu had been keeping it for her. The reason why he never brought it out was that Chen Xiu was already dead and he didn't know what to do with all this information. When he learned that Chen Xiu was originally the daughter of the Xin family, he wanted to give this diary to Xin Zimen. However, I took it from him. I thought you'd like to learn the truth first.”

Xiu's eyes didn't leave the diary that was placed before her. It was quite old and one could see it weathered quite a few storms. Xiu wanted to reach out to take it and read it but she also couldn't bring herself to do so. It was a conflict she couldn't seem to solve within her.

Zhou Jinhai stood up to leave as he said, ”I believe you'd want to be alone. So, I'm gonna leave now.”

”You can stay for lunch,” offered Darren.

Zhou Jinhai shook his head, ”Another time. For now, I should leave. Tomorrow, I'm going back to work. I wouldn't want to disappoint dad anymore.”

”Best of luck,” said Darren as he saw him out the door. But when he came back, Xiu was still sitting right there with her eyes still glued to that old diary. He could understand the conflict she was going through but he also knew she wasn't weak enough to back out.

She had always faced everything head first without any fear. It's not that she didn't fear anything, but it was just that she had become good at hiding her fear. Just like now, she scared that the answers she was looking for might really change all her beliefs all over again.
