Unfortunately, the blood-red roses suddenly appeared and blocked her way. She could only stand there, her eyes fixed on Lu Qingyan, wishing she could grind her bones to dust.
“There’s no deep-seated hatred between us, so why are you trying to kill me like this?” Lu Qingyan curled her lips. “Rumor has it that you’re unrealistically beautiful, but seeing you today, I realize you’re no different from anyone else. And,” Lu Qingyan looked him up and down, a half-smile on her face, “you’re really getting old. Your skin is loose, and you look like old tree bark that’s been peeled off.”
"Young man, don't be so presumptuous!" The old man's eyes sharpened, and his movements became even more frantic.
"Heh, young one, but judging by age, I don't know which generation's ancestor I am." Lu Qingyan chuckled, stroking her smooth, jade-like cheek. "This is an advantage we were born with, something you can't envy. I heard you once liked someone from our clan and even schemed against him. Sigh, why were you so foolish? You're different from us. Look at you, not even seventy yet, and you've already aged so much. I don't even know how long I've lived, and I'm still so young. If you two had really been together back then, seeing you like this, how could he possibly bring himself to do it?"
"Don't push your luck." The old man was enraged by Lu Qingyan's words and wished he could end her life immediately.
But lacking the strength, they could only be crushed.
She asked, "Who are you to Edmund, and what is your relationship with him?"
The old man spoke through gritted teeth, and Lu Qingyan instantly knew who he was. Osius's brother, the old man's first love, and also... Qiao Li's grandfather.
"You were the one who risked your life to bring that child into the world, so why did you throw him away?" If you decided to abandon him, why bring him into this world in the first place?
"What does he have to offer besides his face? A freak with no brains, a monster who only knows how to drink blood, why should I keep him around?" the old man roared angrily. "Keeping him here was a mistake. He can't help me win back Edmund's heart, so he shouldn't be in this world. Hah, you say your people are the most sentimental? Your people are the most heartless, treacherous, and ungrateful creatures in the world! One day I will kill you all."
"Really? That's a pity, you can't do it."
The familiar roses surrounded the place, filling it with a rich fragrance. After a long time, only an old woman with a blank expression remained.
The old woman knew perfectly well that she was still alive and had a lot to say, but when she opened her mouth, all she could make were babyish babbling sounds.
A single, cloudy tear rolled down her cheek. Her biggest regret wasn't the two wrong decisions she had made in her life, but that when Eileen came to her, she hadn't tried to help her get rid of this hidden danger. Now, this person was actually taking advantage of her.
Haha, her whole life is indeed a joke; she gained nothing from beginning to end.
When Lu Qingyan returned, Qiao Li was still fast asleep. After thinking for a moment, Lu Qingyan left him a note and then left.
Lu Qingyan didn't really want to leave Qiao Li. Although Qiao Li's background was pitiful and made people want to pity him, Lu Qingyan still felt resentful when she thought about how he had inexplicably locked her up.
