If she had heard correctly, Lu Qingyan had said ‘take care of it’.
Given the time-traveling woman’s personality, she would have already sought to reunite with Lu Qingyan long ago.
The disgust in Lu Qingyan’s eyes was genuine. She didn’t know what the time-traveling woman had said to him to trigger such emotion.
Even when the time-traveling woman had occupied this body, Lu Qingyan’s dislike for her hadn’t been this intense.
Lu Qingyan had only been gone for a minute, and Chu Muxi’s voice then disappeared.
By the time Jiang Nanshu had gotten ready and gotten out of bed, Lu Qingyan sent her a message saying that he had boarded the plane.
She replied briefly and headed to the western suburbs cemetery.
Zhou Zhenghui was already inside.
The Zhou family’s butler was guarding the main gate.
Upon seeing Jiang Nanshu, he respectfully led the person inside.
Fresh fruit was placed in front of his tombstone.
It must have been brought by Zhou Zhenghui, as there was still a layer of dust on the tombstone that hadn’t been cleaned up.
The black-and-white photo above was of Zhou Yanxu in his youth.
Even though Jiang Nanshu knew that this wasn’t the Zhou Yanxu she’d spent every day with, she still reached out and brushed the dust off his tombstone.
“The arsonists are about to be released from prison.” Zhou Zhenghui suddenly said.
Seeing Jiang Nanshu looking at him, he sighed softly.
“Because the fire was an accident, no matter how much we asked, they kept claiming that it was an accident, and the police couldn’t do anything about it. A life was lost, and they couldn’t afford to pay so much, so they spent four years in prison and will be released next week.”
Jiang Nanshu lowered her eyelashes: “Going to jail is really a huge advantage for them. People who harm others like this should die.”
Zhou Zhenghui nodded in agreement, “Yes, it’s a shame Yanxu’s death was ultimately dismissed as an accidental fire.”
He paused, perhaps finding resonance in the fact that even a stranger like Jiang Nanshu felt sorry for Zhou Yanxu.
He smiled and said, “If I didn’t know you were the daughter of the Jiang family in Beijing, I would have thought you were the daughter of those arsonists who came back for revenge, just because of your high level of attention to Yanxu.”
“Why do you say that?” Jiang Nanshu asked, puzzled.
“It’s because you all have the surname Jiang. I’m being overly sensitive. China has 1.4 billion people, with all sorts of surnames. It’s very complex, and there are many people with the same surname. This isn’t a big deal.”
Jiang Nanshu was silent for a moment, finally confirming the identity.
The arsonist was her parents from her original world, who abused her.
How could this pair of demons deserve to live in this world?
They were just polluting the air.
Jiang Nanshu said in a very calm tone: “Being their child would be very unfortunate.”
“Forget it. It’s been so many years. As long as they quietly leave Hong Kong, I’ll pretend I don’t know them.” Zhou Zhenghui ran an honest business and had never harmed anyone, let alone had the thought of killing someone.
Jiang Nanshu carefully wiped the tombstone clean, then gently patted it, as if to comfort him.
Zhou Zhenghui went to the side and instructed someone to clean Zhou Yanxu’s grave.
Jiang Nanshu then said softly, “Let me avenge you one more time. Starting with this couple.” (T/N: I’m really feeling so sad for Yanxu, for Nanshu…)
…
The crew, Su Ran’s private rest room—
Two bodyguards were guarding outside.
Only he and Su Ran were inside.
At this moment, Su Ran looked somewhat flustered: “How could I impersonate your uncle’s daughter? That’s simply impossible! You know perfectly well that I have absolutely no connection with the Zhou family.”
Zhou Yanbai’s expression was indifferent, a smile curling his lips, “Is there anything I can’t do? If I say you are, you must be.”
Su Ran knew that he was used to being domineering and tyrannical, so she pursed her lips and didn’t want to argue with him. She simply reached out and touched her lower abdomen.
“This is your child. If it works, what do you think our relationship is? Cousin? Do you want to commit incest with me?”
When Su Ran uttered those two words, she felt a sense of vengeful pleasure, and seeing Zhou Yanbai frown made her feel even more satisfied.
However, her joy was short-lived.
Zhou Yanbai relaxed his brow and smiled deeply: “Don’t you like Lu Qingyan? How about letting him become a father unexpectedly?”
