Chapter 17: Brother

It was a gloomy day and finally a rainstorm fell.

The dim street lights accompanied Cen Xia's lonely figure slowly forward.

The breeze after the rain was chilly, but a warm current flowed through her heart and body.

Being with that person is like going back to the old days ...

In the past three years, even Fan Yiming has not come to her dreams. His gentle smiling face has appeared countless times. Her brother ...

Lin Lang is exactly like his brother.

She reached out and touched her face, fortunately the mask concealed her appearance.

But is it possible that my brother is still alive?

Cen Xia looked back at the brightly lit city that never sleeps, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

He looks similar but he is not his brother.

But the appearance of this person made her seem to see hope.

Chi Jinyan knew that the man looked very much like Cen Ming, but he still asked himself to accompany him. It was really horrible and disgusting.

Fortunately, Lin Lang was very gentlemanly and just listened quietly to her somewhat awkward playing. He was not as rude, perverted, or talkative as previous guests.

Cen Xia took out the red rope from his coat pocket, tied it around himself again, and stared for a long time, not noticing that an umbrella was hanging over his head.

She subconsciously took a step back and took off her mask , " Secretary Rong?"

Rong Heng was at a loss. He wanted to check on her mental state, so he followed her all the way.

He really wanted to help this poor woman , " Ms. Cen, are you okay? I'm sorry I couldn't help you ... "

"It's okay. I'm used to it . "

She was very grateful for Rong Heng's reminder, as this man had always been helping her.

The two walked side by side, sharing an umbrella.

Rong Heng kept as much distance from her as possible, with half of his body exposed outside the umbrella.

I reached out to adjust my glasses, but I didn't know where to put my hands.

After some hesitation, he asked her , " Is that person ... really not Mr. Cen Ming?"

Cen Xia felt very disappointed, knowing that it was Chi Jinyan who asked him to come and find out.

She curled her lips and looked sad . " No."

He added , " My brother has a deep scar on his palm. I caused it. I remember it very clearly. This person has nothing on his palm." And Lin Lang's walking was a little abnormal, which his brother would not do.

Rong Heng felt some indescribable emotions in his heart, but he was also somewhat relieved.

"Master, actually ... "

"Cen Ming is dead, and the Cen family ... has no hope anymore." Cen Xia could only swallow the bitterness and frown as he recalled.

The Cen family quickly fell into decline in the month she got married.

Chi Jinyan acquired all the properties of the Cen family.

Mr. Cen's status and position were retained only to make his nominal wife appear to be a match for him.

It is in name only and is barely surviving.

Rong Heng knew all of this very well. He had been working for Chi Jinyan over the years, so there was nothing he didn't know.

But the young master's obsession with Miss Gu drove him crazy.

Recently he could feel that if he continued like this, the young master would definitely regret it.

"Ms. Cen, if you need me, I will do my best."

Cen Xia stopped, she could feel his sincerity at the moment.

"Thank you."

She doesn't want others' sympathy, as that would make her feel stripped of her self-esteem.

Rong Heng called a taxi for her, but that was all he could do.

Looking at the car lights going away, his heart was filled with ripples ...

The villa was surrounded by darkness.

Cen Xia turned on the light of her cell phone and shone it on the wet path. This cell phone was only given to her by Chi Jinyan when she went to Star Nest. It had positioning and eavesdropping features, so even if it was not used, the phone would not lose its signal.

She has no friends and her parents can't contact her.

She returned to the cottage in the other courtyard quickly with a chill in her heart, intending to take a pill and have a good sleep first. As soon as she entered the door, she noticed an unfriendly look, and she immediately reached out to turn on the light.

really.

Chi Jinyan was sitting on the sofa beside the bed, his dark eyes looking at her, as if to suck her into the abyss.

"Ms. Cen, you're pretty fast. How does it feel to see an old friend?" He stood up and walked towards Cen Xia.

The night was so quiet that one could clearly hear his footsteps, which were beating on Cen Xia's heart, step by step.

The shadows in front of his eyes grew bigger and bigger, and he seemed to have drunk some wine.

Cen Xia lowered her head and didn't look at him, as if this could avoid a nightmare.

Her silence made Chi Jinyan dissatisfied. He pinched her face and forced her to look at him.

"When will you learn your lesson?"

For a moment he actually hoped that the woman would smile back at him.

Cen Xia never looked at him.

His voice was hoarse and low , " Your eyes never seem to look at me?"

This pair of cold eyes was different from Xiao Xia. Thinking of Gu Xia, he coldly questioned her , " Why did you want to kill Xiao Xia?"

Mentioning her, Cen Xia began to feel pain again, her eyes watered again, her voice trembled , " I didn't, I didn't think of hurting her, I didn't even know you had a girlfriend, Old Madam Chi told me you didn't ... I really didn't know, I didn't know ... "

Chi Jinyan's long-term psychological suggestion, coupled with her guilt towards Gu Xia, led Cen Xia to believe from the bottom of her heart that she was unforgivable.

"I do not believe."

Chi Jinyan threw her to the ground with bloodshot eyes.

"You begged my grandmother to marry me, and now you go and beg her to let you divorce. What do you think of me, Chi Jinyan? If it weren't for you, how could she have died tragically." He hated the Cen family for stopping him from seeing her for the last time, and he hated Cen Xia even more for killing his beloved woman.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Don't try to escape from me. Even Cen Minglai can't save you."

Cen Xia's heart sank, and she shook her head helplessly , " Cen Ming is already dead, it's not what you think."

If Cen Ming died, that person would not be him. Thinking of Cen Xia being with him, Chi Jinyan felt a strong sense of oppression in his heart, "What am I thinking? I'm wondering how far you have developed with the guest just now?"

"Chi Jinyan, you are such a shameless pervert."

"Really? Cen Xia, I'll show you what shamelessness means."

His expression changed and he held Cen Xia down, leaning closer to her . " Cen Xia, didn't you say you liked me? Let me see how sincere you are."

Chi Jinyan reached out to her and slowly pulled open the hem of her skirt.

Seeing that his hand had already touched her skin, Cen Xia suddenly had an idea. She grabbed his hand and stretched it towards her chest. Her voice was slightly soft and her eyes were full of affection.

"Master Chi, I have been waiting for this day. I have learned a lot of skills over the years, but I have never put them into practice. I am waiting to practice with you. You don't have to do it. I will do it myself."

The charming and enchanting tone sounded just like a beauty in a brothel. One hand stroked up along the firm muscles on his chest, slowly brushed his face, leaned in and kissed the thin lips, seducing him.

Chi Jinyan pulled her hand away with disgust.

"Cen Xia, you are so disgusting. Look at how dirty you are. It's disgusting. Don't forget that I, Chi Jinyan, never pick up trash."

He has always been self-disciplined and would not drink excessively, but at this time the effect of alcohol made him a little unconscious, and he could not resist the slightest teasing. Dirty and cheap women were not worthy of his eyes.

"That face has been with you for nearly twenty years, yet you are so shameless as to flirt with him. It's disgusting. Remember, you live only to atone for your sins. Don't even think about climbing into someone's bed ... "

He left and Cen Xia breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew that the man hated this kind of her behavior the most. She was too proud to allow her enemy to humiliate her, and she would never get into his bed with anyone else.

Cold sweat had already soaked her clothes. She relaxed and collapsed to the ground, her eyes filled with tears that flowed down like a waterfall.

In a trance, she saw her brother's shadow and reached out to touch him, but it eventually disappeared into thin air as if it was just a dream.

Even though she knew her brother was dead, she still hoped that the man was her brother and came to redeem her.

But she was afraid that her brother would know what she looked like now.

Cen Xia curled up on the ground in panic, shaking her head constantly to wake up from this nightmare.
