Chapter 294 Past and Memories

The wailing sirens of the ambulances rang out, adding a bit of noise to the already uneasy night sky.

After hearing the servant's report, Xie Yanchuan's already cold expression became even colder.

On the other side, Xie Kaiwen was also shaken for a moment in disbelief after hearing the news.

"I, I actually, killed someone...?"

Although he had thought about asking Liu Zhiyi to shut up completely, he still found it hard to accept when this scene actually happened.

After all, Liu Zhiyi had been with him for so many years and had even given birth to a son for him...

Of course, the most important thing is that he accidentally killed someone just now.

And it happened in front of so many people. This time, even without Xie Yanchuan taking action, he would probably not be able to escape legal sanctions.

A moment of immense fear almost annihilated Xie Kaiwen.

At this time, Xie Yanchuan also pursed his lips slightly.

Regarding the situation just now, before the ambulance arrived, he squatted down to check on Liu Zhiyi's condition.

Based on his previous experience of fighting with swords and guns, considering that Liu Zhiyi was hit on the head by Xie Kaiwen just now, unless an unexpected miracle happened, the other party would probably die.

So just now, when he heard the servant say that Liu Zhiyi was dead, he was not too surprised.

He had anticipated Liu Zhiyi's death a long time ago, but what he didn't expect was that the news of his death would come so quickly.

For a moment, Xie Yanchuan's thoughts seemed to stop at this moment.

He seemed to suddenly recall when he was a child.

At that time, his mother had not passed away yet, and Xie Kaiwen was not as hateful as he is now. He was still living in the love of his parents.

Until one day, the mother came back from outside, followed by Liu Zhiyi into the house. The former introduced him gently and said: "Yanchuan, this is your aunt, Zhiyi, mom's favorite sister~"

At that time, Liu Zhiyi didn't seem to treat him as hatefully and cautiously as she did later. She smiled happily and gently touched his cheek with her fingertips.

"Sister, Yan Chuan looks like you when you were a child. He is very handsome. When he grows up, he will definitely be liked by many girls."

Xie Yanchuan seemed to still remember that when Liu Zhiyi came that day, she brought a bag of pine nut candy with her and handed it to him. For a long time after that, the faint aroma of pine nut candy lingered around him.

This was so serious that, for a long time afterwards, Xie Yanchuan couldn't figure out how things had turned out like this.

After his mother died "of illness", his once beloved aunt reconciled with his father on the pretext of taking care of him.

After being accidentally discovered by him, Xie Yanchuan once questioned his father whether there was anything else strange about his mother's death.

He was still very young at the time and had no idea what a horrible and dark life his careless guess would bring him.

That was the first time he saw the extremely dark side beneath Xie Kaiwen's hypocritical appearance.

The man who was originally smiling immediately changed his expression after hearing his words.

Xie Kaiwen beat him severely with a steel pipe as thick as the one used today. Although he was young at the time, he still knew to curl up his body and protect his head, which barely saved his life.

At that time, he was beaten so badly that he couldn't help but beg Liu Zhiyi to save him, but what awaited him was Liu Zhiyi's ruthless gaze away.

After that, he was beaten half to death and thrown into the basement of the villa by the two men like a piece of rag.

That night, Xie Yanchuan developed a high fever, but no one cared.

In the huge Xie family villa left by his mother, apart from the servants who came to bring him food every day, no one cared about his life or death.

Thinking about it now, Xie Yanchuan didn't even know how he managed to survive at that time. There was only one thought in his mind, which was to know the truth about his mother's death.

However, he also learned to be smarter because of this incident.

After seeing through Xie Kaiwen's true face and knowing that Liu Zhiyi would not help him, he learned to pretend and restrain his emotions.

He tried his best to reduce his presence in this family, as if only in this way could he barely survive.

While other children of his age were studying and going to school, he was learning how to survive.

It seemed that since the day Xie Kaiwen beat him up, the man seemed to have discovered a new world.

He pretends to be gentle and kind outside, but when he gets angry and upset, he goes home and takes it all out on Xie Yanchuan.

But he also has a handsome appearance, which attracts countless young and beautiful women. Even though they know that he has lost his wife and has a son, they still flock to him.

Liu Zhiyi was also one of those stupid women.

So during that time, the words Xie Yanchuan heard her say most often were: "Yanchuan, don't blame me, I also have my reasons for doing this."

"Yanchuan, if you want to blame someone, blame your mother. So many people have failed, but why is it that she is the only one who won your father's heart?"

"Yanchuan, I can't accept this. Why, even after I've done this for your father, the number of women around him keeps increasing? ... Is there any way you can make him look at me again?"

Every time this happened, Xie Yanchuan would choose to retort or remain silent, but in the end, without exception, he would be met with endless abuse and secret targeting from the woman.

After all, she had to pretend to be pure, innocent and virtuous in front of Xie Kaiwen.

Xie Yanchuan also went from being confused at first to gradually accepting it.

It seemed as if he didn't know when it started, but the aunt who always smiled and brought him sweet candies had unknowingly become Liu Zhiyi.

After realizing that he would be less targeted in this family if he remained silent, Xie Yanchuan became less talkative.

He often took a book and slipped away to the lawn in the corner of the villa when the adults were not paying attention, as if only in this way could he get a brief moment of peace and quiet.

Until that day, he got the chance as usual and sneaked into his "secret base", where he was reading a book intently.

A furry head popped out from the top of the fence behind him, and looked at him with a smile from the other side of the wall.

Just like the person who suddenly held his hand from behind today, they were perfect and flawless, overlapping each other.

"Xie Yanchuan."

Jiang Wanning frowned, calling back Xie Yanchuan's restless thoughts.
