Chapter 49: Broken Face

"Don't just stand there, go quickly, it's too late!"

Chen Dani shouted anxiously, but she was just a poor child and her legs were sore from running.

"What happened?" Liang Jinyu turned back.

This made Dani very anxious. Why didn't he run away but walked back?

"My father knows that you are here to look for Li Zheng and has already caught up with you. Stop asking questions and just run." Chen Dani shouted at the top of her voice.

Liang Jinyu's expression changed immediately. She looked back the way she came, but didn't see Chen Lai Fu, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

But then Liang Jinyu thought that Dani could catch up, and Chen Laifu's pace was much faster than hers, so there was no reason why he was still nowhere to be seen.

Did he go there by another route?

Thinking of this possibility, Liang Jinyu no longer bothered to ask any more questions and ran desperately to Liuhe Manor.

When Chen Dani saw her running away, she collapsed to the ground like a deflated ball.

At the same time, on the mountain road in the distance.

Chen Lai-fu had a gloomy face and exuded a terrifying aura.

He ran faster and faster, not caring at all about the branches and thorns hitting his face. He ran like a madman.

Here we are. We will be here soon.

Liang Jinyu saw the bamboo forest in the distance, ran through the forest and down the mountain, and soon she would reach Li Zheng's house.

She gritted her teeth and did not dare to rest for a moment. Her legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

Rustling...

The movement behind her startled Liang Jinyu suddenly. She turned around and felt a chill all over her body.

Chen Lai-fu jumped down from the hillside, only four or five meters away from her.

"Where are you going?" Chen Lai Fu asked with a sullen face.

Liang Jinyu turned around and ran, but her body had reached its limit and she could not move any further once she stopped.

After a while, Chen Laifu caught up with her. He grabbed Liang Jinyu's arm forcefully, his face showing a fierce look: "Are you here to look for Li Zheng? When have you met him? Didn't I tell you that the household registration certificate has been processed? Why did you come here by yourself? Huh?! Speak!"

Looking at Chen Lai Fu who was like a mad dog, Liang Jinyu actually calmed down.

That's it, that's how he should be!

This is the true face of Chen Lai Fu, selfish, manic, and barbaric, just like old man Chen.

Liang Jinyu was too familiar with Chen Laifu, and couldn't help but sneer and asked, "Why did you come here? Don't you know this very well?"

Chen Laifu's mouth twitched, and his eyes gradually became fierce: "It seems that what my mother said is true. You have secretly met Li Zheng, and you asked him to apply for a household registration certificate for you, right? You bastard!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Lai Fu suddenly slapped Liang Jinyu.

Liang Jinyu's head was buzzing from the beating, and the burning pain made her feel as if she had returned to her previous life.

"Jin, Jinyu, I didn't mean it. I'm sorry. Are you okay? I was just too angry, so I couldn't control myself for a moment. I'm sorry!" Chen Lai Fu suddenly panicked again and let go of Liang Jinyu helplessly.

"Ha." Liang Jinyu laughed out loud, turned around and left.

Chen Lai Fu hurriedly caught up, begging humbly: "I really didn't mean it, I asked you to hit me back, Jinyu, don't be angry, hit me, hit me!"

Chen Lai-fu went to pull Liang Jinyu's arm.

Liang Jinyu shook him off and quickened her pace.

We walked across the ridge of the field and onto the bamboo forest, then passed through the path behind the thatched cottage and headed straight down the valley.

Although Liang Jinyu had only been here once, she had an excellent memory and was very familiar with the place.

Chen Lai Fu, who had been staring at her from behind, gradually turned his look from panic to fierce.

Finally, Chen Lai Fu rushed up without warning.

"You bastard, how dare you lie to me! The last time you came to Liuhe Manor was to find him, right?"

Chen Lai Fu's left hand held Liang Jinyu's arm tightly like an iron clamp, and his right hand was raised high.

Before his slap could land, Liang Jinyu turned around and kicked him in the crotch.

"Ah——" Chen Lai Fu screamed loudly, clamped his legs together and slowly knelt down.

Liang Jinyu pushed him away with all her might and ran down the hillside without looking back.

"You bastard, just wait for me, you can't run away, you can't run away!" Chen Lai Fu covered his hips in pain. He wanted to chase after him but was in so much pain that he couldn't stand up.

Liang Jinyu's heart was pounding like a drum, and she almost fell down several times while running down the hillside.

After finally stumbling to Ri Zheng's house, I saw that the door was closed!

In an instant, the blood in Liang Jinyu's body seemed to freeze and his mind went blank.

"Looking for me?" A questioning voice came from behind.

Liang Jinyu turned around and almost burst into tears the moment she saw Xiang Linchuan.

He is here!

Xiang Linchuan looked her up and down and finally remembered who she was. It wasn't her appearance that he remembered, but what happened this morning.

"Come in." Xiang Linchuan pushed open the door.

Liang Jinyu followed him in and said impatiently, "Li Zheng, I am Liang from Yanghe Village. I am here to get my household registration certificate from you."

"I know." Xiang Linchuan said calmly, and actually took off his coat in front of Liang Jinyu, revealing his muscular upper body.

Liang Jinyu turned around and said anxiously, "I have something to do at home. Li Zheng, can you give me the household registration certificate first?"

Xiang Linchuan looked at Liang Jinyu with interest.

If it were an ordinary girl, she would have been frightened and ran away long ago.

She, on the other hand, turned around but apparently didn't mind that he was naked, as if it was nothing unusual.

"I remember you said you were from Yangsu?" Xiang Linchuan pulled the towel off the bamboo pole and asked while wiping his body.

Liang Jinyu had to patiently answer: "Yes, I fled from Mocheng, a small city under Yangsu."

"Have you ever heard of the name of Duke Wu Liang Mu?" Xiang Linchuan asked while rubbing his armpits.

Suddenly, Liang Jinyu's breathing stagnated and he tensed his body.

"It is said that Yangsu is the fief of Duke Wu. Do you know where his mansion is exactly?" Xiang Linchuan sniffed his armpits and threw the towel back onto the pole.

Liang Jinyu nervously grabbed the hem of her clothes, trying to calm down. After a while, she said calmly, "I don't know."

"Forget it, I'm sorry you don't know." Xiang Linchuan said indifferently. Just as he was about to put on his clothes, he saw someone stumbling in from outside the door.

"You can't give her the household registration certificate. There's something wrong with her identity. Don't trust her!" Chen Lai Fu came in with his legs tucked together and shouted as soon as he saw Xiang Linchuan.

Liang Jinyu panicked and immediately scolded, "Chen Laifu, shut up! Don't think I will believe you just because you are telling lies. Even if you don't have a household registration certificate, I will still divorce you!"

Xiang Linchuan frowned and asked unhappily, "Who are you?"

Chen Laifu immediately said, "My name is Chen Laifu, I'm her man, and we're married."

Xiang Linchuan said contemptuously: "Since you are married, you knew about her identity problems but didn't report them. Do you think you can get away with it?"

Chen Lai Fu trembled with his lips, and before he could think of an excuse, he heard Xiang Linchuan asking Liang Jinyu.

"Why did you divorce him?"

Liang Jinyu stroked his cheek and said with forbearance: "No woman in this world can endure endless beatings and scoldings. If my parents had not died early and there was no one to rely on at home, how could I have been deceived by his few words?"

Xiang Linchuan noticed the redness and swelling on Liang Jinyu's cheeks at first, but he didn't expect that it was caused by being beaten by her man.

When I heard her say that her parents died early and she had no one to rely on, I immediately thought of myself and couldn't help but feel sympathy for her.

"Only a useless man would swing his fist at his woman." Xiang Linchuan said with disgust and asked Liang Jinyu to follow him into the house.
