Chapter 19: Cause of Death

Of course Chi Jinyan wouldn't be so kind as to send her back.

Wouldn't even ride in the same car with her.

Cen Xia was sent back, and no one knew where Chi Jinyan had gone. Based on his previous style, he would definitely not let her go so easily.

I just heard some of the conversation and he is cooperating with Mr. Lin.

Even she felt it was a bit of a coincidence, let alone someone as wise as Chi Jinyan.

Chi Jinyan only told her that her brother had passed away, but did not explain the reason. She suspected that Chi Jinyan had lied to her and that her brother was not dead at all. After all, that man looked too much like Cen Ming.

After returning to the courtyard, Rong Zhengqing came to tell her to prepare Chi Jinyan's meal in the evening and did not arrange anything else. Cen Xia breathed a sigh of relief. Every day was like being roasted on the fire. She had been living in fear for more than three years.

She was in a trance the whole afternoon, and as it was almost evening, she began to get busy in earnest.

She hadn't cooked for a long time since her injury, but she was still very fast and the servants wouldn't come to help her.

It took a lot of time to learn these things. After working for several hours, Chi Jinyan just took a look at the food and asked someone to throw it to the dog. Even the dog was unwilling to eat the unpalatable food.

Later, Chi Jinyan found a chef to teach her, and she turned from a young lady who had never done housework into an all-round "housewife".

However, Chi Jinyan was filled with hatred, and Cen Xia was filled with regret.

Chi Jinyan seldom eats at home, but requires the food to be exquisite and healthy.

The last time Chi Jinyan dined with Mo Ran, he hardly ate a single bite. This time, he asked her to do it herself. If she didn't do it well, he would torture her in other ways.

Cen Xia was preparing very carefully, hoping that Chi Jinyan would be in a better mood and let her suffer less.

The food was neatly placed on the table. Chi Jinyan came back on time. It was unusually quiet today, but the more quiet it was, the more dangerous it felt.

Watching him finish the last of his meal, he picked up his coffee and put it down again.

Cen Xia's heart was in her throat.

"Cen Xia, how does it feel to see that person again?"

Cen Xia recalled Lin Lang's face in her mind, hid the moisture in her eyes, looked directly at this smiling devil, and answered him coldly , " Master Chi, what do you want to hear me say?"

"Cen Xia, I'm not interested in what you want to say."

The corners of his lips were raised in a beautiful arc, gentle and elegant.

Those eyes revealed a darkness that only Cen Xia could recognize.

"Do you think he is Cen Ming? What would he think if he knew that his sister was a gentle and polite noble lady during the day, but such a flirtatious hostess at night?"

His tone was extremely sarcastic.

"Master Chi is not my brother."

No matter how humiliating Cen Xia's life was, she couldn't help crying whenever her family was mentioned.

"That man is certainly not your brother. Don't even think that he will come to save you. Your brother is already dead. Your Cen family has already fallen. There is no one who can save you."

"Chi Jinyan, that's enough. Is it necessary to bring this up again and again?" Cen Xia cried in a final resistance, "The Cen family is already at the end of its rope, what else do you want?"

Her sobbing made Chi Jinyan irritated and he pinched her wrist.

Chi Jinyan's anger turned into cold words , " Cen Xia, your family deserves to be buried with Xiao Xia. No one is innocent. Your father put pressure on me at the wedding, and I didn't get to see Xiao Xia for the last time. Your brother later wanted to take you away. He deserves to die. Oh, by the way, Cen Xia, I don't think I told you how he died!"

Chi Jinyan looked at the shocked and confused face and did not forget to finish him off.

"Cen Xia, you are the culprit of all this. Everything that happened to your Cen family is because of you. It's a light punishment for your brother to be buried with Xiao Xia."

"Chi Jinyan, what do you mean?"

Cen Xia stood there, unable to believe it. "You said my brother's death was caused by you?" "You lunatic ... "

She raised one hand, but Chi Jinyan grabbed it and threw her to the ground.

There was no chance of touching his face.

"Your weak and incompetent brother is not worthy of my personal action. I just used a little trick and he couldn't bear it and committed suicide."

Cen Xia sat on the ground, shaking uncontrollably, unwilling to believe what he had just heard.

"What ... why? Why ... " She tried to get up and pull Chi Jinyan but was pushed away.

"Don't you know? Cen Xia, you're still playing dumb. In order to kill Xiao Xia, you deliberately told her the news of the marriage to lure her out, and tampered with her car to make it look like an accident. You really have a vicious heart."

Chi Jinyan's scarlet eyes seemed to be about to devour her without leaving any bones.

He was determined to hide his marriage from Xiao Xia because he was afraid she would not be able to bear it, but this woman ...

Xiao Xia's death took away the last bit of warmth in his heart.

"What? Impossible, it's not me. I don't even know her. Why would I hurt her ... ?"

"Cen Xia, you are still quibbling. Do you dare not admit it? ... I want to keep you, let your Cen family pay the price, and let you watch your brother being buried with Xiao Xia. I want you to live in regret for the rest of your life."

"People like you should live and watch the people around you being punished for you one by one."

He was not ashamed to argue with her, especially with a woman so broken down.

He threw a sentence to the housekeeper, "If she doesn't obey, give her a sedative."

Chi Jinyan glanced coldly at Cen Xia's hateful eyes and left. He had more important things to do.

Today is Xiaoxia's death anniversary, and he wants to go and accompany her.

Chi Jinyan's means of revenge are extremely sophisticated, and he is best at stabbing people in the back when they are off guard.

His goal has been achieved.

Cen Xia was screaming and collapsing in the back, but was held back by the servants and couldn't get close to Chi Jinyan at all. Her tears had already burst out and her heart was in so much pain.

But she had never met Gu Xia, so how could she harm her?

It was for this reason that the Cen family and my brother's life were destroyed. My innocent brother lost his life.

How could she forgive herself, and how could her brother forgive her? Thinking of this, she beat her head in pain, wondering why she was not the one who died ...

－－

Cen Xia still had the cold chain on her feet. She was depressed all day, staring blankly at the dark clouds outside the window.

Except for Aunt Zhang who came to deliver food, no one paid any attention to her.

She sat on the window, hugged herself, and hummed the song she sang with her brother when she was a child.

Her eyelashes were trembling, she had cried so many times, her eye circles were swollen, and her pale lips were cracked.

The pain and regret made her mentally ill again, her will gradually disappeared, and she almost lost the courage to live.

But Chi Jinyan would not let her die like this, so he sent people to keep an eye on her and let her stay awake with the help of drugs.

When Rong Heng opened the door, he saw the figure that was so thin that it seemed to be almost blown away by the wind.

He walked quietly to her side, the food beside him still untouched.

After a long while, she raised her head, tears still hanging from the corners of her eyes, and looked at him. She asked in a dry voice the reality that she dared not face, "Secretary Rong, can you tell me how my brother died?"

Rong Heng looked at her sadly, afraid that she could not accept it.

"Ms. Cen, Mr. Cen lost the competition with the young master and jumped into the sea to commit suicide."

A few short words to describe Cen Ming's life, competition? How nice it sounds to say revenge ...

When Cen Xia heard this definite answer, her heart seemed to be crushed and she felt so painful that she could hardly breathe.

Her brother, who had suffered a lot since childhood and had always protected her, died because of her.

"However, the police did not find his body at the time, but the DNA test of Mr. Lin and Mr. Cen did not match, so he was not Cen Ming."

This one sentence brought Cen Xia back from the brink of despair.

Maybe, that person is really my brother.

With a glimmer of hope, she wanted to confirm.
