Chapter 529: Chapter 533: Deserve to be Abandoned After Being Useless?
The words uttered by Ran Xiangsi back then truly carved out a new world for him.
Now, he just wants to live out the remaining years of his life well.
Hatred is too heavy a burden, and he doesn’t want it weighing on his heart.
Seeing Gu Beichuan talking and laughing like this, he seems to be much better.
Ran Xiangsi smiled and nodded, finally able to look at Ding Jia with pride.
"You... didn’t you say you saw me kill him with your own eyes? Open your eyes wide and see clearly, is this Gu Beichuan standing in front of you a human or a ghost?"
"..." Ding Jia was petrified on the spot.
Didn’t the person who handed the photo to her say that they saw Gu Beichuan dead with their own eyes?
How could this Gu Beichuan now be standing here alive and well?
Ding Jia obviously had nothing to say, and the guests seated understood as well that Ding Jia was lying.
Gu Beichuan, talking so amicably with Ran Xiangsi right now, looked more like long-lost friends rather than enemies with a deep-seated grudge.
So much for the murder and corpse disposal; it turned out to be this woman’s fabricated lie!
Really, did she take them all for fools?
The people below the stage, all prominent and ill-tempered figures, started to stir up a commotion.
"Old Commander Lou, what kind of witness is this you brought? Turns out she’s a fraud? I think she should be the one arrested!"
"Exactly! Taking us for fools, almost got tricked by her!"
"Such a person should be severely punished! Commander, hurry and arrest her!"
"Yes, yes!"
...
The sentiment of the people was clear, everyone started to rally in groups, and Lou Zhaonian naturally knew he couldn’t hold on any longer.
He never expected Gu Beichuan to be truly alive!
Moreover, Ding Jia was brought here by him, now that things have come to light, he certainly couldn’t protect Ding Jia, and could only go along with the people’s will to save himself.
"Everyone, please calm down! I was also deceived by this vile woman! Lieutenant, quickly arrest this nonsensical woman!"
Hearing Lou Zhaonian so quickly distancing himself from her, Ding Jia panicked, and with a thud, she knelt down at Lou Zhaonian’s feet, clutching his leg tightly, "Commander, you can’t do this! You promised that as long as I testified, you would take me in, you would see me as part of the Lou Family... save me, please save me..."
This scene, viewed by Lou Xinyu, felt inexplicably familiar.
She remembered, when she tried to deal with Ran Xiangsi back then, she was also defeated by Ran Xiangsi and then knelt at her grandfather’s feet, pleading bitterly with him.
Now Ding Jia’s outcome was exactly the same as hers back then.
Why must history repeat itself in this way?
Was she the same as Ding Jia, or... both she and Ding Jia were just pawns in her grandfather’s hands, discarded when no longer useful?
Tears filled Lou Xinyu’s eyes, she shakily stepped back two steps, looking incredulously at the back of her grandfather who had doted on her since childhood, feeling unbearably uncomfortable all over.
So... was she just a pawn arranged by her grandfather?
All those words of love, the pearl in his palm, the cherished young lady...
Upon careful reflection, from childhood to now, her grandfather had only ever cared whether she brought glory to the Lou Family, never knowing what she liked to eat or disliked.
Not even her persistent clinginess to Brother William; that was encouraged by her grandfather.
Rather than encouragement, now she feels it was more of a coaxing!
