Chapter 234 Her Hatred

Seeing Hua Yue so excited, Yu Qingchuan pursed his lips slightly.

He stretched out his hand, wanting to hug her, but hesitated and stopped just above her shoulder.

To be honest, this was not the first time he was attracted to a girl, but it was the first time he had such a strong emotional reaction.

He wanted so badly to hold her in his arms, so badly to take her under his protection.

But he didn't dare.

She didn't seem to have that kind of intention towards him.

Cheng Sinian looked at Yu Qingchuan's hesitant hand, reluctant to let go, and felt anxious and scratching his head.

Cheng Sinian kept roaring in his heart: Let it go, let it go!

Is this kid stupid?!

Why didn’t you seize such a good opportunity to perform?

What better opportunity to take down a girl than when she is vulnerable?

Didn't he get to the top by relying on his attentiveness to Zhenzhen when she was feeling down?

Hua Yue had no idea what was going on in the minds of the others, and was now completely lost in her own emotions, unable to extricate herself.

"What did she do?"

Suddenly, a clear but doubtful female voice interrupted Huayue's thoughts.

Hua Yue came back to her senses and looked up to meet Qiao Yu's questioning yet gentle face.

As if by magic, Huayue suddenly calmed down.

"...She wants me to go back to the brothel." Hua Yue raised the corner of her mouth sarcastically and said coldly.

"But haven't you been redeemed?" Luo Zhenzhen frowned and asked in confusion.

"Yes." Hua Yue clenched her hands tightly, "It was because I was redeemed that she went to find Grandpa!"

"Then why do you want to go back?" Qiao Yu also frowned. "In places like this, isn't it usually a money-for-all when redeeming someone?"

The sarcasm on Huayue's face became more obvious. "Because she's addicted to gambling. She wants me to go back to the brothel and make money to pay off her debts."

Everyone suddenly realized that this was the case.

Hua Yue sighed softly, "I think you can guess what happened in the middle."

"That's right. She ran up a huge debt from gambling and couldn't pay it back, so she set her sights on me."

"But I had already been redeemed, so she went to find Grandpa."

"Grandpa couldn't bear to see me go back to that hell, and he didn't want to make grandma sad, so he decided to pay off her debt himself."

"Actually, Grandpa didn't want Grandma to know at first, but because the amount was so huge, he couldn't hide it anymore. But after Grandma found out, she didn't stop them, so they kept it a secret from me and paid off my mother's debts..."

Huayue's voice began to become sad again.

"Even Grandpa's injuries were caused by... a creditor who came to him and forced him to pay his debts, which led to his tragic death..."

Huayue thought of the tragic scene when her grandfather was seriously injured and unconscious, and tears began to flow uncontrollably.

"No... maybe I can't blame her entirely... I'm also responsible... I'm the one who harmed Grandpa and Grandma..."

Huayue's tears began to flow again. She clutched the corner of her clothes, bit her lips tightly, and a look of deep self-blame appeared on her face.

"If I had stayed in the brothel and not been adopted by my grandparents... they wouldn't have been targeted by that woman... and the series of events that followed wouldn't have happened..."

"It's all my fault... I hurt Grandpa and Grandma... Woo woo..."

Seeing Hua Yue crying uncontrollably, Cheng Sinian began to wink at Yu Qingchuan, but unfortunately Yu Qingchuan's eyes were always on Hua Yue and he didn't even look at Cheng Sinian.

Cheng Sinian was so angry that he almost fell over.

But what made Cheng Sinian feel relieved was that Yu Qingchuan was not so stupid as to be ridiculous.

After several more hesitations and struggles, Yu Qingchuan finally took Hua Yue, who was crying with her face covered, into his arms.

Cheng Sinian almost shed tears like an old father.

The pigs in my own home finally take the initiative to dig up the cabbage!

Hua Yue felt that she was suddenly surrounded by a fresh lemon scent. Her whole body froze and it took her two seconds to realize that she was in Yu Qingchuan's arms.

His embrace was warm and generous, making Huayue feel as if he could accommodate everything about her.

But such warmth made Huayue cry even more.

Apart from grandpa and grandma, no one has ever hugged her like this.

"It's not your fault." Yu Qingchuan rested his chin on the top of her head and reached out to pat her gently on the back.

"Don't blame yourself, don't feel guilty, it's not your fault."

Hua Yue's emotions gradually stabilized in Yu Qingchuan's arms, and her crying became quieter and quieter.

Qiao Yu, Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen looked at each other and saw the raging fire of gossip in each other's eyes.

Cheng Sinian signaled to Qiao Yu with his eyes: What should we do? Should we make room for them?

Qiao Yu blinked: Aren’t you not finished yet?

Cheng Sinian: In this atmosphere, can we continue talking?

When Jiang Zhan saw Qiao Yu and Cheng Sinian exchanging glances, his expression immediately darkened.

He reached out and pinched Qiao Yu's chin, turned her face around and made her look into his eyes.

"Don't look at him." Jiang Zhan leaned in front of Qiao Yu and whispered.

His eyes were fixed on hers, with a hint of resentment in them.

Qiao Yu smiled awkwardly, rubbed Jiang Zhan's nose as if to please him, and scratched Jiang Zhan's palm with his hand. It took a lot of effort to coax Jiang Zhan into submission.

Jiang Zhan touched Qiao Yu's face, sat up straight, and glanced at Cheng Sinian with dark eyes again.

The moment Qiao Yu was captured by Jiang Zhan, Cheng Sinian rubbed against Luo Zhenzhen, lowered his head, and resolutely refused to look at Jiang Zhan.

Are you kidding? I don’t even dare to watch it, okay?

Was he just out of his mind? He actually made eye contact with Qiao Yu right in front of Jiang Zhan.

He could already feel the cold gaze fixed on him and the chilling air around him.

Cheng Sinian turned his head to look at the big sun outside the window, and for a moment he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Just when Cheng Sinian was feeling uneasy, Yu Qingchuan and Hua Yue beside him finally calmed down.

Hua Yue gently withdrew from Yu Qingchuan's embrace, her face slightly red. Tears still welled in her eyes, making her look quite charming, like a pear blossom in the rain.

A slight blush appeared on the tips of Yu Qingchuan's ears. After letting Hua Yue go, he sat quietly beside her, secretly watching Hua Yue's expression from the corner of his eyes.

Seeing this, Qiao Yu quickly took advantage of the opportunity to ask, "Then Yueyue...your grandparents are..."

When Hua Yue heard Qiao Yu's question, her face, which had just turned a little red, turned pale again in an instant.

"Grandpa passed away not long after that... Grandma and I lived together for a while."

"But because she was overworked and missed grandpa so much... grandma passed away not long after."

Huayue pursed her lips and felt her mouth was a little dry.

"After my grandmother passed away, I started living alone. Not long after that, the end of the world came."
