Chapter 100: No Regrets
Qi Yuan didn't say that.
She didn't know why she didn't say it, maybe it was out of her own selfishness, or maybe she didn't want to embarrass her sister...
"Qi Yuan." The girl pinched her sister's soft ears and smiled a rare smile. "Do you have a good impression of Chu Yuan?"
"Eh?" Qi Yuan thought for a long time, not hiding anything from his sister, and nodded seriously, "Maybe, a little bit."
After receiving this answer, Qi Yao's eyes flashed with sadness, but it was quickly replaced by teasing.
"When you mention him now, there's a light in your eyes."
"Really?" Qi Yuan's cheeks flushed slightly as she whispered, "Just a little bit of affection... just a little bit." She used her index finger and thumb to indicate a distance of one centimeter and emphasized, "Just a little bit."
Holding her sister's hand, Qi Yao smiled slightly: "Xiaoyuan, if you say that, I'll feel a little more at ease... Although I don't want a marriage, if you don't like that person, there's no need for an exchange."
"Sister, do you think I am someone who would put myself in a difficult position?" In order to prove the man's goodness, Qi Yuan roughly recounted what happened on today's date.
"When we came out of the amusement park and went to buy ice cream, we saw a guy beating and scolding a stray dog on the roadside. The dog was skinny and small, and he punched and kicked it, but it didn't bite anyone and just kept barking. It looked very pitiful.
"I just wanted to mind my own business and went up to stop the guy, but he seemed to be drunk and wanted to hit me.
"Then!" Qi Yuan's eyes flashed brightly as he got to the point, and he unconsciously raised his voice. "Chu Yuan knocked that man down in just a few moves and even made him apologize to me. Sister, let me tell you, he's so handsome when he fights!"
Qi Yao listened quietly and asked with interest: "And then?"
"Then, we sent the dog to the stray animal rescue center together. I learned that Chu Yuan had worked as a volunteer there before and had donated money..." Qi Yuan clenched his fists, "Sister, he is really a very gentle person!"
"Is that your type?"
"Hmm!" Qi Yuan was a little disappointed again, "I hope he is not pretending to trick me."
"Xiaoyuan, since you've decided to accept him, you have to believe in yourself." Qi Yao said casually, "Based on that drinking experience, Chu Yuan is indeed a good person."
Qi Yuan looked at his sister with a complicated expression: "Sister, you..."
"But he's not my type." Qi Yao said, "I don't have any feelings for him at all."
I didn't know whether I was talking to my sister or to myself.
…
"I know my sister is attracted to that guy... For the first time in her life, someone took her to a bar, helped her do rebellious things, and even solved her problems perfectly. How could she not be attracted? How could she not be attracted?"
This diary was written on the eve of the engagement. When Qi Yuan flipped through it, he found that the last page had been torn off.
Intuitively, the page that was torn off contained very important content. Qi Yuan tried hard to recall what he had written in his diary.
To no avail.
Turning over the torn page, the next diary entry was written half a year later.
XX/XX/20XX, raining, 12 o'clock sharp.
I can't believe Dad is such a person. How could he do this? Aren't the Chu family our family family? He was the one who chose to marry into the Chu family, so why did he make such a decision? I can't understand. He's really gone too far!
…
It was just a short paragraph, with messy handwriting and sharp strokes, which showed Qi Yuan's inner anger and entanglement when he wrote it.
"Did Dad...do anything excessive?"
Qi Yuan continued to flip forward.
The next diary entry will be in a week.
"I will never forgive my father or my sister. They deceived me together. I hate them! I will never forgive them!"
Looking at the date in the diary, it was written three days before the car accident, and there was no other content at the back of the diary.
In other words, on the third day after she wrote this, she and Qi Yao had a car accident.
She survived, but Qi Yao died.
In connection with the contents of the diary, Qi Yuan had a terrible guess in his heart.
The car accident...was it really an accident? Did Qi Yao really get into trouble to protect her?
Judging from the hatred towards her father and sister revealed in her words, could it be that the car accident was actually a revenge arranged by her?
Her sister died and she lost her memory. In order to protect her, her parents had to declare it an accident?
Qi Yuan closed the diary and paced back and forth in the room anxiously.
What happened back then? And what was written on that torn page?
No, I can't let my imagination run wild like this. There are traces of what happened back then, and there's still Chu Yuan.
Chu Yuan is in the study next door. As long as we ask him, we will definitely know what happened that year.
The girl walked out of the room and stopped at the study door.
Chu Yuan, who was casually flipping through a book, heard footsteps, looked up at her, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Have you finished reading?"
"Yeah." The truth was right in front of her, but considering the hatred Chu Yuan showed towards the Qi family, she suddenly became timid.
What would she do if her father and sister really did something excessive to Chu Yuan?
As if seeing through her inner hesitation, Chu Yuan leaned on the desk with one hand and asked her: "What do you want to ask me?"
Taking a deep breath, Qi Yuan walked towards the man in front of the desk step by step, and also towards the truth of the past.
"Chu Yuan, please tell me what happened back then."
Meeting the girl's determined gaze, Chu Yuan was momentarily dazed before he smiled: "If you want to know, I can tell you."
"Thank you, Chu Yuan."
What happened back then...
In his memory, the changes in his family happened suddenly.
His grandfather died of illness and was found to have been poisoned. The police opened a case and eventually pointed the finger at his father.
My father was taken away as a suspect. He knew that his opponent was well prepared, so he ordered his men to find out the truth about my grandfather's death.
Unexpectedly, before he could find out the result, someone came out and accused his father of poisoning.
"Qi Yuan, the person who stood up to testify is your father, Qi Zhengguo."
A former close friend suddenly stood up to testify against him, and the charges were false.
"After my father learned the news, he met with me and told me to leave Fengyang as soon as possible." Chu Yuan clenched his fists slowly, his voice dry. "Then, the next day, the police station called me and said my father had committed suicide."
The exclamation that almost came out of his mouth was covered by Qi Yuan's mouth.
"My father already knew by then that the enemy was targeting our Chu family's eldest branch, so he asked me to leave." After a long pause, Chu Yuan continued, "I didn't listen to him and tried to seek justice for him on my own. But... those people didn't kill me. Instead, they sent me to the Xiling laboratory, where I spent the most miserable four years of my life."
"Chu Yuan..." Qi Yuan was so shocked that he felt like his body no longer belonged to him. His mouth was faster than his brain and he asked a question, "My father, why would you do such a thing?"
They are relatives by marriage and are friendly tribes who support each other. Why did the father do that?
