Chapter 173: Chapter 174: Chenxing, Can You Please Wake Up?_1
Hua Hua was refurbishing her hairstyle while keeping pace like a brown-noser, also lamenting her month’s wasted salary.
================================The scene transition=================================
With a clang, the cup in front of her dropped to the floor, shattering into countless pieces,
Just like her own heart, impossible to pick up.
She read the entire file word by word. Her mind was blank, her lips trembling violently: "This... this... this can’t be true!"
She did not believe it!
She did not believe anything!
How could this happen?
How is it possible?
How could it turn out like this?
"A friend of mine at the police station found this while sorting out old files. It appears to be a secret file. I procured it through quite a few connections. Do you think it’s true?" Xia Jianqing looked at her shock-stricken expression, and added: "Do you think I’d joke with you about something like this?"
But... how could this be?
Chenxing swayed weakly.
She pressed her lips tightly, her heart chilled to the core, and remained silent for a long while.
"Chenxing, try to compose yourself, okay?"
Chenxing lifted her eyes and looked at Jianqing, her facial muscles trembling incessantly.
"I don’t believe it. If it’s a secret file, how could your friend coincidentally uncover it? Furthermore, the police concluded it was an accident all those years ago, so how could they leave an obvious case file behind? That’s contradictory, isn’t it?"
Chenxing tried to think about the situation logically and calmly, but emotionally, she was mostly persuaded by the detailed file. However, how was she supposed to accept this in the moment?
For a split second, she wished she had not set foot here, had never met Xia Jianqing, and had not seen this file. How could she believe that the person she spent day and night with was actually the murderer of her father?
Can she opt out of knowing anything?
Chenxing’s pallor was uncontrollable. She knew why Xia Jianqing showed her this file, and what he was ultimately aiming at. Even if he didn’t say it, she couldn’t possibly stay with Gu Shaocheng, could she?
Tears naturally started rolling down her cheeks.
"Jianqing..." her voice shook violently, "Please, tell me, this is not true."
Seeing her condition, Xia Jianqing’s heart ached; he reprimanded her softly. "Chenxing, have you not come to your senses yet? Do you know what kind of people you’re living with? I really miss the girl who used to cling to me all the time. Think about it carefully, who really cares for you, who genuinely wants the best for you?"
Xia Jianqing suddenly grasped her hand. Chenxing felt confused: "What... what should I do? I have to avenge my mom and dad. They died so miserably, so unjustly. They loved me so much..."
Xia Jianqing became alert upon hearing this, inspecting her expression closely for a while before shaking his head, "Chenxing, don’t do anything foolish. You can’t defeat them. You have no idea how powerful he is. You’re so vulnerable; I can’t bear to watch you—"
