Xia Chu lowered her eyes, her expression as bitter as if she had swallowed a bitter herb. "Chen Luo, you know we can't be together anymore. If our child were still alive, I might have given each other a chance for that little life, but now the child is gone."
Shen Luo became anxious, "Chu Chu, we can have another child, please give me another chance."
His almost pleading tone was so out of place with the once domineering, stubborn, and arrogant "Master Chen of the City That Never Sleeps".
Xia Chu reached out and touched Shen Luo's pale, bloodless face. "Shen Luo, have you forgotten? Originally, I wouldn't have had this child. That miscarriage completely damaged my body. Being able to get pregnant this time was already a blessing from heaven, but I couldn't accept it. I will never have another child."
Shen Luo shook her head, crying, "No, no, Chu Chu, God will give us another chance."
Xia Chu sighed deeply, "Chen Luo, stop deceiving yourself, okay? You know, the problem between us isn't the child. It's that when I loved you, you didn't love me, and when I didn't love you, you panicked. You panicked simply because you weren't used to it."
"No! It's because I love you!" Shen Luo cried out anxiously.
Xia Chu's pupils contracted briefly, but only for a moment.
She gave a bitter smile. "Whether what you said is true or not, it's too late. Shen Luo, it's too late. I don't love you anymore, and I've decided to give up completely. Now I don't want to get involved in any romantic love anymore. I just want revenge, for my mother, for myself, for Xiao Yun, and for Huo Yan. I don't want to think about anything else."
"I know, I'm waiting for you to get revenge, I'll help you get revenge, but let's not get a divorce, okay?"
When Xia Chu brought up divorce before, Shen Luo always thought that Xia Chu was just playing tricks or making a scene. But recently he realized that Xia Chu really wanted a divorce, that she really didn't love him anymore, and that she really didn't want him anymore.
It wasn't until recently that he finally understood that feeling of panic, as if someone had ripped out the most important thing from his heart, leaving a huge empty space.
"Chu Chu, please don't get a divorce, please don't give up on me. I've already lost my best brother, lost my parents, I can't lose you too."
Yes, Shen Luo no longer has parents. Apart from the old man of the Shen family, Xia Chu is the most important person to him, and he cannot lose Xia Chu.
Xia Chu turned her face away, tears silently rolling down her cheeks. She choked out, "Chen Luo, if only we had known this would happen, why did we do it in the first place? We have no chance to regret it."
"No, you do! As long as you still have a little feeling for me, we have a chance to regret it! Chu Chu, I won't get a divorce, and I don't want to lose you. I promise I will treat you well, and I will do my best to make up for all the mistakes I made before."
"Shen Luo, don't do this..." Xia Chu sobbed uncontrollably.
Shen Luo held Xia Chu tightly, her hot tears streaming down her chin and onto Xia Chu's hair.
Outside the ward, Huo Yan's face was grim, and he was about to rush in.
"Damn it! Where were you before?! You treated me so badly before, and now you want to forgive me? Dream on! I had no one to back me up before, but things are different now. I'm not a dead person!"
But just then, Xu Qingyun grabbed him, "Brother."
Huo Yan gritted his teeth, "Little sister, don't stop me, I'll teach Shen Luo a lesson for my sister!"
Xu Qingyun's eyes were clear. "This is my sister's own business. People in relationships shouldn't let a third party interfere, otherwise it will only make things more complicated."
Huo Yan kicked the wall in anger, "But I get angry just thinking about how much my sister suffered at Shen Luo's hands!"
Xu Qingyun looked at Xia Chu and murmured, "Shen Luo hurt me, but I also gave him a chance. Alright, let me make my own decision."
Although she herself had little experience in relationships, as an outsider, she could still see things clearly.
Huo Yan was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "By the way, are you going to attend the Bai family's funeral?"
Xu Qingyun remained silent.
The Bai family is going to hold a joint funeral for Bai Ruiting and Bai Shuze the day after tomorrow.
Xu Qingyun nodded, "Go."
Huo Yan leaned against the wall, looking down and stomping his foot on the ground. "Our relationship with the Bai family is very complicated."
"Huh?" Xu Qingyun didn't understand for a moment and turned to look at Huo Yan.
Huo Yan then raised his head again, "You'll find out when the time comes."
**
Two days later, the Bai family held a funeral.
Xu Qingyun arrived at the Bai family's house with Ji Hanchen.
Accompanying them were Xia Chu and Shen Luo, Lu Chuan and Qin Shuang, and finally Huo Yan and Ji Yaxuan.
When Ji Yaxuan learned that Bai Shuze was dead, she was first shocked and speechless, and then she was enveloped by a deep sense of unease.
How could Bai Shuze have died in the fire for no reason?!
Moreover, Bai Shuze called her that night, but hung up without saying a word, and when she called back, no one answered.
Then came the news that Bai Shuze and his son Bai Ruiting had died in the fire.
The fire was caused by a large amount of gasoline being ignited instantly, but the forensic doctor performed an autopsy on Bai Shuze and found that he had already died before the fire.
It was obvious that Bai Ruiting killed Bai Shuze and then set the fire, killing both of them.
Why did Bai Ruiting kill Bai Shuze?! That was his biological father!
Is it for that crazy woman from the Fu family?
Regardless of the reason, Ji Yaxuan's biggest worry was whether Huo Xize knew that Huo Yan was Ye Jianjia's biological son, and whether he knew that Xia Chu was Huo Yan's twin sister!
Ji Yaxuan was in turmoil, which is why she made a special trip from Haicheng to attend the funeral of Bai Shuze and his son with Huo Yan.
The Bai family was immersed in grief. The old man of the Bai family seemed to have aged more than ten years in an instant, with his swollen eyelids drooping loosely.
