Chapter 30: Shock

"Cen Xia, you are tired of living."

There was a chill in Chi Jinyan's dark eyes. He hadn't treated Cen Xia like this for a long time. He tried hard to piece together the words he had just heard and seemed to have gotten some answer.

"Is it because of that dead man?"

His anger intensified as he chewed the sour bitter taste carefully.

There is no light or heavy force in your hands, just apply it gradually.

Cen Xia grabbed his arm and instinctively tried to push him away.

She could endure any humiliation she wanted.

But Chi Jinyan, the enemy who hurt his brother.

She would never let him have his way even if she died.

As a tear fell on his hand.

She lost consciousness and passed out.

Chi Jinyan let go of his hand and looked at Cen Xia who had fallen to the ground. A trace of panic flashed in his eyes. He saw her chest rising and falling, and her weak breathing was still there.

Her words stimulated him, and an inexplicable feeling of powerlessness made him feel uncomfortable all over.

He has always been calm and composed, and has never lost control like he is now. It's all because of this woman's disobedience.

Every lie she told can't be compared to the simple Xiao Xia.

Chi Jinyan walked to the sofa, sat down and lit a cigarette. He seldom smoked, but sometimes just lighting a cigarette could calm his mind.

The alcohol gradually wore off, and looking at Cen Xia lying motionless on the ground, he calmed down, picked up his phone and dialed the number he had never called before.

In the Cen family's house, a white-haired old man picked up the phone in the living room and complained unhappily, "Who is it? It's so late ... "

"Cen Honghui."

Cen Honghui will never forget this voice.

That devilish man forcibly took his daughter away and he had not allowed her to see her for three years.

"Mr. Chi, what can I do for you? Is it Xia Xia ... "

"I'll just ask once, why did Cen Xia marry me?"

He had no interest in Cen Xia's affairs before, but now he wanted to know about Cen Xia's past. After all, the more he knew about his enemy's background, the more accurate he would be in taking revenge.

"Mr. Chi, it's been so long since this happened ... "

"My patience is limited. If you lie, you will see your daughter's miserable state tomorrow."

"Mr. Chi, Xia Xia has endured three years of suffering, and it's time to pay it back. It's all my fault. We are very sorry for Miss Gu's accident, but it has nothing to do with Xia Xia ... "

"Do not talk nonsense."

Cen Honghui thought that it was impossible to hide these things. He was silent for a while and finally decided to tell him the "truth".

"Back then, a friend of Xia Xia died in an accident. She saw you at the scene. Since you were competitors, she went to ask for an explanation from Old Lady Chi. Unfortunately, she wanted Xia Xia to be her granddaughter-in-law before she told her the truth. Mr. Chi, this is just a misunderstanding. Xia Xia really likes you ... "

Chi Jinyan hung up the phone before he could finish.

A misunderstanding? He made such a light statement, looking at Cen Xia with a look that seemed to contain both tenderness and hatred.

Cen Xia was half awake, but before she opened her eyes, a cold breath made her shiver all over. But just staying unconscious was not a solution.

"Now that you're awake, why don't you get out of here?"

The low voice was cold, she slowly stood up, not daring to look at him, and walked out the door nervously.

Chi Jinyan looked at the door that was slowly closing, feeling somewhat disgusted with his own behavior, secretly laughing at himself for being so ridiculous.

Alcohol confused his attitude towards Cen Xia, but Cen's father's last words were always imprinted in his mind.

I shook off the weird thoughts that kept popping up in my mind and carefully sorted out the information I had received.

He knew who Father Cen was talking about, and Chi Jinyan was half-believing and half-doubting his words. She had been willing to endure her torture for that man for three years, which made him a little concerned.

It seems that he cares more about Cen Xia than Xiao Xia's death.

He was indeed at the scene of Fan Yiming's car accident, but only because Xiao Xia was there and she was looking for a pearl bracelet that he had given her, that's all.

After thinking for a long time, his eyes swept to the table beside the bed.

Looking at Xiaoxia's photo on the table, my heart ached.

No matter what the reason was, it was true that she killed Xiao Xia. He had personally investigated that and there was no doubt about it, so he would not be soft-hearted towards Cen Xia.

He walked heavily to the table, picked up Gu Xia's photo and looked at it carefully.

"Why can Cen Ming come back to life, but Xiao Xia can't?"

"Cen Ming, you can die once, and I can make you die a second time."

With a snap, the photo was pinned to the table.

The reason why Cen Xia dared to disobey was because of Cen Ming. Only when Cen Ming fell could she be completely obedient.

After a long silence, his eyes returned to their usual coldness.

"Cen Xia, it's impossible for you to pay it back. You will pay the price for your lies."

－－

He ran away in a hurry the moment Cen Xia stepped out of the door.

She didn't want to stay a moment longer.

She rushed into the bathroom in her room and scrubbed the places that Chi Jinyan had touched.

He remembered something and picked up the toothbrush and brushed it carefully again.

She was still in shock and didn't know why Chi Jinyan treated her like this.

Is this another form of revenge?

She was in despair. She was talking nonsense because her brain was hot. She heard Chi Jinyan talking with his father in a semi-comatose state, but she didn't know what they said.

She didn't know what means such a person would use to deal with her.

Cen Xia hugged herself, not daring to look forward to tomorrow anymore. She missed her brother so much.

She was so frightened that she became a little out of control.

He hurriedly picked up the medicine and swallowed a few pills, trying to stay calm.

Cen Xia slept in the bathroom all night.

It was difficult to survive in the Chi family, but I couldn’t bear it anymore.

She seemed to be trapped in a nightmare, or perhaps her fear of reality made her unwilling to wake up.

I had a high fever for three days and there was still no sign of it going away.

Chi Jinyan came to see her once, left a word and left coldly.

"Let it fend for itself."

Maybe this will end this bad relationship.

I don’t know whether God is showing mercy or playing tricks on me.

On the fifth day, she woke up.

When I opened my eyes, I saw my brother.

It was as if I was back in my childhood when I was sick, and the first thing I saw when I woke up was my brother’s gentle smile.

He doesn't look like Chi Jinyan. His face is perfect and doesn't look like an ordinary mortal, but he has a mature and friendly aura.

Influenced by him, Cen Xia's standard for finding a boyfriend is to look like his brother.

"Xia Xia."

Lin Lang excitedly grabbed her hand, fearing that he would lose it again.

He had been in a state of panic for several days, and when he learned that Cen Xia was ill, he couldn't help but make wild guesses and wanted to go see her.

He went to Chi's house under the pretext of delivering a thank-you gift to Chi Jinyan for the dinner. Despite being stopped, he saw his dying sister. He was so heartbroken that he forcibly took her to the hospital.

"Brother, am I dreaming?"

Cen Xia's eyes were filled with tears, she couldn't believe it.

"Xia Xia, I am your brother. You are not dreaming. It is you who is late. I am sorry, Xia Xia."

Cen Ming is also Lin Lang.

His heart felt like it was being pulled at him, and he hated himself for always being one step late.

I didn’t take my sister away earlier.

Cen Xia closed her eyes.

After a long time, when I opened my eyes again, I was gradually awake.

If the first person she saw was Chi Jinyan, she would probably go crazy again.

She struggled hard to get up, and Cen Ming supported her.

"Brother, why am I here?"

Cen Ming stroked her hair and coaxed her like he did when they were little.

"Xia Xia was sick, but she is well now. Brother will take you home soon."
